Lin Yunmeng happened to step out of the mansion, and the third lady immediately ordered the coachman to go faster. The carriage that was supposed to be for the two of them was taken by the third lady alone, leaving Lin Yunmeng, the direct daughter of the prime minister's mansion, behind.

In place.

"Ah?! Why is Third Miss like this?!" Mi'er's eyes widened and she shouted angrily.

Knowing that today's banquet was important, the third lady deliberately rode away from the last carriage. How should her young lady get there?

If we go to get a carriage at this time, it will definitely take a lot of time. If we are late, the queen will definitely be dissatisfied with Lin Yunmeng.

In just a few moments, Lin Yunmeng already understood the reason for the third lady's behavior. Wasn't it just to destroy her favor in front of the queen?

It just so happened that she didn't want to fall into the Queen's eyes.

In her previous life, she was also maliciously abandoned like this. At that time, she almost burst into tears. In the end, Xiao Yubei took her into the palace on a black horse like a god descending from heaven.

Now that I think about it carefully, there are really flaws everywhere!

Why did Xiao Yubei know that he had no carriage to ride in? And he didn't know that a man was driving a woman in person. Could such an intimate gesture be easily misunderstood by the world, thereby damaging her reputation?

Now it seems... Xiao Yubei has been eyeing her for a long time, and everything is just his plan!

Lin Yunmeng's expression was gloomy, and her eyes seemed to be scanning the surroundings inadvertently. Now that she had lost all her internal strength, her senses were not as sharp as in her previous life, so Lin Yunmeng could not tell whether there were Xiao Yubei's spies around.

At this moment, Lin Yunmeng saw a few horses at the door, her eyes moved slightly, and she strode forward: "Mi'er, you don't have to follow me, I can just go into the palace by myself."

"But Miss, how can you go..." Before Mi'er could finish her words, she was stunned by Lin Yunmeng's operation in front of her.

I saw a woman in white skillfully getting on the horse. The horse, which was originally agitated when meeting a stranger, was reined in by her and suddenly became quiet.

She was sitting on the horse, her black hair flying in the breeze, her unrouged face cold and proud, her white clothes fluttering, like a fairy in the sky.

Xiao Yubei, who had just arrived, saw the scene in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but trance for a moment.

The two looked at each other in silence.

"Mr. Xiao, what is this?" Lin Yunmeng glanced at him with a half-smile, and quietly hid the anger in her heart.

Xiao Yubei was awakened by the sound, which was like the sound of snow and water in thousands of mountains. His eyes suddenly became dark and obscure, and then he answered coldly: "I happened to be passing by. Miss Lin can still ride a horse?"

According to the reports from her subordinates, she is clearly just a weak woman waiting to be married to a maid, unable to get out of the house.

Not to mention the sudden contact with business recently, there is also the strange scene today.

He obviously came to give warmth in time, making Lin Yunmeng grateful and remember him, but in the end, he gave away loneliness.

"I learned it quietly. Don't you have to go to the palace for a banquet, Mr. Xiao? I remember that Marquis Wu Zhong and the prince have a good relationship."

"Of course I want to go."

"But you just said you were passing by, and now you say you want to go to the palace. Are you sure you can reach the palace from here?"

Lin Yunmeng's dark eyes were like a mirror, reflecting him clearly in them, as if even the things in his heart could be clearly seen.

Xiao Yubei's expression froze slightly, and he responded quickly: "I just happened to see the Prime Minister's carriage leaving. I thought I hadn't seen Miss Lin for a long time, so I came over to take a look."

"Ha." Lin Yunmeng laughed with unknown meaning. She didn't know if she believed Xiao Yubei's deliberate words of concern.

"That's just right. How about we go together?" Xiao Yubei seemed to have not heard her smile, but instead made a request.

"Okay." Lin Yunmeng knew that she couldn't refuse frequently, otherwise how could she torture him if he changed his goals?

A scarlet color flashed across her eyes, and Xiao Yubei frowned slightly. He just felt an inexplicable creeping sensation on the back of his neck.

On the busy street, two horses, one black and one white, walked side by side, and the two owners sitting on the horses were both good-looking and seemed to match each other.

Taking into account the crowded streets, Lin Yunmeng did not rush forward but galloped her horse forward. As she walked, a silver light suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes. Lin Yunmeng's expression suddenly changed. Xiao Yubei, who had been observing her, suddenly darkened his eyes.

Xiao Yubei had been secretly observing Lin Yunmeng. Why wasn't Lin Yunmeng paying attention to him too?

Seeing that he looked wrong now, Lin Yunmeng immediately knew that she was almost exposed because she caught a glimpse of the light of the sword!

Before she could say anything, ordinary people in ordinary clothes suddenly rose up and stabbed Lin Yunmeng on the horse.

Lin Yunmeng's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape easily, but then she remembered that Xiao Yubei was right next to her, so she had to grit her teeth and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The other party was unwilling to give up, and struck Lin Yunmeng with another sword. It was just a feint move, and it didn't look like it was taking her life. Instead, it was trying to test something... Lin Yunmeng shuddered, and she was about to use it.

The move was abruptly withdrawn.

Seeing that the sword was about to pierce Lin Yunmeng's arm...

suddenly!

"Ding--!"

"bump!"

A strong wind quickly passed by the side, and a stone directly opened the cold sword, and even knocked the sword directly from the assassin's hand!

Lin Yunmeng walked away after hearing the sound, and Dahai retracted her finger with a look of reluctance on her face.

Seeing this, the assassin immediately wanted to run away, but was kicked to the ground by Xiao Yubei. His elegant posture and smooth movements, combined with his extraordinary handsome face, seemed to be extremely handsome... provided that someone pays attention.

However, the people around him had already dispersed, and Lin Yunmeng frowned and looked at Xu Qingke.

"..." Xiao Yubei pursed his lips and coughed unwillingly, trying to attract Lin Yunmeng's attention, but obviously the result was not satisfactory.

Lin Yunmeng looked at Xu Qingke intently and had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, what he said was very familiar.

"My lord saved you, Miss Lin, how do you think of repaying me?"

I'll repay your grandma with a leg!

Lin Yunmeng yelled angrily in her heart. Looking at Xu Qingke's eyes that had started to shine, she remembered that the last time this man asked her to give her two pieces of gold, he also had a "wolf-like and tiger-like" expression!!

She stiffened her face: "How does Prince Qing want me to repay you?"

The other party smiled slightly, appearing gentle on the surface, but in reality he was sinister and greedy for money!

"Then according to the old rules, last time the girl's innocence was worth two taels of gold, but now the girl's life...a thousand taels, that's not too much, right?"

"Who is innocent? It was your life last time, but my life is worthless." Lin Yunmeng gritted her teeth and said, unable to help but glare at Xiao Yubei.

This girl is really trying to defeat herself, right? It was all because of him both times!!

"How can a girl be so contemptuous of herself? In this case, how much does the girl think her life is worth?" Xu Qingke asked unhurriedly, and his slow tone and movements made it impossible to associate him with greed for money.
