The hidden guard heard about something and hastily said, "Crown Prince, I heard that Dingguang Mansion broke into the assassin room a few nights ago. It was a man and a woman who ran away but were unable to catch them. Is Princess Yan Yue searching for those two people? "

How could Dongfang Yanyue be so kind? Dongfang Shun did not believe it.

Furthermore, Dongfang Duo was only breathing at the moment, as long as the assassin's brain was fine, he would not enter the Palace to assassinate him.

"Send people to keep an eye on Yan Yue, and help me check on Unparalleled Young Noble." When Dongfang Duo was assassinated, the Unparalleled Young Noble was very suspicious.

He should have been investigated a long time ago, but he had a lot of work to do as the crown prince. Especially the officials with whom Dongfang Duo had accomplished a great service at the border trials, they thought they saw hope.

After the successful return of the army, Dongfang Duo was bestowed the title of Stable King, which caused a number of people to become extremely dissatisfied. Now that he was free, he had to settle this matter with the Unparalleled Young Noble.

He frowned. According to his follower in Stable King, the person who assassinated him that day was dressed in purple. If there was one person that was marked with purple, it would be the Marquis of Zi Yi. A little later, the secret guard appeared in a hurry, "Crown Prince, I heard that Princess Yan Yue is looking for a man and a woman."

"Any other clues?"

The dark guard lowered his head in remorse. Dongfang Shun dismissed the dark guard and decided to make a trip to Dingguang Mansion in the dark of the night. The Dingguang Mansion had one of his own, but it had never been activated.

When he was young, he entered the Dingguang Mansion. Although the Dingguang Mansion was heavily guarded, he still had ways to avoid its defenses. After entering, he went straight to the backyard and stopped at the edge of the flower bed. He made a hand gesture to the darkness, but there was no one there after a long time.

He was secretly annoyed, guessing that this hidden snitch had failed. It seemed that he could only think of another way.

The women in the backyard were all from Stable King. There were many women, and most of them were sent by officials.

He leaped up a tree and saw that there was a light on in another room in the dark backyard. He quickly rushed over and entered the room when he was sure there was only one woman there. Before the woman could cry out in shock, he had already covered her mouth with his hand.

"You're not allowed to scream, or I'll strangle you to death." He placed his palm on the woman's neck, causing the woman to tremble in fear as she continuously nodded her head.

Seeing that she agreed, Dongfang Shun let go of her and extinguished the candle flame. The lady thought he wanted to do something, so she quickly grabbed onto his collar: "You, don't come over, I'm from Stable King."

"I'm not interested in you, answer a few questions honestly. Answer well, I'll let you go."

The woman tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, and she almost screamed out a few times.

"You don't have to be afraid. Let me ask you, a few days ago, an assassin entered Dingguang Mansion. Do you know who that assassin is?"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes wide. She thought that Dongfang Duo couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness, and said in panic, "How would a woman who lives in the back house know about this?"

"Then I'll scrape your face and see if Stable King wants a ugly bastard with a ruined face." Dongfang Shun threatened.

The woman was none other than Yuwen Tian Qing, who had been brought back to the Palace by Dongfang Duo and changed his name to Li Chang Le. Although she didn't know much about the front courtyard, she had seriously inquired about it.

The girls in the backyard didn't have any other abilities, but they still kept a close eye on Dongfang Duo. That day, a girl suddenly came to the front courtyard. The news spread like a gust of wind through the back courtyard. Yuwen Tian Qing who was a woman who had no relatives in the Nine Moons Country and relied on Dongfang Duo for her meals, paid special attention to him.

Although the servants of the house had also said that assassins had come from the front yard, what kind of person was Yuwen Tian Qing?

She steadied her emotions, "According to my understanding, that person wasn't an assassin, but a girl that I don't know where brought back. It seems like she was asked to treat the prince, the woman said she couldn't cure him, and insisted on leaving. There was a conflict between the two, and when the woman couldn't win, someone rushed in to save her."

This was completely different from the secret guard's inquiries. Dongfang Shun asked again, "What's the woman's name?"

Yuwen Tian Qing shook his head, but still gave a useful reply, "I heard that the woman is as beautiful as a flower, or that there is a flower word in her name."

Dongfang Shun immediately thought of Hua Qian Yan as if he was struck by lightning. If the woman who was brought into Dingguang Mansion was Yan Er, then Yan Yue's way of doing things made sense. But why did Yan Er come to the Nine Moons Country? Even if she came, shouldn't she go to the Crown Prince's Palace to look for him?

'This girl … '

He did not dare think about it further and quickly left the Dingguang Mansion. Yan Er, Yan Er, it can't be you. The current Dongfang Shun was feeling extremely conflicted. While thinking about how he definitely could not be Yan Er, he was also hoping that Yan Er would really come. That small and light figure kept flashing before his eyes. Every move, every smile, every action was full of love.

After exiting the Dingguang Mansion, he immediately summoned his secret guard. "Walk to my study in the dark pavilion, take out the portrait inside and search through the entire city for the woman on the portrait. Remember, treat her with respect."

