In the darkness that was almost slowly melting into the night, a fire suddenly rose!

I gasped.

That's-

Feeling my shoulders twitching slightly under my palm, Pei Yuanxiu's fingers also pressed my shoulders slightly, stepped forward and walked to me, and looked at the sudden firelight in the distance with me, and frowned immediately.

I was shackled by him and could not move, but I could feel his fingers spasm.

After a while, the hoarse voices of the two people rang at the same time:

"you--"

"you--"

When he said this, the two of them stopped at the same time. He turned his head and looked at me, his eyes flashing a little: "You said."

I took a deep breath: "You know what I'm going to do tonight?"

His eyes flashed slightly: "I don't know."

"That--"

"I just know that I can't give you another chance to leave me."

“…”

"No matter what happens, you can only stay with me."

At this moment, the hand on my shoulder suddenly became a thousand pounds, which made me almost breathless. He felt my paleness and helplessness, and his palm slightly raised, but he still didn't let me go, as if he was afraid that once he let go, I would disappear from his eyes.

He glanced at the Jinling Mansion again, then looked at me: "What do you want to do tonight?"

“…”

"Who are those?"

It was already this moment, and there was no need to hide it anymore. I took a deep breath: "People from Yangzhou Prefecture."

"Sent from Wen Fengxi?"

"yes."

"What are they going to do? Control Jinling Mansion?"

“…”

"Or, are you going to assassinate me?"

“…”

At this moment, I was in chaos.

Shortly after I told Ao Jiayu about the past of the fireworks in Yangzhou City, I found that the back door behind the inner courtyard was blocked. At that time, I was sure that Han Ruoshi would take advantage of the opportunity to set fires on Ao Jiayu, because this "natural disaster" is irresistible by manpower, and there is the reason why Ao Jiayu must set off fireworks, so she can completely clear the suspicion from this matter.

So, I originally believed that this fire should start from the inner courtyard.

But just now, I was a little unsure.

Wen Fengxi sent people to sneak into Jinling Mansion, of course it would not be as simple as creating a little chaos. As the saying goes, "Capture the king first." If he wants to extinguish the source of the war in one fell swoop, then the best way is to kill Pei Yuanxiu directly.

Then the fire in front of me - was it the inner courtyard or the other side of their bridal chamber?

If it was a fire ignited in the inner courtyard, it would be fine, because I had explained to Nangong Lizhu clearly from the beginning, Han Zitong - if she could figure it out by herself, she could save herself by herself.

But if the fire was burning from their bridal chamber-

I suddenly shivered all over and turned my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu, my eyes full of disbelief.

But he was very calm and even looked at me with a little indifference.

When I spoke, my voice was hoarse and almost inaudible in the wind: "You, you left, where is the bridal chamber?"

“…”

"Ao Jiayu, where is it?"

“…”

"Is she in the bridal chamber?"

“…”

"still--"

Pei Yuanxiu said calmly: "She should be in the best place to watch her fireworks."

“…”

His words were light and faint, like the wind blew through his ears, but there was a cold sword in the wind. At this moment, I felt that the blood in my body had condensed into ice.

If the fire is burned from the inner courtyard, then at least one thing tonight is within our control.

If the fire burns the bridal chamber...

Even if the fire broke out in the direction of the bridal chamber, Wen Fengxi's people should take action tonight while his defense is weakest!

No matter what, Ao Jiayu is the most dangerous person tonight!

I looked at him and felt a dull pain in my chest: "Do you know what will happen tonight?"

“…”

"Do you know what will you experience if you leave her alone there?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, but from his eyes that had almost condensed a layer of frost, I saw a nearly cold and thorough understanding. At this moment, I understood everything.

Of course he knew.

Even though he didn't know what Wen Fengxi's people were going to do tonight, he left the bride alone in the bridal chamber, and almost all forces from all sides were staring there tonight, and he could completely predict how things would develop.

But he came alone.

If Ao Jiayu could spend tonight safely, then everything would be as expected; but if Ao Jiayu really had something unexpected tonight - to a large extent, Wen Fengxi's people would attack the bridal chamber tonight, and I could almost imagine the ending of the unarmed little girl.

Just like Pei Yuanzhen's bright red bridal chamber, another touch of blood was added!

What will happen then?

Ao Zhi left Jinling after they became polite. Of course, he would not know what was going on now. When the news came, the person who took action was sent by Wen Fengxi, Yangzhou. King Bohai lost his beloved daughter, and Ao Zhi lost his most beloved sister. I could almost imagine their anger.

Doing so will further intensify the conflict between the Bohai King and the imperial court!

I opened my eyes wide and looked at Pei Yuanxiu: "You did it on purpose!"

“…”

"You have known for a long time, and you have had this plan!"

“…”

"As soon as Ao Jiayu dies, Bohai King will definitely raise an army immediately!"

He lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes covered his indifferent eyes. I couldn't see his eyes clearly, but I could clearly feel the chill. It was the chill that emanated from the depths of my heart, which made me almost unable to feel the coldness of the wind at this moment.

I don't know how long he was silent, but he raised his head and took a step towards me.

And I have no choice but to retreat.

He said, "I have told you that everything I do is for our future."

“…!”

My heart suddenly hurts, but I don’t know what to cry or laugh at this moment. I just feel the coldness of my whole body, but there is a constant stream of hot heat in my eyes: “For our future, you put your newlywed wife in the most dangerous place? Do you know what she is facing now? She may have-"

"Do you really think she is a scheming person?"

His eyes were like ice, and a needle-like thorn flashed through: "Light, she is not as simple as you think!"

“…”

"She obviously just accompanied Ao Zhi to Jinling, but she accepted the marriage so easily."

“…”

"She pesters you every day, asking you to tell her the details of my wedding with you, and she also acts so openly and honestly, asking you to help her see the wedding dress, which is better than the wedding... Do you think she is really so naive, do you think she really says whatever she wants?"

“…”

"She said those words to stimulate you! She said them to make you feel uncomfortable!"

“…”

"I know she is not that simple. After all, she is the daughter of Bohai King. Although he did not re-string after the death of Bohai King's wife, there were never many concubines around him. How could she be so naive when she grew up in such an environment? So I have been sending people to observe her secretly! Xie Feng once heard from her own ears that she said coldly after you left, you are so slow. Her words have already reached this point. You can help her plan her wedding without any sense of consciousness!"

“…”

"She wants you to leave me!"

“…”

"Before she married me, she put all her scheming on you!"
