Even though she was confined to her chambers and knew very little about the affairs of the court, she still knew a little about the Thousand Eagle Guard.
The Great Zhou Dynasty established three guards:
The Jinwu Guard was in charge of the defense of the capital city.
The Dragon Guard protects the peace and tranquility of the palace.
Above those two is the Thousand Eagle Guard.
The Thousand Eagle Guard is divided into two offices: the Southern Office is the Emperor's personal attendant, protecting His Majesty's safety; the Northern Office is the Emperor's eyes and ears, overseeing the previous dynasty on his behalf.
The Thousand Eagle Guards are above the Six Ministries, not subject to the supervision of any official government, and answer only to His Majesty. Even their eagle-patterned robes are second-rank bestowed garments, second only to the Crown Prince's four-clawed python robe, demonstrating their high status.
This time, Shen Cang was not imprisoned by the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice, but was taken away by the Thousand Eagle Guards.
The crimes committed by the Imperial Medical Academy concern His Majesty.
Shen Qiyin had clearly seen that the person who passed by her carriage was wearing a silver mask that gleamed with a cold light. It was Xiao Yan, the commander of the Thousand Eagle Guard and the heir of the Duke of Ningguo's mansion.

She was lost in thought and didn't pay any attention to whether Shen Ruyin had followed.

She used to stand up for me in everything, spouting all sorts of "deep sisterly affection and blood ties," but it turned out to be all lies and just a way to gain a good reputation.
Now that she's too lazy to pretend anymore, she doesn't care about herself anymore.
How hypocritical!
Rubbing his knees, Shen Ruyin grimaced and followed.
Just after they left, a man dressed in a hawk-themed outfit slowly emerged from behind a Bodhi tree not far away.
As the autumn wind rises, it rustles the golden leaves on the trees.
The dazzling sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, and the dancing light spots shone on his silver mask. The eyes beneath the mask were cold and sharp, exuding a more somber aura than the autumn day when all the flowers had faded.
It was none other than Xiao Yan, the commander of the Thousand Eagle Guard!
Deputy Envoy Feng Liu stood respectfully to his side and said, "The Shen family has also come. I wonder if it's a coincidence or intentional. Sir, shall I follow them to take a look?"
Xiao Yan did not answer.
He stared intently in the direction Shen Qiyin and her group had left, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
“The marriage of Chenxi…”
