Perhaps the news was too shocking, and Qi Xuan didn't know how he got out of the prison. When he came to his senses, only the medicine box in his hand reminded him of what Feng Yinwan had said.
The young master is the prince's son...
So, all along, the prince's natural good feelings towards the young master were actually due to blood ties?
And now that the princess is willing to tell the truth, does this mean she has let go of her resentment towards the prince?
And this box of pills...
In a moment of urgency, Qi Xuan tightened his grip on the medicine box and quickly rushed out of the palace.
At dusk, Luo Qingyi's message arrived as promised.
Previously, two direct princes of the Yue Kingdom had died suddenly. This matter had caused quite a stir in the court. Moreover, since it was the Yue Kingdom's emperor who unilaterally initiated the war, Luoyuan was defeated, and the Yue Kingdom's soldiers suffered countless casualties. This caused the Yue Kingdom's people's dissatisfaction to reach its peak.
The Yue Kingdom's emperor had lost the hearts of the people, just like the emperor who called out from the city wall and received no response that day. Luo Qingyi had a very close personal relationship with those two princes. During the days he was imprisoned in the palace, the former subordinates of those two had been secretly contacting him and making arrangements.
Luo Qingyi had told her to prioritize her own safety, but Feng Yinwan understood that it would not be easy to overthrow the Yue Kingdom's emperor, who held military power.
There would be a bloody storm within the Yue Kingdom, and for them, it would be an extremely arduous battle.
This was why she had asked Qi Xuan to bring Feng Jinlin back to Jing Country.
The wound wrapped with cloth strips on her wrist had begun to scab over. Feng Yinwan peeked at the last ray of sunlight filtering into the prison cell and raised her hand to crush the note.
Given the current situation, if she could survive this journey, she would obtain the method to break the forbidden curse from the Yue Kingdom's emperor. If not, she would be at ease knowing Feng Jinli had returned to Ye Tinglan's side.
The last trace of sunset on the horizon vanished completely, and night fell silently. A prelude to a war without smoke was quietly unfolding in this tranquility.
As the bell struck midnight, the first startling noise echoed from the imperial palace. Immediately, assassins who had already infiltrated the palace emerged from the shadows.
At the same time, the dungeon door was quietly opened, and the Xuanmen disciples who had been trapped inside rushed out together under Jian Ye's leadership.
When the commotion from that direction reached her, Feng Yinwan had already broken through the prison door. The guards in the dungeon were no match for her and were dealt with before they could even prepare.
She rushed out, and the young attendant was waiting outside as promised. He handed her a set of palace servant clothes and whispered, "The carriage is waiting outside the palace gate. Please quickly change into these clothes and follow me out of the palace."
Luo Qingyi had no intention of dragging her into this turmoil, so he had made plans to escort her out of the palace early on.
Feng Yinwan heard this but did not move. Her gaze, bypassing the clothes, went directly to the young attendant. "Does Uncle already know that Chenchen is not in the palace?"
She had sent a note to Luo Qingyi about this matter immediately after confirming it. In a day, he would surely know.
The young attendant's expression flickered slightly when he heard this, and he seemed about to speak. However, the sounds of fighting nearby were intensifying. Seeing that the best time to leave the palace was about to be missed, he couldn't help but urge her anxiously.
"The Prince already knows about the young master, but tonight's events are extraordinary. The Prince has ordered that you be escorted out of the palace safely. Miss, please leave with me quickly!"
Luo Qingyi was indeed worried about her.
Feng Yinwan's eyes flickered slightly as she heard this, and she said calmly, "Once the palace is in chaos, the Yue Kingdom's emperor will surely become suspicious. You go back to the front of the imperial chariot first, and I will help Uncle."
"Miss, you cannot!"
The young attendant subconsciously tried to stop her, but Feng Yinwan's determined gaze halted him.
"Do as I say. This matter is not settled, and I will not leave first."
