Elegant courtyard. The handsome man stood with his hands in his hands. Wait for news from outside.

"My lord. There is nothing unusual in Kyoto."

There are no anomalies. Could it be said. The prince is really reluctant to show his face. Ji Jin only thinks. Dongfang Xu even resented in his heart. Nor should you lose your mind. And the calmer it is outside. The more it represents that someone did it deliberately.

Ji Jin wandered a few steps. I thought that the other party was so clean and left no traces. So what should I do? in order to lead the other party to show their feet.

And at this time. Ji Jin has already decided that the crown prince is still alive. Otherwise. The other party will definitely expose the prince's body to everyone's eyes. Cause a panic. to achieve their purpose. Maybe at this point. The prince is also trying to return to the palace.

But Ji Jin understands. Today's Chenguo Imperial Palace is not safe. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Emperor Chen and Queen Chen. Wait for your time. If the crown prince appears in the palace. The other party is only afraid that they will take risks and come to a coup d'état.

What to do. in order to stabilize the situation. Ji Jin's mind spun quickly. The first priority is to find the crown prince to ensure his safety. Then quietly take him into the palace. Give it to the Queen Mother. Every qiē must be carried out without the enemy noticing.

The man stopped suddenly. He looked back at the guard. Immediately ordered someone to make up a number of portraits of the prince. Look for it in the streets. Don't reveal the identity of the prince."

"Adult ......" should be so open-minded in searching for people.

Ji Jin a gesture. The guard knew that the prime minister had made a decision.

Since unannounced visits are useless. Then be clear. The other party must not have expected that he would be so open-minded in search of people on the streets of Kyoto. In this way, you can disturb the other person's mind. There may be an unexpected receipt.

And Ji Jin has already thought of it far away. If only he could find the prince. Then it will continue to be ordered to search for people in the streets. Drop a smoke grenade on the enemy. Then quietly brought the prince into the palace. Lower the alertness of the other person.

And now he can do it. Only waited.

……

"Have you ever seen this person?"

"I haven't seen ......"

This day. Suddenly there were many men looking for people everywhere with portraits on the streets. A few strange sights were cast from all directions. Take a closer look. You will find the street vendors with strange looks. The work in my hands is a little rusty. Just focus on the movement of that group of people.

"Your Highness. The prime minister seems to have made a move." The Shadow soon returned from outside. informed Dongfang Xu of the news.

If suddenly there is a man in front of them who has come to look for the prince. Then Dongfang Xu may not necessarily believe it. Because it is very likely that the enemy sent it. But for now. But he was sure that the people on the street were from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Only the imperial court would search for people so openly.

Dongfang Xu immediately changed into the coarse cloth clothes that the shadow brought back. But suddenly he realized something. The Shadow lost an arm. It's too eye-catching to appear on the street. You will definitely reveal your identity.

However, the other side seems to have thought of this as well." Your Highness. Your subordinates will protect you in the dark. Wait for His Highness to arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion safely. The subordinates went back to the bamboo courtyard and waited for news."

Dongfang Xu's eyes were a little hesitant. And yet he understood. Acting alone will reduce the danger of two people traveling together. And Dongfang Xu also knows. If he had rushed straight to the crowd to identify himself. It's going to kill you. You have to think of a way. Able to inform them subtly.

"Have you ever seen this person?"

"Nope. I haven't seen ......."

The old woman waved her hand. Walk away from the side with a little trouble. The plainclothes guard sighed softly. If His Highness the Crown Prince sees them. Can you still take the initiative to walk in front of him? I don't know how much eyeliner is hidden on this street. It's not easy to find out His Highness without knowing it.

Then. A woodcutter carrying firewood on his back walked slowly. He also has a sickle around his waist.

However, when passing by his side. The woodcutter bumped into a man next to him. The dry wood on his back fell to the ground in an instant." Yes...... This...... Son. I'm so sorry......" a weak voice sounded. The man gave him a disdainful look. Reached out and wiped the soiled shoulder. He walked away silently.

The woodcutter lowered his head and picked up the dry wood on the ground alone. A pair of hands appeared in front of him. Helped him clean up. Then he looked up. Then he saw the strange man in front of him smiling kindly at him." Uncle. I didn't hurt it."

"Huh. Nope. Nope."

"Has Uncle seen this person?" The man handed the portrait in his hand. The woodcutter frowned and looked at it carefully for a moment. The movement here has attracted a lot of meaningful attention. After a long time. The woodcutter shook his head. I was dazzled. Can not see clearly. I don't recognize it. I don't recognize it."

The woodcutter pushed the portrait back apologetically. The palm seemed to inadvertently rub the back of the man's hand.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes. Then he enthusiastically helped the woodcutter up. The other person raised his eyes. There was a glint in those deep eyes." Thank you, childe......"

“…… You're welcome, uncle."

The woodcutter rearranges the firewood. He walked slowly towards a restaurant.

