After Rebirth, His Arch-Enemy Kidnapped Him.

Preview of the next chapter: Xie Linfeng struggled for two days in the small courtyard of Huaihua Lane. The wound is inflamed, the fever persists, and food is running out. Outside, the city-wide manhunt was getting louder and louder. Wang seemed to be sure that she was still in the city, so she sealed all the city gates, and rumors of door-to-door searches were rampant. Although the small courtyard is hidden, it is not absolutely safe. On the night of the third day, Xie Linfeng was awakened by a very slight and rhythmic knocking on the door while he was in a daze. It wasn't the officers and soldiers who violently smashed the door, but three long and two short words, repeated twice - it was the secret code Xie Linxuan had agreed with her! But who is coming? Is it someone sent by Xie Linxuan? Or a trap? Xie Linfeng grasped the half-part rusty hatchet he found beside the stove and quietly moved it behind the door. The knocking on the door stopped, and a very low, unfamiliar young male voice sounded: "There is nothing in Jiangnan." Code! Xie Linfeng's heart was shocked, he hesitated for a moment, and responded hoarsely: "Let's give you a spring." There was a moment of silence outside the door, and he said: "The princess asked, is Miss Shen okay? Mr. Lin has moved." Princess Anping! Lin Ruhai has moved! The news is coming! Xie Linfeng suddenly pulled the door latch open. Under the moonlight outside the door, stood a young man wearing night clothes, with an ordinary face but clear eyes, holding a small wooden box wrapped in black cloth in his hand. "The princess ordered her subordinates to send this thing and sent a message: The evidence has reached the imperial court, but the traitor is about to attack. The contents of this box may temporarily protect the girl's safety, and it is also a token of the princess. Please leave this place quickly and follow your subordinates to a safe place." What is in the wooden box? Why is Princess Anping so anxious all of a sudden? Did Lin Ruhai submit the evidence? How would the emperor react? And how will Wang's party make a crazy counterattack? The clouds of the real decisive battle have enveloped the sky over the capital. Xie Linfeng's hiding place is no longer safe. She had to make a decision immediately.

Preview of the next chapter: Xie Linfeng trudged forward in the dark and damp tunnel, with Xie Linxuan's last words and the pair of cold white jade eyes lingering in his heart. Outside the dry well at the tunnel exit, the responders were actually Wen Xue and the coachman with the scar on his face! Wen Xue's eyes were red, and she handed over a baggage, which contained the clothes of ordinary women and some money, as well as a simple map of Daxiangguo Temple and a portrait of Master Huiming. Without any time to say anything, the coachman drove them to Daxiangguo Temple in the dark. However, not long after they left, there was another commotion in the direction of the Duke's Mansion, and the fire lit up half the sky - the Wang family actually used the government soldiers to start a city-wide search for "escaped slaves" and "rebellious women who colluded with foreign thieves and committed arson"! Wanted portraits will soon plaster the streets. Xie Linfeng's time is running out. The underground palace of the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion in Daxiangguo Temple is full of institutions and heavily guarded. Can she find the seventh Buddhist niche before the pursuers arrive, and use the jade seal and password to unlock the last secret left by the Shen family? And in that secret, besides the blood book, is there something more amazing waiting for her? The real storm is about to sweep in with the opening of the underground palace door!

