1044 Secret Passage, the Emperor's Dirty Trick

Knowing Sun Sixing's identity and finding out from him that he was also going to the Imperial City, City Lord Chu and Chu Changhua's enthusiasm for Sun Sixing turned into seven points. |

Thinking of Sun Sixing's superb medical skills and that City Lord Chu would not be in any danger of life along the way with Sun Sixing by his side, City Lord Chu exchanged glances with Chu Changhua and immediately decided to persuade Sun Sixing to go with them.

It was easy to persuade Sun Sixing, but the guards around Sun Sixing were not easy to persuade. It was not until Chu Changhua revealed his identity and took out the letter from Emperor Dongling to Chu Cheng that the guards agreed to let Sun Sixing go with Chu Changhua.

Not only for safety reasons, but also for Sun Sixing's health. The inside of Sun Sixing's thighs were covered with blisters, and it was not easy to find a carriage in the wilderness. Since Chu Changhua was invited by the emperor, it would not be dangerous for Sun Sixing to follow them.

Chu Changhua asked Sun Sixing to ride with the City Lord Chu on the pretext of taking care of him. In Sun Sixing's eyes, all the royal grandsons and sons were his patients. Even when riding with the City Lord Chu, Sun Sixing was very generous and not at all embarrassed or flattering. He did not fawn on the City Lord Chu, nor did he act arrogant and disdainful of being associated with him.

Sun Sixing's attitude towards City Lord Chu and Chu Changhua was the same as that towards other people. At the beginning, City Lord Chu and Chu Changhua were not used to it. After all, they were used to being respected and flattered by others. Suddenly, they met someone who didn't take them seriously, and they were really unhappy. However, as they spent more time together, City Lord Chu and Chu Changhua changed their views on Sun Sixing.

Sun Sixing made friends with them not because of their status, nor did he have any intention towards Chu Changhua. In recent years, countless young talents have rushed to please Chu Changhua, hoping that Chu Changhua would take a fancy to them and marry them with Chu Cheng.

Chu Changhua has always been surrounded by men with ulterior motives. When he first met Sun Sixing, a man who didn't take Chu Cheng seriously at all, he was bound to have a good impression of him. The two sides got along well along the way.

Sun Sixing and Chu Changhua walked towards the imperial city safely and without any setbacks, but the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were not so happy.

Those assassins and killers were like flies; no matter where the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingwei went, they could find them.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were quiet for a few days, then various groups of people appeared around them, some wanting to kill the Ninth Prince, and some wanting to kill Feng Qingchen. When the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen arrived at a small town outside the imperial city, only thirty of the two hundred soldiers around the Ninth Prince were left.

"Rest for a night and go into the city tomorrow." The Ninth Prince Uncle asked the eight generals to check the safety of the inn. After confirming that there were no problems, he signaled everyone to go downstairs to rest and get their spirits back. They must not lose face for the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

"Yes." Everyone didn't dare to rest, but instead arranged into three shifts to take turns on duty.

After the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen arrived at the room, soldiers brought them clean hot water and utensils to make it easier for them to wash up.

When they went to Xiling, it was Feng Qingchen who served the Ninth Prince all the way. This time it was completely the opposite, because Feng Qingchen had an injury on her shoulder, so it was the Ninth Prince who served Feng Qingchen all the way.

After the Ninth Prince cleaned up Feng Qingchen, he used the water that Feng Qingchen had used to scrub it hastily. Feng Qingchen wanted to ask someone to bring clean water several times, but seeing that the Ninth Prince didn't care, she had to give up and only felt sorry for the Ninth Prince in her heart.

The Ninth Prince was a germaphobe and could not stand using things that had been used by others. However, none of his personal soldiers were careful people, and she had an injury on her shoulder, so the Ninth Prince could only share things with her along the way.

The Ninth Prince turned around and saw Feng Qingchen spreading a clean quilt. He immediately snatched it away and said, "The wound on your shoulder hasn't healed yet. How did you do it as a doctor?"

The Ninth Prince did not like outsiders touching his things. Usually in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, his room was taken care of by the housekeeper himself, and no one was allowed in easily. Similarly, he would not let his personal soldiers come in to make his bed, so he had to do these things himself.

"Don't be so picky. The eggplants have already grown." Feng Qingchen couldn't snatch it from the Ninth Uncle, so he had to put small things like pillows in front of him. By the time the two of them finished cleaning up, they were really tired.

Feng Qingchen fell drowsy not long after lying in bed. Although the Ninth Prince had his eyes closed, he was not sleepy at all. After Feng Qingchen took a deep breath, the Ninth Prince suddenly reached out and lightly touched Feng Qingchen's sleep point.

"Have a good rest." The Ninth Prince gave Feng Qingchen a kiss on the center of his brow, took the pistol from under Feng Qingchen's pillow, and got out of bed.

Outside the door, the eight generals had been standing there. When they saw the Ninth Prince come out, they immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."

"Protect her well. Don't leave until I come back." The Ninth Prince glanced at the eight people coldly and ordered.

The eight generals were worried about the Ninth Uncle, but they did not dare to disobey the Ninth Uncle's orders. They knelt on one knee on the ground and responded very straightforwardly.

The Ninth Prince leaped a few times and disappeared in the inn. No one knew where he went...

At the same time, dozens of black shadows jumped out of the palace. They brought a team of people and went straight to the Ninth Prince's villa outside the city. It was said that the Third Prince was imprisoned there.

When this team arrived at the villa, it was just dawn, which was the darkest moment before dawn. However, this team was not affected by the darkness at all and rushed into the villa as if they were familiar with the way.

The Ninth Prince left the capital, and there were only servants cleaning the villa, with no guards arranged. When this group of people entered the villa, they did not attract the attention of the servants.

"Boss, something feels wrong." In the darkness, the person walking in front paused, not daring to move forward.

"Too quiet, isn't it?" the man called the leader replied coldly.

"Yes, if the Ninth Prince really wants to place people here, he will definitely send people to guard it. This villa is unusually quiet." The man felt uneasy and did not dare to move forward, so he stopped halfway.

The chief thought for a moment and said, "The Ninth Prince is full of tricks. Maybe he is just trying to cover up his mistake. The information we received confirms that the person is here. Don't think too much. We must find him before dawn."

"yes."

The group did not dare to delay any longer. Like ghosts, they searched around the courtyard in the night. After searching for more than half an hour, someone finally discovered the situation: "Boss, there is a trap here."

"Everyone get out of the way, be careful, don't get tricked." After searching for a long time without finding any clues, the leader decided to take a risk even though he knew it might be a trap.

It was almost dawn, and if they returned empty-handed, they would be dead.

"I pressed it." The man who found the mechanism became nervous. He swallowed and pressed his hands on the raised area. A rumbling sound was heard. The people standing outside the house also heard the sound of the secret passage opening, but the servants in the other courtyard still did not react, as if they were dead asleep...
