"Besides, when 0980 and Zhuo Fang were in danger, I risked my life to save them. Isn't that enough for you to trust me?"

At the end of her speech, Yun Shang's tone unconsciously became heavier, as if she was somewhat dissatisfied with the man's distrust.

The man nodded expressionlessly and said in a flat tone, "You can call me Mr. Jiu like everyone else."

At this time, Yun Shang had already eaten and drunk her fill. She was seen sitting lazily on the chair, her body slightly leaning back, then gently leaning on the back of the chair.

Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed at this moment, as comfortable as a satisfied cat.

After a brief pause, Yun Shang slowly spoke, "Mr. Jiu, may I ask if you have a place for me to rest and sleep? I'm really tired and just want to find a quiet place to rest for a while."

"In fact, I came here willingly to let you capture me. Zhao Qiyan is a suspicious person, and it's not easy to live with him. My life has been very difficult. Now that I'm in your hands, I have no intention of returning."

Yun Shang then added, "Please send someone to inform Zhao Qiyan that I have died. That way, from now on, I can change my identity and start a new life."

However, Mr. Jiu simply snorted coldly, a disdainful smile on his face, and said sarcastically: "How can it be so simple? As the Princess of Qi, you are of great use to us!"

Yun Shang was fully aware of the profound meaning behind Mr. Jiu's words.

She knew very well that these people's purpose was nothing more than to use her relationship with Zhao Qiyan to gain benefits and achieve their ulterior motives.

She thought about it and nodded, "It's okay, I can cooperate, but you have to promise me that after the matter is completed, you will give me a new identity and let me start my life anew."

Looking at Yun Shang in front of him, Mr. Jiu secretly observed her every move.

Yun Shang had a determined look on her face, staring straight ahead without dodging, as if she had no intention of staying at the Prince of Qi's Palace.

This resolute demeanor made Mr. Jiu feel a little doubtful, but he didn't show it too much. He just nodded slightly and said in agreement, "Okay, no problem."

After getting permission, Yun Shang slowly stood up, moving gracefully and calmly, and walked towards the door.

At the same time, she continued to explain the follow-up matters: "Then please arrange a room for me. I'll stay here for the time being. As for when you will start peace talks with the King of Qi, and what your specific plans are, remember to let me know. Otherwise, if you accidentally say the wrong thing and it gets exposed, it will be very bad."

Hearing Yun Shang's clear and coherent words, Mr. Jiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied, "Of course."

Then, he turned to look at the person who had just entered and instructed him, "Take her to Qingmei Garden to rest. Let her stay there temporarily for the time being."

At this moment, the person who walked in was 8091. He had already taken off the scarf covering his face, revealing a resolute and upright face.

When he heard Mr. Jiu's order, he couldn't help but frown and said with confusion, "Mr. Jiu, how can you let this woman live in such a beautiful courtyard? You know, she's our hostage! Just find a place to feed her, as long as she doesn't starve to death."

Mr. Jiu sighed deeply, a trace of helplessness and regret on his face. He slowly said, "Actually, Yun Shang's true identity is not as simple as we thought. She is also a time traveler, from a different era like us. We really have arrested the wrong person this time. She is not our enemy at all."

Hearing this, 8091's eyes widened, his face filled with suspicion. He asked in disbelief, "What? This woman is actually a time traveler? Impossible! I've been observing her carefully along the way, but how come I didn't see any clues?"

Indeed, along the way, 8091 always remained highly vigilant towards Yun Shang, not missing any details, but he did not notice anything unusual.

You can imagine the shock in my heart when I heard the truth at this moment.

At this moment, Yun Shang raised her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and gently waved towards 8091, saying in a sweet voice: "Hello, Alpha 8091~"

The tone was relaxed and natural, as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Then she added, "Now we have to get to know each other again. After all, we are all time travelers. We are family!"

"Oh, by the way, where is my maid, Qinghuan? She can't die. It's all thanks to her that I can hide my identity."

Yun Shang pretended to be relaxed, but she was actually very nervous, afraid that these people would kill Qing Huan.

Fortunately, 8091 stared at Yun Shang for a long time, and finally confirmed her identity as a time traveler from her extremely modern way of greeting.

He said stiffly, "That girl was captured incidentally and is now locked up in the woodshed in the backyard. She won't starve to death."

Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, that's good. There's no need for her to meet me for now, but when I leave, she must go with me."

Mr. Jiu didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just asked 8091 to take her to rest first.

Although 8091's face was still a little ugly and he hadn't fully accepted this fact in his heart, he could only lead Yun Shang out obediently.

The two of them walked through a winding path, around a clear, sparkling lake, and soon came to a courtyard filled with fragrance.

As soon as you step into the courtyard, a faint and elegant fragrance of plum blossoms hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.

The courtyard is filled with plum trees of various colors, red like fire, white like snow, and pink like clouds, which complement each other and are beautiful beyond words.

Along the way, Yunchang was like a curious kitten, her big, lively eyes looking around constantly.

What appeared before our eyes was a grand and majestic mansion with five courtyards.

The owner of this house obviously has great taste. Every flower, every tree, and even the scenery you see with every step you take in the house seem to have been carefully carved and designed by skilled craftsmen.

Rather than being a place for people to live, it would be more accurate to say that this is a unique villa built specifically for hosting grand banquets.
