Wu Ze slowly woke up, only to find that the severe pain that had been following him all over his body had miraculously dissipated. In a trance, he recalled that when he was unconscious, there seemed to be a strange fragrance that came from nowhere, but he could not find the source.

The fragrance seemed to have some mysterious power that healed his pain, but it also made him feel a little lost.

Just as he was immersed in these complicated emotions, a burst of noise suddenly came from the direction of the Ming Mansion where he had just escaped.

Wu Ze came to his senses instantly, his eyes flashed, and he jumped up from the ground nimbly. After looking around, he ran towards the only corridor leading to the suburbs without hesitation.

That was the direction the little cub had just left. He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead.

Less than a moment after he left, Yan Chi led the team and hurried over.

Yan Chi followed the blood trail left by Wu Ze all the way here, but the blood trail disappeared mysteriously and the clue was suddenly interrupted.

Yan Chi's face instantly turned livid, his eyes filled with resentment and anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "He let this guy escape again!"

Then, he quickly gave the order: "A few of you, lead the others to chase along this road, and the rest of you search the surrounding area carefully. I don't believe that we can't find this witch clan remnant even if we dig three feet into the ground!"

"Yes!" The people behind him took the order and acted quickly. Some of them chased in the direction Wu Ze fled, while the others began a carpet search in the surrounding area.

At the same time, in the inner courtyard of Ming Mansion.

Mingxu, who was awakened by the noise outside, sat up suddenly from the bed and subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where Wu Ze was lying. He saw that there was no one there, and Wu Ze had disappeared.

Mingxu's heart tightened, and anxiety surged in his heart. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Ze, who was not polite to him, he never really wanted Wu Ze to be arrested by the government. After all, he was still counting on Wu Ze to help him with strategies and seize the throne of Emperor Dayu from Ming Yunqi!

Listening to the shouting and killing outside, Mingxu was extremely anxious. Wu Ze must not die like this! He got up from the bed anxiously, without taking the time to tidy up his clothes, and planned to go out to meet Wu Ze and help him escape.

Mingxu knew that as long as Wu Ze could successfully escape this time, he would be able to hide perfectly in Qingzhou City with his own ability three years later. By then, Ming Yunqi would be unconscious due to an accident, and the Ming clan would also undergo changes. Mingxu would be remembered by Ming Yunqi for saving him this time, and this favor would become an important cornerstone for him to ascend to the throne in the future.

As for why Wu Ze did not ascend the throne directly, the reason is obvious.

Mingxu is a descendant of the Ming family and has a good family background; while Wuze is a remnant of the previous dynasty. No matter how capable he is, if he were to ascend the throne and become emperor, not only would those courtiers and generals loyal to Ming Yunqi strongly oppose it, but even those ministers who usually play it safe and turn a blind eye would never be willing to bear the stigma of being a minister of the country's demise, and would not tolerate such a heinous act as bringing the remnants of the previous dynasty into the palace to force him to abdicate.

But if Mingxu ascended the throne, they could continue to gain a foothold in the court under the banner of following the orthodoxy. After all, Wu Ze, as a criminal slave of the previous dynasty, had no right to make these ministers submit. In the situation of internal and external troubles, Mingxu was undoubtedly the best choice that all parties could reluctantly accept.

However, before Mingxu could step out of the room, the door was pushed open by a huge force. A small figure rushed in like a cannonball. It was Mingyao.

Without saying a word, he pushed Mingxu violently. Mingxu was caught off guard by this sudden push, and he rolled off the bed, and his head hit the floor with a heavy "bang".

"Ah! Young master, are you okay?" Seeing this, the maidservant beside her turned pale with fright and hurried forward to check.

The piercing pain made Mingxu a little dazed for a moment, and Mingyao, who had caused trouble, was also stunned by this sudden situation. His eyes flickered slightly, and he was obviously a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and quickly hid behind the wet nurse who was following him, shouting in a timid manner:

"It's all your fault! Why do you bring so many people home? Do you know that you almost killed Grandfather, Daddy and Mommy?" Mingyao said while secretly observing Mingxu's reaction. He was actually a little worried. He knew that Daddy and Mommy loved him the most. This little brother was usually too quiet, which always made Daddy and Grandfather sigh.

"Grandfather said that you will have to rely on me for your living in the future. I warn you, don't even think about complaining to grandfather and the others. Even if they know that I pushed you down, so what? I am the most talented person in our Ming family, and was chosen by my uncle to enter the palace. You look so silly, and it's really annoying sometimes. If you make me unhappy, I will kick you out of the Ming family, humph!" Ming Yao became more and more proud as he spoke, with his chin slightly raised, looking superior.

"Who do you want to drive out, Yaoer?" A teasing voice came from the door. Ming Youzong strode in, his eyes went straight past the fallen Mingxu, as if Mingxu didn't exist at all, and walked directly to Mingyao, picked him up, and held him high above his head.

Mingyao immediately burst into laughter, and the scene between the grandparents and grandchildren was harmonious and joyful, but no one noticed Mingxu, who lowered his head and clenched his fists. At this moment, Mingxu's eyes were full of darkness, and the deep expression was completely unlike that of a four-year-old child.

"Xu'er, Yao'er is still young and childish. Although what he said was a little harsh, it was for your own good. You have to be a good boy in the future, okay?" Ming Youzong held Ming Yao and spoke condescendingly to Ming Xu. There was no concern in his tone, as if he was just giving a routine reminder.

"You stay and take good care of the young master. Don't let him be cheated by those messy people again." Ming Youzong turned around and instructed the old servant behind him. "Yes, sir." The old servant replied respectfully.

After saying this, Ming Youzong turned around and left with Ming Yao in his arms.

Mingxu looked up and happened to see Mingyao lying on Mingyouzong's shoulder and making faces at him. Mingxu was furious, but he still suppressed it and muttered silently in his heart:

Don't be angry, don't be angry, anyway, they only have three years to live. After Ming Yunqi falls into a coma for no reason, the dark hands of the Ming family behind the scenes will be found out.

By then, Ming Yunqi's supporters would immediately and decisively control those who wanted to protect the Ming family before they could react.

In the end, except for himself, more than a dozen members of the Ming family would lose their lives.
