Chapter 215 He felt that this time he was probably really going to die!
(Thanks to YushengCX330 for casting 2 monthly tickets.)
Li Shiyue is going to be taken away by Zhao Guang'an.
Of course, her brain system also beeped as she was being taken away.
Task completed, points and a chance to win a prize are yours.
That means Liu Shu won't die this time.
Oh, of course he won't die.
If he dies, where will this garbage system called "Cultivating a Beloved Concubine" send out missions?
But what if he dies?
What will happen to that garbage system in Li Shiyue's brain?
What will happen to Li Shiyue?
Li Shiyue didn't have time to think about these issues at the moment. She and the girl were about to be taken away by Zhao Guang'an's men. Zheng was being escorted out when she saw Yan Jiuniang trying to push through the crowd.
Li Shiyue quickly frowned and gently shook her head at Yan Jiuniang, who was not far away.
Yan Jiuniang saw Li Shiyue shake her head, so she slowed her pace, but still took several more steps forward.
"General, I am acquainted with General Liu Tan and His Highness the Crown Prince."
I saw the Crown Prince on the second floor of Junyoulai today, so I rushed over to save him.
I know that the general has his own unavoidable difficulties, and I am willing to go with the general.
However, could I ask one of my henchmen to send a message home for me? They need to know where I am, don't they?
Zhao Guang'an was in a real bind at this moment, his mind filled with the image of Liu Shu's clothes soaked in blood.
He felt that this time he was probably really going to die!
Last time, Liu Shu took her page to Sanshan County to look for Liu Tan, but was kidnapped by a group of bandits led by an old man nicknamed "Ghost Uncle". In the end, Liu Tan sent Ma San to patrol the mountain, and with Li Shiyue's help, they finally found Liu Shu at Qin Tao's house.
After Zhao Guang'an sent Liu Shu, who had almost recovered from her injuries, back to the Prince's residence, the Princess Consort, considering that Zhao Guang'an was related to her and that his father and brothers were all in the army, only punished Zhao Guang'an with half a year's salary and gave him a severe scolding. She then still allowed Zhao Guang'an to remain the commander of the Crown Prince's personal guards.
As soon as Liu Shu left the Prince's residence, Zhao Guang'an followed her around like glue.
Even though Liu Shu disliked it, Zhao Guang'an still followed her closely.
Later, Liu Shu complained to the princess a few times, and the princess then spoke to Zhao Guang'an, saying, "You are the prince's personal guard, and you must protect the prince."
But you can't let the Crown Prince lose face in public, can you?
Whose guards stick so close to their master?
The princess's words were truly embarrassing.
Zhao Guang'an was the second legitimate son of their family line, although his father was only a son of a branch family, unlike the princess's father who was the legitimate son of the main branch.
But no matter what, the heir apparent is just a heir apparent now, not a prince yet.
The princess really shouldn't have referred to the crown prince as Zhao Guang'an's "master"!
With the princess's word, from then on, whenever Liu Shu went out, Zhao Guang'an had no choice but to place his personal guards nearby to follow her secretly, while he himself stayed close to Liu Shu to protect her.
But as time went on, Liu Shu became quite annoyed by the fact that a big, bearded man was always by his side, so he inevitably started saying some unpleasant things to Zhao Guang'an.
Zhao Guang'an outwardly listened attentively to the reprimand, but inwardly he probably wanted to slap Liu Shu ten or eight times over.
Recently, because Yan Jiuniang ran away from her arranged marriage, Liu Shu accepted the Prince of Zhenbei's order to search for Yan Jiuniang's whereabouts, hoping to find her and bring her back to be married.
How can Liu Shu find him?
It was just a matter of asking Liu Tan and keeping an eye on Xingsheng Tower.
Xingshenglou was originally established by the Prince of Zhenbei, and Yan Jiuniang was just a nominal wealthy merchant owner.
