The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Feeling more comfortable after taking a bath, Du Mingxian wrung out her hair and, feeling that it was about time, went to see the Emperor.

The Emperor had been keeping a close eye on the outside world. He heard two noises outside, but he couldn't make out what they were saying. He was a little anxious, but having been in a high position for so long, he remained calm.

As Du Mingxian walked in, he asked, "Did you find anything?"

"His Highness is imprisoned in the Crown Prince's cell. I tried to get close... but there are experts guarding him, so it's impossible to get near him. The other party is very quick-witted and has exceptional skills."

The Emperor's heart sank. "I don't know what method they used to take down all our secret guards, leaving us with no one to use."

Du Mingxian understood this principle: "They are reluctant to kill such experts. They just don't know where the people are being held. If they can be rescued, the Taba people can also fight them."

The Emperor remained silent, but Du Mingxian, remembering the dharma people she had seen at the Crown Prince's residence, still spoke up, "Your Highness's residence is overcrowded with dharma people."

"Moreover... I... I also saw the Third Prince talking with the eldest son of the Da Shun dynasty, the Twelfth Prince. The Twelfth Prince saw him off to the door and watched him get into the carriage."

The emperor clenched his fist on his lap, but still remained silent.

Unable to fathom what the Emperor was thinking, Du Mingxian remained silent and stood quietly.

The Emperor pondered for a while before asking, "What's the situation outside now? They've already started searching; they can't keep people from leaving their homes forever."

"I haven't inquired about what happened today yet. If there's any news later, Chunfeng and the others will report back."

"Okay, come back and let me know if you have any news."

"Yes."

"Go to sleep first."

"Yes."

When Du Mingxian came out of the Emperor's room, she saw Xiao Zhoushi playing with An'an. Seeing her son, Du Mingxian felt that she had neglected him a lot. She had been busy with all sorts of things and hadn't spent much time with her son.

An'an also saw Du Mingxian and ran over with her little legs, calling out, "Mother, Mother."

Du Mingxian bent down, picked him up, and kissed his little face. "Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely spend more time with you."

"it is good."

Seeing Du Mingxian's emotions, Xiao Zhou stepped forward to comfort her, "It's alright. Spend time with him when you have time, and go about your business when you have something to do. An'an will definitely be proud to have such a great mother."

"Second sister-in-law always knows how to speak."

"Just telling the truth, you didn't sleep again last night, did you? Go to sleep now."

"it is good."

Seeing that she was about to go inside, Xiao Zhou hurriedly called out to her, "Would you like to eat something before you go to sleep?"

"No need, I'll take a nap first."

Eating now is too much trouble, but she has ready-made food in her online space, so she can just eat a little.

Back in her room, she ate something in her spatial dimension and went to sleep. When she came out to sleep, she could still hear An'an playing happily in the yard.

She woke up in the afternoon and called out to Chunfeng.

"What's the situation outside today? Is everyone allowed to go out?"

"It's permitted, but it's divided into sections. People who have been searched are now allowed to move around, but their activity area is limited to the areas that have been searched. Those who haven't been searched will have to continue waiting."

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. "You can go down now. Prepare some food. I want to go to the prison after I eat."

"Yes."

After Du Mingxian got up and washed up, little An'an ran over and hugged Du Mingxian's leg, saying, "I miss Daddy, I miss Daddy."

Du Mingxian picked up the little one. "Your dad will be back in a couple of days. Shall we wait for him a little longer?"

"it is good."

Du Mingxian played with An'an for a little while, and then Chunfeng brought over some food. An'an pointed to Du Mingxian's stomach and ate some food, saying, "Eat, I'm hungry."

Du Mingxian was overjoyed by An'an's expression and actions. She kissed An'an on the cheek before putting her down. An'an, unable to stay still, immediately ran outside.

Outside, Ling Erlang, worried that An'an would disturb Du Mingxian, coaxed him, "An'an, come and ride a horse."

"Second Uncle, ride a horse."

Through the gap, Du Mingxian saw that Ling Erlang had An'an on his shoulders and was playing with him.

Chunfeng watched from the side and asked, "Madam, would you like some more food prepared?"

"Prepare some, prepare some for those guarding the prison."

"Yes."

After Du Mingxian finished eating, it got dark. Chunfeng handed the food to Du Mingxian and asked softly, "Madam, would you like me to go with you?"

"No need, you stay home and keep watch, the house needs someone to keep watch too."

"Yes."

Chunfeng was quite frustrated. All four of them were sent by the Crown Prince, but they often felt upset because the Lady acted alone without taking them with her.

Such a lady has always been independent and self-reliant, and her subordinates are utterly useless.

Du Mingxian didn't sense Chunfeng's dejection; she quietly left with her things.

Wen Yibin's men were still guarding the prison. Du Mingxian gave food to the men she had met before and was then taken to see Ling Silang.

Even if she was well taken care of in prison, the environment was bad, and she couldn't take a bath. As soon as Du Mingxian got close, she noticed that Ling Silang smelled sour.

Ling Silang probably knew it himself, so when Du Mingxian approached him, he quickly took a step back, saying, "Don't come any closer, let's talk from a distance."

Du Mingxian's eyes held a hint of mockery. "Stand a little further away, and your voice will be louder. Are you sure you want me to say things very loudly?"

Ling Silang still resisted, "You can hear me if you say so, but it's the same if you whisper."

"But I just want to get closer to talk to you." Du Mingxian moved closer, and although it smelled bad, it wasn't particularly bad.

Ling Silang retreated to the base of the wall, with nowhere left to go. Seeing that she was still moving forward, he felt more helpless and didn't know what to say. "Why won't you listen?"

"What do you want me to hear?" Du Mingxian leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you so afraid that I'll smell your stench?"

Ling Silang felt awkward. Du Mingxian, who was also thinking about teasing him, realized she had other things to do later. She asked softly, "Do you want to go into the space to take a bath?"

Ling Silang didn't want to go, but he really felt very uncomfortable.

"Go take a shower, but don't wash your hair, and change your clothes underneath. That will make you more comfortable."

"Row."

Du Mingxian said, "You go ahead, I'll stay outside and keep watch."

"it is good."

While they were talking, no one came over, so Du Mingxian stood guard outside. The jailer at the very back was unaware that Ling Silang had suddenly disappeared.

Fearing discovery, Ling Silang acted quickly. After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, he called out in the space, "I'm ready."

Du Mingxian led the person out, and the smell on her body had faded considerably. "The Crown Prince is being held in the Crown Prince's prison. The prison is located near the rockery, and there are guards there, so I can't get close."

Ling Silang's heart jumped. He grabbed Du Mingxian's hand and said, "If you can't get close, then don't. Your safety is the most important thing."

"I know, don't worry. I went into the space last night when I saw something was wrong. I won't go back tonight." Yesterday's experience was enough; it was truly a brush with death.
