I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

When Yang Zhao stepped into the palace, he really didn't expect to see such a scene...

"Yang Zhao, we meet again..." The person who walked out from behind the screen was Lin Fan, who absolutely could not appear here, in this palace.

His eyes were full of resentment and viciousness, and the way he looked at Yang Zhao was like a jackal wandering in the wilderness.

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the 'emperor' with his back to him turned around, and as expected, it was the eldest prince Huangfu Yu.

"Your Highness, Prince of Yu." Even though it had come to this, Yang Zhao still saluted.

"Submit to me, or die. What is your choice, General Yang?"

The eldest prince, now the Prince of Yu, looked at Yang Zhao with admiration. He was actually very reluctant to kill Yang Zhao. After all, everyone loves talent.

"The Yang family is loyal to the emperors of all generations. You have not yet ascended the throne and are still called Prince of Yu. If I submit to you, wouldn't that be tacitly helping you in your rebellion? My Yang family is small, not enough to be killed."

Yang Zhao's tone was calm, as if he was telling a common story, but his words were enough to make the person in front of him angry.

"Then General Yang has chosen to die. He has great courage. Someone, please send our General Yang to prison and let him calm down." As Prince Yu gave the order in a cold voice, the guards outside the door pushed open and entered, intending to arrest Yang Zhao.

"I will go by myself." Yang Zhao just smiled, glanced at Lin Fan, turned around and left with the guards.

Yang Zhao's voice came from outside the door. "Your Highness Prince Yu, listen to my advice. Lin Fan can sell out his former comrades today, and he can sell out his country for glory tomorrow. Be careful not to get tricked."

When Lin Fan heard these words, his face changed and he looked at Prince Yu with a pale face. Prince Yu also looked at him and said casually, "It's just a plot to alienate them. I won't take it to heart."

As to whether he really takes it to heart, only he knows.

There is no one who wants to be emperor who is not suspicious.

……

The sun was setting in the west and the snow was falling. Yang Liu and the others couldn't help but frown as they hadn't seen Yang Zhao come back yet.

"Why has Ah Zhao been gone for so long? Did something happen to him?" Liu Ruying spoke first, her face full of worry.

In Yangliu's room, a group of people sat together, with sadness in everyone's eyes.

At this moment, Lingzhi rushed in from outside the door, panting and looking anxious.

"Oh no! It seems that the Second Young Master was thrown into prison for contradicting the Emperor!"

Yang Liu frowned, looking thoughtful, "Impossible, Ah Zhao has always been calm and composed, it is impossible for him to contradict the emperor, something must have happened!"

It seems that the emperor has not attended court in recent days, claiming to be ill and resting, and the eldest prince is acting in charge of government affairs.

"Oh no!" Yang Liu felt a headache when she figured out the key point. She had completely forgotten about the little actions of the eldest prince and Lin Fan, and did not notice that Yang Zhao went to see the emperor.

"Ling'er, hurry up! Go and ask your father to come over! Otherwise it will be too late!" Then, Yang Liu immediately called Huangfu Ling, with no false panic in her eyes.

"Brother Yuzhou, what's going on?" Huangfu Ling had never seen Yang Liu lose his composure like this, and asked hurriedly.

"I will tell you in detail when my father-in-law comes. Go quickly! Lingzhi, you go with Ling'er!" Yang Liu didn't care about so many things. The earlier they went, the better their chances of winning.

"No need. Since you're in a hurry, I'll ride back directly! Brother Yuzhou, wait for me!" Seeing Yang Liu so anxious, she no longer questioned and quickly got up and ran out the door.

On the road that Huangfu Ling had to pass, several figures in black flashed by, and a hemp rope was pulled straight, just waiting for Huangfu Ling to run past.

After Huangfu Ling left, Yang Liu felt more and more uneasy, and his mind was in a mess for a while.

"Lingzhi, go get some paper and pen!"

She must keep a backup plan and complete the mission even if she dies!

As Lingzhi prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yang Liu went down barefoot and walked to the desk. He wrote dozens of sheets of letter paper stroke by stroke, sealed them one by one, and handed them to Lingzhi.

"Lingzhi, listen to me. If something happens to me, the young master, you should give these letters to Ling'er and A Zhao. You have to protect the Yang family. Do you understand?" Yang Liu's eyes were too serious. Lingzhi wanted to ask something, but she couldn't say anything when she opened her mouth.

"Got it, young master." Lingzhi held the letter and nodded.

After finishing all these, Huangfu Ling and Huangfu Ce still hadn't arrived. It was strange, too strange. The Wang Mansion and the Yang Mansion were not very far away, and since she had specifically instructed Huangfu Ling to hurry, it was impossible that they hadn't arrived for so long.

Thinking of this, Yang Liu frowned. It couldn't be worse, right?

"Yu Zhou, I picked up a letter at the door..." Liu Ruying stepped into the room and interrupted Yang Liu's wandering thoughts.

Startled by this, Yang Liu hurriedly took the letter from Liu Ruying's hand and opened it, and every word fell into Yang Liu's eyes.

"Yang Yuzhou, your good Ling'er is in my hands. Today at midnight, at the Heartbreak Cliff, if you don't come, you can only talk in the underworld."

Every word revealed the other party's arrogance, and the villain's face seemed to be right in front of him.

"This beast!" Yang Liu was so angry that she crumpled the letter and punched the table. Blood flowed out, but she didn't feel any pain.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yang Liu's big reaction, Liu Ruying hurriedly pried open the letter with Yang Liu's fingertips and unfolded it to take a closer look. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but as soon as she saw it, Liu Ruying's face turned pale.

"Yu Zhou, what should we do? Xiao Ling'er..." Liu Ruying's hands were shaking, her eyes filled with fear.

"Cousin, prepare a horse for me, I'm going to save Ling'er." Yang Liu looked at Liu Ruying, his eyes full of fearlessness.

"No! No! Lin Fan is definitely going to harm you! Don't go, don't go!" Liu Ruying was scared. She hurriedly grabbed Yang Liu's sleeve, her eyes full of despair, trying to beg Yang Liu to stay.

"If I don't go, who will save Ling'er? Cousin, it's okay, I will definitely bring Ling'er back safely..." Yang Liu turned around, pulled away Liu Ruying's hand, and put it on her shoulder to comfort her softly.

"But...but..." Liu Ruying was already panicking and at a loss.

"It's okay, cousin, just stay home and wait for us to come back." After saying that, Yang Liu turned around, put on her boots, picked up some clothes from the rack and put them on, and went out.

A black horse galloped out from the main gate of Yang Mansion, and on the horse was Yang Liu, who was dressed in a snow-white single dress. She was in a hurry to go out, so she only wore a thin piece of clothing casually. After all, she was going to die, so there was no need to wrap herself too tightly.

After turning off the system's perception, Yang Liu flew across the night sky like a light swallow.

On the other side, at the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Lin Fan dragged Huangfu Ling to the edge of the cliff, waiting for people to wake up.

Not far away were the twenty plainclothes officers and soldiers brought by Lin Fan. He was not a fool, so he naturally brought helpers with him.

Huangfu Ling looked miserable at this moment, his clothes were dirty, his knees, hands, feet and cheeks had varying degrees of abrasions, his hair was disheveled and he was unconscious.

Compared to liking Huangfu Ling, Lin Fan's current look is more like a madness of not being able to get her. He no longer cares about beauty, power, and wealth, he just wants Yang Liu to die.
