"Wait!" Liu Yirou stopped the guard, "Follow me, I know where the assassin is!"

The guards looked suspicious, but they all followed Liu Yirou.

The cold palace in the imperial palace is definitely a good place to hide people. It is said that many demoted concubines had died tragically here, so no one is willing to come here. What's more, no concubine was demoted to the cold palace in this dynasty, so it remained idle.

The garden is overgrown with weeds, but there are also unyielding flowers that stretch their necks to compete with the weeds. The bright flowers are in full bloom, and it is quiet. If you ignore the subtle chill in the air, it can be considered a good place!

At night, the moonlight was dim. For fear of causing unnecessary trouble by lighting candles, the two decided not to light candles unless necessary. They sat in the somewhat lonely courtyard. Yue Nanchen practiced breathing exercises to heal his wounds, while Lan Shuiyao sat lazily on her newly hung swing, her red dress fluttering, enjoying this rare quietness.

The research and development of explosives has almost been successful. Together with the smoke bombs and stink bombs made previously, the technology has become relatively mature. What is needed now is manpower and large-scale production. However, it is obvious that based on the current situation, this does not seem practical.

Turning his head to look at Yue Nanchen who was sitting upright in the pavilion, although he was only wearing ordinary black clothes and his face even looked a little haggard, he sat there cross-legged, like a lush lotus leaf, full of vitality.

Noticing the woman's scrutiny, Yue Nanchen raised the corners of his lips slightly, collected his inner strength, and turned to look at her, "A night like this is beautiful and peaceful!"

Lan Shuiyao snorted coldly, "Yeah, I never thought that there would be a day when we two can get along so peacefully!"

In the past, when the two of them met, they always fought to the death.

However, this seemed to be the result of Yue Nanchen's compromise. Lan Shuiyao believed that her state of mind had not changed much.

"Actually, I really like this peace!" Yue Nanchen spoke softly. At least he and Lan Shuiyao had taken a big step forward. He knew that Lan Shuiyao was not a person who could easily trust others, let alone love.

But he believed that one day she would fall in love with him, it just required the two of them to walk through it together!

"I thought you only liked killing people!" Shui Yao couldn't help but ridicule him. His change made her feel a little at a loss. To be exact, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if he was planning something.

"Actually, I also like killing people, especially those who endanger Nanyue, those enemies!" Yue Nanchen suddenly smiled hideously, which made people feel creepy.

Lan Shuiyao was about to continue to ridicule him, when suddenly, her eyes darkened and her body quickly bounced off the swing, her red dress fluttering, infinitely beautiful, as she walked towards Yue Nanchen. At the same time, Yue Nanchen also realized something and quickly stood up.

The two stood side by side, staring coldly at the dark wooden door of the cold palace that was broken in an instant, and fell to the ground with a clang, stirring up a cloud of dust in the dark night.

"It's Liu Yirou!" Shui Yao spoke softly, and her hand quickly reached to the side of the pavilion, where there were several smoke bombs that she had placed earlier, just in case.

"You can't fight head-on. Don't forget the poison in your body!" Yue Nanchen whispered. His wounds had not healed yet, and Shui Yao was also poisoned by Liu Yirou. Now was not the time to fight head-on!

"I know it without you telling me!" Shui Yao raised her eyebrows proudly, "Now that you are injured, you have to rely on me to escape, right? Ten thousand taels, no bargaining!"

Yue Nanchen was stunned and teased

She said, "Ten thousand taels is fine, but I want to eat the meal you cook!"

Shui Yao was stunned. The meal she cooked? It seemed like she had never cooked before! "Okay, deal!" Since he was not afraid of death, he was done eating!

Yue Nanchen felt very proud. He had overheard Lan Shuiyao and Yue Nanxuan ordering food that time, and he remembered Lan Shuiyao's theory in his heart. He thought that although Lan Shuiyao was stingy on weekdays, she used the best. This was a woman who knew how to enjoy life and treat herself well. The food she cooked must be good too!

In fact, whether the food is delicious or not is secondary. If he sees Yaoer cooking for him personally... Yue Nanchen feels excited just thinking about it!

In front of her, the two people were bargaining calmly. Liu Yirou was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You guys go to hell for this meal!" After saying that, she waved her hand coldly and ordered the guards to rush over.

