He gently moved his numb legs without making any noise. Thinking that it was almost sunrise and no one had come yet, he felt that nothing would happen next.
Another half a quarter of an hour later, it was time for the shift change. He found his colleague who was taking over the shift. The two exchanged tokens. He was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of faint footsteps.
He immediately became alert, and his mouth moved a few times, making rhythmic meowing sounds. The secret guards hiding everywhere all grabbed their weapons at the same time.
One, two, three, four…
When I counted to five, the sound of cold weapons clashing rang out in the darkness, so close that it seemed to be right next to my ear.
However, in reality...
All the secret guards ready to go: "???"
They didn't do anything, so where did the fighting sound come from?
The secret guard with the best concealment ability went out to find out what was going on. He came back after a while, gesturing with his hands and saying that two groups of men in black were fighting outside the Yan Mansion.
Each of these two groups of people is equipped with elite soldiers and has extraordinary skills. It is obvious that they have undergone brutal training.
After the two groups finished fighting and a while passed, the secret guard went out to take a look again, and found that there was no trace of anyone outside the mansion, only a pool of blood with a pungent smell.

"It seems someone helped me and even left a trace to let me know that they helped me. I wonder who this person is."

This eliminates a strong competitor.
The eldest prince was born with a foot disease and had no right to inherit the throne. The second prince failed in an imperial examination cheating case and lost the emperor's favor and the support of the court. The fourth prince died at the age of three.
The third, fifth, sixth and eighth princes should be happy that the seventh prince has multiple twin brothers, and they may all be the ones who come to help.
The ninth and tenth princes were still young, one was seven years old and the other was four years old, and they were not yet old enough to compete for the throne.
One of them had a mother who was a palace maid, and the other had a mother who was a member of the Yan family, so neither of them would get involved in this matter.
"It seems my safety is guaranteed. Someone doesn't want me to die." Yan Cheng and Leng Yan joked, "Do you think I should go out and wander around to give those who want to kill me some chance?"
Leng Yan was convinced: "Forget it, you still want to run out when you know there is danger, are you afraid that you will live too well?"
Yan Cheng: "You are so rude."