Preview of the next chapter: The Spring Prayer Banquet ends in a subtle atmosphere. Xie Linfeng's "Lonely Flower Arrangement" was unexpectedly praised by the Queen as "ingenious". Although he did not receive any actual reward, it left an impression on some interested people. Wang's face was gloomy after she returned home. Xie Linfeng's "showing off" made her both angry and vaguely uneasy. Xie Linlang, on the other hand, completely exploded, crying and asking Wang to severely punish Xie Linfeng. Through Li Sanniang's daughter, Xie Linxuan handed over new instructions and something - a jade pendant pattern similar in shape to Xie Linfeng's Shen family jade pendant, but with the word "An" engraved on the back. Princess Anping returned to the palace, stepped back, and took out a small, yellowed portrait of a girl from the most secret compartment of the makeup box. On the back of the girl's neck, there was also a crescent birthmark made of cinnabar. She was silent for a long time in front of the portrait, and her fingertips touched a line of vague small words on the edge of the portrait: "Rong and sister Huicun. Sister An Ning." The undercurrent began to surge. Will the thin layer of window paper between Xie Linfeng and Princess Anping be pierced? What is Xie Linxuan's next plan? And what kind of thunderous methods will Wang use after realizing that Xie Linfeng may be out of control? The peaceful Duke's Mansion is about to experience a real storm.

Preview of the next chapter: The day of the Spring Prayer Feast. The carriage of the Duke's Mansion drove towards the imperial city in the morning fog. Xie Linfeng, wearing the altered clothes, sat silently in the corner, enduring the overt and covert ridicule and scrutiny from his sister Xie Linlang (who was still "ill" but insisted on seeing Xie Linfeng make a fool of himself) and other cousins ​​in the car. The palace gate is deep and the rules are strict. Every step is on an invisible blade. The banquet was held in the royal garden, with flowers blooming, fragrant clothes, and royal family members gathering. Xie Linfeng kept a low profile among the crowd, but his eyes were like a falcon, looking for the girl with the red mole on her left earlobe - Princess Anping. The talent show began, with ladies from various families vying for beauty, with melodious music, graceful dancing and exquisite paintings. When it was Xie Linfeng's turn, the whole place was silent, and all eyes, either curious or contemptuous, were focused on her. She walked towards the field holding a plate of "broken branches and leaves" and a plain pottery vase that had been prepared in advance. Wang had a sneer on her lips, waiting for a good show. The queen frowned slightly. Then, Xie Linfeng started her performance. Her hands are steady and her movements are concise. Dead branches, moss, and a few curled leaves are re-given order and vitality in her hands. A quiet and dry beauty that is completely different from the bustling garden blooms quietly. The house was filled with silence. At this moment, Princess Anping's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Xie Linfeng... And the dark red crescent-shaped old scar on her wrist that had slipped off her sleeves when she was arranging flowers. The wine glass in the princess's hand shook slightly.

Preview of the next chapter: With the inhuman "teaching" of Grandma Yan and the secret help of Li Sanniang, the clothes for the banquet were quietly taken shape. On the fitting day, Mrs. Yu came with an ugly ready-made garment made in the wrong size, waiting to see Xie Linfeng make a fool of herself. However, when Xie Linfeng put on the dress that Li Sanniang had cleverly modified, although it was made of ordinary materials but well-cut, and even vaguely outlined her slim waist, the expressions of Madam Yu and Mrs. Wang who came after hearing the news instantly became wonderful. At the same time, Wen Xue finally couldn't hold back anymore and took the risk to deliver the news: amidst her mother Wen Chen's abnormal fear and Xie Linfeng's sudden alienation, she noticed the tip of the iceberg of a shocking secret. She chose to side with Xie Linfeng and brought a secret message about the Anping Princess that even Xie Linxuan might not know. Three days before the Spring Prayer Banquet, news suddenly came from the palace that the banquet procedures had changed. A new "talent show" was added, and the ladies of each family were called upon to "show their true colors in an eclectic way." Wang's eyes looked at Xie Linfeng, once again full of calculations. Talent? What talents can a foreign girl who was raised as a rough girl and who may not even know her words have? Is this another trap to make her look embarrassed, or... An unexpected turn of events? How will Xie Linfeng respond?

