Jiang Liechen was disgusted and thought to himself, "I'll give you time to think about it. Finally, you can tell me that it's still inconvenient for you. What's the use of that? " His actions were synchronized with his thoughts. He immediately raised one hand to wrap around Luo Jin's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace. His other hand gently caressed her smooth and round shoulders, gradually moving around her arms to her chest. His fingertips brushed against the base of her neck and collarbone, moving from her delicate chin to her delicate lips, caressing all the way. At the same time, he whispered in her ear, "Luo Jin meimei, I know you're the smartest and most capable girl in the palace. You're also my most important helper. You won't disappoint me, right?" As he spoke, he gently kissed her face.
Luo Jin immediately felt a wave of numbness pass through her entire body. She softly fell into his embrace and said, "Alright, I promise you. I will definitely promise you." This was almost a subconscious answer. She didn't think about how many difficulties and dangers she would face in the future if she agreed. Jiang Liechen smiled faintly and said, "You're very good. You listen to me the most …" His eyes once again flashed with malice.
After the two of them were intimate for a while, Luo Jin carefully walked out of the room. She looked around to make sure there was no one in the hall. Only then did she quietly sneak into Shen Shiyun's bedroom. She took a few deep breaths and took out two keys to open a secret cabinet. She pulled out a chest and carefully rummaged through the disorderly rows of documents. After a short while, she picked out a few blueprints and held them in her hand. She exhaled and suddenly heard a "dong, dong" knocking on the door behind her. Just now, for the sake of convenience, she didn't close the door. It was obvious that the other party was deliberately hinting.
Luo Jin thought it was a eunuch who came to pass on a message and didn't take it to heart. She carelessly pushed the secret cabinet and unhappily turned around. The first thing she saw was Hu Wei's body half leaning against the door. His arm was resting on the railing and several fingers were hanging in the air, still bent in a knocking posture. His expression was strange and she couldn't tell if he was happy or angry.
Luo Jin was shocked and said, "How did you come in? Get out! " She didn't know why, but she felt so guilty in front of him. She hurriedly put her left hand behind her back, but forgot that she had already closed the secret cabinet. Her wrist knocked heavily on the bed board, and because she moved too quickly, a bruise appeared on her wrist. Unfortunately, in order to see Jiang Liechen, she deliberately wore very thin clothes, only a low-collared sleeveless jacket. For a moment, she couldn't find a place to hide the map. Her hands waved randomly, not knowing where to put it.
Hu Wei sneered and said, "Don't hide anymore. I saw everything." Then he crossed his arms in front of his chest and slowly walked over. Luo Jin was flustered and annoyed, but she pretended to be righteous. She put her hands on her hips and raised her head high. "So what? I was worried about the situation at the border and secretly looked at the map. I wanted to help Your Highness analyze the situation together and plan the next step of the strategy. Was this wrong? Which law did he break? "
Hu Wei spoke very slowly, "I'm not talking about this … I'm talking about how you know the Young Master of the Demonic Cult?" Although Luo Jin was being interrogated by him, when she heard this, her heart was overflowing with sweetness. She lowered her head and smiled. "It's nothing. He … he wanted to see information about the Tear of Severing Soul and wanted my help. That's how we met."
Hu Wei's expression at this moment formed a strong contrast with hers. His face was full of pain. "Don't think that this is a good thing. I'll tell you the truth, Jiang Liechen can't really like you …" Luo Jin angrily said, "Why can't it be? Am I that bad? "
Hu Wei raised his right hand, wanting to caress her cheek, but when he was halfway there, he forcefully stopped himself. "You're not bad at all. It's all his problem. A person like Jiang Liechen will only like himself in this world. At most, with Chu Menglin, there's no place for you! But how can this scoundrel treat you like this! Of course, you're also wrong … "
Luo Jin stomped her foot and said, "Hey, shut up! I won't let you insult him! Look at someone like Young Master Chen, it's nice to look at. Unlike you, hmph, I feel nauseous every time I see you. I really want to chase you out of my sight and never appear again! "Hu Wei wasn't angry." Do you really hate me that much? "" Yes, "Luo Jin said," as if … "
Hu Wei waved his hand. "No need to describe it in detail. It's fine as long as you understand that feeling in your heart. Let me give you an example. The more you hate me, the more Jiang Jiaochen hates you. In fact, he hates you even more. He pretends to treat you well, but it's all a sham. His goal is to use you to obtain information. "
"Nonsense," Luo Jin said angrily. "What right do you have to say that he hates me? Even if he really is pretending, I'm still happy. After all, if he's willing to spend time to put on a show for me, it means that he has me in his heart. If I have the right to be used by him, then it's my honor. It has nothing to do with you. "
Hu Wei saw that she was so obstinate that he almost fainted from anger. "Don't be silly. I've known Jiang Liechen longer than you, but I've never seen him speak with that kind of tone. He treats you like a doll, but you're still infatuated. It's fine if you don't believe me, but have you forgotten what Her Highness described before? Jiang Liechen destroyed Shadowless Villa alone without even blinking an eye. How could this cold-blooded demon who eats people without spitting out their bones be moved by you? It's impossible if you think about it … "
Luo Jin cut him off and said with conviction, "So what if I haven't seen him before? Why should he be polite to you? He destroyed a villa with one hand because his martial arts were amazing. If you have the ability, go try destroying one too! Don't mention Agarwood Courtyard and the Chen Estate. You've brought so many people with you, and there are always fish that slip through the net. You even have to put on airs in front of Her Highness. Don't you feel ashamed? "Hu Wei said angrily," How can you blame me? It's not like you don't know that my leg was broken … "
