When night fell and all the palace maids had retreated, Huai Jin lied on her bed and thought about what Pu Xin had reminded him earlier in the day.

"The weather is going to change in the near future. Princess, you must be careful."

From the moment it became night, Huai Jin was not even able to stand up, and now her mouth was even more dry. She stood up and poured herself a cup of cold tea.

Huai Jin took out a dagger from under her pillow and placed it on her waist. Then, she stood up and left the Yongan Palace, not disturbing anyone.

Following her memories, she arrived at a small pond in the imperial garden. The moonlight shone down like the moon, and everything around her was reflected in the water, including the figure of a person.

At the edge of the pond was the fake mountain, and with a quick step, Huai Jin turned to the side and disappeared.

The people behind him immediately quickened their steps to take a look. The rocks were jagged and arched in all directions, revealing a small path between them.

The man saw the path light up and was about to enter. However, just as he was about to enter, a dagger that glowed with a silver light pierced towards him. He squatted down and barely dodged it.

He dodged so easily, Huai Jin frowned slightly.

The shadow he saw in the water just now was not clear. Now, when the two of them faced off against each other, Huai Jin realized that the other party was actually the eunuch who assassinated him that night!

The young eunuch giggled at Huai Jin and extended his hand out to make another move!

The little eunuch was stuck at the entrance of the cave. After a few more moves, Huai Jin stopped fighting and went to Ze Fang Yuan's Merlin from the other side of the mountain.

Seeing this, the young eunuch also hurried to catch up. The fake mountain was very dark, and he had already knocked a few bags on his head. After a few turns, he finally saw the exit and was overjoyed.

However, this young eunuch did not lower his guard. He stopped at the exit, took out a pill from his bosom and threw it on the ground. The pill immediately exploded, emitting green smoke.

He knew that Huai Jin was definitely waiting for him somewhere, so he wasn't in a hurry. He took out a few more pills from his bosom, and with every five steps he took, he exploded one at the bottom of his feet. These pills were all made by him, and the effect was a bit worse, as the limited range was only five steps away.

"Are you coming out!? If you don't come out, I'll put some knockout drugs on this place! Let's see where you can hide then! "

From the moment he met this little eunuch, he had always been smiling strangely at him. And now, there was always such a mess in his hands, and if there really were informants from the Northern Tomb of Li Consort Palace, the first person Huai Jin suspected was this little eunuch. What if he were to hand him over to the empress dowager or emperor?

Huai Jin sneered, then used her dagger to cut off a piece of her dress to cover her nose and mouth, holding her breath, she rushed towards the little eunuch.

The other party had also taken out her soft whip, but because she was injured internally, she could not use any inner strength. In a close combat battle, she was far inferior to Huai Jin who possessed extremely high fighting techniques, and in a few rounds, she slowly revealed her disadvantage.

Huai Jin found a chance to grab ahold of the little eunuch's whip and pulled him over, then turned and gave him a flying kick. The young eunuch's grip on the whip became weak and he released it. He crashed into a plum tree, causing the plum blossoms to fall.

The young eunuch tried his best to prop himself up, but because of the new injuries, his body was now riddled with deep scars and he was unable to stand up.

Seeing Huai Jin walk towards him, the young eunuch raised his head and knocked into a tree trunk. A jade hairpin slid down his head. Tilting his head, he caught the jade hairpin and used his remaining Qi to shoot the jade hairpin at Huai Jin.

Huai Jin squinted her eyes, the dagger in her hand flew out, about to collide with the jade hairpin!

But just at that moment, a fan appeared from the side, directly striking Huai Jin's dagger.

The whip that was tying the young eunuch was pulled out, Huai Jin forcefully retracted the whip, and also retracted the fan into her hands.

All the movements happened in an instant.

His body made crisp noises, and he even scolded like a man.

"Stupid!"

The dagger and the jade hairpin collided, and the jade on the hairpin cracked. But that wasn't jade! After the outer layer of the green juice, which was wrapped in the milky stone, shattered, scattering in all directions. Huai Jin immediately used her fan to prevent the juice from splattering on her body.

In the darkness, after a small worm lost the nutrients to its life, it anxiously searched for its resting place.

Yuwen Fei suddenly appeared and snatched the fan from Huai Jin's hands, throwing it on the ground.

It was already late at night. Although there was moonlight shining down, it was still extremely dim. It was impossible to determine the position of a small bug.

Yuwen Fei glared at Huai Jin: "Do you know what you just released?"

Huai Jin frowned: "What?"

Yuwen Fei was so angry that he dared to attack even when he did not know anything.

"It's the Soul Breaking Parasite." The eunuch explained to Huai Jin on Yuwen Fei's behalf as she narrowed her eyes and stared at Huai Jin.

Although these bugs were small, they were raised on their own blood. Others might not be able to sense the location of the bugs, but he knew.

Yuwen Fei's cold gaze fell on the little eunuch's body. "Li Consort allowed you to poison yourself with the parasite?"

The young eunuch nodded his head, finding it somewhat amusing, "You two are quite interesting. One wants to kill me, and the other wants to save me. One wants me to plant a Gu, and the other wants me to stop it. "

Huai Jin finally understood that the previous assassination attempt by the Li Consort was stopped by Yuwen Fei. Huai Jin looked coldly at the eunuch, swung the whip in her hand, and directly grabbed the eunuch's throat, "Find that Gu worm!"

However, the other party did not seem to care about Huai Jin's threat and looked at Yuwen Fei provocatively: "She wants to kill me."

Yuwen Fei acted as if he did not hear.

"I have already sent the letter out. My second uncle knows that I was saved by the Li Consort."

Yuwen Fei's eyes darkened slightly as he stared fixedly at the young eunuch. However, he only smiled, as he had already decided to do so for the sake of Li Consort, and the person in front of him didn't dare to touch him.

Huai Jin felt Yuwen Fei's change in emotions, and thought it was not good, but just as he was about to move, she saw something familiar heading towards him!

The paper fan carried a bit of inner strength as it flew towards Huai Jin's hand that was holding the whip.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yuwen Fei's eyes: "He can't die."

Huai Jin said coldly, "If we find the parasite, he doesn't have to die."

The eunuch shook his head, a crafty look flashing across his eyes, "I don't know ah, that Gu worm was given to me by my second uncle, and this one is something I finally managed to request."

Huai Jin did not believe it, and her hands tensed up even more.
