The Ministry of Rites worked for two days and two nights to make the new dragon robe.

At this moment, it was brought over for the second prince to try on.

The guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the guard sent to hunt down the former crown prince has returned."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard rolled in in a panic.

"Why are you alone? Where is the captain of the guard?"

The second prince was wearing a new dragon robe and was in a happy mood.

"Your Majesty, all our people were killed by the prince's men!"

The second prince stood still and said, "There are only a dozen people around the crown prince, and you have nearly a hundred people. Were they all killed?"

The second prince's tone was filled with murderous intent.

The guard lay on the ground, trembling.

"The enemy led us to a swamp, and we didn't notice it, so we lost a lot of people and horses."

"Later, we finally got out of the swamp, but we were surrounded by the enemy again, and all of us were shot dead."

"Everyone was shot dead. How could you come back alive?"

The guard kowtowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am alive because of the protection of the captain of the guards."

"The captain of the guards heard the other party say that the prince was in a hurry to return to his fiefdom."

"He asked his subordinates to bring back the news no matter what."

After the guard finished speaking, he fell to the ground, not even daring to beg for mercy.

The second prince looked at the guard suspiciously and said, "Go down and rest."

The guard was overjoyed. He thought the emperor would order his head to be chopped off.

"I thank the emperor very much. Long live the emperor!"

The second prince looked at the guards who were leaving and waved his hand. A secret guard appeared in front of him.

"Keep an eye on him."

The second prince suspected that this guard was the prince's spy.

Otherwise, how come everyone died and he was the only one who came back alive?

He will wait until he finds out the truth before making a decision.

Now, he still needs these people to help him build his empire.

"Somebody come!"

A guard walked in from outside the door, "I'm here!"

"Go find General Weiwu and ask him to take a hundred soldiers and rush to the dock immediately. Make sure to kill the prince and take back the imperial seal!"

"Yes!" The guard turned and walked out.

The second prince looked down at the dragon robe on his body and laughed out loud twice.

Xiao Minxuan, now, let me see how you can fly out of my palm!

Shen Yunjin was woken up just as the sky was getting light.

The prince and his entourage were already fully equipped and ready to leave for the dock.

Shen Yunjin and Linglong, who was holding the child, were pushed into the carriage of the Crown Princess and the eldest prince.

The Crown Princess smiled at Shen Yunjin, and the eldest prince sat closely next to her.

He had grown up and understood that now, they were on the run.

He also learned some things from the servants' mumblings.

It turned out that his father was not the biological son of the emperor.

In order to consolidate her position, the Empress Dowager adopted my father from outside the palace.

So, he was not a prince, but just an ordinary citizen.

He did not feel too disappointed about the change of identity. On the contrary, he felt relieved.

Now that he is no longer a prince, he doesn't have to learn those boring things every day.

There is no need to practice martial arts, even if you get bruises all over your body, and you can't cry.

Now that he was no longer a prince, he could enjoy the company of his mother like other children.

I no longer have to sleep alone in a dark and cold palace.

So he was secretly happy.

But last night, his mother told him a lot of things.

He couldn't understand, since they were ordinary people, why did his second uncle still keep picking on them?

What confused him the most was that his mother actually asked him to get closer to the King of Qi's concubine!

Why does he want to be close to someone else's mother? He has a mother himself.

He subconsciously realized that something was wrong with his mother.

She seemed to be prepared to die, so she allowed herself to get close to Concubine Shen.

Why did my mother want to die? Was it because of Concubine Shen?

Ever since Shen Yunjin got on the car, she felt the eldest prince's unfriendly gaze.

She didn't know why the eldest prince was hostile to her.

However, she understood that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess could not escape from their fiefdom.

The second prince was a sinister and treacherous person who would never let go of any grudge.

He finally got the chance and he would definitely not let the prince go back easily.

What's more, the second prince is now in charge of the three armies and is about to ascend the throne.

"My lady, the prince is behind us."

Linglong tugged at Shen Yunjin's clothes.

Shen Yunjin lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Xiao Minshen riding on a horse with his back straight, following from a distance behind the team.

Xiao Minshen felt Shen Yunjin's gaze and he gave her a soothing smile.

At this time, the guard next to him raised a knife and said, "Put down the curtain!"

Linglong was afraid that the guards would hurt Shen Yunjin, so she quickly lowered the curtain.

"It seems that the prince should be escorting the prince to the dock."

Linglong held the child, leaned close to Shen Yunjin's ear and whispered.

Shen Yunjin thought about it for a moment and she understood.

The prince must have used her and the child's lives as an excuse to force Xiao Minshen to escort them away safely.

She lowered her head and began to wonder how she could escape the prince's surveillance.

"When they get to the dock, find a free moment, hold the child, and go to the prince."

While changing the baby's diaper, Shen Yunjin whispered instructions to Linglong.

"Then what will you do, Your Majesty?" Linglong widened her eyes.

"If we can get as many people as possible, then we can help him escape. This way, His Majesty won't have to worry about what's ahead and what's behind."

This is the result of Shen Yunjin's thinking.

Linglong is young and runs fast with the child in her arms.

In addition, she also carried a crossbow, so if she encountered intercepting guards, she could save herself.

But she had just given birth and her body had not fully recovered yet.

Even if she runs away alone, she won't be able to get far and will be caught.

Soon, the pier could be seen in the distance.

The prince's men had contacted the ship early in the morning.

The carriage stopped at the dock, and dozens of guards came up and surrounded the prince.

Shen Yunjin held Linglong's hand and got off the carriage.

The Crown Princess held her son's hand and followed him down.

She walked to Shen Yunjin's side, "Quick, you are holding us hostage!"

The eldest prince heard it and looked at his mother in surprise.

Shen Yunjin and Linglong were also stunned for a moment.

Linglong immediately grabbed the eldest prince and pointed the crossbow in her hand at his head.

Shen Yunjin took off the hairpin on her head and placed it against the Crown Princess' neck.

The prince and his entourage, who were walking in front, turned around when they heard the noise.

"Crown Prince, the Crown Princess and the First Prince are in our hands, please let us go."

Shen Yunjin said while trying to suppress his trembling.

The guards nearby drew their swords and surrounded Shen Yunjin and Linglong.

Xiao Minshen, who was at the end of the team, kicked his horse and rushed forward.

The prince looked at the princess and his son suspiciously.

Finally, he looked at Shen Yunjin. He really underestimated this woman. She was so courageous!
