After all, Dongfang Duo hadn't killed her yet. Maybe she could use this man to escape Yuwen Jingrui's control.

She stood up, shivering, "My lord, this humble girl does not have any clothes to change."

A gust of wind blew over, and a man's long robe was thrown onto the surface of the bath barrel. She took off her clothes in the water but didn't dare get up for a long time.

"If you still don't come out, I'll throw you out." The man's voice was cold.

Yuwen Tian Qing knew that her only hope of surviving was to obey the man in front of her. Without caring about her shame, she stood up from the bath barrel, took her robe and put it on before climbing out after a long time.

She only had the clothes in the barrel, and just as she was about to turn around and wash, she heard Dongfang Duo say, "Someone, lock her up."

She kneeled down and said, "Sir, this humble girl only has this set of clothes. Can you wait for me to wash my clothes before leaving?"

Dongfang Duo was impatient, "Men, bring him out."

Regarding Yuwen Tian Qing's situation, Yuwen Jingrui was not one bit concerned. That woman would not be able to obtain Dongfang Duo's trust in a short period of time. Thus, on the morning of the second day, he sneaked into a caravan and entered the Tianchong, heading straight for the capital.

He was certain that as soon as his Second royal brother arrived, he would immediately order a search and arrest. The only option left now was to escape.

When Xuanyuan Zhi received the news from the Jingli, his face ashened and he did not make a sound for a long time. Qi Sha worriedly asked, "Your Highness, did something happen to the Jingli?"

He slapped the letter, "Su Ruyi actually made medical Sect issue a Forbidden Medicine Order. As long as the order comes out, Tian Qiong will definitely be thrown into chaos." This was what Xuanyuan Zhi was worried about.

Qi Sha was shocked, "Your Highness, could it be that Miss Ru Yi has already given up on your highness?"

"The Forbidden Medicine Token is still in her hand. She probably wants to use this piece of paper to threaten this king, she is underestimating this king too much." He only wanted to do it for the Tian Qiong, but he would never be threatened.

"Last night, did that person go look for the Second Prince?"

"Your Highness, that person didn't come last night. As usual, the Second Prince has been drinking alone in his room all night." There were always hidden guards there.

"Alright, inform me once that person is out of the inn."

"This subordinate understands." Qi Sha thought for a while. "My prince, what does the wangfei say about the Forbidden Medicine Order?"

"She said she wanted to grow her own medicinal plants." Xuanyuan Zhi had always been trying to figure out which medicine was the best.

Qi Sha's eyes lit up. He knew that she had a way. It was equivalent to going against the medical Sect on the surface. That meant that in the future, the Tian Qiong would not be able to buy another stalk of medicinal herb from the medical Sect.

"Your Royal Highness, Miss Ru Yi has still not released the news yet, is there any chance for us to turn back?"

"Only by preparing for a rainy day can we not be controlled by others."

Not long after, news came from the dark guard that the masked man had left. With a face, Xuanyuan Zhileng quickly reached his resting place.

He had just arrived when the masked man arrived.

"I pay my respects to the Second Prince. I wonder if his Highness has given any consideration?"

"Show your face." Xuanyuan Huo stared at the man in dissatisfaction, "You don't even have that much sincerity, how can I trust you? If Three Emperors is missing right now, I won't be able to dodge in time.

"Second Palace Master's words are wrong! As long as His Highness saves Third Prince this time, it will be a great merit. Even if the Third Prince doesn't remember His Highness' kindness in saving his life, the Emperor will certainly treat His Highness differently. " the man asked.

Xuanyuan Huo seemed to be unmoved, "This Highness only wants to finish this task beautifully, I don't want to interfere in anything else."

"Your Highness, you will leave the capital with the Third Prince. At that time, only one person will be able to return. Based on the Emperor's personality, he will definitely suspect Your Highness."

"This Highness has never done it, there is no evidence even if you suspect it." Xuanyuan Huo said in a cold voice. He really did not want to meddle in other people's business.

Along the way, he and the Third Prince were assassinated. At first, he thought it was the Third Prince who did it, but later he realized that there was someone else. It just so happened that the Third Prince had gone missing at this time. As long as those people didn't provoke him, he would pretend to be blind.

"Your Highness, the position of Crown Prince has always been empty. If the Emperor has any thoughts about Your Highness, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate." The masked man's words made Xuanyuan Huo hesitate.

That year, when royal brother held the position of crown prince, he had actually conspired with Empress Wang to force his way into the palace, which was why he had encountered the calamity of being confined. Judging from the situation in the imperial court, it seemed that the Crown Prince was going to be appointed again. According to the rules of being the head of the imperial court, he was most likely to be appointed as the crown prince. It would not be wise to offend royal father at this time.

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"Save Third Prince." The masked man stared at him.

"This Highness wants to see your face."

The masked man hesitated for a moment before taking off his mask, revealing a face full of scars. Xuanyuan Huo waved his hand as soon as he saw it, "Quickly put it on." It truly affected one's mood.

"My father was a bodyguard. When I was five years old, I had enemies knocking on my door to seek revenge. They annihilated my entire family. I was lucky to have survived until now."