Luo Jin laughed coldly. "You still have the nerve to mention it? What kind of expert would casually break someone's leg? Besides, that Chu Menglin was just a burden when he was with Young Master Chen. She alone was enough to make you half dead. How can you compare to Young Master Chen? Saying that the difference between heaven and earth is already praising you! The old man from Shadowless Villa was courting death. If Young Master Chen wanted something, he should've given it to him without a second word. Since there's no treasure, why spread false information? They even dared to form a formation to resist. They deserve to die! "
Hu Wei's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He held her shoulders and shook her vigorously. "Don't be ungrateful! I'm doing this for your sake. I can't watch you jump into the fire pit! You've sent out enough information, so stop now! Let's try to cover up what happened in the past. The key is not to be muddle-headed again. You've done so much under Her Highness' eyes. How can she not be suspicious? Don't think of things so simply. If you insist on doing things your own way and don't listen to my advice, I'll … "
Luo Jin pushed him away and said coldly, "There's no need! If you want to be a shameful informant, then go ahead. No one's stopping you! You know Her Highness' way of doing things. I've betrayed her so thoroughly. She definitely won't tolerate me just because of old feelings. In any case, you can't tolerate me in your eyes. You want me to die so that you can take all the credit for yourself in the future. "Hu Wei said," I dote on you. I love … cough, I don't even have enough time. Why would I want you to die? Don't wrongly accuse a good person! "Luo Jin laughed coldly." Alright, if you don't want to get me killed, then you'd best not talk too much. "
Hu Wei felt as if his entire body had been dissected. His heart instantly turned to ash. "Alright, I won't say anything. I won't say a single word. I'll play dumb with you. Let's see how long you can keep this up! If you want to be a spy, I'll help you! " He took out a letter with a red envelope from his sleeve and waved it in front of Luo Jin's eyes. "Look carefully. This is the invitation that Her Highness wants me to give to Jiang Liechen. She's inviting him to her birthday banquet. Since you know him, then I'll leave it to you. Forgive me for not keeping you company! But you should understand the purpose of this. Do as you see fit. "Finished speaking, he threw the paper on the ground and turned to leave. Luo Jin bent down to pick up the invitation. She stared at it for a long time, seemingly deep in thought.

Ever since the Hierarch of Jinying first arrived in the capital, he had always lived in an inn on the east side of the city because the city was bustling and the imperial palace was located. Usually, he would only send his subordinates out to investigate and deal with the war. Sometimes, the three of them would gather in the room to discuss plans.
The Hierarch held a small wooden stick and drew circles on the map. It just so happened that Jiang Liechen and An Yesun had different opinions about a certain detail. They each held their own views and refused to give in to the other, so the Hierarch found it difficult to make a decision. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door. The Hierarch frowned. He had already passed down the order that the guests in the room preferred quiet. Without instructions, they were not to be disturbed. The owner was also happy to save him the trouble. They had lived in peace for many days, so why would they suddenly not know the rules today?
Jiang Liechen said, "I'll take care of it." He got up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was the waiter. The waiter whispered a few words. Jiang Liechen didn't reply, but followed him out of the room and turned a corner to avoid the view of the people in the room.
An Yesun suddenly became suspicious and said, "Hierarch, this subordinate will also go …" The Hierarch just happened to open his mouth and say, "You also go take a look!" The two of them spoke in unison. The Hierarch stared blankly at first, then smiled and nodded his head.
An Yesun followed closely out of the room and saw Jiang Liechen and the waiter standing in the corridor. He didn't know what they were talking about, so he simply walked to their side openly. He heard the waiter say, "It's not that this lowly one doesn't know the rules, but the official who came just now used threats and promises. He didn't hesitate to use any means necessary. Our humble shop has small profits and can't afford to offend these officials. Don't you think so? He said it was a young lady and wanted me to give this letter to Young Master Chen. There was nothing else to say … "Jiang Liechen said," Alright, I'll let it go this time. There won't be a next time. "The waiter acted as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement. He lowered his head and quickly retreated.
An Yesun laughed coldly and said, "Aiyo, 'Young Master Chen', Her Highness Consort Yun is truly ingenious!" When Jiang Liechen heard this unique form of address, he knew that the person who had sent the letter was definitely Luo Jin. He silently smiled wryly when he thought of the absurd matter with this little girl. An Yesun asked again, "What's written in the letter?" Jiang Liechen handed the invitation to him and said, "Take a look for yourself." An Yesun quickly opened the envelope and hurriedly skimmed through it. He handed it back and said, "What does this mean?" Jiang Liechen said, "You still don't understand? There's no good meeting. This is a Hongmen Banquet. "An Yesun said," Yes … what are you going to do? "
Before Jiang Liechen could answer, he heard a dignified voice ask from behind him, "What's going on?" The Hierarch also walked out of the room. An Yesun immediately turned around and saluted. Jiang Liechen maintained his back to him and only glanced back out of the corner of his eye. He casually stuffed the invitation into his sleeve and said, "Oh, it's nothing." He quickly added, "This subordinate has some private matters to attend to. I'll be leaving for a while." Without waiting for the Hierarch's permission, he turned around and left. Although the Hierarch had been ignored many times by him, he was still angry. He complained to An Yesun, "Tell me, what kind of attitude is that?!"
An Yesun frowned as he watched him leave. He gave the Hierarch a meaningful glance and tilted his head toward the room. Then he helped the Hierarch back to the room and helped him sit down on the bed. He turned around and closed the door, tightly shut the windows, and looked around as if he wanted to see if anyone was lying on the roof beam and eavesdropping. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he carefully walked back. The Hierarch was confused and said, "What the hell are you doing?"
