Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

At this moment, the area outside the Dali Temple was completely surrounded. The only way to escape was for Lord Lu to lead the disguised Ke Ci out openly before they discovered that Ke Ci was missing.

Feng Chenyi's wounds had not yet healed; he was seriously injured. He had just rescued Lu Tian'er, who was being held hostage, outside the Dali Temple, and his wounds had reopened.

Zhai Yun grabbed Feng Chenyi and said earnestly, "Brother Yi, you must take care of yourself. Leave this to me. Even if they have already left Dali Temple, I will definitely bring them back to you."

Feng Chenyi was far from able to rest. In order not to worry Zhai Yun, he coldly ordered Duan Yi'an: "Mobilize all manpower and dig three feet into the ground to find this person for me!"

Duan Yi'an, who had initially felt some sympathy for Consort Tian, ​​now answered wholeheartedly, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Duan Yi'an and Zhai Yun hurriedly walked out of the prison. As soon as Zhai Yun left the prison, she flew to the gate of the Dali Temple. After asking around, Zhai Yun learned that Lord Lu had just said that he was going to get medicine for Consort Tian and left with a person dressed as a Dali Temple yamen runner.

Zhai Yun understood that Lord Lu had probably taken away Ke Ci in disguise. After finding out the direction, Zhai Yun first found a deserted place and sent out a signal!

With the situation so dire, it was impossible for her to capture Ke Ci alone before he could seek refuge! At this moment, she had no choice but to mobilize more people.

Less than half a day after the signal was given, the arrival of the people surprised Zhai Yun. Wei Zi and Mr. Rui rushed over, and they also brought Ke Ci, who had disguised himself as an escapee.

“Ever since the incident at Prince Rui’s residence, Rui Han has ordered people to keep a close eye on the Dali Temple and Prince Rui’s residence. Just now, she saw the two sneaking out of the Dali Temple. They separated halfway there. Rui Han recognized him as Ke Ci, who was imprisoned by the prince, so she arrested him!” Wei Zi removed the man’s hood.

Before Ke Ci could figure out who had arrested him, the moment the hood was removed and he saw Zhai Yun, Ke Ci gritted his teeth. He looked at the person standing next to Zhai Yun, spat, and said disdainfully, "The dignified Young Master Rui, colluding with Jianghu forces! Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Zhai Yun didn't care about him. Now that the person had been caught, it was up to Zhai Yun to decide how to deal with him. Zhai Yun asked Wei Zi, "Did anyone see him being arrested?"

At this moment, the people from the Dali Temple, together with the Northern Suburbs Army, are searching house to house. Ke Ci's prison break has already blown up!

Wei Zi looked uncertainly at Master Rui, who was very certain: "No one saw it."

"That's good!" Zhai Yun suddenly thought of a sinister plan. If Ke Ci hadn't escaped, Feng Chenyi really wouldn't have been able to deal with him.

At this moment, everyone in the Dali Temple can testify that during Ke Ci's prison break, only Lord Lu left the Dali Temple with one other person. Since Ke Ci has already escaped, whatever happens to him has nothing to do with the Dali Temple or the Prince Rui's Mansion.

Since Ke Ci won't reveal who's behind him, there's no point in keeping him alive. Killing him would be doing the people a favor!

After making up her mind, Zhai Yun leaned close to Wei Zi's ear and whispered, "Kill him, dump him at Lord Lu's residence, and then..."

After listening to Zhai Yun's plan, Wei Zi was filled with admiration for Zhai Yun. She hadn't expected that Zhai Yun, at such a young age, possessed intelligence and strategic acumen that even she couldn't match.

Although Ruihan didn't know what Zhai Yun and Wei Zi had talked about, seeing Wei Zi's appreciative and agreeable expression, he could only follow Wei Zi's lead and put it into practice.

When Ke Ci was taken away by Wei Zi's men, he still roared angrily at Zhai Yun, "Dare the Prince Rui's mansion oppose this teacher? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Zhai Yun found him noisy, and Wei Zi, fearing he would disturb others, told him to shut up!

Zhai Yun deliberately wandered around outside, and returned to Dali Temple just before dawn. As expected, none of the men she sent out could find Ke Ci's whereabouts, and even Lord Lu had not returned to his residence.

Lu Tian'er's life has been temporarily saved. Feng Chenyi has ordered that no one should reveal anything about her father's situation to her until she recovers.

With the morning court session already underway, Ke Ci had been lost in the crowd, causing everyone in the Dali Temple to panic. Shortly after the session began, Emperor An issued an imperial decree, ordering the Dali Temple to work with Prince Rui to bring Ke Ci into the palace for an audience with the Emperor!

Emperor Xing'an had not attended court for several days. He probably attended today because he heard that Ke Ci had been kidnapped. Countless people were waiting for him to uphold justice in this matter!

If Ke Ci cannot be found, Duan Yi'an knows very well that not only will Prince Rui be punished, but he will also lose his position as Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!

"The man was taken away by Lord Lu; the people from the Dali Temple witnessed it last night!" Before Zhai Yun could tell Feng Chenyi, she ordered, "Everyone, listen up! Immediately search the Marquis's residence and do not let anyone escape!"

Although some people went to the Marquis's residence last night, the Marquis's residence refused to let the people from the Dali Temple out, citing that Marquis Lu had not returned to the residence. At this moment, Zhai Yun once again proposed to search the Marquis's residence, and Duan Yi'an agreed without thinking.

Feng Chenyi and Zhai Yun, along with a troop of soldiers from the northern suburbs, surrounded the Lu Marquis's residence with men from the Dali Temple. The Lu Marquis, as if he had heard some news, ran out of the residence instead of attending court.

He looked at Feng Chenyi, who was leading troops to besiege the Marquis's residence, with an innocent expression: "Your Highness, what... what do you mean by this? This old minister was just about to go to the Dali Temple to bring Tian'er back to recuperate. What are you trying to do by bringing so many people here? Tian'er lost half her life for Your Highness, and Your Highness still has the mind to cause trouble for this old minister!"

This time, it was Duan Yi'an who couldn't help but speak first. Duan Yi'an scolded, "Lord Lu, how dare you mention your daughter! Last night, your daughter was on the verge of death. Where were you? Didn't you go to get medicine for your daughter? Why didn't you come back?"

Lord Lu's eyes widened for a moment, and he replied with a bow, "The pharmacies were all closed last night. I was on my way back when I encountered the Dali Temple searching for me all over the streets. It was only because I wanted to avoid suspicion that I didn't go back!"

Duan Yi'an looked at Marquis Lu with disdain and contempt: "Who was the person Marquis Lu brought out of Dali Temple last night? Don't tell me you left Dali Temple alone!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Lord Lu's eyes. He explained, "Haven't the streets been rather unsettled these past two days? This old minister had intended to bring someone to protect me, but after I returned to my residence safely, I let him go back on his own!"

"You're lying!" Duan Yi'an retorted angrily, "No one from the Dali Temple went out last night! The person you brought out is none other than the escaped Master Ke!"

Seeing that Duan Yi'an was adamant, Lord Lu raised his voice guiltily: "Your Dali Temple failed to keep a good watch on people and now you want to find me, your Lord, to be a scapegoat! Let me tell you! No way!"

Seeing that Lord Lu was very cunning and had completely denied everything that happened last night, Duan Yi'an knew that Ke Ci wouldn't be foolish enough to stay at Lord Lu's residence. He was unsure whether he should force his way in.
