If He Yanting could save someone...

Jiang Zhiyu's eyebrows curved slightly, and his eyes lit up as he thought of something.

but……

She licked her lips, her eyes growing colder.

"Now is not the time to have them back."

Jiang Kang'an paused slightly, his deep starry eyes suddenly stopped.

He looked a little nervous: "What do you mean?"

Zhiyu has already returned, Xiao Yanli, Song Shiwei and Jiang Zhaorong are all dead, and everything is settled. Why can't they come back yet?

What will happen next that even the young fish can’t be sure of?

"Big brother is very perceptive, but I can't tell you about this."

[We have to find a way to get away with it.]

Jiang Kangan felt even more nervous.

Can't even tell him?

Jiang Kangan pricked up his ears, but Jiang Zhiyu stopped talking.

She opened her big eyes with distinct black and white, sending out waves of pleading, looking aggrieved, as if telling Jiang Kangan to stop asking.

Jiang Kangan: “…”

I still remember that when I was young, Zhiyu always had this expression on his face whenever he didn't want to do something, and he always couldn't resist and had to take the blame.

But that was when he was a child. Now he is immune to this!

Jiang Kangan hardened his heart——

"Alright," Jiang Kang'an compromised, "but if you encounter danger, you can't handle it alone!"

Jiang Zhiyu looked at her elder brother's serious eyes, and her heart softened: "I'll remember that."

【But this time, I really have to carry it alone. 】

Jiang Kangan: “…”

His pupils trembled.

…

Jiang Kang'an didn't know when Jiang Zhiyu left. His eyes were dazed and his mind was full of the words that he had to carry it alone.

As a result, he returned to the imperial study. When faced with the emperor's questions, he just ignored them and responded with the three-word formula "um", "ah", and "oh". The emperor frowned frequently and couldn't help but look at Fuping and communicate with his eyes.

Emperor: How could you become like this after just coming back from the Imperial Prison? Are you frightened? Impossible.

Fuping shook his head.

Emperor: Should we let him go back and rest first, and bring Xing Maozhi in for questioning to see what happened in the imperial prison today?

Fuping continued to shake his head.

Emperor: Could it be that the problem isn't with the Imperial Prison, but with Zhiyu? Is it that Zhiyu knows about this and suspects I don't trust her, and is blaming Kang An?

Fuping still shook his head.

The emperor was finally irritated by these three actions: "Why, you don't know anything when I ask you? What use is there for me to have you?"

Fu Ping: "...Your Majesty, please calm down. This minister did not commit this crime!"

He knelt on the ground in panic, thinking aggrievedly that he was not a worm in the emperor's stomach. He could understand the normal eye signals, but now with such a long wink, he could only tell that it was probably related to Jiang Kangan. He didn't dare to guess anything else!

Try to guess the emperor's intention. If you guess it right, everyone will be happy. If you guess it wrong, you may lose your head!

Ever since the Chaoen incident, Fuping has become even more afraid to act on his own.

emperor:"……"

The emperor knew the meaning of those three words. Jiang Zhiyu had given them in an answer during a questioning. Fuping had somehow learned them and had been using them more frequently recently, which made the emperor a little impatient.

He shifted his gaze slightly irritably, looking down at Jiang Kang'an who was still distracted. He sighed softly and said in a loud voice, "Kang'an, I see you're tired today. You don't need to wait on me anymore. Go back and rest first."

The word "rest" touched Jiang Kang'an's sensitive nerves. He stood up reflexively, clasped his fists, bowed, and saluted. His movements were so smooth that he stunned the emperor and himself.

The emperor looked at him suspiciously.

As soon as he said take a break, there was a movement. Could this kid have been pretending just now?

A bead of sweat dripped down Jiang Kang'an's forehead and he bent his knees. "I was distracted just now and didn't hear clearly what Your Majesty said. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Of course, the emperor would not blame Jiang Kang'an for this matter. He took the opportunity to ask for the reason, but Jiang Kang'an kept his mouth shut. The emperor rubbed his temples tiredly, waved his hand, and told him to "get out".

After Jiang Kangan disappeared from his sight, the emperor tapped the table with his slender fingers: "Check it for me."

It goes without saying what to check.

The emperor understood Jiang Kangan's character. He would never pretend to be like this. There were not many things that could make Jiang Kangan so excited.

Fuping knelt aside, trembling with fear.

…

At Xiao Mingye's house, he and Du Chen were still arguing about the script until Jiang Zhiyu came over and they stopped arguing.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Zhiyu came over curiously.

In front of others, Du Chen would still pretend, but during the time in Nan Gu, Jiang Zhiyu had seen their true nature, so Du Chen did not move, and still looked at Xiao Mingye with a little anger. Xiao Mingye was repeating to Jiang Zhiyu what they had just said, but the guilt in his pupils could not be concealed.

Jiang Zhiyu ignored the awkward little thoughts between them and touched his chin after listening: "It's definitely not right."

Xiao Mingye suddenly became alert: "Is that so? How could the plots in these books possibly appear in reality? Clearly..."

As if he thought of something, Xiao Mingye's voice stopped abruptly and he glanced at Du Chen.

Du Chen sneered: "Go on, why don't you continue?"

Xiao Mingye's face flushed immediately, and he was about to force himself to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Jiang Zhiyu.

"Everyone fawns over her? Even the servants and guards?"

Xiao Mingye had also been observing for a few days and nodded when he heard this.

Du Chen also blushed: "Why didn't you tell me such details!"

He thought Xiao Mingye was talking about an individual, but who knew it was about the whole!

Then something is definitely wrong!

Xiao Mingye sighed softly: "Dogs..." He paused: "All dogs like her."

Du Chen was slightly startled. He had just thought Xiao Mingye was going to call him by that name, but he didn't expect him to change his tone and say this...

Xiao Mingye didn't notice that the temperature on his face had dropped, and he continued to say to Jiang Zhiyu, "The dogs outside the mansion have been coming more frequently these past few days."

Xiao Mingye noticed this completely by accident. He was almost tripped by a puppy when he was leaving the house. He heard the puppy's whimpering sound and then discovered it.

The gatekeeper who was supposed to be guarding the door was feeding the dogs with Aida.

Xiao Mingye didn't say anything at the time, but this behavior became more and more frequent afterwards, and animals sometimes give gifts to their owners. Xiao Mingye saw the dogs bringing back insects and snakes more than once.

It immediately brought back his memories of Nan Gu.

What's more, it is not easy to find snakes in Shengjing. In addition, no one seems to be hostile to Ayiduo. Xiao Mingye has a hunch that something is wrong.

Everyone who heard the whole thing was angry: "..."

He nearly blushed again, and gnashed his teeth as he said, "With all these anomalies, you only told me one thing: have you recently discovered that the maids and servants are trying to please her?!"
