Gu Yifeng had already risen from the couch, and Lin Youning hurriedly got up as well, with Gu Yifeng quickly reaching out to support her.
As they walked out together, Gu Yifeng asked, "How is he? Where is he?"
"He was brought back by the Hidden Guard, covered in blood on his chest, a doctor has been sent for. Li Si had someone deliver a message to the Marquis, saying that they encountered an ambush just after leaving the estate. It seems those people were already around the estate, ready to intercept anyone who left."
Faced with such an incident, Lin Youning pressed her lips tightly together, suspecting it must be related to the Eldest Prince, though she didn't understand why the Eldest Prince was so desperate to find Prince Shou, or what use Prince Shou could be to him.
Gu Yifeng nodded, "You and Madam stay in the back courtyard, I'll handle the front."
