"What should we do?" Du Kun was also a little nervous: "How about we go back?"

He has always been a good boy.

He has always been a good man who knows the rules and listens to his master.

Jiang Yuan was speechless: "It's already like this. Are you still planning to go back? Impossible."

She directly pulled Du Kun out. She was familiar with the roads in the palace, and she knew where the guards were tight and where they were not. But she couldn't use the palace gate: "We both jumped out from the wall."

"..." Du Kun gasped: "You know that if we are caught, we will be beheaded, right?"

"certainly."

Jiang Yuan and Du Kun were walking side by side, and when they were about to leave the area of ​​Si Shen's Mansion, there was another sedan at the corner. A closer look revealed that it was the eldest prince Shen Zhixiu.

He was leaning on the sedan chair with a sad look on his face.

Damn it, what day is this? The princes are going out together, right?

Jiang Yuan directly pulled Du Kun to kneel down, but the other party seemed not to notice the two of them, and was still muttering:

"I didn't expect that girl to be the real murderer of Song Rushan. I don't think she looks like a murderer at all."

"First Prince, you are too simple. Doesn't it mean that you are a bad person if you are weak?" The eunuch under the sedan said seriously: "Sometimes, the better a person is, the worse he is."

"That's true. It seems that this girl killed Song Rushan because of Shen Weibai's instigation. She will be punished. It seems that Gu Chen Weibai can't do it either."

He seemed to be regretful and said: "Father seems to be completely unable to tolerate him this time."

"You can't say such nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I heard what my father said with my own ears, and I felt it was a pity, so I wanted to come here to see that girl."

The group of people walked away while talking.

Jiang Yuan and Du Kun looked at each other, and their expressions gradually turned gloomy. Du Kun, who was originally timid for fear of causing trouble for his master, also changed his expression: "Did I hear you right just now?"

"The Emperor wants to kill His Highness Third Highness." Jiang Yuan frowned, confused: "Why? Even if he doesn't like His Highness Third Highness, he won't kill him."

It turns out that this dog emperor can kill Shen Weibai when he is cruel.

And he said it in front of Shen Zhixiu. Is this guy really the emperor's most beloved son?

She gritted her teeth and pulled Du Kun quickly to the remote palace gate:

"Leave quickly."

-

At this time, a carriage was driving slowly outside the city. The outside of the carriage looked ordinary, but if you looked closely at the inside, you could see that it was made of fine fabrics and wood. Shen Weibai was sitting in the carriage, stroking his hands. Long sword, eyebrows solemn.

Su Qiao, who was driving outside, said in confusion:

"Master, you said that when something happened in the former palace, although the emperor valued you, he never let you out. Why did he let you out this time?"

Indeed, on the surface he is the most powerful of the Three Highnesses, and he knows everything at once, but his father never values ​​him.

In other words, all those good-looking things he does outside are just to protect his beloved son.

But why is it different this time?

Jiang Yuan's face suddenly flashed through his mind. Shen Weibai thought of something and his eyes sank: "Go back to the palace!"

Su Qiao was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and immediately turned his horse's head. However, the assassins who came up from behind him at some point made his heart freeze.

"Master..." Su Qiao touched the dagger at his waist and looked at the man in black who surrounded them with a serious expression: "We seem to be too late."

-

As soon as Jiang Yuan and Du Kun climbed over the wall and left the palace, they heard bursts of urgent voices coming from inside the palace wall:

"The prisoner in Si Shen Mansion has escaped. There is an order from above to close the door and not allow anyone to enter or exit! Catch the real culprit!!"

She didn't dare to delay, so she took Du Kun and ran away. She didn't dare to stop until she reached a populated place. She found a horse seller, bought two horses with all the money she had, and went straight to Shen Weibai's destination.

"I don't know how the master is doing." Du Kun said worriedly: "Is he going to be okay?"

If the emperor wants to kill him, he can't be gentle with them like he was in the palace. In a deserted place, no one can see him, and no matter how cruel the method is, he will not miss the mark.

Jiang Yuan ignored him and drove faster, just to get there faster.

The horse's hooves splashed up fine sand, causing passers-by to flee in all directions. She raised her whip high and did not dare to let go of any familiar carriage or figure.

Suddenly, her attention was drawn to the corpses scattered on the ground: "Wait!"

She tightened her grip on the horse's head and jumped off, her heart suddenly feeling cold.

Large areas of blood stains merged with the soil. The corpses were in different postures, and some even had their hands and feet broken.

Jiang Yuan knelt down and looked at the long knife in the assassin's hand. It was also covered in blood. It must have belonged to Su Qiao and Shen Weibai.

Walking further, she saw Su Qiao's knife, Shen Weibai's hair ornament, and a pool of blood on the ground.

Du Kun no longer dared to think further: "We don't know how many people they sent here. If there are many people and the master is gone, we-"

"Go back." Jiang Yuan's hands and feet were cold. She couldn't imagine that Shen Weibai would die, but the evidence at the scene showed that Shen Weibai and Su Qiao were probably killed.

He is only twenty years old now.

He is not the all-powerful third prince in the past.

If he died——

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions: "Go back and look for him. I'll see him dead or his body. I don't believe he died so easily!"

"Wait a minute." Du Kun suddenly grabbed her and said, "Don't panic yet. I suddenly thought that the master might be somewhere."

Her heart trembled, as if a light suddenly lit up in the dark world, and she nodded without resistance.

Wanhua Tower is the largest restaurant in the imperial city.

Du Kun took her to the first floor and said, "It's not easy for others to see in here, so please forgive me." As he said that, he covered her eyes with a cloth and held her arm.

"Be careful of the steps." He said this, leading her to an unknown place step by step.

She could smell the dampness inside and feel the depressing atmosphere in the narrow space.

When someone passes by, they will say hello to Du Kun: "Master Du? This person behind you is..."

"It's a long story. Is the master here?" Du Kun said anxiously.

"I didn't see it." The man said, "Go to his room and have a look."

Du Kun nodded, led her forward, his steps were a little faster, and he pushed the door open: "Master!"

Jiang Yuan also immediately took off his blindfold, but there was no one in the dim room in front of him.

Her heart suddenly went cold, and she became a little unsteady.

Du Kun immediately grabbed her hand, and the two of them seemed to be grabbing the last straw, neither of them willing to let go.
