Under the inner corridor.
Ning Yuanzhou stopped Ren Ruyi: "Ruyi, are you just leaving like that?"
"You are going to Zhu Yiwei's headquarters, and I am going to save the Holy Lord. In the storybook, this can be regarded as a separation between life and death!"
"You're afraid that you won't be able to see the second lady again. You want to confirm with her. You just say "You're leaving" to me, and you really leave?"
Ren Ruyi's tone was hesitant: "But I used to be like this every time I went out."
Ning Yuanzhou: "It was the past, can it be the same now?"
Ren Ruyi said "Oh" with a cute expression: "I know, what do you want me to say goodbye to you?"
Ning Yuanzhou murmured in a low voice: "If you ask me to say it, what's the point?"
"Why are you so awkward!" Ren Ruyi smiled and took Ning Yuanzhou's hand: "Anyway, I will come back safely, and you will rescue Emperor Wu. Then we will meet at the agreed place."
Ning Yuanzhou smiled and said, "That's pretty much it."
The two talked for a while, and Ning Yuanzhou left the Siyi Pavilion with Ren Ruyi.
He forged a sword for Ren Ruyi and sharpened it with his own blood.
Ren Ruyi named it: Hongchen.
Twelve hours passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was another day and night.
This night was destined not to be peaceful.
Ning Yuanzhou and others have already gone to the East Lake Cottage.
On the other side, Ren Ruyi broke into Zhu Yiwei's headquarters alone.
She pretended to be exhausted and defeated, so she was carried into the palace on a stretcher and went to Emperor An.
Siyi Pavilion.
Yang Ying is ready.
When Du Changshi was packing his luggage, he was discovered by Zhu Yiwei who sneaked in.
He wanted to stop Zhu Yiwei from reporting the news, but he couldn't do anything about that person.
The two were dragged from the room to the door.
Xiao Yuxi suddenly appeared out of thin air and casually took the life of Zhu Yiwei.
Yang Ying ran over from a short distance with a group of guards.
She glanced at Zhu Yiwei's body and quickly stepped forward to help Du Changshi up: "Master Du, are you okay?"
Du Changshi shook his head: "This person noticed our actions. Fortunately, the second lady arrived in time."
At this moment, fireworks exploded in the eastern horizon.
This was a signal from Ning Yuanzhou and others, indicating that they had rescued Emperor Wu.
Yang Ying raised her head and looked at the horizon: "Brother Yuanzhou said that after the fireworks report, we should rush to the city gate within half an hour."
Du Changshi looked at the guard behind Yang Ying and asked urgently: "Is the carriage ready?"
The leading guard looked embarrassed.
He looked at Xiao Yuxi, cupped his hands and said, "Second Miss has told me not to prepare a carriage."
Du Changshi turned to look at Xiao Yuxi: "Second Miss, this..."
Xiao Yuxi smiled and said, "There's still half an hour, don't be in a hurry."
After she said that, she stepped aside and said, "Your Highness, come with me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Du, Gu believes in her." Yang Ying comforted Du Changshi and quickly followed Xiao Yuxi's pace.
They were farther away from the crowd.
Yang Ying called out: "Yu Xi."
Xiao Yuxi turned to face her: "Your Highness, have you thought about how to deal with yourself when you return to Wudu this time?"
Yang Ying looked sad: "Before departure, the emperor's sister-in-law promised me that after welcoming the emperor back to the capital, I will have three thousand food towns."
Xiao Yuxi: "Even if you have three thousand food, you will have more money in the future, but you are still a princess locked in a deep palace."
Yang Ying smiled bitterly: "Yes."
Xiao and Ximeifeng raised their eyebrows: "Are you willing?"
Yang Ying lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Yuxi continued: "Your Highness, Master Du has sincerely surrendered to you along the way, and the people of Liudao Hall will also listen to your orders."
"Mr. Du has a deep understanding of the relationship between the DPRK and China in Wu State, and the news affairs at home and abroad in Wu State are also under the control of Liudaotang."
"As the envoy to welcome the emperor, His Highness has made great achievements during this trip."
"Why don't you make use of all these things to seek for the title of an eldest princess who can open a palace outside the palace and have a voice in the court?"
Yang Ying shook her head: "After the emperor returns to China, which one of these people is easy to get along with, brother Danyang, the emperor's sister-in-law, and Prime Minister Zhang?"
"I have gained a lot of knowledge, but when it comes to competing with them for power and profit, I really..."
Xiao Yuxi interrupted: "Emperor Wu has lost his virtue. Whether he can return to Wu safely is still a matter of debate."
"My sister is about to give birth. With King Danyang and Zhang Song watching her, if she wants her youngest son to ascend the throne, she must support her own power."
Yang Ying heard the implication of Xiao Yuxi's words.
She frowned in confusion: "But aren't you the most reliable force behind the emperor's wife?"
Xiao Yuxi was silent for a long time and replied: "In the future, that person will be you."
"Compared to the second Miss Xiao who lives in the shadows, she is also the legitimate eldest princess of Li City, so she can help my sister more."
Yang Ying panicked, and she reached out and grabbed Xiao Yuxi's sleeves: "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you going back with me?"
Xiao Yuxi did not answer this question.
She took out a dagger from her arms and handed it to Yang Ying: "This blade is called Rebirth. Your Highness only needs to take this to the Xiao Mansion, and someone will come to find you."
“Those people will also be your backing in the future.”
"The situation in Wu State can be expected. The Queen Mother is in charge of the affairs behind the curtain, and the eldest princess, King Danyang, and Zhang Song are the three pillars."
"It's just that the position of the eldest princess is difficult. Your Highness must learn and listen from Lord Du."
"I am here to use this blade to wish Your Highness a bright future and a bright future."
Yang Ying pushed the dagger away from Xiao Yuxi's hand. Her eyes were red and she was already crying: "So, you are leaving. You promised to protect me all the time!"
Xiao Yuxi smiled and said, "The trip to Anguo is coming to an end. Isn't this considered a broken promise?"
As she spoke, she took Yang Ying's wrist and put the dagger into Yang Ying's hand: "Your Highness, you were raised from a bird in a cage to an eagle, and you can no longer go back."
"You must have an idea of how to go next."
Yang Ying held the dagger tightly with one hand and stubbornly grabbed Xiao Yuxi's sleeve with the other: "What about you? Where are you going?"
Xiao Yuxi asked instead, "Your Highness, are you afraid of the dark?"
Yang Ying seemed not to have expected that the topic of Xiao and Xi would jump so much.
She was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "I was afraid before, but I'm not afraid anymore."
Xiao Yuxi smiled and said, "That's good."
The next second, the world was spinning.
Yang Ying's eyes darkened.
Just a few seconds later, when she saw her surroundings clearly, she found that she had arrived outside Andu City.
The weeds are growing everywhere, and the cold wind is blowing.
Du Changshi and a group of guards who were not far away had a blank look on their faces when they rushed to Yang Ying's side.
The guards were talking a lot.
"Is this outside the city?"
"What's going on? Are we leaving the city now?"
"..."
The only figure was Xiao Yuxi, who had long since disappeared.
