diately pressed down on the acupuncture points on his body, causing the youth to be completely immobilized.Just then, two young men also descended from the sky. The two carried the injured youth away..."Cloud Six!"

Ninger's eyes blazed with anger, her emotions fluctuating dramatically.

Yunliu wasn't afraid of death at all. He actually liked seeing Nier like this, with her emotions so openly displayed. This kind of Nier, who was full of passion and feeling, was more captivating.

It's just that the current location isn't ideal. The Royal Guards patrol this area frequently, and they can't afford to waste time here. So, at this moment, he quickly raises his hands in surrender and acts submissive.

"Alright, alright, Ning'er don't be angry. I was just joking with you a moment ago. It was the Princess who asked me to assist you."

As soon as Yunliu finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other tacitly, and someone came over.

Yunliu reacted quickly, immediately wrapping his arms around Ning'er's waist and swiftly ducking into a nearby corner.

The two of them were very close, their breaths mingling. Ning'er's body stiffened, and she instinctively wanted to push him away, but the footsteps from that direction were getting closer and closer.

Yun Liu let out a hushed whisper, and Ning'er stopped what she was doing. After all, if they were exposed now, it would surely draw a large number of Imperial Guards, making the risks outweigh the rewards. They hadn't finished the task assigned by the princess tonight.

Thinking like that, I could only purse my lips and steady my heart.

A group of people rushed over, they clearly heard the noise. One of them said, "Strange, my subordinate clearly heard the sound."

As soon as this person finished speaking, someone smacked them on the head. "You're always causing trouble for me! Don't you know I'm busy enough"

"No, no, the lower part is the real one..."

"Really, really, isn't that what you always say Haven't you ever been truthful"

When that person tried to say something more, the leader had already left with everyone else.

Ning'er's tense body relaxed slightly. If those people were here looking for them, she and Yunliu wouldn't be able to hide at all.

Not until the sound of those footsteps faded did Ning'er come to her senses. She saw Yunliu still tightly embracing her, and she frowned, pushing him away with both hands and saying coldly, "Let go."

Yunliu not only didn't let go, but hugged even tighter, "Shh, someone's here."

Ning'er stopped struggling, her expression turning serious and solemn as Yunliu’s gaze locked onto hers.

As expected, after a short while the former leader returned alone.

He took a careful look around, seeing nothing out of the ordinary before letting out an irritated huff, "This kid, his ears are getting worse and worse."

Then, he finally left for good.

Ning'er's brows were furrowed.

At this point, Yunliu didn't need Ninger to tell him. He had already proactively let go of Ninger and took a step back, as if the person who had just acted like a hooligan wasn't him at all.

Ninger looked at him and listened as Yunliu explained, "This is the imperial palace after all. Don't look at these Imperial Guards, they may seem unreliable, but they are actually very cautious. Our current emperor is afraid of death. Once something happens, the Imperial Guards on duty that night will only have a dead end, so they are very careful."

Upon hearing this, Ning'er simply nodded faintly, "Mmm."

Yunliu really wanted to get closer to Ning'er, but he was afraid that being too forward would make her avoid him even more. So this time, he didn't waste any words. He turned and walked towards a certain place, "Follow me."

Ning'er didn't hesitate at all. She probably knew very well that Yunliu never joked about important matters, so she followed him directly this time.

Two people concealed themselves on a city wall. Yun Liu glanced at the sky and saw that the time was almost up. He looked at Ning'er, and the two of them nodded to each other before leaping up onto the wall simultaneously.

As soon as the two of them jumped down, a patrolman happened to walk past on the city wall.

Yun Liu just stood steady and pulled Ning'er over, the two quickly turned a corner, successfully avoiding those patrolling soldiers.

Ning'er frowned. She had been to the palace before, but today it seemed even more heavily guarded than usual.

The two quickly dodged the palace guards patrolling and rushed straight to Liu Lan's bedroom.

"Has something happened at the palace these past few days"

Ning'er asked in a low voice.

Yunliu hummed, "There are still people trying to harm the emperor. These days, most of the court affairs have been handed over to our prince and the fourth prince, while the emperor is recuperating in the palace."

"Well."

Ning'er couldn't help but scoff, "The emperor is just trying to figure out who wants to attack him: for the throne or for himself."

Yunliu smiled, "Ning'er is indeed clever."

The emperor didn't think that way at all. He nominally handed over the affairs of the court to his princes and fourth prince, but in reality, it was just to mislead the outside world and make people believe that he intended to choose the next crown prince between these two princes.

If the people behind this are doing it for the throne, then after this move, they will shift their target to the prince and the fourth prince.

If it was targeted at him, he wouldn't worry about anyone coveting his throne. At that time, he would have his princes and the fourth prince's people search for suspicious individuals in the palace with all their might. He didn't believe they couldn't solve this problem.

The emperor's idea is really good.

What's a pity is that he didn't know there were more than just one person watching him now.

Ning'er no longer said anything. For this emperor, she knew his little schemes. As long as it didn't harm their princess, she couldn't care less.

The two snuck into Liu Lan's bedroom in no time. No one was there.

Yunliu and Ning'er looked at each other, understandingly taking steps closer to Liu Lan's palace.

Two people stood in the corridor, hearing the sounds coming from inside, and Ning'er's face immediately turned red.

She was speechless. Her own princess had invited her into the palace, but she wasn't sure if Mo Yunze would be back. She thought it was just to make some preparations, who knew Mo Yunze would be here tonight.

Since we're already going there anyway, why not make arrangements for tonight so she doesn't have to run another trip.

Thinking this, Ning'er's mouth curled into a sneer.

At this moment, Yunliu also narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at Ning'er, who nodded at him. He turned and walked away, while Ning'er turned to go to the maidservants' courtyard.

Liu Lan didn't have the maidservants guard her, but instead gave them many conveniences.

Inside the house, Liu Lan and Mo Yunze were embracing passionately. Mo Yunze hadn't come back to see Liu Lan since he was injured a few days ago.

But these days he has been made uncomfortable by his father's thoughts. Why is it that his father insists on having him work with Mo Yunjing on government affairs

What does he mean

Today, I entered the palace with the sole purpose of gleaning information from Liu Lan's words and prompting her to speak to my father on my behalf.

Now that everything is done, Mo Yunze gently pulled Liu Lan into his embrace. "Father hasn't come looking for you recently, has he"

Liu Lan's eyes darkened. "That's right, Your Majesty has only allowed that Hua Guifei to care for him recently. Not only me, but even the Empress cannot see the Emperor now."

Noble Consort Hua

Mo Yunze's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, he snorted coldly. This Hua Gui Fei had no power or influence, with no support from her family, how did she manage to enter the palace

Given her current popularity, he wouldn't believe she was just an ordinary woman.

Just when Mo Yunze was about to say something, suddenly thick smoke rose outside, seeping in through the cracks in the door and windows.

The sudden movement startled the two people in bed.t now, all he could think about was how to get Ye Er to agree to help without requiring Xiao Qin to make a sacrifice.He still vividly remembered how excited and thrilled Xiao Qin was when she broke of...
