When Marquis Zhongyong hurried over, he happened to hear Jiang Shaoying's words.

His angry voice rang out, and the two people who were talking were slightly stunned.

Shen Jingxuan hurried forward: "Dad, I need your help with something."

Marquis Zhongyong hadn't seen Shen Jingxuan for many days. The moment he saw her, his brows softened.

"Xuan'er, just tell me, Daddy will listen to your instructions."

Jiang Shaoying couldn't help but roll her eyes and look into the distance.

All day long he either scolded or glared at her, but when he saw Shen Jingxuan he became friendly and humble.

Does he know who his biological daughter is?

Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "Dad, could you please come to the palace?"

"There are two people in the palace who are regarded as assassins. I wonder if you can take them out of the palace?"

The loyal and brave Marquis smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Daddy can bring them out, Xuan'er, don't worry."

Seeing how readily he agreed, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If it were other things, it would be fine, but Ling Chen and Zhao Yiliang were assassins at this time, so it wouldn't be as easy as Marquis Zhongyong said.

"Dad, will this cause you trouble?"

Marquis Zhongyong said, "No, Xuan'er, just stay in the mansion. Daddy will take the person out of the palace right away." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the mansion.

Shen Jingxuan blocked his way: "Dad, take Ling Yu with you, he can contact those two people."

"The palace is still searching everywhere. If it becomes difficult, please leave the palace first and don't worry about them."

Although Zhao Yiliang and Ling Chen must be rescued, she didn't want anything to happen to Marquis Zhongyong.

"Okay, I'll go to the palace to see the emperor, and then I'll let Ling Yu go find the person."

"Daddy..."

The loyal and brave marquis interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, Daddy will be careful and will not let the emperor find out."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Jingxuan to continue her instructions, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Ling Yu looked at the smiling Marquis Zhongyong and followed him in a daze.

At this moment, Marquis Zhongyong did not look nervous at all about entering the palace to rescue the assassin.

He seemed to be going to do something very happy, his steps were light and his eyes and brows were full of smiles.

Just by looking at him, Ling Yu's original nervousness disappeared.

Shen Jingxuan tried her best to rescue Zhao Yilian and Ling Chen, but she didn't know that they were also in some trouble at this time.

Ling Chen looked at the half-dead Zhao Yilian and gritted his teeth in anger.

He was already seriously injured and had not yet recovered, but he refused to stay at home and recuperate.

He is not smart enough, but he insists on entering the inner court of the imperial palace.

It would have been fine if he had just entered the palace, but he was so troublesome. Not only did his wound burst, but he also had a slight fever.

Ling Chen couldn't help but feel worried when looking at Zhao Yiliang.

He said he would wait until dark. Today it was indeed dark, but he didn't have the strength to leave the palace.

Even though he leaned there motionless, his breathing gradually became fainter.

Ling Chen patted Zhao Yiliang's cheek: "Can you still hold on?"

Zhao Yiliang sneered: "Don't look down on me. Even if I am in my current state, you are no match for me."

"..."

Seeing that he still had the energy to tease him, Ling Chen went to the side and stared at what was happening outside.

Several hours had passed, and the guards had searched almost every place in the palace, big and small. They didn't know how many times they had changed locations.

But from the noise outside, not only did they not stop the search, the number of guards seemed to be increasing.

"I'm afraid I can't get out tonight." Ling Chen murmured.

Not only were the two unable to get out, they also didn't know how many places they had to change to avoid the search of the Guards.

Ling Chen turned around and glanced at Zhao Yiliang, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He still has to carry this burden.

Not to mention taking him with him, even if he was alone, he couldn't be sure that he could avoid being discovered during the heavy searches.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of the palace."

Ling Chen was angry: "With your current condition, even if no one searches you, you may not be able to leave the palace alive."

"Can I count on you? In your current condition, you can only take me to see my grandfather."

Zhao Yiliang frowned and asked, "Where is your grandfather?"

Ling Chen gritted his teeth and said, "The underground is waiting for you and me to reunite."

Zhao Yiliang choked when he heard Ling Chen's words.

"you... ..."

"Shh..." Ling Chen put a finger to his lips to stop Zhao Yiliang from speaking.

He moved his ears slightly, leaned forward, and listened quietly to the sounds outside.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yiliang put his ear to the stone wall behind him, but he could hear nothing else except the footsteps and conversations of the guards.

Ling Chen was silent for a long time, slowly straightened up, turned around and looked at Zhao Yiliang.

Seeing his ear gradually pressed against the stone wall, he whispered, "Maybe I heard it wrong."

Zhao Yiliang glared at him: "You..."

"Do not talk."

Ling Chen instantly resumed his previous action and continued to listen to the noise outside.

After a long time, the corners of his lips gradually curled up, and he put his fingers in his mouth, blowing out sounds of varying lengths.

Zhao Yiliang looked at him in shock until he put his hand down and asked, "What are you blowing?"

"finger."

"..."

Was he blind, and couldn't he see the sound he made with his fingers?

"Someone is looking for us? Are you in contact with them?"

Ling Chen looked into the distance: "The princess has sent someone into the palace, and they will be here soon."

"She is quite capable."

Ling Chen glared at him: "Don't be so stupid in the future. You can't help at all, and you're causing trouble for the princess."

Now that the prince is not at home, all matters are left for the princess to arrange.

If the troublesome Zhao Yiliang were to continue to be around, the princess would have to spend a lot of time and effort.

Zhao Yiliang did not refute, but he knew that it was his carelessness that caused such trouble.

Half a minute later, there were slight footsteps outside. Zhao Yiliang's eyes turned slightly cold and his body gradually tensed up.

Ling Chen leaned against a corner, hiding his body in the shadows, and remained motionless.

Until the call was heard again outside, he turned his head and saw a familiar figure, then slowly walked forward.

"Ling Yu, here."

When Zhao Yiliang heard Ling Chen's words, his tense body slowly relaxed, but he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

Others don't know his physical condition, but he knows it.

If it was the Imperial Guards who came, he would probably have to stay in the palace.

Ling Yu came to the two of them and stuffed the robe in her hand into Ling Chen's hand.

"Hurry up and change, there's no time."

After Ling Yu and Marquis Zhongyong entered the palace, they quickly separated.

He looked everywhere for Ling Chen and Zhao Yiliang, while Marquis Zhongyong went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.

But he knew that the palace was being searched everywhere and martial law had been imposed. If Marquis Zhongyong did not have the trust of the emperor, he still could not enter the palace.

Even so, he couldn't delay for long.

After Ling Chen helped Zhao Yiliang change his clothes, he supported him and walked towards the direction where Ling Yu came from.

At this time in the imperial study, Marquis Zhongyong finally finished speaking what he had been thinking about all the way, but he still stood there motionless.

Seeing this, the emperor asked, "Anything else?"
