"General Xia, you must keep your word."

"Don't worry, General Du." Taiwei Xia stroked his graying beard with a smile, "When the crown prince ascends the throne, you will naturally be a great contributor, and you will be part of the wealth and glory."

Watching General Xia walking away at great speed, Du Sheng silently clenched his fists.

Thinking of Wei Xun's intriguing expression just now, his heart seemed to sink to the bottom.

The prince's party is powerful, and even if he talks to Wei Xun, he will not be able to defeat them, not to mention that his family is in their hands.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless. It's your fault, Wei Xun, for not standing on the side of the Crown Prince."

The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves in the streets and alleys of the capital are blown away by the wind.

In just one night, a thick layer of maple leaves accumulated in front of the Rongguo Marquis Mansion.

"Liu Ling, change your clothes. I want to go out for a walk."

Rong Sheng looked at the withered branches outside the window and remembered that Wu Lin had not contacted him for a few days, so he planned to go and see his new shop.

Retracting her gaze, she slowly sat down in front of the dressing table.

In the bronze mirror, the scar on the forehead has almost healed.

He gently stroked his forehead, and suddenly remembered the warm touch of Song Xuanlin's fingertips in the Prince Ming's Mansion a few days ago, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

After returning from Prince Ming's Palace that day, she tossed and turned in bed.

When the Marquis' Mansion was destroyed, his status would naturally be no match for Song Xuanlin's.

And the person he loves in his heart is Shen Yun from his previous life, not himself.

If I told him I was Shen Yun, would he believe me...

"Hey, what are you doing here!"

Liu Ling's sudden shout interrupted Rong Sheng's thoughts.

She turned around and said, "Liu Ling, who is outside?"

But before Liu Ling could reply, the man broke into Rong Sheng's bedroom.

"Lu Yue?"

Rong Sheng looked at Lu Yue who rushed in rashly with a panicked look on his face and asked, "What happened?"

"Princess, please save my prince!" Lu Yue knelt down with a plop, and General Liu Ling was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.

"What's wrong with the prince?" Rong Sheng jumped up from his seat instantly and asked anxiously.

"At the morning court today, the prince and General Wei Xun were taken to the Dali Temple by the emperor!"

"Dali Temple?" Rong Sheng frowned in surprise. "Did anything happen at the morning court?"

"I also heard it from the palace guards. This morning, General Xia brought Du Sheng and Lei Yin to pin the crime of colluding with Nanyue on the prince and General Wei. They also found evidence in General Wei's home. The evidence is so strong that even the emperor believes it!"

"Isn't Du Sheng a master... a close confidant of General Wei? How could he be connected with General Xia?" When Rong Sheng heard that it was Du Sheng, he was even more incredulous.

She knew her master's right-hand men in the army best, because she had followed her master several times when he went south.

Therefore, she clearly remembered that Du Sheng was a kind and honest person, and he had a good understanding with his master.

On the battlefield where war was raging, Du Sheng was also the person who knew his master's combat habits best.

The master’s numerous military exploits were inseparable from the cooperation with Du Sheng.

"I guess that Du Sheng might have something on General Xia, so he betrayed General Wei." Lu Yue's words interrupted Rong Sheng's thoughts.

"It shouldn't be General Xia," Rong Sheng guessed roughly at this moment and shook his head firmly, "The person behind it should be the crown prince."

"Crown Prince?" Lu Yue scratched his head, somewhat confused. "Isn't the Crown Prince under house arrest?"

"Although the crown prince has been confined to his house, the situation in the court is now completely in the Wei family's favor. How could he give up and stay in the East Palace obediently?"

Rong Sheng's eyes gleamed, "So, the queen will definitely ask the elderly General Xia to deal with the Wei family and the prince."

Lu Yue thought about it and finally understood: "So Lei Yin wanted to help the prince because General Wei and the prince destroyed Nanyue's plan and killed Yang Zan."

"That's right," Rong Sheng nodded, but suddenly remembered something, "Lu Yue, such a big thing happened in the palace, doesn't Concubine Wei know about it?"

"My lord, Concubine Wei's injuries have mostly healed, but she still has no energy and spends more than half of her time sleeping on the bed. She should not have heard the news by now."

Ok?

Rong Sheng's brows tightened even more, and he couldn't help feeling something was a little strange.

Now, it has been more than half a month away from the birthday banquet. If Concubine Wei had taken the medicine she prescribed on time, she should have been back to normal by now. Why is she still so weak?

Something's wrong——

Her mind was spinning rapidly. Everything was so wrong.

It was also his fault that he had been concentrating on investigating the shops left behind by Princess Qingya these days, but had ignored the treachery of the Crown Prince and the Queen's gang.

"Lu Yue, is there any way you can take me to the palace secretly?"

"Of course I have," Lu Yue replied, "but why did the princess enter the palace?"

"I suspect someone has tampered with Concubine Wei's medicine. I want to go and see for myself."

"Oh, what about the prince and General Wei?"

"Let me go to the palace to see the queen first." Rong Sheng said as he picked Lu Yue up from the ground, "Take me there quickly!"

"Uh well..."

Lu Yue followed Rong Sheng into the carriage without saying anything.

The carriage galloped along.

Inside the carriage, Lu Yue handed a set of palace eunuch's clothes and a token to Rong Sheng: "Princess, take these with you, you should be able to sneak into the palace without being discovered."

"How do you have eunuch's clothes?" Rong Sheng picked up the clothes and looked left and right, asking in surprise.

"I am following the King Ming, so I have to prepare everything." Lu Yue said proudly, "Not only the eunuch's clothes, but also the palace maids' clothes. However, you are too beautiful, and it will be easy to be discovered if you are dressed as a palace maid."

"You've thought of it carefully." Rong Sheng nodded approvingly and put on his clothes without wasting a moment.

After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Princess, the palace is ahead." Lu Yue lifted the car curtain and took a look.

"Okay, I can do it myself, you don't have to follow me."

As he spoke, Rong Sheng picked up an empty lunch box that he had prepared, and walked towards the palace with his back bent, imitating the eunuch's small steps.

"The princess will definitely find a way to rescue the prince!"

Lu Yue looked at Rong Sheng's receding back, and thought of the stares that Rong Sheng and Song Xuanlin had stared at each other in the Ming Palace, and he felt extremely determined.

"My eyes will not be wrong. The princess has already fallen in love with the prince."
