The cold light of the dagger suddenly flashed through the air, and Shen Datong's mind suddenly went blank. Before he could even shout, the cold light flashed down and touched his pants...

"bass……"

At the critical moment, the blade broke into two pieces in the air, and one of the pieces flew away just as it rubbed against Shen Datong's clothes, accompanied by the sound of the cloth being pierced by the blade.

"hiss--"

The woman was shocked, and Shen Datong finally realized the seriousness of the situation and shouted "Help!"

The woman suddenly turned around and looked where the hidden weapon came from. She saw a man in purple walking slowly down the stairs. Suddenly, the woman's originally sinister face suddenly brightened up and her eyes were bright.

"Prince Yu, Prince Yu, it's me, it's me, Shen Datong, help me!"

On the ground, Shen Datong saw Xiao Yao and shouted for help.

The person who came was none other than Xiao Yao. He walked down from the second floor, slowly walked towards the woman, and smiled, "You can't touch him."

The woman was surprisingly not angry, but instead laughed, her eyes sparkling when she smiled, and she looked even more coquettish, "He bullied me, and I can't take revenge?"

Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows, "I don't believe anyone can bully you, Yun Luo."

When the woman heard this, the corners of her lips raised, she threw away the remaining half of the dagger in her hand, slowly walked towards Xiao Yao, and smiled sweetly, "Third brother, I'm here to find you."

This woman is the fifth princess Xiao Yunluo.

That night, Xiao Yao took Xiao Yunluo and the two brothers and sister away. Fortunately, Shen Datong finally walked out of the west building intact.

Hua Yueru saw everything from beginning to end, and then calmly sent someone to call Lan Dan.

When the New Year was approaching, almost all the guests who came to Jiuqing Palace to watch the ceremony had left. Xiao Li left on the second day after seeing Shenzui, and only Jiasheng stayed for another three days.

When she met Xiao Li and Jia Sheng, Shen Zui didn't find anything special. It was just ordinary greetings. Huai Mo changed his appearance and dressed up, pretending to be a servant and waiting on the side. Shen Zui felt uncomfortable from beginning to end, and even felt like he was there.

I felt like I had nothing to say. Even my gratitude to Xiao Li for saving his life seemed hypocritical and perfunctory.

Fortunately, Huai Mo didn't mention Hong Jiu's marriage to Jia Sheng in the end, and Shen Zui finally felt at ease.

However, Huai Mo suddenly received a letter. After reading the letter, Huai Mo snorted coldly and threw the letter aside, his face no longer looking good.

Shen Zui was suspicious, so he picked it up and looked at it. He didn't know who had written it, but only a few words, "The fifth princess returned to Beijing to meet Xiao Yao. Emperor Wen held a banquet on New Year's Eve."

A banquet on New Year’s Eve…

Shen Zui's heart twitched slightly.

"Are you going back?"

Huai Mo snorted and looked at her, "You want me to go back so much?"

"...Why do I want you to go back?" Shen Zuinai sighed, walked slowly to him, and put her little hands around his waist, "Of course I want you to stay."

"good."

"Really?" Chenzui's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't expect Huaimo to agree so easily. She had seen Huaimo's ugly face before and thought he had to return. Because generally speaking, as long as it can be solved, it will not affect Huaimo.

Strange mood.

"Well, since you want me to stay, I will stay tonight and leave tomorrow."

"..."

"Take good care of me tonight."

"..."

Shen Zui silently ignored Huai Mo's tone like a prostitute, thought for a moment, and asked, "Who is the fifth princess?"

Hearing this, Huai Mo frowned almost imperceptibly, as if she was bored, but also seemed to be worried. Shen Zui had a bad premonition in her heart, so she heard Huai Mo say, "It may be the future Princess Yu."

Shenzui felt a thunderbolt strike from the clear sky, "Yu...Prince Yu...Princess?"

Her tongue was tangled even as she spoke, "She...***?"

Huai Mo stared at her, "Although the fifth princess Xiao Yunluo is a princess in name, she is actually the adopted daughter of Empress Changsun, the daughter of Empress Changsun's eldest brother. Back then, Changsun Changyun died for the country, and his wife also followed suit, leaving only Yunluo.

Empress Changsun took pity on a daughter, and with Emperor Wen's permission, she adopted Xiao Yunluo as her adopted daughter and kept her by her side. Although Xiao Yunluo was respected as a princess since she was a child, her life experience is known to everyone in the court."

"Then...then why did she marry Xiao Yao?"
