C82 The Biggest Concession

Yun Zhu took a set of clothes that she had taken from a servant in Jiang Xunyang's courtyard for Xiao Heng to change into. She estimated that it was about time for Kong Shengda's team to change shifts, so she led Xiao Heng to the inner court to avoid patrolling guards.

When they arrived at the Agarwood Restaurant, Kong Shengda and the others had already replaced a group of people to guard outside the building. Yun Zhu indicated for Xiao Heng to find a place to hide first, and then she went over with a cup of tea.

As it was winter, Yunshu would come over to deliver hot soup to them from time to time. Moreover, she would always appear to be very interested in Kong Shengda, and the soup was also easy to drink. Thus, the others no longer suspected that Yunshu had other intentions by appearing here late at night.

Sometimes, if Yunshu did not come to deliver the soup, they would even joke with Kong Shengda and ask if he had angered the lady, so they did not have the soup to drink.

Kong Shengda's face turned red every time he was hit, but it was obvious that his brothers, who were on guard, did not know. They also felt that Kong Shengda did not speak back when he was being joked, so their jokes became more and more excessive.

This time, when they saw Yunshu, they actually asked when Kong Shengda planned to marry her. Yunshu's bowl almost fell. She handed the cooling tea to the guard who made this kind of joke first and pretended to be slightly angry as she said, "If you use this kind of words to tease Big Brother Kong again, I won't prepare any share for you in the future."

"How can we make fun of him? That person, Old Kong, is very bored. 80% of his heart already wanted to marry the girl he liked." As soon as he finished speaking, the few people who were joking with him just now started to echo him. Yunshu ignored them and turned around to pour another bowl of tea for Kong Shengda.

Unexpectedly, Kong Shengda was not in a hurry to drink this time. Instead, he looked at her with a serious expression. "Celebrating Miss, actually, I really..."

"Drink the tea first. I'm still waiting to go back and rest." What if you talk about other people fainting and not drinking it? Even if you knock them unconscious, your hands will still hurt.

Kong Shengda was stunned for a moment before saying, "Then I'll wait until the day comes before I go and find the girl."

Yunshu nodded perfunctorily. Who knew that she would still be in the Prime Minister Estate at dawn?

When Kong Shengda saw her nod, he drank the tea with a delighted expression and returned the bowl.

After Yun Zhu finished dispersing the tea, she went to where Xiao Heng was hiding. "Everyone's effects will take a different time to take effect. In a while, there might be people who will discover that others have been knocked out by the medicine. If you want to call for help, then we can only rely on His Highness to point at their acupuncture points. "

"No problem." Xiao Heng seriously observed the guards outside the Agarwood Restaurant.

After a while, people started to walk around on the first floor. Upon seeing this, Xiao Heng immediately and carefully sneaked over. He held onto the person who had just fallen asleep and gently placed him on the ground. When he encountered those people who felt that something was wrong, he directly put them down with his acupuncture points. Xiao Heng's hands were very nimble. In around the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finished off the people on the third floor as well. Yun Zhu hurriedly lit up the Soul Calming Incense and inserted it into the four corners of each floor. This way, it was much safer than the last time.

The two of them entered the building without delay and began to rummage through the dossiers. Yun Zhu continued to search on the first floor while Xiao Heng searched from the lower floor to the third floor.

Yun Zhu finished flipping through the first floor and did not find any traces of the dossiers. When she turned around and was about to go upstairs, she saw Xiao Heng carrying two wooden boxes down. "They're all here. Let's go."

When they reached the western wall, there were already two young men dressed up like the Prime Minister Estate's servants waiting there. They looked quite handsome. They looked ordinary and ordinary, the kind that would be completely unnoticeable in the crowd. When the two people saw clearly that it was Xiao Heng, they immediately came forward to pay their respects. Xiao Heng threw the box to them and brought Yunshu over the wall. Following that, the two manservants also dug out the box.

It was likely that these two were Xiao Heng's spies in the Prime Minister Estate.

When she returned to the room that she had stayed in before, Yun Zhu felt rather emotional. She had clearly left this place for several months, but when she saw the furnishings in the room, she felt as if she had never left. Before Xiao Heng left, he had told her to rest well. He had even said that Yang Siyuan had already been released. In the courtyard next door, he discovered that his injury had just recovered. If he wanted to leave, he could leave at any time.

When Yunshu heard that he was talking about "him," and not "you guys,," she felt a chill in her heart. However, the sudden sleepiness made her temporarily unable to ask more questions. It was better to sleep first and greet him tomorrow. Moreover, she might have misheard him if she did not rest so late at night.

Once a person relaxed, they would be able to sleep exceptionally well. Yunshu slept until noon before waking up. If he didn't coincidentally call her over to have lunch with Xiao Heng, she might still be in a dream.

"Why do I have to have lunch with your prince? Isn't it good to have lunch with each other?" Yun Zhu sat in front of the dressing mirror and was served by two maidservants. When she had time, she looked at the bronze mirror and asked Qiao Qiao.

Chao Qiao's attitude towards her was a little better than the last time they captured her. "This is Royal Highness's intention. If Miss is unwilling, invite yourself to speak to him."

"Alright, alright." Yunshu waved her hand, indicating that the conversation would end here. She didn't know what Xiao Heng wanted to do again, but she had something to do with him anyway. She could go eat if she wanted to.

However, after tidying up, the path that Xiao Heng took her on didn't lead to Xiao Heng's courtyard. Instead, it led to the main entrance of the prince's residence.

