The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Seeing Chen Ming's nervous expression, Yun'er immediately frowned.

Upon hearing Yun'er's words, Chen Ming immediately smiled.

"It's alright! Those guys were no match for me at all. They're probably already dead outside the city."

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Chen Ming's expression immediately changed.

"Your Highness! It's so good to hear that you're alright! I was worried that you might have been injured or something."

Seeing the grim expression on Chen Ming's face, Yang Ling immediately approached him, "Lord Chen! Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"No! I..."

Chen Ming was also filled with fear at this moment. Su Yun had said before that he would definitely have a conflict with Yang Ling.

I thought I could be of some help here, but it turns out I'm in a dilemma!

Seeing Chen Ming's conflicted expression, Yun'er immediately came over.

"Your Highness! I sense something is amiss here, perhaps we should..."

Yun'er was about to take care of Chen Ming when Yang Ling stopped her before she could finish speaking.

"Forget it! Let's release him first!"

As Yang Ling spoke, she walked towards Chen Ming and said, "Didn't you say you would help me investigate the assassin? I'll give you a chance. You should be able to find out the cause and effect of this within three days, right?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly as she spoke.

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Chen Ming immediately froze.

However, it recovered quickly.

"Your Highness, rest assured! We will definitely be able to find out!"

As Chen Ming spoke, he quickly headed towards the city.

Yang Ling watched Chen Ming's departing figure, a helpless smile appearing on her lips.

"Your Highness! Do you think he will report this to Su Yun and the others?"

Hearing Yun'er's words, Yang Ling smiled helplessly, "Don't worry! Even if he doesn't report it, I will give them a chance."

……

After returning to his residence, Chen Ming did not immediately go to find Su Yun, but hesitated in his room.

If Chen Ming told Su Yun and the others about this, he was worried that Yang Ling would retaliate against him. But if he kept it a secret and didn't say anything, he was afraid that he would not escape their pursuit.

This puts me in a real dilemma!

"My lord! What should we do now?"

Chen Ming had an advisor by his side, whom he brought with him when he came before.

Upon hearing Chen Ming's hesitant words, the aide immediately came over.

"My lord! We're already entangled with Su Yun. If we don't cooperate with them, we'll probably be caught. We might as well tell them about this and let them sort out the trouble first. That way, we can at least get credit for our efforts."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming's expression immediately turned tense.

"You have a point!"

As Chen Ming spoke, he immediately led his staff toward Su Yun's room.

A moment later they arrived at the door. "My lord!"

Chen Ming was about to go in when he was stopped by Su Yun's men before he could take more than a few steps.

"Lord Chen, please return! Lord Su is resting!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming's expression immediately changed.

"I... have something to report to Lord Su."

Upon hearing Chen Ming's words, the man immediately frowned.

"If there's anything you need, Lord Chen, just tell us directly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming frowned slightly.

If this had happened before, I probably wouldn't have bothered with it, but now I have something to report to Su Yun, so I can't worry about anything else.

"Let me go see Lord Su instead!"

Chen Ming was about to go over when, before he could take a few steps, the door suddenly opened and an extremely ugly face peeked out.

"What is Lord Chen planning to do?"

Su Yun walked out from inside and said, "Lord Chen, you just met with the Ninth Prince. Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Su Yun's expression was clearly off, as if there was an important person in the room that Chen Ming couldn't see.

"I……"

Chen Ming wanted to tell the story of what had happened before, but he swallowed the words back down.

Seeing Chen Ming's conflicted expression, Su Yun immediately came over.

"Lord Chen, please just say what you need to say. There's no need to be so nervous."

Seeing Su Yun's anxious expression, Chen Ming sighed helplessly.

It seems that the advisor's decision was correct; the situation is indeed different now than before!

"Didn't Lord Su ask me to cooperate with your operation? I just went to see His Highness, but he didn't seem to believe me. Instead, he wanted me to investigate the assassin's origins!"

Chen Ming immediately recounted what had happened before.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun immediately frowned.

"His Highness said he wants to find out the truth within three days?"

Seeing Chen Ming nod, Su Yun's brows furrowed.

"Hmph! That's simply impossible!"

Su Yun said with a disdainful smile, "Your Highness is probably saying this on purpose."

"Lord Su! What do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately frowned.

I'm in a dilemma now. I was hoping to help them curb Yang Ling's problem, but I never expected to get involved myself.

Seeing Chen Ming's conflicted expression, Su Yun immediately came over.

"Lord Chen! Please don't be alarmed, the assassin is not from Qi at all!"

Su Yun said with a smug smile, "Don't worry, Lord Chen! Leave this matter to us to investigate, and we'll make sure to find those assassins."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming's expression immediately changed.

Su Yun and the others had come over earlier asking me to cooperate with their operation. I originally thought they wanted me to help Yang Ling investigate the assassin.

But I never expected it to turn out like this!

"Lord Su! What... are you planning to do?"

Seeing Su Yun's confident demeanor, Chen Ming became extremely nervous.

If those people from Qi were really dragged out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape the consequences myself.

But if they aren't brought to justice, they probably won't escape Yang Ling's pursuit.

This puts me in a difficult position!

Seeing Chen Ming's conflicted expression, Su Yun immediately came over.

"Don't worry! Leave this matter to me! I guarantee I'll give Lord Chen an explanation within three days."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming's expression instantly changed.

I originally thought I could help Su Yun and the others resolve the matter, but I never expected that Su Yun would make me take the blame!
