As the sky gradually turned brighter, the movement downstairs in Yihongyuan also became smaller, but the sound of rain outside remained the same.

"Sir, the carriage outside is ready."

Xuan Yue bowed and saluted, and when the sky was bright and the guests in Yihong Courtyard had lost their energy, Xuan Yue drove the carriage over.

"Where do you live now?"

Xiao Jinyan held the little paw to warm his hand. The child's hand was still warm at first, but now it was almost cold by him.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes flashed with distress, and he wanted to let go of the girl's paw, but then he thought about it and tightened his grip on her hand again.

"Rouge and I live in an inn, which is quite convenient."

Yanzhi has already brought some food in from outside. These things have just been made in the kitchen. The steaming porridge looks particularly tempting on this rainy night.

"Why don't you come and live with me at my place?"

Xiao Jinyan's sincere invitation, Xiao Ran held the telescope in both hands, obviously the freshness had not worn off yet, and he immediately refused to agree after hearing Xiao Jinyan's words.

"Why should I go back with you? I'm his brother. If you want to go back, you have to go back with me!"

Xiao Ran didn't care about his face anymore. Before, he felt that the prince was not easy to get close to. Although the two of them were similar in age, Xiao Jinyan was a deep man and not approachable at all. He also had many soldiers at his disposal, which made people even more suspicious.

Li Yuezhu stared blankly as his other hand was grabbed by Xiao Ran, as if he was taking possession of his property, forcing Li Yuezhu to follow him to his mansion.

"I don't know how many spies are buried in your Seventh Prince's Mansion. You are probably being watched whenever you go to the toilet every day. Why do you want this girl to go to your Seventh Prince's Mansion? Is it possible to expose your privacy?"

Xiao Jinyan's answer was not polite. He obviously didn't want Li Yuezhu to follow the Seventh Prince back. In addition, what he said was very reasonable, and Xiao Ran couldn't refute it for a while.

"Listen to my words and come back with me. The capital is a mixed place. The relationships here are intricate. Xiao Ran can't protect you in the whirlpool."

Xiao Jinyan said these words very plainly, as if he were chatting at home. Li Yuezhu pursed her lips and then said carefully:

"I think there's nothing wrong with continuing to stay in the inn. It's very convenient to get in and out. Plus, I don't plan to stay in the capital for a long time. I can leave after I go see my brother."

The brother Li Yuezhu mentioned was of course Li Yuelan, and Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Ran both knew it well.

"It's not appropriate to live in an inn. You dress up in men's clothes all day long, and it's extremely inconvenient to wash and live in. My house in the capital is also clean, so I'll feel at ease if you go back with me."

Xiao Ran curled his lips in disapproval.

"Don't think about kidnapping my sister back. Even if it's inconvenient for my sister in the Seventh Prince's Mansion to live there, I still have several private residences for her to choose!"

Xiao Ran didn't want to have the sister he just recognized snatched away by this heir apparent who came out of nowhere.

"Are your private houses as safe as mine?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xiao Ran coldly, then looked at his residence in Yihong Courtyard, and snorted coldly.

"To put it mildly, it's a private residence, but I don't know if it's a golden house that hides a beauty!"

Xiao Ran became angry all of a sudden: "Who do you think I am? Don't think that you are great just because you are the prince. Speaking of which, you still have to salute and say hello to me when you see me."

"It seems that he is angry out of embarrassment."

Xiao Jinyan still looked calm and did not take Xiao Ran's words seriously at all. In his mind, Xiao Ran was just a child who had not fully grown up.

Xiao Ran had already half sat up and stared angrily.

"Brother Ran!"

Li Yuezhu called out hurriedly and looked at the two of them worriedly. What was going on? Why were they arguing again for no reason?

Xiao Ran was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He glared at Xiao Jinyan. He was not a fool. Xiao Jinyan held two-thirds of the country's military power. Even his father could not touch him. Apart from his status, he was one step ahead of him.

Other than that, it is just a fox pretending to be a tiger.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. Before those lecherous people wake up, we can leave this place of trouble as soon as possible."

After Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, he scooped a bowl of soup for Li Yuezhu. The soup was still steaming, and Li Yuezhu took it happily.

Seeing that the two of them had restored peace, Li Yuezhu breathed a sigh of relief. Of course she didn't know that the two of them had just come to declare their sovereignty.

She didn't eat well at noon yesterday and drank alcohol in the evening. She stayed up until the early morning. Li Yuezhu was extremely hungry. After drinking the warm soup, her body finally recovered.

Eat without talking, sleep without talking.

After the three of them finished their meal, Xiao Jinyan got up and prepared to leave. Li Yuezhu didn't raise any objections to Xiao Jinyan's arrangement. Anyway, he wouldn't be staying at his place for a day or two. Since he had a more comfortable place, Li Yuezhu took care of it.

I agreed as I should.

It seemed that only Xiao Ran was still aggrieved.

The few people had nothing to deal with. Xiao Jinyan took Li Yuezhu's hand and opened the door. As expected, the lights outside dimmed. Yihongyuan was extremely quiet in the early morning, and the lively scene of yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

After crossing the threshold, Xiao Jinyan turned around and said, "Don't worry, it's very safe where I am." Then he left without looking back.

Although Xiao Ran was still aggrieved in his heart, he also knew that Xiao Jinyan was right. The first emperor brother was cowardly by nature, and the second emperor brother had long been ready to replace him. The third emperor brother who stood side by side with the second emperor brother was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In their generation, except for the three royal brothers in front, only Xiao Ran is of similar age. The youngest prince is the tenth prince, and the tenth prince is only six years old now, so he does not pose a threat at all.

Therefore, there are many spies in Xiao Ran's palace, and Xiao Ran also knows it, but he allows these spies to stay in his prince's palace. Although the enemy is hidden and we are clear, if they are cleared away, how can the second and third princes feel at ease?

By then, these two princes will definitely be suspicious of him, and the days to come will definitely be uneven.

Even without Xiao Jinyan, Xiao Ran would not have let Li Yuezhu live at his place, so that this little girl would come into the sight of the second and third princes. The little girl without anyone to protect her was like a living target. Naturally, Xiao Ran would not commit such a crime.

Stupid mistake.

After Li Yuezhu waved goodbye to Xiao Ran, they agreed on a time to meet next time, and then followed Xiao Jinyan into the carriage.

The carriage was still dark blue, with a bell hanging on it. It was still raining non-stop outside, and there was also a strong wind.

The weather was a bit tepid yesterday, but it has become a bit chilly today.

Climbing onto the carriage with both hands and feet, Li Yuezhu couldn't help but get wet from the rain. Even with an oil-paper umbrella, Li Yuezhu's clothes were still wet.

I have to say that good things are good things after all. This carriage is well-made and it looks like a good thing at first glance. Even if there is such a strong wind, the carriage is very dry and no raindrops leak in.