Preview of the next chapter: Xie Linlang, who was "sick", was beating and crying in her room, vowing to find out "the person who harmed her". Although Wang was very worried, she did not relax her vigilance towards Xie Linfeng. While preparing her outfit for the banquet, she weaved an invisible web of closer surveillance. The lady in charge of the sewing room was ordered to come and measure her body. The clothes were made of outdated patterns, the size was intentionally small, and there were soft nails everywhere. And the nanny who teaches etiquette is even more arrogant and tries her best to be harsh and humiliating. Xie Linfeng struggled to learn the royal rules openly and secretly. At the same time, through the vague information sent by Wen Xue, she learned that the Spring Prayer Banquet was not a simple flower-viewing blind date, but involved a subtle struggle between the princes in the court. Xie Linxuan sent someone to secretly deliver a note with only a name and a location on it - the key person she must try to contact at this banquet. Underneath the gorgeous costumes of the feast, the undercurrent became more and more turbulent. How will she complete Xie Linxuan's second mission under Wang's nose? And where will that key figure lead her?

Preview of the next chapter: Xie Linfeng holds the wax pill that represents the point of no return. Poisoning, framing, and taking the initiative to dye her hands black were the price she had to pay. At the same time, the news of the Queen's Spring Prayer Banquet officially spread to the mansion, and the minds of the young ladies in the mansion became active, and overt and covert struggles began to take shape. How will the Wang family deal with the "entering the palace" problem raised by Xie Linxuan? Will she believe that Xie Linfeng is qualified to attend the banquet? Or will he use more insidious means to make Xie Linfeng "get sick" "reasonably"? How will Xie Linfeng complete her dark "debut" in the eldest daughter's cherry? And Wen Xue, amidst her mother's unusual panic and Xie Linfeng's sudden alienation, keenly sensed something was wrong. How would she choose? Should you continue to believe in friendship, or turn to blood ties? After the first sunspot fell together, will the alliance of Qingjizhai become closer, or will there be secret suspicion? The storm is quietly brewing under the gorgeous gold-gilded fonts on the banquet invitation.

Preview of the next chapter: Wen Chen's acquiescence was like the last straw, crushing all the warm fantasies about the Wen family in Xie Linfeng's heart. How will she face Wen Xue? At the same time, Wang's "marriage" network has quietly tightened. A government media official who "happened" to visit "unintentionally" stepped into the West Point courtyard with a post and portrait of an old imperial merchant. The man in the portrait is fat and greasy, with cloudy eyes, but the matchmaker praises him to the extreme. Xie Linfeng is trapped in double betrayal and imminent crisis. Qingjizhai's alliance is her only driftwood, but under this driftwood, is it the shore of salvation or a deeper whirlpool? How will she complete the first "task" given to her by Xie Linxuan? What kind of shocking inside story will this clue about Wen and Chen reveal?

Preview of the next chapter: The information given by Xie Linxuan is earth-shattering. Wen Xue's mother, the seemingly gentle and kind-hearted Mrs. Wen, was actually the one who sent her into the tiger's mouth? How will Xie Linfeng face Wen Xue? Should he tell the truth directly, or should he investigate secretly? After the search turned out to be fruitless, Wang did not give up. She began to exert pressure from another direction - on the grounds that "she was getting older and marriage was difficult to find", she began to look for a "suitable" husband for Xie Linfeng. The other party was a violent old imperial businessman who was nearly fifty years old and had many wives and concubines. Is there a deeper conspiracy hidden behind a seemingly ordinary marriage? How will the fragile and dangerous alliance formed by Xie Linfeng and Xie Linxuan deal with this internal and external dilemma?

Preview of the next chapter: Although Wang's search has temporarily receded, the shadow has deepened. Xie Linfeng realized that the hiding places under the bed and in the mirror were no longer safe. She must transfer the jade pendant rubbings and scrolls as soon as possible, and find someone who can decipher the old cases of the Shen family and is absolutely trustworthy. At the same time, Xie Linxuan's "reminder" was like a bait. Is it a test, or an olive branch? Xie Linfeng decided to take the initiative and go to Qingjizhai. And behind that always-closed courtyard door, what awaits her is a deeper trap, or... The key to the truth?
