As soon as Li Huai'an left, the men who had been following Zhao Shouzhen gathered together, and one of them asked, "Your Highness, the thing that Prince Li just gave to Lord Zhao looks like a silver note."
Shen Hanshan touched the human skin mask on his face. After the weather turned cold, the human skin mask was very uncomfortable to wear.
He said in a deep voice, "Yes. The wife of Duke Li and the wife of Lord Zhao are very close friends. It is perfectly reasonable for her to give Lord Zhao some personal money."
Du Heng, standing to the side, asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, we've been following for so long, and Miss Zhao still hasn't appeared. Should we continue following her?"
"Follow them. When you arrive in Chaoyang County, remember their location. I have other matters to attend to at the Prince's residence, so I'll head back first. You must all protect Lord Zhao well."

Shen Hanshan spurred his horse at full speed, and as soon as he arrived at Prince Rui's residence, he heard a sharp whooshing sound from the side. He nimbly squeezed his legs around the horse's belly and quickly lowered his body, skillfully dodging the arrow that was shooting straight at him.

If you dare to bring a single soldier, I will make her perish. Next time, it won't be as simple as just sending you hair."
The other party seemed to be getting impatient.
Along with the letter was a lock of a woman's hair.
Shen Hanshan's heart tightened; the fragrance on that strand of hair was the one the Princess usually used.
He could hardly imagine the scene of Zhao Chunhua having her hair cut off by the other party. Someone as proud as her would be furious.
No, he had to get Zhao Chunhua out of there quickly, lest she get so upset that she miscarried.
