Fu Xian became more desperate to escape her ending that she decided to loosen her mouth after thinking about the events that happened a few days ago.

"It was the fourth prince!" She exclaimed.

At the mention of Yu Fangzhu, Lin Xiaofei froze as she coldly glanced at the maid.

"Speak."

Seeing that Fu Xian was about to relay something interesting, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t stop her and encouraged her.

Hearing that she was willing to hear her out, Fu Xian didn\'t keep her mouth shut as she narrated what she saw a few days ago.

"Young miss probably didn\'t know but a few days ago there was a small banquet intended for the princes and princesses here in the palace." Lin Xiaofei stared at her, not looking shocked or surprised that the children of Emperor Yun would even have the time to throw a banquet.

Fu Xian continued, "Even prince Ziyin was there. However, it was the fourth prince who mentioned your engagement to the two princesses. After that, Princess Gao and Princess Zhou started to join forces and ordered me to sneak in the Lin residence and let the general drink the poison."

After hearing what Fu Xian had to say, Lin Xiaofei\'s brow eased up. The coldness in her eyes were still there but it seemed that she found something and was lost deep in her thoughts.

So, it was like that. She thought.

From the time when her grandfather was poisoned and they captured Fu Xian till the time when she met Qu Xing Xu, Lin Xiaofei had been pondering about how a maid was able to sneak inside the Lin residence.

Of course, it wasn\'t strange at all if Fu Xian was put to serve beside her grandfather because she was a maid employed by the Lin family for years. However, she recalled the maids around that time upon investigating further that they didn\'t recognize the maid and just ignored her since she was wearing that same uniform as them.

This was also the reason why Lin Xiaofei first thought that the assassination pointed at her grandfather was done by the enemies of the Lin family.

But the problem was that Fu Xian got inside the Lin family only a few days ago and shouldn\'t have the qualification to get near Lin Xiaomeng.

Thus, she began to doubt the situation and decided to put on a show.

But she didn\'t expect that Yu Fangzhu had a hand in this event.

Lin Xiaofei could already imagine him pulling his sisters away from their siblings and casually mentioning her engagement to Qu Xing xu to the sisters. The princesses must have not seen through his plans and were blinded by jealousy and hatred that they became pawns by their brother.

Honestly. Lin Xiaofei thought that the person who would talk about her engagement first was Prince Jing but Yu Fangzhu decided to step in and do vile things.

This could be his answer to what she did to Concubine Shang.

This kind of idiot who could do things that can be dangerous to him, only Yu Fangzhu has the right to be blinded by female charms.

After hearing everything Fu Xian wanted to tell her, Lin Xiaofei could no longer stay there. She hated the ground she was stepping on as it belonged to the royal family. If not for the fact that she wanted to watch the show, she wouldn\'t have come there even if someone dragged her there.

Leaving the shack without any commotion, Lin Xiaofei turned to Shen Mo standing behind her and said, "Tell Jimo to make sure that he cleaned up before leaving."

Understanding her meaning, Shen Mo nodded his head and relayed the exact words she told him to Jimo who stayed behind.

What happened to Fu Xian after that day was unknown.

"Young miss, should we go back?" Shen Mo asked as soon as he returned to her side.

They were walking on a path that was surrounded by trees and shrubs that blocked their figures from prying eyes.

Though Shen Mo infiltrated the palace before under Lin Xiaofei\'s order to check on the empress\' activities, he never got to this part of the palace and was left to wonder how Lin Xiaofei was even more knowledgeable of the twists and turns of the palace than him.

However, thinking about how amazing his young miss was ever since he decided to stay beside her, Shen Mo comforted his thoughts while thinking that Lin Xiaofei was indeed a formidable young miss.

Clueless on what was swirling inside Shen Mo\'s head, Lin Xiaofei stopped in front of a wall. The wall was gray and vines were covering most of it. It was obvious that this part of the palace was ignored and didn\'t get to be taken care of by the gardener with just one look.

After calming his heart, Shen Mo assumed that he wouldn\'t be shock at the actions made by Lin Xiaofei anymore.

But he was proven wrong when he saw her pulling a thick vine and pulled on it.

Then, a passage that leads to somewhere suddenly opened up without a sound.

Shen Mo: "..."

After a few seconds, he heard her turn around and ask him, "What\'s wrong? Follow me."

"Th-this… where does this lead us to?" Shen Mo asked after standing rooted on the ground.

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Xiaofei lazily said, "Outside."

When they entered the palace, Lin Xiaofei and the others jumped over the wall. Shen Mo had to carry her especially since she didn\'t have any martial skills to help her climb over the walls.

While doing so, he didn\'t notice the glare that Jimo used to look at him and didn\'t think much of their mission since Lin Xiaofei told them that she\'s in there to watch a play.

But seeing the passage that could lead them \'outside\', Shen Mo felt like complaining to her for not revealing this passage in the first place. In the end, he could only swallow his complaints under her cold eyes.
