Su Ruojin also pulled off the black cloth covering her face, her eyes slightly red.
She had been searching for so long that she even wondered if Yuan Hong had really gotten into trouble, but she wouldn't allow herself to think that way. She would never give up until the very last moment.
"Sister Jin!" Yuan Hong rushed forward without regard for anything else, trying to hug Su Ruojin, but ended up bumping into a strong man's arms.
Xiao Yanchu smiled and looked down at Yuan Hong, "Yuan Hong, I'm here for you too."
Yuan Hong's nose hurt a little from the bump. He rubbed it and stood up straight from Xiao Yanchu's embrace. "Brother-in-law."
Su Ruojin was both amused and annoyed. How could she not see through Xiao Yanchu's little scheme? He was so petty.
"Yuan Hong, what exactly happened?" Su Ruojin asked hurriedly.
"That day..." Yuan Hong had just started to speak when a group of people rushed out of the passageway and surrounded the three of them.
Xiao Yanchu and Yuan Hong immediately drew their swords and faced each other.
“Young Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, you have betrayed my trust.” Lu Junyuan followed closely behind, his eyes icy cold.
He had just convinced his father to let Madam Jiang give it a try, and was preparing to invite her over first thing tomorrow morning, but he never expected that they would dare to break into the Prime Minister's residence at night.
"Who sent you? If you tell the truth, I might consider leaving you with a whole corpse," Lu Junyuan said.
"Lu Junyuan, you kidnapped my brother and brought him to Xiaoyue. I'm going to settle this score with you." Su Ruojin stared intently at Lu Junyuan, her hand touching the medicine bottle in her sleeve.
"Your brother..." Lu Junyuan was about to ask something more when he suddenly narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming even more sinister, "Are you the Regent's Consort of the Great Chu?"
Since Madam Jiang is the Regent's Consort, then...
Lu Junyuan looked at Xiao Yanchu and suddenly understood.
Indeed, from the first moment he saw the Jiang couple, he felt that their temperament was different from others, but he was so preoccupied with Dap's illness that he didn't think much of it.
Furthermore, with Steward Qiu mentioning that he had seen Madam Jiang in Yanyang, Lu Junyuan never imagined that a female doctor from Yanyang would be the Regent's Consort.
Having figured all this out, Lu Junyuan suddenly burst into laughter, "I had no idea that the Regent of Great Chu and his consort would grace us with their presence. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly."
"Lu Junyuan, why did you kidnap Yuan Hong and Dapu?" Su Ruojin had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him. With Lu Junyuan's limited manpower, he couldn't possibly hold them back.
“Madam Jiang, oh no, Regent’s Consort, I have my reasons, which I cannot disclose. However, I did not harm Yuan Hong. Even if you hadn’t come, I would have sent him back to the Great Chu sooner or later.”
This was indeed Lu Junyuan's plan. Once he was certain that Dapu was the person he was looking for, Yuan Hong would no longer need to stay in Xiaoyue Kingdom. He would then have someone send him back.
"How can I trust you?" Su Ruojin asked.
Lu Junyuan's attitude towards Yuan Hong will determine how Su Ruojin will treat him.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuan Hong. Have I ever mistreated him in the slightest during this time?"
Su Ruojin looked at Yuan Hong and indeed saw no signs of injury on him.
Yuan Hong also said, "Sister Jin, he really didn't hurt me or Dapu. After Dapu fell into a coma, he found many doctors to treat Dapu."
"Your Highness, Your Highness's Regent, why don't we go inside and talk?"
At this moment, Lu Junyuan realized that Madam Jiang was the Regent's Consort of the Great Chu, the Princess Chang Le who was skilled in medicine. After the initial shock, he was more delighted than surprised.
Dap is saved!
Lu Junyuan waved his hand, and all the guards around him withdrew. He then led the way into Dapu's room.
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance and followed them inside. Since they had come this far, it was better to lay some things out on the table.
Especially with Dap in imminent danger, Su Ruojin couldn't possibly abandon him.
