His Highness the Crown Prince also felt that something was strange.

It seemed that he..

Had never doubted her.

From the moment she appeared to the moment he accepted her things, although he was skeptical on the surface, he had never had that thought in his heart.

His Highness the Crown Prince clenched the cloak on his body tightly. This unruly person..

They had been locked up here for two days.

Neither of them gave the other a good look. If you were to argue with me, I would argue with you.

If you don’t treat me badly, I will do everything I can to treat you badly.

It was as if I would feel uncomfortable if I didn’t treat you badly.

On the morning of the third day.

Ming Shu heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground.

The crown prince looked at her as if he had already guessed what was going to happen next. “You can find a chance to run later.”

As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, the door was opened. Light poured in, and dust flew in the air.

“Your Highness, come out.”

The crown prince stood up. His cape fell to the ground, and he walked out of the door without fear.

A horse carriage was parked in the courtyard outside.

There were many people standing around the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man in embroidered clothes came out with a smile on his face. “Hahahaha, Your Highness, Don’t blame me. There was a small accident, and it took me so many days to get here.”

The man got off the carriage with the help of a servant.

A hearty laughter spread throughout the courtyard.

“It’s really you.”

The man cupped his hands. “It’s me.”

“Lord Lu, it’s already so important, why are you still pretending?”The crown prince snorted. “You’re not tired. I’m tired just by looking at you, especially since you’re so ugly. I’m sick of looking at you.”

Lord Lu retracted his hand. Although he was still smiling, it was obvious that he was colder than before. “Your Highness, you’ve offended someone.”

He was now his prisoner, yet he still dared to speak to him like this.

Did he really think that he was still the crown prince.

“Offending Lord Lu won’t have a good ending, right?”The crown prince continued, “Then I really want to see what will happen if I offend Lord Lu. I’ll be soaked in iron water, or I’ll be cut into a thousand pieces.”

Lord Lu was confident and did not care about the crown prince’s provocation. Instead, he said, “If your highness likes it, I am naturally willing to serve you in every way.”

“I have carefully lured away the people around you. Sigh, speaking of which, I am lucky. It just so happens that your highness does not know martial arts, so I picked up a loophole. Otherwise, this matter…”

Lord Lu spread his hands and revealed a helpless expression.

His Highness the Crown Prince was here to investigate a case this time. Because it involved too much, Lord Lu’s party wanted to silence him.

“Back then, this humble subject told your highness not to investigate this matter.”Lord Lu Sighed. “But Your Highness didn’t listen and didn’t want to make a fortune with this humble subject. Then this humble subject had no choice. Your Highness, this is what you forced this humble subject to do.”

“Is that so?”

Although the man in front of him was in a sorry state, his aura was not weak at all.

He was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

The empress dowager and her party were eyeing him covetously, but he was not as easy to control as the emperor.

“Lord Lu, do you know what you did wrong?”

Lord Lu’s heart became slightly vigilant.

He glanced around and saw that everyone was his own people. He did not find anything unusual.

“I wonder what I have done wrong?”

The Crown Prince’s lips curled up, revealing a cold and sarcastic arc. “You didn’t kill me at the first moment.”

The uneasiness in Lord Lu’s heart expanded endlessly.

A voice sounded in the air. Lord Lu turned his head and saw countless people rushing over from the sky.

“Lord Lu has offended your superiors. Kill him without mercy!”

The crown prince’s voice spread throughout the entire courtyard.

The people who rushed over from the sky did not give Lord Lu’s people any chance to kill them.

“Your Highness, I have really underestimated you!”

“You flatter me.”The crown prince stood with his hands behind his back. “After all, I am the Crown Prince, and you are not.”

Lord Lu gritted his teeth.

There was no use regretting now. The only way was to kill them all here.

Fortunately..

Just in case, he didn’t bring so few people today.

Lord Lu took out a signal flare from his sleeve.

“All of you, Attack!”

The crown prince frowned as he looked at the signal flare that exploded in the sky. “Let’s end this quickly! Take down the rebels who have offended their superiors!”

The battle in the courtyard became even more intense. Lord Lu was protected in the middle. If his men died, there would be others to replace them.

For a moment, there was nothing he could do.

“Your Highness, be careful!”

No matter how powerful the Crown Prince’s aura was, it could not change the fact that he was a weakling.

When someone stabbed at him, he could only retreat.

His back was suddenly blocked by someone. His heart skipped a beat and his front blurred. His cape caught the sharp weapon that was coming at him and he flung it to the side. Together with the person, he flung it onto the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.

The next second, the cloak fell on his body.

The crown prince looked down at the cloak and turned to the side.

“You… Don’t have any martial arts skills?”

“Yes.”Ming Shu smiled and said gently, “But I didn’t say that I can’t fight.”

The crown prince:”…”How dare you lie to me!

–

Lord Lu’s people arrived very quickly. There were more than half of the people on the crown prince’s side.

The crown prince’s side seemed to be unable to handle it. Many people retreated to the crown prince’s side and asked him to retreat first.

After weighing the pros and cons, the crown prince decided to listen to his subordinates.

“Come with me.”The crown prince grabbed Ming Shu’s hand and pulled her back.

“Your Highness, where do you want to go?”Lord Lu led his men and cut off his retreat. “I still have a lot to say to Your Highness.”

“Take good care of our Prince!”Lord Lu ordered the people behind him with a gloomy face.

“Your Highness, You Go First!”

The prince didn’t hesitate. Under the cover of his subordinates, he pulled Ming Shu back.

However, Lord Lu was determined to kill him here, no matter the cost.

Before the Prince and Ming Shu could run out of the courtyard, they were stopped by someone.

“Ah!”

Ming Shu pulled them back. The crown prince staggered and fell behind Ming Shu.

Ming Shu raised her foot and kicked the person who was rushing over.

She took a deep breath. Her meridians were severely damaged. With this kind of force, her whole body was in pain.

Ming Shu blocked the attacks of the two people in a row.

A person suddenly rushed in from the side. The cold light reflected by the sharp blade flashed in the eyes of the crown prince.

He instinctively pounced toward Ming Shu.

The sharp blade pierced the Cape and left a bloody mark on the Crown Prince’s arm.

When the pain on his arm came, the crown prince finally reacted.

Why did he save her?

“Don’t look at me like that. Since I have implicated you, I will protect you.”

”… Your Highness, don’t make trouble, Okay?”

”…”

Ming Shu struggled away from him and threw a punch to the side to block an attack.

Bang!

The smoke exploded in front of Ming Shu and the crown prince.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Ming Shu suddenly felt someone grab her wrist, and then her body rose into the air. The small courtyard was instantly thrown to the back.