Moreover, Xingsheng Tower is secretly an intelligence broker. If the Prince of Zhenbei were to act ruthlessly, he should be able to find Yan Jiuniang's whereabouts.
However, on the one hand, the Prince of Zhenbei did not really want to fall out with Yan Jiuniang. He still considered the hard work Yan Jiuniang had done for him over the years, and also had some father-daughter affection for her.
On the other hand, as Yan Jiuniang said, although she was only the nominal owner, she had not been without backup plans over the years at Xingsheng Restaurant.
Moreover, she had a good relationship with Liu Tan since childhood. With Liu Tan's maternal uncle's family and Jiang Huijun's maternal family, if the Prince of Zhenbei really wanted to force Yan Jiuniang to her death, he would have to think twice.
Therefore, the Prince of Zhenbei entrusted Liu Shu with the task of finding Yan Jiuniang.
So during this period, Liu Shu would always go to Xingshenglou, and he would have Zhao Guang'an bring people to wait for him at a teahouse on the same street where Xingshenglou was located.
Even though Zhao Guang'an hated Liu Shu to death, he couldn't just abandon his post as the commander of the personal guards.
At that time, Liu Shu said to Zhao Guang'an: "That time I was careless."
Now, right here in this city, who am I? Everyone knows me.
Besides, more than half a year has passed, where would so many bandits be watching me now?
"Alright, it's settled then. You all stay at the teahouse and wait for me. I'll just sit in Xingsheng Restaurant for half an hour. When the time comes, you can come and pick me up."
"Your Highness, why don't we go to Xingsheng Tower first and wait there? Once Your Highness is finished, we can escort you back to the Prince's residence?"
As soon as Zhao Guang'an finished speaking, Liu Shu's face fell.
Having been designated as the heir apparent at a young age, Liu Shu could only tolerate a little bit of his half-brothers, Liu Tan and Yan Jiuniang, apart from the Prince of Zhenbei and his wife.
Oh no, there's also Li Shiyue!
Why is Liu Shu still able to speak to Li Shiyue with a pleasant tone despite Li Shiyue's repeated provocations?
Well, it's just these few points:
First, that was outside. Look at how Liu Shu behaves inside the Prince's mansion.
Secondly, Li Shiyue always had a legitimate reason for provoking Liu Shu.
She always walks a tightrope, standing on a moral high ground, making it impossible for someone like Liu Shu, who values her reputation above all else, to lose her temper on the spot.
Oh, of course, it's also because Li Shiyue once saved him, and Li Shiyue is very popular with Liu Tan and Jiang Huijun.
This last point is something you probably didn't expect.
So it turns out that Li Shiyue's previous use of fertility pills and vitality water wasn't for nothing; when she dresses up, she really is a beautiful young lady.
When I was watching the play "Two Brothers" at the restaurant, I unexpectedly met Liu Tan and Liu Shu. Liu Shu was amazed when she first saw Li Shiyue.
But who is Zhao Guang'an?
Zhao Guang'an was merely the second son of a branch of Liu Shu's maternal family, yet he dared to repeatedly refute Liu Shu's dignity.
Liu Shu was furious!
Disregarding Zhao Guang'an's authority in front of his subordinates, Liu Shu pointed her finger at him and started yelling at him!
What can Zhao Guang'an do?
I had no choice but to comply with his wishes.
As for why Liu Shu didn't let Zhao Guang'an and the others wait for him at Xingsheng Restaurant?
There's a reason for that.
Manager Jin of Xingsheng Restaurant reserved a private room for Liu Shu on the second floor.
During this period, whenever Liu Shu came, the private room was not only prepared with a fine feast, but also with top-quality wines and two charming young women.
Tell me, how could Liu Shu let Zhao Guang'an know that he wasn't going to Xingsheng Restaurant to urge Manager Jin to reveal Yan Jiuniang's whereabouts, but instead to enjoy fine wine, delicacies, and beautiful women?
