As soon as Yi Yuxuan finished speaking, Yun Xiao's expression turned cold, her body felt frigid, and her words grew even colder.
“If Shangguan Yao set a trap at the imperial mausoleum, it means he guessed that Murong is the Crown Prince. So who leaked his information?”
After Yun Xiao spoke, she raised her head and scanned the people in the hall, looking at each of them in turn. Only these people knew that Murong was the Crown Prince. Could it be that they had leaked the news?
Everyone was startled and terrified. They all knew clearly that only those present in the hall knew Murong was the Crown Prince.
Even the people from the Divine Dragon Palace were not entirely clear. So who had leaked such a matter?
Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak, Shangguan Lin suddenly lunged forward, grabbed Yun Zhen by his collar, and roared, “You must have done this, you scoundrel! You like your sister, and you harmed your imperial brother because you didn’t want your imperial brother to be with Yun Xiao, right?”
As Shangguan Lin’s words fell, the people in the hall were stunned again. This was truly one wave after another, what was going on?
Yun Xiao and Yun Zhen’s faces darkened simultaneously, and they glared coldly at Shangguan Lin.
Yun Zhen roared, “Shangguan Lin, are you crazy?”
“I’m not crazy, do you think I can’t see? You like Yun Xiao, so you must resent my imperial brother, so you must have leaked it. Otherwise, who else could it be? Who else?”
The two men began fighting in the hall. Prince Yun, terrified and heartbroken by the scene before him, turned to look at Yun Xiao on the side and asked, “Is what Prince Shangguan said true?”
Yun Xiao didn’t know what to say. She wanted to shake her head, but her father’s tall figure had already rushed forward and struck down with a palm, aiming at Yun Zhen with great force.
Yun Xiao was stunned and screamed, “Father!”
Yun Zhen turned his head, his face pale, blood seeping from the corner of his lips. He looked blankly at his father, then at everyone in the hall, and roared.
“I do like Xiao'er, but only because I am her brother, so I let go of her hand and blessed her. Does that mean it’s destined that I leaked the secret?”
After he finished speaking, his body swayed, and he turned and rushed out.
Yun Xiao followed closely behind him, taking two steps, and instructed the guards at the door, “Quick, go chase after Young Master Yun.”
The guards went to chase after him. Yun Xiao returned and stared intently at Shangguan Lin, speaking word by word.
“Shangguan Lin, I believe my brother. He said he blessed Murong and me. I’ve thought about it. This matter is probably not anyone’s fault. It’s very likely that the Jade Dragon Talisman was discovered. You can think about it. If the Jade Dragon Talisman was discovered, Shangguan Yao would definitely connect many things. Coupled with the fact that Murong saved the Yun family, he is not a fool. With so many events, he would guess it with a little connection.”
In the main hall, everyone thought it over and grew disheartened. Yun Mo was even more heartbroken. He had clearly wronged his son. His gaze shifted towards the entrance, and he saw that the guards who had chased after them had returned and reported respectfully.
“Miss Yun, Young Master Yun has gone down the mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yao’s face became embarrassed, and he couldn’t help but feel regret. “It’s all my fault.”
His impulsive nature hadn’t changed. Miss Murong on the side started crying again, extremely sad. The thought of Murong Gege being captured made her feel that life was hopeless.
Yun Xiao glared coldly at her. Murong Yingxue was intimidated. To be honest, she was now very afraid of this woman, so she dared not provoke her again.
A cold chill flowed through the hall. Yun Xiao felt a murderous intent, wishing she could immediately charge into the palace to rescue Murong. But where was Murong?
Although she knew he was definitely in the imperial palace, the palace was vast, and she was not very familiar with Jingfu Palace.
The main hall fell into silence. Everything said now was false; only finding a way to rescue Murong was true.
“Did Murong say anything else? How many people died this time?”
Yun Xiao looked at Liu Feng and Yi Yuxuan. The two lowered their heads and slowly spoke, “Master said that if anything happened to him, you and Prince Shangguan should go to the capital and support Prince to be the Emperor.” Yi Yuxuan said in a deep voice.
Liu Feng on the side continued heartbrokenly, “The people from Rouge Pavilion, led by Can Hong, are basically all dead.”
Perhaps Mo Ruyan was sometimes too arrogant to bear, but everyone in the palace had witnessed her actions. Thinking that she had died, Liu Feng still felt very sad, as if something was stuck in his heart, and his voice became hoarse.
Everyone felt heartache.
Shangguan Lin on the side, upon hearing Yi Yuxuan and Liu Feng’s words, had already jumped up in anger. “What kind of talk is this? This Prince will never be Emperor. That is my imperial brother’s position. We should find a way to rescue him.”
The latter part of the plan, everyone agreed with.
Yun Xiao scanned the people in the main hall. Regardless of the foolish things they had done before, their purpose now was unified: to rescue Murong.
But Murong was now in Shangguan Yao’s hands. Only by knowing his current location could they find a way to rescue him.
“Alright, let’s assign some tasks.”
Yun Xiao spoke decisively. Everyone gathered around the round table to discuss the next rescue plan.
In the main hall, Yun Xiao’s voice rang out again.
“Prince Shangguan and Yi Yuxuan, go to the capital to find the Minister of War, Lan Qinglun. Why did the Emperor make such a big fuss, and he didn’t feel anything? If this is the case, it means the Emperor suspects the Minister of War. You will assist him secretly and must protect the military power, not let Shangguan Yao seize it.”
“Yes.”
Yi Yuxuan and Shangguan Lin nodded.
Yun Xiao glanced at her father and Prime Minister Sima. “The two elders should stay at the mountain villa. Because if you return to the capital and are seen, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.”
“Good.”
Yun Mo and Sima Qingyun understood this and did not object. Finally, they looked at Yun Xiao together. She slowly said, “I want to enter the palace.”
“Ah, that’s too dangerous!”
Yun Mo and Shangguan Lin exclaimed. It was too dangerous to enter the palace now. The Emperor already knew she was the foolish daughter of Prince Yun’s mansion. If she were captured again, what would happen?
“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger cub? Murong is likely in the Emperor’s hands. If he is really captured by the Emperor, would he dare to imprison Murong in the Ministry of Justice? The most likely place is within the imperial palace. Besides, he hasn’t obtained the Jade Dragon Talisman yet.”
The Jade Dragon Talisman was still in Yunshui Mountain Villa. Murong had placed it in his study back then. During the few days he was missing, she had gone to see it. He hadn’t brought the Jade Dragon Talisman with him. As long as the Jade Dragon Talisman was not brought, that man would not harm him in a short time.
“But?”
Yun Mo was extremely worried, regretting in his heart why he had struck his son in a fit of anger before. At least with his son there, he could protect Xiao'er! But thinking about it now was useless.
“Father, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt me. Also, Liu Xing Zhui Yue, and Chasing Wind, you should accompany me into the palace.”
