If it wasn't for that master, she wouldn't have met Leng Yihan and her grandfather. It wasn't that she didn't want to know them, but after she met Leng Yihan, she hurt him. After meeting her grandfather, she lost him. She still felt sad when she thought of that old man.
This was all thanks to that 'master'.
"What are you thinking about?" Sage Ye used his arm to knock Shangguan Yahan, who was in a daze. She forgot to flip the chicken wing in her hand and it was burnt.
"No, I haven't." Shangguan Yahan came back to her senses and immediately smelled a burnt smell. She sniffed, threw away the chicken wing in her hand, and roasted another one.
She took out salt, pepper, and chili powder and sprinkled them on all the food. Then, dinner officially began.
"If only there was some wine." Han Zimo suddenly said as he looked up at the moon in the sky.
"Do you really think it's a winter outing? When spring comes and it's warmer, we'll go out again. By then, you'll have whatever you want.”Shangguan Yahan smiled, but as if she had thought of something, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Next spring?
She would leave the following spring.
She glanced at the three people in front of her, and her nose felt a little sour.
After spending so much time together, she really couldn't bear to leave them. She really couldn't bear to leave them. Even Sage Ye felt a little reluctant.
But she couldn't stay in the Imperial Residence forever. She didn't like it there. There was also Sage Ye. She didn't know what the outcome of his grand plan would be.
No matter how reluctant she was, she had to take responsibility for her own life.
Therefore, leaving was a must.
As for the spring outing next year, she had decided that she would leave after she had one last laugh with everyone. It would be a good memory.
At night, Han Zimo and Situ Yue slept outside and took out thick quilts from the box. Shangguan Yahan and Sage Ye slept in the carriage.
"Brother Tianyue, Zimo, you two should come in and squeeze. It's really cold outside. Uncle Li, come in too.”Shangguan Yahan felt that the coachman, Old Li, had been outside for a day and must be freezing. She couldn't bear to see him.
"It's okay. When I went out to do things in the past, I just found a cave to sleep in. I didn't have these quilts.”Situ Yue smiled and got into bed after making the bed.
Shangguan Yahan sighed and got into the carriage, whispering," Let's go back tomorrow. It's too cold. I don't want them to suffer because of me."”
Of course, Sage Ye wanted to go back. He didn't agree to follow them anyway, so he immediately nodded and agreed." Alright."”
Shangguan Yahan also nodded, and got into bed with Sage Ye.
"Yahan 'er, come closer." Sage Ye stretched out his long arm and pulled Shangguan Yahan into his embrace, using his body to warm her.
Shangguan Yahan also knew about it, so she didn't refuse.
Besides, what had happened between the two of them? What was there to reject?
Gradually, everyone fell asleep.
In the sky, a dark cloud covered the bright moon.
In the dark, a black shadow suddenly flashed past, followed by a second black shadow, a twentieth black shadow…
Situ Yue's ears twitched and he suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp eyes shone brightly in the dark night. His eyeballs rolled a few times agilely, and his mouth made a sound like a snake flicking its tongue.
Han Zimo heard his secret signal and glanced at him. His right hand was tightly holding his sword under the blanket.
"Yahan 'er, Yahan' er." Sage Ye gently shook Shangguan Yahan's body and whispered into her ear.
Shangguan Yahan had moved to another place and was not sleeping very well. She heard someone calling her in a daze and weakly responded,”
"Yahan 'er, wake up. We're being watched.”Sage Ye shook Shangguan Yahan again, his voice extremely low.
Shangguan Yahan heard him clearly, and after a long while, she finally reacted. She opened her big eyes and regained consciousness.
"Is there someone outside?" She widened her eyes and asked incredulously.
"Shh." Sage Ye made a hush gesture and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
He took the sword and held it tightly in his hand. Then, he took another sword and handed it to Shangguan Yahan." Yahan 'er, take Old Li and run back later. Don't look back. Go back and tell Shengyan to send someone to help us. Do you hear me?"”
Shangguan Yahan was scared and regretful.
She was afraid that she would implicate Sage Ye and the others, and regretted following them. She deserved to die, but she had to drag the three of them down with her. She really deserved to die.
"No, I want to be with you.”She knew that Sage Ye only wanted to push her away, so she shook her head desperately.
"Yahan 'er, listen to me. There are too many of them. If you stay, we will have to take care of you. Go back and tell Shengyan to bring more people over.”Sage Ye patted Shangguan Yahan's cheek and kissed her on the forehead. The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer.
Shangguan Yahan sniffed, her eyes glistening with tears as she nodded," Then you must be careful and wait for me."”
Sage Ye wanted to tell her not to come over, but the group of people had already come up.
Outside the carriage, the blankets on Han Zimo and Situ Yue were suddenly torn into pieces. The two of them jumped up.
Sage Ye let go of Shangguan Yahan, and the carriage immediately exploded. Sage Ye flew into the air with Shangguan Yahan's slender waist. He waved the sword in his hand a few times, injuring a few men in black before landing." Yahan 'er, leave!"”
Shangguan Yahan nodded, unsheathing her sword as she charged towards Old Li. She grabbed his collar and jumped into the forest, stepping on the treetops as she flew back.
Old Li felt uncomfortable being pulled by the collar, but his waist was too thick, and Shangguan Yahan couldn't wrap her arms around it, so she ordered Old Li to hold her waist.
