Liu Ruyan slowly closed her eyes, raising her hand to rub the center of her slightly sour forehead.

She was not able to accept the events of the past few days. Coupled with the days of constant running and lack of rest, her body was becoming more and more tired.

Lian Chengming was afraid that he would already know that she was leaving the palace. From the moment she spread the news in the palace that he had smallpox, Lian Chengming had already known about it.

It was really hard on him to continue acting along like this.

Liu Ruyan laughed tiredly, taunting her.

She was a little disappointed in her heart, but she did not care, just that by doing this, Liu Ruyan did not know what to think.

"Miss, do you see any other reason behind this?" In the end, Maid Lu was still a clever man, she did not stay in the Prime Minister's Estate for all these years for nothing.

Liu Ruyan waved her hand and sighed: "Whatever, whatever the reason behind this, I really don't want to know whether or not I care or not …"

However, he still had to find Liu Yuanzhan first. After confirming Liu Yuanzhan's safety, he did not come here for nothing.

At that time, it would be clear if all of this was really planned by Lian Chengming.

I hope that Daddy is safe and sound, Liu Ruyan prayed on the inside.

The current her would definitely not let history repeat itself. Since the heavens had given her the chance to be reborn, she would definitely protect the people she loved from harm.

As for Lian Chengming …

Lian Chengming's angular face immediately appeared in his mind. Liu Ruyan could even imagine that, if Lian Chengming was not quietly sitting in front of the table with his handsome eyebrows frowning as he reviewed the memorial, or if he was just standing by the window looking at the scenery outside, he would be in deep thought.

However, the person he was thinking of …

Forget it, Liu Ruyan hurriedly shook her head, trying to stop herself from thinking about those unrelated things.

She couldn't hope for that person's love for the most heartless Emperor's family.

Maid Lu stood there and saw that Liu Ruyan's expression was strange. At first, she did not make a sound, but after Liu Ruyan calmed down, she stepped forward and said: "Miss, Zhuang Lin and Yue Shan seem to have brought back some news, after all, they have been interrogating us for a long time. Why don't we call them in to ask, we might be able to hear some useful information for you."

The two of them had been back for a while already, and the reason they did not come over to reply was because they had received Liu Ruyan's orders and were looking at the storyteller.

Only then did Liu Ruyan remember to send Zhuang Lin and Yue Yang to monitor the situation regarding the Spring Flower Hall and Anyang Mansion Ya. She quickly waved her hand and said: "Look at my memory, quickly call them in."

"Then I'll go down and take a look." The Maid Lu then bowed and left.

Once Zhuang Lin and Yue Shan left, Mr. Shu's place became empty. Although this storyteller didn't have much use for him, Liu Ruyan didn't tell them to release the person, so they had to watch out for him.

Maid Lu replaced Zhuang Lin and Su Yun, and the two quickly found Liu Ruyan.

"Has there been any news from Spring Flower Hall?" Liu Ruyan took a sip of the tea, allowing her spirit to relax, she looked at the two of them.

Zhuang Lu Sheng cupped his fists, and said: "Reporting to Miss, I have already found Hua Kui's name, without a doubt his surname is Yang, and he was indeed taken away by the General Liu that night. I have asked a few people, and the information is true."

"When General Liu left, he was also the one who brought Hua Kui along to leave the Anyang Mansion."

Liu Ruyan frowned. Even though she had known about it from a long time ago, she still felt troubled when she heard it.

Then, he looked at Lin Xiaode, who quickly bowed and replied: "This subordinate has already investigated over at Anyang Mansion Court, and obtained some unexpected rewards."

"General Liu is in the Anyang Mansion, and indeed, he is staying in the magistrate court. That magistrate is especially kind to the general, however, the general seems to have been assassinated in the magistrate court."

Liu Ruyan's hand that was holding the teacup paused, and then she raised her spirits, "What did you say?"

At first, it was just a little bit shocking. Although it was no longer a secret that Liu Yuanzhan had gone to the border to escort the King Luo, he was still slightly surprised that he was ambushed inside the Anyang Mansion.

"How do you know?" Liu Ruyan tightened her fingers, guessing if the man had already made her move. She forced herself to calm down. She couldn't let her guard down at this moment.

If that was truly the case, then it was hard to say how Liu Yuanzhan's current situation would be.

Liu Ruyan was even more worried.

Lin Xiaode hesitated for a moment, then said: "This subordinate saw Luo Li, who was still in the mansion, General Liu's deputy general."

"When your subordinate snuck into the yamen, I coincidentally bumped into Vice General Luo. It seems that General Luo's injuries weren't light; it seems to be precisely because of this that he remained in the yamen to recuperate."

"Your subordinate has already talked to Vice General Luo. That's also why I know some things about the general."

Luo Li!

Liu Ruyan stood up abruptly and held her hands tightly inside her sleeves.

"Did you tell Luo Li about me leaving the capital, or did you mention me in your words?" Liu Ruyan was very nervous.

This Luo Li, she had actually forgotten about this person, this spy who had always been by his father's side!

How could she forget, this Luo Li was a great helper to Lu Mingyu at that time.

Back then when his General's Mansion were surrounded, Lu Mingyu had been the one to pick on him. Luo Li was right by Lu Mingyu's side, and he was the first one to make a move.

In the past, Luo Li did not show any mercy to people of General's Mansion. He was like a Yama from the Underworld, slaughtering someone from the General's Mansion, how could he still be a loyal and considerate deputy general who seemed to be by his father's side!

Of course Liu Ruyan was nervous, such a person was terrifying!

Lin Xiaode was stunned for a moment at first, but was immediately frightened by Liu Ruyan's astounded tone. Her right foot pushed back for a while, and then she hurriedly cupped her fists and said: "Don't worry miss, this subordinate knows the importance of the matter, and never revealed a single word about it to Vice General Luo."

Liu Ruyan heaved a sigh of relief, staggered a few steps back and fell on the chair.

Zhuang Lu Sheng and Lin Xiaode looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. He thought that Liu Ruyan was worried that the matter of him leaving the capital on her own would be exposed, "Lady …"

Just as the two of them were about to ask something, Liu Ruyan raised her hand and shook her head: "I'm fine."

But after a while, Liu Ruyan suddenly thought of something.

Lin Xiaode and Zhuang Luusheng had just been recalled back because of that storyteller. In other words, the news that Lin Xiaode had just received from the Residence of Ye was not long ago.

If Luo Li was still Lu Mingyu's hidden ace in the hole, then Liu Ruyan would be in grave danger right now. When Lin Xiaode returned, he must have exposed her whereabouts!
