After packing up, the two of them went out.
Xiaohong looked at the road, a little confused, "Girl, isn't this the road to the palace? What are we doing here?"
Because the imperial palace is just ahead, there are very few people here. After all, no one dares to cross the emperor's feet. Moreover, everyone who comes here is extraordinary. Ordinary people usually don't walk here unless they have something to do, for fear of offending someone.
"Let's wait here. I've already inquired. The Fourth Prince comes to the morning court every day and walks back and forth along this road. If we just wait here, we will definitely be able to see the Fourth Prince."
Lin Yueran was already feeling a little excited, she really wanted to see him.
"But most of the people here are dignitaries, and I'm a little worried." Xiaohong felt a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, we're just waiting here. We're not going inside, so why are you worried?"
Lin Yueran glanced at her and thought to herself, she has no vision at all. If she goes to the Fourth Master's Mansion in the future, she must not be allowed to be so timid again.
Otherwise, how can I become her right-hand man in the future?
"But, I always feel a little uneasy, young lady, why don't we go back first?"
Xiaohong was really scared, especially since this place was very close to the imperial palace. If anything happened, their lives would be in danger.
Lin Yueran looked displeased when she saw him like this, and said angrily, "You are my man after all, you can't be so timid. Besides, I am the master, and what I say is what it is. You just need to do as I say."
When Xiaohong saw that the girl was angry, even though she felt a little uneasy, she kept her mouth shut and didn't dare to say anything.
The two of them came to a corner of the wall, from where they could just see the road. If someone passed by, Lin Yueran would also be able to see it.
"Okay, let's just wait here."
Xiaohong didn't dare to say anything because she had just been taught a lesson, and just stood behind her silently.
Not long after, a low-key and luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the palace.
When passing by here, the prince who was resting in the carriage heard the words of the guards outside, opened his eyes, raised his hand to lift the gently swaying curtain, and looked outside. The carriage happened to pass by this section, and Lin Yueran happened to look over at this time, and their eyes met, but Lin Yueran didn't care too much, and looked away after a while.
After the carriage passed by, the prince withdrew his hand, fanned himself leisurely with the fan, but his eyes were mysterious and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Miss, that carriage came out of the palace and just glanced at us. Why don't we leave first?"
Xiaohong was really scared. This place was too close to the palace. What if someone saw them and thought they had bad intentions and arrested them?
"Oh, it was just a quick glance. What could have happened? Just stay quiet or go back by yourself."
Lin Yueran was a little angry when she saw her timid and cowardly look. She had never seen her like this before. Why did she become so timid after coming to the capital?
This time, Xiaohong was completely afraid to speak anymore and just stood quietly aside.
However, what disappointed Lin Yueran was that she had been waiting here for most of the day but had not seen the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master had gone to the military camp outside the city for something today and did not enter the palace.
When they went back, Lin Yueran was very upset. Xiaohong didn't dare to say anything and just followed behind silently.
Just as they walked into the alley and were about to return to the house they had bought, several masked men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
Lin Yueran pulled Xiaohong in panic, and both of them had horror on their faces. "Who are you and what do you want to do?" Lin Yueran shouted loudly in a trembling voice.
Several men in black approached them step by step without saying a word.
Lin Yueran felt something was wrong and was about to shout for help: "Help..."
Before they could finish shouting, two men in black strode forward and each of them slashed with a knife, and the two of them fainted instantly.

As night falls, the bright moonlight shines on the ground, adding a touch of soft color to the dark and silent night.
The Fourth Master did not come back today. Wen Mianmian remembered what happened yesterday and asked Shancha to bring the playing cards that Niu Hulu and Tian Xin brought yesterday.
"Master, you want to play this, how about my Shannai come over and play with you." Shancha handed the poker cards in her hand to her, thinking that the concubine was bored and wanted to use this to kill time.
"No, I just want to take a look." Wen Mianmian took the playing cards from her hand and looked through them one by one.
Seeing Shancha still standing aside, Wen Mianmian looked up at her and said, "Shancha, you go down first. I'll be alone for a while."
Shancha didn't think much about it, just responded and walked out.
Wen Mianmian was staring at the playing cards in a trance. At this moment, Xiaobai ran in quickly from outside. When he entered the door, his feet suddenly slipped and he almost fell. He stabilized his body and quickly jumped onto her legs.
Wen Mianmian, who was lost in thought, was startled. When she came to her senses and saw that it was Xiaobai, she put down the playing cards in her hand and grabbed the back of its neck in annoyance and scolded it:
"Xiaobai, how many times have I told you not to jump on me casually? You just scared me."
"Mianmian, please let me go first. I didn't mean it," Xiaobai begged for mercy when he saw the back of her neck holding back her fate.
Then, with a lingering fear, he continued, "Something big happened to me just now. You almost couldn't see me. Don't you want to know what happened to me just now?"
Wen Mianmian lifted it off her body, loosened its neck, patted the dirty places on her body that it had stepped on, and glanced at it. "Big deal, what big deal?"
"I just went out for a walk, guess who I saw." Xiaobai deliberately said half and left the other half.
Wen Mianmian glared at it and said, "Whether you want to tell me or not, I don't particularly want to hear it if you don't." She turned her head and ignored it.
Xiaobai got a little anxious when he saw it, "No, no, no, just listen to me and tell you slowly."
Then Xiaobai told Wen Mianmian what happened while he was taking a walk.
It turned out that when Xiaobai was being taken for a walk by the eunuch, he happened to meet Niu Hulu Tianxin. Niu Hulu Tianxin came over when he saw him.
At first, she pretended to say a few nice words, and then, when the eunuch accompanying Xiaobai was sent away, she took out something and tried to trick it into eating.
But Xiaobai is not the kind of little white tiger who knows nothing. When she took out the pastry, she smelled a strange smell in it. It was obvious that the pastry was drugged.
Xiaobai didn't know what the woman wanted to do, but she actually fed it with drugged pastries, which seemed to indicate that she had bad intentions.
