Compared to Zhou Jingyu's panic, Lin Zhaoyan's side was much smoother. He was indeed unobstructed with the jade token given by Zhou Wanyu.

However, she was not sure where Xiao Qi was now. Looking at the atmosphere in the mansion, she was not as chaotic as Qiaobi said, but she was a little quiet and dull as unreasonable.

After all, the Xiao Mansion is a royal mansion, and the emperor has come out of the Xiao Mansion. Not to mention that there are many guests, someone should visit him.

However, except for patrols and guards everywhere, there is nothing that can reflect the style of a royal palace.

Lin Zhaoyan was strange and walked forward based on his feelings.

Suddenly she heard a loud noise, as if it was coming from the courtyard opposite her.

She was about to walk over subconsciously, but was stopped by the guards guarding outside the yard. "Don't enter the important place of the royal palace, do not enter!"

Lin Zhaoyan skillfully took out the sign given by Zhou Wanyu, "It was the princess who asked me to come here."

The guard, without the respect and caution of others, still had a cold face and repeated expressionlessly: "Don't enter if you are idle."

Lin Zhaoyan saw that his cold expression was still a hint of disdain, which was completely different from the unnatural fear that others in the mansion showed when they mentioned Zhou Jingyu. He almost let her go without asking. He knew that this guard was definitely not from the royal palace.

At least, it is not subject to the control of Zhou Jingyu and Xiao Ming.

Maybe it was brought by Xiao Qi.

This perception made Lin Zhaoyan’s eyes lit up.

If this guard is really Xiao Qi's person, then Xiao Qi must be in this yard!

The noise that just now must have been made by Xiao Qi!

"So what are you going to do? Do you want to kill us all!" A roar suddenly came from the yard, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry and sad.

It was Xiao Ming's voice.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned.

The guard had already pinched her hand without hesitation, "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Lin Zhaoyan also knew that it was useless to stay here, so he quickly pretended to be frightened and ran away stumbled away.

Of course she won't really leave.

Just now, Xiao Ming's voice came from inside, and she could almost determine that Xiao Qi was with him.

Listening to his tone and what was in his words, I knew that although Qiaobi's words were exaggerated, she did not lie to her.

Xiao Qi may really have to deal with Xiao Ming, causing trouble for his brothers and even killing each other.

This is something that must not happen!

After all, he missed the opportunity when he first ascended the throne, and now it is almost impossible to get rid of the Xiao Mansion openly.

Moreover, Lin Zhaoyan didn't think that Xiao Qi chose to let them go, and he would suddenly be unable to get along with them at this time.

Did he say that day that he looked very bad and said that someone was going to take care of his housework was actually about Prince Xiao’s Mansion?

It must be someone who is trying to get up in trouble. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ming will start to make trouble at this time.

No matter what the purpose of that person is, if Xiao Qi really deals with the Xiao Prince's Mansion, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court, and may even threaten his throne and even his life.

Lin Zhaoyan became more and more scared the more he thought about it, but he couldn't get into the yard and didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, she had to go around the back of the yard first and listen clearly to what they were saying. If one of them was not in a relationship, she would make a sound and should be able to temporarily stop it.

If nothing happened, she would talk to Xiao Qi alone later.

In short, the disadvantages of this matter must be minimized.

"Are you threatening me now?" A slow voice was filled with indescribable coldness and indifference.

Lin Zhaoyan had never heard Xiao Qi speak in such a tone, and he called himself "I", and his emotions were complicated for a moment.

Will he talk to himself in this way one day?

After all, the imperial power pursues profit, and even he himself cannot guarantee that his sincerity towards her will never change...

Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, not letting himself think too much, and continued to stick to the corner and listen to the movement inside.

"Brother, I know you are the emperor now. You are extremely powerful, I have no ability or capital to threaten you, but what I said just now is sincere. I will let go of my mother and father. Otherwise, I will definitely tell you the dirty tricks of how you got to this position!"

"Do you think someone believes you said it?" Another cold and disdainful voice was Xu Xiujin.

Lin Zhaoyan frowned when she heard this. In her impression, Xiao Ming should be a weak, intelligent, kind and just young man. He was even more sincere about Xiao Qi's brotherly friendship. What happened to him to say this?

"If you believe it or not, it is naturally not within my control. I am just doing what I should do. I believe that as the emperor's younger brother, I always make trouble for a while when I say such words. Are you still afraid that no one will take advantage of the problem at that time?" Xiao Ming silently said and continued.

"You!" Xu Xiujin was angry.

"You are not afraid that I will kill you." Xiao Qi took over the conversation lightly.

"Don't I say that my elder brother will let me go? You just deceived me like a fool. I have always regarded you as the person I trust the most. As a result, this trust almost killed my father and mother!" Xiao Ming said with a little excitement.

