"Your Highness, I've come to save you." Xiao Yi appeared quickly and used his knife to cleave open Qi Guze's prison door.

Qi Guze's eyes flickered slightly: "The fire will probably spread here very soon." He frowned as he spoke.

It seems this is the Emperor's scheme.

"Get a few people to come and put out the fire," Qi Guze said as he walked out.

Xiao Yi stood in front of him, shielding him from the flames: "Yes, Your Highness."

Qi Guze nodded, and soon he followed Xiao Yi out of the prison. Xiao Yi led him to the palace gate.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready." As Xiao Yizheng spoke, the chief eunuch quickly came out from behind the carriage.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. You should go to Tianxiang Tower to take refuge first, and please do not show your face in public." The chief eunuch said as he quickly lifted the carriage curtain to let Qi Guze get in.

Qi Guze hesitated. He turned to look at Xiao Yi, who nodded, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

Without further hesitation, he boarded the carriage, where the chief eunuch had prepared clothes for him.

"Your Highness, please change your clothes and disguise yourself. It will be safer that way." He said, handing Qi Guze a set of clothes.

Qi Guze's eyes flickered slightly; now he was going to have to live a life of hiding again.

"Okay." Qi Guze agreed, took the clothes and changed, and soon he looked like a woodcutter.

Third Sister was cooking, since Zhou Wan was pregnant and needed to eat nutritious food.

Suddenly she heard a knocking sound outside. At first, she thought it was a hallucination, but when she stopped chopping vegetables, the sound continued.

She started out curious but quickly ran out excitedly: "It must be Yue who's back."

Thinking of this, she immediately ran out and opened the door, only to find that it wasn't Xu Yuehuai at all.

The person knocking on the door was a man, a scruffy woodcutter, which made San Niang frown: "I'm sorry, we're closed for the day and we're not taking any more customers."

As San Niang was speaking, she was about to close the door, but Qi Guze had not yet seen Xu Yuehuai, and Tianxiang Tower was acting very strangely. He immediately realized that there was a problem.

"I'm here to see someone," Qi Guze said quickly, pushing the door open.

Third Sister was slightly taken aback, then immediately closed the door: "Our Tianxiang Restaurant is really closed. Please come back another day."

Qi Guze frowned even more upon seeing this: "Third Sister..."

He could only call her by her third sister's name, and his words revealed a hint of helplessness.

When Third Sister heard that the man actually knew her, she was taken aback: "Who are you? How do you know I'm Third Sister?"

Third Sister was very curious. She looked at Qi Guze with a scrutinizing expression, hoping to find some clues.

"Third Sister, it's me." Qi Guze thought she recognized him when he saw that Third Sister reacted.

"You...who are you?" San Niang felt the voice was very familiar. She thought carefully and realized it was the Regent's voice.

She widened her eyes in surprise, and was about to cry out when Qi Guze gestured for her to be quiet.

Third Sister nodded quickly: "Come in and talk." As she spoke, she quickly made way for Qi Guze to enter.

Qi Guze bowed and entered Tianxiang Tower. He felt that Tianxiang Tower was strange and was about to ask San Niang about it.

San Niang couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, I just thought it was A Yue. Shi Chen was captured by Marquis Ningyuan, and A Yue sent someone to rescue him."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but blame herself: "It's all our fault. We neglected Shi Chen's emotions for a moment, which led him to be misled and run away from Tianxiang Tower."

Qi Guze tensed up immediately upon hearing this, not expecting so many things to happen after he went inside.

Seeing that Third Sister was agitated, Qi Guze quickly comforted her, "Third Sister, don't be anxious. Let's wait for A-Yue's news first."

Third Sister's emotions had calmed down somewhat, but she was still a little fluctuating. She had been too excited just now, but now that she had calmed down, she began to wonder why the Regent was dressed like this at Tianxiang Tower.

Qi Guze noticed the curiosity in San Niang's eyes, but he didn't intend to explain. Instead, he asked San Niang to call Tie Xiong.

"Third Sister, go and call Tie Xiong for me, but don't alert Zhou Wan, and don't tell him it's me." After Qi Guze finished speaking, Third Sister became even more curious.

However, San Niang did not ask any further questions, because she believed that Qi Guze would not do anything to harm them or Tianxiang Tower.

"Okay, then wait for me here." With that, Third Sister slowly went upstairs to Zhou Wan's room, and knocked lightly on the door when she got there.

Zhou Wan was still asleep inside, while Tie Xiong quietly watched her, enjoying the tranquility that belonged only to them.

Upon hearing the sound, Tie Xiong frowned slightly. He quickly got up, slowed his pace, and opened the door to go out.

"Third Sister? What brings you here? Zhou Wan is asleep." Tie Xiong said, gesturing for Third Sister to go to the top of the stairs to talk.

San Niang followed, and just as she was about to speak, Tie Xiong asked, "Is there any news from Shi Chen?"

Third Sister shook her head, looking disappointed: "A-Yue hasn't returned yet, there's no news for now."

Upon hearing this, Tie Xiong prepared to turn back to take care of Zhou Wan: "Third Sister, let me know if there's any news. I'll go back to take care of Zhou Wan first."

He was about to leave when San Niang saw this and quickly said, "Tie Xiong, someone downstairs is looking for you."

Seeing the serious look on Third Sister's face, Tie Xiong began to wonder if things had progressed.

Overjoyed, he quickly ran downstairs to see what was going on.

When Tie Xiong came downstairs and saw the figure standing by the stone bench in the backyard, he was instantly stunned. He immediately rushed up and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, how have you been lately?"

Qi Guze turned to Tie Xiong and said, "I'm fine, basically alright." He then took out the letter he had just written and handed it to Tie Xiong.

Tie Xiong looked puzzled, and Qi Guze immediately explained, "Go and hand the letter to Xu Yuehuai right now. The contents of the letter will make Marquis Ningyuan release the person immediately."

After Qi Guze finished speaking, Tie Xiong prepared to leave without hesitation. He simply said before leaving, "Your Highness, I'm off."

Qi Guze nodded, and Tie Xiong shot off like an arrow.

He actually wanted to ask Qi Guze what his next plan was, but now it concerned Jiang Shichen's life and death, and it was Qi Guze's order, so he was extremely careful and dared not make the slightest mistake.

Tie Xiong arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion quickly. He told the gatekeeper that he was looking for Xu Yuehuai and was then taken directly to the backyard.

Xu Yuehuai waited anxiously in the backyard, not knowing whether anything had happened in the Ministry of Justice prison.

The Duchess of Zhenguo could only stay by her side and tell her to calm down.

"Miss, someone is looking for you," the doorman called out as he led the person inside.

Upon seeing Tie Xiong, Xu Yuehuai quickly stood up from the stone bench: "Tie Xiong, what brings you here? Did something happen to Zhou Wan?"
