At this time, Yang Zijin heard someone approaching the door, and then she heard Yingnuo's voice, "Your Highness, have you got up?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" Yang Zijin replied to her.

Yingnuo said, "Can I come in?"

Hearing that, Yang Zijin walked to the door and opened it. "Come in."

Yingnuo leaned forward and walked in. Then, she went straight to Yang Zijin.

Then, she said, "Your Highness, you get on the carriage later, and there is a secret compartment in it. Aunt Ping has made girls who are about the same age and figure as you and your servant girl respectively hide in the secret compartment. Then, you can escape from the monitoring of the King of Beiling's spies secretly. After your escape, it must not be difficult for your two guards to get away."

Hearing that, Yang Zijin nodded and said to Yingnuo, "That's a good plan, and I'm sorry to trouble you to express my thanks to Aunt Ping."

Yingnuo gave a smile and said, "Aunt Ping said you don't need to thank her. She said she admitted defeat for the bet. She's supposed to do this."

At this moment, Pei Moning and others also came in.

Yingnuo smiled and saluted them. Then, she said, "Your Highness, the King of Beiling's men have been waiting below for a long time. They asked me to ask you when to leave."

Yang Zijin raised her eyebrows and said, "Since they can't wait, let's go now." Then, she walked out.

When they walked out of the courtyard, they saw Yan Ji's men waiting at the door. All the people held some stuff in their hands. It seemed to be the special local products of Beiling prepared by Yan Ji.

Seeing Yang Zijin and others walking out, Zhan Qi walked up to her and said with his hands arched, "Your Highness."

Yang Zijin had a look at the stuff in those people's hands and then said, "Thanks."

Zhan Qi gave a smile and took the small box held by the guard on the side. He said, "Your Highness, since you came from afar and will go back now without living a long time in Beiling, His Majesty especially went to the jewelry cabinet and selected an accessory. Hope you like it."

Then, Zhan Qi came up to Yang Zijin and gave the box to her.

Hearing that, Yang Zijin frowned slightly. What did Yan Ji want to do?

Yang Zijin smiled and took the box. She opened it and had a look, finding that it was indeed a very fine jade pendant.

Then, she closed the box and said with a smile, "Fine. I like it very much. I, Qingcheng, thank His Majesty so much."

Then, Yang Zijin gave the box to Jiang Wei behind her.

Zhan Qi looked back and said to Yang Zijin, "His Majesty also prepared some presents for the Empress Dowager of Dongling. Sorry to trouble Your Highness to take them for Her Highness."

Yang Zijin nodded and said with a smile, "That's OK. I will take all these things prepared by His Majesty to Her Highness."

"Thanks a lot, Your Highness." Zhan Qi said, arching his hands.

After Zhan Qi finished his words, Yang Zijin looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. We have to set off."

"Your Highness, please." Zhan Qi stretched out his hand to make a pose of "please".

Then Yang Zijin walked out.

Yingnuo also followed her. When they reached the gate of Snowy House, Yingnuo asked someone to bring the carriage.

Then, Yingnuo walked up to Yang Zijin and said, "Your Highness, your carriage is ready."

"OK." Yang Zijin bent her head slightly.

Yang Zijin looked at Zhan Qi on the side and said, "Young Master Zhan, it's hard to put all these things in the carriage. How about having another one?"

Zhan Qi said to Yang Zijin, "It's thoughtless of me, but preparing another carriage now may..."

Before he could finish his words, Pei Moning on the side interrupted him, "What do you mean? Do you want Her Highness to sit outside the carriage?"

Hearing Pei Moning's words, Zhan Qi said quickly, "Young Master Pei, you misunderstand me. It's indeed thoughtless of me. Since that’s the case, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while. I'll ask someone to prepare another carriage quickly."

Then, he called over the person behind him.

At this time, Yingnuo walked over with a smile and said, "Don't bother about it. There happened to be an idle carriage in the backyard. I would give it to you, Your Highness. Hope that you would not dislike it."

Yang Zijin looked at Zhan Qi and asked, "What do you think, Guard Zhan?"

Hearing that, Zhan Qi smiled and said, "Since it is so, sorry to trouble you and thank you so much, Yingnuo."

Yingnuo nodded and gave an order to the people on her side.

Before long, someone brought the carriage over here.

After the carriage stopped, Zhan Qi looked at the people behind him, signaling them to put the stuff on the carriage.

Zhan Qi walked up to Yang Zijin and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready. Wish you a pleasant journey to Dongling."

Yang Zijin said to Zhan Qi with a smile, "Guard Zhan, thank you for your blessings. Let's part our ways now. Please help me express my gratitude to His Majesty for his hospitality these days."

Hearing that, Zhan Qi nodded and said, "Your Highness, you may rest assured that I'll send your words to His Majesty."

