Yanxiu touched the boots vigilantly but out of habit, only to find that the dagger inside had long disappeared. Just as he was surprised, the visitor had already entered the house.
"Yuwen Zai?!" Yan Xiu was so surprised that he didn't know what to say as he watched Yuwen Zai walking towards the dining table step by step with the food plate in hand.
She never thought that Yuwen Zai would lock Xiaoru up. Let her live in this place where there is no light without candles.
Seeing him, her heart tightened. I wonder how Wei Yang is doing now. I don’t know how the plan will be implemented without her
It's just to poison them, I believe Wei Yang will find a way. But how is she going to get out on her own
She believed that there would be a secret passage out here, and no matter how awesome the master was, he would not be able to walk out of the royal study in a grand manner.
Yuwen Zai gently put the food plate on the table. Seeing that Xiaoru was sleeping soundly, he walked directly to Yan Xiu.
"If it weren't for the fact that she needs someone to take care of her, I would never have left you with this miserable life."
Yuwen Zai was a head taller than Yan Xiu, and standing in front of her, she looked even more petite.
Yan Xiu was about to retort, but Yuwen Zai had already left. The clicking sound of the lock made Yan Xiu inexplicably angry.
Maybe it was because candles had been lit here for a long time, but Yan Xiu couldn't tell what time it was, and he didn't know that Yuwen Zai had already returned to the imperial study room from morning.
They didn't know what Yongyi Palace had gone through.
After Yuwen came out of the underground palace, he slumped down on the chair. The chair that symbolized the highest power did not feel so comfortable for him at the moment.
Although his secret guards found the poison in Xiaoru's palace that caused Xiaoru's child to disappear, he still didn't want to do anything to Xiaoru.
Now all the strange things in the palace are being blamed on Xiaoru. If she were still in the palace, she would either be harmed or would harm others.
In order to stabilize his minister's heart, Yuwen Zai could only use Xiaoru as a shield. That's why he pretended to burn down Yongyi Palace, but in fact he only burned down a wing room where Yan Xiu lived.
In this way, he could declare to the outside world that Concubine Lian persecuted the concubines in the palace and committed suicide out of fear of the crime.
But as soon as these words came out, all the ministers started talking about it. Yu Wenxiang, Li Lianyou and others were even more reluctant to believe it.
Moreover, Yuwen Zai did not want to delve into it further. The ministers were still not satisfied with the answer, but were afraid of his power and had to give up.
It's not that Yuwen Zai didn't see Xiaoru's eyes that were red from crying, but this was probably the only way to protect her.
After finally holding on until night, Yu Wen refused to go to his bedroom even if he died, so Wei Yang ordered someone to place a soft couch in the imperial study.
Only in the dead of night did Yuwen Zai dare to enter the secret room quietly. Wei Yang was sure that there was no sound inside, so he quickly returned to his room.
"Master. Everything has been done. But he took out Xiaoru as a shield. I don't know if it will affect our plan. Moreover, now that Xiaoru and Xinxin came into the study room and never came out again, I don't know..."
Wei Yang was afraid that this was the first time he said so many words in front of his master, but he was also worried. Because their task is not only to clean up the harem, but also to protect Xiaoru.
"Royal study room?" The face under the silver mask frowned slightly, then spread out again. If it were there, that would be easy to say.
Before Wei Yang could figure out the situation, the silver mask had disappeared.
After a while, the man appeared again in the underground palace where Xiaoru and the others were, and saw Yuwen watching outside.
The face under the silver mask suddenly became dark, and his hands were clenched into fists.
