Hmm, this face looks familiar.
"My lord, my master said that although this place is remote, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, please do not make a fuss, act carefully, and sneak into the mansion." At this moment, the thin man was whispering with the Prefect of the Capital.
Though the sound was faint and distant, Yu Qingyi could hear it clearly, and the man beside him, who, though silent, exuded an air of nobility, heard it even more clearly.
The Prefect of Jingzhao was a middle-aged man, slightly overweight, with broad eyebrows and a round face. He looked like someone who knew how to navigate the officialdom. Then, with a slight frown, he quietly gave instructions to those behind him.
"For the sake of the Prince's safety, I will sneak in through the back door first. When you see the firelight, it will be a signal from my lord. At that time, you can rush in."
"Yes, little guard, please rest assured, we will do our utmost to protect the wise prince."
Xie Lingqin nodded, then spoke a few polite words in a man's voice before stepping aside and heading towards the back door of the villa.
As soon as she reached the back door, Xie Lingqin took out a bottle from her bosom.
"Oil?" Yu Qingyi was startled and tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him. "Silent one, look! This kid is something else. What grudge does he have against Yuwen Xian? Yuwen Xian has been receiving a lot of attention from the Emperor lately. If this fire starts and the Prefect of the Capital rushes in, won't it be common knowledge that he had a secret rendezvous with the Second Miss of the General's Mansion? The Second Miss of the General's Mansion is a forbidden area now."
Yuwen Yao remained silent, his phoenix eyes fixed on the slender man pouring oil towards the back door. Then, looking at her, he reached into his robes, lit the fire, and tossed it into the air.
Therefore, the movements were swift and clean, without the slightest hesitation, and a chilling coldness seeped into his very bones in his eyes.
That's ruthless!
