Dou Dou sat inside the room obediently. The fake Lv Su had already left, and the terrifying man in his place went in and out.

Dou Dou pursed his lips and looked at the man. The man maintained a certain degree of disgust towards him, as if he was looking at a dirty beggar, revealing a noble and elegant look. It seemed that he was a person who thought highly of himself, but due to the orders, he had no choice but to look after him.

When it was time to eat, he would also bring in food on time. Although it was not as exquisite as the word Battle King Manor, it was still three dishes and a soup, and the taste was very delicious. Dou Dou's mouth was not picky to begin with, so he ate it without any complaints.

When the man saw that he was no longer making trouble, his disgust loosened a bit. He let the servant clear up the remaining food and sat down by the side to pick up a book to read. It was clear that he was planning to look after Dou Dou inside the house.

Dou Dou was a little anxious. He couldn't do anything about this man's words, but he couldn't do anything in the first place.

"Mother and Your Highness will definitely save me!" Dou Dou muttered to himself. He was still holding onto his fist to give himself strength and decided to find something to do.

Looking left and right, he noticed ink and paper on the table beside him. He walked over, spread out the paper, and began to draw.

The man noticed his movements and carefully squinted his eyes for a moment. He realized that he was only drawing with a brush, and he didn't do anything else. Moreover, he couldn't even clearly see what the drawings were, so his line of sight returned back to the book, paying no attention to him.

Dou Dou drew Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan, as well as Shangguan Yi and the others. He drew all the people he knew once, as if he could find the courage to face these blobs of ink, and at the same time, his little head started to turn.

At this moment, an old man opened the door and walked in. He gave the man a look, and the man understood what he meant. He put down his book, got up and left.

Dou Dou guessed what they were planning to discuss, so he sneaked his way to the door quietly and stuck close to the door to eavesdrop. Luckily the two of them were standing at the door to talk, although he lowered his voice, Dou Dou was able to hear them clearly.

"His Highness the Crown Prince will be back from the hunting grounds in three days. It's just that Prince Zhan took advantage of his injuries to return home early. We have to be extra careful, we'll take that child with us tonight."

"I got it, tonight we will let them make a ruckus elsewhere and distract them. We will take this opportunity to take the child out of the Shengjing. Although the guards of the four city gates have the old parts of the Prince Zhan, we don't need to worry that they won't get distracted after making a ruckus like this."

The two of them talked about other things for a while more. Dou Dou heard that there was nothing else important to do, so he took the chance and quickly returned to the table, pretending to continue drawing.

After a while, the man returned to the house. Seeing that Dou Dou had not moved his seat, he picked up his book again. Dou Dou heaved a sigh of relief, as he began to plan in his mind.

First of all, he had to make them lower their vigilance. Then, he had to find a way to tell Feng Yu where they were. However, he didn't have any clue as to how they were going to notify him.

Dou Dou put down his brush and slowly walked back to the bed. He curled his body and slipped into the blanket, pretending to be sleepy.

Closing his eyes, he tried his best to calm himself down. Unfortunately, his tiny mind could not think of anything at all, and just like that, despair grew deeper and deeper. At night, he saw a maid carrying food and another maid carrying a candle.

"Young Master Wang, let us handle this place. You go have a meal first."

The servant girl carrying the food said to the man, who nodded his head. He guessed that Dou Dou wouldn't be able to find any tricks under the supervision of the two of them, and put down the book to leave.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Dou Dou had no appetite at all. All he could think of was what would happen if he lost sight of his mother in the future.

He shook his head and put aside these thoughts. He thought back to what Feng Yu had said. He could not give up before completely falling into despair. Thinking about such nonsense was also a taboo.

If this place was on fire, wouldn't the people outside be able to discover it?

If only he had a fire piston, Dou Dou thought silently, his eyes secretly sweeping the maid in front of him. If he extinguished the candle, then the servant girl would have gone to get a fire piston.

Dou Dou rolled his eyes and took a big gulp of the soup. Under the condition of his bloated mouth, he suddenly acted as if he despised the taste of the soup and spat out the soup.

"What's the taste of this soup? It's so bad!"

Dou Dou shouted, and the soup immediately extinguished the candle. The two servants were startled, and their first reaction was indeed to take out a fire piston and burn the candle.

However, how could the wet candles be lit so easily? Dou Dou quickly stood up, pushed the dishes in front of them towards their faces, then fiercely kicked them out, pouncing towards them to snatch the fire piston.

These past few days, the horse stance had been quite useful. Dou Dou's current pain caused the two female attendants to grimace in pain, causing the fire piston to fall to the ground. But before Dou Dou could pick it up, he immediately lit one of the female attendants' dresses on fire.

