When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng heard this, they immediately felt that something was wrong.

They were impersonating the Seventh Prince and his consort?

Could it be that the Seventh Prince and his consort were already in the residence?

With the help of Zi Cheng and the guards, the two of them quickly left.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng had his own place in the capital. After circling the street a few times, the group shook off the a.s.sa.s.sins and spies behind them and dispersed.

After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran entered a restaurant, they asked for a private room.

As soon as they entered the private room, Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran and pushed open a wall. Then, a pa.s.sageway appeared.

Then, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran entered a pa.s.sageway and changed to another room.

After half an hour, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were disguised as two middle-aged men and came out of the restaurant.

After that, the two of them took some detours before entering the house.

This time, Zi Cheng and Zi Cheng welcomed the couple.

“Is everyone back?” Luo Cheng asked about everyone’s safety.

“Don’t worry, Young Master, our buddies are all back! We sent the injured guards to the medical center for treatment and paid all the consultation fees. Our buddies are fine, so they left quietly!” Zi Cheng replied.

Luo Cheng nodded and pulled Li Xiaoran in.

“Let our buddies recuperate first! Send someone to find out what’s going on. If I’m not mistaken, the fake Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince’s consort are in the house now!”

Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng nodded.

“By the way, Zi Zheng, Qinghe, what’s with that cat from yesterday?”

When Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe heard Luo Cheng’s summons, they quickly followed him to a room.

As the four of them sat down, they began to discuss it.

“Young Master, we went to investigate. This cat is a wild cat from nearby. All the surrounding merchants know this wild cat. However, this wild cat is usually very docile and close to people. It won’t hurt people for no reason. Later, we brought the wild cat to a vet, who checked and said that this cat had been drugged. This drug is very special and makes the cat attack people with other scents!” Zi Zheng told them.

“Previously, when we realized that there was a commotion ahead, a child accidentally b.u.mped into Madam. Madam even reached out to support that child! After that, our people couldn’t find that child anymore!”

Luo Cheng frowned when he heard this.

So someone had planned all of this?

“That child didn’t have any ill intentions. I think the mastermind used that child to attract my attention. There must have been something on that child that made the wild cat manic and it was rubbed against me! After that, the child was taken away and her scent was sealed. Only my body had the smell that aroused the cat’s mania!” Li Xiaoran said.

Because at that moment, Li Xiaoran really didn’t sense any malice from the child.

Therefore, there was only one possibility. Someone was using this child to scheme against her.

“Madam, you’re right. I divined the child’s location. When I found the child, she had already changed her clothes and was sleeping in a pit. When we found her, the child was unconscious. After we woke her up, we asked the child’s address and sent her home.”

“After we arrived at the child’s house, we found out that someone had kidnapped the child when the child’s mother wasn’t paying attention. The neighbors have been looking for her!” Wu Qinghe told them about the situation.

After Luo Cheng heard their words, he thought about it.

After a while, Luo Cheng spoke up.

“It seems that someone has been plotting ever since we left! Send someone to keep an eye on those siblings that were arguing. We can’t let them off.”

Zi Zheng nodded and went to make the arrangements.

After saying this, Luo Cheng thought of something.

“Qinghe, divine if there’s anything special about the mastermind behind this matter. When the time comes, we can investigate according to this characteristic!”

Wu Qinghe nodded and stood up to leave.

Now, only Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, and Zi Cheng were left in the room.

“Zi Cheng, ask our buddies to keep an eye on Yan Xiaoqiao. I keep feeling that the imposter who pretended to be the two of us came from Yan Xiaoqiao’s side.”

Zi Cheng nodded and left as well.

After settling these things, Luo Cheng rubbed his temples.

Li Xiaoran had been thinking about something, so she didn’t speak.

“Husband, why did they pretend to be us? How can those people guarantee that the people in the residence will think that they’re the real Seventh Prince and consort?” After a while, Li Xiaoran asked.

“The people in the residence were all from the royal family in the past. Although I shuffled them around, can you guarantee that everyone there will be willing to follow me after so many years?” Luo Cheng explained. When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately enlightened. “So someone deliberately set those rooms that wav!”

“Do you think the emperor will be able to recognize us?” Li Xiaoran thought of another question.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he suddenly laughed.

“Don’t worry, although my father is a sc.u.mbag in terms of relationships, he’s very smart. As long as he sees the Seventh Prince and the consort in the residence, he’ll definitely recognize that they’re fake!”

“Don’t those people pretending to be us know?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

Speaking of this, Luo Cheng smiled even more happily.

“Everyone thinks that my father isn’t familiar with me. After all, I’m an unfavored son, and we haven’t interacted for so many years, so the other party is betting that my father isn’t familiar with me and won’t be able to recognize the imposter!”

Was that actually the case?

The answer was yes.

That night, the emperor suddenly ran out in the middle of the night.

However, his expression changed the moment he saw the Seventh Prince and the consort. Then, he asked someone to capture the imposters.

At first, the emperor thought that this was Luo Cheng’s way of escaping with Li Xiaoran. Later, after asking someone to interrogate them, he found out that some people had impersonated the Seventh Prince and his consort today.

At this moment, the emperor immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Therefore, the emperor immediately sent his Dark Dragon Guards to look for Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran..