Carrying Yue Nanchen on her shoulders, Lan Shuiyao smiled proudly and ostentatiously. With the smoke bomb in her hand and her lightness skills, it was more than enough for her to escape from the palace. She just felt a little regretful that she couldn't kill the bitch Liu Yirou immediately!

"Haha!" A sweet and delicate laugh resounded in the air. She stretched out her fingers, and the fingertips instantly sparkled. She raised them into the air, and the guards who followed her immediately fell to the ground. "Liu Yirou, just wait for me to come back and take your head!"

She retracted her fingers and the silver light returned to her sleeves. She extended them again and a few black marbles popped out instantly. A thick mist surged out the moment they landed on the ground. Taking advantage of the mist, the woman flew high up and quickly disappeared into the distance by stepping on the roof.

"Bastard!" Liu Yirou cursed softly. She originally wanted to catch the two people first so as to avoid having to explain the source of the information to Mi Zun, but she didn't expect to let the two people run away!

"Empress, what should we do? Should we continue to pursue her?"

Commander Wei asked quickly.

"What are you chasing after? Who among you can be a match for that woman? Without the Gu Qin, the assassins can't do anything, and even the poison in her body can't be controlled. If I had known this would happen..."

Liu Yirou was so angry that she was about to die. The people she brought with her were trapped in a cloud of white fog before they could even do anything. The guards who had been lying in ambush outside the cold palace were also like headless flies, running around in circles and unable to catch anything!

"Listen, no one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, understand?" Liu Yirou said coldly. In fact, she was more afraid that if Mi Zun got to know about it, he would look for the source of the information and she would not be able to explain it clearly!

She has been hiding for so many years. It is not easy for her to go from a little palace maid to a queen. Seeing that the plan is being implemented step by step, she must not let Mi Zun suspect!

"Yes, your majesty!" The guards quickly obeyed the order!

The roof was under her feet, and Shui Yao performed her Qinggong as if she were walking on flat ground. In the past year, she had become quite comfortable with this body, and was no longer out of breath at any time like before.

After making sure there were no pursuers behind him, Yue Nanchen persisted. Hiding behind a woman was not his style. If he hadn't been injured and unsuitable for practicing martial arts, he would never let his beloved woman carry him! He hated this feeling of powerlessness!

Following behind the woman, watching her flying under the black moon, the beauty was breathtaking, and Yue Nanchen hated his current situation even more!

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" The woman stood on the roof facing the wind, her clothes fluttering, and she pursed her lips and smiled softly, making people feel itchy!

Yue Nanchen didn't say anything, he just tried his best to perform Qinggong and calm his blood. He had to heal his wounds as soon as possible, he couldn't let Yao'er protect him all the time!

Lan Shuiyao having fun in the front

But she didn't care about the man's thoughts behind her at all. Perhaps she was used to being strong and had never suffered any setbacks. She couldn't understand the mentality of a king who galloped on the battlefield and suddenly became a poor guy protected by a woman.

"Where are we going?" Yue Nanchen asked in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

Shui Yao was stunned and looked back at him in confusion. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly become so grumpy?

"The army of Miluo has already set up camp on the border. Mi Zun will not act rashly, so Nanyue is safe for the time being! The peace talks between the four countries will take at least seven days, and this period of time is just right for me to recover from my injuries! We need a quiet place!"

Yue Nanchen said coldly, with a hint of anger between his brows, "Qianhun has already sent someone to arrange a place for us to stay. Come with me!"

Shui Yao was stunned. When did Qianhun arrange this? How come she didn't know? Yue Nanchen was busy practicing all day, and she didn't see him take action, but she didn't expect that he had arranged so much!

He leaped over the roof with Lan Shuiyao, finally found the courtyard and jumped in.

The courtyard is not big, with only four houses, bedrooms, and a kitchen with complete utensils and even food. Even if you don't leave the house, it's enough to last for seven days!

It is true that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Yue Nanchen is injured and trapped, he can easily control everything outside. It seems that she really cannot underestimate him!

"I can finally take a bath in peace!" Shui Yao didn't want to care about the reason for his sudden change of expression. She yawned, stretched, and went straight to a room. Finally, she didn't have to sleep on the floor, and she could finally take a bath!

Yue Nanchen silently looked at the woman's back and made up his mind again that he must get better quickly and not let a woman protect him anymore!
