The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Qi lay on the roof, not daring to move: "Adu, do you think if I move a little and make some noise, the people below will be able to hear it?"

Ah Du had been paying close attention to the movements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When he heard Yang Qi's question, he was a little puzzled: "Miss, do you mean to make a sound like this now?"

Yang Qi was speechless for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, it is like this now."

Ah Du said without pausing: "Everyone's hearing and martial arts skills are different. Most people can't hear such sounds."

Yang Qi listened to the meaning of Adu's words: "So you mean there is someone else who can hear it, is it the person who stopped people?" Then, Yang Qi pointed at Lu Xiaojun who was blocking the gate of the yard.

Adu shook his head: "I don't know how good General Lu's martial arts are." Adu only knew that General Lu's martial arts were very high, much better than his own.

Yang Qi was afraid that he would miss the excitement because of chatting, so he did not ask any further questions.

Prince An was very reluctant to waste time with Lu Xiaojun, so he said, "Lu Xiaojun, today I must see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince safe and sound. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for forcing my way in."

Although Prince An was an idle prince without real power, he had been immersed in the imperial city since he was a child, and he had the royal nobility in his bones. Now, the aura and language of His Royal Highness Prince An showed that he was very unhappy.

Yang Qi was just lying in the corner, but he still felt the anger of His Royal Highness Prince An.

Lu Xiaojun was a general who had fought in the battlefield, so his ability to withstand pressure was naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. Lu Xiaojun did not back down in the face of Prince An's deliberate demonstration.

The two of them had different auras, one strong and one cold, and neither of them was willing to give in.

At this moment, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke the current deadlock: "Uncle Wang came here late at night, I wonder why?"

Yang Qi looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his eyes widened. If he had not personally treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wounds and seen with his own eyes his pale face after being poisoned, Yang Qi would never have believed that the man in front of him with such a good complexion and a dashing appearance was actually the Crown Prince who was seriously injured half an hour ago.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked out of the house at a leisurely pace, wearing a blue robe. His extraordinary demeanor, which was superior to everyone else, made people know at the first glance that he was of extraordinary status.

The moment His Royal Highness appeared, everyone present except Prince An knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness, may His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Hiding behind the eaves, Yang Qi couldn't help but admire the Crown Prince. He was indeed the heir to the throne. Even though he was seriously injured, he could still act so calm.

Besides Yang Qi, there was also His Royal Highness Prince An who was silently gazing at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The moment he saw the Crown Prince, Prince An gave up the idea that the assassin was the Crown Prince himself. His snake venom was the most poisonous in the world, and without an antidote, even the white sandalwood from the Divine Doctor Valley would not be able to wake the Crown Prince up in a short time.

Besides, the antidote for the snake venom was kept close to Prince An, and no one had ever approached it.

"No need to be so polite." As soon as the Crown Prince spoke, Lu Xiaojun stepped aside.

His Royal Highness Prince An stepped forward and took a careful look, then said worriedly: "Your Highness, may you not know that an assassin attempted to kill me today? I am worried that this was specifically aimed at you, so I came here to protect you."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately changed his expression to panic: "Uncle, you have been assassinated? How could such a bold assassin come from? Under the feet of the emperor, such a thing actually happened. Uncle, are you okay?"

His Royal Highness Prince An waved his hand and said, "How can such a villain hurt me? However, the assassins today are very aggressive, so Your Royal Highness should be more careful."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Wang. I will be careful and cautious. When did Uncle Wang come to Lingshan Temple? If I had known that Uncle Wang was coming, I should have greeted him earlier."

Yang Qi was watching from the side and found this scene very exciting. Both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince An were very good at disguising themselves. If someone didn't know the actual situation, they would probably think that this was a scene of harmony between uncle and nephew.

"How could I trouble Your Highness the Crown Prince to greet me? Don't be embarrassed to be laughed at. These days, I have been craving for the tea in Lingshan Temple. This time I came here to ask for a cup of tea, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It's really scary." His Highness Prince An explained with a smile.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a hint of sarcasm: "This is the first time I know that my uncle is a greedy person."

Prince An didn't care about the Crown Prince's teasing: "It's human nature to be greedy and drink too much. I'm relieved that the Crown Prince is fine."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had a worried look on his face: "Uncle, I have been in Lingshan Temple for several days, and these officials' wives have also been here for some time. Everyone is fine. As soon as you arrived, the assassins came out. I am more worried about your safety. Uncle, this time when I came here, my father specifically asked me to bring the Feathered Guards with me. Why not let them protect your safety?"

Without waiting for Prince An to refute, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately said, "Lu Xiaojun, select a team of capable people. Let them be responsible for Uncle Wang's safety during this period in Lingshan Temple. If anything happens to Uncle Wang during this period, Gu Wei and the others will be held responsible!"

Lu Xiaojun immediately saluted and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Xiaojun echoed each other. Prince An was about to open his mouth to refute: "I brought enough people this time, so there is no need..."

Before Prince An finished speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately spoke up, "Uncle, you must not be careless. Since the assassin was able to break out of the siege today under the protection of the guards, if he brings more people with him, the guards around you may find it difficult to resist. Don't worry, uncle, these feathered guards are only outside and will not disturb you."

Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued, "If there were no Feathered Guards to protect me, I would not be able to rest assured."

Although there was concern in his words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at the guards behind Prince An with a cold look. Some people with weak mental endurance began to tremble at this look.

After hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, His Royal Highness Prince An had no choice but to go back with his "escort team".

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his men were acting in the name of protection, what they were actually doing was surveillance.

Prince An caused such a big commotion behind the scenes. Even if the Crown Prince did not send the Feathered Guards to watch overtly, there were still many people sent by the Crown Prince to watch over him secretly.
