Upon closer inspection, Xu Yuehuai was surprised to find that the person was none other than Yan Qing!

What's Yan Qing doing here?

And she was even dressed up as a woman?

Xu Yuehuai was filled with doubt as she stared intently at the battle below, secretly planning her next move.

At this moment, Yan Qing was already engaged in a fierce battle. Surrounded by several men in black, he gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

Xu Yuehuai felt a surge of anxiety and was about to rush down to help when she suddenly stopped. She realized that she couldn't act rashly, otherwise she might expose the entire team's whereabouts.

She quickly retreated to her original position, forcing herself to calm down. Now she had to come up with a foolproof plan to rescue Yan Qing without exposing herself.

The next moment, she suddenly had a great idea!

Xu Yuehuai quickly ran down the stairs, recalling what she had just seen as she ran, trying to find a flaw in the man in black.

Upon reaching the ground floor, she immediately spotted Xiao Rui and his group in the shadows. She hurried forward, saying, "Xiao Rui, we need to act right away."

Seeing Xu Yuehuai's solemn expression, Xiao Rui couldn't help but feel nervous. He quickly asked, "Sir, what happened?"

Xu Yuehuai didn't say much, but briefly described what she had just seen, "It seems that person is very important to them. Maybe we can get the answer from him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rui immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He said in a deep voice, "Sir, what do you intend to do?"

Xu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and said, "We'll rescue him, but we can't let our people get hurt. I have an idea, we can..."

She explained her plan in detail to Xiao Rui and the others, who all nodded in agreement. They quickly split into two teams: one to distract the men in black, and the other to rescue Yan Qing.

Xu Yuehuai led a group of people to quietly circle around to the other side of the theater. They deliberately made some noise to attract the attention of the men in black. Meanwhile, Xiao Rui led another group to rush into the theater from the front, searching for Yan Qing's whereabouts.

Chaos erupted inside the theater as actors and audience members scattered and fled. Seeing this, the men in black immediately dispatched several to track down Xu Yuehuai and his group, while the rest continued their attack on Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was already severely injured, but he still stubbornly resisted the attacks of the men in black. His eyes were filled with the courage to face death, as if he wanted to wipe out all the enemies.

Xiao Rui and the others finally located Yan Qing's position. They immediately rushed forward and engaged the man in black in battle.

With their help, Yan Qing finally escaped the siege of the men in black, but he was exhausted and unable to fight any longer.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuehuai and the others immediately stepped forward to help Yan Qing up and led him away from the theater. They carefully avoided the patrol routes of the men in black and successfully brought Yan Qing back to the palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Xu Yuehuai immediately began to personally treat Yan Qing's injuries.

After careful treatment, Yan Qing's condition gradually stabilized. He lay on the bed, pale-faced, barely breathing.

"Thank you for saving me," Yan Qing said softly.

Xu Yuehuai shook her head and said, "How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Yan Qing said slowly, "I'm fine now, just a little weak. How did you know I was there?"

"I discovered it by accident while investigating those assassins. How did you get captured by them? And dressed up as a woman?" Xu Yuehuai asked.

Yan Qing sighed, "I almost escaped, but I fell into their trap. After they captured me, they dressed me up as a woman to avoid suspicion. Luckily, you showed up with your men in time, otherwise I would have been in grave danger."

Xu Yuehuai: "Those assassins are indeed cunning; we must be careful. You should rest now; we will continue to investigate this matter."

Yan Qing nodded gratefully, then closed his eyes. Xu Yuehuai looked at his quiet face and fell into deep thought.

As night deepened, Xu Yuehuai left her room and went out into the courtyard for some fresh air.

She looked up at the starry sky, her heart filled with emotion. She remembered Qi Guze's smile and gentle eyes, as well as Yan Qing's determination and courage.

The road ahead will be full of hardships and setbacks, but she believes that as long as she has love and faith in her heart, she will be able to overcome all difficulties.

She took a deep breath, savoring the coolness and tranquility of the night. She knew a new day was about to begin, and she had to prepare herself for the challenges ahead.

She turned and went back to her room, lay down on the bed to rest, and knew that only by being well-rested could she better deal with what was to come.

She lay there quietly, as if isolated from the world.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon the earth, Xu Yuehuai got up early and meticulously planned the day's itinerary.

Ahead lies a group of cunning and ruthless assassins; this is a life-or-death struggle, and there can be no room for complacency.

Xu Yuehuai, dressed in a tight black outfit, walked lightly out of the palace.

Several of her loyal subordinates were already waiting outside the palace. Upon seeing Xu Yuehuai, they immediately bowed respectfully.

Xu Yuehua nodded slightly and instructed, "Today, we will venture deep into the market to search for traces of those assassins."

The market was bustling with people. The shouts of vendors and the sounds of customers haggling filled the air, creating a vivid scene of everyday life.

Xu Yuehuai weaved through the crowd, her gaze as sharp as a hawk's, not missing a single suspicious clue.

Her men followed closely behind, ready to deal with any emergencies.

However, despite the bustling crowds at the market, Xu Yuehuai found no clues.

She frowned slightly. She knew that the assassins wouldn't easily reveal their whereabouts, so she had to find a different way to investigate.

So, Xu Yuehuai led his men to a teahouse.

The teahouse had a relaxed atmosphere, with the aroma of tea wafting through the air. Guests sat around tables, chatting quietly.

Xu Yuehuai found a seat by the window and sat down, her gaze sweeping over the guests.

"Sir, where do you think these assassins might be hiding?" Xiao Rui asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with worry.

Xu Yuehuai shook her head slightly and said, "I can't say for sure. But I have a feeling they must be somewhere in the capital. We must search carefully and not overlook any possible place."

Just then, Xu Yuehuai heard a whisper in her ear. She turned her head and saw a guest talking to his friend at the next table. A glint flashed in Xu Yuehuai's eyes, and she decided to go over and test the waters.

"Greetings, gentlemen. Excuse me." Xu Yuehuai smiled and stepped forward, bowing to the two guests.

One of the guests looked up, sizing up Xu Yuehuai, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Oh, you're a beautiful young lady. May I ask what brings you here?"
