Ouyang Miaoling reacted quickly and dodged the man's attack.

Leng Ze reacted even quicker. He rushed out in one step and knocked the man flying. He hit the wall and fell heavily to the ground. He spit out blood and fainted.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Wang Qi also hurried forward and asked Ouyang Miaoling.

"I'm fine,"

"Come here, tie this man up."

Wang Qi ordered the guards.

The two guards received the order and stepped forward, immediately tying up the man on the ground.

Then they dragged him to the place of torture, tied him directly to a wooden stake, and poured cold water on him to wake him up.

Wang Qi picked up the whip he used for torture and hit the man hard.

The man who was tied up didn't make any sound.

Wang Qi was tired of beating her, so he stopped what he was doing and pressed her again, "Tell me, who sent you to assassinate the camera princess?"

The man kept his head down and said nothing, as if he didn't hear someone asking him a question.

When Wang Qi was swinging the whip in his hand to continue beating the man, Ouyang Miaoling, who was beside him, raised her hand to stop Wang Qi's action.

"General Wang, please stop for a moment and let me ask him a few questions."

Wang Qi also wisely put away the whip in his hand and made a please gesture with his hand.

The woman took out a pill from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Leng Ze who was standing beside her.

"Please, Commander Leng, feed this to him."

The tied man's body reacted when he heard that they were going to feed him pills. He used all his strength to raise his head and look at Leng Ze in front of him.

"What medicine are you going to give me?"

Leng Ze looked at the pill in his hand and sneered, "Take it and you'll know what kind of pill I gave you, right?"

"If you dare, I warn you, don't mess around."

It was obvious that the man's voice was a little nervous.

Leng Ze didn't waste any more time talking to the man. He simply pinched his chin with his hand and forced him to open his mouth. Then he raised his hand and the pill slid directly down his throat.

After a while, the drug seemed to have taken effect. Ouyang Miaoling walked over, lifted the man's chin, looked into his eyes and asked.

"I'll ask you again, who asked you to assassinate me?"

When the man saw that the person who came was asking him the same question, he disdained to answer and simply lowered his head.

But his mouth seemed to be out of control, and he blurted out: "It was the Second Prince who sent me to assassinate you."

"Second Prince?"

"Yes"

"How many of you are here?"

"We are the secret guards of the Second Prince's residence. There are two teams in total."

"One team has ten people, and two teams have twenty people." Leng Ze on the side quickly explained.

"Where are your people hiding?"

The man bit his lips so hard that blood instantly flowed from the corners of his lips. He endured the pain in his body and tried to fight the effect of the medicine.

"Don't struggle, it's useless. Just tell me, your will can't resist the effect of the medicine I developed."

As soon as Ouyang Miaoling finished speaking, she heard the man speak again.

Their whereabouts, assassination plans and contacts were all clearly known.

And the purpose of their coming is to join forces with the Great Prince Dayu to start a war on the border, and then both sides will get what they want.

They had never met the eldest prince Dayu, and it was the governor of Yongzhou who acted as a middleman between them.

It turned out that the governor of Yongzhou was a close confidant of the Second Prince and was the Second Prince's spy at the border.

The Second Prince wants to start a war at the border. What benefit does he want to gain?

Ouyang Miaoling guessed in her heart, but it was a pity that the man's identity was low and he didn't know too many secrets.

"General Wang, this matter is of great importance. This man is the key evidence. Don't let him die."

"Yes." Wang Qi also knew that the confession obtained by Ouyang Miaoling was of great significance and must be handled with caution.

"Princess, do you want to report this matter to the Regent?" Leng Ze asked from the side.

"Don't report it yet. Send someone to keep an eye on the Yongzhou governor. Once you get solid evidence, it won't be too late to report it to Nangong Mingxuan."

"If we report it now, we may not be able to convict the Second Prince based on the confession of that person who knows very little."

After listening to Ouyang Miaoling's words, Leng Ze and Wang Qi both felt that it made sense and nodded in agreement.

After the group came out of the prison, Wang Qi knew that the matter was of great importance. It was related to the Second Prince colluding with the enemy country and preparing to start a war. He did not dare to delay for a moment and stayed in the military camp to make offensive and defensive deployments.

Ouyang Miaoling left the prison accompanied by Leng Ze.

When they were almost at the general's mansion, the carriage stopped.

The coachman slowly stopped the carriage upon hearing the order.

"You guys go back first. I have somewhere else to go. I will go back by myself later. You don't need to pick me up."

After saying that, he jumped off the carriage and walked along the street to the door of the house he bought for his grandfather.

Leng Ze, who was hiding in the dark behind him, did not come out to dissuade him, but continued to hide in the dark to protect the safety of his princess.

Seeing Ouyang Miaoling enter a large mansion, Leng Ze leaped up and flew directly to the roof, following the footsteps of his princess and protecting her closely.

Ouyang Miaoling brought Siyu into the yard, and her grandmother hurried out to greet them.

"Ling'er, you're here. How are your injuries?"

"Don't worry, grandma. Ling'er's injuries are not serious anymore,"

"Look at you, kid. You still have injuries on your body. You should just take care of yourself. Why are you running back and forth? Your grandfather and I are both fine. You don't have to worry about us. Stop standing here. Let's go in and talk."

As he said this, he held Ouyang Miaoling's hands with both hands and pulled her towards the main hall.

"Grandma, is Grandpa still working in the quarry?"

"Yes, your grandfather was sent to do hard labor in a quarry. As long as he lived, he would do hard labor."

After saying this, tears of pity welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, grandma. I will make arrangements when I get back. First, transfer grandpa away from the quarry where he worked as a laborer. Then I will find a way to redress your grievances."

"Ling'er, forget it. Don't run back and forth for your grandfather's affairs. We have already accepted our fate. We are already satisfied that we can see our granddaughter in our lifetime."

"Grandma"

The woman looked at the old, wrinkled woman in front of her with a look of pity and heartache in her eyes.

"By the way, Grandmother, are you still working in the Governor's mansion?"

"Yes, I didn't go because there was something going on at home these two days. We moved and had to tidy up the yard, so I didn't go."

"Grandma, I have something to tell you. If we can get to the bottom of this matter, maybe we can make a contribution and redress the injustice done to the General's Mansion, which will give us a 10% chance of success."

"Oh... Ling'er, what is it? As long as grandma can help, grandma will do her best, even if it means death."

"Grandma, this is a bit dangerous, you need to be careful."

"Okay... I know, what are you talking about?"
