Chapter 269: Letter Regarding the Border
"My Lord, His Majesty has prepared a carriage to take you back to the palace for a good rest. You don't have to come to the court tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Huo Jin nodded, and the moment he raised his hand, he staggered as if drunk, "Please thank His Majesty for me, eunuch."
After saying that, Huo Jin saw his hands hanging down, and Wei San quickly stepped forward to support him.
Seeing this, Wang Quanshan asked with some concern: "Is the prince drunk? We should find someone to escort him back."
Wei San wanted to refuse, but Wang Quanshan had already called the nearby Royal Guards and repeatedly instructed them to send Huo Jinjian back to the palace safely.
Seeing this, Lone Ying, who was waiting in the dark to report the situation, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that he was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, Huo Jin had no chance to pass on the confidential information he had discovered.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Ying turned around and ran out of the palace towards the Marquis' Mansion.
This matter is too urgent, he must spread it quickly to avoid any accidents.
Huo Jinjian once said that if he was really inconvenienced, he could go find Liang Moyuan.
A gust of night wind blew into the main courtyard.
Mei Shu took the cloak and tied it around Liang Moyuan's shoulders.
Liang Moyuan held the silver needle, and her slender jade-like hands flew across the embroidery cloth.
Feeling the warmth on her body, Liang Moyuan raised her head and met Mei Shu's eyes.
Mei Shu's tone was filled with heartache: "Princess, go to bed early. If the prince comes back and knows that you haven't rested so late, he will be distressed."
She smiled and shook her head, her smooth black hair without a trace of decoration swaying like ripples in the breeze.
"I can't sleep. My husband has been in the palace for a few days. I heard that he is not used to sleeping. I made him a small pillow that is easy to carry with him. It will be useful in the future..."
Before he could finish his words, Mei Shu's expression suddenly became serious.
There was a murderous look in her eyes. She turned her head suddenly, looked somewhere outside the window, and shouted.
"Who's there? Get out!"
She took out the red whip and protected Liang Moyuan.
A dark shadow flashed by, the window was pushed open and a familiar face looked out.
It was a lone figure from the dark side.
Mei Shu immediately relaxed his vigilance, put away the Red Whip, and stepped aside to let Liang Moyuan pass behind him.
"What's wrong?" Liang Moyuan watched Gu Ying walk up to her with a heavy face and fumbled out a piece of letter paper.
Lone Ying lowered his voice and said, "At the palace banquet today, an envoy secretly carried a secret letter. Because of the palace search, he secretly wanted to burn it, but was intercepted by my subordinates."
Gu Ying was hiding in the dark at the time. When he saw someone from the envoy group acting suspiciously, as if they were about to burn something secretly, someone from another dark department deliberately made some noise.
The moment he turned around cautiously, the letter in his hand was replaced by Gu Ying.
Liang Moyuan raised her hand and took the envelope.
In the light of the candle, the light in Liang Moyuan's eyes flickered, and her pupils trembled with the content of the letter.
Her hand suddenly tightened, and the letter paper was wrinkled.
It actually contains important information about border military affairs!
No one except the emperor and officials related to the Grand Council is qualified to read such detailed content.
Liang Moyuan's lips opened slightly, and her delicate brows were furrowed.
So this letter...who was it originally intended for?
But no matter who it is given to, the content above cannot be leaked.
As her eyes turned, an idea came to her mind.
"If the letter wasn't delivered this time, there will definitely be another time... Meishu, bring me some paper and pen."
Gu Ying waited quietly by the side, waiting for Liang Moyuan to rewrite a letter based on the handwriting on the letter he brought.
Liang Moyuan carefully folded the secret letter he had written in half and handed it to Gu Ying.
"Continue to follow that person. If you see him thinking about who to give the letter to, find an opportunity to switch them. You must find a chance to report this to the prince."
Lone Ying lowered his eyes and accepted the order: "Yes."
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the darkness.
Liang Moyuan looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky and couldn't help but worry about Huo Jinjian's situation.
The border is guarded by the King of Zhenbei, and this secret letter is enough to prove that there is chaos at the border.
Now that Huo Jin is in charge of receiving Li Mingce and envoys from the border, he must be surrounded by dangers.
I hope that everything I do can help Huo Jin.
At this time, Huo Jin was sitting on the couch in the hall, staring at the bright moon outside the window, his brows slightly furrowed.
He pretended to be drunk during the banquet so that some people would let down their guard.
Wei San brought the sobering soup specially given by the emperor: "Master, this is a reward from the emperor."
"You are the one who drank quite a lot of wine, so go ahead and drink." Huo Jin shook his head slightly, looking at Wei San with concern in his eyes.
Just as Wei San was about to refuse, a bird song was heard outside.
He is from the Anbu.
Huo Jin gave Wei San a look.
He immediately understood what she meant, turned around and pointed the hall door at the palace maid outside and said, "The prince has drunk too much and has a bit of heartburn. Go get some sweets."
When there was no one outside, Wei San returned and nodded at Huo Jinjian.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ying jumped down from the beam.
