Lu Yunxi did not let Jiang Yuzhu go immediately. He suppressed his excitement and slowly calmed down.

"Master, don't believe Jiang Yuzhu's lies!"

Bi Cui followed Lu Yunxi and knelt down, saying, "Jiang Yuzhu is a sinister and cunning person. Prince Jia, Feng Qing, Wei Jing, and even Queen Dowager Xuan, have never gained any benefit from her."

Now Jiang Yuzhu is a prisoner. No one knows what she said to her master that made him want to let her go.

After noticing it, Beatrice instinctively sensed danger.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

Lu Yunxi glanced at Bicui indifferently. Bicui was so scared that she crawled on the ground, swallowing the words of persuasion, but she couldn't stop being surprised in her heart.

The master had a secret conversation with Jiang Yuzhu for half an hour, and his attitude changed drastically. What happened in between?

When Bicui came to her senses, there was no one in the room.

It only took Lu Yunxi a quarter of an hour to figure it out.

Given Jiang Yuzhu's personality, she would definitely play tricks on him.

However, as long as the person is in his hands, Lu Yunxi still has the initiative.

As for what happened to Xiao She, Lu Yunxi believed it at least 80%.

Regardless of whether Jiang Yuzhu was a fox spirit or a woman from Nanzhang, it is an indisputable fact that she replaced her original cousin.

Before achieving the goal, Jiang Yuzhu still has value.

After figuring it out, Jiang Yuzhu left the dark, damp and cold cell that night and got a room upstairs, and also had a maid, Bi Cui, to monitor her.

"Bi Cui, go prepare some hot water for me, bath soap with magnolia scent, aromatherapy, and some skincare creams."

Jiang Yuzhu's bathing process was very complicated and she even needed a maid to massage her.

After instructing Bicui to prepare, she drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge and dozed off on the small couch, without any sense of being a prisoner.

Becicui frowned upon hearing this, feeling unhappy.

She obeyed her master's orders and served the empress dowager in the palace. Who did Jiang Yuzhu think she was? Why was she putting on airs in front of her?

Beatrice snorted coldly, pretended not to hear, and did nothing.

Realizing that there was someone else in the room, Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyelids but did not get annoyed.

But when she saw Lu Yunxi, she suggested, "Cousin, can you give me a more diligent maid?"

"Why, but Beatrice is not easy to use?"

Facing Jiang Yuzhu, Lu Yunxi forced himself to be gentle. He had already made plans. After successfully replacing Xiao She, he would first kill Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu to silence them.

The woman in Nanzhang had many evil ways. She would dismember the body and then burn it to destroy all evidence.

Jiang Yuzhu caught a glimpse of viciousness in Lu Yunxi's eyes and understood what was going on.

"Bi Cui was once a maid serving the Queen Mother. How could I afford her?"

Lu Yunxi's old nest has pretty good food and accommodation.

Jiang Yuzhu usually enjoys pleasure and is spoiled, unable to endure hardship.

Faced with the disguised complaint, Lu Yunxi did not react at all, and sent a maid named Biying that afternoon.

Biying took care of Jiang Yuzhu's daily life, and Bicui, as Lu Yunxi's confidant, was only reprimanded a few words and continued to stay to monitor.

After washing up, Jiang Yuzhu was served by a maid. She hummed a little tune and ate the grapes peeled by Biying, feeling leisurely and contented.

On the side, Bi Cui stared at Jiang Yuzhu with resentful eyes and cursed in her heart: Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned to death!

As if sensing Bicui's emotions, Jiang Yuzhu yawned lazily and provoked Bicui, "You really don't like it, but what can you do?"

Lu Yunxi has high hopes for Jiang Yuzhu, and Jiang Yuzhu will live a comfortable life until she achieves her wish.

But this is not a long-term solution.

After she was captured, Xie Zhao would definitely take action, but now she was the prisoner, so Jiang Yuzhu had to think of a way to save herself.

If she guessed correctly, Xie Zhao would definitely find a way to stay away from her to maintain a stable situation after learning that she was safe.

Late at night, the rain falls silently.

Xie Zhao opened the window, looked at the rain curtains scattered under the eaves, and fell silent.

There was no light in the room. The door seemed to be blown open by the wind, forming a convection with the window, and damp and cold wind rushed in.

"master."

The subordinate knelt down and reported in a low voice, "Madam was captured by Lu Yunxi's men and imprisoned in a cell. But for some reason, Lu Yunxi suddenly let Madam go and arranged for his trusted maids, Bicui and Biying, to serve her."

Lu Yunxi only has one person by his side.

It was already quite difficult for that person to deliver the message, and he had no energy left to save others.

"You mean..."

The men waited for orders.

After the lady was captured, the master seemed calm, but in fact he was on the verge of a rage.

It was a few degrees colder in the room than outside.

Before I could get a reply, another figure moved at the door.

Hong Jin was holding an oil lamp and a lunch box in her hand, hesitating whether to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Xie Zhao signaled his men to retreat in the dark, took a sip of hot tea and asked, "How is mother?"

Upon learning that Jiang Yuzhu had been arrested, Chen couldn't bear it and fainted several times.

It was only after repeated persuasion from the maids and servants that she finally had a bowl of porridge for dinner.

Hong Jin lowered her eyes and replied honestly, "The old lady is a little more stable now."

Chen believed that her daughter Jiang Yuzhu was a blessed person and would be able to turn misfortune into good fortune.

Even so, I still can't help but worry and keep waiting for news.

Hong Jin also found out that Lu Yunxi sent someone to deliver a letter, but she couldn't understand why the master was reluctant to show up. Could it be that he was afraid of death and his love for his lady was fake?

"Master, if you are unwilling to rescue Madam, please tell us the location and I, Hongxiu, will go and rescue her."

Anyway, this life belongs to my wife, so I can just throw it away.

What’s the point of living as a servant when my wife is not around?

Hong Jin said this bravely, and suddenly raised her head, revealing her dissatisfaction on her face.

"I know you have a plan in mind, but have you ever considered that the longer Madam is in Lu Yunxi's hands, the more fear she will feel?"

Hong Jin doesn’t have that many tricks, she only has one thought, to save the lady!

Xie Zhao looked at Hong Jin and said calmly, "What if you act rashly and put your wife in danger?"

Xie Zhao guessed 80% of the information his subordinates brought him.

Jiang Yuzhu may use her own secrets to gain Xie Zhao's trust, and Lu Yunxi will not tell any of his subordinates about this shocking secret for the time being.

It is not advisable to act rashly, but it cannot be delayed for too long either.

Before returning to Beijing, Xie Zhao must kill Lu Yunxi to silence her, otherwise Jiang Yuzhu's secret will be exposed.

Only the dead have tight lips.

Unlike before, Xie Zhao must calculate every step carefully because he cannot bear the danger of any failure.

Hong Jin was stumped by the question and retorted angrily, "Then when will you be able to rescue my wife?"

"Within ten days."

Xie Zhao gently closed his eyes and replied.

After sending Hong Jin away, Xie Zhao called his men and instructed them, "Get ready and sneak into Lu Yunxi's lair."

"Assassinate Lu Yunxi?"

The subordinates felt incredible, as Lu Yunxi had at least a thousand men under his command.

"No, Madam Killer."
