Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiaoyue did not answer him.

Boudica watched with a puzzled expression as Da Lei got into the car.

After Da Lei got into the carriage, he said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, let's go."

Boudica asked Da Lei, "Mr. Da Lei, what are you thanking him for? What did he say to you just now?"

Da Lei nodded and said to Boudica, "That's right, Ms. Boudica. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she hinted at it..."

Boudica knew that the language of the Kingdom of Sho was profound and complex, but she hadn't expected it to be this profound and complex...

Did he just say that?

Da Lei nodded and said, "She is absolutely certain that he is not here! The reason she is so sure is because she is certain that Night Cat was taken away from here, and that he was taken away while still alive."

Boudica listened with a surprised look and asked, "Big Lei, how did you figure that out?"

Da Lei said to Boudica, "Having followed you for so long, you can still understand these unspoken meanings..."

"So, I didn't just say that; I added that I thanked her. If she had denied my gratitude, then my guess would have been wrong. But since she hasn't denied it, it means my guess was correct..."

Boudica nodded after hearing what Da Lei said: "Then the Night Owl is safe, right..."

Da Lei nodded at first, then shook his head: "At least that's how it seems right now..."

Boudica nodded in agreement. "Let's go back and report first."

...

Xiao Ce didn't know why his heart was in such turmoil.

To be honest, he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

So, he's currently sitting cross-legged in meditation to calm his mind...

Nevertheless, only he himself knew that his mind was far from at peace.

The sound of a door opening made him immediately stand up.

Seeing them approaching, Xiao Ce went to greet them.

Upon seeing this, Da Lei knew that Xiao Ce was very worried.

He was also moved at that moment.

Xiao Ce's concern for the Night Cats shows that he truly considers them his own people.

He also felt that their efforts had not been in vain.

“My lord, you don’t need to worry…” Da Lei recounted what had just happened to Xiao Ce.

Including his speculation.

Boudica then looked at Xiao Ce and said, "Ce, do you think Da Lei's speculation is correct?"

Xiao Ce smiled: "Yes... absolutely right! Very accurate. Now I can rest assured. Night Owl should be out of danger."

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "How come it's become 'no danger to life' when it comes to you?"

Xiao Ce said, "Xiao Yue is Yin Pan'er's most trusted person, without exception. If Ye Mao were truly in danger, she would definitely have Xiao Yue relay the message to us. The message she sent must have been taken away..."

Boudica was truly impressed by Xiao Ce's words.

...

Inside the twin castles, Xiaoyue recounted what had just happened.

This includes relaying a message to Da Lei, and Da Lei receiving a reply.

"Sir, he seems to have listened..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "If Da Lei understood, Xiao Ce should understand even better..."

Xiaoyue asked Yin Pan'er in confusion, "Sir, how are you sure that person is alright? Are you sure that Night Cat can survive if he's taken away by that person?"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "The only thing I can say is that there's a possibility of survival..."

Xiaoyue, increasingly puzzled, asked Yin Pan'er, "Then, sir..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Yue, "Do you think Xiao Ce has a chance of winning if he really goes head-to-head with that person now? That person needs Xiao Ce to live right now; based on my guess, it seems he needs his body..."

Xiaoyue asked with even greater confusion, "His body?"

Yin Pan'er then realized she had said too much...

"Even a few words wouldn't be enough to explain... because that man who claims to be Xiao Ce has many things to do, including using that night owl..."

"That night owl is a smart guy, so I think he'll definitely be able to escape..."

Yin Pan'er then said nothing more...

Xiaoyue didn't press the matter further.

...

On the other side, Xiao Ce learned of this and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already late when Xiao Ce finally went to sleep.

Xiao Ce was half asleep, and it seemed as if he was having a dream.

In his dream, a man kept staring at him, and he woke up instinctively.

Then he saw someone standing next to him who looked exactly like him.

The person stood next to him, then put on a very strange glove.

The person who looked exactly like him simply touched his head, stared at him, and remained silent.

Xiao Ce's body felt as if it were filled with lead, and he was completely unable to move.

This feeling is strange, and the person in front of him looks exactly like him.

However, at first glance, Xiao Ce did not look like himself.

Moreover, although the person had no expression, Xiao Ce sensed a strong killing intent.

And so, they stared at each other for who knows how long.

A sound came from beside him.

"Ce!"

"Ce!"

Xiao Ce slowly woke up, only to realize it was a dream.

At this moment, Xiao Ce felt a splitting headache, and his whole body ached as if he had been hit.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"Ce, are you alright? Why are you so hot..."

Boudica said to Xiao Ce with a look of anxiety.

“You have a fever, I’ll go find a doctor for you right away,” Boudica said directly.

Xiao Ce felt as if his throat was on fire, but he could only raise his hand.

Da Lei, who was standing nearby, quickly brought over a glass of water.

Xiao Ce took it and gulped it down.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Da Lei reminded Xiao Ce that he had slept for almost a whole day and night.

They had actually come to see him once, but Xiao Ce was sleeping soundly.

So I didn't bother him.

It wasn't until earlier this evening, when Boudica came over to check on him, that she noticed Xiao Ce's furrowed brows and flushed face, and realized something was wrong.

As Xiao Ce listened, he rubbed his head and asked, "How come I got a fever with my constitution?"

Da Lei comforted him, "Sir, you've been working too hard lately, using your brain too much. Plus, the sudden disappearance of Night Owl must have made you anxious and stressed, which is probably what caused this."

Xiao Ce rubbed his head, his mind still filled with the strange dream from last night.

I subconsciously glanced at a table next to the bed.

Suddenly, something on the table caught Xiao Ce's attention, and his heart skipped a beat.
