Chen Zhennan shrugged and explained with a smile, "Times have changed. If I said that I sent all these people to protect you, would you believe me?"
"Do you think I should trust you? I don't know myself right now, but what exactly did you come here for today?"
Chen Zhennan pointed at Song Yunming, "We're here to escape. I'll treat my friend to a meal. I have some things to take care of. I might be staying here for the next while."
Chen Zhennan was about to leave when Wu Yunyin stopped him.
"What did you say? You want to live here? Are you crazy? If Song Xuan finds out, you'll get me killed too!"

Chen Zhennan gave a heavy "hmm" and said in a deep voice, "It's because we have brothers outside. Li Yan knows that many of our brothers are in the capital, so we can't delay."
The two palace maids nodded in agreement. "We understand, General. We'll go back and make arrangements for Song Xuan right away."
"Yes, also, find out as soon as possible how Song Xuan communicates with the outside world. I need to have complete control over it."
