It was late at night.

In the Palace, the fire was blazing in the backyard of Shuofeng Hall.

Commandery Princess Jingle squatted in front of a brazier worriedly and tore off the pages of The Exquisite Collection of Delicacies in her hand one by one.

The autumnal whirlwind blew with grumbling whimpers.

The charcoal fire crackled with a few sparks.

Jingle shrank her neck in fright and opened her frightened eyes to look around.

"Concubine Yun, don't blame me. It is you who takes Ninth Uncle from me... I only destroy your recipes. It doesn't go too far!"

After talking to herself, Jingle felt that the guilt in her heart had been alleviated a lot and became relaxed.

"Hmm, Peach Blossom... Jiaozhu Pear Curd..."

Her gaze turned back to the dilapidated book again. The girl flipped through it indifferently and casually, tearing off two pages of paper and tearing them apart.

When she was about to throw the pieces into the charcoal brazier, she was interrupted by a sudden low roar.

"What are you doing?"

Jingle was shocked, and the book with a few pages left on her lap slid into the charcoal brazier.

Suddenly, the fire became more violent, and it jumped up from the brazier.

Before the girl could respond, a figure had fallen to the opposite side of her as fast as a bolt of lightning. In an instant, the charred book was taken from the brazier.

"Lord Le, why are you here?"

Jingle stood up in a daze and looked at the visitor in a crow-blue official suit.

Wasn't this Lord Bingbi of the Imperial Ceremony Office, the one who teased her?

Leshuang's cold and handsome face was reflected by the jumping fire with chagrin in his eyes.

Ignoring Jingle's doubts, he spread out the incomplete book and felt his heart bleeding.

"I can't believe you have this book..."

"No, I didn't steal the book. I didn't kill anyone!"

Jingle realized the seriousness of the situation and shook her head in fear.

"Her Grace Concubine Yun regards it as the most precious treasure. Why do you destroy it?"

Leshuang opened his delicate beautiful long eyes wide and got close to the girl.

Jingle looked at him in surprise, and the resentment on her face became heavier.

"I hate her. I just want to get revenge on her! It is she who steals Ninth Uncle. It is she who orders the wicked to destroy my reputation. Since she steals my most important treasure first, what is wrong with me now destroying what she values?"

Leshuang stopped arguing with her in an instant, only silently looking at her bristle with anger. His indifferent smile was quite sad and bitter.

The girl bit her lip in a rage and finally felt flurried due to the man's unusually calm gaze.

Being overwhelmed and raising her head, she lost her temper hysterically. She waved her fists and shouted with blushes.

"So, you're also enchanted by her, right? I ruined her book. You're angry, aren't you? Thinking that she will be sad, you will be sad with her, right?"

"His Majesty is like this. Ninth Uncle is like this. So are you now. You're crazy. You're all crazy!"

"You are wrong, Ying'er. I will be heartbroken, not for the book or Her Grace Concubine Yun, but for you."

Jingle suddenly shut up and looked at Leshuang's dark deep eyes. She was confused.

Looking at each other, Leshuang no longer shied away from it and frankly said.

"Ying'er, to be honest, I really feel sorry for you. I know you're not a heinous, pretentious, or unreasonable girl as they think at all. You've just been lonely for too long and want to be noticed all the time."

Jingle was gagged for a moment and stood there blankly. Gradually, tears sprang up in her eyes.

Leshuang's eyes immediately turned red, and he sighed.

"You are so kind and innocent. Seeing that you have been deceived and used by others, I only hate myself for not being able to protect you in time."

Jingle looked aside in confusion with fear in her bright eyes and shyly asked.

"Leshuang... Lord Le, who are you?"

Leshuang smiled slightly. When he was about to answer, a loud noise suddenly came into the courtyard.

"Ha-ha, let me tell you who he is."

Yue Xilou, Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot led a team of guards. Seeing that Jingle and Leshuang were so close, he threw the things in his arms at the feet of the two people with a trace of gloomy light in his sharp eyes.

There was the rabbit mask and nocturnal clothes...

Jingle took two steps back in amazement and was attracted by the rabbit mask.

