"It seems that Lord Jiang's concern is related to an agreement." Du Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Jiang Yujing was stunned when he heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure. He nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and responded: "Princess, you are indeed smart. Since you have seen through it, then I will not hide it anymore."

Du Yunsheng chuckled, with an inquiring look in her eyes. She gently smoothed her clothes and said, "Master Jiang, please tell me. Yunsheng would like to hear the details."

Jiang Yujing said slowly: "A few years ago, the Western Wei and Daliang fought each other, and both sides won and lost. In order to seek peace, the Western Wei and Daliang reached a ceasefire agreement, one of which was the exchange of hostages. The Western Wei sent a grandson of the emperor, and Daliang sent a princess. This princess is the friend I met in Daliang."

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, understanding what he meant: "So this agreement is related to this princess?"

"That's right." Jiang Yujing said, "This princess' name is Zixuan. She is smart, beautiful, kind, and unforgettable. We met in Daliang and formed a deep friendship. Before we parted, she made a promise to me that if there was ever a war between Western Wei and Daliang, she would be willing to mediate and seek peace for the people of both countries."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with sympathy, and she said softly: "So, Lord Jiang is thinking of this Princess Zixuan."

Jiang Yujing was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Yes. Over the years, I have never forgotten this agreement, and I have always paid attention to the dynamics between the two countries. Now, the relationship between Western Wei and Daliang is becoming increasingly tense. I am worried that once this war breaks out, it will affect countless innocent people. Therefore, I have been trying to delay time and wait for Princess Zixuan to appear."

Du Yunsheng sighed, she stood up, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and thought: "War is cruel after all. It is not easy for Lord Jiang to care about the people so much. So, does Lord have any clues to find this Princess Zixuan?"

Jiang Yujing shook her head. "There are almost no clues. I only know that she is in the palace of Daliang. I don't know her exact location and identity. But over the years, I have sent people to search secretly. I believe that one day I will find something."

Du Yunsheng turned around and looked at Jiang Yujing, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "In this case, Yunsheng is willing to lend a helping hand to Lord Jiang. Western Wei is adjacent to Daliang. I will send people to infiltrate Daliang at an appropriate time to find the whereabouts of Princess Zixuan."

Jiang Yujing's eyes flashed with gratitude. He stood up and bowed deeply to Du Yunsheng: "Princess, I am very grateful for your generous help. If we can find Princess Zixuan, Western Wei and Daliang may really be able to avoid a war."

Du Yunsheng smiled and helped Jiang Yujing up: "Master Jiang, you are too kind. Yunsheng is just doing his best."

"Princess, I have another request." Jiang Yujing hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Master Jiang, please feel free to speak."

Jiang Yujing said in a deep voice: "It may take more than a day to find Princess Zixuan. Jiang would like to ask the princess to allow me to stay in Prince Jing's mansion so that we can discuss countermeasures at any time."

Du Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "In that case, Lord Jiang, please do as you please. The door of Prince Jing's Mansion is always open to Lord Jiang."

Jiang Yujing was delighted to get Du Yunsheng's permission.

At this time, a maid hurried into the study, holding a secret letter in her hand. Du Yunsheng took the secret letter, opened it, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Jiang Yujing noticed Du Yunsheng's change and asked with concern.

Du Yunsheng handed the secret letter to Jiang Yujing: "This is a secret letter from Daliang State. The letter mentioned that Princess Zixuan has been imprisoned by the rebels and her life or death is uncertain."

Jiang Yujing took the secret letter, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "It seems that we can't delay any longer, we must act as soon as possible."

Du Yunsheng nodded in agreement: "Master Jiang is right, we should prepare immediately and sneak into Daliang Kingdom."

One day, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan were discussing in the study when a maid ran over and said breathlessly, "My Lord, my Princess, this is bad! A group of assassins suddenly broke into the residence of the Dali Temple Minister. It's uncertain whether Lord Jiang is alive or dead!"

Du Yunsheng's face turned pale when she heard this. She stood up and said to Jiang Shaohan, "Shaohan, I must go to the residence of the Dali Temple Minister immediately."

A trace of worry flashed across Jiang Shaohan's eyes. He stood up and said to Du Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, I'll go with you."

The two men quickly rushed to the residence of the Dali Temple Minister, only to see that the house was in a mess and covered in blood.

Du Yunsheng's heart tightened. She rushed into the mansion and saw Jiang Yujing lying on the ground, seriously injured.

"Lord Jiang!" Du Yunsheng exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes.

Jiang Yujing forced a smile and said to Du Yunsheng, "Princess, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little injured."

Du Yunsheng was touched. Jiang Yujing was seriously injured just to protect her. She held Jiang Yujing's hand tightly, and tears fell on the back of his hand.

"Lord Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely find Princess Zixuan and seek justice for the Daliang Kingdom." Du Yunsheng's voice was firm, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Yujing smiled and nodded: "Princess, I believe you."

At this time, Princess Zixuan of Daliang slowly walked into the house. Her face was pale, and fear and anxiety flashed in her eyes.

"Lord Jiang, Princess Jing, are you talking about me?" Princess Zixuan's voice trembled slightly. She tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them vigilantly.

Du Yunsheng immediately stepped forward and gently patted Princess Zixuan on the shoulder: "Princess, you are here. We are discussing how to find clues to your disappearance and seek justice for the Daliang Kingdom."

Princess Zixuan's eyes flashed with gratitude, but she still said nervously: "I... I don't know what happened. I only remember that I was walking in the garden that day, and then I don't remember anything."

Jiang Yujing frowned and asked, "Princess, do you have any enemies or enemies? Is your disappearance related to these people?"

Princess Zixuan pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I have no grudges against anyone, but my relationship with Daliang is complicated. Perhaps someone wants to sow discord between the two countries by attacking me."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a cold light: "If this is true, we must be extra careful. Princess, was there anything unusual before you disappeared?"

Princess Zixuan recalled: "The day before I disappeared, I received an anonymous letter saying that if I didn't want to suffer any misfortune, I should not leave the palace. But I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect such a thing to happen the next day."

Jiang Yujing's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "This anonymous letter may be the key for us to find the murderer. Princess, can you help me find the source of this letter?"

Du Yunsheng nodded in agreement: "Of course, I will send someone to check it out immediately. Lord Jiang, how do you think we should divide the work?"

Jiang Yujing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, the princess will be responsible for investigating the source of the anonymous letter, and I will be responsible for investigating the princess' whereabouts on the day she disappeared. We will cooperate with each other and find the murderer together."
