The originally peaceful night was turned into chaos by Chen Xun's panic.
Chen Xun first went to Mu Ange's bedroom, only to find it empty. Then he hurriedly ran to An Ning's bedroom.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
An Ning stirred when she heard the sound, and when she turned around, she saw that Mu Ange had secretly hugged her, and then the two of them fell asleep in that embracing position.
"Your Highness."
Chen Xun called out again.
Mu Ange frowned, got out of bed with an unhappy expression, and opened the door with a click.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xun said urgently, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The guard we captured from the dungeon has been rescued!"
Mu Ange frowned: "Get ready!"
Chen Xun immediately understood.
An Ning groggily opened her eyes and saw Mu Ange dressed in a pitch-black outfit and wearing a mask, hurrying away.
Meanwhile, the Gate of No Sorrow.
The sect leader leaned back lazily in his chair, a cup of tea in his hand: "Heh, Mu Ange, you're nothing special."
"That's for sure, the sect leader is the one with the most brilliant plan."
"Whether it's Miao or the cook, they both mentioned the same person, Xiao Ning. This Xiao Ning and the fake eunuch by the emperor's side must be the same person. Before, in the palace, Mu Ange protected this fake eunuch, which means that Xiao Ning must be very important to him. In addition, some time ago, Elder Yan took that eunuch as his closed-door disciple. Considering that they have been holed up in the mansion for so long, they must be either building a secret room or digging a secret passage."
"That's why the sect leader sent people to break into the secret room in the Three Kings' mansion. Unexpectedly, there was someone imprisoned inside. Sect leader, let's go and interrogate him now."
The sect leader stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go."
"yes."
The subordinate kicked open the door to the woodshed. The man was pale and covered in injuries, suggesting he had been tortured in the Third Prince's mansion.
"Is there anything you'd like to say?"
The sect leader looked at him and asked in a low voice.
He knew he would die sooner or later, and besides, he had already confessed while he was at the Prince's mansion, so he had no more worries.
"I was the emperor's secret guard. I was responsible for guarding the people in the city's dungeon. Later, Mu Ange, Old Man Yan, and another man suddenly broke in and captured me. After that, I don't know anything else."
The sect leader was somewhat surprised: "They recruited so efficiently; they don't seem like people from the emperor's inner circle."
The man, his hands trembling, lifted his clothes, revealing almost no patch of unscathed skin on his body: "This is all the Prince's doing."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The sect leader looked at the horrific wounds and actually laughed out loud: "As expected, it's Mu Ange!"
"Do you know what they've been doing in the manor these past few days?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "It's probably about finding a way to rescue the person from the dungeon."
The sect leader asked, "Who is imprisoned in the dungeon?"
"The people who built the emperor's mausoleum."
The sect leader was slightly taken aback: So that's how it is.
"Then why did they rescue them in the first place?"
"That man seems to have some connection with those carpenters!"
The sect leader pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Mu Ange, your Achilles' heel is already in my hands."
He could easily connect the dots: Mu Ange's birth mother was a princess of the Helian Kingdom, and the Emperor of Daqi was the enemy of the Helian Kingdom. Mu Ange was resentful and was always thinking about how to avenge the Helian Kingdom. The Zi people were a clan that the Helian Kingdom was proud of, as they were skilled in construction techniques.
"Sect Master?"
"Looking at the sect leader who is almost insane, I called out softly."
The sect leader glanced at him, then said coldly, "Kill him."
