Shen Jiaojiao walked up to him with great interest and said to the others, "You may continue."
Then, pointing at the squad leader, he said, "You stay!"
The others didn't ask any further questions, just glanced at it curiously, and then left.
Shen Jiaojiao looked him up and down, carefully examining his face, before asking, "Liu Piaopiao, what are you doing hiding in the Crown Prince's residence?"
That's right, the man dressed as a guard is none other than Liu Piaopiao, who disguised herself as a man back then.
The two walked to a nearby pavilion and sat down.
Liu Piaopiao recalled how the other person had groped her, and her feelings were complicated. She spoke resentfully:
"Some people used to lay hands on me, but now they don't react at all. Sigh!"
Shen Jiaojiao also recalled the impulsive act of the monkey stealing peaches back then, and felt somewhat resentful.
"Oh, don't worry about the details. Tell me what you're here for?"
Liu Piaopiao was also defeated by her shamelessness, and said angrily, "Hmph! You scumbag!"
Shen Jiaojiao simply remained silent, after all, she was the one in the wrong, and she felt rather embarrassed.
Liu Piaopiao noticed the other person's silence and realized there was no point in continuing the conversation, so she spoke up on her own.
"Ever since I learned of the Liu family's downfall, I have resumed dressing as a man."
Oh, by the way, I've given myself a new name. From now on, call me Liu Changshou!
Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, how much do you want to live!"
Liu Changshou had an expression that said, "You don't understand." Since the mountain that had been weighing him down was gone, his mood had improved a lot.
Suddenly, I felt the urge to confide in someone: "You've been to Jiangnan, so you should know how dark the Liu family is, right?"
Like rats in a sewer, they are disgusting.
I used to pretend to be a woman, act weak, and scheme. Every day was exhausting.
These days as a bodyguard have been the happiest days of my life.
I've even become a squad leader! Pretty awesome, right?
Shen Jiaojiao gave a thumbs up: "Amazing! Amazing!"
Suddenly, she remembered the bombing of the Liu family's house and casually asked, "By the way, did you know that a lot of explosives were sold under the Liu family's house?"
She didn't have much hope to begin with, after all, the housekeeper had told her that the strange woman from back then had appeared many years ago.
Surprisingly, Liu Changshou remained calm and even replied, "I know!"
Shen Jiaojiao asked in surprise, "You really know? Tell me more?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Changshou said, "If I tell you everything, can you take me with you? Hehehe, we're old acquaintances, so you can trust me to handle things. Besides, I'm not bad looking, so it'll be a lot of face to take me out."
Before Shen Jiaojiao could answer, a threatening voice suddenly came from behind: "Who do you want to follow?"
As soon as Liu Changshou turned around, he saw the Crown Prince staring at him with a threatening expression, as if he would be torn to pieces if he uttered a single wrong word.
His hair stood on end, his mind raced, and he slid to his knees in a kneeling motion:
"Your Highness, I just privately recommended myself to the Crown Princess. I have heard of Your Highness's reputation since I was a child and wish to serve you. I hope Your Highness will give me the opportunity. I will definitely do my best."
Chu Tianling passed by him, walked towards Shen Jiaojiao, and hugged her tightly in his arms before turning his gaze to Liu Changshou, who was kneeling.
"What's your name?"
"Liu Changshou".
"What can you do?"
"Can sing, dance, draw, write..."
Chu Tianling's head was spinning the more he listened: "You're a grown man, and this is what you've learned?"
Liu Changshou smiled awkwardly. He had always been raised as a girl, so there was nothing he could do.
They just learn whatever the head of the family arranges for them to learn.
There was simply no choice.
Chu Tianling frowned: "Since you don't have any special skills, I can't let you stay."
Liu Changshou eagerly began to promote himself: "Useful, useful! I'm young, quick-witted, and fast. If anyone tries to assassinate Your Highness, I can be the first to stand in front of you. I am devoted to Your Highness."
Chu Tianling roared, "Shut up! Who cares about your feelings?"
Shen Jiaojiao laughed so hard she was shaking in his arms; it was so funny.
Chu Tianling originally didn't think much of him.
But considering he indirectly made Jiaojiao happy just now, I guess he's been somewhat useful.
"From now on, follow Dazhuang!"
Anyway, Dazhuang likes men, so if he's interested, it would be a good match to pair them up.
He was unaware that Dazhuang had already renounced worldly desires and was no different from a monk.
"What were you talking about just now?" Chu Tianling asked.
Seeing that his future was secured, Liu Changshou felt relieved: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely do my best!"
"Just now, the Crown Princess asked me if I knew that there were explosives planted in the Liu family's residence."
“I was just about to say that.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianling realized it was indeed important business, and with a beauty in his arms, he was also eager to listen.
"Stand up and speak, explain carefully."
Liu Changshou stood up and began to speak.
"The discovery of that thing was an accident. I was still young at the time, and because of my outstanding looks, I received training from the head of the family."
Some people don't like me and they secretly suppress me.
Back then, when I couldn't sleep at night, I would sneak out and find a quiet place to sit still.
It was around that time that they discovered men in black had secretly infiltrated the Liu family and buried things in several hidden locations.
At the time, I didn't quite understand what they were doing, so I hid in the shadows and observed.
I just happened to overhear the conversation.
"Isn't the master cooperating with the Liu family? Why are they sending us to plant explosives for the Liu family?!"
"If the Liu family angers the adults, we can use this to take them down in one fell swoop. That's probably the adults' thinking. That's why she can be an adult, and we can only do the work!"
"That's true. I don't know how you're so amazing, sir. You can even make bombs. Is there anything you can't do?"
"You are not someone we can aspire to be with. Don't overthink it. Hurry up and finish this so we can go back to the Kingdom of Women. I miss women!"
Now that you mention it, I've been thinking about it too.
After listening to Liu Changshou's words, which were similar to what the steward had said, they could only confirm that the man was from the Women's Kingdom.
Chu Tianling said, "Isn't the Women's Kingdom coming? According to the journey, it should be within the next few days. When that time comes, you and Dazhuang should try to find out if there are any special people among the people coming."
Liu Changshou was overjoyed at the task he was about to be assigned, and he was now full of motivation.
The reply was exceptionally loud: "Yes, Your Highness, we guarantee to complete the mission."
"Alright, that's all for you. Go now!"
Chu Tianling waved his hand and sent the person away.
He noticed that Shen Jiaojiao's expression was off when the topic of explosives came up.
His gaze was distant, as if he were recalling something.
There was also a lingering worry; he didn't understand what she was worried about.
