C70 (1/2)

Liu Ruyan answered with a muffled voice. It was very quiet, but she could not hear it clearly in the deep night.

When his voice fell into the ears of the Maid Lu, the Maid Lu sighed and comforted Liu Ruyan: ”The Empress's thoughts are clear to me, but please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this matter cannot be rushed, the General Liu has its own good friends and good friends, so there are many soldiers and horses on this trip, maybe I will just temporarily lose contact with the capital, and after the Feng City, I will know.”

”Empress, you should relax and focus on investigating the General Liu.”

”The night is dark, Empress can sleep in peace.”

The Maid Lu made a simple mattress on the floor and laid on it. Liu Ruyan wanted to sleep on the bed with the Maid Lu.

But the rules of the Prime Minister's Hall were strict, the Maid Lu said that even if they had left the Residence of Prime Minister, they could not break the rules, and could not sleep together with the Concubine Hui.

Although Liu Ruyan was helpless, she still let her go.

After all, she was someone brought out by the Princess Anyang. Since the Maid Lu had said so, she couldn't force him.

Deep into the night, Liu Ruyan was unable to sleep. It wasn't easy for him to fall asleep, but she was awoken by a loud noise.

Maid Lu was already awake and standing by the door. The door was opened halfway, but Maid Lu blocked the light coming in, so her voice could be heard.

”The Empress has woken up.” When the Maid Lu heard the sound of Liu Ruyan getting off the bed, she immediately went forward to help Liu Ruyan put on her clothes.

”I wonder what happened outside to disturb the Empress's sleep.” The Maid Lu sounded angry.

If they were in the Prime Minister's Estate right now, the Maid Lu would have erupted already. It was just that they were outside, not daring to act too rashly.

Liu Ruyan smiled, and said: ”There's no harm, since I'm already awake, let's go out and see what is so noisy about.”

Maid Lu brought water in to help Liu Ruyan wash her face and mouth, but Liu Ruyan did not refuse.

”maid, now that we are no longer in the capital, please do not say 'Empress' anymore and just call me Miss.”

This time, his identity was of the utmost importance and should not be known by others. If anyone heard of the word Empress, they would inevitably suspect Liu Ruyan's identity.

Shock appeared on Maid Lu's face as she hurriedly admitted her wrongs: ”I was too careless.”

There were already a lot of people gathered outside the door. Liu Ruyan and the others' rooms were on the second floor, which had a fence on the second floor. From where they stood, they could clearly see the situation below.

The two guards in the room next door had already walked out and were standing on both sides of the door, guarding Liu Ruyan.

He was doing his duty.

Seeing Liu Ruyan coming out, the two guards bowed and followed him to the front of the fence, as they looked at the situation below.

In the main hall of the first floor of the inn, a white-robed man was sitting at a table in the center with a fan in his hand.

It was unknown who he was, but he did not look like a simple person.

Kneeling on the ground were two attendant s, their hands and feet were tied up, their faces were full of color, they seemed to be severely injured.
