“Why don’t we knock out the people bringing dinner when they come in, swap identities, and escape?” Jian Xun asked.

He felt that this was a good idea. It would be easier to escape if they disguised themselves as people from the 18 Stockaded Villages, right?

Although he agreed with Prince De, he had more faith in his own ideas.

However, he did not expect Prince De to roll his eyes speechlessly after hearing his suggestion. It was obvious from his expression that he thought he was stupid.

“Is this method not feasible?” he asked.

“Do you think it’s feasible?” Prince De asked.

Forget about whether they could overpower the people bringing them food; even if they knocked them out and disguised themselves, could they really escape?

Were the guards outside mere decorations?

“Jian Xun, do you think the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages are fools? Do you think you can fool them however you want?”

“Then what should we do?” Jian Xun asked. He was not confident in escaping now.

“I think…”

In the woodshed, the two of them began discussing how to escape secretly.

However, they were unaware that the guards outside could hear their conversation loud and clear. They mourned for the two people in the woodshed because they had never seen someone so stupid.

Did they really think that no one would watch them if they were tied up?

Prince De was the most crucial person to keep an eye on. The Chief had given them orders to watch these two people with their full manpower.

Would they ignore them?

“They’ve got lots of cheap tricks. I was almost fooled by that guy,” a guard muttered.

Of course, he was referring to Jian Xun. Everyone assumed he was stupid because of his silly behavior. But given the current situation, it seemed that guy was definitely pretending to make them lower their guard.

Sure enough, they were right not to let their guard down. Otherwise, those two might have actually escaped.

They looked silly, but they were actually very shrewd. They were capable of catching them off guard.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, there’s news from the capital.”

Ai Qi rushed into the meeting hall with a note in his hand. Shen Yan and Er Ning were discussing how to help Prince Zhan Yun at critical moments.

Upon Ai Qi’s arrival, they paused and looked at him.

“What did Elder Ding say?” Shen Yan asked.

Ai Qi handed the note to Shen Yan and said, “The situation in the capital is very tense. The Empress Dowager and the Eldest Prince are dead, so that dog of an Emperor has pinned all the blame on the Third Prince. He’s wanted in the capital.”

“Tsk!” Er Ning clicked his tongue.

He had always known that the old Emperor was a rotten apple, but now it seemed he had overestimated him.

Calling him a “rotten apple” was an insult to the words. He could kill his own mother and son, then falsely accuse another son.

Did he think having many sons meant he could just dispose of one or two without consequence?

“Big Brother, what should we do?” he asked Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was reading the note when he heard Er Ning’s question. He looked up at him seriously.

“Since Young Master is siding with Prince Zhan Yun, we have to listen to her.