Although Yun Zhu had doubts in her heart, she did not ask anything. She had helped Xiao Heng sneak into the Prime Minister Estate to search for such an important thing, so Xiao Heng's conscience told him that it was reasonable for him to treat her to a good meal.

However, she never would have thought that the carriage would stop outside a courtyard in the end.

The plaque at the entrance of the courtyard had the words "Seclusion Hall" written on it. It was very suitable for it to stay away from prosperity and have a backer. The two sides were surrounded by water and the geographical environment. And behind the door, there was another world. Long Youmei, who had spent a long time to thank, stood on both sides of the road paved with limestone. The few paths leading to other places were hidden under the rattan racks that were surrounded by the vines that had been brought in from the Western Regions. There were many white and green flowers growing on the vines.

After passing through a few small paths, they saw Xiao Heng sitting in the pavilion at the center of the lake, playing his zither from afar. It was only then that Yun Zhu realized that the moon white dress she was wearing today was actually very similar to the color and material of Xiao Heng's body. She immediately had a bad feeling.

"Miss Yun, you can go by yourself." After saying that to Qiao Qiao, she turned around and left.

Xiao Heng naturally saw Yun Zhu coming over as well. He excitedly got up and walked out of the pavilion, gesturing for the maidservant to carry the zither away.

When he got closer and saw the joy on the other party's face, the bad feeling in his heart immediately increased by who knew how many times. She even thought sadly that perhaps she hadn't misheard him last night.

"Did you have a good rest last night?"

Yunshu nodded. "It's all thanks to His Highness letting Brother Yang leave the dungeon in advance to recuperate. "She followed Xiao Heng into the pavilion with a heavy heart and sat down.

"This king truly had no choice but to do that earlier. If Miss Yun can understand a little, this king will be relieved in his heart." Xiao Heng poured a cup of hot tea for her.

Yunshu did not say anything. If she could understand that Xiao Heng had imprisoned someone who could be considered a friend of hers and threatened her in the dungeon, wouldn't that mean that there was something wrong with her brain?

However, the other party didn't insist on waiting for her to say anything. He said again, "The dishes today were specially prepared for Miss Yun. I hope you like them." As he spoke, he clapped his hands to indicate that the dishes could be served.

This meal was very unpleasant to Yunshu. Not only did Xiao Heng lower himself to pick food for her from time to time, he kept staring at her and didn't eat much.

After Yunshu could not stand being stared at, she put down the chopsticks gloomily and did not hide her unhappiness at all. "I'm done eating. May I ask Your Highness if I can take Brother Yang out of the prince's residence?"

"You want to leave?" The corners of Xiao Heng's mouth curled slightly as he also frowned. It seemed that he was even more unhappy in his heart than Yun Zhu at this moment.

"Xiao Heng, how can you go back on your word!? Didn't you say earlier that as long as I help you steal the dossier, you will let me go with Brother Yang?"

Xiao Heng snorted coldly. "Miss Yun probably remembered wrongly. This king is saying that Miss Ruo Yun will 'be able to satisfy this king'. Only then will she be able to let the two of you leave. In the end, Miss Yun not only dragged the matter of stealing the dossier on behalf of an unrelated man, but in the end, she didn't rely on her own strength to complete it. Could it be that in Miss Yun's opinion, This King is a very easily satisfied person? Now, letting Yang Siyuan recover and leave is the greatest concession This King can make for Miss Yun. "

" Since Your Highness likes to force others to do things, then Yunshu must leave! "

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Xiao Heng thought of another matter that his subordinates had reported to him. He could not help but find it funny. "What a good person to have to leave. Do you really like that brat surnamed Yin that much? Unfortunately, he's already married. Don't tell me you want to be his mistress? "

Yun Zhu was stunned for a moment because he deliberately revealed the matter to her. "Impossible. You must have made a mistake." She had a marriage contract with Yin Ze. How could he marry someone else?

Xiao Heng smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Isn't Yin Ze the only male in the Yin Family? How could he be mistaken? Furthermore, his delicate wife was married to the Minister of Finance, Liu Wen's daughter. It was said that she was the daughter of the Minister of Finance, Liu Wen. The Minister of Finance with the surname Liu of the Yan Country was not to be trifled with. He had the same authority as Jiang Tong in the past. Many officials and wealthy businessmen are waiting in line to curry favor with her. "

Yunshu almost did not hear what he said after that. Her mind was somewhat empty.

"Xiao Heng..."

"Hmm?"

"What you said just now was true? "

"Is there a need for This King to lie to you?"

Yun Zhu pursed her lips. "Yin Ze... When did he return to the Yin Family?"

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Return to the Yin Family? Wasn't he always at the Yin Family? He just hasn't left the house for a few months."

At this moment, all the tiny dots finally connected into a single line. In her heart, besides the pain of being betrayed, there was actually a trace of relaxation that she hadn't noticed for the time being.

Yunshu laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling that her stupidity was incurable. The Yin Family probably did not intend to admit this marriage from the beginning. Her two aunties were really smart. They actually thought of this plan of killing two birds with one stone and sent her away, this hindrance. The Yin Clan didn't need to send out people to fight on the battlefield anymore.

Seeing that she had suffered a great blow, the smile on Xiao Heng's lips gradually faded. "The Yin Family doesn't admit that marriage is their loss. In the future, you can follow by this king's side and this king will ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"Xiao Heng, I want to go back and see for myself." She felt that she could only give an explanation to her father if she saw it with her own eyes.