Everyone was startled, the maid started screaming in panic as she tried to extinguish the flames on her body. Unfortunately, the two plates of food that Dou Dou had grabbed were too oily, and the flames immediately started to burn along with the oil. The other maid hurriedly went forward to extinguish the flames, but the oil on her body was also tainted by the sparks, causing the flames to burn even more fiercely.

Dou Dou was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to hurt anyone and tried his best to save the fire, so he quickly tore off their dresses, but unfortunately for him, the two maids didn't have the gratitude of being saved at all. They turned their heads angrily towards Dou Dou as they picked up the porcelain pieces on the ground and were about to stab him, using this method to vent their anger.

"You little brat, are you trying to scheme against me?" This old lady is not that hot.

Dou Dou quickly took off on his short legs. He quickly found that the house was on fire and was elated, but the current degree was not enough to attract attention.

Cleverly circling a few more rounds, this time even the two maids noticed that something was amiss. Only then did they realize that something had happened and were immediately stunned. That Young Master Wang also hurriedly ran over and upon seeing the scene in the room, frowned.

When Dou Dou saw him, he immediately took the initiative to report him, pretending to be scared out of his wits and shouted at him: "Uncle, these two people wanted to kill me. They said that after killing me, they would be burnt to ashes and no one would be able to see the scars, they would only think that Dou Dou had burned to death and wouldn't suspect them."

Master Wang's gaze flickered. The two maids' faces turned pale. They were anxious to explain themselves, but they were still holding the pieces of porcelain in their hands. How could they explain this clearly?

Young Master Wang thought that it was impossible for a six year old child to know about this. He must have repeated the words of the two servants after he said them, so he didn't hesitate to call the guards in order to kill the two maids. However, he still looked at Dou Dou with suspicion.

Dou Dou rolled his eyes, then shakily ran towards Young Master Wang, looking extremely scared, he hugged his leg and acted like a spoiled child.

"Uncle, uncle, Dou Dou is so scared, it's all thanks to uncle appearing, otherwise Dou Dou would have been killed."

Seeing his indifferent look, Dou Dou knew that he still doubted her, so she pretended to be unconscious. With a flip of her eyes, she collapsed limply to the ground.

The fire had already spread out. Young Master Wang reached out to pick him up and took him away.

"Hurry up and put out the fire, or else the officials will arrive …" Forget it, the people around us must have already realized this, let's move now. "

Dou Dou's face was buried in the crook of his arm, so Young Master Wang did not see his slightly trembling eyelashes.

He didn't know if his mother and Your Highness would realize this, but he had to leave behind as many marks as possible along the way.

Not long after Young Master Wang brought Dou Dou away, the rest of the people also quickly gave up on the house. By the time Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu arrived, the place was already empty.

Feng Yu walked towards the charred room in panic. Hearing that Murong Zhi had found two corpses, she was afraid that someone would say that one belonged to Dou Dou.

Suppressing the immense fear, Feng Yu was relieved when she saw the size of the corpse that Murong Zhi's subordinates had carried out. This kind of body obviously did not belong to Dou Dou.

She walked around the outer part of the ruins and saw that half of the piece of paper that had yet to be completely burnt off. Although there was something unknown on it, Feng Yu could still tell at a glance that it was painted by Dou Dou.

"Dou Dou was previously imprisoned here. I am certain that other than Dou Dou, no one else can draw such a thing."

Xuanyuan Zhan didn't understand Dou Dou that well, but when Feng Yu said that she would believe it, her face revealed a happy expression.

"Continue searching. Let's see if there are any other things we missed. Maybe we will find some clues left behind by the Young Prince." Xuanyuan Zhan ordered his subordinates as he turned to look at Feng Yu, who was trembling with emotion, and consoled him with a low voice, "Yu Er, don't worry, this means that Dou Dou is really fine. If that group of people wanted to kill him, they would have done so already.

Feng Yu nodded and raised her head to look at Xuanyuan Zhan: "Mn, I am very calm. I am thinking if they will bring Dou Dou out after this mess, right? I'm talking about taking away the Shengjing. "

"A few thieves appeared in a house on the north side of the city, as if they were massacring some merchant's house. The officials were very busy, and this merchant's daughter has a special position with a high official. It has indeed attracted a lot of attention, and the guards of the north gate have been called over to help out."

Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes narrowed, and Feng Yu instantly thought of something.

"Seal the city gate, but perhaps it's a way to lure the tiger out of the mountain. It's best if all the city gates are sealed!"

Xuanyuan Zhan completely agreed with her thinking.

"Lightning, Thunder Rain, do as the wangfei says. Bring your men, even the city walls are carefully guarded. Anyone who goes over immediately surround them."

Lightning Rain immediately followed the order, performed a movement technique and disappeared into the night.
