The leaves rustled in the summer breeze. The sunlight shone through the cracks on her body, casting mottled shadows.

Yi Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him: "Muyi, I'm not wrong, am I?"

Mu Yi'an seemed to have not heard her words as he soullessly walked forward. The once familiar scenery had now become unfamiliar, as if he had never seen it before.

"Muyi?" Yi Xiaoqiao followed him closely. She wanted to ask him to give her an answer, but he didn't have the slightest reaction.

"You don't need to be so sad. If you continue to follow her, then it will be more troublesome. In the future, she will cause your death …" Yi Xiaoqiao's voice came to an abrupt stop as a hint of fear flashed across his widened eyes.

Although she and Muyi had been together for some time, he had never used such a terrifying gaze to look at her. For a moment, she felt like she was about to be torn apart by him.

She subconsciously stood still and didn't dare to follow.

"Little Qiao, what are you doing!" The altar walked past her with food in hand and kicked her. "Go, go! What are you standing there for!?"

Even if Muyi wanted to eat someone, she had to get the jade token back and leave. Otherwise, she might really die with Muyi, not to mention she would never see her parents again here. She didn't even know how her parents were doing right now, whether it was good or bad?

"Muyi …" Yi Xiaoqiao followed him all the way back to the study.

After closing the door, Yi Xiaoqiao quickly walked over to his side, "Muyi, you should know that I'm not lying. You should have already given me the item, right?"

Mu Yi'an stood as straight as a pine tree, his eyes moving around as he looked at her sideways: "For you what?"

"Jade plates, I'm right, I'm not lying to you, right?" Yi Xiaoqiao stretched out his hand.

Mu Yi An sneered, "When did I say I would give it to you?"

This...

Yi Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes and was silent for a moment.

"Besides, how do you know all this?" Mu Yi An approached her step by step, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through her heart.

Yi Xiaoqiao subconsciously retreated. "I …" Didn't I already say it? I can predict, I... I can divine destiny! "

Mu Yi An looked down at her condescendingly. "Destiny telling?"

Yi Xiaoqiao nodded, recalling what was about to happen. She calmly said, "Very soon, Princess Yun Jiao will come looking for you."

Mu Yi An sneered, "You don't think I'm really waiting for the prince, do you?"

Yi Xiaoqiao was stunned and pointed at him. "Could it be that you …"

"Of course she would come to find me. Eunuch Li represents the emperor, so how could the prince dare to be negligent? Even if he wanted to tell me something, he wouldn't come right away."

"You … You know that Princess Yun Jiao will come for you! " Yi Xiaoqiao was shocked. She only knew about it after reading a book, but she didn't think that Muyi An would be able to guess it as well.

Are all the brains of the ancients so useful?

Mu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking like he couldn't be bothered with her. He said lightly: "Even if you want to be a swindler, you have to at least learn to read words and see appearance. A person like you …"

He lazily swept her with his gaze. "I think it's better if I go home to practice."

"I …" Yi Xiaoqiao was truly angered to death by him. This damn man, she had reminded him just for his own good, and he had actually ignored her. This was too much!

"Muyi, let me tell you, if you continue to be with her, there won't be a good ending. She'll kill you …" "Ugh!" Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes widened as she stared at him speechlessly.

His large hand covered her mouth and nose, and the faint scent of a man assaulted her sense of smell.

Because her head was locked in place, she couldn't struggle free and could only stare at him in confusion.

Suddenly, Mu Yi'an pushed her inside, pushing her behind the screen.

At the same time, the door creaked open and a figure entered.

The crowd was noisy outside, and Yi Xiaoqiao had actually noticed the sound of footsteps. Hiding behind the screen, she took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Princess Yun Jiao. She thought to herself weirdly, she clearly remembered that the place where Princess Yun Jiao and Mu Yi An met wasn't here.

One of them was that he and Princess Yun Jiao had long since arranged for a relationship. Before they had even entered the palace, they had a secret meeting with Mu Yi An in the Prince's Mansion's Hearing Wind Hall and had been caught by Eunuch Li.

He didn't know if it was because he wanted to be sure or because the location of the character was very clear, so Yi Xiaoqiao remembered it clearly. Seeing the vivid scene in front of him, he naturally thought of it.

With a flash, the two of them had already exchanged a few words. No one knew what they had said, but Princess Yun Jiao turned and walked out.

Yi Xiaoqiao watched from the screen and couldn't help but to open her eyes wide, thinking, could it be that she wanted to go to the Wind Listening Hall?

Mu Yi An stood there without moving.

Princess Yun Jiao was about to open the door when she heard no sound from behind her. She anxiously looked at him and stomped her foot. "Brother An."

"You and I don't have anything to be ashamed of. Why should we be afraid of him?"

"People's words are fearsome. Brother An, have you never heard of it?"

A trace of ridicule flashed across Mu Yi'an's face. "Oh, I forgot. The present you and I are different from the past. You are already destined to be the Empress within the palace."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and called out respectfully, "Great Empress."

"You …" Yun Jiao's eyes were red and she had a pained expression. Her tears fell like pearls as she said in a blood-weeping voice, "Brother An, it's not like you don't understand my heart. Why are you saying such words to anger me?"

Mu Yi'an became silent, lowering his head and not saying anything.

Yi Xiaoqiao really wanted to rush up and give her two slaps. If she remembered correctly, the book had said that she and the emperor had met outside of the palace, then it was a good story, and now she said that she didn't do it on purpose? How is this possible!?

She secretly told herself that Yun Jiao was extremely scheming, but Muyi was completely enchanted by her feelings and gradually softened. He didn't last long and followed her out of the study.

Yi Xiaoqiao did not go through the door. Instead, she went through the window and ran straight to the backyard to hide.

At this moment, that place had long since been abandoned. Yi Xiaoqiao hid in the vicinity of the Wind Listening Hall for a while, and indeed saw Yun Jiao bringing Mu Yi An over. The two of them quietly entered the Wind Listening Hall.

She carefully walked over and looked through the broken window. The two of them were standing there talking, but they didn't do anything excessive or cuddle. She listened attentively, and Yun Jiao seemed to be crying.

"Eunuch Li, why have you come?"

At this moment, Cui Huan's raised voice came from the entrance of the garden.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Gonggong saw that Eunuch Li was walking quickly and nimbly towards the direction of the Listening Wind Hall. It was obvious that he was heading towards there.

Cui Huan rushed forward to stop him, "Eunuch Li, you can't enter here!"

Eunuch Li smashed Cui Huan to the ground with a slap. "Little b * tch, you actually dared to stop me without even seeing who this eunuch is! "Search every nook and cranny of this place."
