After An An reminded them, Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi quickly cut a piece of cloth from the hem of their clothes and covered their mouths and noses with it.
After completing this operation, Leng Yu looked at Huang Yun with a frown.
At this moment, Huang Yun lowered his head in shame.
Leng Yu instructed Zhang Yuan:
"Help her untie it."
Zhang Yuan was a little hesitant.
"Your Highness, she is a liar and a spy. She cannot be freed."
"We are now on the same page, so who she is doesn't matter."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan reluctantly stepped forward and untied the rope on Huang Yun. Huang Yun hurriedly took off the handkerchief stuffed in her mouth.
Huang Yun looked at Leng Yu, shrank back, blushed, and muttered softly,
"Prince Yu, thank you."
Leng Yu didn't even glance at her, but stood up and went to the door with Zhang Yuan and the others to find a way out.
But after searching around, they found nothing.
Zhang Yuan looked at the door with some worry.
"Do Xiao Ningzi and A Yu A Hou know that we are trapped here?"
Little Tanzi shook his head. "I seemed to see a figure flash outside just now. I suspect someone has locked us up here on purpose."
Leng Yu folded his arms, frowning deeply.
"There's no doubt that Leng Xi has plotted against us. Right now, we just hope they're safe out there."
He knew that this thought of his was just to comfort himself. Since Leng Xi wanted to plot against them, how could he not be discovered by the Twins and Ah Hou who were guarding outside?
Once they were discovered, a war was inevitable, but he prayed silently in his heart that nothing would happen to them.
At this time, Xiao Ningzi and Aguo were really fighting with the people from Xiwang Mansion.
Ah Yu, who was guarding outside, heard the fighting inside, jumped over the high wall and rushed in. Ah Hou shouted to him directly:
"Hurry, go back and tell the princess that we've fallen into a trap."
Before anyone could react, Leng Xi waved his hand, and then a group of people rushed towards A Yu.
Without time to think, Ayu turned around, jumped onto the high wall, and left Xiwang Mansion.
Leng Xi immediately stopped the person who was about to chase him.
"Stop chasing."
So, these people turned back and joined the battle to besiege Ahou and Xiao Ningzi.
Although Xiao Ningzi and Ahou were both very good at martial arts, a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves. In addition, Leng Xi had made arrangements in advance and placed all his masters here. After a while, Xiao Ningzi and Ahou were captured alive.
Looking at the countless swords on their necks, Leng Xi raised his eyebrows proudly.
"General Ning, General Ahou, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to my Xiwang Mansion? What do you want to do? Are you an assassin?"
Ah Hou glared at him and scolded him harshly:
"Lengxi, be smart and release our prince quickly, or you will be in trouble."
"Hahaha...your prince? Where is he? He wouldn't sneak into my Prince Xi's Mansion on a moonless night like you did, would he? Tsk tsk tsk tsk...I really didn't realize that people from your Prince Yu's Mansion have such a habit? Is this the way your Prince Yu taught you to behave?"
"Stop talking nonsense! You dare to lock up our prince? Before tomorrow, the princess will lead her men to raze your Xiwang Mansion to the ground."
"Hahahaha... You have no evidence at all. What makes you say Leng Yu is in my Xiwang Mansion? This is outrageous! Come on, hang them both up and beat them to death."
"Lengxi, you are so despicable. Please release our prince. Otherwise, I will never let you go even if I die."
"Lengxi, you despicable villain..."
The more they cursed, the more excited Leng Xi became, with a triumphant smile on his lips.
His original plan was not like this. He originally intended to lock the two women in another unknown warehouse, but then he thought, there would be a life-and-death battle between him and Leng Yu sooner or later, so why not get rid of him now?
If he could be eliminated before he ascended the throne, he could naturally take over Leng Yu's position and sit on the throne.
The most regrettable thing now is that the imperial seal is not in his hands. Without the imperial seal, the throne is just an empty shell. This is why he asked A Yu to escape from Prince Xi's Mansion just now.
He predicted that Luo Lan would bring people to Leng Yu's house overnight when she knew Leng Yu was in the Hexi Palace. Then, he would ask her to exchange the jade seal for Leng Yu. Getting the jade seal was equivalent to getting the throne.
Not only that, he also decided to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Leng Yu and Liu Luolan together, so that no one would compete with him for the throne.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, so excited that he roared to the sky, so excited that the woman he had been thinking about appeared before him.
"Xiao Min, I'm going to be the emperor soon. It would be great if you were alive. Can you be my queen?"
After a period of sadness, he clenched his fists, walked into the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion, and waited quietly for Luo Lan to come.
…
A Yu rode his horse at full speed and returned to Prince Yu's mansion at a crazy speed.
Luo Lan sat in the main hall with a solemn expression, staring at the door intently. She kept praying in her heart, hoping that she could see Leng Yu and An An appear in front of her.
But the result disappointed her. She only saw A Yu running back with sweat all over his forehead.
In such cold weather, Ayu was exhausted, sweating and panting. She knew something must have happened.
Sure enough, Ayu came to her and reported hurriedly,
"Princess, something happened. The prince and his men fell into a trap."
These words dragged Luo Lan from heaven to hell.
All her fantasies vanished in this instant.
Ayu's words brought her back to reality.
She stood up and asked with a serious expression:
"What's going on?"
"According to the prince's instructions, I was guarding the door outside, while Xiao Ningzi and the Empress stood guard at the door of Lengxi's study. The prince went in with Brother Zhang and Brother Tan. But a moment later, I heard sounds of fighting coming from the yard. I knew something was wrong and wanted to go in to help. As soon as I entered, the Empress called me back to tell you that they had fallen into a trap..."
Luo Lan's face turned pale at this moment.
Now she is the only person in charge in the palace, what should she do?
At this time, she calmed down and instructed Ah Hong and Ah Cai:
"Ah Cai, go inform my father and have him come to Prince Yu's mansion immediately. Ah Hong, go inform Prince Ming and the Second Miss and have them come together to discuss countermeasures. Remember, don't tell them directly that something happened to the prince, just say that I invited them here."
Acai and Ahong both clasped their fists in response and hurried out the door.
Luo Lan looked at A Yu again and asked solemnly:
"When you left Xiwang Mansion, was there no one chasing you?"
Ayu shook his head in surprise.
"That's a bit strange. Those people wanted to chase after me, but Leng Xi called them back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so quickly to report the news."
Leng Xi did not stop him. It seemed that he deliberately let A Yu come back to report the news. Why did he do this?
