Chapter 420: Escorting the Thief into the Palace

The third prince was extremely excited, as his chance to make a contribution had come.

It's time to teach the Wu family a lesson.

The Wu family attacked him first, so it's no wonder that he fought back without regard for blood ties.

In a place where no one could see, Wu Yunfeng visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had to obey his father's orders, but his conscience told him that he could not lose his humanity.

Maybe this is why his father and mother don't like him.

His father always said that he was indecisive and not tough enough, so he would never achieve anything great.

But if this great undertaking depends on the lives of innocent people, it would be better if it fails.

The person behind Wu Yunfeng became anxious and shouted at Wu Yunfeng:

"Escort me away quickly!"

Wu Yunfeng did not move, and neither did Wu Da behind him nor the five people who followed him.

He knew that they were outnumbered now. If they could really get the Second Prince out safely, it would be a miracle if any two of the six of them could survive.

It's not worth it for such a selfish thing.

The group of people dressed in eunuch costumes subdued Wu Yunfeng and his group without any effort.

The second prince was completely panicked.

Once he enters the palace, the boss will recognize him at a glance. Will he still be able to survive?

"Wu Yunfeng, aren't you afraid that I will tell your father everything that happened today?"

"Let's talk about it after I'm still alive!" Wu Yunfeng was extremely disgusted by what the Second Prince had done in the past few days.

He didn't understand why his father would defend such a thing.

Arrogant, extravagant, licentious, selfish, and cold-blooded.

Thinking of the mother and daughter who died tragically in his room, Wu Yunfeng wished he could kill this beast.

Fortunately, evildoers will be punished by God.

At this moment, the Third Prince shouted, "Oh no! This old bald donkey has lost too much blood and passed out. Hurry, hurry and save him!"

The abbot did not faint completely, but due to excessive blood loss, his vision became black and he felt very dizzy. However, he could still vaguely hear the sounds from the outside world.

Hearing the Third Prince asking someone to save him, he felt moved. This was the power of blood ties. Even if he didn't tell the Third Prince the truth now, he would still subconsciously ask someone to save him because of their blood ties.

But before the abbot could finish his sigh.

Then I heard the Third Prince say anxiously:

"If this old bald donkey dies, who will prove my innocence? I have to wait until he explains everything before I die!"

The abbot, who was trying hard to hold on, suddenly felt a surge of blood and energy, and completely fainted and lost consciousness.

The leading eunuch pried open the abbot's tightly closed mouth and stuffed a pill into it.

He also took out some medicine from his body and applied it to the abbot's wound and stopped the bleeding.

This man really can't die here.

This man must be brought back to the palace today no matter what. The emperor is still waiting for him to prove the identity of the Sixth Princess.

Along the way, Xie Yuheng was half lying in the third prince's carriage.

Fortunately, the emperor's men forced the abbot to detoxify him. Now he just needs to have a good rest to recover.

The third prince poured a cup of hot tea for Xie Yuheng.

"Xie Yuheng, when we return to the palace later, you must prove it for me."

"I have nothing to do with that old bald donkey!"

"I went to Xiangguo Temple because they plotted against me."

Xie Yuheng listened to the third prince chattering in his ear. If it were in the past, he would have become impatient long ago.

Today he said patiently:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am not one to seek revenge for personal gain. I will report today's events truthfully to His Majesty."

After receiving the assurance, the third prince warmly helped Xie Yuheng up.

He also personally fed tea into Xie Yuheng's mouth.

It's his fault that he is now involved in such a scandal. Only Xie Yuheng can prove his innocence.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the harem.

The queen sat leisurely on Chaohua's bed.

He was not worried at all that Xie Yuheng could capture the abbot.

She was waiting expectantly for the bad news about Xie Yuheng.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests an audience."

The queen frowned slightly in displeasure.

What is he doing here at this moment?

A hint of displeasure flashed across the old emperor's eyes, and he said impatiently:

"Call him in."

Only the caring voice of the Third Prince could be heard from outside.

"Yuheng, go slower, be careful not to bump into anything."

Xie Yuheng, who was supported by him, suddenly stiffened. He felt really uncomfortable facing the attentive Third Prince.

But he still replied, "This humble official doesn't need to worry about this. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

He could actually walk by himself now, but the Third Prince insisted on supporting him.

If he wants to support me, then let him support me.

After all, the third prince saved his life.

When everyone in the inner hall heard the voices of the Third Prince and Xie Yuheng, they all frowned.

It is well known to everyone that the Third Prince and General Xie have never gotten along.

The two of them would fight whenever they met, but now from the tone of the interaction between the Third Prince and Xie Yuheng, it seemed as if they were friends for many years.

Everyone stretched their necks to look at the door.

But the third prince appeared in everyone's sight, supporting General Xie.

Everyone's eyes suddenly narrowed.

It was because they saw that both the Third Prince and General Xie were covered in blood.

Especially General Xie's pale face, as if he was about to die at any time, made everyone tremble with fear.

Duke Xie rushed over and supported Xie Yuheng on the other side.

He looked him up and down with worried eyes.

Asked anxiously:

"Heng'er, Heng'er, what's wrong with you? Tell dad where you are hurt?"

The old emperor also ran towards Xie Yuheng, but he resisted the urge to take a step towards Xie Yuheng.

He said to the Third Prince with concern:

"Huang'er, how did you and Yuheng get injured like this?"

"The imperial physician, why don't you come over and see the two masters?"

The third prince's eyes turned red.

The emperor still cared about him, although his eyes were never on him, but on Xie Yuheng who was standing beside him.

He is not jealous.

After all, Xie Yuheng was sent by my father to carry out orders. If he really died, my father would feel guilty towards Duke Xie.

"Father~"

The Third Prince said with a choked voice:

"My son and General Xie almost died in Xiangguo Temple."

The old emperor and Duke Xie both felt their hearts skip a beat.

I almost died in Xiangguo Temple!

Duke Xie's eyes were slightly sore, and he hurriedly helped Xie Yuheng sit down.

Although the third prince was also covered in blood, he was in excellent mental condition and even his complexion showed no problems.

On the other hand, Heng'er, from the moment she came in, was half leaning on the third prince weakly.

His face was terribly pale, and his arm was wrapped in gauze.

I don’t know how serious the injury is.

Shen Zhao also gathered around.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xie Yuheng's inner voice.

[Hmm... This is the first time I've seen Lao Xie care about me so much. ]

If I don't say I'm not injured now, I won't be deceiving Old Xie.

[The Third Prince is fine, yet he's still crying in front of His Majesty, while I was actually stabbed.]

Shen Zhao's heart was instantly relieved.

It's all right, it's all right!

At this time, the queen's face looked extremely ugly.

Xie Yuheng actually came back alive, but what about the abbot?

Shen Zhao listened to the Queen's thoughts and also wanted to know if the abbot had caught him!

But the Third Prince sobbed and said:
