The night was dark, and in the streets and alleys of the capital, a black shadow silently shuttled between the pavilions.The dark figure was Li Mengjue. She returned to Bai Rui's room, trying to find out the clues that night.Her purpose was clear and her steps were firm, but she never thought that after leaving Huachao Tower, she would unexpectedly meet Xie Jingshu, who was walking in black at night.
The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense.Xie Jingshu's eyes were as bright as fire, as if he had already understood Li Mengjue's true identity.Not to be outdone, Li Mengjue took the lead in attacking, and the two immediately fell into a fierce fight.
During the battle, Li Mengjue confessed his identity - Bai Wuguo of Suomingmen.However, just as the two were entangled, another assassin appeared with unknown intentions.After a thrilling and fierce battle, the two men managed to escape, but both were seriously injured.
While evading pursuit, they hid in a ruined temple.The temple was silent except for the breathing of the two people.Li Mengjue and Xie Jingshu cross-examined each other, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.At this moment, Li Mengjue suddenly vomited blood, which shocked Xie Jingshu.
He hugged Li Mengjue tightly, his eyes full of concern.When Li Mengjue was weak, the emotions in his heart surged out like a tide.She recalled her first meeting with Xie Jingshu many years ago, when he saved her from danger and became a lingering figure in her heart.She confessed her feelings to Xie Jingshu, telling him that she had never thought about the love between her children after joining the Mingshu Clan, but Xie Jingshu was an exception to her.
Later, Li Mengjue followed the footprints all the way back to Huachaolou, and accidentally ran into Liu Yu'an teasing Bai Rui.She came to the rescue, but she didn't forget to take the opportunity to blackmail% and got the silver from Bai Rui.However, all this was seen by Xie Jingshu who came later.
Li Mengjue returned to the bedroom and was about to check the wound, but was bumped into by Xie Jingshu.She took out her hairpin to defend herself, but Xie Jingshu saw through it.She had to pretend to be weak and lost her hairpin.When Xie Jingshu asked about the injuries on her body, she made up a sad drama and used the excuse that her injuries were caused by a high-ranking official in Gyeonggi Province.Xie Jingshu mistakenly thought it was Liu Mansion in the east of the city, so Li Mengjue followed suit and pretended to be asleep to change the topic.
Xie Jingshu looked at Li Mengjue's back, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in his heart.He remembered that the woman who was almost killed by the gangster was Li Mengjue in front of him.He saved her, but never thought that they would meet again many years later.
Xie Jingshu, who returned to Dali Temple, received a secret letter and learned that the identity of Artemisia on the Snow was hidden in the Haibo map.He asked Jingyan to help keep an eye on the Liu Mansion, while he fell into deep thought.
