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

This girl is a great cook! The food is so delicious that even the chefs in the palace couldn't make it.

Now that the person is gone, where is he going to find a good cook to serve his elder brother? What if... what if she's not a good cook and causes problems because of her care? That would be even more troublesome.

The Emperor glared at Prince Rong and said, "Whatever you eat, I'll eat. Do you think I'm being so fussy?"

“Brother, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but the situation is unclear right now. It’s hard to say what will happen outside. Will your stomach be able to handle it? If it can’t, and something else happens, wouldn’t that be even more troublesome? I’m doing this for your own good.”

Upon hearing these words, Du Mingxian began to worry. The Emperor's condition was indeed not good. What if... what if he ate something bad and collapsed again? That would be even more troublesome.

But she was quite worried about things back home.

When can we enter the city?

The Emperor remained silent, but Prince Rong said, “We have concerns now. The Crown Prince is in their hands. If we want to enter the city, we must first rescue him. We fear that the Tapohr will act desperately, and then things will become difficult.”

Du Mingxian frowned deeply; the Crown Prince was not someone to be saved.

"You just said you have a master with you, why don't you send your master to rescue us?"

"If we can rescue them on the first try, that's fine, but if we can't... that would be like alerting the enemy."

Du Mingxian looked at Prince Rong and felt speechless. "Then what do you want to do?"

"Our plan is to first send some people into the city to contact some loyalist officials, control them as much as possible, and then regain the initiative."

Du Mingxian stopped talking. If you want her to say something, don't look for any spies, just rescue the person directly, regardless of the cost.

Weren't they all in the Crown Prince's residence? We simply sent people to surround the Crown Prince's residence. There are no secret passages in the Crown Prince's residence. Even if we don't kill them, if we trap them for more than ten days without food, they won't survive.

Those in the palace are even easier to handle.

The emperor appeared, pointed out who had betrayed him, and ordered that those who should be imprisoned or executed be dealt with decisively. This first made people uneasy, since the matter had already happened, and there was no need to hide it.

Those who commit the most serious violence have nothing to fear from the rest. As long as they know fear, they won't dare to cause any more trouble.

But the most important thing now is that if we rush in, we will hurt the Crown Prince, and that's the most troublesome thing.

"I want to go back to the city for a visit, and then come back the day after tomorrow."

Although she didn't tell her family about her departure, Qiu Shu and the others must know and will reassure them. But not seeing it with their own eyes makes them worried and concerned.

"The city gates are closed now, how are you going to get in?"

Du Mingxian wanted to say that she could climb over the city wall by herself, but she was facing the emperor and princes. It was not good to say such a thing. What did she take the law of the country and the city wall for?

If people can come and go as they please, what kind of security is there?

At this moment, the Emperor spoke up, "Do you still remember the way you came out? If you really want to go back, then go back the way you came out."

Du Mingxian remembered, but she shook her head almost subconsciously.

She was tired of living too long, which is why she told the emperor that she remembered the way out. No matter how good the relationship was, it would not be used like that, let alone who the emperor was.

Prince Rong didn't want her to leave, so Du Mingxian could only stay obediently.

They stayed there for ten days. The emperor continued to rest and make decisions from time to time. However, the number of people around their courtyard increased, and men in black often appeared.

Since Prince Rong arrived, there have been secret guards in the courtyard, so Du Mingxian can finally get a good night's sleep.

Prince Rong was sometimes present, and sometimes he would go out on business. He seemed very busy for ten days in a row.

Game theory can be fast or slow... it could take anywhere from ten to several decades.

That night, Du Mingxian had a terrible dream. She dreamt that Ling Silang was in an accident and was covered in blood. She wanted to ask him what happened, but Ling Silang couldn't speak.

She was startled awake, her forehead covered in sweat, and she couldn't fall back asleep; her heart was pounding like a cat was scratching at her.

She couldn't wait any longer, so she got up and went out into the yard.

Prince Rong had just come out of the Emperor's room, where the lights were still on and the Emperor was not resting.

Prince Rong was quite surprised to see that Du Mingxian was still awake so late. "Still awake so late?"

Du Mingxian nodded slightly without saying much. She quickly walked to the door of the Emperor's room and made her decision, "Father, I want to go back to the city now."

She couldn't take it anymore; that dream was suffocating her. She wished she could just go back to the city and see it for a moment.

"Come in."

She went inside, and the light was bright. The Emperor noticed the sweat on her forehead. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes, my husband has been in prison for a long time, and we've been out for ten days now. The city gates still haven't opened after ten days, so I'd like to go back to the city to take a look."

“Okay, I’ll go back with you through the secret passage. If you go the wrong way alone, you’ll be doomed.”

"I won't take the secret passage, I'll walk along the city wall."

At this moment, she suddenly felt that all her previous hesitation was a joke. Worrying about this and that, she was still going to be exposed in the end.

In this era, imperial power is supreme, but if she has enough power to save her life, what can they do to her?

The Emperor immediately frowned. Du Mingxian thought he was displeased, but before she could explain, she heard him say, "The city wall is too high for ordinary people to climb. I'll have Prince Rong send experts to keep an eye on you."

"Dad, believe me, I can do it myself."

"You child..."

"I just feel anxious. I can't bear not going back to see them."

"Okay, but I'll have to send two people to follow you."

Seeing that the Emperor's attitude was firm, Du Mingxian didn't want to argue any further and finally had to agree. It didn't matter whether these two were protecting her or following her to monitor her; what mattered was that she needed to go back.

The Emperor instructed Prince Rong to arrange horses and servants for her.

Du Mingxian mounted her horse and charged forward at great speed. The two men who were following her also quickly mounted their horses and followed her.

The horse that Prince Rong gave was a good horse, but compared to the horses in the space, it was still not good enough. It didn't run fast enough, even at its limit.

She ran ahead, leaving the two behind by about two hundred meters. Seizing the opportunity, she slowed down and immediately released the horse from her spatial storage, flipped over, and put the horse that Prince Rong had prepared back into her spatial storage.

She pushed her speed to the limit this time, and in just a moment, the people behind her were left behind. No matter how hard the two tried to catch up with Du Mingxian, they couldn't, and they became more and more anxious as they chased.

Du Mingxian moved quickly, and when she was almost outside the city, she dismounted, put the horse into her spatial storage, and used her lightness skill to quickly reach the bottom of the city wall. Once she found a spot, she used her claws to hook onto the city wall, which didn't take much effort.

As she made her way into the city, she discovered that... the soldiers guarding the main street were gone; they hadn't gone home, but had gone straight to the Dali Temple prison.

In the darkness, she was wearing night vision goggles, which allowed her to see far.

Before she even got close, she realized something was wrong. The people guarding the cell door weren't the familiar faces she knew, but two tall, imposing men.

At a glance, she realized that this was not a Da Shun person, but a Tharpo person. With Tharpo people guarding the prison, how could Ling Silang possibly have anyone safe?

Instead of approaching to test the waters, she walked in openly and honestly, directly handing out two tranquilizer guns. After the person fell down, she drew her gun and cautiously entered the cell.

I saw the scene that made her blood engorged.

In his dream, Ling Shilang was covered in blood.

But now Ling Silang was placed on a shelf, covered in blood, with injuries on his face, his hair slightly disheveled, and someone was whipping him incessantly.
