“Ah Yun, my father said that you should draw it. Can you do it?” Zhao Shu asked.
Sun Yun withdrew his gaze and said somewhat absentmindedly, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Bi Qiao personally ground the ink and laid out the paperweight. Prince Yong stood beside her and slowly said, "Sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, thick lips, protruding ears, double-lidded eyes, a high nose bridge, and a rather deep-set face, somewhere between square and round..."
Zhao Shu was stunned.
Sun Yun pondered for a moment, then slowly began to draw on the paper. Prince Yong then said, "Medium build..."
Zhao Shu: ...Even more confused.
Sun Yun continued drawing, but after about 15 minutes, he could no longer recall any other characteristics of Song Tianhe. After he finished speaking, Sun Yun also stopped drawing.
"Uncle, please look, is this the person?" Sun Yun handed the painting to Prince Yong for his opinion.
Prince Yong looked at it in surprise and said, "It's similar, extremely similar. Song Tianhe's forehead isn't that wide; it's narrower."
Sun Yun added a few more strokes, "Please take a look."
"It's just like it, just like it." Prince Yong praised Sun Yun highly, "Sixth Miss's painting skills are superb, I admire them."
Zhao Shu rolled up the painting, pondering in her mind that ten years had passed, and Song Tianhe must have changed a lot. She would need to find a man in his thirties to impersonate him, which would be extremely difficult.
Danqing finished rolling up the painting. "Father, Ayun, I have to go find Aunt Huo, so I won't be able to dine with you. I'll be leaving now." She was in a hurry, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was already out of the house.
"Ah Jun, your father..." He stopped mid-sentence when he heard that he was going to find Huo Danlan.
Zhao Shu desperately wanted to take her father to the government office, but Wei Tingsi was also there, and he clearly didn't want anyone to know that he had come to Guanzhou.
They hurriedly left the imperial palace and headed straight for the government office.
The Guanzhou government office was actually not far from the imperial palace; it was only an hour's carriage ride away.
As the birthplace of the royal family, Guanzhou Prefecture was much more exquisite than ordinary local prefectures. In early spring, the local prefect was notified in advance. Now that Prince Yong and Zhao Shu had excellent reputations, the prefect immediately agreed when he heard that the Prince wanted to borrow the prefecture to interrogate the criminals, and personally waited in front of the prefecture.
However, Zhao Shu did not appear despite waiting and waiting.
Jiang Yue's ability to be brought to Guanzhou proves that she is extremely useful. Zhao Shu had just left the palace when the carriage was stopped by a group of men in black after traveling for only half an hour. The Pengcheng army had not arranged for anyone to patrol this area.
Without a word, the men in black rushed towards her. Tang Gang and Wu Feng, along with the assassin Han Ying and the maid Wan Dong, were protecting Zhao Shu. They huddled in the carriage and surrounded Zhao Shu without panicking. Huo Danlan had given the ugly old woman to Zhao Shu. Although she wasn't her personal protector and spent most of her time at the Huo residence, she would still take time every day to train the maids, including Chu Chun.
Although they had only been around for a short time and were not yet capable of protecting Zhao Shu, they were no longer ordinary maids.
An arrow shot out and knocked the carriage curtain off.
“Princess, are those Xiao Guozi and Xiao Zhuzi?” Wan Dong suddenly asked.
Zhao Shu looked over and saw that Xiao Zhu Zi and Xiao Guo Zi had arrived and were fighting with dozens of men in black, but the number of men in black seemed to be increasing.
Seeing that Xiao Guozi and the others were surrounded by men in black, it was only a matter of moments before Tang Gang and Wu Feng were stabbed and fell to the ground, losing their fighting ability. Xiao Guozi and Xiao Zhuzi were also injured to varying degrees.
A man in black, who seemed to be the leader, stepped out from the group of people in black. The knife in his hand hung on the ground, leaving a long scratch. In the darkness, his eyes stared at Zhao Shu like those of a wolf.
Suddenly, he raised the knife in his hand and charged straight at Zhao Shu. Wan Dong and Sheng Xia, who were surrounding Zhao Shu, saw the man in black rushing towards them and immediately hugged Zhao Shu, intending to use their backs to block the man in black's knife.
Suddenly, with a cry of "Ah!", Zhao Shu felt as if the whole world had stopped, but her mind remained perfectly clear. She parted the curtains of late winter and midsummer, peeked out, and looked out of the carriage.
