Before they arrived, Xiao Lan only wanted to slightly use the afterimages, but after hearing what he said, she more or less developed a sense of admiration towards the afterimages. After all, people that had pride in themselves should be respected.

Xiao Lan glanced at the blood stains that had appeared on her sleeve at an unknown time, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"No, I'm here to let you go."

Let him go?!

Everyone was shocked.

The afterimage also widened his eyes in shock. According to his understanding of this woman, she was the one who would be punished for her flaws. Back then, he had placed a killing order on her, but she actually let him go?!

For a moment, the cell was eerily quiet.

Moments later, the figure suddenly sneered, "You want to use this matter to bribe my loyalty and then deal with the Duke? "Then let me tell you, that's impossible!"

Xiao Lan stretched out his hand to support his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. "If I can bribe you with this matter, then you aren't a remnant of Xuanyuan Feng."

Xiao Lan lowered her arm and took a step towards the afterimage. "I came to ask you to help him."

Help him? Who? Prince?

How is this possible?!

The afterimage stared fixedly at Xiao Lan. He didn't believe that she would help the Prince.

"You … What are you planning? "

Hearing this, Xiao Lan frowned. Look at what he said. It was as if she was such a crafty woman.

Xiao Lan stared at the afterimage. "I'm not as bad as you think."

The afterimage didn't say anything, but the gaze he shot back at Xiao Lan was that he would rather believe that there was a ghost in this world than believe her mouth.

Xiao Lan helplessly breathed in. Forget it, it seems like anything she says is of no use. In that case, she will just say what he's willing to believe.

"Your Prince has been out of the capital a lot these few days. I think he must be dealing with some important matter, and it's a thorny matter. As for what it is, I can't guess, but I can think of a few things …"

"For example, he could destroy Yama Minamiya's pavilion, then he could eradicate the entire Wei clan according to the emperor's orders, and then he could destroy his beloved …"

Along with Xiao Lan's narration, the afterimage was so shocked that its entire body went stiff.

"You... "How did you know?"

This was something that the Prince had speculated to him before he was locked in the dark room. She actually knew about it!

As far as he knew, there wasn't a single informant from her in the Residence of Regent, so her information was …

Seeing the shocked afterimages, Xiao Lan knew she guessed correctly. She didn't care about anything else, but she had to be more concerned about the matter regarding the Rookie Family. After all, it was related to Ruan An.

When he thought about the way the emperor looked at the Fang family … Xiao Lan's eyes narrowed.

At that time, Xuanyuan Hongxi would probably want to destroy the Wei family.

Right now, she wanted Wei An to leave the capital early. However, if the storm this time involved him, he would definitely return to the capital without a care in the world.

By then, everything she had done would have been in vain, so she had to save him and prevent his return.

Xiao Lan slowly crouched down to face the afterimage, his clear eyes sincere to the point that there wasn't a trace of impurity within them.

Xiao Lan, who was in such a state, couldn't help but be stunned. She was …

Xiao Lan gently parted her red lips.

"Since you understand me so well, I won't beat around the bush anymore. That's right, I have my reasons for letting you go."

He knew it, and the afterimage snorted coldly, "Speak, what are you trying to harm your highness again?"

Hit Xuanyuan Yun?

Heh! Come on, was his prince someone she could trap? When had she not suffered a crushing defeat?

Xiao Lan secretly took a deep breath.

"This is too serious. This time, I truly want you to help your master. I just want you to help him out a little."

Bring a message?

Shadow looked at Xiao Lan seriously. "What words?"

Xiao Lan stared intently at his afterimage, "Tell him to protect Yuze!"

What...

Protect Weizi?

Shadow's gaze darkened, then an unresolvable doubt appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He didn't understand … From his point of view, if the woman in front of him was truly Ulan Yi, then it would be understandable for her to go and save her. After all, he was her father.

But after all that had happened, he was now certain that she wasn't Weizeh's girl. Was she going to save him now? Why?

Seeing the doubt filling Shadow's eyes, Xiao Lan suddenly stood up with a profound expression. "You don't understand. Your Prince will understand."

With Xuanyuan Wentian's intellect, as long as Shadow brought the words over, he would know her true goal. At that time … He …

Xiao Lan once again took a deep breath with a complicated and unfathomable feeling as she spoke with a faint voice.

"If you see your master hesitating, tell him that I'm willing to agree to one condition, no matter what it is."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Lan turned around and walked out.

The afterimage was inexplicably shocked by Xiao Lan's words, but it didn't know what it was.

Wu Yu and the others who had been standing to the side were dumbstruck when they saw Xiao Lan was about to leave. Only then did they react and swiftly chased after Xiao Lan.

Wu Yu asked as she walked to Xiao Lan's side with a stupefied expression.

"Esteemed wangfei, this shadow guard, he …" "He's …"

Xiao Lan's footsteps stopped slightly. "I'm releasing him."

Released?!

"Then... "The prince's side …"

Xiao Lan ignored him and walked out of the secret chamber. He would definitely reward his Royal Highness.

After leaving the dark room and walking into the front hall, the first thing he saw was Ning Xiang waiting for him quietly at the door.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but recall everything that happened in the secret room and sigh with emotion in his heart. Luckily, he didn't bring this little girl in. Otherwise, she would have either lost her mind or become a complete fool.

Ning Xiang, who was patiently waiting, vaguely heard the sound of footsteps behind her. She quickly turned around and saw Xiao Lan's figure, then immediately went up to greet him.

"Princess."

"Yes." Xiao Lan calmly continued onward.

"Are we going back?"

Hearing Ning Xiang's question, Xiao Lan's footsteps stopped. "How about, you go inside for a round before we return?"

"No, no, no …" Ning Xiang's head suddenly shook like a rattle drum.

She almost vomited when she was at the door. Letting her in was simply taking her life!

In other words, the people inside were all people who disobeyed the king and were unpardonable. She was afraid just thinking about these people.

Seeing Xiao Lan's face go deathly pale from her words, Xiao Lan stopped teasing her.

"Let's go."

"Oh, okay." Ning Xiang let out a deep breath and quickly caught up. She had truly been frightened by that moment just now. She thought that the wangfei would really let her take a stroll around.

Along the way, the elegance of the courtyard, the brilliance of the colors, and the warm sunlight above her head caused Xiao Lan to stop in her tracks in the end.

"Ning Xiang, do you know who are the people that are locked in the secret chamber?"

She didn't want to ask, but the more she walked, the more it seemed to her that the darkroom she had just passed through and the place she now stood in were two terrible worlds.

Ning Xiang looked at Xiao Lan with a puzzled expression. She had already been away from the dark room for so long, why was it that the wangfei suddenly remembered to ask this question?

"Princess, what happened to you?"

Why did she feel that the wangfei was odd?

Xiao Lan withdrew her gaze from the warm sun and looked sideways at Ning Xiang.

"Answer me first, who are those people inside?"
