Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Hearing these words, the Anqi's heart suddenly tightened, and he silently cursed that things were bad.

He knew well the importance of this mission; he had originally come at his master's command to deliver orders, but he had never expected things to develop into such a terrible state.

Now his master's whereabouts were unknown, while he himself had inexplicably become a scapegoat, and what awaited him next was likely a brutal and inhumane torture.

Thinking of this, the Anqi dared not hesitate in the slightest; he made a snap decision to immediately use his qinggong supreme skill to escape this place of trouble.

He no longer cared about the lives of those others; after all, at this critical moment of life and death, saving his own life was the most important thing!

However, how could Ai Jiao be an ordinary person? In fact, he had long suspected the black-clothed person beside him and had been secretly observing his every move.

When Yu Min said the Anqi had come to deliver news, Ai Jiao took the opportunity to glance at that Anqi. Just as the Anqi leapt up, preparing to flee, at almost the same instant, Ai Jiao acted as swiftly as lightning.

This series of movements was too fast, too sudden, leaving no time to react. The Anqi hadn't even managed to run far before he felt his body seized by a powerful force, completely unable to move.

At the moment of being caught, despair surged in the Anqi's heart: "It's over, it's really over this time!" He knew well how miserable his fate would be after falling into enemy hands, so in the blink of an eye, he made a decision—gritting his teeth, he swallowed the deadly poison hidden in his teeth.

Just as Ai Jiao turned the Anqi around, an astonishing sight appeared before his eyes: blood flowed from the Anqi's mouth, under his nose, and even from the corners of his eyes. The shocking scene made Ai Jiao cry out involuntarily: "Damn, what kind of medicine is this? It acts so fast!"

Ai Jiao was badly frightened; he hurriedly threw the Anqi to one side as if he were a hot potato. But just then, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a figure not far away—it was Yan Wang!

Two soldiers followed closely behind Yan Wang, each dragging an unconscious person. Ai Jiao looked closely and saw that one of those being dragged should be the Cishi of Fu Zhou! The man was dragged like a dead dog, with no dignity at all.

After seeing this scene, Yu Min could no longer bear it; her vision went black and she fainted. Dan Yuan, seeing this, hurried forward to support her, pinching her philtrum while anxiously shouting: "Mother, mother, wake up!"

It had to be said, Dan Yuan's grip was strong; this pinch actually woke Yu Min up.

Yu Min slowly opened her eyes and found herself face to face with Yan Wang, who had come up front. Yu Min thought to herself, I really should thank you, but I'd rather you let me faint.

Seeing this, Ai Jiao immediately shouted excitedly: "Wang, you're really amazing!"

Yan Wang said with a solemn expression: "Fortunately, we arrived in time this time and didn't let that guy escape." His tone carried a hint of relief.

Ai Jiao beside him quickly chimed in: "Yes, it was really dangerous!" Then he shouted loudly: "Someone! Take all these people away!"

Hearing the order, several nearby soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!" Then they quickly stepped forward and escorted the tied-up people away.

Ai Jiao glanced at the Cishi Fu and added: "As for this Cishi Fu, there's no need to surround it anymore."

"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly again.

After everything was properly arranged, Yan Wang and Ai Jiao led the troops, escorting the prisoners toward the Jun Ying.

On the way back, Dan Jiajie slowly woke up. His head was still a bit dizzy, but when he realized his situation, his heart sank—his plot had been exposed, and he was definitely done for!

However, Dan Jiajie then thought: Prince Li was still around; he should try to find a way to save him, right? Thinking of this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to consider how to deal with what came next.

At this time, the person who had delivered news to Dan Jiajie—Prince Li's trusted aide Na Ren—also woke up. He looked around and quickly understood his situation, unable to help but silently curse his misfortune.

Na Ren and Dan Jiajie exchanged a glance, the two tacitly understanding each other, and began whispering and muttering to one another.

Although Yan Wang and Ai Jiao walked at the very front of the group, their ears remained perked up, paying attention to the movements behind them.

When the soldiers came to report that Dan Jiajie and Na Ren had woken up, the two exchanged a glance and tacitly decided to pretend not to know for now, continuing to eavesdrop on their conversation to see if they could hear any useful information.

However, since the distance was somewhat far, and the two men's voices were too soft, Yan Wang and Ai Jiao, despite straining their ears, still couldn't hear anything clearly.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yan Wang and Ai Jiao finally decided to return to the Jun Ying and interrogate the two more deeply. Not long after, the huge Jun Ying appeared before their eyes.

The moment they stepped into the Jun Ying, Tang Qi came up to meet them with a sense of relief, anxiously saying to Yan Wang: "Wang, I just received news that Prince Li is dead!"

"What?" Ai Jiao cried out in surprise, his voice so loud that it drew Dan Jiajie and Na Ren over, both showing the same puzzled expression on their faces.

Yan Wang's eyebrows also furrowed tightly, and he asked in disbelief: "How did he die?"

Tang Qi's expression was somewhat grim; he hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "It is said he was killed by one of his concubines."

"Ah?" Ai Jiao's surprise was plain to see: "Is this too outrageous? He just died like that? It can't be real, can it?"

Tang Qi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I also feel it doesn't seem real, so I have already sent people to investigate further."

Yan Wang nodded, indicating agreement, then decisively said: "Hmm, forget about that for now; the urgent matter is to interrogate them both first." Having said this, his gaze was like a torch, falling directly on Dan Jiajie and Na Ren.

In an instant, everyone's attention focused on these two people.

After Dan Jiajie and Na Ren exchanged a glance, a silent communication seemed to pass between them, as if both were expressing doubt about the news that "Prince Li is dead."

Na Ren looked at Dan Jiajie, his eyes showing an expression of disbelief, as if responding to him: "This can't be right? It must be fake news!"
