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

Seeing Yin Pan'er's conflicted expression.

Xiaoyue pressed her advantage, saying, "Sir, although you have your own ideas about many things, you're often blinded by your own situation... Anyway, this is the worst possible outcome... It can't get any worse... Why not give it a try?"

Yin Pan'er was somewhat stunned as she listened to Xiao Yue's words.

She always thought she was very rational and clear-headed.

However, Xiaoyue's words made her realize something immediately.

Now that she had seen the background of the man who called himself Xiao Ce, and the power behind him, she was truly at a loss for words.

Therefore, there really is no better way.

Just then, seeing Yin Pan'er's hesitation, Xiao Yue continued, "My lord, actually, no matter which way you go, it'll be a smooth road..."

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er nodded: "Xiaoyue, let me think about it carefully..."

Xiaoyue wanted to say something, but looking at Xiaoyue's expression, she really wanted to think about it.

Xiaoyue then stopped saying anything.

Just then, Yin Pan'er said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, that's enough, it's getting late, you should go and rest..."

Xiaoyue nodded at Yin Pan'er.

Xiaoyue knew that although Yin Pan'er told her to go to sleep first, she knew very well that Yin Pan'er definitely wouldn't be able to sleep right now.

Yin Pan'er did not sleep all night.

The next morning, Xiaoyue got up early and saw Yin Pan'er's tired face as soon as she opened the door.

Xiaoyue saw that Yin Pan'er was already waiting at her door.

I was already somewhat certain in my heart.

Xiaoyue looked at Yin Pan'er with some anticipation. Yin Pan'er said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, go find him."

Xiaoyue smiled after hearing Yin Pan'er's words.

"Sir, wouldn't you like to write a letter yourself...?"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "I don't know what that person put in my arm. So, let's be on the safe side..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue nodded: "That's fine too, anyway, I know about that matter!"

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue was indeed somewhat surprised by Yin Pan'er's expression.

The reason was simple: she noticed the fear and helplessness in Yin Pan'er's eyes.

Xiaoyue knew very well that she and Yin Pan'er had been together for a long time.

Yin Pan'er has never shown such an expression, no matter what she has encountered.

The saying "concern leads to confusion" is absolutely true.

Xiaoyue took Yin Pan'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, sir. There won't be any problems!"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Okay, then you have to be careful. There are definitely a lot of spies here, and that William Barton will definitely have many spies planted among us... When you go to see Boudica, you'll always cause a lot of trouble..."

Xiaoyue smiled confidently and said to Yin Pan'er, "My lady, you trained me yourself. When you formed that all-female special forces team, I was number one. As long as I'm no match for the Void Realm, I'm confident I can escape their surveillance, even from the Shadow Guards..."

Hearing Xiaoyue say this, Yin Pan'er still believed it without a doubt.

"Then you pay attention to safety!"

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, you must not have slept all night."

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded: "That's right, I really didn't sleep all night..."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lady, don't worry, just take a nap now, and when you wake up, you'll have good news!"

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, "Okay, you know what? I was so worried I couldn't sleep at all, but after I made this decision, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders... Now, I'm relieved..."

"I should be able to get a good night's sleep now..."

Xiaoyue smiled and nodded: "Then it's okay for me to leave here, right?"

Yin Pan'er said with a smile, "Don't worry, even though that void just stands there like an idiot and doesn't respond to anything we say, it will come over immediately if I call it."

"Master Xukong!" Yin Pan'er called out.

A short while later, the door suddenly opened.

Almost instantly, the void exclaimed: "I am here!"

Seeing this, Xiaoyue was finally relieved.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ce, at Targaryen Castle, had already woken up at the crack of dawn.

He had just reached the door when he saw Da Lei, who was sleeping against the doorframe.

Da Lei woke up after hearing the door open.

In fact, Xiao Ce had mentioned this to Da Lei several times.

I told Da Lei to stop doing this all the time and that he could go to sleep alone.

As a result, Da Lei said he was used to it.

He actually sleeps like this and gets very good sleep quality; he feels very peaceful.

On the contrary, he often doesn't sleep well if he sleeps alone.

After saying it several times, Xiao Ce realized that Da Lei wasn't saying it on purpose.

He really does have this habit.

Xiao Ce simply stopped talking about it.

Seeing that Xiao Ce was up so early, Da Lei asked with some doubt, "Sir, why are you up so early?"

Xiao Ce glanced at the barely dawning sky, stretched, and then said, "I have things on my mind... I just can't sleep..."

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, are you thinking about the princess...?"

Xiao Ce was astonished after hearing Da Lei's words: "How did you know?"

Because when Boudica was trying to persuade him yesterday, Da Lei wasn't there; he was interviewing servants here.

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce, smiled knowingly, and then said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, I've been with you for so long, I know you quite well..."

"No matter what happens, I won't let you lose sleep. I certainly won't let you go to sleep with anything on your mind. The only thing that can enter your heart and make you worry is probably Princess Yin Pan'er, isn't it!"

Looking at Da Lei's expression, Xiao Ce chuckled and said, "You little rascal, it seems like you've suddenly become quite perceptive lately..."

Da Lei gave a bitter smile: "Sir, what you said is really true. It seems like I've suddenly had an epiphany. Many things that I couldn't understand before have suddenly become clear to me recently."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce said, "Oh? Then you help me analyze it, analyze it?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Alright! My lord, what do you think..."

