The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

next day

Ouyang Miaoling and Guimei brought a group of their men to the city gate in advance to ambush.

When the time came, a prison van slowly approached, and inside the van was Ouyang Li.

When the prison van approached, Guimei sent out his men as planned to attract the attention of some of the guards.

Ouyang Miaoling took the opportunity to fly out, quickly dealt with the remaining guards, split the prison car, and rescued Ouyang Li.

However, before they could escape, they were surrounded by more soldiers.

At the critical moment, Mo Ran arrived and fought alongside them.

"Lier, are you okay?" Mo Ran asked with concern.

"Uncle Mo Ran, Li'er is fine."

"That's good," he said and threw the sword in his hand to Ouyang Li.

"Today we will fight the enemy together and break out of the encirclement together," Mo Ran encouraged Ouyang Li.

"it is good"

The guards rushed towards them like a tide.

Ouyang Miaoling and Yu Moran protected Ouyang Li side by side.

The three of them stood back to back and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.

Ouyang Li held a long sword, his posture was agile, and his sword moves were sharp;

Ouyang Miaoling wielded her double whips, attacking the surrounding enemies like a whirlwind;

Mo Ran mainly used palm techniques, which were majestic and powerful, and each palm contained enormous power.

However, due to the large number of guards, they gradually felt overwhelmed.

At this moment, Mo Ran roared and used his ultimate move, instantly repelling a large number of enemies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ouyang Miaoling and Ouyang Li fought back, killing the enemies so badly that blood flowed like a river.

Finally, they successfully broke through the encirclement and fled out of the city.

But the pursuers behind him were still hot on his trail. Guimei and others blocked the guards and engaged in a fierce fight with many of them, giving Ouyang Miaoling a chance to escape.

In the end, the ghost was defeated and surrounded by guards, and he voluntarily surrendered.

The chief guard stepped forward and tore off the cloth covering the ghost's face.

"Why is it you, the ghost guard?"

The chief guard recognized Guimei because they both served in the Regent's Palace.

"I have nothing to say. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."

"Come here, take them away and hand them over to the prince for disposal."

Regent's House

After several days of care from Nangong Mingxuan, Ouyang Yi finally woke up today.

"Daddy...why are you here?" Ouyang Yi opened his eyes and saw Nangong Mingxuan's face the first thing he saw.

"Yier, you finally woke up?"

"Um...Daddy." Ouyang Yi was about to struggle to sit up when he was stopped by Nangong Mingxuan.

"Child, you are still very weak, so don't get up. Just tell your father if you have anything to say."

Just as the father and son were greeting each other, Gu Ying's voice was heard outside the door.

"Master, someone intercepted the execution ground today, and the criminal who assassinated the prince was rescued."

"Come in and talk"

Bone Shadow heard the order and pushed the door open.

"You just said that the assassin who assassinated Yi'er was going to be executed today, and the assassin was rescued?"

"Yes... that's what the people below reported."

"Do you know who intercepted it?"

"Reply...Reply...Master"

"What's the matter that requires you to be so hesitant?"

"My Lord, the person who intercepted the prison van has been caught. Yes... yes..."

"What is it?" Nangong Mingxuan asked impatiently.

"Did the Ghost Commander lead his men to intercept them?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's the ghost leader," the bone shadow repeated.

"Impossible," Ouyang Yi, who had just woken up and was lying on the bed, denied it directly.

"Sir, I didn't believe the news when I first heard it, but I saw the ghost with my own eyes, and he has admitted the fact."

"Why would he do this? He is the one my mother left for me. I don't believe it. Bring him here. I want to ask him in person."

"Yes"

Just when Gu Ying was about to go out to pass the message, he was stopped by Ouyang Yi.

"Uncle Ying, you said that we were going to execute the assassin today?"

"Yes"

"I remember that all the assassins were killed before I fainted. How could there be any living assassins?"

"In reply to the prince, I heard that it was a little girl who appeared that day, and she was in cahoots with those assassins."

"Impossible, that little heroine clearly came to save me, how could she be in cahoots with the assassin?"

"I don't know about that. This is the result given by the investigating officer."

"You have detained that girl?"

"Not only did they detain her, they also tortured the girl. She admitted that she had teamed up with the assassin to kill you."

"I don't believe it. I don't believe a word of it. Tell someone to call Uncle Mei over here. I want to ask him in person."

"Yes"

This time the bone shadow left.

"Father, what do you think about this matter?"

Nangong Mingxuan looked out the window with deep eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The ghost has followed your mother for many years and is loyal and will never betray her easily. There must be something hidden."

Ouyang Yi asked anxiously: "What should we do now?"

Nangong Mingxuan comforted her, "Don't worry, Yi'er. When the ghost comes, we will know the truth."

Soon, the ghost was brought into the room.

He looked haggard and his body was covered with scars.

Ouyang Yi looked at Gui Mei with distress and asked, "Uncle Mei, what happened? Why did you rob the prison van?"

The ghost knelt down with a plop and kowtowed, saying, "I am guilty of betraying the prince and the crown prince. Please punish me, prince and the crown prince."

Nangong Mingxuan helped Gui Mei up and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth first, and I will make the decision later."

A trace of determination flashed in the ghost's eyes, and he said: "There was indeed a woman who appeared with the assassin that day, but she was not an accomplice of the assassin. She is the daughter of an old friend. I did something wrong because of the old friend's request. Please punish me, my lord."

Ouyang Yi's eyes widened: "Is that true? Then where is she now?"

The ghost lowered his head and remained silent, as if he had something to hide.

Nangong Mingxuan saw this and understood a little more. He said, "No matter what, we need to find that woman first, and everything will come out naturally."

"No... Please let them live, my lord. Gui Mei is willing to bear all the consequences."

"They...?...Ghost, are you saying that you weren't the only one who led people to rescue the girl? She had accomplices?"

Guimei no longer answered any questions from Nangong Mingxuan, as he was afraid that the prince would catch him.

"Ghost, tell me the truth, what kind of old friend would make you help him without caring about anything?"

The ghost lowered his head, knelt down in shame and kowtowed to apologize, refusing to answer any questions.

"Ghost, don't think that if you don't speak, I can't do anything to you,"

"Come here, take the ghost to the dungeon and wait for your punishment."

"Father, please let Uncle Mei go. He didn't do anything wrong. The little girl came to save the child. I think there must be some misunderstanding here."

"Yier, that's why I decided not to send him to the government, but to put him in the dungeon. As long as he tells me the identity of the girl, I will let him go."

"Uncle Mei, just tell father. I have already explained the situation to father. Father will not send anyone to hunt down the girl. Father just wants to know the girl's identity."

"A gentleman's promise is as good as gold. Since I have already promised, there is absolutely no reason for me to go back on my word. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
