I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

In prison, Yang Zhaoyang lay on the wooden bed, feeling worried.

He was put in prison at that moment, and he didn't know whether Sister Ruying and Lingzhi had taken good care of Yang Liu.

Yang Zhao was not worried that Prince Yu would kill him now. At most, he would lock him up for a while and come back to find him after the court was in order.

However, he was still somewhat worried about Yang Liu.

……

While he was still daydreaming, someone approached the prison door in the dark. There was a sound of chains colliding, and the door was pushed open.

Yang Zhao glanced and saw it was the jailer.

"Second Young Master, I'm here to take you out." The jailer spoke first and stood at the door waiting.

The surroundings were very quiet, leaving only the sound of two people talking.

"Are you my brother's man?" Yang Zhao sat up when he heard someone talking. He was not in a hurry to leave.

"Yes."

"How did she know that I was put in jail?" Yang Zhao frowned and asked himself a seemingly stupid question.

The jailer shook his head and denied Yang Zhao's mumbling, "The eldest son doesn't know. From the beginning to the end, the eldest son only gave us one order. If there is an incident in the palace, the second son is the boss and the decision is entirely up to the second son."

Hearing the jailer say this, he understood that they had planted someone in the palace. "How many people do you have in the palace?"

"There are some in every palace, gate and bank." The jailer said calmly.

“………” Yang Zhao was speechless. It would be a pity if he didn’t just rebel and become emperor.

Afterwards, Yang Zhao asked some more questions, "So you knew that Prince Yu was planning a rebellion?"

"Yes."

"What is the emperor like now?"

"It has collapsed."

"Why don't you send a message to your brother?"

"The eldest son said that it is not necessary. The second son can only be contacted if he is in danger."

“……” Yang Zhao was speechless.

"When did my brother place you in the palace?"

"I entered the palace two years ago. Others don't know much about it, but there were already seniors when I entered the palace."

“……” Yang Zhao had nothing to say.

"Got it. How do you usually keep in touch?"

“Almost no contact.”

"How do you recognize your own people?"

"This." The jailer raised his wrist. There was a small black mole under his wrist. If you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see it at all.

"Before entering the palace, almost all people sent by the eldest son will have a mole on them to verify their authenticity." The jailer put down his hand and motioned Yang Zhao to follow. "When the second son leaves, someone will come to pick you up. Whether it's leaving the palace or what the second son wants to do, we will follow your arrangements."

The jailer led Yang Zhao out of the door. Along the way, when some jailers passed by, they either pretended not to see them or nodded. From this, it can be seen that the people planted by Yang Liu have infiltrated deeply.

As soon as Yang Zhao came out of prison, there was indeed a young palace maid waiting for him. He walked forward a few steps and was about to ask something, but was interrupted by her.

"Second Young Master, do you want to leave the palace now or force your father to abdicate?" The little palace maid had an expressionless calmness on her pretty face, and the words she said were not like those of an ordinary little palace maid at all.

It would be better to say that he was taking the throne back from traitors rather than forcing the emperor to abdicate.

After listening to this, Yang Zhao fell silent.

It is definitely not possible that Yang Liu made these backup plans just to leave him a way out.

"You guys take control of the palace first and wait for me to come back." Yang Zhao still chose to go back and ask Yang Liu what he planned to do.

The little palace maid nodded and said nothing more, leading Yang Zhao all the way to the palace gate. Most people turned a blind eye to it, while a few were stopped by people around them to avoid trouble.

After leaving the palace, Yang Zhao rode back to Yang Mansion at full speed, only to find that Yang Mansion was deserted. Liu Ruying and Lingzhi were gathered together, pacing anxiously. When they saw that it was Yang Zhao instead of Yang Liu who came, a look of disappointment flashed across their faces, and then they were filled with worry.

"Where's my brother?"

When Yang Zhao saw the reaction of the two, he knew something happened in the Yang Mansion. He was about to rush into the house but Liu Ruying stopped him and stuffed a letter into his hand. Yang Zhao opened it and couldn't help but clench the letter tightly, making a hole in it. He turned around and was about to go to the Heartbreak Cliff. Lingzhi quickly stopped Yang Zhao and frowned. "Second Master, the eldest master said that everything should be arranged according to his plan. He has his own plan."

Yang Zhao was immediately furious when Lingzhi stopped him. After what happened to Yang Liu before, Yang Zhao couldn't remain calm when facing Yang Liu's matter again. He pinched his palms and gasped.

"Don't let the young master down." Lingzhi slowly took out the letter that Yang Liu handed to her before she went out. She didn't expect that she would use it so soon.

As Lingzhi spoke, she loosened the hand that was holding Yang Zhao back. Yang Zhao lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He sighed, took the letter and turned back to his room. After reading it carefully, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to be sent to the Yong'an Palace.

As soon as the letter was delivered, Prince Yong'an learned about the palace coup and was extremely anxious. He did not like the disputes in the court and only wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife and children. A letter from Yang Zhao pushed him onto a path he had never imagined.

"I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, I would still have to sit in that position." Huangfu Ce's eyes were blank. He had once rejected his best friend's strong recommendation, which led to the execution of his best friend's family. Now, it was his best friend's son who pushed him to the position. He couldn't make the wrong choice again.

At this time, Yang Liu was riding a horse at full speed and galloping over.

The entire cliff was covered with white snow. The plainclothes soldiers holding lanterns and the two people, one sitting and one standing, on the edge were particularly conspicuous.

"Whoa--" Yang Liu pulled the reins to stop, and got off the horse.

"Lin Fan, let Ling'er go, I'm coming." Yang Liu walked towards Lin Fan step by step and stood ten steps away. On both sides were plainclothes officers and soldiers who made way for him and looked at the newcomer silently.

"Hahaha, Yang Yuzhou, you really dare to come. I respect you as a man, a real man!" Lin Fan looked at Yang Liu approaching, laughing so hard that he fell backwards, and by the way, he stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.

"..." Yang Liu was speechless, but glanced at Huangfu Ling out of the corner of her eye.

Huangfu Ling is now awake, but his whole body is tied up, he is kneeling on the ground, and a piece of sackcloth is stuffed in his mouth.

Huangfu Ling struggled to open her eyes with blurry eyes. When she saw who was coming, she shook her head wildly in despair. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and the wind blew, making her feel cold and painful.

Among this group of people, Yang Liu looked thin and desolate, as if she would fall down if the wind blew. Her lips were bloodless and her face was pale. Her brows, hair and body were all covered with snow that had fallen on her as she ran all the way here. But she still stood there resolutely like a pine or cypress.

"It's okay, Ling'er... I'll take you home..." Seeing that Huangfu Ling was in good condition, Yang Liu immediately felt relieved and gently coaxed him.

"Go home? Hahahaha!! Do you think you can go back?" Lin Fan looked like he heard some big joke. He did not do this to watch these two people fall in love and go home hand in hand.

"Lin Fan, what exactly are you going to do?" Yang Liu automatically ignored Lin Fan's words and asked in a flat tone.

"I want you to die!" Seeing Yang Liu so calm, Lin Fan's anger suddenly exploded and he yelled.

After Lin Fan vented his anger, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said with a grim smile, "But I can give you a chance to live."

"Oh?" Yang Liu didn't believe that Lin Fan could say anything good, and she wondered if it was another way of torturing her.
