I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 293: Game within a game.

"I'm fine, I just have a headache lately."

Wang Zijun saw that Jiahe didn't want to talk, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll go first."

"kindness."

After Wang Zijun left, Jiahe looked at An'er and asked, "What happened?"

"I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to Qingyuan. I believe she will lose her composure after reading the letter."

"How's the Prince's Banquet going?"

"Once Lin Yiyi and Wang Zijun's affair is discovered, our people will bring the young marquis here."

"When Lin Yiyi comes over, go to the front and call Wang Zijun over and tell him that I'm feeling a little unwell."

"Yes."

After Jiahe gave the order, a layer of coldness appeared in her eyes. Today's wedding would be the place where Lin Yiyi would die.

At Qingyuan, Lin Yiyi received the letter at almost dusk. Jiang Xue had already returned from the Jiang Mansion, and Pei Zhijin had gone to the palace.

Lin Yiyi was pacing anxiously in the front hall at this moment. Jiang Xue walked in quickly from outside. Lin Yiyi immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Xue smiled and handed the letter to Lin Yiyi with a confident look, saying, "The old man from the Secret Shadow Hall sent people to investigate all of Jia He's details on Zhongshan Mountain. She didn't have a good life on Zhongshan Mountain to begin with. People in the academy bullied her and didn't like her. When she was almost killed, a mysterious person appeared and saved her."

"who is it?"

Jiang Xue only heard the general idea from Liu Xiao. She still needed to see what was written in the letter to know the details. So she looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "Take a look at what the letter says."

Lin Yiyi hurriedly opened the letter and started reading. Jiang Xue also leaned over curiously. After a moment, Lin Yiyi put the letter down and said thoughtfully, "So, an unpopular princess can be so unscrupulous on Zhongshan Mountain and hide it from the people in the capital. It shows that the person behind the scenes is extraordinary."

"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded in agreement and continued, "There is one more page."

Lin Yiyi lowered her head and turned to the second page, then frowned, "Why did Jingming Hall appear again?"

Jiang Xue also frowned and looked back. The letter said that Jingmingtang was little-known and the people inside were very mysterious. People from Jingmingtang were rarely seen in the world, but their strength should not be underestimated. There were rumors that the head of Jingmingtang was a member of the royal family, so basically no one dared to touch Jingmingtang.

After reading the letter, they looked at each other.

Lin Yiyi said: "Then it all makes sense. Princess Jiahe is also a member of the royal family. He rescued her because he couldn't bear to see Jiahe being bullied."

"People in the royal family will not do anything that is not beneficial to themselves." Jiang Xue said slowly.

Lin Yiyi reacted immediately, "Hiss...You mean, Jingming Hall has other purposes?"

"Well..." Jiang Xue paused for a moment and said, "The letter said that the head of Jingming Hall is a member of the royal family. Why did he create Jingming Hall when he was a member of the royal family? And... Jiahe is the empress dowager's daughter. Even if she is useless, she is still a member of the royal family. She can only benefit him."

Lin Yiyi frowned, and the first thing that came to her mind was Li Lingxuan's face. She said, "There are very few people in the capital who can be called royal family members now. Apart from Jiahe, there is King Cheng. Could he be the head of Jingming Hall?"

Jiang Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded to Lin Yiyi and said, "It's possible."

"It seems that King Cheng's ambition can no longer be hidden."

Jiang Xue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Lin Yiyi and asked, "Is there any news from Xiao Yu?"

Lin Yiyi shook her head and said, "I have asked Mu Feng to take people to look for her. Jiahe is very cautious this time. She is forcing me to show up."

"Don't be impatient." Jiang Xue thought calmly, "We have been investigating Jiahe for a long time. Why not take advantage of the situation tonight and expose Jiahe's true face."

"What should we do?" Lin Yiyi asked anxiously.

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's make two preparations. You go to the Marquis' Mansion to look for Jia He, Mu Feng takes people to the Princess' Mansion to look for her, and I'll go look for Lin Wan Wan."

"Row."

After careful discussion, the two split into two groups. Lin Yiyi went to the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Xue went to Huaxiangju to find Lin Wanwan, and Mu Feng received the news and took his men to the Princess' Mansion.

--------

Hou House.

It was still a lively scene, with red silk and joy. Wang Zijun had been forced to drink a lot of wine by his colleagues, and his handsome face was slightly flushed.

