He overbearingly grabbed Mu Yuanzhi's waist, lowered his head and fiercely kissed her lips!

The soft sensation made Xiao Yichen addicted, and he unconsciously wanted to delve deeper.

So sweet.

It turns out she's so sweet.

Mu Yuanzhi passively endured Xiao Yichen's assault, as violent as a storm; no matter how she struggled, it was to no avail, she couldn't budge an inch.

She clenched her teeth tightly to stop him from continuing his attack, but Xiao Yichen's fiery kiss offensive was impossible to resist; soon, not only her lips, but even the tightly guarded last line of her teeth were pried open by him.

Mu Yuanzhi was furious, she bit down hard!

The bloody taste instantly spread; the pained Xiao Yichen shoved Mu Yuanzhi away, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He was like an enraged beast, dangerous and terrifying.

Mu Yuanzhi panted as she went to pick up the vermilion hairpin on the ground, her self-defense weapon clutched tightly in her hand.

One-on-one, she was no match for Xiao Yichen at all.

What should we do?

The door was locked; was she truly unable to fly away even with wings?

She never imagined Xiao Yichen would be so shameless!

Xiao Yichen said nothing, the aura around him low; blood from the tongue bitten by Mu Yuanzhi seeped to the corner of his mouth, but he let it flow as if he felt nothing.

He looked even more dangerous like this.

Xiao Yichen stepped slowly toward Mu Yuanzhi; she unconsciously stepped back, while her mind raced to think of a plan.

Got it!

On the table behind her stood a vase!

Almost in a flash of peripheral vision seeing the vase, Mu Yuanzhi grabbed it without thinking and threw it at Xiao Yichen!

Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes, reached out and knocked away the vase flying at his vital point; clatter, the vase shattered on the ground.

His arm also got cut, blood instantly soaking his sleeve.

"Mu Yuanzhi, do you really want me dead?!" The chill in Xiao Yichen's tone was unprecedentedly cold; if the murderous glare in his eyes could kill, Mu Yuanzhi would already have been hacked to pieces by him.

"Exactly, you finally got smart once."

Even at this moment, Mu Yuanzhi had no intention of yielding, saying some pleasant words to calm his anger.

Because she knew Xiao Yichen too well; this man, when furious, would ignore pleas or anything else; this stone-hearted man only softens for Pei Yunxi.

And she was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Today, this scoundrel's use of such despicable tactics is purely to humiliate her, right?

Is it because she no longer likes him, chased after him, and he's just unwilling to accept it?

A psychologically twisted pervert!

This villa, who knows if anyone usually lives here; aside from the vase she just threw, there's nothing else that can be easily moved as a weapon!

Xiao Yichen also knew she had no weapon left to attack him with, he curled his lips in mockery: "Still throwing?"

His gaze was like looking at a dying struggling prey, full of leisurely mockery.

Just then, outside suddenly sounded the launch of a signal arrow!

Xiao Yichen's lip corners instantly dropped, he glanced suspiciously out the window.

Mu Yuanzhi let out a half sigh, her face relaxed considerably, she smiled and said: "The people in my palace aren't vegetarians; guess why I dare come alone?"

"So you're not completely off guard against Gu Rongjin either." Xiao Yichen's focus, however, was this.

This realization made his mood inexplicably improve, as if he weren't at all worried that his scheme would be exposed.

"It doesn't matter who; whenever I go out, I leave a mark, and my people, if they don't see me return within a set time, will follow the mark to find me."

The one outside must be Xiao Nianzi; slipping out of the palace gate through a dog hole is quite simple for him.

Xiao Yichen's expression returned to that of having victory in hand just before: "When do you think your reinforcements will arrive?"

Hearing that, Mu Yuanzhi felt uneasy again.

Yeah, even if the people in Weiyang Palace see Xiao Nianzi's signal arrow and then bring reinforcements, it would probably take half an hour or more!

With so much time, how should she contend with Xiao Yichen?

Xiao Yichen, however, had no intention of giving Mu Yuanzhi a chance to stall; he had already walked up to her, looking at her like a trembling white rabbit that still forced composure.

As it turns out, hunters are this, this happy when hunting prey.

For the first time, Xiao Yichen experienced this pleasure.

His prey still thought it had a chance to escape, but in the end could only be torn apart and devoured by the hunter.

Even now she had no intention of begging for mercy, saying some pleasant words to coax him; maybe he'd change his mind.

Boom—!

With a not-so-small explosion sound, the villa's gate was blown open!

Mu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up; she's here!

Xiao Yichen snapped his head back; amidst flying dust, Gu Rongjin covered his mouth and nose and entered, along with Xiao Nianzi.

It's Gu Rongjin, and him again! He's come to save her!

Every time she fell into a mire, he appeared just in time.

Mu Yuanzhi couldn't describe what she was feeling now; her heart rate was completely uncontrollable.

"I never expected it to actually be you, Chief Minister Xiao!" Xiao Nianzi pointed fiercely at Xiao Yichen, coughed a few times to clear the dust, seeing Mu Yuanzhi unharmed and standing, he immediately rushed over: "Master! Are you alright?!"

