It was also on this day that Shopkeeper Qiao — who had been sent by Xue Sifu to the neighboring county to be in charge of the opening of his shop — heard that the Crown Prince had been found. It was Xue Yan! The news had finally spread from the Imperial Capital. Shopkeeper Qiao was so shocked that he almost fell from his seat. He held the counter for half a day before he recovered.

Xue Sifu didn’t tell him and Xue Dafu seemed to not know at all.

Shopkeeper Qiao didn’t dare to make a sound if they didn’t say anything.

Only on the 12th day of April, Princess Jin returned to Jingyue.

She returned while Prince Ying was having lunch. The moment she returned, Princess Jin told him about Prince Yi’s plot.

When Prince Ying heard that Prince Yi had actually instigated Prince Weimin to go to Xinyuan to kill his precious daughter, intending to stir up an internal conflict within the royal family and benefit from it, he was enraged. He raised his sword and charged towards Prince Yi’s residence.

Princess Jin, Zou Ba, and Zou Shisi quickly followed.

Prince Yi had been targeted by Prince Yings men and was unable to leave the manor. However, he had free reign in his courtyard. Suddenly, he heard a servant outside happily announce that the princess had returned. Prince Yi’s heart immediately skipped a beat.

How did Prince Weimin manage to let Princess Jin return alive?

Princess Jin had returned alive… Does this mean death for him?

Even if the men of sacrifice who went to Prince Weimin’s fief had returned and had four men of sacrifice by his side, how could four men of sacrifice be compared to so many experts and guards of Prince Weimin?

Princes Jin was invincible.

He could not just sit here and wait for death. He had to have a fighting chance.

There might still be a way out if he fought for his life instead of sitting here like dying ducks. After all, if anyone dared to touch Princess Jin, even if Prince Ying had to use all of Jingyue’s power, he would kill that person to avenge his precious daughter.

With this thought, Prince Yi let the men of sacrifice sneak him out.

However, just as they charged out of the courtyard, the guards of the manor surrounded them. Prince Ying had also arrived with a sword in hand, and Princess Jin was following behind him.

“Preposterous! Even if the Emperor doesn’t kill you, 1 will!” Prince Ying bellowed as he stabbed his sword towards Prince Yi without hesitation.

The four men of sacrifice were held back by the royal guards and were unable to protect Prince Yi at all. Just as Prince Yi thought that today would be the day of his death and that his life would be over, two masked men draped in black cloaks suddenly appeared from the sky. They leaped into the crowd and blocked Prince Yings sword before stabbing him in the arm.

“Father!” Princess Jin immediately unsheathed her flexible sword and protected her father behind her. At the same time, she attacked the two masked men who were protecting Prince Yi.

The two masked men had frighteningly high skills. Princess Jin was no match for them at all. If their Jiang Yue was here, they might be able to suppress them. Zou Ba and Zou Shisi were afraid that Prince Yi would run away, so they quickly drew their swords to help.

With a whistle, Zou Yi and the others jumped over the wall and joined the battle.

However, it was still fruitless.

There were so many people, but the two masked men in black cloaks successfully took Prince Yi away. Of Prince Yi e s four men of sacrifice, two of them were injured and ran away with him.

The other two men of sacrifice had already died in the chaotic battle.

Seeing that he had already disappeared without a trace, Princess Jin felt extremely regretful. “l had let my guard down. I knew that he was not simple.. His Highness the Crown Prince had also warned me, but 1-
