Chapter 34
"What nonsense are you talking about? My lady is the daughter of King Zhuo!"

"What's your lady's name?"

"You don't care what my lady's name is." The maid said angrily, she had never seen anyone who dared to slander her lady like this.

Ye Zhaoyan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, looked at the maidservant and said, "Could it be that her surname is not Zhuo?"

"My lady, Zhuo Tianxin, is the only daughter of the Zhuo Palace!" the maid raised her chin arrogantly and said while looking at Ye Zhaoyan.

"Zhuo Tianxin? I haven't heard of it. Could it be from the outside room?"

"How could the lady come from the outside room!" the maid shouted to Ye Zhaoyan excitedly.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhuo Tianxin's face, and his eyes dodged.

She stretched out her hand to pull the maidservant, and scolded in a low voice: "Green comb!"

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help being a little funny when he saw the maidservant's distraught look.

She looked at Zhuo Tianxin and asked softly, "Are you really the daughter of King Zhuo?"

Zhuo Tianxin looked at Ye Zhaoyan warily.

"Whether I am the daughter of King Zhuo has nothing to do with you. Please leave immediately and don't disturb our palace."

She stretched out her hand, pointed to the direction outside the door, and signaled Ye Zhaoyan to leave quickly.

She doesn't want to admit her identity.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing the girl's identity in his mind.

The girl looked young, only twelve or thirteen years old.She was dressed in purple, her face was exquisite and gorgeous, her temperament was elegant and outstanding, and she looked very noble.

Such a girl is by no means the daughter of an ordinary nobleman, and her life experience is definitely not simple.

Zhuo Wang's daughter?
A past event slowly emerged in his mind.

In my memory, the woman burst into tears, crying and chasing after the chariot gifted by King Zhuo.

Ye Zhaoyan was a little unsure.

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan had no intention of leaving, Zhuo Tianxin's eyes became more vigilant.

"If you don't leave, I will send someone to report to the police to arrest you!" Zhuo Tianxin threatened Ye Zhaoyan.

Ye Zhaoyan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, his eyes were dangerous and cold.

Seeing this, the guards behind Zhuo Tianxin immediately drew out their long swords, pointing the blade at Ye Zhaoyan's throat.

A sneer flashed across Ye Zhaoyan's face, and she patted the sleeve robe lightly, shaking off the dust on the sleeves.

She looked at those swords pointing at her long sword, and said in a calm tone: "There is no need to report to the police, young lady, you should go back and save the young master quickly, he is too seriously injured, and we can't delay any longer."

Ye Zhaoyan said, turned and walked outside.

She didn't want to continue wasting time on this little episode.

After all, she is a person who is "on the run".

Seeing this, Zhuo Tianxin's expression darkened instantly, and he ordered his servants to close the gate.

Ye Zhaoyan walked down the long stairs and was just about to leave when there was a noise on the deserted street.

I saw a group of people pouring in at the corner ahead, all soldiers in armor.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a swollen face and wide-open eyes, a bit scary in the dark night.

She hurriedly hid behind the stone lion, and just as she stabilized her figure, there was a dull "dong" behind her, and the gate of Zhuo Wang's Mansion was quickly closed.

The meaning of this Miss Zhuofu is very clear, she is absolutely unwilling to take in a "suspicious" person like her.

The sound of approaching footsteps could be heard.

Ye Zhaoyan looked up, and the man was followed by a thin old man in his forties.

It was the second butler Xue.

The young soldier beside Steward Xue walked up to the group of people and reported in a low voice: "Butler Xue, two teams of troops have come to the east alley. They don't seem to be private soldiers. They have already blocked the entire alley. People are in a dilemma."

Hearing this, Second Steward Xue frowned, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Butler Xue, what should we do?" asked the middle-aged man on the other side.

Steward Xue looked at the soldier and said, "Send a group of people to investigate the situation first, and the rest of the people will stay here. Disperse a few people and go to each intersection to guard them!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man replied, and led a group of soldiers into the east alley to check for news.

Butler Xue Er watched the group of soldiers disappear at the end of the east alley, and the expression on his face became more dignified.

He was very cautious along the way, for fear that others would find his way.

It's a pity that today he still couldn't avoid colliding with other passers-by.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyes and scanned the left and right, only to find the sound of footsteps not far away.

There was a slight curve on the corner of her lips, and a sly look appeared in her eyes.

She stepped up to the entrance of the alley and jumped into the wall from one side.

Ye Zhaoyan's body nimbly turned around in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

Hearing the sound, the group of people turned their heads to look at the alley, but only saw the corner of Ye Zhaoyan's clothes, and hurriedly chased after him.

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes froze, and he quickly stepped back.

Her body bounced into the air on the wall, then turned around and flew away.

With a sensitive posture, he easily climbed over the wall and fell into another alley.

There are houses on both sides of the alley, and rows of tall roofs enclose the whole alley airtight.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his foot to step on the eaves, jumped up the ridge lightly, and climbed all the way up.

Her martial arts are excellent, and her physical fitness has always been good, but at this moment her injuries are somewhat restricting her hands and feet.

All the way up to the roof, Ye Zhaoyan stopped climbing.

She stood on the eaves, overlooking the scene below.

There are several patrol soldiers on both sides of the alley.

She hurriedly stepped lightly in the opposite direction.

"Who is it?" A captain shouted when he heard the sound of rubble colliding.

"Don't be so sensitive, there are no ghosts in the middle of the night, maybe it's a wild cat."

The captain was teased by the soldiers, and somewhat unwillingly raised his head and glanced around for a while.

There seemed to be a black shadow floating in the blink of an eye, and he looked there again, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "It's there!"

Ye Zhaoyan paused, looked around, and finally fixed on the yard at the other end of the alley. She jumped and swept towards the yard.

The corner of the yard looked gorgeous and noble, and the railings on the edge of the wall looked familiar. Before she had time to think about it, she flew towards the top of the wall.

Ye Zhaoyan was as nimble as a swallow, gliding across the yard in the dark.

She landed on the roof, stepping lightly on the rubble.

The yard was quiet, Ye Zhaoyan walked to the edge of the roof, looked around, and finally focused on the center of the yard, near the porch.

There are no guards around.

God help me too.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she jumped from the roof and slid onto the lawn in the yard.

As soon as she landed, she found a man in a white gown standing under the eaves.

The man in the white shirt was tall and slender, with a handsome figure, and a head of black and smooth hair hanging down his shoulders.

The man stood with his back to Ye Zhaoyan, and he didn't seem to notice that Ye Zhaoyan entered the courtyard.

Ye Zhaoyan was going to bypass him and leave.

"Stop, who are you?" The man in the white gown suddenly turned around, looking at Ye Zhaoyan coldly with his dark eyes.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard his cold voice, his body froze slightly, and his footsteps stopped in place.

This man is tall and has a steady breath. He can be seen as Lian Jiazi at a glance.
