C71 (2/2)

Moments later, sounds of movement came from the entrance.

”Your Majesty, the Private Guard outside the city has come to see you.” It was the voice of the Eunuch Xu.

Lian Chengming opened his eyes and answered with a calm voice.

Not long after, the door to the secret room was opened and a Private Guard wearing night walking clothes walked over. He knelt down and saluted Lian Chengming, and replied, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, Consort Fangyi Hui'er has already safely left the capital at this time. Li Mi County, who left yesterday morning, has quickened their pace to reach the Feng City, and will arrive in a few days time.”

Private Guard was in a hurry. Even though he was kneeling down, he was still panting heavily as he spoke.

When Lian Chengming heard this, he closed his eyes and sighed without batting an eyelid for a long time.

He really didn't know if it was right or wrong to let her go. In order to be absolutely safe, he couldn't tell her his plan. But on the way, if something were to happen …

Lian Chengming had no choice, hence he sent Private Guard to follow Liu Ruyan, it was just that no one noticed.

Waving his hand, he told Private Guard to withdraw, he hoped that the plan would go smoothly.

”Miss, we have reached the Anyang Mansion. Let's rest here for a while. General Liu had stayed in the Anyang Mansion for a period of time, so we can ask around. Standing outside the Anyang Mansion City, Maid Lu led her horse and suggested.

Liu Ruyan nodded, and said: ”Alright, let's find an inn.”

After so long on the road, he was so tired that his body was about to fall apart.

Liu Ruyan moved her body a little as she watched Maid Lu talking to the shop owner inside the Fragrance Pavilion. When she turned around, she saw that the two guards were also exhausted.

In the evening, Maid Lu came out from the water. It was steaming hot and covered with a white mist.

”Miss, I'll help you wash up.” After saying that, Maid Lu was about to help Liu Ruyan take off her shoes.

Liu Ruyan immediately dodged and waved her hand: ”maid, you are too serious. Since you have already left the capital, there are not that many rules, I think it would be better for me to do it myself.”

”You must be tired after so many days of travelling. Go rest first. When tomorrow comes, you still have to go out and find out more information. You are old, so you can't overdo it.”

When she was at General's Mansion, she was not used to being closely attended to by others. Furthermore, she was outside, how could she have so many rules?

Maid Lu was someone close to Princess Anyang after all, and her qualifications were high as well. Washing her feet for her, wouldn't that be giving her a hard time …

Liu Ruyan was also worried about the Maid Lu, but seeing that Liu Ruyan was insisting, the latter did not say anything more.

However, when he thought back to what he saw just now, the Maid Lu hesitated for a moment before saying: ”Miss, just now, I was downstairs, and I seem to have met that Young Master from the Mi County …”

Liu Ruyan, who was carrying the water over, was immediately shocked. She almost lost control of the water basin in her hands.

After shaking her body for a while, Liu Ruyan raised his head and asked, ”Are you talking about that white-clothed young master who made trouble late at night to catch the thief?”

Maid Lu nodded her head. As they got closer to the border, the clothes the citizens were wearing became simpler and simpler.

At first, the Maid Lu was suspicious, but when she thought about it, she knew that the person looked familiar. When she went upstairs, he suddenly remembered that it was bad.
