In the middle of the morning, the sun had yet to reach its zenith, but the sky was already extremely hot. Yi Xiaoqiao was covered in sweat, and had long since soaked his underclothes.

"Lady, my lady!" Peach gave a stern shout and pressed down on Yi Xiaoqiao's hands. "Don't pummel, don't pummel. Are you crazy? If someone saw you, you'd have to get married!"

Yi Xiaoqiao stroked her chest. The layers upon layers of clothing were wrapped so tightly that she almost suffered from heatstroke. In the past, when other people wore such clothes, they would think they were celestial, beautiful, and incredibly beautiful. Only when she wore them would she know what kind of pain they were enduring.

She used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face. Before she could finish wiping her face, the handkerchief was already wet. "Tell me, why isn't she coming out yet? Even if she has some work to do, it should be done by now!"

"Maybe it's more difficult? Could it be that something important has happened and I'm unable to handle it for the time being? " Peaches whispered.

Yi Xiaoqiao frowned as he thought about it. A look of understanding appeared on his face. "Could it be that it will last too long?"

Peach:?

Forgive her, a girl who is not yet out of the house, for not understanding the meaning behind Yi Xiaoqiao's words.

"We need to go back. We've been out for so long. If we don't go back now, the general will find out." Peach was committed to his duty, afraid that Mu Yi'an would notice them sneaking away. When the time came, he would be out of control. One must know that Mu Yi'an's anger was still powerful enough to intimidate them.

Yi Xiaoqiao had been waiting for Princess Yunjiao to come out for a long time. Seeing that the sun was rising higher, she could do nothing about it. She thought for a moment and said, "You watch them. I'll go back first."

"Can you do it yourself? "Those people at the door …"

"Relax, I'll be careful. They didn't know I was coming out."

On the way back, Yi Xiaoqiao's mind was in a mess as she kept thinking back to the scenes in the book. However, no matter how she thought about it, she could not remember the plot.

Speaking of which, this Princess Yun Jiao was just a supporting role. She was the second female lead. Before she entered the palace, she had described it in detail. This was something that Yi Xiaoqiao did not know much about.

What to do! How could he prove that what she said was true? She wasn't lying.

Why did that stupid Mu Yi An believe Princess Yun Jiao so much just because they were childhood friends? Heh, Mu Yi An, you idiot. You must have a paste in your head. Even a childhood sweetheart would be able to tell that Princess Yun Jiao's heart was no longer with you!

It seemed that she still had to place her hopes on Peach. After all, she was one of Mu Yi'an's people, so he probably believed in her. He only hoped that Peach could find some clues and at least restore her innocence.

After making many detours and avoiding the people from King Yu's Estate, Yi Xiaoqiao carefully made his way home.

"Where did he go?"

Just as he entered the house, he was caught red-handed. Yi Xiaoqiao tilted his head to look and saw that it was Muyi.

In the daytime, he was actually drinking wine under a grape arbor. With a jug in his hand, he leaned against the bamboo bed. His overlapping collar opened up an attractive curve, exposing his small, honey-colored skin.

He looked at her with a faint smile in his phoenix eyes.

Yi Xiaoqiao's scalp tingled. His back was chilled from his gaze. He suddenly had the illusion that he had been caught red-handed.

"What are you looking at? Can't I go out for a walk?" she asked proudly, raising her head.

Mu Yi An's gaze was like lightning. His gaze moved down from her small face until it landed on her feet. Only then did he smile seductively: "Your ankle is healed?"

The moment he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol wafted over. Coupled with his charming smile, he looked like he was drunk and had not woken up yet.

"None of your business." Yi Xiaoqiao frowned and turned to leave.

"Go where!" Like the wind, Mu Yi An walked to her side and grabbed her wrist: "You seem to have forgotten my orders. Let me tell you, if you get captured here, I won't be able to save you either."

Yi Xiaoqiao was pressed against the wall and could not move. "Let go of me."

"Yi Xiaoqiao, don't court death yourself."

Yi Xiaoqiao took out the envelope. "Look at what this is."

Mu Yi An's pupils constricted and he immediately sobered up from the alcohol. He stared at the letter with wide eyes. The words on the envelope were small and exquisite and extremely neat. He recognized that it was Yun Jiao's character.

Mu Yi An reached out to take it.

Yi Xiao Qiao hid behind her: "What are you so anxious about! We haven't even discussed the terms. "

Mu Yi'an had no patience. He grabbed at her hand and was about to snatch it away.

"Help! Help! General Mu is molesting us …"

"Shut up!" Mu Yi'an covered her mouth, "You're courting death!"

"Woo woo!" Yi Xiaoqiao bit his hand ferociously and grabbed the letter, "If you keep bullying me, I'll tear it apart!"

Although this letter had already been torn to pieces, it did not prevent her from tearing it a second time.

Mu Yi An frowned and suddenly pursed his lips into a smile: "You used your letter to threaten me?" I'm afraid this letter is not fake. "

"Of course not." Yi Xiaoqiao tapped the cover of the letter. "A genuine letter from Yun Jiao. If you don't believe me, I can let you take a look at the beginning."

