Zhang was completely unaware that Ouyang Miaoling had secretly sent people to protect her.

Fortunately, it was because Ouyang Miaoling had thought carefully beforehand and arranged for people to follow and protect secretly that a disaster was avoided.

When Zhang was on her way back to the Duke's Mansion from the Imperial Palace, passing through a relatively quiet street, the shadow guards sent by the Queen showed up halfway and tried to intercept her as expected.

However, all of this was quietly resolved by the people sent by Gu Ying. In the end, Zhang successfully returned to the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Zhang entered the Duke's Mansion, she immediately went to pay a visit to the Duke of Lu and reported to him truthfully what had happened that day.

She was very nervous and waited for the Duke to scold her, but to her surprise, the Duke not only did not blame her, but strongly supported her and said that she did the right thing.

The Duke of Lu emphasized that family members should support and help each other. This spirit of unity and mutual assistance made Zhang feel very gratified.

After hearing the Duke's statement, Zhang finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her stomach all the way.

In the Regent's Palace, Gu Ying was listening to his subordinates' reports. After listening, he signaled his subordinates to leave. Then he hurried to Fengqi Courtyard and reported to Ouyang Miaoling what Zhang encountered on the way back.

After listening to this, she signaled Gu Ying to continue sending people to secretly protect the Duke's Mansion until the Regent returned.

The three-day return banquet was over. Ouyang Li had lived in the Regent's Palace for three days and it was time for him to go back to the Prince's Palace.

Three days later, early in the morning, Jun Rui arrived at the Regent's Palace early, waiting to take Ouyang Li back.

Even though Ouyang Miaoling was extremely reluctant, in the end she could only watch her daughter and son-in-law leave the palace gate.

After returning to the palace, Ouyang Miaoling always felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something important. She felt extremely lonely and isolated, and this feeling was unbearable for her.

Nangong Mingxuan is not around, Ouyang Li is getting married, and Ouyang Yi is missing, all of which make her extremely worried.

She didn't know how to find Ouyang Yi, nor did she know where to start. She felt powerless and unable to change the current situation, which made her feel even more depressed.

She was alone in the mansion with nothing to do, and suddenly remembered that day when she poisoned Fan Yao.

Not knowing if Fan Yao had been up to any tricks recently, she decided to sneak into Fan's house again at night to check the situation.

This idea made her a little excited, hoping to find some clues or discover some new situations.

At the same time, Ouyang Yi has recovered a lot after a period of recovery.

That evening, he had nothing to do, so he wanted to relax in the yard.

He dismissed the servant who was serving him, stood up alone, and walked slowly into the courtyard.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help but think of his relatives in the mansion. He missed his injured sister, his father who had been traveling outside, and his mother who was working hard in the mansion. He knew they must be worried about him, and he missed them as well.

Just as Ouyang Yi's thoughts were drifting, suddenly a black shadow flashed before his eyes at an extremely fast speed, like a ghost.

Ouyang Yi was shocked and immediately realized that the situation was not good. He quickly hid himself and hid in a corner where the man in black could not notice him.

I saw that the black shadow was a mysterious figure wearing a black invisibility cloak, with a slender figure and quick movements.

He landed lightly in the middle of the yard and looked around carefully, as if observing whether anyone around him noticed his presence. Fortunately, Ouyang Yi reacted quickly, otherwise he would probably have been discovered by the man in black.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the man in black began to fly skillfully to another part of the yard. Ouyang Yi walked out of his hiding place, his eyes fixed on the direction the man in black left, but he could only see his back gradually moving away.

Suddenly, Ouyang Yi seemed to remember something important, and a trace of shock and nervousness flashed in his eyes. "Oh no..."

He said to himself, "Isn't the direction that man is heading towards Miss Yueyao's yard?" He had an ominous premonition in his heart, worried that the man in black would do something bad to Yueyao.

Ouyang Yi did not hesitate to raise his spirits, no longer caring about anything else, and flew in the direction where the man in black left. He was extremely anxious, hoping to get to Yue Yao in time to protect her from any danger.

When he flew to Yue Yao's yard, there was no trace of the man in black.

He walked towards the place where the candle was lit in the room. He wanted to make sure whether Yueyao was safe.

As he slowly approached the room, the two figures reflected in the window immediately made Ouyang Yi alert.

He knew very well that if the man in black took advantage of the situation and sneaked into the room to take Miss Yueyao hostage, then his reckless intrusion would only be of no help.

So he raised his head and looked around, wondering if there was any other possible solution.

There seemed to be no other way except to jump onto the roof, take a peek inside the house, and then make a decision. So, without any hesitation, he quickly jumped onto the roof.

With light movements he lifted a tile from the roof and peered into the room with full concentration.

He hopes to obtain more useful information so that he can better deal with the current situation.

When he gently lifted the tile, he saw Yueyao and the man in black standing in the room. However, to his surprise, the man in black did not hold Princess Yueyao hostage as he expected, but knelt in front of her, as if reporting some important information to her.

He lowered his body, trying to hear the conversation of the people in the room.

He only heard a very faint voice slowly coming into his ears: "Princess, this time His Majesty the Emperor specially sent his subordinates here because there is an extremely important matter that needs to be handled by you personally!"

The man in black bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and spoke in a very respectful manner.

"Oh? What is the matter so urgent that there is not even time to send a message, and that requires the commander to come here in person?" Yue Yao had a puzzled look on her face and looked down at the person in front of her with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her tone.

The man in black took a deep breath and continued, "Princess, the emperor has ordered you to temporarily put down your surveillance on the Regent's Palace, and ordered you to go to the palace in person to have a secret negotiation with their queen. As for the specific content of the talks, the emperor has written a letter in person and asked his subordinates to deliver it to you..." After saying that, the man in black carefully stretched out his hands and respectfully handed a letter to Yue Yao.

When Ouyang Yi heard this, he was shocked. It turned out that Miss Yueyao's identity was a disguise. She might be a spy sent by another country to Northern Qi, mainly to deal with their Regent's Palace. Now she wanted to collude with the Queen and do some shameful things. This made Ouyang Yi unable to accept it for a while.
