Lu Yao walked out from behind the corner with a wry smile, facing everyone's gazes with an awkward look on his face.

Although there was a reason for lying on the roof of the concubine's courtyard, it was really hard to explain.

"Um..." Lu Yao swiped his nose twice with his fingers, "I was ordered to come to find Her Royal Highness the Little Princess."

Jiang Yingcheng, who was busy with Cheng Yunmeng, poked his head out from the room and said, "Looking for Chengcheng?"

Lu Yao nodded with a smile: "Yes, there is something, I would like to ask your help, Your Highness."

Eunuch Changshun looked inquiringly.

Lu Yao was not panicked at all.

He had consulted Emperor Mingze before coming, and he was holding a handwritten letter from the emperor to Eunuch Changshun, so he was not afraid of anyone's questioning.

But he didn't expect that after Jiang Yingcheng looked back and forth between him and the assassin on the ground twice, he first asked a completely unrelated question.

"Did you shoot that arrow just now?"

The little princess' voice was soft, like a beautiful butterfly carefully extending its antennae.

Lu Yao didn't know what she meant, but he still answered subconsciously: "Yes."

The bow and arrow was found in the corner of the yard. He just took it when he saw two groups of people confronting each other in the yard.

Jiang Yingcheng felt conflicted.

[Would it be a bad idea to let this person give the credit to Brother Seven? ]

Jiang Yingcheng's toes tapped the snow one by one, and his ten fingers were tangled together.

007 said that Aunt Yunmeng and Seventh Brother might need such credit more, otherwise, harboring an assassin would be a very serious crime.

Lu Yao and Cheng Yunmeng, who walked out of the room because she was worried, were both stunned.

Lu Yao glanced at the kind-hearted Eunuch Changshun and asked tentatively, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is an extraordinary archer. He was able to shoot down such a powerful assassin in one stroke!"

Jiang Yingcheng looked up in surprise, and Cheng Yunmeng's fingertips trembled slightly.

Eunuch Changshun took the lead and echoed: "Yes, Your Highness is truly brave!"

The elites who came with them looked at the wind direction and followed closely behind.

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"Yes Yes Yes......"

Jiang Yingcheng ran up to Lu Yao with a shy look on his face, timidly took the bow and arrow from his hand, and after making sure that there was no displeasure on his face, he dragged himself on the snow to Jiang Xingran's side.

She tentatively stretched out her chubby little hand, grabbed Jiang Xingran's slender fingers, and grasped the somewhat tattered longbow.

"Here," Jiang Yingcheng handed the results to his wife at home with a proud look on his face, like a big man who had earned money working outside. "You can exchange it for money!"

[Hehehe, Brother Qi must be so moved that he will cry! ]

The appearance of the little adult successfully made many people in the courtyard laugh, but Jiang Xingran just stared at Jiang Yingcheng with a serious look for a long while.

There was a fine layer of sweat on the tip of the little guy's nose, and his cheeks were slightly flushed from the hard work just now. His eyes were clear and transparent, as innocent and childish as an ordinary child.

It was completely different from the way he used to be when he and Jiang Huaian bullied him together.

He tightened his grip on the bow handle slightly, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

Jiang Yingcheng seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

Lu Yao did not come alone on this trip. Emperor Mingze specially assigned him ten guards and asked him to ensure Jiang Yingcheng's safety.

It also made it convenient for him to escort Ji Xiangyang to the Dali Temple for trial.

Eunuch Changshun sent all the eunuchs to accompany Concubine Lan to meet the emperor, and then followed the two of them out of the palace.

The carriage stopped in front of the Dali Temple. Jiang Yingcheng handed her hand to Eunuch Changshun naturally as usual, but the other party was unable to hold her hand as he did before.

Jiang Yingcheng looked up in confusion, his big almond eyes full of grievance.

Eunuch Changshun succumbed to this lovely attack, and resolutely reached out and held the soft little hand in his palm.

The previous resolution not to let outsiders gossip about the little princess was thrown out of her mind.

Changshun has achieved his current status, but it’s not for nothing!

See who dares to gossip about the little prince!

Eunuch Changshun held Jiang Yingcheng's little hand and walked towards the Dali Temple with a heroic and high-spirited manner.

Lu Yao hurriedly followed, saying as he walked: "It's like this, an elder whom I admire very much has been wrongfully imprisoned, but no evidence has been found to exonerate him. He is weak and can't stand the torture of prison, so I would like to ask Your Highness to intercede with His Majesty and allow him to return home. When we have definite evidence, we can make subsequent plans."

Lu Yao's eyes were filled with anticipation.

What he just said were just excuses.

His real purpose today was to ask the omniscient "system" in the little prince's heart to help him find out the truth of the matter and clear that person's name.

Eunuch Changshun understood Lu Yao's true purpose almost instantly.

Duke Wang Jinglun was wrongfully imprisoned last month on charges of treason and collaborating with the enemy. Everyone knew that he was wrongly accused, but the evidence in the hands of the informant was too sufficient, so Emperor Mingze had no choice but to detain him in the Dali Temple and ask Lu Yao to take good care of him.

Lu Yao has been running around looking for evidence for almost the entire month but has gained nothing. Now that he knows that the young prince has such extraordinary abilities, how can he not be excited.

Jiang Yingcheng didn't know why she was asked to come and see the old man with her own eyes just to ask for a favor from her father, but she obeyed and said nothing, walking slowly behind the two of them.

The group soon arrived at the door of the cell where Duke Wang was imprisoned.

Lu Yao took excellent care of Duke Wang.

Not only was a soft bed specially prepared for him, but there were also three braziers, which were not found in ordinary cells, piled up in this compartment.

The prisoners in the two adjacent cells even lay down on the side closer to Duke Wang, taking the opportunity to get some warmth.

The frail old man that Lu Yao mentioned took off his shirt and was doing push-ups one after another in the cubicle. His strong muscles looked shiny with sweat.

Lu Yao: “…”

This made him very embarrassed.

Eunuch Changshun was stunned for a moment, then he screamed and leaned over to block Jiang Yingcheng's view.

Lord Wang turned around when he heard the voice. His nonchalant expression froze for a moment when he noticed the carrot-like figure in the middle of the crowd. He turned around and quickly put on his coat, covering up his cough and said, "Little bastard, why didn't you inform me in advance when you brought someone here?"

Lu Yao would have just laughed it off in the past, but today——

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, did you see that? The muscles on that old man's body look stronger than those of this Jinyiwei uncle! ]

Not only does this sound like a gangster, it is actually very unfriendly to his male dignity.

He said angrily, "You are in a public place, your clothes are not tidy, and you don't pay attention to your morals. Are you really being wronged?!"

Wang Jinglun: “???”