As she spoke, she pulled out a bit to show to Muyi.

Although it was only a name, it was enough to cause Muyi to narrow his eyes and turn cold.

"The letter is already this broken?" He raised his eyebrows and sneered.

Yi Xiaoqiao coughed dryly and felt a little awkward. "I was afraid that you would be hurt after seeing it, so I tore it up."

Mu Yi An raised his eyebrows and slowly sat on the soft bed under the grape arbor: "It looks like you're not afraid of my sadness after seeing it."

"Who told you not to believe me, I'm just trying to prove my innocence." Yi Xiaoqiao cast a sidelong glance at him. "Say it, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it."

There was a confident smile on her lips. She didn't believe it. How could Mu Yi'an not be curious after seeing the letter turn out like this?

Indeed, Muyi nodded: "Speak, what conditions?"

On the way back, Yi Xiaoqiao had already made up her mind. She raised her head and said, "First, return my indenture contract and let me go!"

Mu Yi An snorted: "What, finally admitting that you're Little Qiao?"

She had no choice but to admit it. The handprints were all hers, and if she didn't get the indenture contract, then it was as if someone was holding her hostage. How could she still be free? Even if she obtained the jade token and left the general's estate, she might not be able to escape Yun Jiao's pursuit.

"Cut the crap, do you agree or not!" Yi Xiao Qiao raised her head and asked impatiently.

"Sure."

"Second, to redeem himself."

Mu Yi'an frowned. He had never even heard of this name before. "Altar?"

"A maid from King Yu's Estate."

Mu Yi An sneered and sized her up: "What kind of place do you take King Yu's Estate to be? That you can redeem your body just because you said you can redeem it? "

"Just tell me if you want to help or not." Yi Xiaoqiao made as if to tear him apart, "You don't need to watch. Anyway, since you've believed Yun Jiao's words, you'll be kept in the dark for the rest of your life."

"Can you come up with something new? That's all you know."

Yi Xiaoqiao took the letter to the mouth of the well. "Why don't you throw it in the well?"

"You …" The corner of Mu Yi'an's mouth twitched. Seeing that the paper fluttered in the wind as if it would fall down at any time, falling into the pitch black well, he was finally exhausted. He took a big step forward and was about to grab her.

"Don't come near me, I'll jump down if you do."

Mu Yi An was stunned. He sized her up for a while, then snorted. "It seems that I'll have to break your legs next time."

Yi Xiaoqiao's expression changed, "It's just a redemption. It shouldn't be that difficult. To you, it's just a drop in the bucket."

"Third?" Mu Yi An sat back down and coldly observed her.

"I want the jade plates!" Yi Xiaoqiao's spirit was suddenly lifted, and she became even more solemn.

Mu Yi'an sized her up, from head to toe, and then from foot to head. "You really have a big mouth."

"Can't do it, I lost it."

Although it was a serious matter, Mu Yi'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry under her threats. He nodded and said, "Alright, give it to me."

Aiya? Yi Xiaoqiao did not even react. Did she just hallucinate? He actually agreed to it?

"You really agreed?"

Mu Yi'an nodded: "Bring it over."

Yi Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief, "You promised long ago that I would send it over to you."

Yi Xiaoqiao happily sent it over, "Give me your jade token first …"

He grabbed her open hand, and before Yi Xiaoqiao could react, he had already flipped over and was pressed down on the bamboo bed.

"What are you doing!"

"Yi Xiaoqiao, only those with the ability to do so have the qualifications to make such conditions." Mu Yi An grabbed the envelope and suppressed her, "A person like you who has no power or knowledge doesn't have the right to set conditions with me."

"You … You went back on your word! " Yi Xiaoqiao struggled with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free: "Let go of me, Muyi!"

Only her large, intelligent eyes sized up Muyi. In her perception, it was as if there was something silently swaying apart, and the top of her head felt like it was wrapped in a layer of black cloud. Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder and lightning seemed like they were going to strike her.

At this moment, Mu Yi An no longer had his usual calmness and calmness. It was as if the alcohol surrounding his body had turned into cold air in an instant, as if a cold wind was about to freeze a person. Yi Xiaoqiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and fell powerlessly onto the bamboo bed, panting heavily as she stared at him.

The air seemed frozen, and they were silent for a moment.

After a while, Yi Xiaoqiao asked, "Muyi, are you alright?"

Mu Yi'an's entire body was as stiff as stone. In his hand, he held the opened letter and the messy little piece of paper stuck to the letter flew in the wind as if it would fly away at any time. His face seemed to be covered in ice and it was so cold that it could freeze people to death.

"Muyi?"

Glimmers danced in his eyes as his ice-cold eyes slowly landed on her face. The icy-cold aura instantly disappeared and his lips formed an evil smile. "Yi Xiaoqiao, you're really scheming. You actually thought of such a method."

Yi Xiaoqiao frowned. "You don't believe me?"

"To tear something like this, it must be a forgery!" Mu Yi An grabbed her chin and said, "To be honest, why did you do this? What grudge do you have with Yun Jiao?!"
