The servants looked ashamed and could not refute the prince's accusations. Their heads were drooped and they were trembling in fear.
The Crown Princess walked in with lotus steps and came to the Prince's side. She bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince is safe."
"Yarou, why are you here?"
"I have something to discuss with His Highness." With his lowered eyes, he glanced at the kneeling guards at his feet. The prince understood what she meant and waved his hand to order these useless servants to retreat.
.
After everyone left, Yarou walked boldly behind the prince and gently squeezed his shoulders with her jade hands, "Your Highness, don't be angry. The slaves coming in and out of the courtyard are all watching. If anyone talks nonsense,
It’s always bad to spread the word.”[

The prince sighed and did not answer, still looking worried.
What he was worried about was not his brother who was highly skilled in martial arts. A sudden fire broke out in Prince Rui's Mansion. The location of the fire was the embroidered building in the backyard. There was no one else who could live there except the girl he cared about. Now Yan Xi is missing.
Xiu Lou turned into a black skeleton, and Tao Xiaowei disappeared without a trace. The prince was in a panic, and his heart felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut out, and he felt empty and painful.
