"Lord, the clothes are ready." After the door creaked open, a gentle female voice came from inside the room. It was the return of the four women, two in white and two in black.
"Weren't they supposed to go out from this side?" Ji Feiyu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Bai Xiaofeng explained with a smile, "This is the back door. The one over there in the house is the front door."
Ji Feiyu was a bit speechless. Then, Bai Xiaofeng, who had stood up, pushed her into the room. "Go, go. What are you standing there for? Go change your clothes."
...
By the time Ji Feiyu was tidied up and dressed neatly, the sun had already illuminated the earth.
Bai Xiaofeng took her to a rather unassuming small building.
Since both of them were dressed in pure white and had outstanding looks, their appearance together attracted a lot of attention.
"Who on earth are you taking me to meet?" Ji Feiyu asked as they walked. But Bai Xiaofeng didn't answer. It was not until they reached the door of the private room that she said, "Go in and see for yourself."
Hearing this, Ji Feiyu couldn't help but feel puzzled. She was a bit curious but didn't dare to directly push the door open.
She was afraid that once she went in, she would see someone she didn't want to see. But the truth was so cruel. The Second Prince, no, now the King of Beihan, Yu Chi Yanyan, was sitting upright inside.
As soon as Yu Chi Yanyan saw Ji Feiyu, he smiled subtly. He said to Bai Xiaofeng behind her, "So the old acquaintance A Bai mentioned is her."
Bai Xiaofeng pushed Ji Feiyu into the room. After closing the door behind them, she said, "You've known each other for a long time, haven't you?"
Ji Feiyu immediately lost her composure. It seemed that she had been sold out by these two in partnership.
"Bai Xiaofeng! How do you know him?" Ji Feiyu was not only out of composure but also extremely frustrated now. Because Yu Chi Yanyan's appearance in Dayong meant that there had been new changes in the court situation - Beihan had also secretly taken action behind the scenes.
"Didn't I say that I'm doing something traitorous?" Bai Xiaofeng looked at Ji Feiyu with her beautiful eyes blinking.
"So you knew about my relationship with him from the very beginning!" Ji Feiyu pointed at Yu Chi Yanyan, who was watching the show, and asked through gritted teeth.
This time, Bai Xiaofeng seemed a bit innocent. "No, I had no idea about your relationship with Yanyan. But Yanyan knew all about your relationship with me clearly."
"You!" Ji Feiyu was so angry that she couldn't speak. Bai Xiaofeng then added, "What's your relationship with Yanyan exactly? Can you tell me? I'm really curious."
Ji Feiyu was almost out of breath. Yu Chi Yanyan found her expression quite amusing and said, "A Bai, stop teasing her. There are still honored guests coming."
Only then did Bai Xiaofeng react. "Oh right, there are still honored guests. Yu'er, come and sit with me!"
Ji Feiyu gave Yu Chi Yanyan a defensive look and naturally chose to stay close to Bai Xiaofeng. She was just wondering in her heart who the honored guest could be.
Just as Ji Feiyu was thinking about figuring out the relationship between Bai Xiaofeng and Yu Chi Yanyan, the door was opened again. This time, it was Lin Chujie who came in.
Lin Chujie obviously didn't expect to see Ji Feiyu here. He couldn't help but be startled. Ji Feiyu, however, held back the urge to curse and maintained a smile, then leaned towards Bai Xiaofeng.
"What on earth are you guys up to?" Ji Feiyu whispered in Bai Xiaofeng's ear.
Bai Xiaofeng slightly curled his lips. Without looking at her, he also whispered, "You'll know when you listen."
Ji Feiyu immediately understood that they were giving her a chance. She adjusted her mood and looked at Lin Chujie, the old fox.
At this time, Lin Chujie also reacted. He said to Bai Xiaofeng, "Lord, what does this mean? My son was seriously injured because of this woman. But you've called her here. It seems that you don't want to cooperate with me anymore?"
Bai Xiaofeng said, "Lord Lin, you may not know this. Do you know how your son managed to return home safely? If it weren't for the Queen risking her life to save him, your son might still be locked up in the palace!"
Lin Chujie's face showed surprise and doubt. Bai Xiaofeng continued, "I saw this with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, Lord Lin, you can send someone to ask the informants in the palace to find out the truth."
Lin Chujie narrowed his eyes and bowed to Ji Feiyu. "In that case, I'm disrespectful. I suppose the Queen must have fallen out with the Emperor because of saving my son this time. I wonder what about my son caught the Queen's eye and made the Queen do this for him."
Ji Feiyu's mind was working fast. This was a very rare opportunity to directly infiltrate the enemy's camp. If she didn't turn against them and show her disdain at this moment, how could she get close to them and find out their next plan? So, with a look of disdain on her face, she sneered, "Lord Lin is really overestimating your son. I was willing to save him just because I couldn't stand this matter. My argument with the Emperor was also due to long - standing grievances and has nothing to do with your son."
Ji Feiyu thought that the more she said this, the more Lin Chujie would think that she had an unusual relationship with Lin Zhiran. Sure enough, after hearing this, Lin Chujie's expression softened a lot. Instead, he flattered her falsely, "In that case, the Queen is really a person of true feelings."
Ji Feiyu gave him a disdainful look and said, "I can't take such praise."
Bai Xiaofeng said, "It wasn't easy for them to fall out this time. I spent a lot of time persuading the Queen to join our camp."
Lin Chujie's eyes turned. Then he laughed loudly. "So, the Queen's appearance here means that she is willing to cooperate with us?"
Yu Chi Yanyan said, "That's right. The Queen and Lord Bai are old acquaintances. Thanks to Lord Bai's earnest persuasion during this chance encounter, Lord Lin can see the Queen here. Besides, the non - war agreement between Beihan and Dayong was also signed by the Queen and me. If the Queen can be on our side, we in Beihan will also have a just cause for our actions."
Lin Chujie nodded with a smile. He sized Ji Feiyu up again. His eyes were full of inquiry, but he just said, "That's great."
Ji Feiyu felt uncomfortable all over under his stare. Then she heard Bai Xiaofeng say, "Lord Lin, now that the Queen is here with us, can you spread the rumor that the Queen has been imprisoned in the palace by the Emperor? Then I can lead a group of old martial arts friends to explore the palace in the name of rescuing the Queen."
Lin Chujie looked at Ji Feiyu and hesitated. He couldn't help but ask Yu Chi Yanyan, "Is it really okay to say this in front of her?"
Yu Chi Yanyan replied with a smile, "It's okay. She is one of us now. If she really dares to play any tricks behind our backs, Lord Bai and I will surely not let her go. If you really don't trust this woman, Lord Lin, you might as well let her go with your son during the palace rebellion and send a few people to secretly monitor them... After all, it's the revenge for cutting off the family line. It's better for your son to take her along to seek revenge in person." The meaning of his words was very clear - even if the Queen didn't want to cooperate with them, it would be a good idea to use her as a bargaining chip to threaten the Emperor!
Hearing the words "cutting off the family line", Lin Chujie's face changed. He said coldly, "This is such a heinous sin. If I had any other choice, I wouldn't have taken this path. This time during the palace rebellion, I will surely make that person pay for his crimes with blood!"
Ji Feiyu was also shocked when she heard this. Lord Yu Chi, when did I become one of you? And when did I say that I would join you and participate in the palace rebellion? Were they deliberately giving her a chance or specifically dragging her into this mess? She started to rack her brains, thinking about how to pass the news to Yong Yaxuan.