His subordinates might not have seen Hua Qian Yan before, but they definitely knew that there was a portrait of a woman hidden in the Crown Prince's study. For many nights, the Crown Prince would sit by the portrait until daylight, before finally placing it in the Dark Pavilion with a smile on his face.

He received the order on foot and immediately dashed away.

Dongfang Shun made a trip to Yan Yue's shadow palace. Aside from Dongfang Yanyue's bedroom, he searched everywhere else at least twice, but to no avail. His heart grew heavier, and he was afraid that Yan Er would have an accident at his place.

When he was poisoned, he had also heard about Yan Yue's attitude toward him from the guards later on. On one hand, Yan'er was his own sister. Adding to the fact that Yan Er had already returned to the Paleo-Wushan, this matter had been put on hold. If the person who came was really Yan Er, he definitely would not let her off this time.

Yuwen Jingrui came to the Dingguang Mansion to try his luck tonight, to see if he could enter. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet with Dongfang Shun who had just came out. Although he did not know who that person was, if others could enter, he, Yuwen Jingrui could too.

Unexpectedly, the moment he leaped onto the wall, he saw that the defenses inside were just as tight as a few days ago. He could not help but be angry, but how could he be willing to leave just like that? It seemed like the person who came out from the backyard was giving him a reminder.

He rolled his eyes and headed straight for the backyard. Then he took out a handful of spices and placed them on the wall to light it up. The smoke from the incense was blown into the yard by the wind. An hour later, he jumped in as if there was no one else present.

After successfully finding Yuwen Tian Qing, she took out a small medicine bottle and smoked it under her nose. She slowly opened her eyes. Sensing that there was someone above him, Yuwen Tian Qing exclaimed and jumped up.

"Shut up, it's me." Yuwen Jingrui's voice was like a nightmare, immediately stopping Yuwen Tian Qing's scream.

"It's the middle of the night. What are you doing here?"

"Let me see how Dongfang Duo treats you!" Yuwen Jingrui's voice was frivolous, but his eyes were filled with coldness, "How is Dongfang Duo?"

"How should I know? I was just the most inconspicuous of his dozens of women. I can't even take a single step into the front courtyard. I even heard about his injuries from others. " Yuwen Tian Qing felt very frustrated, she thought that after following Dongfang Duo, she would slowly live a good life, and break away from Yuwen Jingrui's control. Unexpectedly, not long after this, Dongfang Duo had already stepped into the gates of hell.

"You can talk to me in this tone when you have earned your place. If I can send you to his side and help you, I can take you away and destroy you. Your attitude makes me very unhappy. " Yuwen Jingrui was unhappy with Yuwen Tian Qing's attitude.

Yuwen Tian Qing was a little afraid. Compared to the person in front of her, she would rather stay by Dongfang Duo's side. Even if it meant never having a name or a right to do so, she was willing to do so.

She bit the tip of her tongue to clear it. He softened his attitude, "royal brother, I was anxious and confused, and am not dissatisfied with you. Seeing Dongfang Duo like that, I could only panic in the backyard. There are at least thirty or forty women in his house, and all of them are making me anxious. "

Yuwen Jingrui glanced at her, "If it's really as you say, you can still be considered to have a conscience."

His hand stroked her chest and pinched it. Seeing Yuwen Tian Qing was trembling uncontrollably, he sneered, "What are you afraid of? You're so dirty, I feel disgusted just by looking at you. "

Yuwen Tian Qing clenched his fist and smashed it towards him, "Yuwen Jingrui, I don't know who caused this today, but I want to beat you to death."

Yuwen Jingrui easily clenched her fist, "Are you angry from embarrassment? How many people have you slept with? I still have the same line, you do things for me obediently, after this, I'll set you free. At that time, if you like Dongfang Duo, you can be together with him for the rest of your life. "

Yuwen Tian Qing was so angry that he started crying. Looking at her painful face, Yuwen Jingrui felt annoyed to death, he waved her away and took out a pill from his bosom. He passed it to her and said, "You think of a way to go to the front yard and give this to Yuwen Jingrui to eat."

Yuwen Tian Qing did not care about crying and said in a frightened voice, "You … You want to poison him? "

"This is a medicine to save him. I guarantee that after he eats it, he will be able to sit up tomorrow morning." Seeing Yuwen Tian Qing was not accepting it, he stretched out his hand to grab her neck and said viciously: "You've grown up, eh? It's only been a few days, and she's already elbowing her way out? Do you think he'd take you for his pleasure if he knew about your sordid affairs? "

Yuwen Tian Qing was afraid that her past would be exposed. In the past, she had abandoned herself and felt that she did not care about anything. But after following Dongfang Duo, she had unknowingly fallen in love with him, and only wanted to reveal her most perfect side to him.

She knelt down according to Yuwen Jingrui's hands, "royal brother, I beg you to give Tian Qing a way out, don't let me poison him to death."

"Let me repeat, this is not poison. On the other hand, I can still save him. After he wakes up, I'll create a chance for him to take you out for fun.

Yuwen Tian Qing was moved by his words, she grinded her teeth and took the pill, but was a bit troubled, "The front yard is heavily guarded, I can't even enter."
