Wu Junyao thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "According to our investigation, Prince Jin's biological mother was indeed envied and persecuted by many people before her death. The cause of her death remains a mystery, and it involves many palace power struggles. Concubine Yue may have been a victim forced to be involved."

Jiang Yanwan nodded: "Indeed, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this. The key is, how can we protect Concubine Yue and her unborn child now? The emperor's plan is obviously not that simple."

Wu Junyao groaned for a moment: "We must find the real Concubine Yue, she must have key information. In order not to alert the enemy, we must act carefully and not let the emperor notice."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a subordinate came in to report: "Governor, we found some suspicious people in a dilapidated temple outside the city. They seemed to be hiding their identities."

Wu Junyao's eyes lit up: "It may be someone related to Concubine Yue. Let's go and check it out immediately."

Jiang Yanwan quickly said, "I'll go too. I can use my medical skills to find out the true identities of these people."

Wu Junyao nodded in agreement, and the two of them quickly got ready, and with a few capable men, they quietly headed towards the ruined temple outside the city.

Under the cover of night, they successfully reached the ruined temple. As expected, as their men said, there were indeed some suspicious people here. They sneaked in carefully and heard the sound of an argument coming from the inner room.

"You keep saying you want to protect me, but why do you let me hide here? I want to see the emperor!" A woman's voice was filled with anxiety and anger.

"Your Majesty, we have no choice. This is the Emperor's order and we must obey." Another voice whispered to comfort her.

Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other and immediately realized that this woman was probably the real Concubine Yue. They decided to wait for an opportunity to rescue her.

Wu Junyao approached quietly, observed the layout, and quickly formulated a surprise attack plan. He signaled Jiang Yanwan to get ready, then waved his hand suddenly and led his men into the inner room.

The guards panicked when they saw the sudden attack. Wu Junyao and his men moved quickly and subdued the enemy in a few rounds.

Jiang Yanwan immediately stepped forward and saw that the woman was indeed similar to the "Yue Imperial Concubine" in the palace, but she looked more haggard. She asked softly, "My lady, are you Yue Imperial Concubine?"

A hint of surprise and fear flashed across the woman's eyes, but before she could speak, Wu Junyao quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, madam. We are here to save you. Please follow us."

The woman hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, please take me out of here."

Wu Junyao evacuated quickly with the woman. On the way, he did not forget to send people to deal with the scene to avoid leaving any clues.

Back at the mansion, Wu Junyao arranged for the servants to take care of the woman, and asked Jiang Yanwan to treat her personally. Jiang Yanwan carefully examined her and found that she was weak but not seriously ill, so she prescribed some nourishing medicine.

The woman gradually calmed down, looked at Jiang Yanwan and said, "Thank you, I am Concubine Yue, but I have never been to the palace. The emperor said this was to protect me."

Jiang Yanwan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Madam, we will do our best to protect you and find out the truth."

Concubine Yue nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "I want to know why the emperor did this? What important secrets are there about my identity?"

Wu Junyao said in a deep voice: "This is exactly the focus of our investigation. Madam, please rest assured and take care of yourself. We need to be more cautious next time."

Just as they were discussing their next plan, Ah Yan suddenly ran in and said, "Mom, it's bad, someone broke in!"

Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao were startled, and hurriedly escorted Concubine Yue back to the inner room, while fierce fighting was heard outside. Not long after, Wu Junyao's trusted guard A Qing hurried over to report: "Commander-in-chief, there is a group of unidentified masters outside, and they have broken through the first line of defense!"

Wu Junyao frowned and immediately ordered: "Everyone, protect Concubine Yue at all costs!"

The sound of fighting outside was getting closer and closer. Jiang Yanwan held Concubine Yue's hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, my lady. We will definitely protect you."

Concubine Yue seemed unusually calm: "If something unexpected really happened, I am willing to stand up and tell the truth."

Wu Junyao took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "It will be fine, we will definitely get out of danger safely."

The fighting outside the door became more intense. The guards fought desperately, but the enemy's numbers and strength were obviously superior to theirs. However, at this moment, a roar that seemed to shock the whole audience rang out: "Stop! Who is going wild here!"

Following this roar, the outside of the door suddenly became quiet, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and a man in black appeared at the door. It was the famous martial arts master in the capital - Xiaoxiangzi!

Xiao Xiangzi glanced around coldly, and his eyes fell on Wu Junyao: "General Wu, I am here on the orders of the emperor to protect Concubine Yue."

Wu Junyao raised his eyebrows: "Xiaoxiangzi, you are finally here. However, is the protection you mentioned just an excuse?"

Xiao Xiangzi smiled faintly: "General Wu is overthinking. The emperor attaches great importance to the safety of the imperial concubine, so he sent me here. As for those assassins, I will be responsible for eliminating them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiangzi's figure flashed and disappeared instantly. Only screams could be heard from outside. Soon, the tide of assassins was quickly cleared away, leaving only silence.

Xiao Xiangzi returned to the room, his eyes softened a bit: "General Wu, Madam Royal Concubine, please rest assured, I will be responsible for everything that comes next."

Concubine Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently: "Thank you, Xiaoxiangzi."

Jiang Yanwan was also relieved a little, but she knew that the matter was far from over. She looked at Wu Junyao with determination in her eyes: "We must speed up the investigation and can't delay any longer."

Wu Junyao clenched his fists: "Yes, no matter what the cost, we must uncover this mystery."

In the following days, Xiaoxiangzi and Wu Junyao joined forces to protect Concubine Yue, and Jiang Yanwan continued to regulate her body. At the same time, Wu Junyao secretly launched a series of investigations and gradually approached the truth.

One night, Wu Junyao summoned Jiang Yanwan and Xiao Xiangzi and said nervously: "I have found some clues. It all seems to be related to a mysterious organization. They secretly controlled everything, including the replacement plan for Concubine Yue."

Xiao Xiangzi frowned and said, "What kind of organization can actually act like this in the palace?"
