“Smart. After she sends out the news, we’ll pull her out.”
“Alright.” nove(l)bi(n.)com
The next day, before dawn, Zhou Ying went to the kitchen and stewed a pot of beef and braised four pork knuckles.
She also steamed a big pot of buns with dried shrimp and white radish fillings.
When she was wrapping it up, she deliberately slipped the news to the servant girl who was stoking the fire.
After Zhou Ying was done, she packed the food and called Gu Chengrui to send it over.
Then, she watched as King Rui and the others quietly left the city.
After Zhou Ying came back, she followed them with her divine sense out of curiosity. Unfortunately, she only knew that they were heading for the dock, and soon they were out of the range of her divine sense.
In the evening, news came that King Rui was seriously injured, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Xiaxiang looked at them and instinctively blocked them.
When she realized that it was them, she immediately wanted to stop, but the two of them did not give her the chance. They directly attacked her vital points. Xiaxiang finally couldn’t take it anymore and started fighting with the two of them.

Shizhu stepped forward in disbelief and said, “No way she’s actually a spy. She even helped us out back then with the assassins!”
“I think she’s real.” Niu Lirong suddenly quipped in.
At this point, she also told him about the day Xiaxiang asked for Gu Chengrui’s whereabouts.
Shizhu blamed herself after hearing this. She was the servant in charge of Zhou Ying’s safety. She did not expect such an enemy to lurk beside her, and she did not notice it.
What a neglect of her duty!
Thinking of this, she kneeled. “It’s all my fault. Please punish me, Master and Mistress..”
