The two had been husband and wife for many years, and this was the first time the Prince of Pingnan had seen such an ugly Princess Pingnan. His feelings were somewhat complicated.
However, since she was his legal wife, he still treated her with the respect due to her and did not openly show her disdain.
However, a large crowd had gathered around, and the Princess of Pingnan's disheveled appearance attracted considerable attention. (www.cascoo.net)
Her noble princess image crumbled considerably without her realizing it.
The Prince of Pingnan slightly turned his eyes away from her, his face dark as he said, "This scoundrel is incredibly audacious! It's one thing to come to the Prince's mansion to steal things, but he even dares to set fire to the mansion!"
He immediately shouted coldly, "Lei Song, find those assassins at all costs!"
Lei Song has already put a lot of effort into finding the assassins, and they have indeed captured several.
However, those assassins were clearly suicide squad members; as soon as they were captured, they immediately committed suicide by poison, which was very decisive and efficient.
Lei Song reported these matters to the Prince of Pingnan, who angrily said, "No matter what method you use, you must find out the origins of these assassins."
Lei Song responded and immediately led his men to capture the assassin again.
However, no one saw the arsonist when the fire broke out at Princess Pingnan's residence.
The fire came too suddenly, as if the kitchen itself had caught fire.
Just as Lei Song was about to tell the Prince of Pingnan that Lin Xiuyan was preventing them from entering, a man dressed in a Taoist robe came over and whispered a few words in the Prince of Pingnan's ear.
After hearing the Taoist-robed man's words, the Prince of Pingnan asked in shock, "Really?"
The Taoist-robed man nodded, and the Prince of Pingnan immediately forgot about the Princess of Pingnan and headed straight for the small courtyard.
After he went inside, he discovered that the mechanism containing the jade seal had long been broken, and the jade seal had disappeared.
The Prince of Pingnan knew all too well how important the jade seal was to his mansion, and his face turned extremely grim: "Did you see clearly who it was?"
The man in the Taoist robe shook his head: "They were all wearing masks, so we couldn't see their faces clearly."
"But I am familiar with their methods of coordination; they are experts from the Imperial Palace."
In Liefeng Prefecture, it goes without saying who possesses top-tier martial arts experts.
The Prince of Pingnan's face was extremely ugly: "Anle, don't push your luck!"
The man in the Taoist robe looked at him and said, "Your Highness, if the jade seal really falls into Princess Anle's hands, you must consider this carefully."
Prince Pingnan took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, we cannot let Anle send the jade seal back to the capital."
The man in the Taoist robe said with some concern, "Princess Anle has brought many experts with her this time."
"Given his status, if the prince were to have a direct confrontation with him, he might end up giving the prince leverage over him."
The Prince of Pingnan sneered, "This is Liefeng Prefecture, my Liefeng Prefecture!"
"Don't think that Anle is just a princess. Even if he were a dragon, he would have to kneel before me in Liefeng Prefecture!"
He originally didn't want to have a direct conflict with Princess Anle, thinking that since Princess Anle wouldn't marry Ye Junfei, she wouldn't stay in Liefeng Prefecture for long and would leave soon.
However, he never expected that Princess Anle would send someone into the mansion to steal the jade seal!
Now that the jade seal is lost, the Prince of Pingnan is no longer willing to play the submissive role; he must find a way to get the jade seal back no matter what.
After thinking for a moment, the man in the Taoist robe said, "Your Highness, the arrival of these men in black tonight was too sudden, and they seem to be very familiar with the guard posts of the Prince's residence."
"I'm afraid there's a traitor within the Prince's residence; this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated."
The Prince of Pingnan was also aware of this matter, and the current situation was giving him a headache.
When he heard about the mole, his first thought was whether Ye Junfei was behind it.
Since Ye Junfei returned to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, there has never been peace in the manor.
He was about to go find Ye Junfei when Lei Song rushed in again: "Your Highness, the military tally is lost."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
Prince Pingnan: "!!!!!!!"
He thought losing the jade seal was already a big deal, but he never expected that the military tally would also be lost!
The tiger tally was not kept in this small courtyard, but in a hidden compartment in his study.
So, were there two groups of people who sneaked into the Prince's mansion today?
The man in the Taoist robe recalled a detail: "Tonight, when I fell for their diversionary tactic and went out to fight them, someone sneaked in."
"After I realized something was wrong, I rushed in and ran into the seal thief. The group that had attacked me first also attacked him."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Pingnan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was no fool to become the king of Liefeng Prefecture, and upon hearing this, he realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
If one group is Princess Anle's people, then who is the other group?
The first person the Prince of Pingnan thought of was Ye Junfei.
He immediately led his men to find trouble for Ye Junfei, but he had only gone halfway when he saw Ye Mingzhu running towards him with disheveled hair.
As soon as Ye Mingzhu saw him, she burst into tears: "Father, help! A thief broke into my room tonight!"
"She not only hit me, but also stole all my jewelry and silver!"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He heard several such stories in one night, and his head was about to explode!
What kind of nonsense is this?!
Compared to the theft of the jade seal and military tally, the damage and theft of the Ming Dynasty pearl are nothing.
He was extremely annoyed, so he said, "Your mother's residence has been burned down. Go and keep your mother company!"
Of all his children, Prince Pingnan usually dotes on Ye Mingzhu the most, but tonight he didn't say a single word of comfort, which made Ye Mingzhu very sad.
However, the Prince of Pingnan looked very unpleasant at the moment, so she didn't dare to cause trouble in front of him.
She could only sniff and say, "Yes."
The Prince of Pingnan left immediately and went straight to Ye Junfei's residence.
He Shen naturally didn't dare to stop him as he approached, and simply said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and Princess are resting inside. Why don't you knock on the door first?"
The Prince of Pingnan glanced at him, and he lowered his head and said, "After all, the Crown Princess is a woman."
When the Prince of Pingnan heard this, he felt uncomfortable, but he knew it was true.
It certainly didn't sound good for a father-in-law to barge into his daughter-in-law's room.
So he asked Lei Song to knock on the door.
Lei Song had been humiliated by Lin Xiuyan tonight, but now that the Prince of Pingnan was backing him up, knocking on the door turned into banging on it.
If he could, he would kick the door open.
Lin Xiuyan wasn't too surprised to be woken up, but she still wouldn't let go of this legitimate opportunity to vent her anger.
After she put a pill into Ye Junfei's mouth, she brought a basin of water from the bathroom.
When she opened the door, she splashed the water directly at the person at the door.
She splashed water while cursing, "You surnamed Lei, you broke into my bedroom twice in one night, why don't you just fly to the sky!"
The water was splashed so suddenly that neither Lei Song nor the Prince of Pingnan could react.
Both of them were very close to the door, and the basin of water was quite large, drenching them both thoroughly.
