"Greetings to Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

A middle-aged man in armor stood before the two men, a sword at his waist, and saluted them. Behind him was a group of men surrounding the Prince Chen's mansion. He stood up straight without waiting for Xie Sui to speak.

"The prince asked me to tell Prince Chen to come into the palace. He's waiting for you there." The middle-aged man looked at the guards standing behind the two men and said, "Please don't let me take action, or I'll scare you, Your Highness."

Xie Sui raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then said in a deep voice, "Shen Xi, are you threatening me?"

We must enter the palace, but we must not be forced to go in.

Yu Guiwan drew his sword and snorted coldly, "Action? You are seeking death if you dare to do so in Prince Chen's mansion."

"Make a move." Xie Sui took the initiative.

As soon as he finished speaking, a team of secret guards jumped down from the eaves and formed a defense around the entire Prince Chen's Mansion.

Shen Xi's eyes were fierce. If the prince hadn't ordered to bring Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan into the palace as little as possible, he would have led his men into Prince Chen's mansion early in the morning. "Go in, General! Leave no one alive except Prince Chen and his wife!"

Shen Xi drew out his long sword and went towards Yu Guiwan. Yu Guiwan used a sword to deflect the tip of his sword and started fighting with him.

Xie Sui did not lag behind and was protected by the secret guards and took a few steps back to stand in a safe place.

Bei Chu thrust his sword at Shen Xi. The two of them coordinated their movements. Bei Chu spoke at the fastest speed possible, "Princess, Madam Yu has arrived. You and the prince should go to the backyard. Our subordinates will never let anyone enter Prince Chen's mansion."

"Okay." After hearing this, Yu Guiwan immediately left and went to Xie Sui's side.

All the servants in Prince Chen's Mansion were now arranged to stay in one place, so as not to run around and cause panic in the entire mansion. At this moment, there was a constant fighting outside the door, but the silence inside the mansion was a little eerie.

When Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui arrived at the backyard, they saw Yang Nian sitting in the yard anxiously.

"Awan." Yang Nian quickly stood up when she saw her. She was relieved after repeatedly confirming that Yu Guiwan was fine. Then she looked at Xie Sui, "Thank you, Your Highness." She knew Bei Chu. When the accident happened, Bei Chu rushed to Yu's Mansion and took her to Prince Chen's Mansion.

"Mom, have you arranged everything for the housekeeper and the others?" Yu Guiwan asked. After all, those were servants she had employed for many years, and she still had feelings for them.

"Don't worry, they have all hidden in the secret room." Yang Nian patted her hands. He was still scared. In fact, the Yu Mansion had not repaired the secret room before, but later Yu Guiwan delivered a letter back to the Yu Mansion.

The Yu Mansion quietly started construction and rushed to build a secret room a month before the incident. Although they couldn't leave the mansion through the secret passage, it was still a good place to hide temporarily.

For Xie Xiao, the two most important people in the Yu family are himself and his mother. The rest of the people can escape the disaster by just hiding.

Xie Sui then remembered that he hadn't seen Wei Heng since the incident. "Where's Wei Heng?"

"He should have gone to the Su Mansion." Yu Guiwan had just finished saying this.

Wei Heng brought Su Qingyu and Madam Su and walked towards them from the back door. There were a lot of bloodstains on Wei Heng's light green clothes, and he was covering his shoulder with his hand, and it was obvious that he was injured.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Princess." Madam Su and Su Qingyu immediately bowed upon seeing Xie Sui, not forgetting the proper etiquette even at this moment. Instead, Wei Heng strode over to the stone bench and sat down.

Xie Sui looked at everyone who had arrived before he turned to look at them all and said, "Follow me."

"Can you take care of me first? I don't have any medicine on me." Wei Heng grimaced in pain and looked at Xie Sui's arrangement with dissatisfaction.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have anything." Xie Sui glanced at him and then continued, "The medicine in the secret room is fully prepared."

Upon hearing this, Wei Heng stood up immediately. He also knew the direction of the secret room in Prince Chen's Mansion. Yang Nian comforted Madam Su, and the two walked together. Su Qingyu followed them, but her mind was completely on Wei Heng.

But she didn't dare to show concern for Wei Heng in front of her mother, and could only worry about Wei Heng's injury silently in her heart.

Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan walked in front. Xie Sui led everyone to the study. It was the first time that Yu Guiwan knew that there was a secret room in Prince Chen's Mansion.

After the two of them went in, no one else followed. In front of Yu Guiwan, Xie Sui gently turned a round ball under the chair, and a secret door immediately opened on the bookshelf.

"Come in." Yu Guiwan shouted outside.

Everyone followed Xie Sui into the secret room, which was a hidden gem. It contained everything from daily necessities to stored dry food and medicine. Wei Heng immediately grabbed some medicine from the shelf and poured some powder onto his wound, successfully stopping the bleeding.

"There is a secret passage here that leads out of the city. If anything unexpected happens, take them away." Xie Sui told Yu Guiwan the location of the mechanism.

She frowned and immediately realized that Xie Sui was going to the palace. She immediately said, "I'll go to the palace with you." She was worried about Xie Sui, even though someone was protecting him.

"No."

Xie Sui refused without hesitation. This was the first time he refused Yu Guiwan's request.

"Okay, you can't stop me." Yu Guiwan looked at him and said solemnly, her eyes full of determination. After she finished speaking, she looked at Yang Nian again, but for a moment she didn't know how to start, "Mom, I..."

Yang Nian smiled faintly at her and said, "Go ahead. Protect His Highness and yourself at the same time." As a mother, how could she not see what her daughter wanted to do?

If it were her, she would also accompany her husband.

Xie Sui was still hoping that someone could persuade A Wan, but he didn't expect such an unexpected result in the end.

"Don't waste time, let's go to the palace immediately to meet Pei Jin." Yu Guiwan looked at Xie Sui's expression and said firmly.

"let's go."

Xie Sui no longer hesitated. There was no time to delay entering the palace. Even if it cost him his life, he would protect A Wan.

"Wei Heng." Before leaving, Xie Sui suddenly called out.

Wei Heng glanced at Xie Sui, knowing what he was about to say, and immediately assured him, "Don't worry, I understand. Leave their safety to me."

After Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui walked out of the secret room, they turned the mechanism to close the secret door and left the study.

When the two walked to the front yard, they smelled the stench of blood. Bei Chu was directing people to clean up the bodies. When he saw them coming, he immediately said, "Prince, Princess, the fast horses are ready."

"Okay, Beichu will leave a team of people to protect Prince Chen's mansion, and the rest of you will follow me into the palace."
