"Dead? He was a prince, the son of the late emperor. Won't His Majesty blame you?"

Not long ago, Feng Yi brought people to search the room, and now he's dead.

She had hoped to see Luo Sheng and Feng Yi confront each other.

"Kill him if you want. He was a traitor after all. There are too many secret guards on the island. To catch the thief, catch the leader first. Once he's dead, the others will have no one to resist."

As for His Majesty… I didn’t do it on purpose. It was too dark, and my eyesight isn’t good to begin with. I didn’t recognize the person and just thought it was an ordinary guard. His Majesty won’t behead me for that.”

At most, we'll punish him in some other way; we won't take his life.

In order to eliminate any future troubles and ensure Yunying's safety, he was willing to accept punishment.

Xiao Yunying smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "There are no outsiders here, so you can make up any excuse you want, right?"

Luo Sheng led her toward the residence: "Leave the cleanup to us, you go and rest, I'll take you home tomorrow."

Xiao Yunying immediately looked distressed: "Ah, we have to take a boat again."

“I heard from Ying Yi that you are very seasick. Try it when the ship first sets sail tomorrow and see what happens when you enter that space and come out. If you move with the ship, you can enter your space from inside the cabin.”

"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow."

As Xiao Yunying walked, she remembered what she had been worried about: "By the way, how are Qingzhi and Lingqi's injuries? Are they alright?"

“Miss Zuo’s wound was quite deep and somewhat dangerous, but fortunately you left those medicines, so she should be fine now. Ling Qi’s injury is also not serious.”

A huge weight was finally lifted from her heart, and she was in the mood to talk about other things: "Did you meet up with Ying Yi because of Xue Mian Dou Sha?"

"Yes, you once said that only you knew about this dessert, and that you had never even made it at home. That kid asked around everywhere. I originally wanted to observe him first to see if he was reliable, but when I saw that he even asked around at brothels, I felt that the situation might be urgent and I was afraid that you were in danger. So, without having time to plan carefully, I had all the people around him tied up, leaving only him to bring us here."

Xiao Yunying laughed: "A brothel? I really didn't expect that. I just told him to ask around at every place that sells pastries, but I didn't expect him to go to a brothel."

As she spoke, she remembered something else: "By the way, how did you know I was kidnapped? Is there anything going on at the border?"

"Nothing happened at the border. It was Feng Yi who had someone capture the messenger hawk on the way and switch the letter."

Wei Xun was observant. He noticed that after the eagle delivered the silver, it wouldn't let him get close. It even tried to peck at his hand after taking off the bamboo tube, as if it didn't want him to see the letter.

He told me about this when he went to Liangshan Temple to deliver a letter. At first, I thought they wanted to send me directly to the border and then take action in the capital. I never expected that their target was you.

Before I left, I sent a letter to Wan Jun, asking him to protect you. Unfortunately, he couldn't quite grasp the situation and was stopped four times, so he didn't have time to pick you up.

Fortunately, Chen Yuancheng was clever enough to think of the problematic monk. Wan Jun had to go to great lengths to catch him and almost let him commit suicide. It took several days of interrogation to get some clues.

"I finally found this place. I didn't know your situation on the island, so I didn't dare to take a boat here rashly. I could only wait in the city. Fortunately, I got my chance."

Xiao Yunying had figured out about the monk on the way here: "I knew that monk was suspicious. He just wanted to scare me with the fortune slip, implying that I should cooperate with Feng Yi as much as possible and hand over what he wanted so that the people around me could be safe."

When Ying Zhao received the kill order, he deliberately targeted Zuo Qingzhi and Chen Yuanyao, ignoring Chen Yuancheng who was with them. His purpose was too obvious.

She chatted with Luo Sheng about what had happened recently, explaining why Feng Yi had kidnapped her, including how she had found out about the treasure in the area, and how Feng Yi had a large source of refined iron.

Only when he reached the courtyard gate and felt the intense heat did he realize, "I forgot, I just burned down my room..."

"It's okay, there are so many rooms here, you can sleep in any of them."

Luo Sheng led her to the neighboring courtyard, which was uninhabited and very clean. There were bedding in the cabinet; she could just lay it out.

Xiao Yunying was too excited to sleep, but Luo Sheng was worried about her health and forced her to keep quiet and close her eyes to rest.

She said, still worried, "Let me bandage your wound."

"No need, I'll take a shower and change my clothes before bandaging. Bandaging it now will get in the way, and the bleeding has stopped, so you don't need to worry."

"But……"

"No buts, go and rest. I'll stay here with you and go wash up after you fall asleep."

Xiao Yunying had been preoccupied with worries lately and couldn't relax even if she wanted to. She hadn't been getting enough rest, and perhaps because Luo Sheng had come, she quickly fell asleep.

When Xiao Yunying opened her eyes the next day at dawn, she saw Luo Sheng lying beside her.

He had already washed off the bloodstains and changed into clean clothes. Seeing that she was awake, he immediately had someone bring her toiletries and breakfast.

Xiao Yunying washed her face and asked, "Why would these maids listen to you?"

"Their master is dead, and now I am the one who can decide their fate."

Xiao Yunying was a little worried: "Feng Yi is very good at brainwashing people. I hope they won't tamper with the food."

"I've had it checked, there won't be any problems."

"Okay."

The breakfast that day was exceptionally lavish, and Xiao Yunying knew why after a moment's thought.

She was going to take a boat back soon, and Luo Sheng was worried that she wouldn't be able to eat properly once she got on the boat, so he wanted to make sure she ate more now.
