Du Wanchun did not press any further and turned to the palace maid to tell her to leave the palace immediately and tell General Lu the news.

Zhou Ruiyuan should be in Lu Mansion now after leaving the palace.

Not long after the palace maid left, Du Wanchun released the young eunuch from the palace and sent two people to follow him.

She changed her clothes and left the palace to go to Lu Mansion. ?.?????.???

When they arrived at Lu Mansion, Zhou Ruiyuan and Lu Yan happened to have already gone out.

Seeing Du Wanchun's panic, Miss Mo asked her, "Wan Chun, what's wrong with you?"

Du Wanchun told Miss Mo that the remnants of the Wu family had colluded with the Nanyi people to assassinate Zhou Ruiyuan.

Miss Mo frowned, "Is this serious?"

Du Wanchun nodded.

Miss Mo clenched the handkerchief in her hand, thought for a while and then said: "No wonder I looked at that man a little strange today. I guess he is also in the same group."

"Who?" Du Wanchun asked quickly.

Miss Mo replied: "A young lieutenant beside your uncle has only been with your uncle for a few months. He left him and said that he saw the emperor in the city and is taking him and your uncle there."

Du Wanchun frowned, "Where have they gone now?"

Miss Mo shook her head, "Those people only said they saw the emperor, but did not specify where he was."

After hearing this, Du Wanchun raised his head and glanced around, then his eyes fell on a boy.

"Which direction did you see His Highness and the General going in the carriage today?"

The boy thought for a while and pointed towards the south, "I went over there and said it was some kind of inn."

Du Wanchun quickly looked up, pondered for a moment, and turned to Miss Mo and asked, "Auntie, how many inns are there in this way?"

The nun beside Miss Mo came out and said, "There are five houses. I can take His Highness and Miss Mo there."

Du Wanchun was overjoyed and immediately asked this nanny to lead the way.

Although she has been in the capital for some time, it will be faster if she can have such an old lady to lead the way.

Du Wanchun led a group of them into the carriage and rushed towards the two nearest inns.

At the same time, Zhou Ruiyuan and Lu Yan were led by the servant to Li Fei's restaurant.

The boy looked around and said, "Your Highness, this is where I saw the Emperor."

Zhou Ruiyuan raised his head and looked towards the restaurant, "You mean in here?"

The waiter nodded, "Yes, it's in the restaurant."

Lu Yan looked up and said, "I remember that Wanchun bought this restaurant some time ago. The Emperor can't come to your territory again, can he?"

The boy's face changed obviously after hearing this.

Zhou Ruiyuan turned his head and looked at the boy with cold eyes, "Is this really the place?"

The boy lowered his head slightly, obviously feeling guilty.

Zhou Ruiyuan grabbed his arm, kicked his legs, pushed his whole body to the ground, and said coldly: "Who sent you here?"

The boy was still pretending to be stupid, "Your Highness, I don't know what you are talking about."

Zhou Ruiyuan dragged him into the restaurant, took out a dagger and put it against his neck: "Say! Who sent you here?"

The boy stared at Zhou Ruiyuan with his eyes wide open and sweating. He was trembling with fear. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly covered his stomach and vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Lu Yan rushed over immediately, "No, he committed suicide by taking poison!"

Zhou Ruiyuan glanced at the waiter with disdain, stood up slowly, and looked up at the top of the restaurant, "It's okay. If you die, you will die. I'll go up and have a look."

Lu Yan stopped him and said, "This person must have tried his best to bring us here."

Zhou Ruiyuan raised his eyes, showing a confident look, "I really want to see who is trying to deceive me."

Lu Yan clenched the sword in his hand and gradually understood what he meant, "Okay, I'll go with His Highness."

Zhou Ruiyuan slowly walked upstairs.

He had discovered that there was something wrong with this boy before he came, and pretending not to know was just to lure the snake out of its hole.

The two of them walked cautiously upstairs.

The restaurant was a little strange today, there were no customers or waiters.

When they arrived on the second floor, they saw the Nanyi people sitting on the imperial concubine.

All the people in their restaurant were tied up and thrown into a corner.

Even the nephews of the Wu family were kidnapped.

It seemed that the Nanyi people did not want to assassinate him. They wanted to kill the prince in the street.

Or perhaps he wanted to die together with the prince.

There was a cold look in Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes, "You are so brave. Aren't you afraid that I will send people to surround this place?"

The Nanyi man sneered and said, "Surround here? Okay, let me see if you dare?"

At this time, two people came and took out fuel and kindling.

"If you dare to send people here, I will burn this whole place down."
