"Go, Princess Consort. You can't fall into their hands." Lady Xu shook her head and forcefully pushed her.

Seeing that the big sized men were getting closer, Yu Yan made up her mind, and said softly: "You hide well, I will lure them away."

Lady Xu was stunned. She wanted to pull her over, but she nimbly leapt up, grabbed her robe and ran into the depths of the alleyway. From afar, her clear voice could be heard, "Come and catch me, idiot."

Lady Xu stuffed her fists into her mouth, trembling with nervousness as she murmured softly, "Blessed gods, bless the Empress …"

When Yu Yan arrived under the flower tree, she smelt a fishy smell and suddenly realized where she was! She was outside the masked man's small courtyard. Without a word, she climbed up the tree and jumped over the wall, squatting at the base of the wall.

He heard the sound of breathing, and slowly turned his head. He saw the White Lion staring at her with its eyes wide open.

"Brother Lion, I'll squat for a while, don't get angry." Yu Yan was so scared that she started to knot his fists together, expressing her goodwill to it.

The White Lion tilted its head, swung its long tail, and slowly stood up. Its large head was placed right in front of her eyes, and its large eyes were blinking as it slowly opened its large mouth.

Yu Yan covered his mouth with both of her hands, her entire body frozen in place. Just as the lion's mouth was about to bite her head, a low alcohol teasing voice came out from above his head.

"Little Cousin, you've come so late to give your life for October. How should I thank you?"

The lion's mouth stopped open, closed, and turned to look at the masked man. He wore a black robe, a bronze mask, and three feet of black hair. He wore cloth shoes with heels.

Yu Yan helped the tree stand up, wiped off her cold sweat and said softly, "Someone is chasing after me, come in and hide."

"Chase you?" He sneered and slowly walked closer. His finger lifted her lower jaw as he coldly asked, "Did that useless husband of little cousin come to find me because he couldn't satisfy you?"

Yu Yan frowned, brushed his hand away and said unhappily: "You know about this too, I'm impressed."

Just as he was speaking, the group of fierce men caught up and shouted from the outside, "It's here. Watch him run in."

"Climb over the wall, go find him. No matter whose house it is, drag him out for me. I will have a good night of fun with this damn brat."

The white lion smelled the men, wagged its tail excitedly, and strode toward the door.

"Whose things did you steal?" the masked man asked coldly.

The corner of Yu Yan's mouth slightly curled, and did not make a sound.

"Then go out." The masked man grabbed her arm and threw her over the wall.

"Hey …" Yu Yan was shocked, she subconsciously hugged onto his arm tightly and said anxiously: "Help me, I will thank you."

He lowered his eyes to look at the woman hanging on his body. The light in his black eyes suddenly dimmed, and he grabbed her slender waist, pressing her against the flower tree.

Since she was separated by the bronze mask, Yu Yan could feel the scorching heat of his breath.

"Little cousin, I forgot, today's 15 …"

Yu Yan's body stiffened.

There was a commotion at the top of the wall, and the men really did climb over the wall and were about to jump down.

"Kid, give him to us." One by one, the men jumped into the yard and surrounded the two.

"Oh, do you want him?" The masked man slowly turned around and stared at them.

"Are you singing? Wearing such a damned thing! " A big man pointed at him and laughed loudly.

"Yeah, singing." The masked man laughed in a low voice. With a brush of his sleeve, the person who laughed fell forward and stopped talking.

The courtyard was silent for a moment. Everyone stared at the large puddle of blood on the ground. Suddenly, they felt a chill wantonly crawl up their feet, as if it had fallen into an ice hole …

"They're a gang. Kill them." Someone finally reacted, shouted bravely, drew his sword and pounced towards the two of them.

The masked man still didn't move. With a few sharp sounds, the group of men fell to the ground.

Yu Yan smelled the stench of blood, and she felt sick to her stomach, when she heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

"He seems to have entered this place …"

The masked guy's pupils contracted as he turned around to look at Yu Yan and asked, "Just how many people did you attract?"

Yu Yan covered her lips with both hands, her face turned to the side, not looking at the pool of blood on the ground, she shook her head, she could not speak, she would puke.

The wind blew past, blowing the masked man's long hair into the air. A murderous aura gathered around his body. With a wave of his sleeve, two black shadows flashed out from the shadows like two roc's, flew out of the yard like a gale, and landed back in the blink of an eye.

"You, who are you?" When Jin Fu finished his questioning, he saw a pool of blood all over the ground. His eyes were wide open, and just as he was about to shout out, the man in black behind him pointed at his acupoints, making him unable to speak.

"Is there anyone else?" The masked guy slowly walked over and stared at Jin Fu as he asked.

Jin Fu nodded again and again. When he saw Shi Yan's cold eyes, he shook his head again and again. Then, he collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud.

Yu Yan calmed down a little. This man was not simple! Just what kind of person was capable of giving him this ability? She walked over slowly and suddenly reached out to take off his mask …

This time, the masked man didn't dodge. She took off his mask …

The courtyard was pitch black. There was no light or moon, and layers of dark clouds were piled up, blocking out the only light. He stood sideways to her, his black hair fluttering in the wind. He looked just like a statue with unparalleled domineering aura.

Yu Yan's breathing became heavier and heavier as she reached out to pull on his shoulder. At that moment, he suddenly raised her wide sleeves to cover her face. Her other hand grabbed her slender waist, and with a twist of her body, he pressed her down on the tree.

"Little cousin, you will have to pay the price after seeing my face."

