"I want to go see him!" She couldn't remain calm anymore, so she threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

Lu Shian quickly stopped her and scolded her with a dark face: “Don’t go, if you dare to go, I will take back what I said just now.”

Lu Yanluo was anxious, clenching her fists and retorting frantically, "Brother, please pay attention to your status. It is said that a king never jokes. How can you control your words so freely? How can you convince others like this?"

Lu Shian was speechless because of her. After a while, he said shamelessly: "How dare you talk to me like this?"

Lu Yanluo was so angry that her stomach was about to explode. She took a long breath, her eyes wide open and her cheeks puffed up, just like a little puffer fish.

Seeing that Lu Yanluo was fine, Xia Younan was relieved. He raised a bright smile and asked Lu Shian, "Your Majesty, I heard that you want to exile Su Yu to the border. What are you going to do? How many people are you going to take? Which way are you going?"

"..." Lu Shian was extremely speechless, "If you want to snatch someone away halfway, just say it directly, why waste so much time talking?"

"Ahem!" Xia Younan almost choked on his own saliva and quickly denied it with a red face, "How could it be possible? Nonsense, I am a law-abiding citizen, how could I do such a thing?"

Damn, was what she said so obvious?

Lu Shian rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with her, and said to Lu Yanluo vaguely: "Yanluo, what my brother just said to you is the biggest concession.

"But I must remind you that if Su Yu makes any mistakes during his service, such as being robbed, my brother will immediately revoke his order and hunt him down to the ends of the earth!"

Lu Yanluo took a deep breath and shook her head like a rattle.

Lu Shian gave her a look that told her to take care of herself, then stood up and took Ye Shiqing away.

Xia Younan watched them leave and was about to tell Lu Yanluo about the kidnapping, but Lu Yanluo spoke before her.

"Sister-in-law! Don't rob people!"

--------

After seeing Xia Younan off, Lu Yanluo tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Her eyes rolled around as she quietly made a package plan in her mind.

After making a plan, she went to find Lu Shian despite her illness and cried to him, saying that she was worried about Su Yu's bumpy journey, so she wanted to stay in seclusion in the room, copy scriptures and pray for Su Yu, and not allow anyone to disturb him.

As long as she could behave herself, Lu Shian didn't say much. He readily agreed to her request and promised not to disturb her unless it was important.

After the most important trouble was solved, Lu Yanluo contacted her group of extremely loyal servants and explained the tasks to them with great enthusiasm until everything was ready.

Before dawn, everything was quiet and the sky was exceptionally dark. In the dark blue sky, a morning star was exceptionally dazzling.

Lu Yanluo changed into the uniform of an officer and soldier and stared at the door, as if waiting for something.

Finally, the door creaked open as she looked expectantly, and a little eunuch stealthily poked his head in.

Lu Yanluo stood up like a frightened rabbit, slung the prepared bag over her shoulder, and trotted to the door impatiently.

"Is everything arranged?" She lowered her voice to the lowest level, fearing that others might hear her.

The eunuch nodded and whispered, "Everything has been arranged. It just so happened that one of the soldiers escorting Su Yu happened to be my cousin.

"The job of escorting prisoners is hard, and the old soldiers are unwilling to do it. It just so happened that my cousin had just arrived, and he was assigned this hard job before he had a chance to report."

Lu Yanluo was extremely surprised and asked excitedly: "So, your cousin hasn't reported yet, and the other officers and soldiers haven't seen him yet, right?"

The young eunuch nodded his head, "Yes, this is a golden opportunity. My cousin is greedy and loves wine. I gave him some money and two jars of the best wine in the palace. I convinced him without much effort.

"Then Princess, you can impersonate him and escort your lover. It will be foolproof."

"That's great!" Lu Yanluo was so happy that she almost jumped up.

This was truly God's will. She really couldn't bear to leave Su Yu, so she tried to think of a way to go to the border with him. She didn't expect that there would be such a coincidental opportunity for her to carry out her plan.

The young eunuch picked up a piece of cloth to cover her face and handed it to her, saying, "Princess, to avoid being recognized by others, you should cover your face and say that your face is burnt and disfigured and you cannot see anyone."

"Okay, okay." Lu Yanluo agreed hurriedly, took the face mask and tied it around her face skillfully.

"Okay, let's go."

The young eunuch agreed to lead her towards the palace gate, muttering to her worriedly as they walked, "Princess, please remember, my cousin is called Wang Xu, from Wangjiazhuang outside the city, he is eighteen years old, and his family has..."

He said as Lu Yanluo listened, taking in every word he said.

The two walked quickly for a while and finally saw the majestic palace gate in the distance.

Even in the dim morning light, the numerous guards did not relax at all. They were on high alert as if facing a powerful enemy, making it seem as if even a fly would not be able to fly past them.

Fortunately, Lu Yanluo and the others had made sufficient preparations. The young eunuch was in charge of purchasing outside the palace. He passed by here every day and was already familiar with the guards. The guards were not wary of him.

In addition, the foreman guarding the gate today was the young eunuch's cousin, so the back door opened with a loud bang.

It was smooth to pass through the palace gate. Lu Yanluo looked back at the palace gate which had turned into a dot and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was a close call. I can't believe I left the palace like this. Xiao Ye, you helped me so much. How can I thank you?"

That’s great. She was usually bored in the palace, so she often hung out with the servants, treating them as friends and eating, drinking and having fun with them.

Over time, he gained a large number of loyal servants.

If it weren't for these friends this time, she would really be at a loss.

Xiao Ye smiled at her and said gratefully, "What are you thanking me for? The princess has always taken good care of us servants and never treated us as servants. She has always given us favors, big or small, and we all remember it in our hearts.

"Now that we finally have the chance to repay the princess, we will naturally go through fire and water without hesitation."

Lu Yanluo was so moved that she patted his shoulder heavily, "I'll take note of your kindness! Don't worry, I left a letter in the room, which clearly stated that I forced you to do these things.

"If the truth ever comes to light, my brother will not blame you."

"We believe, we are not afraid." Little Leaf still smiled warmly.

As the sun rose, the two of them rushed all the way and finally arrived outside the Ministry of Justice.

Outside the Ministry of Justice, the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners were ready to go. There were about twenty of them, all wearing armor and holding weapons, looking serious and majestic.

In front of them stood Su Yu with an expressionless face.

The boy was still wearing the yellow prison uniform, tattered straw sandals, and cold iron chains on his hands.

A strand of hair hung down from his forehead, swaying gently in the breeze, weakly brushing against his dry and pale lips, adding a sense of desolation and loneliness to him.
