Several guards had been waiting for the Fourteenth Prince's punishment, but they waited for a long time and the Fourteenth Prince didn't say anything, and they couldn't help but become more nervous.

"Fourteenth Master, I know I was wrong and should not have neglected my duties. Please punish me, Fourteenth Master."

The guards could not bear the torture in their hearts, and after secretly encouraging themselves several times, they asked for punishment.

Their sudden voices brought Fourteenth Prince back to his senses. Looking at the guards kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand and said that this would not happen again. Then he walked past them, pulled Jiang Ranli into Yonghe Palace.

Looking at the back of the Fourteenth Prince as he left, several guards felt like they were dreaming. You know, the Fourteenth Prince was famous for his eyesight, and he had been in a very bad mood recently. He had dealt with countless people in the palace in the past few days, but today he actually let them go.

"The Fourteenth Master seems to be in a good mood today," said a guard.

The others nodded and said, "Yes, did you see Fourteenth Master's expression just now? It was filled with great joy."

"Yes, yes, yes, fortunately Fourteenth Master is in a good mood today, fortunately, fortunately."

The guards felt extremely lucky and hurried back to their posts. The feeling of surviving the disaster was so good that it filled them with enthusiasm for work.

However, when they stopped, they suddenly found that the eunuch named Xiao Linzi was gone.

"Have you seen that little eunuch?"

"It seems like he went in with the Fourteenth Master."

"Are you sure he walked in? Wasn't he taken in by Fourteenth Master's men?"

After the guards finished speaking, they looked at each other and were all worried about the eunuch named Xiao Linzi.

Now in this palace, the former Fourth Prince has ascended the throne as emperor, but for some reason the Fourth Prince's brother, Fourteenth Prince, is unhappy and often opposes the emperor in the court.

"That little Linzi is someone close to the emperor. Will the Fourteenth Master get angry when he sees him and have someone take him in and punish him?" a guard guessed.

"It's possible. The Fourteenth Master has been at odds with the Emperor recently. It's possible that he is taking out his anger on the people around the Emperor."

At this point, several guards became even more worried, and one of them asked, "Should we report this to the Emperor?"

The person next to him thought for a while and said, "The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs, how could he care about the life and death of a small eunuch? If we rashly report it, we might be punished."

The others nodded after hearing this. In their opinion, the emperor, who was busy with state affairs, would not pay attention to a small eunuch. Moreover, if they reported the news, they might offend the Fourteenth Master. They had just escaped death, but there might not be such a good thing next time.

Thinking of this, several guards continued to stand guard, pretending not to see the eunuch named Xiao Linzi.

In Yonghe Palace.

The Fourteenth Prince dismissed everyone around him and took Jiang Ranli to a secluded place. Only then did he take a closer look at the person he had been thinking about day and night.

The person in front of him was still delicate and bright, but she looked listless. There were big dark bags under her pretty eyes, and she looked exceptionally thin.

Fourteenth Prince raised his hand to hug her, but when he was about to touch her, he withdrew his hand like lightning. He opened his mouth to speak several times before he finally said, "Li'er, are you okay?"

Jiang Ranli noticed the Fourteenth Prince's actions and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After not seeing him for several years, the once casual Fourteenth Prince had become more mature.

"I'm fine." After meeting again after a long time, and still in the current situation, Jiang Ranli suddenly didn't know what to say.
