"Second Prince, our subordinate has sent someone to the Ministry of War, but we have not found the military defense map. Could it be that the people of Wu have found out our goal?" Baili Chen said.

Xiao Yun Chen immediately frowned when he heard this, and pointed at the table with his finger. He thought that perhaps he hadn't discovered anything much, but after a while, he saw Xiao Yun Chen shake his head, and said, "It won't, if they knew about it, they wouldn't be so polite to us. The military's defensive map is so important, it shouldn't be placed on a division official's desk so casually."

When Baili Chen saw this, he nodded his head and looked at Xiao Yun Chen with a serious expression, "Then what do we do now?" This was all thanks to the imperial concubine of Yan Country. If she hadn't made a pass at the Yan Emperor, the Yan Emperor wouldn't have allowed Xiao Yun Chen to take the military map of Wu Country back and be conferred the title of crown prince.

As a result, they would not fall into such a dilemma. The Sixth Prince of Wu was not an ordinary person, and it would not be easy for him to do something under his nose.

"Send people to keep an eye on the two lords in the military department. We must find out where the military map is located …" Before Xiao Yun Chen could finish speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Xiao Yun Chen and Baili Chen immediately felt for the dagger at their waists and looked at the door warily. They did not expect that the person at the door would be Dugu Yuan.

Dugu Yan walked into the room, closed the door, and sat in front of Xiao Yun Chen. He didn't care how ugly Xiao Yun Chen's expression was, he immediately said, "Naturally, the military's defensive map cannot be casually placed on the people from the military."

Xiao Yun Chen's expression was dark as he looked at Dugu Yan with a dangerous gaze and asked, "How much do you know about this?"

"Although not everyone knows about this, they did not hide it from us. We only need to investigate a little and we will know. That's why Royal Father sent me to assist you with the mission. Our Yan Nation's crown prince can only be you."

After Xiao Yun Chen heard this, his expression did not change. With his usual dark expression, he said to Dugu Yuan, "You don't need to help me with this matter. Just mind your own business."

Dugu Yuan did not get angry. She just said, "I know where the military defense map is." As expected, upon hearing Dugu Yuan's words, Baili Chen immediately turned to look at her in disbelief.

"Princess!" How could you possibly know? "Who told you?" As Xiao Yun Chen's subordinate, he naturally knew how difficult it had been for Xiao Yun Chen these past few years.

As long as he obtained the military defense map, Xiao Yun Chen would be able to relax a little. Dugu Yuan was not in a hurry to reply to Baili Chen, but was staring at him.

Xiao Yun Chen pursed his lips, "Speak." Hearing that, Dugu Yuan knew that Xiao Yun Chen had agreed to let her interfere. She smiled and said, "This military defense map is very important, it naturally has to be placed in the most heavily guarded area. Tell me, where do you think that place is?"

"The most heavily guarded area …" Baili Chen lowered his head and repeated the words of Dugu Yuan, then his eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Xiao Yun Chen and said, "It's the Imperial Palace of Wu Country! Second Prince! "

When Xiao Yun Chen heard this, he didn't have any expression on his face. "That's right. Where else could be safer than the Wu Imperial Palace. Looks like the thing we're looking for is in the Emperor Wu's imperial study."

"Second Prince, then what do we do?"

Xiao Yun Chen didn't say anything as he looked at Dugu Yuan. Dugu Yuan was rubbing her fingers on her cup, and when she noticed Xiao Yun Chen's gaze, she raised her eyebrows and said, "In my opinion, why don't we choose today and go there? It would be good for us to catch him off guard! "If that happens, they won't dare to do anything to us without evidence."

Thus, in the end, Dugu Yuan and Xiao Yun Chen changed into their night clothes and went to the Imperial Palace. Naturally, Baili Chen left behind some evidence that they were not present at the Imperial Study, so the two of them quickly found it.

At this time, Rong Qian also received the news, "Your Highness, Minister Lin went to the Ministry of Rites after the assembly today, and then returned to the Imperial Advisor's estate. He did not go out."

When Rong Qian heard this, his eyes flashed. He waved his hand and said, "Let them continue watching. If there is any movement, immediately come over and notify this prince."

The guard cupped his fist towards Rong Gan before retreating, looking out the window. He originally wanted to have his people deliver the information he had found to her so she could see Xiao Yun Chen's true appearance with her own eyes.

However, he didn't want to cause any more harm than he did in the past, and he also didn't want any more bad thoughts about him. Thus, he decided to wait a bit longer. Not long after Xiao Yun, Dugu Yuan, and the others entered the study, there were people patrolling outside.

Dugu Yuan came to Xiao Yun Chen's side and whispered to him, "Second Highness, why don't you look for a military map here? I'll lure the people outside away and we'll meet in the forest outside the city."

After quickly saying that, Dugu Yuan was about to leave when Xiao Yun Chen grabbed her arm, "Search here, I'll go lure the people outside."

After that, without any hesitation, she walked out of the imperial study. Dugu Yuan looked at Xiao Yun Chen's retreating back with a smile on her face. She knew that Xiao Yun Chen still had her in his heart.

After Xiao Yun Chen walked out of the Imperial Study, he intentionally revealed himself. Yu Lin Wei immediately followed behind him, and soon, the entire Imperial Palace was lit up with lanterns and lights. All of the eunuchs and maids shouted, "Capture the assassins! Catch the assassin! "

When Dugu Yuan heard the voice outside, her eyes flashed for a moment before she quickened her hands. Although the guards had been lured away by Xiao Yun for the time being, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't return later.

Dugu Yuan quickly searched every inch of the imperial study, but she couldn't find the military defense map. She bit her lips and felt unresigned as she bent down to touch every inch of the study table.

When he touched a spot in the middle of the desk, he stopped his hands. Then, he saw Dugu Yuan lift up the bright yellow cloth.

She took out her dagger and carefully pried it open. A piece of wooden board was pried open and inside laid a broken square piece of silk. Dugu Yuan picked it up and saw that there was a line of words on the silk: Border Military Defense Diagram.

Dugu Yuan's eyes lit up and she immediately put the map into her pocket. She then put everything back to how it was before carefully leaving the study room.

On the other side, Xiao Yun Chen never thought that the Yu Lin Guards of the Wu Country's imperial palace would be so powerful.
