Ningmen Prefecture dock.
Xiao Yeyang and Daohua had just disembarked when they saw several solemn-looking middle-aged men dressed as commoners approaching them.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang subconsciously furrowed his brows.
"Master!"
The men greeted Xiao Yeyang respectfully.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, who looked somewhat worried, smiled to signal that there was nothing to worry about, and then walked aside with the men before asking in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
One of them replied in a hushed tone, "Master, Prince Rui has just sent a message. The Emperor left the palace a few days ago and might have come to Zhongzhou. Master must be careful. If you see the Emperor, you must ensure his safe return to the capital."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed dramatically, "What is the royal uncle doing leaving the palace without any apparent reason?"
The hidden guard shook his head.
