"Qingyu!"
Xiao Huaiqing shouted, and when he saw Luo Qingyu staring at the direction Lin Yue left, a hint of displeasure suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Luo Qingyu quickly turned around and said respectfully, "My Lord, I will help you untie it right away."
Xiao Huaiqing nodded, and after he was untied, he touched the place where he was beaten and grimaced in pain.
Lin Yue was too ruthless. He said, "This shameless woman has been lying to me. It turns out she knows everything and yet she dares to pretend to be innocent in front of me."
"You saw it just now, she even pretended to sprain her ankle. It was really disgusting."
"Young Master..." Luo Qingyu hesitated to speak.
Xiao Huaiqing said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? We grew up together. Just tell me what you want to say. I never doubt you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyu immediately said, "I think the princess' ankle is indeed swollen, it doesn't look like she's pretending."
Xiao Huaiqing was stunned, but then he saw Luo Qingyu speaking up for Lin Yue, and he said dissatisfiedly: "So what? She deserved it. What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't mention anything about her in front of me anymore, it's bad luck!"
Luo Qingyu quickly agreed, but he was still worried in his heart, why could he hear the princess's thoughts?
It seems that I have to go and check it out tonight. The princess's behavior today is very abnormal. It seems that she doesn't care about the prince at all.
Could it be... that the princess is possessed by some demon?
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyu's eyes tightened and he said quickly, "My Lord, please don't leave yet. I'll go check on the princess and make sure she's...make sure she's asleep before I come back to pick you up."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Huaiqing to speak, Luo Qingyu locked the dungeon door and left.
Xiao Huaiqing ran to the door and knocked on it, saying, "Qingyu, why are you afraid of that woman? Let me out first, I..."
However, what responded to him was the sound of footsteps that were getting farther and farther away.
At the same time, in the main room.
As soon as Lin Yue returned, Nanny Zhang came out to greet her happily and said, "The Queen has prepared a surprise for the Princess. Would you like to see it?"
"What's so mysterious?" Lin Yue was confused.
Nanny Zhang pulled the princess into a deserted corridor and whispered, "It's the Shadow Guard."
"Shadow Guard?"
"Shh, Princess, keep your voice down. No one else can hear it."
Lin Yue's eyes lit up like stars in the dark night.
A shadow guard who comes and goes without a trace, who doesn't even ask for food, and who only needs a monthly salary? He's reliable, tight-lipped, and always available.
"Where is it? I must see you!"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhang decisively took Lin Yue to the small courtyard behind the main house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw two tall, capable men dressed in black, with a cold aura.
But as Nanny Zhang turned on the lights in the room, two young and resolute faces instantly came into her eyes.
He was about twenty years old, with handsome features, a stern face and very sharp eyes. It was obvious that he was a master spy who had undergone rigorous training.
Lin Yue asked, "Did the Emperor's sister-in-law give you these to me?"
The two shadow guards immediately knelt and said, "We are following the orders of the Xu family's Patriarch. We will obey Princess Ding's orders from now on and will never betray her."
Nanny Zhang quickly explained, "The Empress wrote back to the Duke of Jin's Mansion to ask for it for the Princess."
Therefore, the favor must be remembered for the queen.
Lin Yue understood. It just so happened that she needed someone right away, and she was worried that Nanny Wang would poison her while she was sleeping.
Now that she had a secret guard, she could sleep more peacefully.
Lin Yue asked, "Do you have a name?"
The two said in unison: "Master, please give us a name."
This means that from now on, these two secret guards are her people and have nothing to do with the Duke of Jin's Mansion, right?
Lin Yue was secretly delighted and pointed to the shadow guard on the left and said, "Then your name is Haoyue."
Then he said to the one on his right, "Your name should be Xingchen."
"As for what exactly I want you to do, I'll think about it."
At this time, Haoyue looked up and replied: "We can deliver messages for the princess, kill people, and save people."
Although he didn't know why the original owner asked them to say the word "message" first, Haoyue still felt relieved when he heard it now.
Because only after they completed the last order, they would completely obey Princess Ding's orders.
At the same time, Xingchen repeated, "Delivering messages, killing people, saving people, and secretly investigating secrets are the most basic skills of the Shadow Guard."
When Lin Yue heard this, she immediately thought of Xiao Jingyun.
But if her people went there rashly, she was afraid that Xiao Jingyun would not believe it at all.
Thinking of the calm and composed Bai Changshi, perhaps he could.
Lin Yue immediately said, "I understand. You can leave first."
Haoyue and Xingchen quickly disappeared into the darkness. Nanny Zhang turned off the lights in the room and helped Lin Yue out.
Luo Qingyu, who was watching this scene not far away, was stunned.
The Queen and the Emperor sent people to the palace one after another. Could it be that they wanted to deal with their prince?
No, he has to report this matter to Bai Changshi!
…
"Bai Changshi, something bad has happened."
"The Queen has sent a shadow guard to the Princess's side."
Luo Qingyu came to Bai Changshi's residence and couldn't wait to report.
Unexpectedly, Bai Changshi stood up slowly, closed the door calmly, and said, "I know."
Luo Qingyu was surprised: "You know?"
Bai Changshi nodded and said, "It seems that the princess did go to the palace to file a complaint."
Luo Qingyu almost bit his tongue. He wanted to ask if it was possible that the princess had been replaced.
