Who put the yellow robe on me?

His words were full of doubts and confusion, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Su Yunliang's promotion.

Jiang Chen sighed softly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Why he was elected is not discussed for now, but I feel that all of this is a bit too coincidental."

His words made the atmosphere in the room even more solemn, and everyone fell into deep thought.

A glimmer of understanding flashed in He Xiaowei's eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "Your Highness means... this is not a coincidence?"

Jiang Chen glanced at her, his eyes deep and complicated, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know yet, all this is just my guess."

He Xiaowei said: "If all of this was a pre-planned scheme, then it would be a natural progression."

Zhou Liangwei looked bewildered and asked, "Miss He, why do you say that?"

Jiang Chen looked at He Xiaowei, then said to Zhou Liangwei, "Since Sister Thirteen has been arrested, the Forest Protection Army must be held responsible. If we find someone to replace Lin Shigong's management authority in the Forest Protection Army, then Su Yunliang will be the biggest beneficiary."

Although his tone was calm, it revealed the turbulent waves in his heart. He felt an invisible web enveloping him and those around him, and the weaver of this web seemed to be all around them.

Zhou Liangwei clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion. He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Your Highness, I will go to the Forest Protection Army immediately and investigate what has happened recently!"

Jiang Chen nodded, a look of relief in his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, please be careful."

Zhou Liangwei clasped his fists and saluted: "I understand!"

He turned and left, his steps steady and firm, his back looking particularly tall in the sunlight.

The room was silent, with only the breeze blowing through the window lattice, bringing a faint floral fragrance and easing the slightly tense atmosphere.

He Xiaowei bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes full of worry: "Your Highness, do you think this matter is related to the Sixth Prince?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "It's hard to draw a conclusion at this point, but if this was done by Sixth Brother, it might be a bit too ostentatious.

Because he has been in conflict with me since returning to Beijing, and when Thirteenth Sister disappeared, he was the first person I thought of."

He paused and continued, "Su Yunliang suddenly took office, and the emperor furiously dismissed Lin Shigong. This series of events is too coincidental. But our first priority is to find a way to contact Dianzhang."

Deng Yunde frowned and whispered, "Your Highness, I will contact my friends in the martial arts world to see if there are any unusual signals recently."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you must be cautious and don't alert the enemy."

Deng Yunde clasped his fists and replied, "I understand."

After Deng Yunde and Zhou Liangwei left, He Xiaowei suggested going back to find her grandfather to see if she could get some clues.

Jiang Chen and He Xiaowei walked side by side, passing by a flower bed. The air was filled with the faint scent of jasmine, which made people feel a little calmer, but the two of them still couldn't calm down in their hearts.

When they were almost at the palace gate, He Xiaowei suddenly said, "Your Highness, I've always felt that this matter is too strange."

Jiang Chen frowned and thought to himself, "There are many strange things about this whole thing. Which one do you think is the most bizarre?"

He Xiaowei paused, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke, "The princess and Dianzhang disappeared in the middle of the night, and the imperial guards in the palace didn't react at all. This is a bit strange. Logically, why wouldn't the guards, who are supposed to protect the peace of the capital, make any move?"

Jiang Chen seemed to be suddenly enlightened by He Xiaowei's words, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Yes, Dianzhang is very agile. If the enemy insists on taking him away, even if there are ten or eight people attacking together, Dianzhang will make a sound to let us know."

He Xiaowei continued, "Unless Dianzhang and Sister Rou were willing to be abducted."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said firmly, "This situation basically won't happen. We returned to the capital from the Western Regions together. Thirteenth Sister was only thinking about returning to the capital to report back. She would never willingly be abducted."

A hint of gloom flashed in He Xiaowei's eyes: "Then, there is only one possibility."

Jiang Chen stared at He Xiaowei, his tone filled with a hint of vigilance: "Are you saying that the person who kidnapped them is one of our own, and someone we know well?"

He Xiaowei nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, I think so too, but who could it be?"

Jiang Chen was shocked and countless possibilities flashed through his mind, but he quickly regained his composure.

Someone he knew? Was he targeting him again?

He Xiaowei looked at Jiang Chen, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Has Your Highness thought of something?"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether to tell the truth.

He Xiaowei lowered her head and said softly, "Your Highness, I have always felt that something is wrong with this matter. Perhaps we should be more cautious."

Jiang Chen thought quickly, trying to come up with an excuse: "Ever since returning to Beijing, I've been attacked everywhere. I feel like the arrest of Thirteenth Sister and Dianzhang was also because of me."

After hearing this, He Xiaowei nodded thoughtfully: "If it is really because of Your Highness, would Your Highness sacrifice himself to save them?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Xiao Wei'er, is this the first day you met me? I will definitely be torn to pieces at all costs."

He Xiaowei fiddled with the corner of her clothes gently, looking at the ground. She didn't dare to look Jiang Chen in the eye. Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "If Your Highness gives up everything he has now to rescue them, or even admits..."

He Xiaowei's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost inaudible.

Jiang Chen was startled, as if he sensed that she knew something, but he did not show it. He continued to speak righteously, "Thirteenth Sister is my biological sister. I will do anything to save her life."

He Xiaowei suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, and stared at Jiang Chen for a long time, as if waiting for his further explanation. However, Jiang Chen remained calm and did not reveal any further information.

He Xiaowei looked at Jiang Chen, her eyes full of worry and confusion: "Your Highness, I'm tired. I'll go back home first. Please go back."

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back, with a hint of haste and uneasiness in her steps.

Her back looked somewhat lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun, yet also extremely resolute. Jiang Chen watched her departing figure, his heart aching, but on the surface he remained calm and resolute.

Jiang Chen watched He Xiaowei leave, feeling a faint sense of unease. He knew that He Xiaowei's words were not without purpose, and wondered if she had noticed something.
