Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Her face was calm, and her tone was relaxed: "My Lord, please think twice before making any decision. If you trust me, just wait one more day. In three days, I will ensure that Ling Fan returns unharmed. If you insist on acting rashly, I don't mind letting the consequences become a reality."

Shen Muxue's determination made Anping Hou waver.

Now he has nowhere to turn for help, and no one can interfere with the cases in the Dali Temple.

Shen Muxue became his only hope.

"Are you really sure?" asked Marquis Anping.

Shen Muxue replied coldly: "After this is done, don't forget to agree to my conditions."

These words, like a ray of light, illuminated the originally desperate heart of Anping Hou.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance. Xue'er, don't let your uncle down. Otherwise, you'll lose the chance to explore the secret you long for forever."

He said this harsh word and turned away.

An Lan muttered in dissatisfaction: "What kind of attitude is this? He threatens girls at every turn."

Shen Muxue didn't take it to heart. She looked up at the sky and told Qingyi, "Prepare the carriage and go to the Dali Temple immediately."

An Lan was surprised: "Miss, why are you going to the Dali Temple again?"

"When someone asks me to do something, I naturally have to give it my all. Moreover, whether Ling Fan can survive depends entirely on our actions tonight."

Shen Muxue's tone was firm.

An Lan realized that this matter was of great importance, so she did not ask any more questions. She only told Qingyi to protect the young lady well, and Qingyi nodded in agreement.

After the group arrived at the Dali Temple, Jiang Ziling personally met with Shen Muxue and told her that everything was going according to plan.

Shen Muxue stayed at the Dali Temple until late at night. The security outside was tight and there was nothing unusual.

Except for the light footsteps of the jailers as they changed shifts, the night was as quiet as usual.

In the dead of night, Jiang Ziling rubbed his brows and said, "Miss Shen, it looks like that person won't show up tonight."

Shen Muxue looked at the jailers and smiled, "No, he has arrived."

Inside the cell, Ling Fan smelled a faint fragrance. He looked up and saw a man in black standing before him. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ling, tomorrow is the day of your execution. Are you afraid?"

"Who is your Excellency?"

Ling Fan took two steps back and asked cautiously, "You killed Zhang Shunyuan and framed me. What was your intention?"

"Didn't I save your life too?"

The man in black chuckled, stepped forward and grabbed the chain on Ling Fan's hand, and with a little force, the chain broke.

Ling Fan was shocked.

"I've bewitched the jailer. Now I'm the only one who can save you. Are you willing to come with me?"

the man in black asked.

Ling Fan glanced sideways at the nearby cell and resolutely refused: "I won't go with you. If I escape, the Marquisate will be implicated. I can't be so selfish."

The man in black smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will find a substitute to die in your place. The Marquis' Mansion will have no worries."

"Doesn't that mean I have to live the rest of my life in hiding? What is your purpose?" Ling Fan asked.

Seeing Ling Fan unmoved, the man in black lowered his voice, "This is your only chance of survival. Come with me, and soon, I will ensure that you return home in glory and bring honor to your family."

"Why should I trust you?"

Ling Fan took two more steps back, leaning against the fence. "It's unclear, I'm not going anywhere."

The man in black cursed him for being stubborn, took out a token and handed it to him: "Take a good look, whose identification is this?"

There is a Qilin engraved on the token.

Ling Fan was stunned.

The late emperor had five sons: the deceased crown prince, the second prince, Prince of Chu, who was in Chengyang, the third prince, Prince of Qi, who was in Yangzhou, the emperor, and the sixth prince, Prince of Ling, who had not yet reached adulthood and had not yet left the capital.

The only one who could compare himself to the Qilin was the King of Chu.

In other words, all of this was planned by the King of Chu.

He intended to win over the Marquis's Mansion.

The King of Chu was in Chengyang, but he was quietly setting up a plan in the capital.

The purpose is self-evident.

At that moment, Ling Fan's back seemed to be soaked in sweat and his whole body was stiff.

He gripped the token tightly and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu intend to do? The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the Emperor governs well. Could it be...could it be that he has ulterior motives?"

The assassin looked displeased.

In an instant, he restrained Ling Fan's acupuncture points and said in a cold voice, "These are beyond your ability to probe. Cooperate obediently, and the prince will treat you well. If you remain stubborn, you will only dig your own grave."

Before he finished speaking, he was about to take Ling Fan away.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the prison, he saw the Royal Guards surrounding him from both sides and blocking him at the prison door.

The emperor's hair was as black as ink, he was dressed in black clothes, his eyes were sharp, and he sneered, "After so many years, the second brother still covets the throne."

The man in black quickly surveyed his surroundings.

He blocked Ling Fan in front of him and threatened, "I will kill anyone who dares to come close."

The emperor had a blank expression on his face, but a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand lightly and ordered calmly: "Capture him!"

The Royal Guards immediately launched an offensive.

He completely disregarded Ling Fan's life or death.

Seeing that the threat was ineffective, the man in black threw Ling Fan aside and looked for a breakthrough himself.

He was a skilled martial artist and fought the Royal Guards in the narrow passage, resulting in a draw.

The emperor wanted to capture him alive, but the man in black took the opportunity to escape. Even though he was seriously injured, he still fought hard to break out of the encirclement.

The Royal Guards immediately gave chase, but the man in black disappeared into the night.

Jiang Ziling led his men to search inside and outside, but still found no clues. He couldn't help but feel frustrated: "With so many layers of defense, someone still escaped!"

The emperor surveyed his surroundings.

He decisively asserted, "He's seriously injured. If he tries to escape, he'll be captured by the guards in the dark. There's no sound outside, which means he's still in the Dali Temple. Keep searching!"

Jiang Ziling obeyed the order.

The emperor was about to track him down himself when he caught a glimpse of bloodstains in the corner of the wall. As his sight extended, he discovered that there were wet marks on the wall.

Lighting up the fire to illuminate, there was a bloodstain.

The killer in black is so skilled that he can even use the gecko's wall-climbing skills to escape by clinging to the wall.

No wonder there was no blood on the ground and no one was seen.

"Someone come! Chase from this side!"

The emperor followed the blood trail all the way to the backyard of the Dali Temple.

I happened to see the light in the compartment come on.

Shen Muxue is inside!

The ominous premonition in my heart instantly intensified.

He winked at the imperial guards behind him, signaling Jiang Ziling and others to keep their armor down, while he walked towards the wing room.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The emperor knocked on the door and shouted, "Xue'er, it's me."

inside the house.

Shen Muxue was being controlled by the man in black.

The sharp blade was pressed against her neck, and his eyes were as ferocious as a hungry wolf.

"Find a way to get those outside to leave."

With a little more force, Shen Muxue felt a sharp pain in her neck.

Shen Muxue's body tensed up, and she shouted out the door, "What's going on?"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "My servants said you didn't eat much today, so I came to check on you."

Shen Muxue knew that if she let the emperor leave, the murderer would kill her to silence her.

She must find an opportunity to go out in order to have a chance of survival.

"Sir, I'm going to bed now...

Just leave your things at the door."

Pei Yi insisted: "Open the door first."

Shen Muxue glanced at the man in black and said in a low voice, "Staying here might arouse suspicion. Don't worry, the guards are busy looking for you outside. The backyard is quiet. I promise you, I will absolutely obey your arrangements."

The man in black hesitated for a moment.

He gently placed his hand on her waist and pushed her gently: "If you try to play any tricks, I will kill you immediately."

The two walked to the door.