"Are you sure you can find the Third Prince? Do you know why those people want to capture him? " The man shook his head. "The messenger didn't say."

Xuanyuan Huo frowned, "What if it was a trap set up to lure the This Highness in?"

"Your Highness, don't worry. I have already investigated, there are indeed people closely guarding that area."

Xuanyuan Huo thought for a while, "There's no rush to this matter, wait until I calm down the citizens of Jiangnan, then it won't be too late to save them. Since he doesn't have any worries for his life these past few days, it's clear that those people do not wish to kill him. "

"Your Highness!"

"Go back!" "Let's wait a little more." Xuanyuan Huo's cold eyes looked at the masked man's back as he walked out. This man was truly suspicious, and had to be checked carefully, "Men, follow me."

"Yes." A guard replied.

Looks like we didn't find anything tonight, Xuanyuan Zhi was already sure that this person was the Emperor. Since he was so desperate to let Xuanyuan Huo save Xuanyuan Yan, he definitely did not have good intentions. He suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but be shocked. If that was the case, the Third Prince would be in danger!

"Qi Sha, wait for the Second Prince's men to retreat. Bring the masked man over to this king."

"Yes."

"Don't reveal your identity."

After the time it takes to eat, Qi Sha brought in a man and poured water from the teapot onto the man's head. The man quivered and immediately became clear-headed. When he saw two people in the room, he said angrily, "Who are you people?"

Xuanyuan Zhi held onto an order badge in his hand, and waved it in front of the man, causing him to immediately calm down, "This one does not know, Master, please forgive me." This man knew that in their organization, only the most top people were worthy to have it.

"Humph!" Xuanyuan Zhi bellowed.

"Lord, did I do wrong? Did I make you angry?"

"What exactly is going on with the Third Prince?" Xuanyuan Zhi opened his mouth, the man was startled, and a bit suspicious. Xuanyuan Zhi said again, "I asked you to lure the Second Prince over, why was there no movement?"

"My lord, I have done my best. The Second Prince is too crafty, please give me a few more days." The man had a bitter expression as he continued to beg.

"I'll give you two more days. If you can't finish it, you know the consequences." Xuanyuan Zhi looked at the man, "This time, Master, I came personally under the orders of the Emperor, you are not to alert anyone."

"I understand, I will definitely remember that."

Glancing at Qi Sha, Qi Sha waved his hand and cut him, and the man fainted again. After Qi Sha brought the person away, Xuanyuan Zhi took off a thin mask from his face and carefully put it away in the box.

When Qi Sha returned, seeing that the King was still awake, he came in and asked, "Your Royal Highness, what order badge did you give that person?"

"It was an organization that was privately established by the Emperor, the Royal Feather Guard. Once, I killed one of them and they were taken away. I didn't expect to actually use it today. Actually, This King is only giving it a try. " Xuanyuan Zhi only guessed that the Emperor would use these people this time.

"Your highness is truly wise." Qi Sha praised.

On the second night, the masked man went to find Xuanyuan Huo. When Xuanyuan Huo saw him, she hesitated for a while, but still said resolutely, "This Highness said that I would look for Third Prince after I recuperate. Did you not remember?"

The man was very anxious. "Second Prince, I've received news that those people want to kill the Third Prince so that he can be blamed. Your Highness has still made the decision earlier, so as to not be too passive. "

Xuanyuan Huo bellowed, "You are well-informed, could it be that you want to work with those people to scheme for the This Highness?"

The man quickly kneeled down. "Your Highness, this one has always wanted to join Your Highness. Please believe in this one's sincerity and will never harm you."

Xuanyuan Huo said in disdain, "Truly, letting my Sanyuandi off so easily still requires her to personally save me. I'll gather the people, you lead the way. "

Very quickly, Xuanyuan Huo summoned all forty guards and used the darkness as cover as they quickly left the city. Xuanyuan Zhi, who was following them, had a dark expression on his face and the anger in his eyes grew even stronger. The Third Prince was not outside the city. It was obvious that he was lying.

After running for more than five kilometers, seeing that the masked man had not stopped, Xuanyuan Huo asked impatiently, "Where exactly are they?"

The man looked into the distance, "Your Highness, after the dense forest ahead, we will see a valley, and the third prince will be locked up there."

"You're lying, there's no valley within a hundred miles of the city." The guard beside Xuanyuan Huo took out his sword and pointed it at the masked man.

The masked man was not afraid, and explained, "If the valley had been so easily discovered, those people would not have chosen this place. If you don't believe me, you can follow me over to take a look. "

The guard snorted, "Lead the way."

The masked man cupped his hands towards Xuanyuan Zhi: "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment, I will return shortly."

The guard followed the masked man for three-quarters of an hour, and when he returned, he nodded at Xuanyuan Huo, "Your highness, there is indeed an entrance hidden there. If you enter, you will be able to see a valley."

The guards had already personally verified it. Xuanyuan Huo no longer doubted them and quickly brought them to a large mountain. His face darkened. He couldn't see the valley, but he could see the mountain.

"Your Highness, please wait." The masked man walked to the mountain wall and picked up some vines, revealing a dark hole. The man went in without a word.
