After all the people were taken away and interrogated one by one, Yuan Ce and Yan Mingjue were the only ones left in the hall.

Looking at the cold Yan Mingjue, Yuan Ce felt a little scared for no reason.

Yuan Ce looked a little unhappy when he realized that he, a prince, was actually afraid of a dog.

At this time, Yan Mingjue knelt down and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I have to go back to the capital."

Yuan Ce frowned: "What did you say?"

They came out here on the emperor's orders, so how could they go back before the task was completed?

"I will be back soon."

Yan Mingjue spoke.

Yuan Ce frowned:

"What happened?"

Yan Mingjue pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yuan Ce was a little annoyed: "Now, we are in the same boat. You have helped me several times. Do you still think I will harm you?"

Yan Mingjue heard this and then said:

"My wife is in trouble."

Yuan Ce was stunned, and then felt a little unbelievable.

He knew that Yan Mingjue cared about Su Qingwan. After all, a beauty like Su Qingwan would be of concern to him as well.

He also knew about the rumors in the capital, but he found them ridiculous.

Yan Mingjue had a bad reputation before, but after he became known for doting on his wife, his reputation in the capital improved a lot, especially the ladies in the harem were not so afraid of him anymore.

After all, no matter how cruel a man is, if he is good to his wife, this can be considered an advantage.

He thought Yan Mingjue was just pretending and actually didn't think too highly of Su Qingwan.

However, at this moment, he realized that he was wrong.

Just because Su Qingwan was in trouble, he actually went back at the risk of being beheaded. He was really crazy.

He always thought that Yan Mingjue was the same kind of person as himself.

Now it seems that it is not.

"Do you really want to go back?"

He couldn't help asking again:

"You have to know that this is most likely a trap."

"Just to deal with you."

Otherwise, why would Su Qingwan get into trouble at this time?

"I know!"

Yan Mingjue spoke.

As early as the first time he received the news that Su Qingwan was looking for Qingmu, he felt something was wrong.

At that time, he had no time to be jealous. He knew Su Qingwan's character. He would not look for Qingmu unless it was absolutely necessary.

Now that he knew what Su Qingwan had done in the palace, he could no longer sit still.

Jingzhe didn't know what had happened, he only told him that his wife asked him to find Qingmu as soon as possible.

From beginning to end, Su Qingwan did not send him any news.

But he couldn't sit still.

He also knew that his trip back was extremely risky. If he was caught by someone with ulterior motives, all his efforts over the years would be wasted.

He originally thought that nothing could be more important than his rise to a high position.

But now, he knew.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yuan Ce took a deep breath and said, "You are really crazy!"

"Never mind. You saved my life, so I will help you this time."

"Your wife also helped me save my son."

"I can only keep it a secret for seven days at most. If you still don't come back after seven days, don't blame me!"

It would take two days to get from here to the capital by riding at full speed, and it was unknown whether he would make it in time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yan Mingjue opened his mouth to thank him:

"After I leave, all the people from the Eagle House will stay to protect Your Highness, so Your Highness does not need to worry."

"You're not taking anyone with you?"

The one who answered him was Yan Mingjue standing up and leaving.

Yuan Ce looked at it for a long time, then slowly said:

"It turns out that 'evil ghosts' also have weaknesses!"