Lin Yiyi did not enter through the front gate, but climbed over the wall from the back door, avoiding the maids all the way and came to Jiahe's yard.

It was dark, the lights were off and there was no one in the yard. Only bursts of noise could be heard coming from the front yard.

Lin Yiyi walked outside and pushed open the door. A faint fragrance wafted into the air, and the house was empty.

Lin Yiyi walked in. The room was filled with red silk, with red candles swaying gently on the table. Incense was burning on the table nearby. Lin Yiyi walked closer and took a closer look. The fragrant smell she had just smelled when she entered the room was coming from the incense burner.

Lin Yiyi frowned slightly. Seeing how quiet the room was, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

When preparing to leave, Lin Yiyi's legs suddenly went limp and she rested her hands on the table. Then her eyes became sharp. Why did the faint feeling coming from her body seem familiar?

He looked towards the incense table, then raised his hand to knock over the incense burner, but someone grabbed his belt and pulled him into his arms.

Lin Yiyi immediately turned her wrist, pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed the person in front of her.

"Yiyi, it's me." Wang Ziyan's gentle voice sounded above Lin Yiyi.

After hearing this, Lin Yiyi's eyes turned slightly, and she quickly turned the dagger, turned the handle to the outside, released the force in her hand, and lightly touched the handle on Wang Ziyan's chest.

Lin Yiyi looked up at Wang Ziyan.

Prince Yan smiled and said, "Madam, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Why are you here?" Lin Yiyi said weakly.

After receiving Jiang Xue's letter, I rushed back.

"There's something wrong with that incense." Lin Yiyi pointed to the incense burner on the table and pursed her lips.

Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi's weak eyes and her whole body leaning on him, and hurriedly took out the pills given by Jiang Xue from his arms.

"Open your mouth." Wang Ziyan said softly.

Lin Yiyi obediently opened her mouth slightly, and Wang Ziyan put the pill in. The pill melted in her mouth, making Lin Yiyi feel instantly refreshed.

"What did you give me to eat?"

"Jiang Xue gave it to me." After saying that, he picked up Lin Yiyi and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for long. I'll take you away."

"But....."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu is fine. Leave Jiahe to me."

Lin Yiyi nodded in relief after hearing this, then leaned on Wang Ziyan's shoulder and said with her eyes closed: "Then I'll take a rest."

"kindness."

When Wang Ziyan brought Lin Yiyi out of the house, Ah Hui was already waiting outside.

"Son."

"We need to act quickly according to the previous plan," said Wang Ziyan.

"Yes."

After Wang Ziyan took Lin Yiyi away quickly, Ah Hui raised his hand slightly, and his men hidden in the dark immediately sent the four tied people into the house.

And then left quickly.

Ah Tong rushed over holding Jia He, looked at Ah Hui, and complained: "Don't give me this kind of work in the future."

Ah Hui said expressionlessly: "There is no other way. This is the order of the young master. Do you want to disobey the young master's order?"

"you......"

"Okay, send the person in quickly, don't delay the time."

Atong glared at Ahhui, and then sent him in very reluctantly.

After everything was ready, Ah Hui grabbed a handful of fallen snow from a nearby tree and used his inner strength to throw it towards the candlelight in the house.

Snow fell on the ground, the red candle was extinguished, and the house fell into darkness.

The yard suddenly became silent.

"Retreat!" Only Ah Hui's voice was heard in the darkness.

The men around him immediately moved quickly and hid in the dark.

Then there was dead silence.

Wang Zijun was already a little drunk after being forced to drink in the front yard. When Jia Yu brought Wang Zijun back, they were knocked unconscious by Ah Hui and Atong.

Ah Hui looked at Ah Tong, and Ah Tong immediately said, "Let me get Wang Zijun. He's too strong and suitable for you." Then he quickly carried Wang Zijun and walked towards the study.

After Wang Jingye and Shu Ya saw off the last group of guests, they returned to their room tiredly to rest.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep, with only a sound coming from the yard cutting through the darkness.

When Jiahe woke up, he felt as if countless hands were wandering over his body, with occasional gasps.

Jiahe's mind was confused and everything was dark in front of her eyes. She couldn't see anything until she saw a hand placed on her chest.

"Ah!" Jiahe pushed it away immediately and covered her chest with her hands, only then she realized that her clothes were no longer on her body.

Before Jiahe could react, another hand was placed on his waist from behind. The hand was extremely hot, and Jiahe was so shocked that he sat up immediately.

"Don't come over!" Jiahe shouted in the dark.

