"But what I encountered were obviously not well-trained soldiers! Those people looked more like martial arts masters!" Mingzhe was also recalling the terrifying scene tonight!

"Have you ever fought?" Yi Lei asked.

"No! The Queen came to see me in prison, and then asked me to disguise myself as an accompanying guard and leave quietly. But before I left, I noticed something unusual, so I hid myself. As a result, I saw a group of men in black break into my cell, search around, and then leave!"

"You let them escape so easily?" Yi Lei screamed.

"Of course not... I have given that lone man..." Mingzhe made a grabbing gesture and continued, "I'll leave this man to you. Maybe he can help solve the case!"

"Well! Actually, we could have taken the case to court a few days ago, but I still want to track down the mastermind. If we don't find this person, I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful life in the future!" Yi Lei shook his head helplessly, not noticing the somewhat hurt expression of the emperor. After all, they are all his descendants, and he really doesn't want to see the tragedy of King Han happen again!

Besides, the relationship between them is not as close as that between the King of Han and his brothers. In the end, someone might even lose his life because of this...

"Yilei, stay here and keep Mingzhe company tonight! I will send someone to tell Prince Jin that you will not be returning home!" The emperor suddenly felt exhausted.

"Yes!" Mingzhe noticed the change in the emperor's mood, and hurriedly stood up properly, saluted and replied to the emperor! After all, he had served the emperor for so many years, and he knew the emperor as well as he knew himself! Sometimes he would hate this royal identity. If he was born in an ordinary family, he might be happier!

………………

In the early morning, the soft sunlight did not wake up the cousins ​​Mingzhe and Yilei. The two men, who had been talking all night, were now lying on an extra-large ivory bed in a very ungraceful manner. This was a bedroom in a side hall of the Changshou Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs on night duty all lowered their heads, not daring to raise their eyes, or even look directly at the two imperial grandchildren who did not have to abide by the palace rules and could spend the night in the palace at will.

"Why are you still sleeping?" A mother and daughter slowly walked into the dormitory, without any followers accompanying them.

"Empress, Princess!" The palace maids and eunuchs knelt in unison to pay their respects. Even though the Empress and Princess were both easy-going in nature, they had said that they didn't have to kneel down and salute all the time.

But the Queen Mother has ordered that the rules cannot be broken! Therefore, no one dares to break the rules!

"Everyone, get up! Where are those two boys?" The queen turned and asked the eunuch in front of her.

"In reply to the Queen, the two princes are resting." The little eunuch lowered his head and answered, not daring to look up at the princess' dazzlingly beautiful face.

"Mother, my two brothers are still sleeping. They must have been too tired last night. Let's come back later!" Lu Yupei was worried about Mingzhe who had been imprisoned in the prison for several days. If she had not accidentally heard the news that Mingzhe had been brought back to the palace and had been clamoring to see him, the queen would never let her know that Mingzhe had been quietly released from prison.

Being a considerate person, she really couldn't bear to wake up her two brothers, one of whom was imprisoned and the other had been running around saving people in recent days.

"I have something to ask, all of you leave!" The queen dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids and walked into the room. Lu Yupei had no choice but to follow her.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You two boys are still sleeping!" The queen slapped the two adult boys on the butt without any hesitation.

Yi Lei glanced at the mother and daughter in front of him with sleepy eyes, turned over and continued to sleep with his head covered.

Mingzhe ignored her when he saw that it was the queen and wanted to go back to sleep. But when he looked carefully, he found that there was also a princess, so he had to get up reluctantly. After all, the princess was still young and a girl, and as a brother, it was not good for him to be impolite in front of his sister. If the queen came alone, it would not matter. Although she was an elder, she had been hanging out with the two brothers since childhood, so she did not need to be treated as an elder.

"Brother Mingzhe, are you okay?" Lu Yupei looked at the two brothers who were sleeping in a messy posture with a smile and asked softly, covering the corners of her slightly raised mouth with her hands.

"Yeah, Yu Pei is here too!" Mingzhe got out of bed and straightened his wrinkled clothes. Last night he and Yi Lei chatted until dawn and slept in their clothes, which were wrinkled. He patted his clothes and frowned.

"Hey! That boy lying there, why don't you get up? Is this your attitude when you see the Queen?" The Queen simply raised her foot and kicked Yi Lei who was lying on the bed.

"Haha!" Lu Yupei thought her mother's kicking posture was quite funny, and the way Yi Lei continued to sleep curled up after being kicked was even funnier, so she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Do you act like a queen? How do you expect me to treat you, the queen?" Yi Lei answered vaguely, with no intention of getting up at all.

"You little bastard, I love you so much! Get up now!" After being kicked, Yi Lei curled up to the innermost part of the bed. The queen threw off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, stretched out her "claws", and grabbed Yi Lei's ears...

"What's wrong? It hurts so much!" Yi Lei was now fully awake. He shook off the queen's "claws", sat on the bed, shook his head, covered his ears and shouted, "I just fell asleep for less than two hours!"

"Don't you want to know why I took Mingzhe away before he was assassinated?" The queen said with a proud look on her face after getting out of bed and putting on her shoes again.

Mingzhe and Yilei looked at each other and asked in unison: "How did you know?"

"Hehe! Yilei boy, say something nice to your aunt and I will tell you the reason!" The queen was still keeping the secret.

Yi Lei was already rolling his eyes, thinking to himself, the worst that could happen is that he had planted some spies in advance and got the information, what's so great about that!

Mingzhe laughed dryly and said, "Uh, that... I'm a little hungry. Yu Pei, come with me to find something to eat!"

What a joke, asking him to say something nice to the queen? He would rather be kept in the dark than to know how she knew someone was going to assassinate him! Anyway, whatever the queen did was definitely beneficial to him!

"Okay, Brother Mingzhe, wait for me outside for a while. I'll ask someone to bring you some delicious food!" Lu Yupei followed Mingzhe and left in sync.

"I can't think of anything nice to say to you!" Yi Lei replied lazily.

"Hey! Boy! You are the person in charge of this case. You must understand the ins and outs of all events in order to solve the case! This information of mine will be helpful to you in solving the case!" The queen also wanted to use her information to attract Yi Lei, and wanted to take the opportunity to make Yi Lei bow to her.

In every previous confrontation, I was almost always at a disadvantage, hehe! This time I must make a comeback!