Yang Zijin nodded and then got into the carriage.

Jiang Wei glanced at Zhan Qi. Then, she walked forward, pulled the reins of the carriage, and then sat on it.

According to her years of experience in assassinations, she felt a hint of homicidal intent in Zhan Qi's eyes. They must extricate themselves on the way as soon as possible.

Then, Jiang Wei drove the carriage in front.

As there was another carriage carrying the stuff prepared by the King of Beiling, Pei Moning dismounted his horse and walked to that carriage, becoming the driver of it.

Pei Moning looked at Runyu, and Runyu nodded to him. Then, Runyu followed Yang Zijin's carriage towards the city gate of Beiling.

They heard Zhan Qi's voice coming from behind them. "Goodbye, Your Highness!"

When Yang Zijin's carriage was out of sight, Yingnuo walked up to Zhan Qi and saluted him, "Young Master Zhan, would you like to take a rest in Snowy House?"

Zhan Qi said to Yingnuo, "I have so many complicated matters in the Palace. Don't bother."

Yingnuo nodded and said, "Since it is so, Young Master Zhan, you can come to Snowy House whenever you're free. You're always welcome here."

Zhan Qi said, "Thank you for your kindness. Then, I'll leave."

Yingnuo nodded with a smile. She saw Zhan Qi and others left the gate of Snowy House and then she went back.

As soon as she got in, someone walked up to Yingnuo and said, "Yingnuo, Aunt Ping is waiting for you in the room."

Hearing that, Yingnuo nodded, "OK, I know." Then, she strode to Aunt Ping's chamber.

Usually, Aunt Ping didn't come to Snowy House if there was nothing important. Aunt Ping enjoyed serenity and peace, so she set up a few rooms in Snowy House's backyard for her to rest when she came.

When Yingnuo reached the door and was about to knock it, Aunt Ping in the room said, "Come in."

"Yes, Aunt Ping." Yingnuo replied to her. She pushed the door, walked in, and then closed the door.

Aunt Ping held a bronze mirror and looked into it left and right. Then she asked with a voice which did not match her appearance, "How's it going?"

Yingnuo came up to her and said, "Aunt Ping, they have gone, but..."

Yingnuo made a pause.

Hearing that, Aunt Ping put down her bronze mirror and asked Yingnuo, "But what?"

Yingnuo frowned slightly and said, "I feel that there is something wrong with the King of Beiling's men."

"What's the matter?" Aunt Ping asked.

Yingnuo dropped her eyes slightly and thought for a moment. Then, she said, "I felt a hint of homicidal intent in him. Shall we send some people secretly..."

Hearing that, Aunt Ping stopped for a short while and interrupted Yingnuo, "Really? Just ignore it." Then, she took up her bronze mirror again and looked into it.

She hove a sigh and touched her face with her hand, "Though the facial disguise technique could change the appearance, it cannot change my voice."

Hearing that, Yingnuo said, "Aunt Ping, how can you say that? Since ancient times, there has been reincarnation in the world. No matter how beautiful one's appearance is, there will be a day of aging. No one can stay young forever."

When Yingnuo finished her words, Aunt Ping said with a smile, "I really like you. Though the words you said are sad, they do make sense."

"Aunt Ping, I think we need to send some people to protect them. Otherwise, if there's something wrong with Infanta Qingcheng, it may generate unpleasure between you and him." Yingnuo said.

Aunt Ping glanced at Yingnuo and said, "Don't worry. Those people escorting the infanta couldn't be that ordinary. If they can't even notice it, the infanta would deserve to die. Then, this could make that guy abandon his thought."

Yingnuo bent her body slightly and said, "Aunt Ping, you do make sense. I worry too much."

Then, Aunt Ping said, "You back off and make some preparations. I'll live here these days."

"Yes. I'll go and prepare for you." Yingnuo nodded and then walked out of the room.

After Yingnuo had left, Aunt Ping put down the bronze mirror again. She wondered how this Infanta Qingcheng could make Ghost Immortal condescend to escort her to Beiling.

She could not figure out the reason.

At this time, as soon as Zhan Qi left Snowy House, he and a group of people followed Yang Zijin's carriage out of the city as planned.

After they had gone out of the city, Jiang Wei bent her body backward slightly and said, "Your Ladyship, do you think there's something wrong with that Guard Zhan?"

Hearing that, Yang Zijin frowned slightly and said to Jiang Wei, "What's the matter? I was thinking about the later secret escape and did not notice it. What do you find out?"

Jiang Wei whispered, "There's a hint of homicidal intent in his eyes."

Hearing that, Yang Zijin dropped her eyes slightly. Homicidal intent? It was hard for Jiang Wei to misjudge it according to her previous experience.

But why? Yan Ji only needed to ask people to see her off the city. Why did he want to kill her?

Did he hate that she was Yan He's flesh and blood?
