Prince Yi's Mansion, guest room in the outer courtyard.
Xiao Lingyue was sleeping when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of a horn in the distance.
She opened her eyes suddenly, turned over from the bed, and saw that it was still dark outside the window: "How come there is a horn sound?"
This is a horn used in the army to communicate and is only used in emergencies.
Xiao Lingyue was very familiar with this.
When she was at the border, for a long time she fell asleep to the sound of horns almost every day.
But this is not the border, but the capital city!
The sound of trumpets in the capital means something big is going on!
Xiao Lingyue didn't hesitate, immediately got out of bed, put on her shoes, walked over quickly and opened the door.
There was some chaos in Prince Yi's palace. Many guards stood in the courtyard, looking up into the distance.
"What happened?"
Xiao Lingyue walked over, glanced in the direction of the guard, and her expression changed slightly.
At this time, it was still dark, but the northwest corner of the capital was unusually lit with fire, and the sound of horns came with the wind, bringing with it an ominous aura.
The northwest corner is the direction of Tianlao.
What happened?
Xiao Lingyue's eyebrows darkened, but the guard had not yet answered.
"Miss Shen!" Uncle Zhou hurriedly passed by the courtyard gate and saw Xiao Lingyue standing in the courtyard. He hurriedly came over, "Were you also awakened by the horn?"
also?
Xiao Lingyue immediately asked: "Did something happen in Tianlao? Where is Zhan Beihan?"
Uncle Zhou was surprised and said hurriedly: "The city guard sent news that someone broke into the prison, and the prince has already rushed over."
Xiao Lingyue frowned: "How long has he been gone?"
"The old slave just sent the prince out, not long ago." Zhou Bo said, "Miss Shen has been tired for a day. The prince specifically asked not to disturb the girl."
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe that Zhan Beihan had such good intentions.
The prison was broken into...
Could it be related to the destruction of the Li family and the stolen golden needle from her?
She needs to go see it!
Xiao Lingyue immediately made a decision, turned around and walked out.
"Miss Shen, where are you going?"
Uncle Zhou hurriedly stopped her: "The city guards have been dispatched, and there is chaos outside. You must not move around at this time!"
Xiao Lingyue said: "I'll go to Tianlao to have a look and I'll be back soon."
"Are you worried about the prince? It's not safe over there in Tianlao..." Uncle Zhou had not yet finished his worried words.
"It's okay, I know it well!"
Xiao Lingyue interrupted him: "Uncle Zhou, stay in the house and guard Hanhan and Beibei. Don't let them run around."
With that said, without waiting for Uncle Zhou to speak, she jumped onto the wall and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Shen..." Uncle Zhou was so shocked that he couldn't stop her.
Unable to wait to prepare the horses, Xiao Lingyue simply left Prince Yi's Mansion using Qinggong and quickly headed towards Tianlao along the eaves.
Climbing high and looking into the distance, she saw that the northwest corner of the capital where Tianlao was located was brightly lit, with countless torches forming fire dragons, and human figures swaying longingly in the middle. Along with the sound of horns coming from far away, the sound was huge.
Even though she was halfway across the capital, Xiao Lingyue could faintly smell the traces of blood blowing in the night wind.
Is someone dead?
She frowned and immediately sped up.
The slender figure passed over the eaves and corners like a shadow, and flew far away in the blink of an eye.
Halfway through the journey.
Xiao Lingyue had just landed on a bell tower and before she could stand firmly on her heels, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
