As soon as Ji Fengyao entered the palace gate, she saw a little eunuch peeking around in the distance.
He sighed inwardly:
If she were to fall into the hands of these people, she would rather die than have them lift a finger.
How blind must one be to not see such a large person staring at them?
Considering the other party's low intelligence, Ji Fengyao didn't bother with any pretense or preamble, and directly led Lin Shuang and Xi Que towards the Cold Palace.
Ji Fengyao herself didn't know the way, but Lin Shuang was very familiar with the palace.
The little eunuch followed them all the way, and when he saw Ji Fengyao and her two servants enter Shang Beiyu's residence, he happily turned back to report.
Ji Fengyao stopped behind the main hall gate, and as soon as the little eunuch left, she turned around and came out.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Shang Beiyu's uncertain soft call from behind: "Ninth Prince's Consort?"
Ji Fengyao was surprised that Shang Beiyu would come out at this time, and turned around unexpectedly: "Third Prince".
"Did you come here specifically to see me? Why are you standing here instead of going in?" Shang Beiyu's eyes were filled with delight.
"Um, not today, let's do it another day, I have to go now," Ji Fengyao said somewhat anxiously.
Since those people are planning to "catch the adulterers," they certainly won't stay too far; they're probably already on their way.
If they saw her with the Third Prince, she would really be shooting herself in the foot.
Hearing her say this, Shang Beiyu was even more puzzled: "Why? We're already inside. Going in for a cup of tea won't take you too long."
"Someone wants to harm us, so I can't go in right now. Sigh, it's hard to explain right now. I'll explain to you another day," Ji Fengyao said, then quickly led Lin Shuang and Xi Que away via another route.
Shang Beiyu stood still, quietly watching Ji Fengyao and her two servants leave.
Ji Fengyao told Lin Shuang to randomly choose an inconspicuous, dilapidated palace and stay there with Xi Que. Xi Que, upon hearing that Ji Fengyao was going to abandon her, absolutely refused.
“You’re not as fast as me. I’ll lure the person over here later. You and Lin Shuang will be responsible for catching them,” Ji Fengyao said as she changed into her black, masked attire, trying to persuade Xi Que.
The magpie then gave up, but still earnestly advised, "Miss, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, this is the Cold Palace, there are not many guards. If they want to frame someone, they certainly won't bring many people. I can handle it," Ji Fengyao said confidently. Her figure was as agile as a cat, and she disappeared into the dilapidated palace with a few light leaps.
She possesses a powerful spirit and an excellent memory; she can remember a path she has walked once.
So as long as she doesn't wander into unfamiliar depths of the Cold Palace, finding her again will be no problem at all.
Ji Fengyao lurked on the road leading to the Third Prince's residence, having prepared hundreds of kinds of poisons for her tormentors in her storage space.
She would never easily forgive anyone who dared to plot against her and take her life!
Before long, two unfamiliar women came downstairs.
Ji Fengyao couldn't help but wonder: Who is this? Is he someone who wants to harm her?
But she didn't know them at all, so why would they want to harm her?
Just as they were wondering what was going on, seven or eight more people arrived from the same direction. They were none other than the excited Shang Chuyue and her palace maids Caiqin and Xiao Luzi, as well as a few followers she had just bribed.
Upon seeing the two women blocking the road ahead, Shang Chuyue immediately stopped, quite surprised: "Eldest Sister? What are you doing here?"
"Moon, I also want to ask you, what are you doing here?" Shang Yuelang spoke in a calm tone, indicating that she already knew everything.
