Before leaving the palace to convince the imperial aunt and search for evidence, the more you know, the faster you can solve this matter and get to the root of it.

In less than a stick of incense, Bai Yi brought over an unconscious soldier in armor.

Covering his face with a veil, he stood behind the soldier and lowered his voice, "Wake him up and ask him who the little eunuch he saw that day was. If you don't tell him, use some means. It will be dawn soon. Let's fight quickly." quick decision."

"Yes."

Bai Yi opened his acupuncture points with his fingertips and asked the question in a stiff voice.

Unexpectedly, this soldier had some backbone and stared round his eyes without uttering a word.I feel like my mute hole has been unlocked, and I want to open my mouth to shout, but I'm kicked to the point where I'm going to eat shit.

Bai Yi stepped forward to seal the acupuncture points, and began to squat down and pull out his nails one by one, lowering his head as if he was studying some arithmetic problem seriously.

Yiman glanced at the sky, let out a 'tsk' sound, pulled out the dagger and stabbed the palace gate guard's back acupuncture point. The pain was so painful that he broke through the mute point and made a sound.

Yiman lowered himself from behind him and spoke in his ear with a deep voice, "Which palace does the little eunuch who talked to you that day belong to?"

The guards at the palace gate were already dripping with cold sweat, and the sudden sound in their ears seemed to be coming from hell, making people feel cold from head to toe.

"No, no, it's the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince's attendant, help, help—"

Bai Yi knocked him out quickly, and Yiman heard the footsteps in the distance. The two looked at each other, threw away the guards, and quickly left the imperial city.

Dali Temple Prison

A man in a gray cloak stood in the shadows and kept coughing, his head lowered and his appearance unclear.

A secret guard not far away waved away his men before walking to Gray Cloak and said, "Your Highness, there is no one left."

The prince nodded, glanced at the prisoner with his back turned, and walked into the cell.

Feng Chuyuan Yuma was personally investigated by the emperor, but no one could find out where the man was being held.

The prince was also on his way to meet the Shatuo Kingdom's envoy, and learned the news about where he was being held, and asked his substitute to go to the posthouse first.He personally came to ask why this former subordinate suddenly disappeared and betrayed Yiman, and whether the testimony was true.

Seeing that the prisoner had his back turned to them and motionless, the secret guard took out his dagger and stood in front of the prince.With a light kick, the prisoner fell aside.

The secret guard stepped forward and saw that the prisoner had no external injuries or poisoning. He seemed to have died suddenly and had rigor mortis.

The secret guard stood up and walked to the prince's side, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I don't know the cause of death. He has been dead for a long time."

Compassion flashed in the prince's eyes. Everyone around him was picked up one by one by him from all over the place, and most of them met a miserable fate.Such a person really shouldn't die in this Dali Temple prison for no apparent reason.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

The prince turned and walked out, "There are not many people who can get rid of the witnesses first and get the news faster than me. This is a series of tricks. If I predict well, I will do it first, and then I will. At this time , someone has probably gone to Yanying Hall to report to Emperor Father that I have been to the Dali Temple prison and that Feng Chuyuan’s royal horse was killed by me.”

The only person who has vested interests in these three things and has the ability to accomplish these three things is the Seventh Prince.

"Your Highness, I will take you away first."

The prince nodded, and just as he was about to walk back, he suddenly stopped and said, "Let's take another route and send me to the Fu family. Let the substitute secret guard go directly to the Fu family after condolences to the envoy."

Since the other party has already figured out the next step, there must be an ambush and "witnesses" waiting on the way here, and there must be many dangers on the way to the post house.

The only way is to disrupt the plan and find a way out of the variables.

Yiman and Bai Yi stayed in the dark and waited until there were more people on the street before walking on the street. As soon as they passed through an alley, they met a man in black with a dagger in his hand.

Bai Yi stepped forward to block Yiman. The man in black put away his dagger in the next second and saluted Yiman.

"My subordinate Zhi Ge is the secret guard of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness met Eunuch Lu. Now the Fu family invites the eldest princess to come."