Xiao Ce could be said to be the person he trusted most when it came to Da Lei.

Actually, Xiao Ce didn't go with Da Lei to offer advice.

He simply wanted to vent.

So Xiao Ce repeated what Boudica had said to him the day before.

After listening, Da Lei nodded.

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Don't just nod, give me some advice..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei smiled and then said, "My lord, don't you already have the answer?"

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei strangely.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, you are a man of your own mind. If you don't want to do something or think it's impossible, you will refuse directly. Now, you haven't refused, so it means you actually want to do it..."

After listening to Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce seemed to be deep in thought.

The way he speaks now truly carries a touch of Zen.

That does make some sense.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, I think Miss Boudica is right...My lord, after you and the princess got together, apart from the initial journey to the northern desert, you have been separated...Life is short, you can actually talk things out...There are things you can face together!"

"Besides, didn't you have Granny Eliza investigate yesterday? And this is the answer you gave me..."

After listening to Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.

"You really are right. Sometimes, people really are blinded by their own involvement!"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei smiled and said, "My lord, the saying 'the onlooker sees more of the game' applies to many people, but it doesn't apply to you!"

"Others are blinded by their own involvement, but you're too clear-headed. This kind of thing allows you to stay clear-headed about other things, but when it comes to emotions, you need to be emotional, not rational!"

Xiao Ce couldn't help but chuckle as Da Lei started talking about relationships.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, don't underestimate me just because I had a romance with General Dan. I've read quite a few stories, and as the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run..."

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Alright! Then I'll listen to you... However, we still need to wait for Granny Eliza to bring us news."

Da Lei nodded.

They then went for a long-distance run to exercise.

Xiao Ce then asked Da Lei about the job interview he had given yesterday.

Da Lei followed Xiao Ce's words, and those people were just as Zhen Eliza had described.

They were sent by the various families in the city of Lentini.

However, there were still some gains, including some genuine job applicants.

These people were the children of Boudica's mother Brian's former subordinates. When they heard that Boudica had arrived, they all sent their children to serve her.

After Zion Michelle harmed Boudica's mother, her mother's confidants scattered and fled, never to be seen again.

Even Eliza tried to contact them, but there was no news.

Their confidants, remembering the kindness shown to Boudica's mother, returned to Lentini after wandering for several years. Though powerless to exact revenge, they cursed Zion Michel daily, wishing him a terrible death.

Now my wish has finally come true.

These people, including Da Lei and the Shadow Guards, have all been checked and there are no problems.

Later, they followed Eliza, who also confirmed the identities of those people.

However, now we need to verify the identities of those people's parents. As long as there are no issues, they can be allowed to start working.

As he spoke, Da Lei asked Xiao Ce, "My lord, you're working so hard to help Miss Boudica choose her subordinates. Do you want Miss Boudica to stay here?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, the British Empire needs someone to control it, and I need someone from my own side. Actually, I can see that Boudica still cares a lot about all of this..."

"After all, she is from the British Empire, and now she has returned... I can see that she has a deep attachment to this place, and she wants to carry on her mother's legacy!"

"If she's willing, then of course I'll grant her wish!"

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce with a strange expression.

Looking at Da Lei's expression, Xiao Ce said, "What's wrong with you now?"

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Lord Ce, you're actually pretending to be ignorant."

Xiao Ce smiled helplessly at Da Lei: "You've really come to your senses, kid. Tell me, what made you realize that?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei seemed to fall into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, I thought, "Maybe it's after the night owls went missing..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce's expression also turned serious.

"Da Lei, will you blame me for not going to see him?"

Da Lei gave a wry smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, I had no such intention... Besides, I know you did a lot of work back then, having the Shadow Guards and Mr. Kimberly and the others use a lot of resources to search..."

"You even sent someone to deliver a message to Prince Xiao Yang of the Roman Empire, asking him to go find someone... You just didn't say it, but you never gave up... You didn't tell me, probably because you knew I was close to Wildcat, and you were probably trying to sow discord between me and my heartbreak... Actually, I know everything!"

"Back then, Night Owl kept saying that I didn't understand social etiquette, and I really didn't! Night Owl also said the same thing to me, and I don't know how it happened, but suddenly I understood a lot of things!"

Da Lei looked rather grim as he faced Xiao Ce, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he lacked the courage to utter them.

Xiao Ce actually guessed what Da Lei wanted to say.

He laughed and said, "Are you trying to say that your enlightenment was due to the spirit of the Night Owl in heaven?"

Da Lei was not surprised that Xiao Ce could see through his thoughts.

He gave a wry smile: "Yes, I've always had this bad feeling..."

Xiao Ce patted Da Lei on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Looking at Xiao Ce's resolute gaze, Da Lei asked with some doubt, "Sir, are you trying to comfort me, or do you genuinely believe he'll be alright?"

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll just say something equally mysterious!"

Da Lei saw Xiao Ce pause for a moment, then looked at him with anticipation in his eyes.

"What's so mysterious about it?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Intuition!"

Da Lei was somewhat disappointed when he heard Xiao Ce say that.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce said, "Then let's get down to business?"

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce expectantly again.

Xiao Ce said, "Because Night Cat disappeared in the Twin Fortresses where Yin Pan'er was!"
