Liu Ruyan bowed in gratitude once again.
Soon after, the five of them sat at the same table and began to discuss the pros and cons of this matter.
”Ruyan requested the assistance of the imperial physician and informed the entire palace that I have smallpox. I cannot see anyone, thus I had the chance to slip out. However, I can't hide too much from you, not to mention the fact that I'm beside you … and bring a Fifteenth Princess. ” Liu Ruyan told the three wives about how she sneaked out of the palace with Fifteenth Princess.
Princess Anyang thought about it carefully, and felt that something was amiss.
The palace was heavily guarded and had many eyes and ears. Liu Ruyan's Qiao family became a eunuch and took the Zichen Palace's identity token out. It was impossible for the people who had always been paying attention to the Zichen Palace in the palace to not have any news about it.
It was just that until now, the entire palace was still and quiet, perhaps there was someone who helped Liu Ruyan suppress the news.
However, there was no time to think about it too carefully right now, so he decided to think about the matter of finding the General Liu.
”You absolutely must not bring the Fifteenth Princess with you. You will not be able to protect yourself at this time, and if anything were to happen to the Fifteenth Princess, then the entire clan will be annihilated. No matter how much the Emperor pampers you, he wouldn't be able to tolerate you.” Mrs. Liu was very worried when she thought about how small Fifteenth Princess looked like last night.
Liu Ruyan said helplessly: ”Mother, I had originally decided to come out by myself, but who knew that Fifteenth Princess was such a clever little ghost. She couldn't leave me at this moment, so she followed me quietly and came out.
If I send her back, it will definitely attract attention. That's why I brought her out. If I leave now, it's hard to say if Fifteenth Princess will continue to follow me … ”
Mrs. Liu sighed and shook her head.
”You can try to persuade her. Fifteenth Princess was obedient and listened to you.” Princess Anyang watched Fifteenth Princess grow up, so she was not very worried.
”After returning to the residence, I will ask the Patriarch to arrange some people to go with you to the capital to search for the General Liu. At the same time, I will arrange all the different levels so that Fang Yi can act.”
Liu Ruyan's finger moved back and forth a few times, thinking, she nodded her head and acknowledged the words of Madam Zai Cheng.
After a long discussion, night gradually fell. The maids of the three wives were outside asking their masters if they were going to return home.
The three wives stood up and bowed towards Liu Ruyan.
”Thank you for being willing to take the risk and extend your help, Ruyan is extremely grateful. If something unexpected happens in the future, Ruyan will definitely hold all of the Emperor's crimes accountable for them, and won't implicate Madam's family. ”
”What are you saying, Fang Yi? If we were worried about being implicated, we wouldn't have agreed. Currently, the Emperor has only sent people to search for the general. If we add people to help, it would not be a big crime in the first place. At most, the Emperor would scold us for acting rashly, but there won't be any severe punishment. ”
The Princess Anyang walked forward and took Liu Ruyan's hand with concern. ”But you, Yun Yi, must take care of your body and protect yourself when you go out on a mission. Your mother can't take care of her worries anymore.”
Liu Ruyan knew that the Princess Anyang and the Liu Family were one and the same, so she felt indescribably grateful in her heart. She could only force out a smile, ”Princess, please be at ease, Ruyan will definitely take care of yourself. Forgive Ruyan for not appearing in front of everyone, so she cannot send the three of you out. ”
After she finished speaking, she instructed Huan to send the three of them out of the manor safely.
