“Jiang Ying, do you think Lian Xin hasn’t left the capital?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying frowned. Wasn’t this question asked long ago? He had once said in front of many people that he felt that Lian Xin was still in the capital.
“Yes, why are you suddenly asking this?” Jiang Ying asked.
“Because I feel the same way. Besides, I think he’s near the palace, or in it,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying gasped again. He looked at Ning Yue in disbelief. “Why would you have such a guess?”
“If, and I’m only talking about if, this matter of King Chu has something to do with Lian Xin. Then, Lian Xin must have a spy in the palace. He might even be in the palace.”

Jiang Ying fell silent, thinking about what Ning Yue had said.
Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, he had searched the capital for so many days, but he could not find Lian Xin.
There were only two possibilities. Either Lian Xin had left, or he was hiding somewhere he couldn’t find him.
This place was very likely the palace that Ning Yue had just mentioned.
“Quick! Get the carriage to turn back. Let’s enter the palace again,” Jiang Ying said nervously.
The coachman immediately turned his horse around and led the two of them into the palace again.
Originally, the emperor had planned to visit the Retired Emperor. Before he could walk far, someone came to tell him that Jiang Ying and Ning Yue had returned.
“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen?” the emperor asked.
The serious expressions of these two people made the emperor’s heart tremble violently. He hoped nothing bad happened.
Jiang Ying and Ning Yue looked at each other and shared their thoughts. The emperor’s eyes instantly widened.
He looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief, his voice unconsciously magnified. “You mean…”
“Imperial Brother!” Jiang Ying stopped the emperor. He wanted to stop him from continuing.
This was because they still did not know where Lian Xin was. If the emperor said it so loudly, Lian Xing might know.
The emperor’s expression darkened. He took a deep breath and asked, “Is your guess reliable?”
“It’s most likely true. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for me to spend so much manpower and resources and not be able to find anyone in the capital,” Jiang Ying said.
The emperor frowned. He thought for a moment and asked Jiang Ying, “Is there a possibility that he’s no longer in the capital?”
Jiang Ying shook his head firmly. “No, he’s the kind of person who won’t stop until he achieves his goal. He hasn’t achieved his goal. How can he leave the capital?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey knew very well what kind of person Lian Xin was. They could even guess what she would do next.
However, Lian Xin was too surprising. For example, where he was hiding in the capital was something they did not expect.
“Oh my god, no. I’m going to take the Empress and the others to the courtyard and we will stay there for a few days. Clean up the palace for me before I come back,” the emperor said.
Jiang Ying rejected it without thinking. “No, you can’t move. Have you ever thought that this might be a conspiracy? If you go, what if others are in danger? At least you have the protection of the imperial guards in the palace now. If you go to the courtyard, there are too few imperial guards who can follow you. Moreover, the courtyard is too far from the palace.”
The imperial courtyard had been empty for so long. What if Lian Xin was hiding there?
One had to know that the royal courtyard was also one of the places he had never searched.
The palace and the royal courtyard? Anything was possible.
The emperor suddenly felt that his brain was not enough. What was going on with Lian Xin? Why did he have to do such a disgusting thing instead of being a good person?
Not only the emperor, but even Jiang Ying was in distress. He kept thinking about how to arrange it to be foolproof.
As the three of them were silent, the emperor seemed to remember something. “While protecting the palace, you have to pay attention to Yuan Hui’s safety..”
