Ying looked at the group of people who helped him. Among them was a middle-aged man who looked very tough and was obviously their leader.

Although the waiter's calves were trembling, he did not forget what he was doing: "How dare you, you are so bold, under the feet of the emperor, eating, eating without paying is fine, how, how dare you, hit people?"

The middle-aged man didn't want to waste any more time, so he threw a silver ingot to the waiter and turned to Ying and said, "Sir, could you please have a drink with me?"

With just a glance from the middle-aged man, he kicked down several thugs one by one, separating them from the people and forming a protective circle.

Ying glanced at the middle-aged man and smiled faintly: "Okay, please lead the way."

The two followers following behind Shadow looked confused? Is it that simple?

Before he could even utter a word, he was so frightened by the glare he received that he swallowed it back.

After coming out of the restaurant, the two followers were confused. It turned out that their identities were so special.

The eldest brother’s name is not Ying. He is the ninth in the family, so they have to call him Ninth Brother from now on.

And they are not just secret guards with cold numbers, they have their own names.

Shu Wenbo, Liang Tianyou.

They're all very nice names.

……

As soon as they returned to Lexiao Courtyard, Yizhu and Luoman were shocked when they saw Li Shuangwan's appearance: "Princess, what's wrong? What happened?"

Ling Heng released Li Shuangwan's hand, which he had been tightly holding, and ordered the two of them, "Help the princess bathe and change clothes."

He gently held her shoulders and said softly, "Ah Wan, were you scared in the palace today? It's okay, I'll be there for you. Take a good rest after taking a bath. If you need anything, call me. I'll be with you in the yard."

Li Shuangwan nodded, and before stepping into the room, she looked back at the man.

At this time, Ling Heng stood under the huge kapok tree in Lexiao Courtyard with his hands behind his back.

He was exactly the same as the person in my dream yesterday.

He is tall and has an upright posture.

The servants around him called him "Your Majesty". Apart from Ling Heng, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

But it was obvious that he killed her.

He even set the Northern Jin Dynasty's imperial palace on fire. He was a member of the Ling family, and doing so would surely cause an uproar inside and outside the court.

Could it be that he was later surrounded and attacked because of this incident?

Li Shuangwan shook his head and refused to think about it. No matter what, he, Ling Heng, had an irreconcilable feud with her.

Everything he did after she died was a pathetic, sad joke.

Ling Heng seemed to feel that she was looking at him and turned his head. Li Shuangwan had no time to dodge and her deep eyes collided with his.

Ling Heng smiled slightly: "Go ahead, don't be afraid, I'm not going anywhere, I'll wait for you here."

Li Shuangwan almost fled.

After entering the bathroom, Yizhu took off Li Shuangwan's cloak. When he saw that her gorgeous clothes were covered with mud, he was about to cry.

Luo Man was already anxiously asking, "Princess, what happened in the palace? Where's Qinglian? Why didn't she come back?"

Yizhu also looked worried: "Princess, what did His Highness mean by what he said just now?"

Then he checked her body for any injuries.

Li Shuangwan smiled and stopped the two of them: "I'm fine, Qinglian is dead."

It was like a bolt from the blue that struck their brains.

Qinglian is dead. The man who raised his eyebrows provocatively at them in the morning is dead just like that!

"Dead? How could he die, Princess? What happened?"

Li Shuangwan briefly told the two what happened in the palace.

Luo Man’s face was as pale as paper. If the princess hadn’t suddenly replaced Qing Lian into the palace, she would have been the one to die.

"Princess, Princess, you said Qinglian, was Qinglian killed by Concubine Wan Shu?"

Li Shuangwan sighed softly, there are some things that they cannot know.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that Roman was drowned and his body was thrown into a dry well in Bixi Palace. The dream was so real, as if I had experienced it myself."

She held Roman’s hand and said, “You’ve been with me since you were little. I wouldn’t dare take any risks with you, even if it’s just a dream.”

Luo Man was so scared that she was shaking all over, tears falling down her face. She hugged Li Shuangwan tightly and said, "Princess, you saved my life. Otherwise, I would never see you again. Princess, you are so kind."

Li Shuangwan chuckled and wiped Roman's tears with a handkerchief: "It's okay, it's okay. Only the three of us know about this, don't mention it to anyone else."

The two maids nodded with pale faces.

Yizhu thought more about it. As soon as the princess and the prince entered the yard, she noticed that the cloak on the princess was not that of His Royal Highness Prince Heng.

"Princess, you and Concubine Wan Shu have never even spoken to each other. Why did she plot to kill Qing Lian? It seems that Concubine Wan Shu did it on purpose today. Why did she do this?"

Li Shuangwan was very pleased that Yizhu was indeed a thoughtful person.

Of course, the truth could not be told to her. Li Shuangwan shook her head: "I don't know either. Anyway, the harem and the court are one. If Concubine Wan Shu fails with this plan, she will think of other ways. We must be more careful in the future."

Yi Zhu said in fear: "Luckily, Princess, you pulled yourself out of this matter. Princess, if we can avoid entering the palace in the future, we should not do so. It's too scary."

Li Shuangwan smiled and nodded.

Yeah, luckily she got out of this.

Roman, I have protected you in this life.

"Okay, stop crying. You guys stay outside while I clean it up."

"Yes." Yizhu and Luoman prepared clean clothes and hot water and left the house.

They have been with their master for more than ten years and know his temperament best. He doesn't like anyone to serve him when he takes a bath.

Outside the house, under the kapok flowers, Ling Heng's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Roman was supposed to follow Li Shuangwan into the palace, but she didn't.

Concubine Wan Shu had not set foot in Qiyun Palace for ten years, but she went there today.

Concubine Wan Shu did not let her maid go to pick up the gift for Li Shuangwan, but instead asked Qinglian, who didn't even know the way around the palace, to go. Why?

Why did Qinglian and Kexia die? Did Concubine Wan Shu discover something and didn't want her own people to expose it, so she wanted to use Qinglian and Kexia's hands?

But what can two weak women do in the deep palace?

So, Ling Heng suddenly raised her head. It was Li Shuangwan. She wanted to borrow Li Shuangwan's hand!

Therefore, Concubine Wan Shu insisted that Li Shuangwan go to look for Qinglian who had not returned yet.

How did Ke Xia die? Could it be that Li Shuangwan discovered the matter that Concubine Wan Shu wanted to expose, and it would be extremely dangerous if she got involved, so she killed Ke Xia?

That must be the case!

So, what exactly did Concubine Wan Shu want to expose through Qinglian and Li Shuangwan?

Ling Heng rubbed his thumb against his index finger tightly, causing a crackling sound from the heavy friction between flesh.

"Sipo." Ling Heng called out in a low voice.

A guard flashed in and said, "Your Majesty."

"Send someone to Wan Mansion immediately to find out if there is anything unusual."

Now he does not have the ability to reach into the palace, but he should be able to find some clues in Wan Mansion.

"Yes."

At this time, Butler Wu came over in a hurry, his face was very ugly: "Your Majesty, something happened to the Second Master of the Lin Family."
