"Your Highness, rest assured. My godfather, Lord Wen, goes to speak with the Emperor every day. He must be discussing how to retaliate. One is the Emperor, and the other is the Minister. They must have a plan."

The crown prince chuckled, "You're quite confident."

"Your Highness, who are the Emperor and the Minister? As a commoner, I naturally trust them." Du Mingxian spoke with utmost sincerity.

The Crown Prince had been in a bad mood ever since the incident, but seeing Du Mingxian now and knowing that the Emperor was alright made him feel a little better.

“The people around us have long been controlled by them, and I’m afraid some of them have already been turned. We don’t know what will happen next.”

"Don't worry, they will plan it, and so can we. It will all be alright," Du Mingxian reassured him, and the Crown Prince could say nothing more.

The two chatted for a while longer before Du Mingxian suggested leaving. "If things aren't strict by tomorrow night, I'll try to bring my husband in so His Highness can see him again. Just make sure no one notices anything amiss during this time."

"Okay, don't worry. Leave early and be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Du Mingxian left quietly, and her departure from the palace went smoothly as usual.

Ling Silang woke up after arriving home. He was always worried about her not being there, but he felt relieved to see that she was back safe and sound.

Du Mingxian couldn't sleep, but she wasn't in a hurry to talk about the Crown Prince. It was too late, and if she talked about Ling Silang, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep. She decided to wait until tomorrow.

She pretended nothing had happened. When Ling Silang went to work the next day, Du Mingxian still didn't say anything. After everyone left, she didn't go to tell the Emperor either, until Ling Silang returned in the afternoon.

She then pulled the person into the room and recounted what had happened the previous night.

"Those people are being strict because something was lost. There aren't enough people, so a lot of people have been transferred from the palace. Now there's no one walking around outside, and no one has noticed that there are fewer guards in the palace."

“Yesterday I saw that old man talking to another person, who should be the one who really set up the scheme behind Da Shun.”

"At the time, I was in a hurry to find the Crown Prince, but I couldn't see inside the hole I poked, so... I could only anxiously wait outside. Later, I quickly left to find the Crown Prince, and I didn't know who that person was."

Ling Silang, however, sensed something else in his voice: "Is it very dangerous?"

Du Mingxian immediately felt guilty, "It's not dangerous, you know I have a spatial dimension, I can hide in it if there's any danger."

"What if there's someone even more skilled than you? What if their martial arts are superior, and you don't have time to dodge?"

"Then just shoot him. You know I have guns in my spatial storage, what's there to be afraid of? Aren't you worried at all?" Du Mingxian said casually.

Ling Silang looked at her solemnly, "Promise me you won't do anything dangerous in the future."

"Really... it's just average, not very dangerous. I was just thinking... to find the Crown Prince as soon as possible, and once everything is on track, that's good. What would happen to so many people if something went wrong?"

"What I'm doing now is not just saving others, but also saving myself." Du Mingxian said earnestly, also to reassure Ling Silang.

Ling Silang looked at her without saying a word.

Du Mingxian reached out and hugged him, her voice soft, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself. I have a loving family, a lover, and a child. How could I bear to let anything happen to me?"

"Besides, once everything settles down, I'd like to have another daughter."

Seeing how serious she was, Ling Silang couldn't bear to scold her, but he still repeatedly warned her, "You must be careful, you absolutely cannot get into trouble. You must remember, if something really happens to you, I won't be able to live."

"Okay, don't worry, I have your life on my shoulders, I will definitely take good care of myself." Seeing Ling Silang like this, Du Mingxian could only speak up quickly, "Well, it's very tense outside, but it's relaxed in the palace. I saw yesterday that the Crown Prince's condition was not very good, and I was thinking of taking you to see the Crown Prince today."

Ling Silang had no doubts; he also wanted to go with Du Mingxian to see if the palace was as relaxed as she had described. "Okay, I'll go with you, but I'll stay outside."

"It won't work outside. I can't carry you alone with my light-footed skills, and the rules are strict outside."

"I want to see how strict things are outside."

Du Mingxian had nothing to say. "Then be careful in everything. If anything seems wrong, I'll send you into my spatial dimension."

"Row."

"Let's go eat first. After we finish eating, we'll go see the Emperor and tell him about our plans to enter the palace. We'll see what his arrangements are."

"it is good."

After the two finished their meal, they went to find the Emperor.

The Emperor has been staying for so many days, and the two of them rarely come to see him at the same time. It's quite a surprise that they've come together now. "Did you come together for something?"

"The Crown Prince is injured, and we wish to enter the palace to visit him. Do you have any message to convey to His Highness?"

The Emperor was surprised, but he did not stop them. "Be careful. I will write a letter, and you can take it in to him."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian went to get paper and pen, and Ling Silang helped her up. When the Emperor was writing a letter, the two of them went out. After a while, the Emperor called for people in the room, and the two of them went back in.

The Emperor handed the letter to Ling Silang, saying, "Give this letter to him and let him see his injuries. I trust your medical skills."

Ling Silang solemnly accepted the letter and helped the Emperor walk to the bedside. "Don't worry, we will definitely see the Crown Prince."

"Okay, be careful."

The two slept in the room for two hours before secretly entering the palace.

When they went out, Du Mingxian took Ling Silang with her.

Her lightness skill was ultimately not good enough; it wasn't as good as Qiu Shu's and the others'. She had only learned it later, so it was a bit difficult for her. There were also many people on the street, so Ling Silang was sent into the space.

Once they reached the palace walls, Du Mingxian climbed up and brought Ling Silang out. Then she flew down with him and led him all the way to the palace where the Crown Prince was currently residing.

Fortunately, there weren't many people inside, so Du Mingxian and Ling Silang walked openly in the courtyard and then entered the hall.

A candle was still lit on the prince's bedside. Hearing a noise, he turned around and saw the two people. His eyes lit up instantly.

After Du Mingxian left last night, he kept thinking about whether they could come in tonight. He couldn't sleep at all, wanting them to come in, but also afraid that they would risk breaking into the palace and causing some accident.

I was so conflicted, but seeing the two of them come in made all my worries disappear, leaving only joy.

"You've come." He struggled to get up, and Ling Silang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Du Mingxian went to the side to light a lamp and placed the medicine box she had taken out of her space before entering on the small table. Ling Silang was already taking the Crown Prince's pulse.

After taking his pulse, Ling Silang went to the side, and Du Mingxian took out paper and pen. He wrote a prescription and handed it to Du Mingxian, saying, "Get the medicine according to this."

"Okay, be careful, I'll go out and brew the medicine."