Yiman stood up from behind Bai Yi, looked at the man in black, and said cautiously, "What's the proof?"

"Eunuch Lu just revealed that his subordinate was one of the people who killed Eunuch Lu outside the palace."

Eunuch Lu, the eunuch who was bribed to let Cheng Youping escape the punishment of claustrophobia?
Yiman raised his eyebrows, "How did you meet Lu Bo?" "It was Eunuch Lu who knew the news that the eldest princess was in trouble. He stopped the prince's guard outside the palace to express condolences to the Shatuo Kingdom envoy, and was sent to Fu by the guards. House's."

Lu Bo knew the news that she was trapped in the palace, and because of his wisdom, he would not rush into the palace and get himself into trouble.The best way is to ask others for help.If you meet the prince's brother, you will naturally seize the opportunity to find out the news.

Yiman nodded, "Let's go, you lead the way."

"Yes."

Zhi Ge agreed and flew away.

Bai Yi quickly rushed to Fu's house with Yiman.

Entering Fu's house through the back door, they saw Fu Wen waiting aside.

Fu Wenzheng bowed respectfully, "Princess."

Yiman nodded with a smile, "Cousin."

Fu Wenzheng responded and stepped aside to make way, "We are all one family. Princess, don't worry. Your Highness is waiting in father's study, please."

Fu Wenzheng was truly a considerate gentleman. Seeing that she was still wary, he took the initiative to explain and comfort her in the name of his family.

Yiman smiled and nodded, not seeing a single servant along the way, and walked to the study.

"Your Highness, father, the eldest princess is here."

The prince was conversing with a middle-aged man with a Yi Zi Hu, holding his hands behind his back. Yiman walked in and looked at the prince.

"Old minister joins the eldest princess."

He calmly gave me a hand and said, "Uncle, please get up."

Even though she was in a desperate situation, she still remained calm and calm. She was indeed not an ordinary woman.

Master Fu smiled and stood up, "We haven't seen each other for ten years, and I don't want to be in this situation now. The eldest princess and His Highness have something to talk about, so I will leave first. After discussing the business, we can talk about family ties."

Yiman responded with a faint smile, "Uncle said yes, thank you uncle."

Master Fu nodded and left the study with Fu Wenzheng.

Yiman and the prince looked at each other and blurted out at the same time, "It's the seventh prince."

The prince smiled lightly, picked up the gray cloak, walked over to Yiman, and put it on her, "When did you know about it?"

Yiman rubbed his cold hands and said, "This morning, the seventh prince's young eunuch saw the money I gave to Feng Chuyuan to drive a carriage."

"That man is one of my subordinates. He has been detained in Dali Temple Prison. I just went to see him and he is dead."

Yiman's eyes were confused for a moment, and then with ferocious killing intent, "His ultimate goal is to deal with you?"

"It should be the two of us. Does his sister always have ill intentions towards you?"

Speaking of which, this seventh prince is the brother of the seventh princess Bai Renyi.No wonder there was no movement after Bai Renyi was released by Concubine De for such a long time. It turned out to be a tactic.

He smiled disdainfully and did not deny it.

"Father should call me back to the palace for questioning soon. Do you need anything from my brother?"

Yiman shook his head slightly, "I also want to ask, is there anything I can do to help the emperor now? No matter how you look at it, I am the one who has caused the emperor's brother."

There was a smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, "The matter of seizing the heir comes spontaneously from the heart. It is not your fault or my fault. Don't think about it too much. Brother Huang will leave Zhi Ge to you. If anything happens, let him send a message to the palace. How are you?"

Yiman pondered for a few breaths, then shook his head slightly, "No need, Emperor brother, what you have to face when you return to the palace is a life and death fight to seize the legitimate son, which is much more dangerous than what I have here. Lu Bo is back, and he should have brought me helpers. Emperor Brother, don’t worry about me.”

The prince hesitated for a while, then nodded when he saw the persistence in Yiman's eyes, "That's fine, but have you figured out how to break the situation?"
