Yin Zijing looked left and right, tried many times, but the purple glass beads lay quietly in her hand like an inanimate object, emitting a pale purple light under the dim light. They were of no use and could not take Yin Zijing back to the modern world.

Yin Zijing sighed, put the purple glass beads back on his wrist, and thought, "Let's leave it like this for now! Who knows, if I trigger some mechanism later, I might end up back in the modern world." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Just then, a slight noise came from outside the door. Yin Zijing stood up alertly, walked to the door, pushed it open, and looked out.

A dark shadow flashed by and disappeared behind the fence. A strange feeling welled up in Yin Zijing's heart. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. After all, it was so late; why would anyone be here?

At this moment, Yin Zijing's heart was pounding. He felt a strange tension and unease, after all, he had just experienced a fierce battle. He shook his head vigorously, trying to calm himself down, but that strange feeling lingered in his mind.

He decided to stop thinking about it, turned around and went back inside, quickly closing the door behind him. However, as soon as he closed the door, the feeling of unease did not lessen; instead, it became even stronger.

He stood there, panting heavily, trying to calm his unease. He told himself it was just a hallucination, or perhaps just a night owl. But no matter what, he couldn't shake off that strange feeling.

Yin Zijing took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He decided not to think about the dark figure, but the emptiness around him and the endless darkness made him even more terrified…

………………

In a private room on the second floor of the Tongyuan Teahouse in the capital city, a young man wearing a black bamboo hat sat calmly by the window, gazing at the bustling street scene outside.

Beside him sat a man in fine clothes, and the two were talking in hushed tones. The man wearing a straw hat picked up an exquisite white porcelain teapot, gently lifted the lid, and the aroma of steaming tea filled the air.

He gracefully poured the tea into a cup and then personally handed it to the elegantly dressed man beside him. The man nodded slightly in thanks, took the cup, sipped it, and then put it down.

The man in the straw hat spoke softly, "The matter has been settled; His Highness the Crown Prince is injured."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "That poison is extremely potent; if you get even a tiny bit on it, it's very difficult to survive."

A flicker of satisfaction crossed the richly dressed man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at the man in the bamboo hat and said slowly, "As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is dead, I will fulfill our promise. After it's done, I will give you what you desire..."

The man in the straw hat remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded. The man in the fine clothes stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the door.

As he reached the door, he stopped, turned back to look at the man in the straw hat, and a complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

Then, he pushed open the door and left, leaving the man in the straw hat alone in the room. The man in the straw hat gently stroked the delicate white porcelain teacup in his hand, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his lips: "What I want, I will obtain at any cost..."

Inside Fu'an Temple, Yin Zijing leaned against the doorway, her mind increasingly unsettled, feeling a sense of unease that something was about to happen. She quickly called out, "Shen Lu, is Shen Lu here?"

Yin Zijing called for a long time before Shen Lu finally appeared outside the door: "What's wrong, Sixth Miss?"

Yin Zijing opened the door and saw Shen Lu, who was already dressed neatly and cleanly.

Shen Lu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I changed my clothes because I was afraid of offending the young lady."

Before Yin Zijing could say anything, she grabbed a lamp from the house and hurriedly went out, saying as she went, "Take me to His Highness the Crown Prince. I just vaguely saw a sneaky figure. I need to tell His Highness the Crown Prince first that these people are cruel and bloodthirsty. They shouldn't be targeting me, but it's strange that someone is watching me."

Also, send me to His Highness the Crown Prince. You should personally go back to the Yin residence and ask your third uncle to come over. Your third uncle is a highly skilled physician, and I would like to ask him to personally treat His Highness the Crown Prince, just in case.

If this group is after the Crown Prince, Liu Jun isn't safe either. Since you're not one of the Crown Prince's men, no one should be paying attention.
