After returning to her room and reading the letter, Chen Jingshu wrote a reply to Yan Shaoheng and had the mechanical bird take it out.
She held the letter Yan Shaoheng had given her, lost in thought. "I wonder how Xiao'er is doing?"
"If Xiao'er knew about her true parentage, would she resent me, her mother?"
After Yan Shaoheng received Chen Jingshu's letter, everything was as he expected.
In her letter, Chen Jingshu asked him to take Liu Xuening with him.
"She still knew everything."
That day, so many people stopped their prison van, and in front of everyone, they revealed that Yan Shaoheng was gay.
With witnesses and physical evidence all available, how could Chen Jingshu not know?
"Cheng Ying, find a way to send 'Shadow' to Xiao'er and Liu Xuening."
"Yes, Master."
"Be careful, don't get caught."
The Prince Xiao's mansion is heavily guarded now, making it virtually impossible to send anything in to Yue Zhixiao and Liu Xuening.
Cheng Ying still had to prepare for Yan Shaoheng's return to the capital, so she could only contact the hidden film studio after dark.
Because the Yuelai guests were still surrounded by the people during the day, Cheng Ying did not expect that these people would be so persistent.
They waited from day to night, and even after dark, there were still a few people waiting at the entrance of Yuelai Guesthouse.
Cheng Ying looked at the people at the door and said, "These scoundrels really haven't given up their wicked intentions."
After saying that, Cheng Ying jumped out of the back window.
After Cheng Ying had prepared everything, just as she was about to return to Yue Lai Ke, she was stopped by a guard who was on patrol at night.
"Why did this officer stop me?"
“Lord Chengying, I know you. You are the personal bodyguard of Prince Heng.”
"Yes, everyone should know about this."
"I also know that Prince Xiao is the son of Prince Heng, and that Prince Xiao will be beheaded and his head displayed in public in three days."
"Leaving aside whether the evidence your emperor presented is genuine, I didn't know that the people of your Yue Kingdom were so foolish as to leave behind evidence after committing adultery and tell others?"
Cheng Ying's words did not elicit any reaction from the guard.
"My name is Lu Zhao, and I am Lord Gu, or in other words, Gu Yi'an, the current Imperial Bodyguard, who protects the safety of the palace."
"Lu Zhao, right? If you have nothing else to do, I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Lord Chengying, please don't worry. No one will come here. I've already looked around several times before I came."
"What do you want from me?"
Lu Zhao immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Lord Cheng Ying, please save Prince Xiao."
"Save Prince Xiao? Aren't you Gu Yi'an's subordinate?"
Cheng Ying frowned, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
If the person in front of him had ulterior motives, he would kill him immediately.
“I was a subordinate of Lord Gu and also a guard of Prince Xiao. When I couldn’t even get food, it was Prince Xiao who gave me the opportunity to join the army.”
"Then why did you later follow Gu Yi'an?"
“It was Prince Xiao who sent me there, saying that I could have a better future in the palace. Even though I was unwilling at the time, I had no choice but to obey Prince Xiao’s words, so I went to the palace to become a royal guard.”
"Now that you're already a royal bodyguard, why are you coming to me? Don't you want such a promising future?"
He glanced at the other person sideways, a mocking smile playing on his lips, clearly skeptical of their words.
"I...I want to help Prince Xiao. I don't want Prince Xiao to be beheaded and displayed to the public. Now, only Prince Heng can save Prince Xiao."
Cheng Ying frowned, her eyes filled with doubt, clearly questioning the other party's credibility.
Give me a reason.
"I... Prince Xiao gave me a chance to live. To me, Prince Xiao is like my second parents. Please, Lord Chengying, believe me."
"I'll ask you one last question: if you are a royal bodyguard, why are you here?"
"I volunteered to come to Prince Xiao's residence to guard him. Today is my day off, so I'm waiting for you here."
What if I don't show up?
"If Prince Xiao is indeed the son of Prince Heng, you will surely appear."
Although Cheng Ying remained skeptical of Lu Zhao's words, she could see a strange look in his eyes every time Yue Zhixiao was mentioned.
Although Cheng Ying didn't know what that meant, the unusually firm expression made him feel that Lu Zhao's feelings for Yue Zhixiao were genuine.
"Then I will believe you this once. If you intend to deceive me, the way you die at my hands will be no less than that of your regent."
Cheng Ying intended to scare Lu Zhao, but he was disappointed; he didn't see a trace of fear in Lu Zhao's eyes.
There was even some joy and satisfaction...
"Please rest assured, Lord Chengying, I will never betray Prince Xiao. Thank you, Lord Chengying, for giving me this opportunity."
"Can you get in touch with Prince Xiao and Liu Xuening?"
Hearing that Cheng Ying already trusted him somewhat, he nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, I will deliver food to them every day."
Cheng Ying took out two 'shadows' and two maps from his pocket and handed them to Lu Zhao.
"Deliver these two documents to Prince Xiao and Liu Xuening respectively. Remember not to let anyone else find out. Once they do, no one will be able to save Prince Xiao."
Lu Zhao took the thing Cheng Ying handed him and instantly felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"I understand. Please rest assured, Lord Chengying, I will definitely deliver these things to Prince Xiao intact."
"After you've finished your business, at this same time tomorrow, in the same place, throw a tinderbox."
"Okay, I've got it."
After Cheng Ying finished explaining the situation, she disappeared into the night, while Lu Zhao returned to the Prince Xiao's residence.
Cheng Ying saw that there were still a few people watching in front of Yue Lai Ke, but the people were different.
"Hmph!" Cheng Ying snorted coldly, "These unruly people are really persistent."
Cheng Ying then jumped up through the back window and returned to the room.
"Cheng Ying, how are things going?"
"Your Highness, arrangements have been made for your return to the capital. However, on my way back, I encountered a man named Lu Zhao, who is now a guard at the Prince Xiao's residence."
"My subordinate handed over the 'shadow' and the map to him."
Yan Shaoheng has always trusted Cheng Ying to do things right, and Cheng Ying has never made a mistake over the years.
"Trustworthy?"
"I believe that Lu Zhao is indeed very loyal to Prince Xiao, and can be trusted."
"Since you think you can trust him, then wait for his news."
"Yes, Master."
"I saw you come in through the back window. Are there still lowly commoners at the gate?"
Cheng Ying nodded.
"Yue Xiyuan is really a dog. If only he were an obedient dog, but unfortunately he's a disobedient one."
