Yan Jiu didn't hide the fact that she only saved Cherry.
Zhang Hui easily found the inn where Cherry was staying.
"cherry!"
Zhang Hui's appearance startled Yingtao.
She knew no martial arts and was no match for Zhang Hui, so she was very nervous. "Brother Zhang Hui, you've arrived."
"How is Your Highness?"
“Hmm,” Zhang Hui nodded and sat down at the table.
The small inn was clean and tidy.
And Cherry, in just a few days, is completely different.
"It seems Lord Yan treats you very well."
Zhang Hui concluded, "In that case, Your Majesty can rest assured."
"I..."
Cherry's face turned pale instantly. Yes, someone like the Third Princess, who puts profit above all else, would never have designs on her.
Instead, he was concerned about whether she had gotten involved with Yan Jiuzhi and whether anything had happened between them.
In just a few days, Yan Jiu was extremely polite to her.
Like coaxing a child, "If you're afraid of being captured, don't go out yet. I've paid for the food at this shop, and the waiter will bring it to your room."
"You'll be free once those guys are caught."
Yan Jiu would come over every day to check on her, but he wouldn't go inside. He just wanted to make sure she was still there and alive.
Sometimes I'd bring her a fresh fried dough stick, and sometimes two hot steamed buns.
For her, this was the most selfless love in the world.
She waited there obediently.
Yan Jiu will eventually find out that she is the Third Princess's person. When the truth comes out, he will probably despise her for deceiving him.
I just hope that day comes later.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Hui who came looking for them first.
If she hadn't spent these past few days with Yan Jiuzhi, she thought she would have remained the Third Princess's dog until she was abandoned and killed.
But she had experienced that kind of warmth.
She didn't want to continue like this.
Perhaps only death can bring relief.
With an idea in mind, Cherry relaxed and sat down. "Brother Zhang Hui, have some tea."
"The tea here is not as good as the tea from the princess's place."
“Brother Zhang Hui, I actually think you’re a good person. I know about your relationship with Sister Ai Cao.”
Zhang Hui paused in his tea-serving hand. "It's all in the past. The Second Prince... can't go back either."
"Well, if I return to Yue, could Brother Zhang Hui pass on a message to my family?"
Zhang Hui didn't reply, but frowned. "Why didn't you deliver the message yourself?"
"I..."
Cherry thought for a moment, then decided to go all out. Since she was going to die anyway, she recounted everything Xiao Yuanshuang had asked her to do and her own fate.
Aside from the fact that she likes Yan Jiuzhi, she has said everything she could.
He gave a final, bitter laugh, "Brother Zhang Hui, I won't survive."
Zhang Hui was stunned for a while, and just as he was about to speak, the door suddenly opened.
Cherry went over and opened the door; Yan Jiu was standing outside...
Inside the palace.
Xiao Yuanshuang was extremely impatient and smashed several teacups in a row.
She always felt uneasy, "Cherry!"
No one answered for a long time.
Only then did he realize that Cherry wasn't there; Zhang Hui had gone to look for her.
But it's already dark, why haven't they come back yet?
Murong Yue had just finished dinner and was snacking on something.
The Imperial Kitchen has developed a new type of jade-white cake.
(Mang~Mang~Mang) It's delicious.
Kneeling before her were two people, Zhang Hui and Yingtao.
Qi Yuan, Li Xuanji, and Murong Anle stood to the side, along with Yan Jiuzhi, who was entering the Taihe Hall for the first time.
"You don't want Xiao Yuanshuang anymore?"
Murong Yue asked very bluntly, and although Cherry and Zhang Hui felt that betraying their master was shameful.
But they had no choice.
Yan Jiu caught him red-handed.
Of course, this is only what is said on the surface. The truth is that from the moment they were arrested, the two of them had the same thought at the same time.
Perhaps this is a good opportunity to get rid of the Third Princess.
So the two of them knelt down together, confessed everything to Yan Jiu, and begged for help.
Yan Jiu was almost scared to death.
I knew the capital was a dangerous place, but I didn't expect it to be this chaotic.
Upon hearing Murong Yue's question, Cherry kowtowed again, "Please, Your Majesty, save us."
“This servant…has a map of the city defenses of the Yue Kingdom.”
ah?
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Hui also kowtowed and revealed his trump card, "This servant knows many private matters of the Yue royal family."
ah!
Everyone was stunned again.
Even the usually composed Li Xuanji stammered for a moment.
"A map of Yue's city defenses?"
How did you get it?
He stared intently at the cherry.
Cherry replied very respectfully, "The night the Third Princess sent me to find Lord Pi, that's what I got."
Everyone understood, except for Murong Yue.
Cherries were taken secretly while Master Pi was asleep.
This information is sometimes classified, but sometimes it's useless. A country's military deployment is normally changed every now and then.
This city defense map, Lord Pi, mainly shows the troop deployment on the border between the Yue Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom.
It was mainly prepared for this diplomatic mission.
Cherry took the city defense map based on the principle that the more leverage she had, the safer she would be.
However, Xiao Yuanshuang did not order her to do so; she simply took the city defense map and kept it on her person.
Unexpectedly, it has now become my lifeline.
She pulled a small purse from her neck.
She blushed and glanced at Yan Jiuzhi.
Yan Jiu was completely bewildered by the stares.
This purse was the one that Yan Jiuzhi picked up when she first met Yan Jiuzhi.
