The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 304 Someone coming from the palace

Lin Congyun nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.

She turned to the guards and ordered, "Send more people to ensure the safety of the mansion inside and outside."

The guards took the order and left, and suddenly only Lin Congyun and the unconscious Seventh Prince were left in the dungeon.

Lin Congyun took advantage of this opportunity to put the seventh prince directly into the space. When he came out of the dungeon, the sounds of fighting outside had become much sparser. The firelight and sword shadows were looming in the night, revealing a bit of desolation and uneasiness.

"Everyone, listen to my orders." Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every guard, with unquestionable power. "Divide into two teams. One team will continue to search the mansion to make sure no enemies are missed. The other team will follow me to the front gate to prepare for possible external threats."

The guards responded quickly and acted according to Lin Congyun's instructions. The entire mansion was restored to order in a moment.

Lin Congyun personally led a team of people and marched towards the front gate with firm steps, and every step seemed so steady and powerful.

Outside the front gate, although the battle was nearing its end, the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood and tension.

Lin Congyun could tell at a glance that the remaining enemies were all desperate criminals. They knew they had no way to retreat and were frantically making their last struggle.

"Archers, get ready!" Lin Congyun calmly ordered, "Wait for my command, and destroy them in one fell swoop!"

Following her order, a rain of arrows poured down like a dark cloud, accurately shooting at the crazy enemies.

After dealing with all the enemies, Jingzhao Yin came hurriedly with his men. When he saw Lin Congyun, he said with a bitter face: "Second Prince, are you okay? I am late and frightened the Second Prince."

As he said this, he was about to salute, but Lin Congyun held him back.

"I'm fine, but I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you. These assassins came with such force that they were obviously well prepared. I'd like to trouble Jingzhao Prefecture to thoroughly investigate the clues of this matter."

The prefect of Jingzhao nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, please rest assured, Second Prince."

As he spoke, he looked around again and said in a low voice: "But Second Prince, the assassin is dead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate..."

"It's okay." Lin Congyun smiled slightly, "Dead people can sometimes speak, it depends on how you ask."

The prefect of Jingzhao was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lin Congyun meant, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "I understand, Second Prince, don't worry."

Lin Congyun nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At this time, Feng Lieyang hurried over, "Second Prince, it's bad, the Seventh Prince is missing."

"Gone?" Lin Congyun was surprised. "Why is it gone?"

"I don't know either." Feng Lieyang said with a bitter face, "The situation in the mansion was quite dangerous just now. I sent people to tell the Seventh Prince to stay in his own yard and not come out. But when I went there just now, I searched everywhere and didn't see anyone."

"What about the guards around the seventh brother?"

"They are gone too." Feng Lieyang said, "It's like they evaporated from the face of the earth."

Lin Congyun frowned, and the people around her didn't know what she was thinking.

"Second Prince." Jingzhao Prefecture Prefect interrupted her thoughts, "This matter is suspicious. I think we should start with the investigation of these assassins."

Lin Congyun came back to his senses and nodded: "Your Excellency is right. I'm sorry to bother you with your concern."

The Jingzhao prefect clasped his hands and said, "It is my responsibility. Thank you for being polite, Second Prince."

Having said that, he turned around and directed his men to start cleaning up the scene and investigating for clues.

Lin Congyun brought Feng Lieyang and others back to the mansion. Just as they were about to talk about the Seventh Prince's matter, they heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Second Prince." A guard ran in hurriedly, "Someone has come from the palace and said that the emperor wants to see you."

Lin Congyun was stunned. Why did the emperor summon her at this time?

Although she was confused, she did not dare to delay and quickly changed her clothes and followed him into the palace.

Along the way, she was thinking about the possible reasons why the emperor summoned her. Could it be that the news of the seventh prince's disappearance had reached the dog emperor?

That's impossible. It's only been a short time. It shouldn't be that fast.

While she was thinking, she had already arrived at the door of the imperial study. Without time to think more, she quickly straightened her clothes and walked in.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty." She knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Get up." The emperor's voice was unrecognisable. "It's so late. I called you here because I have something to ask you."

Lin Congyun stood up, feeling anxious: "Father, please ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"I heard that your house was attacked by assassins tonight?" The emperor's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through her heart.

"Yes." Lin Congyun's heart trembled, knowing that he could not hide this matter from the emperor, so he simply told the truth, "The assassins came with great force, but fortunately, the guards in my mansion were quite capable and have captured them all."

"Oh? All captured?" The emperor's tone suddenly became stern, "Then why did I hear news that the seventh prince disappeared in your house?"

Lin Congyun was shocked. It was indeed because of this incident. She quickly explained, "Father, you are very insightful. I don't know why my seventh brother suddenly disappeared. I have sent people to look for him. I believe there will be news soon."

"That's not what I want to hear." The emperor interrupted her. "What I want to know is, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter!" Lin Congyun answered without hesitation, "I have no grudge against my seventh brother, so why would I harm him? Please understand, Father."

The emperor stared at her for a long time, as if trying to determine the truth in her words.

Lin Congyun was feeling uneasy, but he didn't dare to hide anything or slack off.

She knew that any lies and sophistry at this time would only make the emperor more suspicious of her.

After a long while, the emperor slowly spoke: "I trust you this time, but I want you to find the Seventh Prince in the shortest possible time. If anything happens to him, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes." Lin Congyun felt relieved and quickly responded, "I will definitely live up to your trust."

Having said that, she turned around and was about to go out.

"Wait." The emperor suddenly stopped her, "I have one more thing to ask you."

Lin Congyun was shocked and wondered if the emperor had anything else to ask her?

She turned around and looked at the emperor: "Father, please ask."

The emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes deep, as if he could see through Lin Congyun's thoughts, and he slowly said, "I heard that you have been very close to the Third Prince recently. Is this true?"

After hearing this, Lin Congyun's heart trembled slightly. She had never expected that the Dog Emperor would suddenly mention the Third Prince.
