It was the third watch of the night, deep and quiet.
A figure carrying a large sack crept furtively over the wall of the Second Prince's residence.
The figure moved swiftly, heading straight for the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.
When the figure reached the gate of the Yong'an Prince's Mansion, he gently put down the sack on his body and ran away quickly.
Ye Zeyu was meeting Su Muxi in his dream when he was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Ce's voice.
"Master, someone has sent you a very generous gift!"
Ye Zeyu slowly opened his eyes, got up unhappily, put on a simple robe, and walked out of the house.
"Ideally, it would be a really big gift."
The voice was cold and carried a warning.
Xiao Ce secretly pouted as he looked at his master's unsatisfied expression.
Needless to say, the master must have dreamed of Su Muxi.
Who would have thought that my master, who was previously indifferent to women, would turn out like this after he finally understood...
"say!"
Seeing Xiao Ce standing blankly at the door without saying a word, Ye Zeyu urged him in a cold voice.
Xiao Ce snapped out of his reverie and said mysteriously, "The guards just found a sack at the door. Guess what's inside?"
Seeing the hostility in Ye Zeyu's eyes, Xiao Ce dared not keep him in suspense any longer and said directly, "There is actually one person inside! I just went to identify him, and he is actually a guard from the Second Prince's side!"
"Are you sure?" Ye Zeyu frowned.
“Confirmed! I have followed the Second Prince many times, and I remember clearly who his guards are! I just don’t know who stabbed him and broke both his legs. He is now on the verge of death, and Elder Ge is treating him. If he can be saved, we will definitely be able to extract a lot of secrets about the Second Prince from him.”
Xiao Ce's eyes were full of excitement, as if he would soon be able to bring down Ye Zerui.
But Ye Zeyu poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"If you are injured and sent to Ye Zerui, will you betray me completely?"
"Of course not! I'm a tough nut to crack!"
"So you know that person is soft?"
“…”
Although Ye Ziyu said that, he still went to see the person.
In the past, Ge Mao had already treated Ji Cheng's wounds. Seeing Ye Zeyu coming over, he quickly explained the situation.
"Although the knife wound to his abdomen avoided a fatal blow, it took too much time and caused him to lose too much blood. Whether he can pull through depends on himself. Anyway, I did my best."
Ye Zeyu looked at the person on the bed and indeed felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Upon hearing Ge Mao say that the other person might not be able to be saved, Su Muxi immediately came to mind.
Although he really wanted to go find Su Muxi right now, looking at the night outside, a feeling of shyness suddenly welled up in his heart.
It's so late, let's go find Xi'er first thing tomorrow morning.
Although Xi'er will eventually become his woman, constantly summoning her late at night is ultimately not good for her reputation.
Moreover, spending time with Xi'er at night was torture for him as well.
So let's wait a little longer.
Although the candlelight in the room was dim, Ge Mao could still see that Ye Zeyu's face had turned red.
"What? Thinking about that girl?"
"Tsk tsk! I never thought you'd end up like this! Those old fogies in the Xuanwu Army should see you in this lovesick state!"
Hearing Ge Mao's teasing, Ye Zeyu's face turned even redder.
After giving a cold snort, he fled as if his life depended on it.
Indeed, it's best to wear a mask wherever I go from now on!
After returning to his room, Ye Zeyu didn't sleep much, his mind filled with thoughts of Su Muxi.
As dawn broke, they tidied themselves up and headed towards the Su residence.
He was also afraid that if he went too early, the Su family members would not have woken up yet.
Unexpectedly, someone arrived even earlier than him.
"What are you doing here?!"
Ye Zeyu still had some impression of Xie Xuan.
The man who stole Tang Yan's heart, yet still coveted Xi'er.
Xie Xuan originally intended to go to Shanci Hall early in the morning to express his feelings to Su Muxi, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he came directly to the gate of Su's residence before dawn.
He had been standing at the door for almost an hour, waiting for the Su family to wake up so he could knock on the door and see Su Muxi.
Just as she was mentally considering what she would say to Su Muxi, she suddenly heard a cold male voice.
Looking up in the direction of the voice, he immediately straightened his back and, not to be outdone, said, "What? This is the territory of the Prince of Yong'an. Do I need to report to you to come here?"
“Su Muxi is my future queen consort. You, a man, are standing in front of my future queen consort’s residence so early in the morning. Shouldn’t I question this?”
As he spoke, Ye Zeyu nimbly jumped down from the carriage.
Being a full head taller than Xie Xuan made Xie Xuan's aura instantly seem less imposing than Ye Ziyu's.
But Xie Xuan didn't want to lose face before even meeting Su Muxi, as he didn't want to be defeated by Ye Zeyu.
So he subtly took a step back, creating some distance between himself and Ye Ziyu, and raised his chin, saying without any politeness, "I think Prince Yong'an has been in power for too long and is used to being domineering! Not to mention that Miss Su has not yet married you, even if she had, I would not need to report to you when I come to the Su residence!"
A murderous intent flashed in Ye Zeyu's eyes.
This Xie Xuan actually dares to covet his woman, and he's so self-righteous about it. He's really asking for trouble!
"Xiao Ce!"
Ye Zeyu called out in a cold voice.
Although no specific instructions were given, Xiao Ce understood and stepped forward.
Xie Xuan looked at Xiao Ce, who was walking towards him with a fierce expression, and shouted, "What are you doing?! This is the capital!"
Just as Xiao Ce reached out to grab Xie Xuan's shoulder, the gate of the Su residence was slowly opened from the inside.
