"You go ahead and be busy, don’t come looking for me during this period! It might cause unnecessary trouble if seen by others."

"Hehe, Miss Lin is right. Coming to you this time was a huge risk..."

He said as he stretched his neck and looked around. Finding no one nearby, he finally felt relieved.

Unbeknownst to them, in a dark corner where they couldn’t see, Qi Jingyu and Gao Mingyue quietly observed.

Qi Jingyu could feel the young girl beside him trembling slightly, her breathing becoming rapid and her chest rising and falling—this was anger!

Sure enough, her mother was right, it was the Lin Family member who did it, this Miss Lin, Lin Ruochu!

"Despicable!"

She whispered angrily.

In the past, Lin Ruochu seemed like a person, well-behaved and decent, who knew the things she did were so dirty!

Qi Jingyu’s eyes flickered slightly. Actually, in the harem, how many such things occurred?

How fierce were the palace concubine battles?

In there, it’s truly like the shadows of swords and guns without any smoke!

The little matter she encountered really doesn’t count as anything.

The girl’s hands were trembling violently, and Qi Jingyu instinctively squeezed hers: "Don’t worry, there is a way!"

It’s said that men and women should keep distance; they were too close, which was already inappropriate. Holding her little hand like this, Gao Mingyue’s face blushed instantly.

"You..."

Her beautiful eyes widened, almost unable to believe he would touch her little hand?

"You, let go..."

However, before she could say what she wanted, her mouth was covered by the other person.

"Shh—be careful not to be heard." He paused and said, "Your hand is trembling."

Gao Mingyue was stunned for a moment. Is this why he held her hand tightly?

Was he trying to comfort her?

"Earlier, when I brought you over... I’m sorry!"

Qi Jingyu muttered, just now he grabbed her little hand, this... Are you going to kill me?

Gao Mingyue looked at the boy’s shy and uneasy expression and suddenly felt amused, laughing out loud.

The sound wasn’t small, luckily that side Lin Ruochu had entered the private room, and the Prison Chief had left, so they weren’t discovered.

"I’m sorry..."

"It’s okay!"

Seeing the boy unexpectedly apologize to her, Gao Mingyue suddenly felt she might have been too harsh?

She smiled slightly, trying to make herself appear friendly and kind.

However, this smile was like the moon in the sky, emitting a radiant light, making Qi Jingyu stare dumbfounded.

He gazed at her intently, murmuring, "You really resemble my aunt..."

"Hm? Your aunt?"

"Yes, her name also includes the word ’moon’; you really..."

Really resemble?

No, they don’t resemble each other; they are people from two different worlds, only making one feel very close.

"Your aunt’s name also includes the word ’moon’?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, suddenly looking forward to meeting your aunt..."

As Gao Mingyue said this, she suddenly paused, then looked surprised; how could she say such a thing?

To meet someone’s relative, one must have a very close relationship, which is clearly inappropriate.

Just as she felt she had misspoken and was about to apologize, the boy next to her suddenly said, "If you want, I can take you to see her!"

Uh...

The atmosphere became awkward in an instant; not only Gao Mingyue but Qi Jingyu also felt his cheeks flush.

Accidentally saying what was on his mind, now what?

Ugh!

Qi Jingyu felt quite vexed.

The surroundings were silent for a while, then suddenly Gao Mingyue looked up and said with a smile, "Maybe we can meet someday!"

Someday?

Instantly, Qi Jingyu showed a look of joy, was this not a refusal?

In these days, between men and women, emotions are often ambiguous and obscure. Many times, you don’t even know if her words contain hints of admiration and love towards you.

But Qi Jingyu was different; his childhood environment was a bit unusual. When he was young, Empress Dowager Li was still disfigured, had a very bad temper, and often resorted to various beatings for the servants. Qi Jingyu saw this a lot growing up, and his mind was somewhat damaged.

For example, he compares things to Ming Na.

And moreover, he’s quite proud.

Because he feels that by being a bit arrogant, he will win the care and affection of his parents and make Empress Dowager Li notice him more.

But similarly, he must be arrogant when her mood is good; otherwise, he would be beaten.

Receiving the girl’s answer, Qi Jingyu felt great and said, "Since it’s the Lin Family doing it, do you have any ideas?"

"Me?" Gao Mingyue thought for a while and shook her head gently, "My mind feels a bit chaotic right now, can’t think of anything right away."

She said this in a very low voice because her chaotic mind wasn’t due to this matter but because of the boy in front of her.

She found her heart was beating quickly, feeling a bit nervous.

Seeing the girl looking completely clueless, Qi Jingyu suddenly felt his confidence collapse, and he said, "Miss Gao, did you hear before, that Miss Lin and the Prison Chief planned to kill that person?"

"Oh? Yes..."

Gao Mingyue softly confirmed and then suddenly realized something, exclaiming, "You mean, we go rescue that person?"

"Exactly!" Qi Jingyu showed a playful smile, "We can, at the moment the other person is about to die, let him experience the approach of death, then suddenly appear to save his life!"

His hand gently tapped the railing beside him, "Only when someone is near death, can they perceive whether those around them are human or ghost, and know who is trying to kill them!"

Gao Mingyue imagined if that little thug was near death, would the Prison Chief make any special moves?

At that time his true face would be revealed, then they could assist, and that little thug would certainly be grateful, then...

As long as he identifies the Lin Family member, then Prefect Nai Ban won’t have any problem.

"Good, this idea is good, thank you!"

Gao Mingyue was genuinely grateful because on this journey, Qi Jingyu had already helped her a lot.

Qi Jingyu smiled lightly, "It’s nothing, just a small effort!"

Helping the girl he liked, he was very willing.

"By the way, this matter, let’s proceed ourselves, don’t tell the people at your household!"

"Why?"

Gao Mingyue looked puzzled; this kind of plan should be told to parents and sisters, so their plan can proceed better!

"I’m worried there may be spies from the other side in your household!" Qi Jingyu looked very serious, "Better to believe there is than believe there isn’t, always best to be cautious!

I’m afraid if there really are spies from them, and the other side stops the murder, then we will fall into a passive position. At present, the other side wanting the little thug dead is the best opportunity!"

Opportunities once missed never return; just this one chance to completely bring down the Lin Family, Gao Mingyue didn’t want to waste.

So she nodded, "Okay!"