Old Li didn't dare. The two of them argued for a long time before he was willing to listen.
When they returned to the capital, the sun was already high up in the sky.
Shangguan Yahan put down Old Li and went straight to the King of Beiyang Mansion.
On Sage Ye's side, after Shangguan Yahan left last night, the number of men in black had increased. The three of them were exhausted, and at this moment, the guards who had been sent to follow the fake Shangguan Yahan suddenly returned. The fake Shangguan Yahan had also returned.
The guards of Sage Ye Court were all experts, so although it was a little troublesome to deal with those two hundred people, it was not to the extent of suffering heavy losses.
The killing only ended when the sky was just beginning to brighten. Not a single one of the two hundred people was left alive. A few of Sage Ye's guards had unfortunately died, and a few were seriously injured.
Han Zimo immediately took out a medicine box to treat their injuries.
When Shangguan Yahan followed the Sage Yan and the army over, they were resting by the river.
Looking at the scene of corpses and rivers of blood, Shangguan Yahan swallowed her saliva, her heart finally relaxing.
Three hundred elite soldiers immediately dismounted and bowed to Sage Ye. Shangguan Yahan and Sage Yan also dismounted and ran over.
"Brother Seventeen, are you all alright?”Sage Yan asked with concern.
Sage Ye shook his head and walked up to Shangguan Yahan. He looked at her red and swollen eyes and smiled gently," You still came."”
Shangguan Yahan felt so guilty that she was about to die. On the way here, she was worried that something would happen to the three of them. She cried the entire way, and no matter how much Sage Yan tried to persuade her, she couldn't do anything.
"Alright, it's alright now.”Sage Ye pulled her into his arms and patted her back to comfort her.
Shangguan Yahan still hadn't recovered from her shock. She burrowed into Sage Ye's arms again and again, tears pouring out of her eyes.
On the way back, Shangguan Yahan and Sage Ye rode on the same horse and walked at the back of the group. Just like last time, she sat facing Sage Ye and nestled in his arms.
"Why did they come back? Didn't they follow the fake me to their lair?”Shangguan Yahan wrapped her arms around Sage Ye's broad waist and spoke in a nasal voice.
"They realized that the person had been leading them in circles and felt that something was wrong, so they rushed back. That person must have deliberately lured them away.”Sage Ye frowned.
Those who knew about their plan were all trustworthy people, but those people obviously knew about their plan.
He looked down at the little woman in his arms and hesitated for a moment before asking," Yahan 'er, Brother Ye isn't suspecting you, but did you tell anyone about our plan?”
Shangguan Yahan left Sage Ye's embrace and thought about it carefully. Besides you, I only told Miao Xuan.”
Sage Ye's phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously. Shangguan Yahan shivered, and the world became even colder." You suspect Miao Xuan?"”
Sage Ye met her gaze and said seriously," Yahan 'er, I know she's your good friend, but don't you think that these few incidents seem to be related to her? When she went to visit her master on her birthday, and when you went missing, she said that she was going back to her hometown to pay her respects to her deceased grandmother. This time, it was still her.”
Shangguan Yahan's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head instinctively,"That's impossible. I only told her the plan. I didn't tell her that Shangguan Yahan was a fake."”
"Have you forgotten? I'm also her target." Sage Ye squeezed the horse's stomach and sped up.
Along the way, Shangguan Yahan had a lot on her mind.
She was afraid. What if it really was Situ Miaoxuan? She treated Situ Miaoxuan as a good sister. Situ Miaoxuan was indeed very good to her. She could feel that kind of kindness from the bottom of her heart.
However, one might not be able to judge a person's heart from their appearance. After thinking about it carefully, Situ Miaoxuan indeed had many suspicious points. Only now did she know that Situ Miaoxuan was not in the residence when she went missing the last time.
She had watched a few dramas about palace fights in the past and felt that those schemes were too terrifying. Now that those schemes were happening right beside her, she really felt a chill run down her spine.
Therefore, she was praying that it was not Situ Miaoxuan.
When they returned to the residence, the sky was already completely dark. Sage Ye carried Shangguan Yahan directly into the bathroom, helped her take off her clothes, and placed her in the hot spring." Yahan, stay here and warm yourself up. Wait until dinner is ready before you go out…Leave Situ Miaoxuan to me."”
Shangguan Yahan nodded, not saying anything.
After Sage Ye left, he immediately ordered Wen Haolei to lead a large group of guards into the Lanxin Pavilion. They captured Situ Miaoxuan and threw her into the dungeon.
Situ Miaoxuan did not understand what was going on. She was so scared that her entire body was trembling. Tears welled up in her eyes as she asked timidly," Your Highness, what happened?" What crime did this servant commit?"
Sage Ye sat on the chair and looked coldly at her pitiful appearance. The smile on his lips was enough to freeze people to death." Situ Miaoxuan, let me ask you, who are you? Although this king doesn't have any evidence yet, if you don't confess, this king has ways to make you confess.”
Situ Miaoxuan knelt and crawled two steps forward." Your Highness, please speak clearly. What mistake did this servant make?”
"This king doesn't have the mood to listen to your nonsense. Men, torture.”Sage Ye's voice was ruthless and resolute, and his extremely cold gaze became cruel.