Yue Xilou held a faded pearl flower in his hand. His playful laughter was like the sound of the musical instrument without any signs of anger.

"You can't guess that the 'big brother' you have in mind is my godson, Le Xiaobei, Bingbi of the Imperial Ceremony Office, Lord Le."

Yue Xilou rolled his evil cold eyes and looked at Leshuang directly without seeing Jingle who was quiet in amazement.

"In the past few years, I have always felt that someone is spying on me at all times."

"I rack my brains to guess him and look for him. I also instigate His Majesty to kill many people of the Eastern Depot and the Imperial Ceremony Office in the Palace. Some of them are even my followers. Unexpectedly, the person wanting to kill me is my godson who is promoted to the Second-in-Command of the Imperial Ceremony Office by me."

As soon as the long voice faded, the guards behind him parted to the sides.

One man who was tied up by the hemp rope was pushed out of the queue.

Even though he was tortured and unidentifiable, Leshuang still recognized this person. He was the little eunuch sent by himself to deliver a letter to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

With his ten fingers quietly gathering strength in the sleeves, Leshuang became serious with his eyes as sharp as a blade.

"It is you who killed the envoy of Ying State to frame Concubine Yun and stole her The Exquisite Collection of Delicacies!"

Yue Xilou smiled leisurely after hearing it. His words were cold and sharp as ice.

"I didn't kill anyone. Sakata Aki was killed because someone else designed a trap to hurt Concubine Yun. I just countermined and snatched The Exquisite Collection of Delicacies from the designer to find you out."

Leshuang's face twitched unwillingly.

"No wonder that you give the book to Ying'er and force her to destroy it."

Yue Xilou flipped the pearl flower to the ground and smirked.

"Man, you're still young!"

"Ying'er, come with me!"

Leshuang did not tangle with Yue Xilou and stretched out his arms to hold Jingle. However, Yue Xilou prevented Leshuang with his palm and immediately kicked Leshuang's knees.

This little Commandery Princess, who was involved in several incidents, was both a party and a witness. She could not be taken away by Leshuang.

Leshuang retreated violently to avoid the attack. With a punch, he fought against Yue Xilou and jumped on the ridge with the broken book.

Yue Xilou followed Leshuang closely and smiled at him when getting to the eave.

"Good job. It turns out that I'm clumsy, not knowing that Lord Le is also a hidden martial arts master."

Leshuang gritted his teeth and turned around all the way to leap onto roofs and vault over walls, but it was difficult for him to get rid of Yue Xilou.

Jingle stood in the courtyard alone and picked up the pearl flower from the ground that had been trampled on by Yue Xilou.

Trying to recall and search through every inch of her memory, she felt less confused and understood it.

She finally remembered this pearl flower and someone.

Tears bursting into her eyes, the girl cried and laughed at the pearl flower.

Until now she knew that the person who really knew herself in the world was not the man she had always deeply loved, but the person who stayed in a corner of a certain time and was most easily ignored by herself.

"It turns out to be him... It's always been him..."

Holding the pearl flower in her arms firmly, Jingle cried loudly. She suddenly looked up at the guards and prayed.

"No, you can't hurt him! He is a good man, and he saved me!"

The hundredor came and raised his eyebrows.

"What are you saying, Your Highness? Lord Le is Lord Yue's godson. What can be the overnight feud between a father and a son?"

"Our Lord has carefully trained him, and now he cannot bear to let him go astray."

"Your Highness, since you and Bingbi Leshuang are old acquaintances, why not go with us? When finding them, I hope that Your Highness would persuade Lord Bingbi with good words and let him change his mind as soon as possible."

Commandery Princess Jingle was young and had little experience. She was coaxed by the hundredor's words and only felt that his words were reasonable.

If she could really persuade Leshuang not to oppose Yue Xilou, he would not be severely punished.

Thinking of this, Jingle nodded bravely with the pearl flower in her hand. An innocent smile showed on her delicate face.

"Well, I will go with you to look for Lord Le."

"Okay, Your Highness, please."

The hundredor nodded with a cold murderous light flashing in his dark deep eyes.
