Inside the palace, the gatekeeper bowed and came in to report, "Your Highness, Yu Shidu from the Hanlin Academy is trying to force his way into our palace, and the guards are trying to stop him."

"Yu Shidu? The new champion?" Zhu Yu sneered, "He is so bold. He just relies on the fact that my father thinks highly of him recently, so he dares to act wildly in my palace!"

Zhu Hui said to the eunuch, "Tell them not to hold back and beat them up and throw them out!" After saying that, Zhu Hui felt a little uneasy again. How did Yu Zhanxing get the news and dare to break into his East Palace?

Zhu Yu turned his head to look at Cui Mubai who was sitting quietly beside him, not paying attention to anything else but just reading a book, "Go and see if Yang Congwen has finished his work."

Cui Mubai put down the book in his hand and slowly stood up.

At this moment, a palace maid ran in in a panic, "Your Highness, Xia Shaocheng from the East Factory is here."

"Xia Ning!" Zhu Yu's face suddenly changed. Although he was the crown prince, he was still a little scared of Xia Ning, Cheng Ying's vicious and cruel number one lackey. He frowned and said, "Stop him first."

He quickly stood up and ran hurriedly towards the bedroom, taking off his clothes as he walked.

Inside the bedroom, the small-leaf rosewood bed was draped with tightly wrapped curtains. Zhu Yu pulled at his clothes and said to the bed, "Yang Congwen, get out now."

There was no sound coming from inside, and Zhu Yu realized that something was wrong. There was no sound at all in the tent. He frowned and was about to draw open the tent curtain when someone suddenly rushed in from behind.

A group of East Factory guards entered one after another, all equipped with double swords. Leading the way were Yu Qizhe and Xia Ning. Yu Qizhe's palms were stained with blood, and blood was dripping from the blades of the double swords in Xia Ning's hands.

The two men had stern expressions and terrifying auras.

Zhu Yu didn't even have time to react before he was kicked away from the bed. He had always lived a life of luxury and had never been treated so roughly.

He was shocked and furious at the same time. He tried to fight back, but was hit by a flurry of punches. The force was so fierce and heavy that he saw stars. He was pinned to the ground and could not fight back. He screamed, "Someone, come quickly! Traitor! I am the crown prince!"

Xia Ning held two swords in his arms, standing aside with an indifferent expression. The palace maids of Duan Ben Palace looked terrified and wanted to step forward to rescue the prince, but were stopped by the factory guards.

The moment Yu Qizhe saw that Zhu Yu was naked, his heart almost broke and he lost all his reason.

No matter who is the prince or what power, as long as they hurt Yu Jiao, they should all die!

Zhu Hui was beaten until he passed out and collapsed to the ground without any consciousness. Then Yu Qizhe stood up and walked towards the bed with a gloomy face.

At this moment, a blood-soaked hand stretched out from the corner of the curtain. Yu Qizhe recognized it almost at a glance. It was Yu Jiao's hand.

He held the hand tremblingly, pulled aside the curtain, and saw the situation on the bed clearly, and his heart trembled.

Yu Jiao felt dizzy and aching in the head, her whole body was limp, and she could hardly muster any strength. Her vision kept going dark, but she didn't dare let herself pass out. Until the curtain was pulled open, a light appeared in front of her, and Yu Qizhe appeared in her sight against the light. The tall figure seemed to have fallen from the sky, or like an illusion she had imagined, but it made Yu Jiao feel at ease for some reason.

With tears in her eyes, she murmured, "Yu Qizhe, you are finally here..."

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Yu Qizhe heard it clearly, and felt inexplicably sad. The word "finally" showed how much she longed for him to come earlier and rescue her in such a powerless and dangerous situation.

Yu Qizhe held her hand tightly and responded softly, "Yes, Jiaojiao, I'm here."
