"I don't know, I can't explain it clearly." Luo Shenyuan murmured, his sharp eyes looking further ahead, "There are so many forces related to the Third Prince. If we really know that it is him, it will be very troublesome." However, there are not many people who are so brave.
At this time, Luo Shenyuan's servant had already brought a cloak and helped him put it on. Luo Shenyuan sighed and said to Luo Yining, "Take Bao Ge'er to bed early tonight."
Luo Yining still saw him leave Jiashu Hall, surrounded by guards. This pillar of the Luo family walked calmly, yet at such a young age he was burdened with a heavy honor that should not have been his responsibility. Fortunately, he was extremely intelligent and had outstanding means, otherwise, how could an ordinary person withstand it?
Seeing him leave, Daoyan said calmly, "Tomorrow, the ladies of high rank will enter the palace to express their gratitude. Your imperial edict has just been issued, and Luo Shenyuan is holding it back. You should know why he won't let you enter the palace, right?"
Luo Yining glanced at him. What did he want to say?

She called a servant over, made tea, and sat with Daoyan in the hall. Daoyan sat cross-legged, not wearing any underwear to avoid conspicuousness. His bald head looked strange. Yet, his every move still gave him a sense of transcendence, not unlike a military commander. His aura was remarkably... compassionate.
"Just now, when I mentioned the relationship between Lu Jiaxue and you, Junior Brother got so angry. I'm sure he wouldn't agree with my plan. So I didn't say anything."
Luo Yining saw the thin smoke rising from the charcoal brazier, and she looked directly at the monk in front of her.
"The Empress was naturally one of the masterminds behind the theft of the deposed edict. Although we have people inside the Empress's palace, tomorrow's palace banquet requires the presence of ladies of honor, so I can do nothing about it."
Luo Yining stood up and poured Daoyan some tea. "Master, you want me to go to the palace to express my gratitude, right?" She smiled. "Taking a risk, staying by the Queen's side and monitoring her movements, right?"
If the queen finds out, she will be the first to be arrested, and her fate is self-evident.
Daoyan gently placed the Buddhist beads on the table. He smiled uncharacteristically: "Then do you dare to go?"
Luo Yining sat back down. It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but if she was kidnapped and used as a threat, it would be more trouble than it would be worth.
"I won't scare you anymore," Daoyan sighed. "Don't worry. If there's any disturbance in the Empress's palace, I can rescue you... Even if I'm indifferent to you, as you think, I still have to think about my unfortunate junior brother." If anything were to happen to Luo Yining, Daoyan had no doubt Luo Shenyuan would do something horrific. His junior brother, haunted by childhood trauma, was incredibly paranoid. Back then, he'd refused to follow his master into Buddhism. If only he had washed away his vicious and sinister nature, there wouldn't be such a problem now.
Luo Yining leaned back slightly and said calmly, "I can go."
