She raised her eyes and met the prince's.

Wen Chenxuan's face was grim, and he glared at Chu Weiyue with disdain: "What crime should you be charged with for going out alone in the middle of the night despite the ban?"

"I just went out to have fun. I have nothing to do. There are no rules. Besides, it's impossible for a flower thief to appear in a crowded place."

Chu Weiyue was not timid at all, but instead responded boldly.

Thinking of the last time Chu Weiyue openly embarrassed him, Wen Chenxuan's anger surged even more intensely.

"Chu Weiyue, this prince advises you to go back immediately. Don't think that the flower-stealing thief will show mercy. If you really meet him, he will drag you into the grove and execute you on the spot. Then you will be in tears and there will be no one to cry for help!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Weiyue couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked down at her man's attire and muttered quietly in her heart.

[Now I am dressed as a man, and it is dark and I cannot see it. The flower thief will not like Long Yang, right? ]

When Wen Chenxuan heard the voice, his face instantly became depressed and embarrassed.

"Chu Weiyue, you are so shameless!"

He snorted angrily as if he heard some dirty words.

Chu Weiyue looked depressed and had no idea what was going on.

"Someone, send her back to my house!"

Without waiting for Chu Weiyue to say a word, several of her men forced her towards the Marquis' Mansion.

When they arrived at the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion, they threw Chu Weiyue to the ground, and the prince's men left in a hurry.

He stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, and muttered in dissatisfaction in his heart.

"If you don't let me go out, I'll go out anyway!"

With a cold laugh, Chu Weiyue took the opportunity when they walked away to leave from the side path.

The path seemed long and scary because it was dark and there was no night light.

But the desire to go to the night market overwhelmed everything, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard behind him, which made Chu Weiyue look a little upset.

"You can't be that unlucky, right?"

Now she is dressed as a man. It is impossible that the flower thief is not even interested in men, right?

Suddenly she realized that there was no sound behind her, and all the fear came from behind, and every hair on her body stood on end.

After shouting, Chu Weiyue started running forward.

Suddenly, a black figure climbed down from the wall, grabbed her arm, pressed her against the corner, and began to touch her.

"You bastard, let me go!" Chu Weiyue yelled at the top of his voice and raised his hand to slap him in the face.

But the man in black was very swift and agile. He grabbed her arm and twisted it gently. Chu Weiyue screamed and her hand seemed to have lost all feeling and she didn't even have the strength to lift it.

"Help!" She could only scream at the top of her lungs.

Just as the man in black raised his arms high, trying to knock her out, a white figure came running from the side and kicked the black man hard in the chest.

After rolling on the ground for a few times, he covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wen Jingchi's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at him indifferently, wanting to go towards him.

The man in black took out a white ball from his arms and threw it hard on the ground.

Suddenly, sparks flew on the ground, and after a crackling sound, the man in black disappeared without a trace.

I was planning to continue chasing, but I heard a woman's painful cries behind me.

He walked quickly to the side and found that the person he had just rescued was actually Chu Weiyue!

Wen Jingchi's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He grabbed her arm and reconnected the dislocated part.

After lying on the ground for a while, Chu Weiyue finally had the strength to get up.

"This abominable thief actually treated me like this. When I catch him, I will cut him into pieces!"

Thinking of the terrifying scene just now, Chu Weiyue felt an immense resentment in his heart.

Wen Jingchi chuckled disdainfully: "Just you?"

Facing the anger in Chu Weiyue's eyes, there was nothing but disdain in his gaze.

"It must have been a dark and windy night, and he didn't see your face clearly, otherwise how could you be in danger?"

These words were like a basin of dog blood, splashing fiercely on Chu Weiyue's face. He clenched his fist tightly and wanted to punch him, but Wen Jingchi grabbed his wrist.

He didn't want to waste time arguing with her, so he asked her sternly, "Why did you go out so late at night? Didn't His Royal Highness issue a ban that prohibits women from going out late at night? Why did you knowingly break the law?"

Chu Weiyue blinked and let out a long sigh.

"That thief today was really abominable, but I seemed to smell a very special scent on him just now..."

"Chu Weiyue, I am asking you a question, please answer me honestly."

"Your Majesty, you were really amazing just now. Thank you so much for saving me. How about I repay you with my body?"

Chu Weiyue smiled and answered the question irrelevantly, then moved closer to Wen Jingchi.

The man frowned and subconsciously dodged to the side.

"I don't need your reward. You'd better go back quickly to avoid encountering the heavy-flavored flower-stealing thief again!"

He looked at Chu Weiyue with contempt, turned away with disgust, and walked away.

Wen Chenxuan also saw the scene clearly from the side and immediately took his men to chase after him.

They thought they could successfully capture this flower thief, but after chasing him for ten whole streets, they still couldn't find him.

They chased until they were one mile outside the capital city, then they stopped with their men. Taking a look at the endless roads and mountains, Wen Chenxuan's eyes went dark.

"This flower-stealing thief has now fled the capital. He must have been frightened and is heading to another place."

As long as they don't cause trouble in the capital, it doesn't matter to him where they go, his mission will be accomplished.

Wen Chenxuan also thought that the storm had passed, so he promptly lifted the ban on women going out at night.

At noon that day, Chu Weiyue had just finished lunch when she received a letter from Song Qiuchang, inviting her to a gathering at Wenqu Tower before dusk that day.

As soon as dusk fell, Chu Weiyue changed into simple clothes and came to Wenqu Tower alone.

Wenqu Tower is quite quiet today, with only a few literati and scholars admiring the paintings.

When we arrived at the hall, we saw a figure in light pink, who looked like an otherworldly fairy, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing Chu Weiyue walking towards her, Song Qiuchang smiled brightly.

"You are finally here. I have good news to tell you. Wen Jingchi is here today too..."

Song Qiuchang pointed to the innermost room to Chu Weiyue. The last time she came here, she knew that the room was usually occupied by scholars and literati who would listen to Taoist masters giving lectures.

"Thank you so much, sister. I'll go there now." Chu Weiyue pretended to be excited and strode inside.

After walking a few steps and looking back, she found that Song Qiuchang was whispering with a man, with a bit of shyness in her eyes.
