Following Chu Jiangnan was Yang Xun.
Yang Xun was restless tonight, and coming with the Emperor made him feel uneasy.
Prince Xuan was not in the palace at this moment.
Without Prince Xuan by his side, Yang Xun always felt insecure.
"Your Majesty, perhaps you could let your subordinate go first to protect the National Master. Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the Prince to return..."
"They are targeting the National Master, they can't wait any longer!"
Chu Jiangnan knew exactly what Prince Yu intended by bringing Lan Fan.
His greatest fear was that if he was a step too late, the National Master would be in danger.
The National Master was already injured, and facing Lan Fan at this time would surely mean he was no match for him!
He was now in grave peril!
Yang Xun had no choice but to follow closely behind the Emperor.
Imperial guards surrounded the Lingjiu Palace from the inside and out when Chu Jiangnan arrived, completely encircling it.
No one knew the situation of the National Master inside, but at least the Emperor's safety was guaranteed.
Everyone knew that Prince Yu harbored ill intentions towards the Emperor!
"Prince Yu, why are you guarding here!" Chu Jiangnan, having rushed, was still catching his breath.
Just as he was about to move forward, his steps faltered.
Yang Xun steadied him, "Your Majesty, please mind your health!"
Prince Yu had expected Chu Jiangnan to arrive, and the current situation was within his calculations.
He immediately pushed his wheelchair forward, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"What is the situation inside? Where is the National Master?" Chu Jiangnan tried to pass him to enter Lingjiu Palace.
Unexpectedly, Prince Yu this time positioned his wheelchair to block him.
"Prince Yu, how dare you!" Chu Jiangnan's face darkened, and he angrily shouted, "Guards!"
He was concerned for the National Master's safety and could not wait another moment.
This was, after all, the imperial palace, filled with royal guards. Even if Prince Yu brought people, he wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of him.
However, today, Prince Yu seemed to disregard it entirely.
He smiled, "Your Majesty, there are assassins in Lingjiu Palace, and the National Master is severely injured. Mr. Lan is currently doing his best to rescue him. If Your Majesty were to go in and disturb them, and something were to happen..."
Seeing that Chu Jiangnan paid him no heed,
The guards also approached Prince Yu, intending to move his wheelchair aside.
Prince Yu's expression turned grim, and he suddenly said coldly, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Lan clan and the people of Nanming, I cannot let you enter tonight."
"Do you think this is a place where you can be so presumptuous?" Chu Jiangnan waved his hand.
Yang Xun stepped forward, ready to act.
Prince Yu, however, remained unfazed and said, "Your Majesty, the assassins tonight are from your sleeping quarters."
"What?" Chu Jiangnan's eyes darkened.
Yang Xun was also taken aback, looking back at the Emperor, unsure whether to immediately push Prince Yu aside.
People from the Emperor's sleeping quarters? What did that mean? Who was it?
"The assassin is the girl who slept in Your Majesty's dragon bed recently, Chu Qianli."
"Deceiving the Emperor is a capital offense!"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes."
Amidst the chaos, a person emerged from the main gate of Lingjiu Palace and slowly walked towards Chu Jiangnan.
The moment he saw him, Chu Jiangnan felt his vision blur, as if struck by a dazzling light, and he almost lost his footing.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Xun immediately noticed his distress and quickly turned to support him, "Your Majesty..."
Chu Jiangnan waved his hand.
He raised his eyes, still trying to get a clear look at Lan Fan.
But this time, not only could he not see Lan Fan clearly, but everything around him also seemed to blur.
He couldn't see anything clearly!
