Uncle, don't overdo it

"The concubine...just sympathizes with the concubine." Mrs. Mei replied after a pause.

"Why do you sympathize with her?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.

However, Ximen Jingxuan didn't intend to really wait for Mrs. Mei's answer, and strode away from Mrs. Mei.

Ximenhen went with him.

Mrs. Mei turned around, her eyes followed the two of them closely, or she just followed the unrestrained figure with less royal arrogance, and did not move away for a long time.

It wasn't until she heard Yan'er's uncontrollable crying from the room behind her that Madam Mei came back to her senses. She glanced lightly at the room with the closed door, and looked at Ximen Jingxuan and Ximen Hen who had completely disappeared. Walked over the pond bridge, intending to return to his residence.

"Doctor, what's wrong with Miss's injury? This arrow has penetrated so deep into her back." Yan'er looked at the arrow that the doctor took from Lin Xiner's body, and asked in tears.

The arrow penetrated a full two inches into the body, almost piercing through.Yan'er didn't dare to think, what would happen if that arrow happened to pass through her heart, she would never see Miss again.

"Prince Xuan's life is fatal, the arrow's position is only a few inches away from the exit, but fortunately she didn't hurt her life." The doctor said, "It's just that the injury is very serious, and it will take more than a month for the body to recover at the earliest."

"Yan'er will serve Miss wholeheartedly." Yan'er wiped away her tears and nodded.

The secret room was always dark, relying on the prepared candles to light it up, Yi Yao stayed in it for an unknown amount of time.

After hearing the voice delivered by the Young Palace Master that time, Yi Yao never heard anything again.

She tried to leave by herself, but she couldn't even open the stone door, and couldn't find a breakthrough elsewhere.

Just when Yi Yao was racking her brains to think of a way, Shimen suddenly made a knock.

Yi Yao looked at Shimen happily, but when she saw that it was Ximen Jingxuan, she was disappointed and her expression darkened.

"Who do you think it is?" Ximen Jingxuan walked towards Yiyao.

The sudden change in her face made him feel very uncomfortable, and what made him even more curious was who was she hoping to see?Who else, in her opinion, could appear here...to save her?

Ximen Jingxuan thought of the assassin just now. He didn't know his background at first, and he hoped to see this woman use her skills to escape from the secret room, and suddenly appeared again to rescue Lin Xiner. With a look on his face, Ximen Jingxuan connected the assassin to Shuiyue Palace. Could it be that the assassin was related to her?If that's the case, the Shuiyue Palace's actions are really puzzling if the target is a servant girl. With this woman in his hands, what will the people of Shuiyue Palace think after that?

Yi Yao didn't answer Ximen Jingxuan's question, and sat on the bed without saying a word.

"Someone shot and injured my concubine with a hidden arrow just now, is he the one you want to see?" Ximen Jingxuan stood in front of Yiyao and asked.

He knew that this woman would not answer directly, and he didn't intend to hear the answer from her mouth. He only needed to observe the woman's reaction to make a judgment.

"You stabbed the concubine?" Surprise flashed across Yi Yao's face, was the young palace master injured?

However, from Ximen Jingxuan's point of view, her surprise did not lie with Lin Xiner, but with that assassin. She really cared about that assassin.

"Although I don't know how the people of Shuiyue Palace want to rescue you, I can tell you that unless you use your own ability to leave, don't expect them to save you." Ximen Jingxuan said.

The face of the woman sitting on the bed really lacked the sharp look when she first saw her, and the demeanor that took care of the whole situation was missing.He wanted to see the shock that brought him back that day again, so he had to force her, to force out the "her" that he could never forget.

"That assassin is not from Shuiyue Palace." Yi Yao knew that Ximen Jingxuan had misunderstood.The people of Shuiyue Palace would never hurt the Young Palace Master, but she couldn't explain this reason to Ximen Jingxuan.

What worries her even more is the injury of the Young Palace Master. She must have faced danger head-on to hide her last resort. Who is hiding in the dark to harm someone?

"So sure?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.

"Yes, Shuiyue Palace has never been an assassin." Yi Yao said, Shuiyue Palace has been involved in many places, but it has never been involved in such things as assassination.The Palace Master said that Shuiyue Palace is doing well in the rivers and lakes. Although it is doing business based on its ability to collect money and do things, there are two things it should not do. Hiding in the dark and killing people, from the Palace Master's point of view, both of these are the activities of the idiots.

That's right, Ximen Jingxuan has never heard that people from Shuiyue Palace will assassinate, so why did the assassin come here?How do people from Shuiyue Palace plan to meet this woman?After all, her status in Shuiyue Palace is not low, so she won't be ignored.

"If the prince is just asking about the assassin, I don't have any good opinion, not to mention that the matter of Prince Xuan's Mansion has nothing to do with Shuiyue Palace." Yi Yao said, looking straight ahead with cold eyes.

She knew that the only thing she could do at this time was to help the Young Palace Master to put aside his relationship with Shuiyue Palace, so that Ximen Jingxuan could not see that she cared about the Young Palace Master's injury.

"Irrelevant?" Ximen Jingxuan bent down, raised his hand to hook Yi Yao's chin, and forced her to look at him, "If it is irrelevant, will you rescue Lin Xiner in the bamboo forest? Your Shuiyue Palace will kidnap Lin Xiner Negotiating with this king to pardon Xiaoyaohou's death penalty? You——visiting Xuan Palace at night, have a relationship with this king that you can't get rid of in this life?"

"Shuiyue Palace doesn't bully the weak, and naturally it doesn't see the weak being bullied. I rescued Princess Xuan out of my own grievances. Kidnapping Princess Xuan and rescuing Xiaoyaohou is a business that Shuiyue Palace promised to do. As for exploring the palace at night—— "Yi Yao knew that Ximen Jingxuan was referring to that time when Lin Xiner borrowed her identity to infiltrate Prince Xuan's mansion before the big wedding. What happened that time?

She now understands that King Xuan regards her as a thorn in his side to hurt her and trap her. In fact, the person he wants to deal with should really be the Young Palace Master, but what he remembers is his own face.

"How?" Ximen Jingxuan saw Yiyao paused, and tightened his fingers on Yiyao's chin, but looked at Yiyao with the same indifference as before, as if he didn't care, because his real concern was buried in his heart .

"I have nothing to say." Yi Yao said.

"I have nothing to say." Ximen Jingxuan pushed forward, his handsome face was close to Yiyao's nose.

Yi Yao felt that her ears were hot, and she didn't dare to move, for fear of touching the tip of Ximen Jingxuan's nose.

This feeling made her a little suffocated.

"Do you want to relive the situation that day with this king again?" Ximen Jingxuan looked at the panic flashing across Yiyao's eyes, with a bit of timidity.
