Su Heng was happily talking with several court officials at the same table when Su Xiuyuan strode in hurriedly from outside.

"Father, Prince Jing really followed His Majesty and did not lock up Su Lingyue's room." He whispered in Su Heng's ear.

The smile on Su Heng's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes gradually became sinister.

"My Lords, I have something to do, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he left the hall with Su Xiuyuan.

Xiao Changan had been waiting in the dark outside the Sutra Repository. Not long after Wang Qing went up, the emperor and Eunuch Wan came down.

There is another person behind them, it’s Xiao Changshi!

Xiao Changan didn't know what was going on, and he actually wanted the emperor to deal with it personally.

Wang Qing hadn't left yet, so something must have happened. He planned to hide in the dark and wait until the emperor left to go up and take a look.

"Help... help..."

The emperor and Xiao Changshi were on their way back to the Observation Pavilion when they suddenly heard a cry for help.

"Where does the cry for help come from?" the emperor frowned and asked Eunuch Wan.

Eunuch Wan pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then said, "It seems to be coming from the pond nearby. I'll go take a look."

The emperor nodded, and Eunuch Wan walked towards the pond with a lantern.

He shone the lantern forward and was suddenly startled, "Oh no! Your Majesty, this is bad! It's the Crown Princess!"

"What?!" The emperor couldn't believe it. Shouldn't the Crown Princess be in the Observation Pavilion?

Xiao Changshi's heart tightened. Without saying a word, he hurriedly ran towards Eunuch Wan. He was not paying attention and fell heavily to the ground and slid to the edge of the pond.

With the dim light of the lantern, Xiao Changshi could clearly see the person in the pond.

It was Su Nanxing and her maid.

Su Nanxing was lying on the ice with a pool of blood under her. Her maid was weakly shouting for help.

"Xing'er!" Xiao Changshi shouted, his eyes wide open, and crawled to Su Nanxing and picked her up.

"Xing'er, wake up!"

"Xing'er, don't scare me!"

However, no matter how Xiao Changshi shouted, Su Nanxing showed no sign of life.

"Eunuch Wan, quickly call the imperial physician!" Xiao Changshi shouted to Eunuch Wan.

Eunuch Wan ordered the two eunuchs beside him, "Go and help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carry the Crown Princess out!"

After giving the order, he trotted all the way to the residence of the imperial doctors.

With the help of two eunuchs, Xiao Changshi trembled as he carried Su Nanxing out of the pond.

Su Nanxing would appear here, needless to say, he must be going to the Sutra Repository.

"Father, what should I do? What should I do?" Xiao Changshi was trembling all over. He looked at the emperor helplessly, and then at Su Nanxing who was unconscious in his arms.

The emperor came over and saw the pale face and the scar running through his face. He took a few steps back in fear and covered his nose with his hands in disgust.

"Take the person back first!" said the emperor coldly.

After receiving the emperor's order, Xiao Changshi took action, holding Su Nanxing and running towards the palace like crazy.

After all these things, the emperor no longer had the heart to attend the banquet and was helped back to the palace by the eunuchs.

After seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Changan came out from the darkness and went up to the Sutra Library.

"Father, father, please believe me, I really did not seduce the prince!"

"The evidence is irrefutable! You still have the nerve to argue!"

A crisp slapping sound was heard outside the house.

"Father, I really didn't. I don't know how it happened. I just woke up like this! If you don't believe me...if you do, ask my maid!"

"Yes, sir, the young lady and I are really wronged!"

"That's enough! The daughter of the Minister of Revenue is going to be someone's concubine. Don't you think it's shameful enough?"

"From today on, you are not allowed to leave the room! Help her back!" Wang Qing shouted.

The sound of a woman sobbing was heard from inside, and the door opened.

Wang Jingshu and Wang Qing were both stunned when they saw Xiao Changan at the door.

Xiao Changan is still as elegant, tall, graceful and gentle as ever.

With the light behind her, Wang Jingshu couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Your Highness, I..."

Wang Jingshu's whole body was cold, and her blood seemed to be so cold that it was about to freeze into ice.

She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

No matter how much she likes him, she is completely unworthy of His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

Her dreams for the rest of her life were shattered at this moment.

Wang Qing lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "After what happened today, I really can't face Your Highness."

Through their conversation just now, Xiao Changan already understood what had happened.

Hatred surged in his heart.

However, after living in the palace for more than ten years, he had already learned to hide his emotions.

Xiao Changan said in a gentle voice: "Jingshu, Lord Wang, you two should go back and rest first. We will talk another day. I'm afraid it's not peaceful outside tonight."

After saying this, he turned around and left the Sutra Library without looking back.

Wang Jingshu looked at the figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, collapsed to the ground, and completely fainted.

In the dark night, under the dim lights, several figures shuttled through Longhua Temple, running quickly.

They ran around searching, not missing a single corner they passed and taking a careful look at every one of them.

Xiao Yu rested his hands on the cold marble railing, gasping for breath, his body trembling slightly.

He searched everywhere he could, but there was no news of Su Lingyue.

Xiao Yu was really scared at this time.

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of torture Su Lingyue was suffering at this moment.

There are only a few guards around the Observation Pavilion today.

Under normal circumstances, there would not be only these few guards where the emperor is.

In addition, after entering the Observation Pavilion, the emperor forced them to drink. He should have realized something was wrong earlier.

The problem must be in the wine.

No one knows what happened afterwards, which gave Su Nanxing an opportunity to take advantage of.

Su Nanxing should have done this at the behest of Su Heng, and Su Heng always obeyed the emperor.

The emperor did this with the real purpose of dealing with him.

As long as he takes the initiative to die, Yue'er should have a chance of survival.

Xiao Yu arrived at the place where he was to meet Yan Qingyunting and Ji Tang and waited for a while. At the agreed time, the three of them rushed over from other places.

"My Lord, I didn't find it."

"Same here."

"Same here."

Yan Qing punched a thick tree beside him with hatred, and the trunk made a cracking sound.

Ji Tang's face was gloomy, he clenched his fists, and tried hard to suppress the anger surging in his body.

Yun Ting looked coldly and walked to Xiao Yu's side to help him stand firm.

Xiao Yu calmed down, took two breaths, and then said, "Listen to me, the emperor is targeting me. I will go to the Observation Pavilion to find him now. You guys stay outside and I will find them."

"But... Prince, he kidnapped the princess and it is obvious that he is targeting you!" Yan Qing looked at him with red eyes and said unwillingly.

Xiao Yu smiled weakly, "I'm already like this, death is only a matter of time, I'll explain what's going to happen in the future to you."

……

"Okay, that's it. Yan Qing, you must listen to Yun Ting from now on, okay?" Xiao Yu looked at Yan Qing who was wiping her tears and reminded him softly.

"Ji Tang, you belong to Yue'er, she is your master, protecting her is your top priority, you must fulfill your responsibilities."

"Yun Ting, among these people, you are the most stable and careful. You should worry more about them in the future."

Yun Ting held Xiao Yu's red eyes and lowered head, and nodded silently.

"Let's go."
