Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

Combined with Zong Zhengchen's abnormal behavior tonight...

He knew her true appearance. When she had an argument with Xiao Zhihua during the day, she left with Jing Yi. Maybe he was angry because of this.

However, she and Jing Yiqing were innocent and had not done anything inappropriate. He wrongly accused her and misunderstood her without any reason and did not even give her a chance to explain.

It turns out... he doesn't trust her at all.

very tired.

It's really tiring.

Qin Ye slowly bent down and sat on the steps, thinking about the many things that happened after he crossed over, sad, happy, thrilling, and pleasant...

She and he had been through so much together, but they didn't even have the most basic trust. What was the point of living like this?

It’s better to let go early and let each other be happy.

Zong Zhengchen, what you said about preferring to betray the whole world rather than betray me is all lies. You don’t believe me, so naturally you don’t love me.

You are the one who protects me, and you are also the one who hurts me.

Can……

Qin Ye was thinking about all those messy things, his mind was as confused as a steel wool, it was terrible, he held his cheeks with his hands, buried his head in his knees, and suddenly wanted to wake up and go back to the 21st century.

The night is as deep as water, quiet and silent.

The bleak moonlight was falling, the breeze was blowing gently, the candlelight was dancing, and the cool night wind was blowing. The woman's back was small and thin as she curled up into a ball.

Very thin.

It’s also very... pitiful.

"Eh? Look, there seems to be someone there?"

Not far away, a few drunken men came over arm in arm. When they saw the woman, their eyes lit up.

"It's a woman!"

It’s late at night, isn’t this a gift from God?

Several people's eyes were filled with lustful light, and they couldn't wait to rub their salty pig hands and ran towards the woman lustfully:

"Beauty, let's... uh!"

There was a sudden pain in the back of my neck.

His eyelids fluttered and he fainted on the ground.

The two people next to them hadn't reacted yet and fell to the ground one after another, like dumplings, fainting and losing any sound.

From the darkness, a tall black figure walked out slowly.

The man held a long sword in his hand, standing on the street corner several meters away. Against the backlight, his shadow was dragged very long, and his black eyes silently stared at the woman's back.

Gentle, caring, always by your side, silently guarding...

tread--

The footsteps were very light.

Qin Ye became alert instantly, the birthmark on his face quickly healed, he raised his head and stood up, looking sharply.

It's her!

Qin Hongluan!

"Fourth sister, it's late at night, why are you here alone?" She was wearing a light pink dress, with delicate makeup, gorgeous clothes, and expensive jewelry. Her every move exuded the air of a noble daughter.

She smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

But, she is the one with the problem.

"It's indeed late. Why is my elder sister here?" Qin Ye asked back in the same tone.

She has married into the Prince's Mansion and become the Prince's concubine. Logically, she should be in the Prince's Mansion now.

Qin Hongluan gracefully stroked the necklace in her hair and said with a faint smile:

"How can I sleep well when the prince is still in the palace and I don't know whether he is safe or not? Only if Fourth Sister shows mercy and spares the prince, can I sleep well."

"!"

Qin Ye became alert instantly.

She knows!

She actually knew everything!

She used the power of Wuji Sect to obtain information about the prince's financial movements, which proved that the prince bribed Lord Wei and personally planned a plot to 'assassinate himself and frame Prince Chen'.

If the emperor knew that the prince had resorted to all means to murder Prince Chen, he would be furious and might even depose the prince.

Is Qin Hongluan here to act as a lobbyist?
