Jiang Lianzhi's hands hidden under his sleeves trembled slightly, unable to control the ecstasy in his heart.
He had been looking for her for so long, almost to the point of despair, that she would appear in front of him in such a way.
His Adam's apple rolled up and he said in a harsh voice: "We know you."
Shen Yu clenched the dagger in her hand, and her other hand on the ground began to accumulate strength.
If you can take any one of them hostage, you should be able to escape.
But that was the last resort. Once the hostages were taken, she could not stay in the palace any longer, otherwise it would drag down Xie Tingzhou.
Thinking of this, she felt a trace of reluctance in her heart.
Li Zhaonian looked surprised. This was the first time he saw Jiang Lianzhi lose his composure.
"How did you meet?"
Shen Yu stared at Jiang Lianzhou.
Jiang Lianzhi calmed down and said slowly: "I wonder if Your Highness will remember my mentor."
Li Zhaonian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Lin Shao was convicted of corruption. I once heard that you and his daughter were childhood sweethearts."
Jiang Lianzhi hurriedly looked at Shen Yu's face, fearing that he would see a hint of displeasure on her face.
But after seeing her expressionless face, I felt faintly disappointed.
"Although my mentor has been executed, once he is a teacher, he is always a father. My mentor's daughter and I are not childhood sweethearts."
Li Zhaonian said: "What does that have to do with the person in front of me?"
Jiang Lianzhi said: "She is a distant relative. Her family was implicated when the teacher was convicted, and she entered the palace for unknown reasons."
Li Zhaonian thoughtfully said, "A group of people came into the palace the year before last. I guess they came in at that time, right?"
Shen Yu had dug up all the ancestral graves of Jiang Lian's family in her heart.
He was really good at lying, and his lies actually brought blame on the Lin family. Lin Qingli pushed her into the water in her previous life. If he hadn't mentioned it, she would have been so busy that she almost forgot about Lin Qingli.
But since he mentioned it, when she has time, she must take good care of Lin Qingli, so as not to make her life too comfortable.
Shen Yu: "Go back to Your Highness, that's right."
Li Zhaonian nodded, "Stop kneeling, get up."
Then he said to Jiang Lianzhi: "Brother Huang was frightened last night, so we should go to the East Palace to visit him first."
Jiang Lianzhi was silent, glanced at Shen Yu, then picked up his robe and knelt down.
Li Zhaonian was shocked, and when he looked at Shen Yu, he understood, "But for this palace maid?"
Jiang Lianzhi said: "Now that I have seen it, I can't just stand by and hope that His Highness will fulfill it."
Fulfill your grandpa!
Shen Yu had already cordially greeted Guo Jiang Lianzhi's eighteenth generation ancestors. If he hadn't interfered, she would have been able to leave the palace smoothly on the pretext of purchasing with the palace maid.
Do you need to worry about this leisurely thing?
It's just for a palace maid, for Li Zhaonian it's just a matter of opening his mouth.
"Lianzhi gets up first." Li Zhaonian helped him up personally and said: "It is not difficult to be a palace maid, but the assassin appeared last night. The assassin has not been found yet, so it is better to wait for two days..."
Seeing Jiang Lian's face solemn, he said, "That's all, the assassin can't be her. You take her away. If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it."
Jiang Lianzhi stood up, clasped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your support."
He knew that Shen Yu would be in more danger if she stayed in the palace for a moment longer, but he still had to go to the East Palace first.
Just as he was thinking about how to arrange it, he saw a small yellow gate running towards him along the palace alley.
"Your Highness the West, Mr. Jiang." Xiao Huangmen saluted and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that the two of you were coming and asked the servant to convey that the East Palace is welcoming guests. For fear that there will be too many people, the reception will not be adequate. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will host a banquet in person later."
"Someone is faster than us." Li Zhaonian smiled, "It doesn't matter, we can come back another day."
Jiang Lianzhi took advantage of the situation and said, "In that case, we will come back to visit His Royal Highness another day."
Li Zhaonian glanced at Shen Yu, smiled knowingly, and said to Jiang Lianzhi, "It's rare to see you so anxious."
Jiang Lianzhi was stunned, "Your Highness is joking."
"You are thin-skinned, so I won't make fun of you." Li Zhaonian said, "You can take people away."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave." Jiang Lianzhi walked up to Shen Yu and whispered, "Follow me."
Shen Yu followed him silently, thinking that it would be the same if she knocked him out after leaving the palace.
Someone suddenly tugged on my sleeve, and the palace maid who was doing the shopping followed me and asked in a low voice: "Then, why don't you go out to buy with us?"
Of course Shen Yu knew what she meant. She pretended to drug them when they held her hostage. She was worried that there was no antidote.
She thrust a note into the palace maid's hand.
We were going to Dali Temple last night. Who would have thought that carrying a deadly poison was just to scare her. Otherwise, how could he take her out of the palace obediently? There were only two words on the note, telling the palace maid that it was not poisonous.
The palace walls are towering and the palace lanes are deep.
Shen Yu followed Jiang Lianzhi, and the voices of Xiao Huangmen talking to Li Zhaonian came along the palace alley.
"Which distinguished guest is your brother receiving today?"
"It's His Royal Highness Beilin Crown Prince."
Shen Yu's steps suddenly stopped.
Sensing something strange, Jiang Lianzhi turned around, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Shen Yu lowered her eyes.
The palace gate has three levels, and you can take a carriage outside the forbidden palace, but there are two gates for inspection along the way.
Shen Yu sat near the car's shaft, lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
Today's duty has doubled, and the interrogation has become much stricter. Jiang Lianzhi just took her out because of the reward from His Highness the West.
Jiang Lianzhi looked at her profile and asked in a low voice, "Are you the assassin in the palace?"
Shen Yu was still looking out the window, "Why can't I understand what Mr. Jiang said? I am the maid of the East Palace. Didn't you also see it?"
Jiang Lianzhi pursed his lips, "They say you're dead. What's going on?"
"It seems that Mr. Jiang is also looking forward to my death." Shen Yu turned around and said.
Jiang Lianzhi's expression changed and she smiled lightly, "Just kidding, then you have to ask my good sister. I'm also curious about why I died inexplicably."
In an instant, Jiang Lianzhi figured out the key. He pondered for a moment and said, "What are your plans now? I can explain to Your Majesty the misunderstanding and return your identity."
"That's not necessary." Shen Yu refused: "I have my own plans for my own affairs, so I won't bother Mr. Jiang to worry about it."
"What are your plans!" Jiang Linzhi scolded: "Are you putting yourself in danger like today?"
Shen Yu said: "Then in what capacity do you question me?"
Jiang Lianzhi was stunned for a moment and said, "I saved you."
Shen Yu snorted coldly, "How do you know you didn't ruin my plan?"
Jiang Lianzhi was silent for a moment, "Auntie..."
"Sir." Shen Yu interrupted him, "I don't know where those rumors in the capital come from, and I don't know where your deep love comes from. In short, you and I have very little contact. We left the palace today, and you and I will return home." It’s the way back across the bridge, it’s better not to come and go in the future.”
