He looked at the sky outside and said, "It's going to be late for the Hanlin Academy."
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
Ji Yunxi subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Wu Weian turned around, lowered his head, and his eyes fell on her face.
His ending tone was very light, as light as a petal falling from a branch outside the yard: "What?"
Ji Yunxi withdrew her hand and instructed seriously, "Hurry! Don't waste any time! Don't give the Fifth Prince a chance to speak! Don't say a single word to him. I'm afraid he might have reinforcements."
From the perspective of the book, from the perspective of the Fifth Prince, he is the protagonist, and she and Wu Weian are the villains.
Villains often die because they talk too much.

The night is as deep as water, and the stars and the moon are hidden behind thick dark clouds.
The Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The fifth prince sat quietly in the hall, making tea and waiting for someone.
At about one o'clock in the morning, the person he was waiting for arrived quietly.
The man, dressed in black, used the light skills he had taught himself and landed lightly in the hall.
She held a sword in her hand, and her black almond eyes looked at him quietly.
The Fifth Prince was in ruins. He said, "Aren't you going to take off the veil?"
Xing Shuyue closed her eyes and pulled down her mask.
"Why?" The Fifth Prince's tone was filled with deep pain.
It turns out this is what it feels like to be hurt by the one you love most. It's even more painful than when he witnessed his mother's death when he was young.
Xing Shuyue clenched the sword in her hand: "Your Highness, the hatred for my parents is irreconcilable."
She spoke each word softly, but her voice was stained with blood and tears.
No one knew how heartbroken she was when she learned that he was the murderer of her father.
The Fifth Prince sighed softly, "You really do know. Ji Yunxi told you at the Osmanthus Feast that day."
Xing Shuyue didn't say anything, just taking it as her agreement.
The clues Ji Yunxi gave were not comprehensive, but fragmented.
But Xing Shuyue is not stupid. She can tell some things at a glance.
But Xing Shuyue still didn't want to believe it. She checked bit by bit until she was completely heartbroken.
Over the years, Xing Shuyue has been following the Fifth Prince.
She understood him better than anyone else. He could kill her parents, gain her trust, and then use her.
He’d done it to others over the years.
Even under his guidance, Xing Shuyue did many things that harmed other people's families.
In order to protect the murderer of her father, she became a bloody executioner.
How ridiculous.
How sad.
Xing Shuyue's eyes were slightly sore, but she could no longer cry.
Her tears had long since dried up.
"If I had met you first." The Fifth Prince's hand holding the teapot couldn't help but tremble slightly. He said, "Shu Yue, if I had met you first, I wouldn't have attacked your parents. Absolutely not."
Xing Shuyue smiled bleakly: "Now that things have come to this, is there any use in saying this?"
"Yes, the world is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us." The fifth prince poured the water in the pot into the cup. He used to make tea without leaking a drop, but now, most of it leaked out and the table was covered with water stains.
He closed his eyes, his tone pleading: "Shu Yue, can't you, can't you let this go? Let's both let this go, okay? Let's leave Shangjing together and go somewhere else, to a place where no one knows us..."
Having said that, the Fifth Prince opened his eyes and looked at Xing Shuyue. When his gaze met hers, the Fifth Prince was speechless.
Xing Shuyue's eyes were full of sarcasm.
She knew him better than he knew himself, so she knew that this was absolutely impossible.
Xing Shuyue: "Your Highness, it's impossible. You can't give up everything in the court, and neither can I."
Ever since she came back from the Osmanthus Banquet that day, she had nightmares every night and dreamed of her parents every day.
In her dream, her parents smiled at her, so gently, so lovingly. But as they smiled, blood began to flow from her eyes and nose. Every inch of her body was covered in blood, blood.
But they still called her softly: "Ayue, Ayue, Ayue..."
The fifth prince nodded, stood up from his seat and walked towards Xing Shuyue step by step.
Xing Shuyue clenched the sword in her hand and used all her strength not to take even a single step back.
The fifth prince stretched out his hand and covered the five fingers holding her sword.
It's ridiculous. He even taught her how to use a sword.
He pointed the tip of the sword directly at his heart: "A life for a life, Shu Yue, I will not hide."
The whole sword suddenly trembled, and Xing Shuyue was shaking all over.
She looked at the face in front of her, the person.
Apart from her parents, she only has him.
Xing Shuyue swore that in this life, she would protect him, help him become emperor, and ensure that he would live a peaceful and happy life.
But, but, but...
Why does God play such tricks on people?
Xing Shuyue gritted her teeth, her eyes turned cold, and the sword went straight towards his heart.
With a "swish" sound, the sword cut through the clothes and pierced into the flesh, and blood gushed out instantly.
But at the most critical moment, when the tip of the sword was about to pierce the beating heart, Xing Shuyue turned her wrist and dodged it.
A tear welled up in her eye, but before it could fall, a knife pierced her heart from behind.
With a "puff", Xing Shuyue spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into the arms of the fifth prince.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
The knife was not only fast, accurate and ruthless, but also stained with poison.
Xing Shuyue died in the fifth prince's arms without uttering a single word.
The Fifth Prince's eyes were bloodshot, and he fell to his knees, holding his beloved, grief-stricken: "No!!!"
As the two fell, the person behind Xing Shuyue revealed his face.
This is the fifth prince's most caring and loyal secret guard. He used to protect the fifth prince's mother and protected him after his mother's death.
Before Xing Shuyue came, the fifth prince had given instructions to the other party.
If, if Xing Shuyue really tried to kill him, let the other party kill Xing Shuyue.
