The person who was captured was dressed in all black, with a black mask covering his face, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The man in black never expected to be captured, especially by someone from the Great Chu.
How did you find me?
Hearing this voice surprised Su Ruojin.
The reason was simple: the other person was a woman, and her voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Huanzhi couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how did you discover there was someone there?"
Huanzhi also noticed that if the princess hadn't spoken up to remind him, the prince wouldn't have noticed that there was someone there.
Su Ruojin didn't answer, but said to Xiao Yanchu, "Pull down her mask."
The woman in black was startled and tried to fight back, but she was no match for Xiao Yanchu.
Her mask was removed in no time.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this person.
I never expected it to be her!
"Yu Nianji, are you spying on us, or are you trying to save us?" Su Ruojin asked.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Kaoru Matsushima stopped struggling and gritted her teeth, saying, "I will keep an eye on you, of course."
Su Ruojin smiled lightly, "They've been monitoring us, and the guards outside have all been taken down. Why don't you hurry up and inform the general and the elders to claim credit? What are you doing hiding here?"
Matsushima Kaoru retorted, "I'm all alone. If I come out, I'll expose myself."
Izumi Masako stepped forward and whispered to Su Ruojin, "She is one of the big boss's confidantes; she must be here to monitor us."
Su Ruojin glanced at Izumi Masako.
This Odai-sho (official in charge of imperial residence) is somewhat cunning, but not much so. If the shogunate hadn't needed a woman from a noble family to serve as Odai-sho, Izumi Masako would probably have died long ago.
“Yu Nianji, it was you who drugged the guards in the courtyard.” Su Ruojin’s statement was a statement, not a question.
Everyone was stunned by these words.
What's going on?
In the shogunate, everyone knew that Matsushima Kaoru Mitoshi was highly regarded by the shogun and looked down on the Odai-sho. She would not give the Odai-sho any face and even secretly instructed people to make things difficult for her by reducing her food, clothing and other necessities.
However, since the shogunate where Odai was located had little status and Otoshi-yori was a favorite of the elder statesman, everyone turned a blind eye and no one questioned the matter.
Now Su Ruojin is saying that the guards in the courtyard were drugged and knocked unconscious by Yu Nianji?
Why would she do that?
She wants to save the Imperial Palace?
This doesn't make any sense at all.
A hint of panic flashed in Matsushima Kaoru's eyes. "It wasn't me. I... I also came to check because I noticed something was wrong here. I advise you to release me immediately, or if I tell the boss, none of you will escape."
Upon hearing this, Masako Izumi also sensed something was wrong.
Matsushima Kaoru said, "Otherwise, wait until I tell the boss, none of you will be able to escape," rather than "You can forget about escaping."
She was basically implying that they should leave quickly.
Is Matsushima Kaoru really here to save them?
Then she is...
Thinking of this, Izumi Masako looked at Matsushima Kaoru in disbelief.
No, that's impossible!
Over the years, I've suffered a lot of mistreatment from her.
If that were truly the case, how could it be...?
Masako Izumi couldn't believe her suspicions.
"Oh~, in that case, we won't make things difficult for Yu Nianji. Yan Chu, let her go, and we won't leave either."
Xiao Yanchu cooperated and immediately released Matsushima Kaoru.
Kaoru Matsushima froze, not understanding what was happening, her voice filled with disbelief.
