As the night wore on, the moon hid itself in the clouds.

There was not a single shadow of a guard in the dazzling hall.

Lin Yichen stood alone by the window, looking at the dark sky.

After a long time, he regained his senses.

He looked down and lifted his right hand to stare at the jade pendant.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, "Are you not afraid that I won't give the jade pendant to her and won't let her go?"

"Of course he isn't afraid."

Suddenly, a female voice was heard.

Lin Yichen was startled, he kept the jade and looked over.

Under the night sky, a person dressed in black could be clearly seen. Although she was wearing a cloak, it was difficult to conceal her mysterious figure. However, her head was lowered, and her entire face was covered by a hood.

"It's you." Lin Yichen still recognized him instantly, and said coldly: "It's so late, what are you disguised as to come to our palace for?"

A slender jade hand extended out from under the cape, lifting up the hat to reveal an exquisite face — — It was none other than Former Imperial Consort Hai Hai Zhu.

"Ah Chen, I have something to discuss with you." Hai Zhu walked towards Lin Yichen with light steps.

"What is it?" Lin Yichen stared at her sharply, "What did you mean by that? What do you mean, of course he's not afraid? "

Hai Zhu lowered her head as she stood in front of the tall Lin Yichen.

She stared deeply at him, "Ah Chen, you know that with him here, it will be your greatest threat. "It is not easy for you to reach your current state. If you were to destroy everything because of a woman, it would not be worth it …"

"Shut up!" Lin Yichen's eyes flashed with traces of cold air, "It's not your turn to teach us what to do!"

"Yes!" I am not qualified to teach you. " Hai Zhu's face was filled with sullen anger, "But Ah Chen, ask your heart, in this world, other than me, who else would truly treat you like this?"

Lin Yichen looked at her and did not speak.

Hai Zhu took a deep breath, and retracted the sullen look on her face: "Ah Chen, I know, you are not deliberately being fierce towards me. In this world, we are the only ones who are of the same species. Do you understand? "

Her jade-like arm caressed the man's chest, slowly moving up, sliding across his neck and caressing his face.

"Ah Chen." Hai Zhu's eyes were like dazzling flames, radiating hot light as they tightly locked onto Lin Yichen's eyes, "Is he threatening you again … "Ugh!"

Before Hai Zhu could finish her last word, her neck was already grabbed.

Lin Yichen's face was green and cold: "Do you really think we are not aware that you have spies by our side? "A few days ago, I have yet to settle the score with you regarding the matter of you ordering Shadow to assassinate Little White."

"Ah …" "Wu Chen." Hai Zhu's neck was grabbed, her exquisite face instantly flushed red.

Because of Lin Yichen's words, those eyes were wide open, filled with terror and fear.

Her two hands held tightly onto Lin Yichen's hands as she struggled, "Release … "Let me go."

Lin Yichen did not really want to kill her either.

"I'm telling you, you'd better not be petty in front of me!"

"Cough!" Cough cough! " Hai Zhu took a few steps back to stabilize her body, one hand holding her neck, the other supporting the pillar behind him, she looked at the man in front of him with lingering fear.

Lin Yichen turned to look at her, not even sparing her a glance, and only coldly said: "If you stay in this palace peacefully, we will not treat you unfairly. If you continue to cause trouble, we will not let you off."

Hai Zhu's fingers that were supporting on the pillar grabbed down, the sharp nails leaving long scratches on the pillar.

She coughed lightly and walked forward fearlessly to stand beside Lin Yichen.

"Ah Chen, no matter what I've done, it was for your own good." Her voice trembled a little, "Since he threatened you and made you release that woman … "Why don't you just let her go …"

"Let her go?" Lin Yichen quickly turned around and stared at her, "What we want to do is our business! Hai Zhu, you still have not recognized your position. "

His voice was even colder than before, and at the same time, the warning was exceptionally obvious.

Hai Zhu's body lightly trembled.

He looked at the man in front of him, who had a natural demeanor, before taking a deep breath and saying, "No, I mean …"

She stopped talking before she could finish.

Lin Yichen's pupils shrank: "What do you mean?"

The corner of Hai Zhu's mouth raised into a smile, she stood on her tiptoes and leaned beside Lin Yichen's ear, and said in a low voice: "What I mean is … We can do this … "

Her voice was very soft, very soft, to the point where even Lin Yichen had to be very serious in order to hear her voice clearly.

But he did hear it.

Raising her head, she looked at Hai Zhu, and her eyes slightly narrowed.

Hai Zhu's smile captivated her, and she hid her blade behind her waist.

If Bai Su saw the two of them at this time, she would definitely scold them in disdain: colluding with others!

Day and night alternated as time flowed by.

Bai Su did not know how long she had been imprisoned in this dark room.

According to the food that was brought to her on time every day, it should have been three days, right?

Lin Yichen was so calm, what the hell was going on?

And Mu Yuntian, did he really run into the palace to die that foolishly? Was he really captured by Lin Yichen? Or could it be that Lin Yichen was simply lying to her?

Bai Su thought about it a lot, but she couldn't wrap her head around it.

The wall of this dark room was embedded with a Night Pearl, illuminating the entire dark room.

Bai Su had tried to find a switch to this secret room before, but to no avail.

If either Qin Mo or Mu Yuntian was around, he might be able to turn on the mechanism and let her out.

However, Mu Yuntian might be the same as her, imprisoned by Lin Yichen. As for Qin Mo, he had probably already left the Emperor along with the zither, and was on his way back to the Western Zither.

Since she could not sneak out of here, and could not count on anyone to save her, she could only wait for Lin Yichen to let her out.

Bai Su never thought that waiting like this would take three days.

Lin Yichen, your patience is really good.

In the end, she could not hold it in any longer. When the secret guard brought her food, she asked him to convey her meaning — — She was meeting Lin Yichen.

Maybe, Lin Yichen was deliberately trying to wear down her patience, trying to make her compromise.

Not long after she had asked the guard to convey her meaning, the door to the dark room opened.

Lin Yichen was dressed in Emperor Ming's robes, as though he had rushed over to see her before he even had the time to change out.

Bai Su who was originally sitting on the stone bed, stood up when she saw him.

"You're finally willing to see me." she said.

Lin Yichen's face carried a warm and gentle light.

She stared at Bai Su for a long time.

He reached into his pocket and took out a jade pendant. With his fingertips holding Ying Luo, he suspended the pendant in the air. "Little White, look, what did I bring me?"

His tone was light and his eyes had a trace of warmth in them.

Bai Su looked carefully, it was only a slightly gorgeous jade pendant, she frowned slightly.

He thought for a while, then his eyes were filled with surprise, "This … is that the Five-Colored Profound Jade? "

She ran forward and took the jade pendant from Lin Yichen's hand, and studied it carefully.

All along, she had thought that the Five-Colored Profound Jade would be split into five pieces, but the jade pendant in her hand was no different from the one worn by the rich.

"Huh?"

Bai Su exclaimed.
