The sky slowly brightened.
The wind carried the coolness of the night, blowing at the corners of her clothes, her hair, and her face. It was so cold that it made people feel refreshed.
"Miss, this is too dangerous. The general said that you are not allowed to leave the manor." Peaches was carefully reminding her from behind.
"How am I going to find evidence to prove my innocence if I don't go out!" She finally understood that even though Mu Yi'an repeatedly let her go, he didn't believe her words in his heart. If he went back on his word one day, she really wouldn't be able to cry.
Peach's eyes were shining: Innocent? Could it be that even his innocence was gone? Was her family's general so ambitious?
"Go and take a look first, if any of their men appear, then knock them out." Yi Xiaoqiao gave Peaches a look.
Peach really wanted to refuse, but seeing her resolute expression, she then thought about it and realized that Yi Xiaoqiao had already given her innocence to the general. She suddenly felt discouraged and quietly reminded, "If you do that, the general will really be angry."
"If you have the ability, then just make him die from anger."
She was so angry that she just happened to take back her jade token and run away!
"…" Peach sighed. He had already given her her innocence, yet she was still cursing her death. A girl like Yi Xiaoqiao was definitely something he had never seen in his life before.
"All right, girl."
Yi Xiaoqiao ran out, and the two of them circled around the people from King Yu's Estate and carefully left from the back alley.
"We're here."
Peach looked closely and couldn't help but open his mouth wide. "Miss, did we go the wrong way?"
If she had said she was coming to King Yu's estate, why would she have knocked those people out and been captured instead?
"You're right, I'm here to look for someone."
"To whom?" Peach asked curiously.
Before she could finish, she saw a person walk out of the side door of King Yu's Estate. She was carrying a large wooden bucket, which was clearly very heavy, to the point that she had to bend down.
"Altar." Yi Xiaoqiao waved at her.
The altar made a silencing gesture, put the swill bucket to the side, then quickly ran over: "Why are you here? The princess knows that you've disappeared and has gotten very angry. She was just asking them to look for you! "
"I already know …" Yi Xiaoqiao looked left and right, giving Peach a meaningful glance, "Go and help me watch over it. Don't let anyone find out."
"Alright."
"Why are you looking for me?" the altar asked.
Yi Xiaoqiao leaned into her ear and asked in a low voice, "Where did you put Princess Yun Jiao's letter?"
The altar immediately pulled a long face, "What do you mean put away? Of course it's burned. Didn't I tell you last time?"
"That's a heartless letter, you're willing to burn it? Why can't you stay and be the scapegoat for Yun Jiao? " Yi Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
The eyes of the altar darted around in silence.
Yi Xiaoqiao turned serious and said in a deep voice, "Altar, I hope you have not burned it. Otherwise, you and I will most likely die without a burial."
When the altar heard this, it became nervous. "Why? "I …"
"Yun Jiao created a fake distress letter for Muyi. You should understand what it means for us if we believe her." Yi Xiaoqiao held her by the shoulder. "If this letter is true, then you and I will be the ones to secretly frame Yun Jiao, causing Muyi to be unable to receive the letter in time to save her. Do you know what will happen then?"
The altar was frightened by her serious voice as it blankly shook its head.
"At that time, Mu Yi An won't think that it was Yun Jiao betraying him. Instead, he will vent all his anger on us and definitely take care of you and me. The two of us will only die without a burial ground."
The altar opened its mouth wide. "Then... "Then what should we do?"
"It's very simple. Take out the letter and show it to Muyi."
The altar didn't dare to hesitate any longer. It hurriedly opened the corner of its clothes and took out a letter from inside. "Here it is."
Yi Xiaoqiao looked at the shattered letter and raised his eyebrows. "Why aren't you sticking to it?"
"Isn't it easy to be discovered if I stick to it? No one would be able to tell what it is if I stick to it like this."
Yi Xiaoqiao chuckled. "I should really thank you for not washing the clothes."
Otherwise, if she washed these small fragments one by one, not even dregs would remain.
The altar beamed, "Don't worry, I took them all out in advance."
"..." "Smart, smart." Yi Xiaoqiao kept the letter and instructed the altar to stay in the mansion properly, not revealing any flaws. He also agreed to save her when there was a chance in the future. Only then did he leave with Peach Blossom.
She did not return to the manor. Instead, she went to an inn and found some paste and paper to put together those small pieces of paper.
As it was a matter of life and death, Yi Xiaoqiao did not dare to be negligent. Every single one of them was cautious, fearing that something might go wrong.
"Miss, what are you sticking to?" Peach asked curiously.
"Shh, don't say anything, it blew away."
She even blew it away, waiting in the room in boredom. After waiting for a while, Peaches simply turned around and left the room, since she would probably have to leave this pile of debris for a long time anyway. She might as well take advantage of this time to take a look around.
Yi Xiaoqiao was engrossed in writing letters. Just as he was done, the door to the room was pushed open.
"Miss! Miss!" Tao Zi hurriedly ran in.
"What's wrong?" Yi Xiaoqiao glared at her. "Why are you so flustered?"
"Princess Yun Jiao is here." Peaches lowered her voice.
Yi Xiaoqiao subconsciously kept the letter. "What did you say?"
"I saw her enter the Sky Room with a man."
What?
Yi Xiaoqiao moved closer to the door and carefully looked outside. Unfortunately, she did not see anything. "Are you sure? Did you see what he looked like?"
Peach shook his head. "No, that person has an expert by his side. I don't dare to approach him."
"Why didn't you see clearly? Maybe it was that person who put on the green hat for Muyi."
"…" Peach was speechless. Her emotions were complicated, and inexplicably, she was even a bit angry. She stomped her feet and walked outside.
"What are you doing?" Yi Xiaoqiao stopped her.
"I... "Let me see who dares to bully my general!" Peach was so angry.
"Enough, don't be anxious. He has an expert by his side. If you go and look for him, wouldn't you be sending yourself into a trap?" If we go back and alert them, how are we going to catch them? " Yi Xiaoqiao gave her a look. "Don't be impatient, just wait and see."
Although that was the case, little Qiao was also very anxious. It had to be known that she was currently being suspected by Mu Yi'an. If he caught Princess Yun Jiao's little braid at this time, wouldn't he be able to smoothly shut Muyi's mouth? With this, what else could there be? Not to mention the fact that the letters were useless, it didn't matter even if they turned into ashes.
"How about this, you go and find Muyi."
"Huh?"
"There's definitely something wrong with Princess Yunjiao's sneaking around. Even if it's not a private meeting, it's still a bad thing. Go tell Muyi that he's here to arrest her."
Peach had also calmed down at this moment. She knew that if she acted rashly, it would most likely be a bad thing.
"Miss, I have to remind you that my family's general and princess are childhood sweethearts. If you can't catch them, then you are slandering the princess. If you do, then you will die for the sake of protecting the princess' reputation."
Peach trembled and carefully asked, "Are you sure you want me to tell the general?"
Little Joe cried: Why are you ancients so hard to serve? She did it to help him!
