Yu Qingwu also noticed the gaze from the rooftop. She curved her lips, not restraining herself, but instead becoming even more wanton, taking Chen Da’s sleeve and stroking his arm all the way up.

A moment later, Chen Er returned.

As soon as he entered, he saw this scene. A lascivious gleam shone in his eyes, and he relaxed his vigilance even more, winking at Yu Qingwu, "Consort Yu, Yu Mo has already returned. Let's go too."

He rubbed his hands together, impatient.

Yu Qingwu withdrew her little hand from Chen Da's arm, turned around, walked to the bedside, and took out a small jar from the brocade pouch at the head of the bed. Then, she took out a pair of silkworm silk gloves and put them on.

Seeing her dawdling, Chen Er became suspicious again. He walked up and wanted to pull her, questioning, "Consort Yu, what are you doing so slowly? Don't tell me you're trying to play tricks?"

"Oh, brother, what are you saying? I'm just… taking some fun things…" Yu Qingwu turned her head, her pair of charming and amorous eyes carrying a hint of seduction, looking at Chen Er with a reproachful expression.

Her moist, rosy lips, still bearing some of the bloody traces of Xie Jin Yan’s kisses, bit down enticingly.

This scene made Chen Da and Chen Er's blood boil instantly.

Chen Da quickly glared at his younger brother, and said unhappily, "You bastard, don't scare Consort Yu…"

"This brother is so considerate." Yu Qingwu raised her eyes to look at him. Before Chen Er could speak, she revealed a troubled expression, hesitating, "Brothers, although I'm about to die, I still want to live. I see that you two have connections to enter the palace, so leaving the palace must be very easy too. I will serve you well, can you two take me away with you when you leave?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Chen Er again, revealing a pleading look amidst her allure.

The suspicion that had just ignited in Chen Er's mind was immediately extinguished by this plea.

Wasn't that right? Who would want to die if they could live?

It was not strange for Yu to submit to them brothers in order to survive…

If such a beautiful woman were brought home to live with them, how happy would their days be?

Chen Er sized up Yu Qingwu with nakedly lecherous eyes, and smiled as he guaranteed, "Good sister, don't worry. As long as you make us brothers happy, the two of us will take you away tonight. From now on, the three of us will live together…"

Take her away tonight? They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to leave the gates of the Great Wei Imperial Palace tonight.

Adulterous thieves deserved to die!

A flash of viciousness passed through her eyes. Yu Qingwu nodded, put on a black cloak, and then urged the two to leave with a smile.

Because Yu Mo had intentionally framed her, there were not many palace servants in the East Palace's courtyard at this time, so it was very smooth to go out.

In the dark night, two men and a woman gradually disappeared on the palace road.

About half an hour later, Yu Qingwu returned to the East Palace.

Her face was pale, beads of sweat on her forehead were like beans, and the hand hidden under her sleeve trembled slightly. As soon as she entered the warm pavilion, she collapsed on the ground.

Then, she grabbed the handkerchief soaked in the copper basin on the ground and rubbed it hard on her palm, rubbing until her hand was red, and still desperately scrubbing.

Just as it was about to break the skin, a large hand suddenly snatched the handkerchief from behind.

The man's low voice came from behind, "Since you find it dirty, why did you still kill people? Causing such a thing on your first day in the palace, are you afraid people won't know that you can tame beasts and insects?"

He was clearly blaming her, but hearing his voice, Yu Qingwu felt much more at ease.

She didn't answer, but stood up from the ground and threw herself into his arms, her face pressed tightly against the man's chest, her slender white arms tightly wrapped around his waist, large tears rolling down, and her pale lips trembling violently with her body.

Xie Jin Yan lowered his eyes, looking deeply at the woman in his arms, raised his hand to fiddle with her hair, his expression softened a little, sighed, and gently called her again, "A Wu, it's okay, they are already dead, they deserve to die, they deserve to die like Yang Cheng…"

Deserved to die like Yang Cheng, what did he mean?

Yu Qingwu's body suddenly stiffened, and she slowly raised her head.

Xie Jin Yan gently kissed her forehead, then hugged her into his arms again, and said softly, "I know everything, it's okay, they all deserve to die, all of them deserve to die. Even if you hadn't done it today, Senior Sister, I wouldn't have let them go."

"I'm glad that Senior Sister can protect herself."

Patting the woman's back, Xie Jin Yan picked her up horizontally again, walked all the way to the bedside, and put her on the bed.

But as soon as he let go, the senior sister who had always resisted him in the past hugged him even tighter.

Those soft little hands locked his waist tightly, and her tear-filled face pressed tightly into his arms.

"Jin Yan, don't push me away, I'm scared." Yu Qingwu choked, finally unable to hold back and cried out.

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, soaking the black robe.

Xie Jin Yan didn't answer, but simply wrapped her in his arms again, stroking her back with his slightly cool large hands, over and over again.

It wasn't until Yu Qingwu slowly calmed down that he slowly let go, then touched her face, looked at her gently and earnestly, and said, "A Wu, taking a life is no small matter, especially since you just entered the palace and such a thing happened. You remember, tomorrow, no matter what others ask, you know nothing. You have not stepped out of the East Palace."

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped away the tears from her face.

His rough fingertips stroked her skin, revealing endless tenderness and care.

Yu Qingwu raised her hand and grasped Xie Jin Yan's hand. The panic in her eyes had slowly receded. She calmed her mind, nodded slowly, and said, "I know, since I have acted, I naturally cannot admit it. That Yu Mo brought in the thieves herself, so she probably wouldn't dare to say anything…"

"It's just, there is one thing I don't understand. I have no grievances with Yu Mo, why would she want to deal with me?"

"Even… even if she, like Shen Rou and A Yue, is interested in you, but now, in the eyes of others, I am already a person who is bound to die, and I don't block anyone's path at all. Why would she be in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

"I also find this matter strange." Xie Jin Yan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced out and said in a deep voice, "Although Xiao Yu Mo relies on the fact that she is a noble woman brought over from Nan Yue Kingdom by the Empress Dowager, and is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, and is usually quite arrogant and willful, she has never been disdainful of doing such a thing before. Even if she really has intentions for me, it would only be verbally humiliating other palace servants who want to get close to me."

"It is indeed a bit strange to make such a move today. Moreover, you suddenly entered the palace today. Even if she had a sudden intention to kill, it would be impossible for her to find two thieves from outside the palace so quickly. The two of them are very well prepared, as if they were prepared in advance."

"Could it be… that someone is instigating behind the scenes?" Yu Qingwu moved her body, leaned her head gently on Xie Jin Yan's shoulder, and grabbed his hand again. She raised her eyes to look at Xie Jin Yan, and suddenly seemed to think of something, stammering, "Is it… your mother can't tolerate me?"