Xiao Qi said disdainfully: "If I really want to kill you, you will definitely not live until today without this life. You will not stand here arrogantly and question and threaten me."

"Since that's the case, why didn't my brother kill us as soon as possible? Why should we keep these disasters that threaten you to this day? If you killed me earlier, I don't have to suffer like this." Xiao Ming fought back self-deprecatingly.

"It's over here, and it's useless to say more. I won't kill you or let them go. What do you want? Just do it!"

"Xiao Qi, you're crazy!" Xu Xiujin said excitedly: "Although this matter was obviously someone deliberately plotting, and you will be criticized no matter what you do, but it's better to be a slaughter than to be the leader of the Chaozhou position. Just find a reason to suppress it!"

Xu Xiujin asked Xiao Qi to kill Xiao Ming.

Lin Zhaoyan widened his eyes and was about to speak out when he heard Xiao Qi say lightly: "I won't kill him, I will never."

"Why?!"

"He is my only family." Although Xiao Qi's words were still cold, it can be heard that there was a hint of sadness in it.

Xiao Ming was also silent.

After a long time, I heard him say, "Since that's the case, why can't you let your mother go? She did something wrong, but she also has her own difficulties and she is also a victim!"

"Xiao Ming, do you think Xiao Qi doesn't want to let her go? She can't let Xiao Qi go. Do you believe it? Once Xiao Qi releases her, she will immediately take Xiao Qi's life!"

Xiao Ming hurriedly said: "How could it be, my mother is not that kind of person, she..."

"Xiao Ming." Xiao Qi interrupted his words, "I am willing to see you today, not to show that I compromise with you, but to make you clear about my position. I cannot let someone kill me at all times. As for you... If you are willing to be instigated, then nothing I say is useless, so you can do it yourself."

Lin Zhaoyan was exhausted when she heard this. It seemed that the conflict between the two brothers was even more serious than she thought. What's more important is that she didn't understand what happened now. How should she help?

Just when she was worried, she suddenly heard a violent knock on the door, accompanied by the excited shouts of a woman.

Lin Zhaoyan was a little familiar with the voice and carefully identified it, it turned out to be Zhou Jingyu's voice.

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking whether Zhou Jingyu recognized her and so she caught up with her?

But she thought again, the door god who was guarding outside the yard would not let her break in, right?

Sure enough, Zhou Jingyu knocked on the door for a while and then there was no movement.

Xiao Ming was probably worried about Zhou Jingyu, so he did not refute Xiao Qi's words anymore, and just said: "I'll go out and have a look."

Xiao Qi did not respond, but Lin Zhaoyan heard a burst of footsteps, and they probably left the yard together.

Because it was far apart, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't hear the sound outside the yard clearly, but he could vaguely hear the conversation between Zhou Jingyu and Xiao Ming, and there were only two of them, so he wondered if it was Xiao Qi and the others who had left?

She waited silently for a while, and then heard Xiao Ming say anxiously: "Jingyu, why are you here? Didn't I say that you should not get close to here?"

"I, I'm fine, Xiao Ming, has anyone else found you except the Emperor and Xu Xiujin?" Zhou Jingyu's voice sounded more anxious than him.

Lin Zhaoyan finally confirmed that Xiao Qi and the others had left, so he was no longer interested in listening. He was about to turn around and leave when someone grabbed him.

"You are really looking for death!"

It was the voice of the guard just now.

Lin Zhaoyan immediately felt a sense of suffocation and immediately struggled with joy, "Let go, let go... cough cough..."

"I'm afraid you don't have this chance!" As he said, he increased the strength in his hand.

Lin Zhaoyan's breathing gradually became difficult, and his hands gradually lost their strength by relying on his wrist.

"Ating, let her go!" Just as she was about to faint, the force that pinched her neck suddenly disappeared, and then she fell forward and threw herself into a familiar and warm embrace.

"Master, she just wanted to break into the yard, but was stopped by me and hid here and eavesdropped on me. I don't know what she meant!"

Lin Zhaoyan stroked his neck and gasped, and after a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I, I don't..."

"How come you are here!" Xiao Qi let go of Lin Zhaoyan and asked at her.

But looking at his expression is more afraid than angry.

Just now, he heard Artin say that someone was hiding behind the yard and eavesdropping, so he followed him. He didn't think much about it, just thinking that it was someone with a ill-thinking plan, who would have thought it would be her!

If he hadn't discovered it in time, with Arting's strength, she would have seen the King of Hell long ago!

Has the comfortable life she has deteriorated her mind these days? She can do such a dangerous thing!

"Lin Zhaoyan, you'd better explain the matter to me!" Xiao Qi's face turned pale and his tone was unreasonable.
