Chapter 235 The Third Prince is Being Monitored
Dongfang Wan'er was extremely anxious and hurried along, not daring to stop for a moment. She just wanted to get away from this place of trouble as quickly as possible and then head straight for the Third Prince's residence.
Throughout the journey, she kept thinking about the current situation, her brows furrowed and her expression grave.
Before long, Dongfang Wan'er arrived at the outer wall of the Third Prince's residence.
She looked up at the towering wall; inside, all was silent except for the faint flickering of lights.
After a brief pause, she bit her lower lip and decided to climb over the wall, hoping to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
As she moved nimbly and approached the wall, just as she was about to use her light-footed skills, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and tightly covered her mouth.
Dongfang Wan'er was shocked and thought to herself that something was wrong. Her reaction was also extremely quick. With a slight twitch of her fingers, she prepared to draw a silver needle from her sleeve and stab the person behind her.
Just at this critical moment, a deep and familiar voice whispered in her ear: "Shh, it's me..." It turned out to be the Third Prince, Ye Jinghao.
Dongfang Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned around. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw a group of guards carrying torches and patrolling in neat steps.
Upon seeing this, the Third Prince Ye Jinghao's eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, he took Dongfang Wan'er's hand and quietly left the place.
They wandered through winding paths and finally entered the Third Prince's residence through a hidden passage.
Upon entering the mansion, Dongfang Wan'er looked around and saw that the interior was elegantly furnished, but also exuded a sense of oppression.
She couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
The Third Prince, Ye Jinghao, sighed softly, slowly sat down, picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, and said:
"I'm being watched, all thanks to the Crown Prince. I've heard he's searching for someone everywhere, and after thinking it over, I think it's probably you! Why haven't you left the capital yet?"
Dongfang Wan'er also sat down, picked up her teacup, took a few sips to moisten her throat, and said:
"Yes, they must be looking for me. I encountered some things on the way, which delayed my journey. When I returned, I found that the Regent was already surrounded by guards and in a critical situation. I was unable to reunite with them."
When I went out onto the street, I discovered that my maternal grandfather's family and Ye Jiuchen's family were all wanted by the police. What should I do?
Dongfang Wan'er was extremely anxious and recounted the whole story in one breath.
After hearing this, the Third Prince Ye Jinghao remained silent for a long time, a look of worry on his face.
After a long while, he slowly shook his head and said, "The situation in the capital is now unpredictable and has changed drastically. It is extremely difficult to move forward."
Even I'm being monitored. What are you planning to do now? We can't stay in the capital forever."
Dongfang Wan'er frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then a resolute glint flashed in her eyes:
"I have my own way of getting out of the city."
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to the Third Prince, Ye Jinghao.
"Give this to a man named Tiger; he will be our helper."
The Third Prince, Ye Jinghao, took the letter and glanced at it with a puzzled look.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er explained, "This contains information about Hu Zi's background."
Although Tiger will eventually be found and returned by the Mongols, I informed him of the current situation beforehand. Given Tiger's personality, he will definitely become a powerful ally for me, Ye Jiuchen, and the others.
The Third Prince, Ye Jinghao, held the letter, his fingers unconsciously stroking the paper as he pondered to himself:
Who exactly is this Tiger? Wan'er trusts him so much; he must have some extraordinary abilities.
However, given the current critical situation, we have no choice but to take the risk.
He looked up at Dongfang Wan'er, his gaze filled with inquiry: "Wan'er, are you sure this Tiger is reliable? We are now fighting against the Crown Prince. One wrong step and we will be doomed."
Dongfang Wan'er nodded slightly, unaware of how Ye Jinghao addressed her!
“I have a good relationship with Hu Zi. He is a loyal and righteous person. Although he seems a bit reckless, he is actually very thoughtful. I believe he will not abandon us.”
She silently thought to herself that Tiger was her trump card in this chaotic situation, and she could only hope that he would help everyone get out of trouble as she expected.
Now that my family and friends are in danger, I must not back down and must find a way to turn the situation around.
Seeing the resolute expression on Dongfang Wan'er's face, Ye Jinghao felt somewhat relieved and carefully put the letter away.
"In that case, I will immediately arrange for someone to find him. But until then, you should stay in my residence to avoid trouble for the time being, and I will send more people to protect you."
He knew in his heart that although Wan'er was in danger in the manor, she was at least safer than outside. He was determined to protect her, not only because of his friendship with her, but also because she might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
Dongfang Wan'er gently shook her head: "I can't stay any longer. The longer I stay, the more danger I'll pose to you."
I plan to investigate the Crown Prince's movements first; perhaps I can find some clues to unravel the conspiracy behind this."
She knew in her heart that she couldn't always be on the defensive; only by taking the initiative could she have a chance of survival. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, she could only forge ahead.
Ye Jinghao frowned, his face showing worry: "Wan'er, you are putting yourself in danger. The Crown Prince is cunning and shrewd. His residence must be heavily guarded. Going there is like a lamb entering a tiger's den."
He was torn, understanding Wan'er's determination to take the initiative, yet fearing for her safety, and powerless to stop her.
Dongfang Wan'er gave him a reassuring look: "I will be careful. I can't just stand by and watch my grandfather and the others fall into a desperate situation without doing anything."
"Don't worry, I learned some concealment techniques from a young age, so I won't be easily discovered."
Dongfang Wan'er had already made up her mind, and she would absolutely not soften her heart at this moment!
"This……"
Ye Jinghao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, his face full of hesitation and struggle, his eyes revealing a trace of unwillingness and worry, trying to persuade him to stay again.
Dongfang Wan'er waved her hand decisively, her movements swift and clean, without the slightest hesitation.
"No need to say anything more, just prepare a room for me. I need to do a major makeover, I guarantee you won't recognize me!"
Her tone was firm and unquestionable, and her eyes gleamed with determination; she had made up her mind.
"it is good!"
Ye Jinghao saw that no matter how earnestly he tried to persuade her, Dongfang Wan'er was determined to leave, her resolute expression like an insurmountable wall.
Left with no other choice, he could only sigh deeply, then turn around and instruct his servants to prepare a room for Dongfang Wan'er.
After entering the room, Dongfang Wan'er first looked around warily, then quickly walked to the door and window!
They carefully locked the doors and windows, making every move with utmost care, as if afraid of making the slightest mistake.
Immediately afterwards, she flashed into the mysterious space.
