At the same time, the butler set out from the Prince's Mansion and headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, which was heavily guarded, the butler showed his token, and the guards carefully checked it before letting him pass.

After entering the palace, the butler walked quickly towards the East Palace along the familiar road.

The architecture of the imperial palace is magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, demonstrating the majesty of the royal family everywhere.

The red lanterns on the corridor swayed gently in the wind, making faint sounds.

Under the eaves of the palace, there are exquisite carvings that look lifelike.

After walking through the long corridor and passing through several palaces, we finally arrived at the East Palace.

Xiao Shunzi, who was beside the prince, saw the housekeeper and hurriedly said, "Godfather, why did you enter the palace? Is there anything important?"

The housekeeper looked solemn and lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Shunzi, there is a girl outside the mansion, holding the jade pendant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asking to see him. I think this matter is very serious, and I must report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately."

Xiao Shunzi frowned and said, "Jade pendant? But is it the girl that His Highness asked about?"

The butler said, "That's right! That's why I came to see His Highness."

Xiao Shunzi quickly responded: "Godfather, let's go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm sure His Royal Highness will be very happy."

As he spoke, Xiao Shunzi brought the butler to the door of the study in the East Palace.

Xiao Shunzi knocked on the door gently and said softly, "Your Highness, godfather is looking for you."

A deep and magnetic voice came from inside: "Come in."

After getting permission, Xiao Shunzi pushed open the door and walked in with the housekeeper.

Jun Moyuan was seen sitting in front of the desk, looking intently at the memorial in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

Xiao Shunzi walked up to Jun Moyuan and said softly, "Your Highness, Godfather is looking for you."

When Jun Moyuan heard Xiao Shunzi's words, he slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on the housekeeper standing beside him.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said: "Amber, what is the matter with entering the palace at this time?"

Steward An said respectfully, "Your Highness, a girl is here to see you with your jade pendant."

When Jun Moyuan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "An Bo, are you holding the Longyuan Pendant?"

Butler An nodded and said, "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moyuan immediately stood up, with an anxious look on his face, and said to Butler An: "Quick, An Bo, leave the palace now!"

After saying that, he strode out the door with big strides, followed by Butler An and Xiao Shunzi.

Along the way, Jun Moyuan was very nervous. He didn't know why Lu Tingyan came to see him this time.

After leaving the palace, Jun Moyuan boarded the carriage and urged impatiently, "Hurry up, don't delay."

The carriage sped away, and Jun Moyuan's heart became more and more nervous as the wheels turned.

The carriage sped through the bustling streets of the capital like the wind. The friction between the wheels and the ground and the tapping of the horses' hooves intertwined to form a unique rhythm.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Jun Moyuan jumped off the carriage with a nimble and agile movement, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he walked quickly into the mansion and went straight to the main hall.

After entering the main hall, Jun Moyuan saw Lu Tingyan at a glance.

At this moment, Lu Tingyan was eating snacks brought by the servants in the hall.

When she saw Jun Moyuan coming in, her eyes instantly became wet, tears welled up in her eyes, and she called out with a trembling voice: "Brother Yuan."

Jun Moyuan walked quickly to her and asked softly, "Yan'er, what happened?" His tone was full of concern and his eyes revealed his worry for her.