However, those people did not hear Jiahe's warning at all. The only source of ice that could relieve their bodies suddenly disappeared, and they all rushed to Jiahe in the dark.

Jiahe wanted to kick the person in front of her away, but found that she had no strength. Then a hand grabbed her leg and pulled her hard, and she fell on the bed. Then the men began to take advantage of Jiahe.

Jiahe tried hard to keep her mind clear, she was being plotted against.

Jiahe had no strength left in her body and could only let others do whatever they wanted. Just when she was about to lose her mind, she suddenly bit her lips hard to wake herself up.

Then she tried hard to push away the man who was lying on her and climbed down from the bed.

This must not be the fate of Jiahe. She suddenly recalled being locked up in the woodshed with those stinky beggars on Zhongshan Mountain. When her clothes were torn to shreds and her will was almost exhausted, she still managed to kill those beggars. Today, she would definitely be able to do it too.

Jiahe groped in the dark, and when he reached for a stool, he stood up with the help of the stool, and then he found the candlestick on the table.

When the men behind him were about to approach, Jiahe picked up the candlestick without hesitation and smashed it back.

She heard a dull sound and felt the candlestick in her hand hit someone, so she used all her strength to continue smashing it down.

A continuous muffled groaning sound was heard, and Jiahe hit the man hard like mad, until the man stopped groaning, then he stopped.

The moonlight outside the house was dim. Jiahe could vaguely see a figure lying on the ground through the faint moonlight. He threw down the candlestick in his hand as if exhausted.

Before he could catch his breath, someone grabbed him by the feet, and then slammed his whole body to the ground, and was dragged a long distance.

"what!!!!"

Jiahe shouted desperately and kept scratching at the ground, trying to grab something.

Being dragged to the bed, Jiahe saw his dagger shining silver in the night. He immediately picked up the dagger and stabbed the man in front of him without hesitation.

I only heard the person in front of me groan, and then he fell to the ground.

Jiahe spent the whole night in panic and darkness. Until dawn, Jiahe, wearing only a thin undershirt, killed the last man in the house the moment the sunlight came in.

The dagger fell to the ground. Jiahe looked at the situation inside the house. She knew all the people who were killed. They were the retainers of the princess's mansion.

Jiahe fell weakly to the ground. The room was in a mess. There were bloodstains on the bed, stools, table, and the floor was also covered with bloodstains.

Jiahe opened her lifeless eyes slightly. The blood splattered on her face formed a sharp contrast with her haggard expression.

There were footsteps outside the house, and then the door was opened.

"what!!!!!"

The person who opened the door was a maid. When she saw the bloody scene inside, she screamed in shock and then fainted.

Hong Fu heard the maid's voice in the yard, frowned slightly, looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Can you go and take a look?"

"Yes."

The young eunuch ran over in small steps, and after a moment he ran over with a panicked look on his face, "Eunuch...Eunuch, something bad has happened."

Hong Fu's shrill voice sounded unhappily, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"The princess..."

"What happened to the princess?"

"She...she..." The little eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Hong Fu was so anxious that he shouted, "If you don't speak properly, we will punish you."

After hearing this, the eunuch tried hard to suppress her panic and said quickly: "There is a dead person inside."

"Dead?" Hong Fu shouted in surprise.

Wang Jingye and Shu Ya rushed over from behind. When they heard Hong Fu say that someone had died, they hurried over and asked, "What happened to the princess?"

Hong Fu ignored Wang Jingye and Shu Ya, quickly pushed the eunuch away and walked into the house.

Wang Jingye and Shu Ya followed closely.

"Ah!" Hong Fu covered his mouth in surprise when he saw the scene inside.

Wang Jingye also saw the scene inside, and hurriedly stopped Shu Ya, shielding her eyes, and whispered, "Madam, don't look."

Shu Ya said worriedly: "What's wrong? Did something happen to the princess?"

Hong Fu hurriedly looked at the maid standing beside him and said, "Quick, go in and see Princess Jiahe."

Although the maid was a little scared, she still went in.

Seeing Jiahe lying in the innermost part, the maidservant called softly, "Princess, are you okay?"

Jiahe's bloody hand moved slightly, and the maid immediately shouted to Hongfu: "Eunuch, the princess is still alive."

Hongfu immediately sent someone in, and Jiahe put on his clothes and was helped out.

Eunuch Hong still said respectfully: "Princess, His Majesty asks you to enter the palace immediately."
