Ye Wu couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart: "Why did I come back so hastily? It would have been great if I had known more about Er Yue's personality at that time!"

However, seeing the guard's reluctant look, Ye Wu guessed that his relationship with Eryue was probably not very good.

Thinking back to the tone of voice Eryue used when speaking to He Ji yesterday, no matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like someone who could have a calm conversation with others.

On the other hand, the guard in front of him, although obviously dissatisfied with Er Yue, still insisted on staying here to express his gratitude. From this point of view, his temper and upbringing seemed to be quite good.

It's a pity that such a talent becomes an unknown guard.

However, there was still one question that puzzled Ye Wu.

Er Yue is Prince Yu's secret guard. According to common sense, he should not show up in front of everyone. But why did this guard know Er Yue's name?

Ye Wu's eyes rolled and an idea came to his mind.

He ignored the guard, walked past him and left.

The next morning, after confirming that his disguise was flawless, he went to Xuan Yemin's bedroom to ask for a meeting.

At this time, Xuan Yemin looked even more haggard, with fatigue and sorrow on his face.

His eyes were dull, his beard was untidy, his hair was messy, and his clothes were wrinkled. He had completely lost the elegance and dignity of the royal prince of the past.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Er Yue coming early in the morning, Xuan Yemin guessed that he might have brought some important news.

Er Yue bowed to Xuan Yemin and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I thought about it all night last night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was very strange."

Then, Er Yue came closer to Xuan Yemin and said in a low voice: "Perhaps there is a traitor in our palace!"

Hearing these words, Ye Wu keenly noticed that Xuan Yemin's breathing became heavy, as if he was greatly shaken in his heart.

Ye Wu sneered in his heart and thought to himself that it was indeed so.

Ye Wu’s purpose was actually very simple. He just wanted to arrange his people into the prince’s palace when Prince Yu was in a restless mood.

As long as a new face joins, it will be possible to establish a good relationship with the lower-level people in the palace.

After all, there are some things that Prince Yu, as the master, may not understand, but the people working under him know very well.

In fact, Xuan Yemin had thought about February's statement before, but he rejected the idea as soon as it came to his mind.

Because he believed that there could be no traitors around him, he trusted his own judgment and control, and felt that he could control the situation.

However, when the issue was brought up again, Xuan Yemin realized that he could no longer ignore it.

He rubbed his aching forehead, feeling tired, but had to face reality.

After a long silence, he asked, "Any news in January?"

"February" shook his head and replied in a heavy tone: "Not yet."

Xuan Yemin frowned, feeling annoyed.

He had been expecting to get some clues from January, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

He couldn't help but begin to doubt whether January was really loyal to him.

Thinking back to what happened that day, Xuan Yemin's doubts grew.

He remembered that he had just issued a final ultimatum to January, and then he discovered that He Yuehuan and Wang Qi had drugged him.

Then, he was knocked unconscious by a mysterious man, and He Yuehuan and Wang Qi disappeared without a trace.

Now, January has also lost contact, and this series of events makes him doubt January's loyalty.

He clenched his fists, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He decided not to wait any longer and to take the initiative.

He gave an order to Er Yue in front of him: "Send a message to her and ask her to come back."

He needed to find out where January really stood, and if she really had betrayed him, then he would never let her off that easily.

Although the actual situation was somewhat different from what Ye Wu had expected, he was not discouraged and firmly believed that there would always be a chance to achieve his goal. So he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes."

However, for the whole day afterwards, Ye Wu seemed to have gone out in a hurry, but in fact did not take any action.

He just walked around outside and came back, and from then on he stayed quietly in the room.

It was not until nightfall and after dinner that he hurried out.

After wandering outside for a whole hour, Ye Wu finally returned to the palace and went to pay a visit to Prince Yu.

"Your Majesty, I have delivered the message, but have not received any response yet."

"February" reported to Prince Yu with a serious face.

Prince Yu frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Ye Wu continued, "I personally went to the Yu Mansion to check and asked the servants there. They told me that Miss Yuehua, who was with the eldest lady, redeemed herself and left the day before yesterday, and now her whereabouts are unknown."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu’s face turned even darker.

Prince Yu naturally knew the name Yuehua, as it was a name that Yi Yue had once used.

The day before happened to be the day when He Yuehuan and Wang Qi disappeared.

This series of clues almost made it clear to Prince Yu that January was a traitor, forcing him to believe it.

Xuan Yemin slammed the table again and cursed: "Great! You hid it very well. I didn't even notice it!"

"February" looked at Xuan Yemin cautiously and comforted him softly, "Your Highness, there is still a chance now. We can't lose our composure because of January."

After hearing this, Xuan Yemin actually calmed down.

However, soon after, he heard a piece of news that made him frown.

I saw "Fei Yue" slowly kneeling on the ground and said respectfully: "It's just that Your Majesty, when I assassinated He Ji and Wang Tao before, several brothers were injured. I may not be able to carry out the tasks assigned by Your Majesty during this period."

Xuan Yemin frowned and said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

"February" was about to explain but was interrupted by Xuan Yemin.

Xuan Yemin waved his hands irritably and said impatiently: "Forget it, forget it. The situation is tense right now. Where can I find someone else?"

"February" opened his mouth, but stopped himself from speaking.

But then he seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, I know a powerful person who can be used by Your Majesty."

Xuan Yemin turned to look at Ye Wu, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Fei Yue" continued, "Your Majesty, this time I and my brothers went to deal with He Ji and Wang Tao. This man was the one I met on the way back. He is a martial arts expert."

"I have tested his kung fu and found him to be on par with mine. If you can recruit him, he will definitely be a great help to His Majesty."