The man reacted immediately. Retract their gaze. He continued to hold the portrait and asked the people around him. Until those eyes focused on him gradually faded away. The man glanced out of the corner of his eye in the direction where the woodcutter had left.

"What a substitution today. What about Lao Liu?"

The shopkeeper looked at the woodcutter in front of him suspiciously. The other person smiled. Lao Liu is sick. I'll help him bring him the dry firewood."

"Okay. Let's go inside. There's a fire waiting in the dining room."

Subsequently. A man stepped in. The shopkeeper greeted him warmly." Son. I still order food at the hotel."

"Find someone." Only one sentence remains. The man turned into a gust of wind. Disappear in front of the shopkeeper. Soon. Next to the son who just went in. There was another strange man standing. The shopkeeper was slightly stunned. Odd. He didn't see anyone else go in. However. He didn't notice the strange man's feet. He was wearing the woodcutter's tattered straw sandals.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ji Jin in the courtyard saw at a glance that the plainclothes guards were followed by a strange man coming from a distance. The man's eyes were familiar. And the dress on the body is a little weird. It seems that somewhere is not very coordinated.

Until the other person stands in front of him. Ji Jincai noticed something unusual.

Obviously, he was wearing a clean coarse cloth coat. But he wore a pair of broken shoes underneath his feet. Present. Ji Jin understood something." Your Highness."

Dongfang Xu took a deep breath. Ji Daren. What happened in the palace?" His voice was as handsome as it had been before. and the hoarse old man of Fang Cai is like two people.

"Come on. Take Your Highness in and change your clothes first."

Only the plainclothes guard was left in the courtyard. He took a respectful step forward. Thanks to His Highness's resourcefulness. Only then will his subordinates recognize him."

Original. That woodcutter is played by Dongfang Xu. He deliberately dropped dry wood on the guard's side. Just to attract his attention and take the opportunity to approach. Just when the portrait was returned. Dongfang Xu deliberately touched the other party's skin with his palm. Because as long as you are a person who practices martial arts. You can tell that the callus in his palm is caused by holding a sword for many years. Instead of holding a scythe.

There are only such hints. to avoid those eyes and ears.

Wash off the mock mask on your face. The handsome man with a pale face appeared in front of Ji Jin again. looked at Dongfang Xu's bloodless thin lips. Ji Jin couldn't help frowning. His Highness is wounded."

"A little injury. What happened in the palace? This temple commands that you shall not conceal it."

He said so lightly. However, Ji Jin saw the exhaustion after the wind and rain in his eyes. Apparently something extremely dangerous happened to the prince. He didn't even know about the upheaval in the palace. It can be seen these days. The prince is hiding in an extremely closed environment.

"The emperor is still not sober. And the queen ...... Someone washed the Phoenix Hall in blood."

What does it mean to wash the phoenix hall in blood...... Dongfang Xu was shocked. He didn't dare to imagine the meaning of Ji Jin's words.

Ji Jin looked at Dongfang Xu's sudden face. After a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth. The queen is unconscious. At death's door. Now it is the Queen Mother who listens to the government. Your Highness. This time, the other party really wants to kill you."

Although he didn't know who did it. But the other party's purpose Ji Jin has seen it very clearly. Get rid of the emperor and queen. Get rid of the prince. What the other party wants is the country of Chen. Other than that. The Queen's condition is so miserable. Ji Jin has another idea.

"I don't know if Your Highness knows...... The queen has no enemies?"

Dongfang Xu couldn't describe his mood at this time. I'm only afraid of the situation of the queen mother. His eyes flickered, as if he was trying his best to remember something.

"Over the years. The queen mother is extremely tolerant in everything...... "There shouldn't be any enemies.

Ji Jin pondered for a moment. The Queen's Legs ...... Scrapped."

"What are you talking about" Dongfang Xu suddenly stretched out his hand and clasped Ji Jin's shoulders tightly. His eyes were bloodshot.

"The inner bones of the queen's legs are shattered. He was also seriously injured and unconscious. Your Highness has no idea?"

Broken bones in both legs...... He seemed to have something in mind. Slowly let go of his hand. The trembling thin lips gently spat out two words. Concubine Mei."

Concubine Mei. Time. Ji Jin only felt that this person was a little strange. There doesn't seem to be such a concubine in the palace. Wrong...... Something seems to have flashed through my mind. Could it be that Concubine Mei that His Highness said in his mouth. It's the princess of the Lotus Kingdom who was executed many years ago.

Taboo about this Tatsu country. Ji Jin also learned about it by chance. But hasn't the other party been executed for years?

The Queen's words echoed clearly in my ears. Dongfang Xu couldn't believe this fact." How many people are waiting for you to take the wrong step. How many people want the lives of our mothers and children? Prince. Even if it's for the sake of the queen mother......"

But the result. But it was still himself who pushed the queen mother to a dangerous cliff.

"It's me...... Hurt the queen mother......"
