Half an hour later.
Xiao Yuxi stopped, and Jialing's life was safe from now on.
Her brows were full of fatigue, and she turned around and left: "Go, don't let me down."
Feng Zili looked at Xiao Yuxi's leaving figures and called out: "Master."
Xiao Yuxi stopped and said, "Say."
Feng Zili thought for a moment and said, "If I asked you the question again when we were in Yuzhou a few days ago, would you still give the same answer?"
Before Xiao Yuxi could respond, Feng Zili asked directly: "Are you willing to let go of those mission mates who have deep feelings for you?"
When Xiao Yuxi heard this, his fingers under his sleeves curled up slightly.
Feng Zili asked again: "No matter who blocks your way, you will not show mercy, right?"
Xiao Yuxi closed his eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with indifference: "You don't have to test me, I know the path I should take."
After she said that, she walked away in a hurry.
Feng Zili murmured: "But Master, you no longer dare to answer."
That night.
Feng Zili had already left Siyi Pavilion with Jialing.
On the roof of the inner courtyard, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou watched the stars and the moon.
Ren Ruyi leaned in Ning Yuanzhou's arms: "I want the silver saddle to shine on the white horse, and I want to fly like a shooting star."
"I want to run, I want to laugh, I want to fly, wherever I want to go."
In the room.
Genroku held a stack of organized papers in his hand.
The paper is covered with various runes and patterns written by Xiao Yuxi.
Yuanlu fell asleep after watching it for a while.
Yang Ying, who was sitting next to him, pushed him from time to time: "Yuanlu, wake up, I told Xi that you must write these down."
Yuanlu rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "Your Highness, it's already midnight."
"I really can't bear it any more. I'd better not remember it until tomorrow!"
Yang Ying was also infected and yawned.
She was quite puzzled: "But, Yu Xi asked me to keep an eye on you, but she only gave you three days."
Yuan Lu lay weakly on the table: "If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, how will Sister Yu Xi know?"
"Really?" Xiao Yuxi's voice echoed in the air.
Yuanlu was excited and quickly sat up straight.
He picked up the papers again and read them attentively.
Yang Ying looked at Yuan Lu, her eyes full of sympathy.
She held her chin with one hand and commented aloud: "I thought Sister Ruyi was too harsh in teaching before, but I didn't expect that compared with Xi, she is really as generous as she is!"
above the roof.
A man wearing night clothes climbed over the wall.
He stood firm and saw Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou as soon as he turned around.
It was obvious that both parties were confused.
A smile flashed in the eyes of Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi.
This was the first time they saw an assassin who came to their door on their own initiative.
Ren Ruyi sat still.
Ning Yuanzhou stood up and attacked the person with his bare hands.
The assassin immediately dodged and tore off the black cloth covering his face: "Master, it's me."
Ning Yuanzhou stopped.
Ren Ruyi stood up and put his hands behind his back: "Jiu'er, what are you doing here?"
Li Tongguang turned to look at Ning Yuanzhou: "Didn't we talk about cooperation?"
Ren Ruyi frowned: "Didn't I mean tomorrow?"
Li Tongguang's eyes dodge a little.
Ning Yuanzhou said angrily: "If you don't come during the day, come at night, and if you don't go through the main entrance, you can climb over the wall. Tell me you are here to discuss cooperation?"
Li Tongguang said in a tough tone: "I'm here anyway, do you want to talk about it or not?"
Ren Ruyi looked at Li Tongguang's condition, noticed his frizzy hair, and asked, "Did you just wake up?"
Ning Yuanzhou smiled and shook his head, and answered the question inappropriately: "You ran to the wrong place. The second lady doesn't live here."
Li Tongguang was struck in his mind, so he simply broke the jar and asked, "Where is she?"
Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
After a while.
The hall of Siyi Pavilion is brightly lit.
Around an empty chessboard, Xiao Yuxi, Li Tongguang, Ren Ruyi, and Ning Yuanzhou were seated on all sides.
Ren Ruyi was the first to land a black stone on the chessboard, and she said solemnly: "The eldest prince, King Hedong, must die."
