Zhao Zhizhi was a little helpless. He looked at the child in front of him and didn't know how to take care of it.

Just at this time, he saw a palace maid walking towards this side. Zhao Zhizhi went up to him and asked, "Why is the Ninth Prince here alone?"

The palace maid bowed and said, "To tell you what to do, Madam, I don't know why the Ninth Prince came here alone. I came here to look for the Ninth Prince."

Zhao Zhizhi nodded: "Then you should take the Ninth Prince back quickly."

She looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "Ninth Prince, please go back with them quickly."

The Ninth Prince snorted and turned away.

Zhao Zhizhi looked at his back and sighed. The maid saluted and said, "Thank you, madam."

Then he took the Ninth Prince and left the back garden.

However, when the palace maid dragged the Ninth Prince away, Zhao Zhizhi seemed to see a scar on his arm. But she didn't know if she had seen it wrong, so she didn't go forward to ask for a while.

To avoid accidentally falling into other people's traps or alerting others.

Later, Zhao Zhizhi returned to the banquet alone.

Wei Shao was a little surprised to see her coming back alone: ​​"Where did you go?"

Zhao Zhizhi said calmly: "Go to the back garden and look at the water for a while." She did not say that she saw the Ninth Prince.

Wei Shao didn't ask any more questions.

This banquet was much more lively than the last one. Zhao Zhizhi saw that the envoy from Northern Xinjiang was chatting happily with the emperor, and thought that this time Northern Xinjiang and Chaoyun Kingdom were officially reconciled.

I just don't know how long the peace can last.

Then the banquet continued and ended very late.

Wei Shao left the palace with Zhao Zhizhi, preparing to return to their mansion. The moment they left, the emperor and queen looked at them with very cold eyes.

In a quiet courtyard of the Wei Mansion, Zhao Zhizhi and Wei Shao sat opposite each other, their expressions extremely serious.

Zhao Zhizhi frowned, with deep worry in her eyes. She looked at Wei Shao and expressed her suspicion.

"A Shao, I saw scars on the Ninth Prince today. I'm worried that the Queen treated him harshly in the palace."

Zhao Zhizhi's voice trembled slightly, obviously filled with uneasiness.

Wei Shao's eyes flashed with shock. He was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "If this is the case, we must not let the Ninth Prince stay with the Queen. We must find a way to protect him."

Zhao Zhizhi nodded and asked eagerly: "Then what should we do?"

Wei Shao pondered for a moment, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "The third prince who was banished is back. Maybe we can find him for cooperation."

When Zhao Zhizhi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a good idea!"

Later, they found an opportunity to meet the third prince. The early autumn breeze blew gently, with a hint of coolness.

Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi were walking on the path leading to the third prince's residence. They were in a nervous mood and their steps were a little heavy.

They came to a quaint mansion. The stone lions in front of the door witnessed the former glory of this place.

Zhao Zhizhi's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions.

Wei Shao knocked on the door lightly. After a while, the door opened a small crack, and a servant stuck his head out. He saw Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi, with a surprised look on his face. "General Wei, Mrs. Wei, please come in." The servant's voice was somewhat respectful. They walked through the doorway and entered the mansion.

The plants and trees in the courtyard seemed to feel their tension and swayed gently. They were led to a simply furnished study room, filled with a faint fragrance of ink.

The third prince sat in front of the desk and saw them coming in, with a smile on his face.

"General Wei, Mrs. Wei, please take a seat." The third prince pointed to the seat next to him.

After Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi sat down, the third prince broke the silence first, "I heard about what happened in the palace. If you can find me, you must have something to ask for."

Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi looked at each other, and then said: "Third Prince, we would like to ask you to help save the Ninth Prince."

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the third prince, "Save the ninth brother? Something happened to him under the Queen? What do you think I can do?"

Zhao Zhizhi said eagerly: "We know that you have a high reputation among the people, and your wisdom and strategy are also well known. We believe that only you can find a way to protect the Ninth Prince."

The third prince was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "You have found the right person. But I want to hear your specific plan first."

Wei Shao then told the third prince their conjectures and plans in detail.

After hearing this, the third prince fell into deep thought and tapped his fingers on the desk.

"This plan has certain risks, but if we can successfully transfer the Ninth Prince away from the Queen, we can provide him with a safe environment." The Third Prince said slowly.

Zhao Zhizhi asked nervously: "Then what preparations do we need to make?"

The third prince pondered for a moment, "We need some manpower and resources. I will mobilize my power among the people, and you must also cooperate well in the capital."

Wei Shao nodded, "We will cooperate fully."

Zhao Zhizhi also said firmly: "For the safety of the Ninth Prince and the future of Chaoyun Kingdom, we are willing to pay any price."

The third prince looked at their firm eyes, and a light of hope ignited in his heart, "Okay! Then let's work together and fight for the future of Haiyan Heqing!"

Thus, a quietly unfolding operation began. Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi actively collected intelligence in the capital, and the third prince gathered forces among the people. They cooperated with each other and made sufficient preparations to rescue the ninth prince.

As time goes by, everything is going on in full swing. Finally, on a bright moonlit night, they received important news: the Queen would take the Ninth Prince out of the palace to offer sacrifices. Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi took action immediately after hearing the news. They secretly met outside the city with the people arranged by the third prince.

Everyone rushed to the sacrificial site without stopping, preparing to rescue the Queen and the Ninth Prince when they were alone.

Under night, the sacrificial ceremony has ended, and the Queen and the Ninth Prince are preparing to return to the palace.

At this moment, the third prince suddenly appeared with a group of people masked and surrounded them.

The queen looked at the newcomers in horror, "Who are you? How dare you be so bold!"

The third prince sneered, "Queen, you don't have to be afraid. We are not assassins, but people who are here to save the ninth prince."

However, at this moment, the Queen Empress suddenly let out a sneer, which made people's hair stand on end. "Save the Ninth Prince? Who do you think you are, that you dare to speak so brazenly!"

The third prince was silent for a moment, with a hint of subtle cunning flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and said in a more firm tone: "Empress, if you think you can easily cover up the truth, you are totally wrong. Do you think that my father really doesn't know what you have done to your ninth brother? ?”
