The eldest lady is soft and soft, but the surly prince dotes on her openly and secretly.

Chapter 22 Hell
"Believe me, this place is more dangerous than any place you have been before. Stay safe, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

Looking at her sincere and warning eyes, Yu Jinhe swallowed his doubts and nodded.

Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door. The woman froze and without saying a word, she stuffed Yu Jinhe into the pile of firewood. Before leaving, she did not forget to raise a finger to the person in the dark and secretly The warning was, "Don't make any sound."

Although Yu Jinhe couldn't figure out the situation, he still nodded.

The woman tidied the pile of firewood and quickly ran over to open the door.

A gloomy voice came from the other side of the door, "What are you doing in there with the door closed?"

"I'm a little hungry, let's see if there's anything delicious in the kitchen."

The man sneered, "Oh? You closed the door and looked for food? Are you so shady? Get out of here!"

As soon as the voice fell, Yu Jinhe heard a crisp slap. The woman let out a soft cry, fell to the ground, and subconsciously looked in Yu Jinhe's direction.

The man broke in with several people and said, "Search for me."

The woman asked nervously, "Brother Li, what happened?"

"Are you hiding someone in there?" Brother Li grabbed her chin.

"I, how can I have the courage? Brother Li, are you kidding me?"

"No? The people from Prince Jing's Mansion came over and said that they lost someone in our place! You'd better not let me find him, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences. If you hide someone, tell me now, and I can barely keep you alive. Life."

Yu Jinhe couldn't help but breathe a little lighter. Judging from the man's behavior, what the woman said was probably correct. This is hell.

If the woman is so afraid of the so-called 'Brother Li', will she still insist on helping her?
She has nothing on hand right now.

The woman did not keep Yu Jinhe waiting for too long. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, there is no one here!"

Yu Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, someone opened the pile of firewood that covered him. The boy was slightly startled when he saw someone inside.

Yu Jinhe raised his fingers in front of his lips and tried to use illusion, "Don't say anything."

The boy was stunned for a moment, his pupils seemed to be dilated for a moment, and then he responded blankly, "Okay..."

Yu Jinhe's cultivation level has not recovered, and he usually needs tools to use the simplest illusions. He didn't expect that he succeeded today.

The boy put down the pile of firewood again and covered her tightly.

The women didn't dare to look here. They only dared to secretly stare at this side with the corner of their eyes. When they saw that the boy didn't make a sound, they didn't dare to show surprise.

Brother Li clapped his hands when he saw that the search was almost done, "Have you finished searching? Have you seen anyone?"

The boys all replied, "There is no one here!"

The woman laughed dryly twice, and then she realized that she was covered in cold sweat. "Look, Brother Li, I'm not wrong. There is really no one here. How dare I lie to you."

Brother Li snorted twice and looked at her from beginning to end, "Then why are you still here? There are guests outside asking for you, why don't you hurry out."

"Yes, yes." The woman smiled and waited for the man to walk out first. She glanced in Yu Jinhe's direction again uneasily, pursed her lips, and left with a heavy heart.Hearing the door creaking shut, Yu Jinhe did not let down his guard at all. Within a moment, he heard the sound of the door opening again. Looking out through the gap in the pile of firewood, he saw that it was Brother Li who did not believe in evil and was confirmed to have returned!
Yu Jinhe felt strange and doubtful. What was the reason why he had to have such strict control over a brothel?
Yu Jinhe was not familiar with the place here. According to what the woman just said, he didn't know if there was a secret door here. That guy Gu Jingming was still looking for him, so he should wait for the woman to come to her before making a decision.

After waiting for a long time, no one came, but Duke Zhou arrived first. Yu Jinhe folded her arms and took a nap. She did not dare to sleep too deeply, and opened her eyes immediately when she heard the sound of the door opening.

She glanced outside and saw that it was getting dark, so she couldn't see clearly who was coming.

The woman shouted softly, "It's me."

Yu Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief, pushed aside the pile of firewood and walked out, "You're here."

The woman raised her finger in front of her lips, "You may not be able to leave tonight. King Jing has booked the brothel, and now everyone outside is guarded by the palace."

Yu Jinhe couldn't help but cursed secretly.

"Come, come over and have something to eat first." The woman called her to the table, "Don't light the lamp, otherwise you will be easily discovered."

As she spoke, she handed an oil paper bag to Yu Jinhe.

As soon as Yu Jinhe opened it, he smelled a faint scent of glutinous rice. It was a rice dumpling.

Yu Jinhe sat at the table, holding a rice dumpling and eating it.

"I heard that a thief ran away from Prince Jing's Mansion and stole many treasures from the Prince's Mansion. Is it you?"

It would be too embarrassing for Prince Jing's Mansion to say that the princess ran away.Yu Jinhe chuckled, "No, don't worry, you just need to tell me how to get out of here, and I will figure out the rest myself."

"Today is not possible. It will be tomorrow at the earliest. You can just make do with it here for one night. But I am still curious. That person obviously saw you today. Why did he say that he didn't find anyone? Do you know him?"

Yu Jinhe smiled slyly, "I just used some small tricks, but I didn't expect it to work. By the way, what's your name? You helped me after all. I can't even know the name of my benefactor."

"My name is Ayan."

"Ayan, just call me Ajin." Yu Jinhe smiled, "By the way, tell me what is going on here, maybe I can help you."

Ayan's smile suddenly faded, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. The trouble here is not something that a little girl like you can handle."

Yu Jinhe blinked, "You can trust me once, I think you don't want to stay here all your life."

"What's the use? It's not like no one has asked for help. They've all gone to the government, but they don't care. How can you help?"

"I already know King Jing, and I must know many important people." Yu Jinhe chased after him, "You have to give it a try no matter how small your hope is. It's better to do it than to do nothing."

Ayan was obviously silent for a long time, and then said with the last glimmer of hope, "Can you really help us?"

"I'll try my best."

"I didn't come here voluntarily. My home is in Qingzhou, a very remote mountain nook..." She said and paused.
