At night, the stars were twinkling and the moonlight was silver. Jun Moyuan and Liang Yu set foot on the mountain path together. The mountain road was winding and the moonlight fell on them like water, outlining their slender silhouettes.

"Your Highness, I have noticed something strange in Fengxi Town recently." Liang Yu said in a low voice with a hint of alertness in his tone.

Jun Moyuan stopped and frowned, staring at the dark forest ahead, and asked, "What's the specific movement?"

Liang Yu came forward and replied softly, "Your Highness, according to the report from my men tonight, a lot of unfamiliar faces have come to the town recently. They all have special skills and behave strangely. I infer that these people are most likely the assassins sent by the Prime Minister."

Jun Moyuan's heart sank, his brows knitted, and he muttered to himself, "The Prime Minister acted so quickly. He must be eager to eliminate me so that Prince Yu can ascend to the throne."

The mountain wind whistled past, rustling the leaves. Jun Moyuan's eyes became sharper, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see through the hidden conspiracy. He knew the cruelty and danger of the palace struggle, and now he had to be doubly careful.

"Your Highness, it would be better for you to stay out of town recently!" Liang Yu reminded Jun Moyuan with a serious look.

Jun Moyuan nodded slightly to show that he understood, and replied softly: "I know, you continue to pay attention to their every move, if there is any abnormal situation, be sure to report to me immediately."

Before he finished speaking, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind them. Jun Moyuan and Liang Yu were instantly alert, and turned around quickly as if they were facing a great enemy, with eyes as sharp as hawks, staring at the direction where the sound came from. In a moment, Lu Tingyan walked out of the woods with light steps.

"Yan'er, why are you here?" Jun Moyuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Tingyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "Brother Yuan, I am worried about your safety, so I followed you to check on you."

Jun Moyuan frowned slightly, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "Yan'er, thank you! But this place is full of dangers, you really shouldn't take the risk." He knew that this place was full of dangers, and if he was not careful, he might end up in jail. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Lu Tingyan's sudden appearance.

Lu Tingyan said firmly: "Brother Yuan, I'm not afraid. I know you are doing this for my own good, but I don't want to see you in danger!" After that, she walked lightly to Jun Moyuan's side and asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Yuan, what were you talking about just now? I vaguely heard you mention the Prime Minister."

Jun Moyuan hesitated for a moment, then answered frankly: "Recently, a large number of assassins sent by the Prime Minister have emerged in Fengxi Town, and we are discussing strategies to deal with it." There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

When Lu Tingyan heard this, she was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Brother Yuan, is it the Prime Minister who came to visit?"

Jun Moyuan frowned, nodded heavily and said: "The last time we encountered an assassination attempt in Yuncheng, I am sure that the Prime Minister would go to great lengths to turn all the towns around Yuncheng upside down and get rid of me as soon as possible." There was determination and firmness in his voice.

Lu Tingyan said angrily: "Humph! If they dare to come over, I will kill them all and avenge myself from last time."

Jun Moyuan looked at Lu Tingyan's angry expression, and a smile appeared on his lips. He thought that this little girl was so cute even when she was angry. He reached out and gently touched Lu Tingyan's head, his eyes full of doting, and said gently: "Yan'er, don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you again. If anyone dares to touch you, I will make him pay a heavy price!"

After hearing what Jun Moyuan said, Lu Tingyan's face flushed. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I'm not worried that I will get hurt, but I'm worried about your safety." Her words revealed her deep concern for Jun Moyuan.

Jun Moyuan's heart warmed up. He tightly held Lu Tingyan's hand and responded solemnly, "I know you care about me, and I will protect myself."

Lu Tingyan slowly raised her head and stared at Jun Moyuan, with a bright light flashing in her eyes. From his sincere and resolute eyes, she truly felt a powerful force, which filled her heart with peace and steadiness.

"Then let's face it bravely together." Lu Tingyan said in a firm tone.

Jun Moyuan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and replied: "Okay, no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will go forward side by side with you and deal with them together."

At this moment, Liang Yu suddenly said: "Your Highness, let's go back first. It's not safe here."

Jun Moyuan nodded, took Lu Tingyan's hand and said, "Let's go."

After returning to the residence, Jun Moyuan looked at Lu Tingyan and reminded her again with a serious expression: "Try not to go out during this period. It's not safe outside." Lu Tingyan nodded obediently to show that she understood.

Jun Moyuan returned to Lu Tianyu's room. When he opened the door and walked into the room, he suddenly saw his elder brother sitting on the bed, seemingly waiting for him. Jun Moyuan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Brother...Brother, why haven't you slept yet?"

Lu Tianyu looked up at him and slowly said, "Tianyuan, where did you and Yan'er go just now?"

Jun Moyuan's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Brother, it was Sister Yan'er who insisted on going out with me."

Lu Tianyu continued, "Tianyuan, we are brothers."

Jun Moyuan quickly responded: "Of course!"

Lu Tianyu continued to ask: "Since we are brothers, shouldn't we be honest with each other?"

Hearing this, Jun Moyuan began to wonder, did his elder brother already know something? Otherwise, why would he ask this? So he responded cautiously: "Brother, my parents also know this."

Lu Tianyu patted Jun Moyuan on the shoulder and said, "Tianyuan, I hope you didn't lie to me. Okay, go to bed early!" After that, he walked out of the room.

Jun Moyuan watched his elder brother walk out of the room and quickly shouted, "Brother, it's so late, aren't you going to rest? Where are you going?"

Lu Tianyu stopped, looked back at Jun Moyuan, and replied calmly: "Well, I'll sleep in the second brother's room tonight."

Jun Moyuan felt nervous after hearing this. He knew that he had concealed something from his elder brother before, and now he had to tell the truth. So he quickly said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me. In fact, there are some things I haven't told you..."

Jun Moyuan took a deep breath and decided to confess his true identity and everything he had experienced. He told his background story and the reason why he came here in detail, and frankly said that he had recently found many strangers in Fengxi Town, and these people might be coming for him. He just went out because his men came to report the latest situation to him, so he planned to discuss countermeasures with everyone tomorrow.

Lu Tianyu listened to Jun Moyuan's narration quietly, without showing much surprise or anger on his face. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said to Jun Moyuan: "Okay, brother, I understand. Go to bed early! We will discuss specific countermeasures together tomorrow." After that, he turned around and sat down beside the bed.

"Okay, big brother." Jun Moyuan responded with a sense of relief. He knew that his big brother had forgiven his concealment, and at the same time, he also felt his big brother's concern for him. In this family, everyone cares about him so much, and the brothers and sisters live in harmony. However, his so-called brothers only draw their swords to fight each other, and there is no so-called family affection, except that his mother and the fifth sister are sincere to him. I don't know what's wrong with his mother now, and whether the princess has visited her on his behalf.