"I haven't seen it yet." Yu Yan tugged on her sleeves, but he pressed down on her hand and kissed across her sleeve. The ice-cold silk cloth covered his face. It was so smooth that it seemed as if it would slide down at any moment.

"You want to touch it?" He took her hand and gently put it in his face.

Yu Yan's fingertips touched an ice-cold face, and she gathered her courage to continue stroking it. His eyes and her long eyelashes trembled slightly under her fingers, making her itch.

"Do you like it?" He kissed her mouth again through the silk.

Yu Yan reacted and struggled for a bit.

"Let me see what this is." He took the stack of sketches and pulled it out, and with his other hand he reached for the mask she still held in her hand. He turned around and put it on his face.

"Give it back to me." His sleeves slid off her face, causing Yu Yan to jump up to grab the painting.

"Heh, what is this drawing? Little Cousin is such a romantic! " Laughing lowly, he continued to look around as he walked into the room.

A bean-sized lamp was lit on the table, filling the room with dim light. He laughed for a moment, then stopped and turned to stare at her.

Yu Yan was standing in the center of the courtyard with her back full of cold sweat.

Just now, all the men in the yard had disappeared. How many people were there in this yard, how much ability did they have, and how much skill did they have? The fragrance of the flowers and plants drifted around the courtyard. There was not a single trace of blood in the air, and the white lion was gone as well. She was the only one standing in the empty courtyard as the moon climbed out from behind the clouds.

"Little Cousin, come in." He sat down at the table, picked up the teapot and poured two bowls of tea.

Yu Yan walked over slowly and asked softly: "They're all dead? Where's Jin Fu? "

"Which rich guy?" The man looked over and asked coldly.

"The last person we caught was called Jin Fu. His little sister married the capital's vice commander, Pang An, to be her concubine. She was very favored by nature, so she ran rampant. If he disappeared for no reason, it would bring trouble." Yu Yan frowned slightly. If the officials investigate this matter, they would definitely find Lady Xu and drag her into it.

"Don't worry." His eyes twinkled as he lightly said, "You're my woman, so I'll take care of it for you."

Yu Yan blushed, and quickly went over to grab the painting, "Who's your woman, return the painting to me."

"Who is this drawing?" He took her hand and held it in his lap, pointing to the man in the painting.

"It's not you, anyway." Yu Yan thought about Yulixiao's ugly face, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

The man on the painting also had a scar on his face. His face was handsome and exuded an evil aura, like the King Xiao she had imagined.

The man's pupils contracted as he placed his large palm on her face. Lowering his head, he stared into her eyes and asked, "Why did Jin Fu want to capture you?"

"You're so amazing, go check for yourself." Yu Yan pushed his hands and said softly: "I'm going. If I don't return within two hours, I'll get killed. Do good every day and let me go quickly."

"That useless man of yours will punish you?"

He took her small hand and ran his thumb over it.

"Be a bit more polite when you speak. You are being honest, why don't you let me see your face?"

Although Yu Yan didn't like men to slander men, she didn't like men to slander men.

"You're really getting more and more interesting. Since it's this interesting, you might as well do something even more interesting." He narrowed his eyes, placed both hands under her armpits, and pushed her onto the table. He then raised the painting in front of her and said in a deep voice, "Let's just play along with this one."

Hearing that, Yu Yan became anxious, she was just about to kick him, but was stopped by him with one hand, and pierced her acupuncture points. The green ribbon around her waist was untied, covering her eyes.

Yu Yan could not move, she was sweating anxiously.

Not returning within two hours and also doing things between a man and woman, if there were any traces left behind, it would be terrible if Chen Yao had some clues left behind.

"Is Little Cousin very hot?" He took off his mask and ran his fingers slowly down her smooth cheek, all the way down to her collarbone.

"It's not hot." The corner of her mouth pursed into a smile as she replied.

His gaze darkened, and a tinge of moisture slowly appeared on his handsome face. It was as if a handful of stars had fallen into his eyes, and his eyes shone with an intimidating brilliance.

"Master …" "The matter has been settled. It's time to go back …" Someone called from outside.

"Step down." He reprimanded her coldly.

He took a few steps back. From the window, he could see two thin figures quickly moving away. They were both experts.

"Let me go back …" "I have a husband …" Yu Yan's lips trembled as she quietly begged for forgiveness.

"Your husband has been crippled. He can't satisfy you." he said slowly, taking her in his arms.

Yu Yan bit her lower lip. She wanted to kill her thousands and tens of thousands of times before she could finally tear her into pieces.

"Even though my little cousin is angry, she still looks that pretty. What should I do? I'm a bit unwilling to let go, so you shouldn't go back. Anyway, that person is a piece of trash." His hot lips pressed against her cheek, his long, callused fingers picking at her jaw.

Yu Yan swept a glance across him and fell silent.

"You don't want to talk to me? "Heh …" He laughed and stroked her cheek for a long time before suddenly pinching her earlobe.

Yu Yan only felt his strength suddenly increase. She screamed and almost pierced her throat, "How can you pull my ear?"

She covered her ears and glared at him.

"I thought you were dumb …" He smiled lowly, lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, "Princess Yu Yan …"

Yu Yan was startled, but a strand of coldness rose in her heart. Right after, he brushed it with her palm, and a strand of an insidious fragrance entered her nose. Her eyelids gradually closed, and she could no longer see her face clearly.

Yu Yan crawled up with a gulp, and discovered that she was actually sleeping under the camellias behind the palace. This patch of pink, heavy camellias was as big as a small bowl, blooming angrily and emitting a delicate fragrance in the slightly cold air.
