At this time, someone in the crowd shouted again: "The Third Prince is bullying others by taking advantage of his power. This is intolerable!"

Yu Gongxuan shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to speak any more will be arrested!"

The scene instantly fell into chaos. When several followers approached the three men, they had fierce eyes, rubbed their hands together, and had ferocious expressions on their faces, as if wolves saw lambs to be slaughtered.

The leading follower stretched out his strong arms, trying to grab Shen Yiran, and shouted viciously: "Be honest and follow us!"

Another follower approached the blue-dressed girl and the little girl sideways, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, showed a malicious smile, and muttered: "Don't struggle, save yourself the pain!"

Another follower shouted fiercely from behind: "Be obedient, or you will be in trouble!"

When Yun'er saw this scene, she was so scared that her legs were shaking, but she still struggled to squeeze into the crowd, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't catch my lady, she didn't hurt anyone..." However, her voice was soon drowned out by the noise.

At this moment, a chilling chill flashed in Banxia's eyes. She instantly grasped the dagger tightly in her hand and aimed at the man who was leading the charge to capture Shen Yiran.

Her actions did not escape Shen Yiran's eyes. Shen Yiran gently shook his head at her and signaled her with lip language not to act rashly.

After receiving the instructions, Banxia stopped moving. As a former assassin, she was evaluated on the basis of obedience to orders. But her eyes were still fixed on the scene ahead, with the dagger hidden in her sleeve ready to strike at any time.

At this time, in the private room on the second floor, a man wearing a silver mask gently put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Phantom, why is there so much noise downstairs?"

The man called Phantom, wearing a bronze mask, replied: "I'll go and take a look!" He opened the window and saw everything that was happening below. Just as he was about to look away, a familiar figure in the crowd stopped him.

His eyes were fixed on Banxia, and he thought to himself, "Why is my sister here? She shouldn't be here. She should be in the Prime Minister's residence. Could it be that she was kicked out of the residence?"

The man in the silver mask noticed that his subordinate looked strange, and didn't know why, so he asked, "What happened? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Phantom came back to his senses and clasped his fists, saying, "Master, I saw my sister here and I am a little confused."

The silver masked man frowned slightly: "Your sister? Why is she in this chaotic place?"

Phantom shook his head: "I don't know either. Maybe there is something else going on."

After hearing this, the man in the silver mask slowly walked to the windowsill and overlooked the chaotic scene below with a deep look in his eyes.

Suddenly, he saw the veiled woman being besieged. He felt as if he was pinned down. He murmured in confusion, "How could it be her?"

"Phantom, go down and check it out. Find a suitable time to call your sister. The three of us will each take one person with us. Take advantage of the chaos and bring the three of them to the carriage."

The phantom bowed and said, "I understand. I'll do it right away." After that, he disappeared in the room in a flash.

The chaos downstairs was still going on. Phantom quietly blended into the crowd and approached Banxia calmly.

He lowered his voice and said to Banxia, "Sister, come with me." Banxia was startled at first, but when she saw it was an illusion, she nodded.

Just then, a burst of firecrackers sounded from behind the crowd. Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and their attention was instantly distracted.

The silver masked man made a prompt decision: "Now!" As soon as he finished speaking, he came to Shen Yiran at lightning speed, put his arm around her waist, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, follow me."

At this moment, the leading follower suddenly reached out to stop him. The silver-masked man dodged and kicked the follower in the chest, causing the follower to fall to the ground in pain. The silver-masked man took the opportunity to jump up with Shen Yiran and jumped into the carriage.

At the same time, Phantom and Banxia took action immediately after hearing the order.

The phantom shuttled through the crowd like a ghost and came to the girl in blue in an instant. He put one hand around the girl's shoulders and used the other hand to push away the crowd blocking his way. He dodged left and right flexibly and soon brought the girl in blue to the carriage and flipped over to get inside.

Banxia was not to be outdone. She flashed and glided through the crowd as lightly as a swift swallow. She reached out and hugged the little girl tightly in her arms. She took every step accurately to avoid the impact of the crowd. She nimbly dodged left and right and got into the carriage in a flash.

The three men moved quickly and efficiently, and successfully rescued the person before anyone could react.

Inside the carriage, Shen Yiran and the others were still in shock, breathing heavily, but the carriage sped away towards the alley behind.

Yu Gongxuan was consumed by pain at the moment. Upon hearing this, his face became even gloomier and he shouted angrily, "What a bunch of rubbish! You can't even keep an eye on two people! Chase them, even if you have to turn the capital upside down, you must find them!"

The followers quickly stood up, endured the pain and prepared to give chase.

At this moment, Yu Gongxuan fainted because he could not bear the pain in his body. Seeing this, his followers turned back one after another.

"What should we do?" an attendant asked anxiously.

"Send the third prince back to the palace first and ask the imperial physician to come and treat him." Another attendant was relatively calm.

Everyone hurriedly lifted Yu Gongxuan and rushed to the palace. Along the way, the followers' hearts were hanging high in their throats, fearing that something unexpected would happen to the Third Prince.

Let’s talk about Yun’er. She was shocked by this sudden change. How could the young lady disappear in the blink of an eye? When she looked again, even Banxia was gone.

She panicked immediately and didn't know what to do. After being stunned for a moment, she gradually calmed down and decided to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her son-in-law.

At this moment, the restaurant lobby seemed to have been muted. The lobby, which was bustling just now, was now only filled with messy tables and chairs and leftovers on the floor.

In the moving carriage, the man in the silver mask was the first to break the silence and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I will take you away from this place for now. We can make plans when we are in a safe place."

Shen Yiran slowly raised her head when she heard the words. When she saw the man who was speaking, she was so surprised that she blurted out, "It's you?"

She thought to herself, "It's him! Isn't this the man in black whom she saved on the day of her wedding? Why is it so dramatic?"

But suddenly he remembered the dagger and felt that this man must be no simple man. He must not let him know that it was he who saved him. It would be terrible if he killed him to silence him.

The silver-masked man widened his eyes, surprised and delighted, and raised his voice unconsciously: "Why do you say that, young lady? Have you seen me before?"

At this time, Shen Yiran looked at the bronze-masked man next to him. Yes, it was them. It was him who picked up the silver-masked man by the river that day.

But she denied it flatly, pretending to be calm and said, "Maybe I saw it wrongly, please don't mind it, sir."

The silver masked man's eyes lingered on her face for a moment, as if trying to determine the truth of her words. At this moment, the carriage jolted, Shen Yiran's body swayed, and the man subconsciously reached out to support her.
