Du Yuwei frowned and recalled: "He just said that he had official business to deal with, and didn't tell me the details. However, I felt that he seemed to be worried about something."

Du Yunsheng tapped the table lightly, thinking: "It seems that we have to start with Zheng Zhuoling's official business to see if there are any clues."

As the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside, then the door was pushed open, and Jiang Shaohan walked in with his head held high.

"Yun Sheng, Yu Wei, what are you talking about?" Jiang Shaohan asked with a smile.

Du Yunsheng looked up, smiled slightly, and said, "We are discussing the cause of Zheng Zhuoling's death. Does Your Majesty know any clues?"

Jiang Shaohan said solemnly: "I have sent people to investigate, but no useful clues have been found so far. However, I always feel that this incident is not accidental, and there must be someone behind it."

Du Yuwei said worriedly: "What should we do? Will the murderer attack us?"

Jiang Shaohan patted the table and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will strengthen the guard of the palace to ensure your safety. As for the murderer, I will definitely bring him to justice."

One day, Du Yunsheng was admiring the flowers in the garden. Du Yuwei came over and said with a somewhat uneasy look: "Sister, I just heard that someone found a secret letter in Zheng Zhuoling's study."

A hint of surprise flashed in Du Yunsheng's eyes: "Secret letter? Take me to see it."

The two came to Zheng Zhuoling's study and saw a wax-sealed letter on the desk. On the envelope were written the words "Zheng Zhuoling's personal letter".

Du Yunsheng carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter. The content of the letter surprised her. It turned out that Zheng Zhuoling had known the identity of the murderer before his death and planned to arrest him one night.

"Yuwei, look, this is the clue left by Zheng Zhuoling." Du Yunsheng said excitedly.

Du Yuwei took the letter, a firm look flashed in her eyes: "Sister, we must find the murderer and avenge Zheng Zhuoling."

However, just as they were preparing to act, there was a sudden commotion in Prince Jing's mansion.

"Oh no, Princess, Prince, someone broke into the palace!" A guard hurried over to report.

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan immediately led the guards to check. They saw a man in black trying to climb over the wall and they quickly surrounded him.

Du Yunsheng stared at the man in black with sharp eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why did you break into Prince Jing's mansion?"

The man in black clenched his teeth and said nothing. The guards surrounded him vigilantly, fearing that he would suddenly attack.

Jiang Shaohan frowned, his eyes deep. He slowly walked up to the man in black and said calmly, "If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

A trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the man in black, but he remained stubbornly silent. Du Yunsheng sneered and turned to the guards and said, "Take him to the torture room and let him have a taste of our methods."

The guards responded and took the man in black away. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan returned to the mansion, and the guards immediately closed the mansion door and strengthened the defense.

Du Yunsheng sat in the hall, thinking for a moment, and then said to Jiang Shaohan: "There must be something fishy about this matter, we must deal with it carefully."

Jiang Shaohan nodded and said, "I have ordered people to investigate this person's identity and make sure to get to the bottom of it."

At this time, a maid hurried in, holding a letter in her hand, and presented it to Du Yunsheng. Du Yunsheng opened the envelope and stared at it. The letter read: "Princess, Prince, hello. I am a man of the underworld, and I have come to inform you that someone wants to harm Prince Jing's mansion. Be careful."

There was no signature or specific name in the letter, only a string of strange symbols.

Du Yunsheng handed the letter to Jiang Shaohan. They looked at each other and both felt the seriousness of the situation.

As night fell, the lights in Prince Jing's mansion were on. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan had a secret conversation in the study.

Du Yunsheng said: "This letter does not seem to be a malicious warning, but a real reminder. We must find out who is behind this."

Jiang Shaohan pondered and said, "I have sent out secret guards to find out the truth. In addition, we must strengthen the defense of the palace and not let anyone break in easily."

As the two were talking, a secret guard suddenly broke into the study with a panicked look on his face.

"My Lord, Princess, something bad has happened! Someone is setting traps around the palace, and it seems like they are going to harm us."

Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan immediately stood up, walked out of the study, summoned the guards, and prepared to respond.

In the darkness of night, outside Prince Jing's mansion, there were many traps, and the secret guards and imperial guards were on high alert.

Du Yunsheng stood on the city wall, observing the surroundings with sharp eyes. Jiang Shaohan was beside her, looking serious.

"Princess, this trap is so ingeniously set, it must have been done by a master."

Du Yunsheng nodded: "That's right, we must not underestimate the enemy. Secret guards, you split into two teams, one team is responsible for protecting the palace, and the other team will investigate the source of the trap."

The secret guard took the order and left, while Du Yunsheng and Shao Han returned to the study to continue discussing countermeasures.

Suddenly, a secret guard ran hurriedly and reported: "My Lord, Princess, the source of the trap has been found out. It was done by the famous assassin organization 'Shadow' in the Jianghu."

Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with a cold light: "'Shadow'? Why would they attack us?"

Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said, "This matter involves a lot of things, we need to think about it carefully. The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the palace."

Jiang Shaohan nodded and said, "I have ordered people to strengthen the defense, and the secret guards will also do their best to deal with it. We must protect the palace."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound outside the window, and the two immediately became alert. Jiang Shaohan drew out his sword and prepared to respond.

Du Yunsheng whispered, "Be careful, it might be someone from 'Shadow'."

Jiang Shaohan nodded, and the two walked out of the study together, only to see a man in black trying to sneak into the palace.

Du Yunsheng said coldly: "Are you from Shadow?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Yes, I will take your lives today."

Jiang Shaohan brandished his sword and started a fierce battle with the man in black, while Du Yunsheng commanded the guards to defend tightly.

During the battle, Du Yunsheng saw that Jiang Shaohan was in danger, and his heart tightened. He immediately used his Qinggong skills to go to support him.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Du Yunsheng shouted tenderly, and the sword flashed like a thread, going straight to the vital point of the man in black.

The man in black was startled and immediately stepped back to confront Du Yunsheng. Jiang Shaohan took the opportunity to catch his breath and adjust his condition.

"Princess, be careful!" Jiang Shaohan warned loudly, while swinging his sword at the man in black.

"Princess, this time it's all thanks to you."

Du Yunsheng smiled softly: "Your Majesty, we are a couple and we can break metal with our united will."

Under the cover of night, Prince Jing's Mansion returned to peace again.

……

Hearing this, Du Yunsheng sneered: "Is this how you beg people?"

Du Yuwei's face turned pale instantly. She bit her lip and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes, but still responded with gritted teeth:

"Sister, I know I did something wrong before, but this time I mean it sincerely. Please help me for the sake of our family."

Du Yunsheng smiled lightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Family? When did you treat me as your sister?"
