The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Chapter 158 Conspiracy and Crisis

In the following days, Haoyu and Wei An began to secretly investigate those unusual signs. They found that some servants in the palace suddenly became mysterious and sneaky, and some nobles who were originally on good terms with him began to distance themselves from him intentionally or unintentionally. All this made Haoyu more convinced that a conspiracy against him was brewing.

"Wei'an, we must find the mastermind behind this conspiracy." Haoyu clenched his fists, his eyes determined, "We can't let their plan succeed."

Wei An also looked particularly serious and earnest. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will always be by your side. We will definitely uncover the truth and protect your safety." He patted Haoyu on the shoulder to show encouragement and support.

Therefore, the two began to collect evidence and clues more carefully. They used their wisdom and courage to lay an invisible net in the palace, trying to catch those ghosts who were secretly working. However, this investigation was much more difficult than they imagined. Those conspirators were extremely cunning and their whereabouts were uncertain, which brought great difficulties to their investigation.

Late one night, Haoyu and Wei An sneaked into a remote palace to look for clues. The moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water, adding a bit of gloom and horror to the silent palace. They shuttled silently in the dim corridor, and every step was extremely careful and cautious.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps broke the silence of the palace. Haoyu and Wei An immediately became alert. They quickly hid in the shadows on the side, holding their breath and watching the situation. They saw several dark shadows sneaking into the secret room in front, seemingly plotting some unspeakable secret.

"They are really here!" Haoyu lowered his voice and said to Wei An with excitement in his eyes, "We have to find a way to get closer and listen to what they are saying."

Wei An nodded and signaled Haoyu to follow him closely. The two of them approached the secret room cautiously and peeked inside through the crack in the door. They saw the nobles sitting around a round table, talking in low voices with sinister and cunning smiles on their faces.

"As long as we act according to the plan, that kid will never escape from our grasp." A noble said smugly with a vicious gleam in his eyes, "Willn't we have the final say on the throne by then?"

"Haha, well said!" Another noble laughed, his eyes flashing with greed and ambition, "As long as we get rid of that annoying guy, we can do whatever we want!"

Haoyu was furious when he heard this. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deep into his palms. He never expected that these nobles would be so crazy and would do anything to fight for the throne.

"Wei An, we must stop them!" Haoyu whispered to Wei An with determination and firmness in his eyes, "We can't let their conspiracy succeed!"

Wei An also seemed particularly angry and excited. "Your Highness is right! We have to find a way to expose their true colors and let everyone see their true faces!" He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger and fighting spirit.

However, just as they were about to leave to look for more evidence, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came. Several guards rushed into the palace and had obviously discovered their whereabouts. "Oh no! They found us!" Haoyu was horrified and pulled Wei An to run out.

However, it was too late. The guards quickly surrounded the two men. "Capture them!" The leading guard shouted loudly, with a cold and ruthless light in his eyes.

Haoyu and Wei An stood back to back, facing the surging guards, their eyes full of determination and unyielding. "It's not that easy to catch us!" Haoyu roared and rushed towards the leading guard with his sword, the sword light was like lightning and unstoppable.

Wei An was not to be outdone. He held his spear tightly and shuttled between the guards like lightning. His spear was as powerful as a dragon and invincible. The two of them engaged in a fierce battle with the guards in the narrow space. Every collision produced dazzling sparks and deafening noises.

However, two fists cannot defeat four hands. After all, the two were outnumbered and gradually felt powerless. The leading guard sneered and increased his offensive in an attempt to capture the two in one fell swoop. "Give up resistance, you can't escape!" He roared and swung his sword at Haoyu.

At this critical moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds suddenly came. A team of elite cavalry rushed into the palace like a storm and scattered the guards. The leading cavalry waved his long sword and shouted loudly: "Protect His Highness!"

Haoyu and Wei An were overjoyed when they saw this. They took advantage of the situation to fight back and defeated the remaining guards one by one. The leading cavalryman came to the two men, knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being late!"

Haoyu waved his hand to signal him to stand up. "It doesn't matter. You came at the right time." He looked at the loyal general gratefully, with trust and admiration in his eyes. "Thanks to you, we were able to escape danger."

The general stood up with determination in his eyes. "I swear to protect your highness and the queen until my death!" He swore loudly, his voice as loud as a bell, echoing in the palace.
