After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

After a while, a voice came from above. The Chu Emperor said, "Since the autumn hunt, Prince Jin has been poisoned and has never recovered. He doesn't have much energy."

"Seventh Prince, I know you are thinking of me, but I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Luo Hanfeng lowered his head and slowly retreated.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Wen Yan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"What did the emperor say?"

Luo Hanfeng scoffed, "I thought that old man had long harbored suspicions about Prince Jin, but I didn't expect that even with my provocations today, he would remain unmoved."

"I heard that when Prince Jin was imprisoned in the Star-Picking Tower, the Emperor sent imperial physicians to examine him many times, probably to check if Prince Jin was a dying man?"

“If he is a dying man, then there is nothing to fear. What is to be feared is that he is not a dying man at all.”

As Luo Hanfeng spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, everything is ready except for the final touch. I've already made preparations for the three great families. The rest is up to you."

"You'll have to handle Prince Jin's situation alone."

With that, Wen Yan patted Luo Hanfeng on the shoulder and left.

Luo Hanfeng stood there for a long time. Coincidentally, the place he was standing in was the lotus pond where he had met Xie Xingchu.

Xie Xing was hiding under that big tree, preparing to ambush him.

But he overheard her thoughts, and the gears of fate began to turn.

His gaze fell on the tranquil lotus pond, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

If he is the chosen one, Heaven will naturally hand over all advantages to him.

Luo Hanfeng recalled Jun Lanjin's expression after he left that day.

His gaze was deep.

After standing there for a long time, Luo Hanfeng finally turned and left.

The seven-day period arrived as scheduled.

Xie family.

The Xie family mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Even if Gu Yin didn't want to care about the Xie family, she naturally had to attend her own son's wedding.

The princess's wedding procession stretched for miles in red.

Even the street was sprinkled with gold leaf.

Xie Xing disguised himself and stood in the crowd, tiptoeing to look outside.

They saw Xie Tongchen with a cold face, riding his horse with the reins in his hand, with the princess's wedding sedan chair behind him.

Xie Xing sighed: "Alas, it's destined to be another marriage in name only."

Everyone in the Xie family was shocked to hear these words.

They subconsciously began to search for the place where their inner voice resided.

However, with a huge crowd around, and Xie Xing disguised himself, the crowd couldn't see him at all; they could only hear his inner thoughts.

If Luo Hanfeng chooses to act today, what reason could there be? An army needs a just cause; otherwise, it won't be able to gain popular support, and the entire world will raise the banner of rebellion and storm Shengjing.

[Then it will be mountains of corpses and seas of blood again.]

Xie Tongchen gripped the reins tightly.

How did Xie Xing know about today's events?

Luo Hanfeng's decision to make his move today was known to Xie Tongchen and everyone in the Xie family.

They acted according to plan, intending to lure the snake out of its hole.

But Xie Xing... she... isn't dead?!

Xie Tongchen exchanged glances with his two older brothers beside him.

Their eyes met.

They all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Xie Yuhe opened his mouth, then silently said, "Don't alert them."

The wedding procession arrived at the Xie residence.

Caiyue, who was beside Xie Xing, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Miss, let's go back first. There are too many people around."

"Miss, you must not be discovered right now."

Xie Xing naturally knew this as well.

She had obtained Song Qingyang's permission to come out, and there were countless guards watching her from the shadows.

After just one glance, Xie Xing decided to leave with Caiyue.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the two left, several men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded Xie Xing.

Xie Xing: "..."

isn't it?

She was disguised, how could she still be discovered?

Without a word, the men in black lunged straight at Xie Xing.

Fortunately, they failed, and Xie Xing's bodyguards emerged.

To ensure Xie Xing's safety, she also placed many secret guards around him.

As more and more men in black appeared, Xie Xing's bodyguards held them back.

Xie Xing, of course, wasn't going to stand there foolishly waiting for them to come and catch her. She quickly grabbed Caiyue's hand: "Let's go!"

Xie Xing ran towards the Song residence.

However, unexpectedly, assassins also entered the Song residence at this time.

Xie Xing's eyes instantly turned red.

Amidst the clash of swords within the Song residence, Xie Xing, without a second thought, released Caiyue's hand and rushed into the Song residence.

Before leaving, Xie Xingchong said to Caiyue, "Their target is me. Don't stay with me. Find a place and run away quickly!"

"Miss!"

The sound of Caiyue crying came from behind.

Xie Xing didn't even turn his head.

She had to rescue Song's parents, otherwise she would feel guilty towards the original owner of the body and also betray her own conscience.

Perhaps the original owner also sensed that Song's parents were in danger, because the heart in this body was beating very fast, thumping as if it was about to jump out of the chest.

"Miss, why are you here?"

"Miss!"

"Let's go!"

Xie Xing did not listen to a word.

What about people?

Where have people gone?

Xie Xing anxiously searched his surroundings for the figures of Song's father and mother.

found it!

Suddenly, Xie Xing's eyes lit up.

She spotted Mr. and Mrs. Song in the lobby; the two were being protected by guards, their faces pale with fright.

Without a second thought, Xie Xing rushed to the front.

Her arrival drew the attention of all the men in black to Xie Xing.

Xie Xing quickly raised the whistle around his neck, put it to his lips, and started blowing.

A whistle rang out, and all the secret guards that the Gu family had previously assigned to Xie Xing were mobilized and blocked the way for these people.

"Father, mother!"

Xie Xing took the opportunity to go to Song's parents' side.

None of the Song family's three sons were home today; only Mr. and Mrs. Song were present. If she were to arrive late, if…

Xie Xing's muscles were trembling.

She took Song's mother's hand and said, "Mother, come with me quickly."

Song's mother cried, "Xing'er, what are you doing here!"

The two elderly people ran with Xie Xing. There was a secret passage in the Song family's house. Xie Xing had his guards block it, and after they ran away, he would catch up with them.

With so many men in black at the Song residence, even if Xie Xing had many bodyguards, they couldn't kill them all.

In the past few days, Song Qingyang has told Xie Xing about the secret passage in the Song residence, so that they can escape through this passage if they encounter any danger.

Xie Xing dared not delay for even a moment.

Perhaps it was the skill of the guards that prevented any pursuers from closing in.

Xie Xing successfully led the two elderly members of the Song family out of the mansion. Just as he was about to lead them away from the city gate, he saw from afar that the city gate was closed and heavily guarded by soldiers inside.

Xie Xing's palms were sweaty.

After thinking for a moment, she led Mr. and Mrs. Song into one of her shops.

This used to be Xie family property, but now it belongs to Xie Xing.

"Fifth Miss!" The people in the shop were shocked to see Xie Xing.

Wasn't the Fifth Miss dead?
