Women, you've fallen to this state, yet you still act all high and mighty. I'm not going to tolerate that.

He understands the principle that sycophants never get a good end.

"Are you asking me to beg you?" As if she could see through his thoughts, Yun Jianyue's face showed a hint of amusement.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense," Zuan denied it three times in a row. "Of course, if you want to say something nice, that's not impossible..."

Yun Jianyue chuckled lightly: "No problem. When the time comes, I'll just say you're my accomplice, that you used your privilege as a Gold Medal Embroidered-Robe Envoy to let us assassins in. Does that sound nice?"

Zuan: "..."

You're awesome!

Left with no other choice, he said, "It's probably too late to get you out of the palace now. Come stay with me for a while, lay low for a bit, and leave once your injuries have healed."

The method of sending Qiu Honglei before is unlikely to be used a second time. In addition, the Left and Right Guards Generals, Zhu Xie Chixin, the Guerrilla General, and others are all leading their troops to conduct a large-scale search in the palace. If you are not careful, you will run into their people. Now that Yun Jianyue is seriously injured, she probably can't even climb over the palace walls.

Yun Jianyue didn't refuse: "Okay."

Zuan looked around but didn't see anyone. Then he turned back and waved to her: "Come out quickly."

Yun Jianyue stood up and suddenly swayed, clearly still feeling a bit dizzy.

Zuan frowned: "Let me help you up."

Knowing that she wouldn't let him carry her, he didn't want to make a fool of himself.

Yun Jianyue nodded and slowly extended her hand.

Zuan: "..."

The way she was standing there made it seem as if she were a concubine on a journey, and I was just a lowly eunuch holding her hand.

Okay, I'll tolerate you this time for Hong Lei's sake.

He reached out to help the other person, and they slowly walked towards his residence.

"After you recover from your injuries, you won't repay kindness with enmity and kill me just because I was hit by your hand, will you?"

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy. The Empress and the Crown Princess had accidentally had physical contact before, which caused a lot of trouble. He didn't want to go through all that trouble to save them only to get nothing in return.

"Why would I kill you?" Yun Jianyue looked at him strangely. "Just because you touched my hand?"

Now it was Zu'an's turn to be surprised: "Does it mean that men often touch your hands?"

Have you gotten used to it already?

Considering her background in the Demonic Sect, it seems to make sense, but there's something unsettling about it.

Sigh, it's a man's inherent weakness; when he sees a beautiful woman, he just wants her all to himself.

"I'm actually thinking of killing you afterward because of what you said," Yun Jianyue snorted.

Hearing this answer, Zu'an became happy instead. No one had touched it before, which was good, very good.

Yun Jianyue frowned and said, "Stop chatting. There are guards searching the palace everywhere. Don't run into them."

Normally, when she unleashes her divine sense, no one within a radius of dozens of miles can escape her notice. Unfortunately, she is now seriously injured and no longer has this ability.

Having grown accustomed to sensing enemies with her divine sense in daily life, she now felt as if she were blind and deaf, extremely uncomfortable.

Zuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no one around."

Yun Jianyue was puzzled, not understanding where his confidence came from. Could it be that his cultivation had also reached the point of projecting his divine sense outwards?

But as the journey continued, she couldn't help but admire him. Several times, Zuan pulled her aside. At first, she thought he was trying to take advantage of her, but when she saw the guards that appeared soon, she understood.

Several times in a row, he managed to evade them in advance, as if he already knew their location.

Yun Jianyue could no longer hold back: "How did you do that?"

Zuan smiled slightly: "It's a secret."

He certainly couldn't project his divine sense outwards, but he could achieve a similar effect through other means.

That was the jade cong in his hand. He could control the small animals around him. The palace had a large green area, with trees and flowers everywhere. There were many cats, mice, birds and the like. The guards couldn't possibly guard against them, so how would they know that these small animals had become someone else's eyes and ears?

With the help of these small animals, Zu'an was always able to spot the guards ahead of time, so even with the large-scale search in the palace, he still managed to bring Yun Jianyue back to his residence safely.

Seeing his mysterious expression, Yun Jianyue didn't press him further. For cultivators, many skills are life-saving measures and are indeed not convenient to reveal to outsiders.

She thought she would find an opportunity to ask her good apprentice in the future to see if she knew.

Zu An used his waist token to unlock the restrictions on the residence and invited Yun Jianyue inside: "This is the residence of a Gold Medal Embroidered Robe Envoy. Not many people usually come here, so you can rest here and recover from your injuries."

When he mentioned the gold medal, he deliberately puffed out his chest, hoping to hear the other person's amazed tone and show off a bit, but little did he know that the other person didn't care at all.

"Thank you." Yun Jianyue looked around. This place was indeed very secluded, perfect for her to avoid the limelight now.

Seeing that she wasn't cooperating, Zu An also lost interest: "By the way, why did you hide over there by the rockery? It's not far from the Emperor's study. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Yun Jianyue slowly sat down, supporting herself on a chair. Despite her serious injuries, her posture was still impeccable. She sat there with her back straight, which made her chest appear even more prominent and her waist even slimmer. In particular, the curve between her waist and hips was especially captivating.

Her lips parted slightly, her voice soft yet carrying a hint of coldness: "The most dangerous place is often the safest. Because it's closest to the Imperial Study, the guards subconsciously ignored it and searched other areas. Plus, I used 'The Mirror Is Not a Platform' to conceal my presence, so it wasn't difficult to fool them. Of course..."
