Seeing that the two people were no longer moving, Nangong Jue struggled to climb out of the window.

"Thump!" He fell to the ground.

"It hurts so much!" Nangong Jue quickly got up, rubbing his buttocks that felt like they were about to split in two.

He took out a signal flare; once it was launched, his father and mother would see it.

Just then, he heard someone approaching, the footsteps growing closer.

"Oh no, they're coming!" Nangong Jue quickly put away the signal flare and was about to run outside.

He ran a few steps and then suddenly stopped.

"These people are here to harm me." Nangong Jue took out the remote-controlled bomb and placed it next to a corpse.

Then he ran to the gate and took out a remote control, holding it in his hand.

Aunt Aiqi had told him that this explosive was called TATP, also known as "Mother of Satan." He didn't know what these names meant, but he knew that it was a powerful explosive, weighing two pounds, enough to destroy this yard.

People from outside arrived quickly, and the courtyard gate was opened, the door panel perfectly concealing Nangong Jue's small body.

Five people arrived, and when they saw the two corpses lying there, they were immediately horrified.

"What exactly happened?"

"Oh no, that window is open! The child might have run away. Hurry!"

All five of them ran over.

"Damn it." The man in black who had grabbed Nangong Jue was furious and strode over to look at the window first.

Nangong Jue dared not move, his palms sweating as he gripped the remote control. What if the bomb didn't explode?

"Oh no, that child has run away!"

"Then hurry and chase after them!"

Seeing that the five people had approached the bomb, Nangong Jue aimed the remote control at the bomb, touched the red button with his finger, closed his eyes, and pressed it hard.

With a loud "bang," flames shot into the sky.

A powerful blast wave swept outwards.

Nangong Jue covered his head with both hands and lay face down on the ground.

Before that, Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and looked at the ten corpses on the ground.

The Duke of Zhenguo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Your Highness, these ten men were all secret guards in the manor. They must have been assassinated by those assassins."

"There are too many guests today, and an assassin has even managed to sneak in," Prince Qi said angrily.

"No!" Qi Ziyang stood up after examining the assassin's body. "These guards were arranged by me. The assassin was able to kill them silently. There must be a traitor in the manor."

Nangong Yu tugged at Beichen Yan's hand and whispered, "Father, Jue'er is carrying poison powder and a bomb."

Bei Chenyan squatted down and asked him, "What else is Jue'er carrying?"

Nangong Yu opened his small bag to show him, "Jue'er is carrying the same things as me."

Nangong Xi looked at it and then nervously covered her small bag.

"Let me see." Bei Chenyan opened Nangong Yu's small bag and saw that there were signal flares inside. He felt a little relieved and hoped that his son could launch a signal flare to call for help.

"Summon the guards from the manor immediately..." Before the Duke of Zhenguo could finish speaking, a deafening explosion rang out.

Everyone was startled and turned to look. They saw a huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance, with flames and thick smoke billowing out.

"Your Highness, it's in the west of the city," Qi Ziyang called out.

"Jue'er." Bei Chenyan picked up Nangong Yu and flew towards the direction of the explosion.

Such a powerful explosion must be related to the son.

Now I just hope my son is alright.

Qi Ziyang and the guards of the Eastern Palace followed.

"Keep an eye on her." Nangong Wu handed her daughter to Li Shuang and followed.

She knew that it was her bomb, and the most powerful one at that.

Jue'er must have encountered danger to detonate the bomb.

A sharp pain shot through her heart, as if it were being gripped tightly by a hand. The pain was so intense that she clutched her chest and flew to the rooftop of a house.

Seeing that her condition was not good, Li, who was standing next to her, got down and supported her. "Your Highness, how are you?"

Nangong Wu looked up at the mushroom cloud, which seemed particularly glaring.

Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with intense killing intent. "If anything happens to Jue'er, I will make the entire Wan family pay for my son's death!"

"Your Highness, don't worry. The Second Prince is very clever. Perhaps he escaped. The explosives were probably left for the enemy by him."

The Second Prince took remote-controlled explosives, which require a certain distance to detonate. I believe he didn't intend to perish with the enemy.” Li Ke comforted her.

He saw Bei Chenyan open Nangong Yu's small bag and knew that the three children were carrying remote-controlled explosives.

Hearing his words, Nangong Wu felt her heart ache less. "Let's follow them first."

The two used their lightness skills to follow.

Bei Chenyan rushed to the explosion site as quickly as possible. As soon as he got close, a wave of heat hit him, along with flying rocks and wood chips.

"Father!" Nangong Yu was also shocked by the tragic scene.

Bei Chenyan's eyes were icy as he ordered the guards who had followed him, "Put out the fire immediately."

"Yes." The guards immediately dispersed.

He landed in front of the courtyard and could tell that it was a two-courtyard house. The front courtyard had been bombed and was now razed to the ground, with the surrounding walls also collapsed. The back courtyard was smaller, and although the houses there hadn't been bombed, they had been affected and caught fire.

He handed Nangong Yu over to the guards, took off his outer robe, and rushed into the courtyard.

He saw a wooden house with pieces of wood scattered everywhere, and the whole yard was ablaze.

"Jue'er! Where are you? Jue'er, Daddy's come to save you..."

"Your Highness, be careful!" Qi Ziyang and a group of guards rushed in.

"Go fetch water quickly!"

Bei Chenyan moved aside the burning pieces of wood.

The son had remote-controlled explosives, so he must have been at a safe distance. The son must still be alive.

When the guards saw this, they also came in to help search for the person.

Just then, Nangong Wu arrived. "Jue'er, where are you?"

It's clear that this courtyard is over 1,000 square meters and is surrounded by walls. Since Jue'er detonated the bomb remotely, he must still be in this courtyard.

Instead of rushing to search, she first considered the circumstances under which her son might detonate the remote-controlled explosives.

Jue'er carries poison powder and a crossbow. If he comes into close contact with the enemy, he will definitely attack with the poison powder first and then use the crossbow when the enemy is not paying attention. It is impossible for him to take out a remote-controlled bomb to blow up the enemy.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the son is not in the house.

"What is this?" Fang Jianxian picked something up from the ground.

Cao Li took a look and realized it looked very much like something only Nangong Wu could possess.

"This thing might belong to His Highness the Second Prince."

Upon hearing this, both Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu looked over.

"It's a remote control." Nangong Wu handed over the small remote control. "Where did you find it?"

"Here it is." Fang Jianxian pointed to a pile of collapsed stone walls.

"Quick, find someone!" Bei Chenyan rushed over first and moved a piece of the collapsed wooden door aside.