Mu Yuanzhi nodded: "No problem, great job, Xiao Nianzi."

"You really have guts, Xiao Yichen!" Gu Rongjin's voice rose gradually, harsh and cold.

Mu Yuanzhi saw Gu Rongjin like this for the first time; that altogether out-of-tune man, without his usual playful smile, his whole person exuded a deep, secluded cold.

Gu Rongjin's gaze fell on Mu Yuanzhi's disheveled clothing collar, without a word he struck Xiao Yichen with a palm!

His movement was as fast as lightning, almost in an instant he reached Xiao Yichen's front; this palm strike sent the unprepared Xiao Yichen stumbling back several steps, hitting a stone pillar, and instantly he spat out a mouthful of blood!

How strong his internal energy is!

"You're not pretending, Gu Rongjin?" Xiao Yichen, who had taken a hit, laughed instead, "You are indeed the mastermind behind the extermination and arson case!"

He finished speaking and looked at Mu Yuanzhi: "Do you see, Yuanzhi, what kind of person is your future husband?"

"I see, he is my hero." Mu Yuanzhi instantly stood behind Gu Rongjin, then fiercely jabbed at Xiao Yichen: "You are nothing but a despicable villain!"

Mu Yuanzhi's words instantly filled Xiao Yichen's anger; he gazed at them gloomily, striving to suppress his burning anger.

"What are you angry about, Xiao Yichen? You'd better think about how to explain yourself to His Majesty later." Gu Rongjin, standing protectively in front of Mu Yuanzhi, snapped his fingers, and someone brought in a man under escort.

Mu Yuanzhi recognized him; it was the man who had just deceived her into coming here!

Xiao Yichen's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected Gu Rongjin to actually find someone in such a short time!

It seems you have placed more spies in Jingcheng than I imagined, Lord Gu.

Gu Rongjin curled his lips in a smile: "Don't spout nonsense, Prime Minister Xiao, please proceed."

Xiao Yichen flicked his sleeve and walked straight ahead.

Mu Yuanzhi curiously asked Gu Rongjin: "How do you know what the signal arrow signifies?"

Gu Rongjin naturally reached out to straighten Mu Yuanzhi's clothing, returning to his usual carefree demeanor: "Because our hearts are in sync, we understand each other instantly."

"If you don't want to say, then forget it." Mu Yuanzhi pulled away Gu Rongjin's hand; she wasn't used to such intimate gestures.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, don't be angry." Gu Rongjin said in a conciliatory tone: "I discovered my jade pendant was missing; I suspected that Xiao Yichen and Pei Shangyan, who deliberately approached me, were involved, so I went straight to the Prime Minister's residence the first chance I got, but on the way I also saw the signal arrow, and I guessed the two must be related—and indeed they were."

"Pei Shangyan is involved too?!" Mu Yuanzhi clenched her teeth.

I didn't expect Pei Shangyan to be involved as well!

Is he even human?!

Recalling the last time he said he wanted her to marry Xiao Yichen as a concubine, Mu Yuanzhi thought his lustful heart was bad enough, but she never expected him to also conspire with Xiao Yichen to create such a morally depraved scheme!

Gu Rongjin nodded: "That's right, your older brother is no good either."

"I know." She had long known he was no good.

"Then, through your spies in Jingcheng, you quickly and accurately located where the signal arrow was fired?" Mu Yuanzhi understood.

"Yeah, that's it. Come on, we need to settle accounts with those two scumbags!"

Half an hour later in Xuanshi Hall, the Son of Heaven listened to the full account, his back turned to their silhouettes, remaining motionless for a long time without speaking.

The palace attendants had long been dismissed; only a few of the parties remained in the hall, with Pei Shangyan and Xiao Yichen kneeling on the ground awaiting the Son of Heaven's judgment.

Both of them knelt properly, their backs straight, expressions solemn, as if they were not admitting fault but simply awaiting judgment.

What will the Son of Heaven do? Mu Yuanzhi was very curious; by now, she wondered how he would cover up for his beloved son and son-in-law.

Then she heard a heavy sigh; she knew the Son of Heaven had already decided.

"Father Emperor, Xiao Qing, you are one my beloved son, the state's heir; the other is my future beloved son-in-law, a pillar of the court—yet now you both have lost your senses and committed such shameless, immoral acts!"

"Father Emperor, your anger and joy, I, your servant, acknowledge my guilt; I have nothing to say." Pei Shangyan lowered his head.

"I am guilty; please, Your Majesty, mete out punishment." Xiao Yichen did not try to excuse himself.

Mu Yuanzhi waited quietly for the outcome, while Gu Rongjin stood beside her, like her confidence, supporting her.

"Good, you do have a sincere attitude of admitting fault." The Son of Heaven turned around, his tone icy and mocking: "You all must accept punishment, but do you know what crime I will impose?!" The Son of Heaven angrily flung aside the memorial he had finished reading.

The two performed a deep bow, not daring to speak again.
