Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The backyard was heavily guarded and patrolled, with guards every three steps and sentries every five.

Seeing Ming Mobing bring the stranger over, the patrolling guards looked puzzled, but since the person was brought by Ming Mobing, they hesitated for a moment and did not step forward.

A hint of disappointment flashed through Ming Mobing's mind. If these good-for-nothings came to ask him now, he would definitely tell him the truth about their kidnapping.

Besides, didn't they see that their second brother was knocked unconscious?

He subconsciously glanced at Ming Mozhuo, which Ying Yufu was carrying.

Looking up, he met Ying Yufu's smiling eyes.

Ming Mobing's face stiffened, and he closed his eyes in despair.

He didn't know why Princess Anguo and the Crown Prince were at his house, but since they had already appeared, some things could no longer be kept secret.

Ming Mobing's hands, hidden beneath his long sleeves, clenched into fists, then relaxed.

His face regained its composure, though it was extremely pale. He said calmly, "Please come in with me, both of you."

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and led Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince into a courtyard called Songlin Courtyard.

Songshuangyuan Study Room.

Ming Mobing walked to a wall, removed a book from the bookshelf, and turned the switch behind it.

Then you see a whole wall covered with bookshelves. The bookshelves rotate, revealing a door that leads to a secret underground chamber.

Ming Mobing turned to them and said, "Please, gentlemen. This is the secret chamber of the Ming family. All the things of the Ming family are kept down here, and what you want is also down here."

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance. Had Ming Mobing simply resigned himself to his fate?

Ying Yufu nodded and followed Ming Mobing down into the secret chamber.

The light below was dim, and Ming Mobing walked ahead, moving very quickly because he was familiar with the area.

Ying Yufu, who could see in the dark, held the Crown Prince's hand with one hand and dragged the unconscious boy in black with the other.

"arrive."

A moment later, Ming Mobing stood in front of a heavy iron gate and gently knocked on it three times.

The heavy iron gate remained motionless. After about ten breaths, the gate slowly opened, and Ming Mobing turned around and said, "Please, gentlemen."

Ying Yufu narrowed her eyes and looked into the iron gate.

Inside the iron gate were dark stone walls, and the space inside was quite large, with a row of storage shelves displaying various items.

There were books, calligraphy and paintings, treasures, and in one corner there were boxes of gold, silver and medicinal herbs.

Ying Yufu slowly stepped inside, and the iron gate slammed shut behind them the instant they entered.

Instantly, a chilling aura enveloped them, and they felt a coldness seep into their very bones.

"Didn't Princess Anguo want silver coins? They're here." Ming Mobing pointed to a tall black wooden box in the corner.

He took a few steps forward, and Ying Yufu suddenly fed a pill into the prince's mouth.

The prince blinked and obediently opened his mouth to eat.

As my fingers withdrew, they accidentally touched his tongue.

Ying Yufu's eyes widened instantly, a strange tingling sensation swept through her entire body, and her face turned bright red.

Although she had done various things to the Crown Prince, none of them felt as different as this time.

If before it was just about petting cats, this time... this time it's like the kind of romantic scene in a storybook.

She quickly withdrew her hand, turned around, and followed Ming Mobing.

The prince licked his lips, then narrowed his eyes as if savoring the memory.

Ming Mobing walked ahead and naturally didn't see their little interaction until a faint fragrance slowly filled the secret room.

The fragrance is so faint that you can't smell it at all unless it's very strong.

"Fur!"

The prince suddenly cried out and then fell towards Ying Yufu.

He was almost a head taller than Ying Yufu, yet his imposing figure possessed a strange fragility.

"Your Highness!" Ying Yufu caught his body, but swayed and fell to the side.

The two of them fell down together, leaning against a large black box in the corner of the wall.

The black-clad boy, who had been being held by Ying Yufu, opened his eyes, got up, and walked to the white-clad youth's side.

"Brother, what should we do? Are they really Princess Anguo and the Crown Prince?"

An uneasy glint flickered in Ming Mozhuo's eyes.

Ming Mobing was silent for a moment, then said, "Most likely."

"Brother, what should we do? Should we offer Ying Yufu to the lord?"

Ming Mobing said, "We have no way out, do we? The Lord's target was Ying Yufu. If she really is, wouldn't we have accomplished a great feat?"

Ming Mozhuo asked anxiously, "Then... what about the Crown Prince?"

"Let's leave the Crown Prince to the Lord as well; perhaps he can bring the Lord a great surprise."

Ming Mozhuo took a deep breath. "Brother, do we really have to do this? If we do, what will happen to us..."

"If we don't do this, will Bei Xuan give us a way to survive?"

Then came a deathly silence. After a moment, Ming Mobing stepped forward, removed the disguise from the prince's face, and searched his body, finding the Northern Xuan Jade Pendant.

The symbol of the crown prince.

"Brother, he really is the Crown Prince..."

"Azhuo, go to the front courtyard and tell Father about this. Be quick and ask Father to make a decision immediately to appease Prince Qinjiang and the others."

"Okay." Ming Mozhuo turned around and walked outside.

However, he had only taken a few steps when suddenly, with a "plop," a small bone knife pierced his calf.

Ming Mozhuo felt a sharp pain, his legs buckled, and he fell to the ground.

He knelt down and turned to look behind him.

The two people who had been unconscious were now looking at them with clear eyes.

"Brother!"

Ming Mozhuo's expression changed drastically.

Ming Mobing threw out a handful of white powdery medicine with his backhand.

However, Ying Yufu had consumed the Cleansing Snow Lotus and was immune to all poisons, and the Crown Prince had just taken the pills given to him by Ying Yufu, so there was no effect on him.

Ying Yufu kicked Ming Mobing to the ground and then dislocated his limbs.

Moments later, the two Ming brothers collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince ransacked their secret chamber as if it were their own home.

"These are nano crystals." Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince stood in front of two large black boxes, looking at the silver crystals inside.

Those crystals were all multifaceted, irregular in shape, yet perfectly round and smooth, as if they were naturally so.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince discussed the crystals with curiosity for a while, and then Ying Yufu waved her hand, and the two large boxes of crystals disappeared into thin air.

"Yinhuazi... is gone!" The two Ming brothers stared wide-eyed at Ying Yufu in shock.

She truly is a goddess, possessing extraordinary abilities.

After accepting the crystal, Ying Yufu walked to several large boxes of gold and silver and waved them away.

Then there are medicinal herbs.

Next came the various rare and precious items on the shelves.

There are rare books, calligraphy and paintings, precious jade and other items from previous dynasties.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, their secret room was empty.

Finally, they rummaged through the letters and account books in the last box.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince casually picked up a letter and an account book and flipped through them. After reading them, the Crown Prince chuckled softly.

Ying Yufu remained expressionless.

The two Ming brothers stared at the two of them, their faces as white as paper. Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince finally walked slowly toward them.