Ning Yuanzhou took out a sunspot and placed it next to Ren Ruyi's sunspot: "It's just that his death was diverted to the east and was carried by the second prince, King Luoxi."
Li Tongguang pushed aside the two black stones and landed a white stone between them: "So, before the eldest prince dies, we need to create a drama of internal fighting among the princes."
Xiao and Xi held white pieces in their hands and placed them in the corner of the chessboard: "Brothers are at war with each other and two sons are fighting each other. If you want to stir up disputes, you need a fuse."
Ren Ruyi replied: "The eldest prince's father-in-law, Wang Guogong is very suitable."
After some discussion.
Ren Ruyi decided to pretend to be a dancer from Xisai and poison Wang Guogong during the banquet.
Later, she disguised herself as a confidant of the eldest prince, misled the eldest prince to be suspicious of the second prince, and then used the dragon robe to frame the second prince.
At the same time, Li Tongguang pretended to remind the second prince.
The two princes came before Emperor An, and the eldest prince was discovered instead of being framed. In order to protect himself, he could only retreat to his own power in the central part of the sand.
As long as the eldest prince leaves Andu and goes to the middle of the sand, it will be the day he dies.
When Ren Ruyi killed the eldest prince, he only had to say a misleading sentence to show that he was following the second prince's orders, and then pretend to accidentally leave someone alive.
The living person will naturally blame the death of the eldest prince on the second prince's head, thus making the trouble known to everyone in Andu.
Ren Ruyi picked up the sunspot she dropped and crushed it to pieces with her fingertips.
Ning Yuanzhou suggested that he would accompany Ren Ruyi to this banquet.
Ren Ruyi refused: "People are looking at you. Revenge is my business. You have your own things to be busy with, so don't worry about me."
Xiao Yuxi suddenly said: "I will go with you."
Ren Ruyi was startled, as if he didn't expect that Xiao Yuxi, a person who always liked to hide and relax, would actually have the time to come forward.
She asked back: "You?"
Xiao Yuxi nodded: "When Queen Zhaojie was alive, I was also favored by her, so I have to do something about it."
"What's more, since you are already dancing, how can I not sing a song for you?"
Ning Yuanzhou looked puzzled: "Is Queen Zhaojie kind to the second lady?"
Xiao Yuxi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ren Ruyi and Li Tongguang both laughed.
Li Tongguang glanced at Xiao Yuxi, with a soft smile in his eyes: "Some people who dress up as men are so eye-catching that they are attracted by the powerful officials and noble ladies of Andu."
"That noble girl is also true-hearted. Regardless of her origin, she will marry someone even if she wants to live and die."
"But some people are so powerless that they can only speak nonsense in front of the Holy One, claiming that they only want to please my master and would rather die than change."
"The Holy One ordered that certain people be sent to prison together with my master. Queen Zhaojie also rescued certain people in order to save my master."
It is self-evident who certain people in these words are referring to.
After listening to Li Tongguang's words, Ning Yuanzhou looked at Xiao Yuxi as if he were a stranger.
He took a breath of air: "Hiss, this is a bit too wicked, isn't it?"
Xiao Yuxi pretended not to understand. She coughed twice and said, "Tonight is the banquet at the Zhenwu General's Mansion. Guild Wang will go."
"Before that, the amount of poison and the identity of the Cisse Dance Troupe must be arranged as soon as possible."
"It's almost dawn. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. It's better to rest early!"
As she spoke, she stood up and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Li Tongguang quickly stood up and followed.
Outside the hall.
The color of dawn is getting darker on the horizon.
Xiao Yuxi and Li Tongguang walked down the corridor one after another.
The first ray of sunshine from the east passed through the thick clouds and fell on the two of them through the gaps in the inner long corridor.
Peaceful and beautiful.
Xiao Yuxi looked back at Li Tongguang, and the faint light painted a golden outline for him.
She suddenly smiled and said, "Li Tongguang, you are really walking with the light now."
Li Tongguang was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the golden spots falling on his body and around him, and then understood what Xiao Yuxi meant.
However, for him, Xiao Yuxi's looking back is the light that truly belongs to him.
At this moment, he looked at Xiao Yuxi sincerely and replied: "Well, I am walking with the light."
