Lu Yue looked incredulous, thinking that he had followed the prince since he was a child and had never seen the prince have any interaction with any young woman.

Moreover, after the prince left the palace and set up his own residence, there were very few maids in the palace, and almost all the people serving him were men.

Some time ago, Concubine Wei picked out a few daughters from noble families and asked the prince to take a look at them, but the prince refused.

All these incidents even made Lu Yue think that the prince didn't like women.

But now, the prince was actually holding a woman, and his behavior was very gentle. He was completely different from the prince who was usually ruthless and ruthless.

Lu Yue gradually recovered from his surprise and thought to himself that the reason why the prince had never been interested in women was because he had never met the one he really liked.

Now there is a woman who can capture the prince's heart. It is a blessing for the palace. If Concubine Wei knew about it, she would definitely be very happy!

As he thought with joy, he looked down into Song Xuanlin's arms, wanting to see what kind of woman could win the prince's favor.

But the first thing he saw was a large bloodstain on the woman's collar.

Is this an injury?

With doubts in his mind, he looked upwards along the bloodstain.

When he saw the woman's face clearly, the joyful smile on his face instantly froze.

Isn't this the female relative of Prince Jing'an? !

How did she end up in the prince's arms?

Lu Yue looked at Song Xuanlin's indifferent face in surprise, thinking, could it be that the prince doesn't know that she is the woman of Prince Jing'an?

He quickly reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, this woman... seems to be the one I met at the hot spring inn..."

"Well, the king knows."

Does the prince know?

Then why still...

Lu Yue thought in confusion and followed Song Xuanlin with a frown.

Song Xuanlin was walking back with Rong Sheng in his arms. He seemed to notice Lu Yue's questioning face. He slowed down, turned his head and whispered jokingly into Lu Yue's ear, "She is not the woman of Prince Jing'an."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked further and further away.

Lu Yue was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Song Xuanlin's tall and straight back thoughtfully.

How strange...

Is it my own illusion?

Why does it feel like the prince has become different from before?

After a long while, he couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and hurriedly chased after him.

Soon, the group returned to the bedroom.

Song Xuanlin gently carried Rong Sheng to the bed. Looking at Rong Sheng's now pale face, he frowned slightly. He was about to unbutton her clothes to check her injuries, but suddenly he felt a burning gaze cast at him from behind.

He turned around subconsciously, but saw Lu Yue standing there like a tree, his eyes as big as copper bells, staring at him intently.

"Anything else?" Song Xuanlin asked softly.

"Oh, no...it's okay, Your Majesty, I will withdraw now."

Lu Yue immediately lowered his eyes and hurried out the door, his heart feeling as if it were a raging storm.

Is this still my prince?

Lu Yue muttered to himself, it was incredible that he could see the prince's gentle side in his lifetime...

Song Xuanlin in the hall didn't care about Lu Yue's surprised expression at all. At this moment, he was carefully unravelling the cloth strip on Rong Sheng's shoulder.

After a while, the shocking wound on Rong Sheng's left shoulder was fully exposed.

At this moment, bright red blood was flowing out of the hideous blood hole caused by the arrow.

Song Xuanlin looked at the horrific wound and his expression instantly became solemn.

I thought that the wound was probably affected when she was escaping, and it became more serious now.

He quickly took out the gold wound ointment and cloth strips from the cabinet.

After carefully wiping the blood around the wound, he gently applied the ointment on the wound.

After a while, the bleeding gradually stopped. Song Xuanlin breathed a sigh of relief and bandaged the wound again with a clean cloth.

Then he took out some qi-replenishing and blood-tonifying pills and stuffed them into Rong Sheng's mouth, then gently lifted her jaw.

Seeing that Rong Sheng had successfully swallowed the pill and his complexion had improved slightly, Song Xuanlin finally relaxed.

He stood up gently, walked to the table, picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

Shaking the teacup in his hand, Song Xuanlin began to recall the conversation between the two just now.

If what she said was true, and there were really people from the Shen family army alive, then she would know everything that happened in the Camel Hump Valley three years ago.

We will also know who else is involved besides the Crown Prince and Marquis Rong.

He put down the teacup, and the secret passage of Prince Jing'an's Palace appeared before his eyes again.

But the most important thing right now is to keep a close eye on Prince Jing'an's Palace.

Prince Jing'an has now colluded with the Nanyue Kingdom and will surely rebel one day.

Moreover, he holds a large number of weapons from the Nanyue Kingdom, and his strength should not be underestimated. Once he gains power, he will definitely shake the foundation of Dazhen, and my father may also be in danger.

He collected his thoughts, went to the couch and lay down, looking up at the ceiling with his whole body relaxed.

This matter is of great importance, so it is better to discuss countermeasures with my uncle as soon as possible.

He thought silently like this, and before he knew it, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell asleep.

————

It was already late at night, but the entire Jing'an Palace was brightly lit as if it were daytime.

In the main hall, several secret guards were kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die for letting those two thieves escape!"

"Snapped--"

Liu Motan's eyes turned bloodshot and he angrily threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"You really deserve to die!"

He roared, staring at the secret guards on the ground with murderous intent and said, "I have spent a lot of money to train you all, but now you can't even catch two petty thieves. What's the point of keeping you around!"

The leading secret guard was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was afraid that he would not survive the night, so he quickly explained: "No, Your Majesty, when I fought with those two people, I found that they were very skilled in martial arts. They were not unknown thieves. They were more like..."

"Hehe," Liu Motian laughed instead of getting angry. He slowly leaned forward, his deep voice full of sarcasm, "Why don't you tell me, what do they look more like?"

"More...more like...a master sent by the palace, Your Majesty." Facing Liu Motian's pressure, the leader of the secret guards' voice trembled uncontrollably, "I found that the hidden weapon used by that person is very rare and has great lethality. It is not something that ordinary people can make. Combined with their martial arts, it is very likely that they were sent by the emperor."

After the secret guard finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Motan and found that his expression had indeed eased. He then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the secret guard did not know the origins of the two people. It was just that the prince had always suspected that the emperor was monitoring him, so in order to save his life, he quickly thought of a way to say that they were sent by the palace.

When Liu Motian heard that it was someone sent by the palace, he no longer had any doubts.

He leaned back in his chair thoughtfully, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He didn't expect that even though he acted so cautiously, he was still discovered by the person in the palace.

However, there is still a month to go before the birthday banquet at Yanhuan Palace, and the masters of Nanyue Kingdom have been delayed due to floods in the southern region, so it will take more than half a month to reach the capital.

In addition, he also needs to win over the Marquis of Rong, use his military force as a cover, and cooperate with himself in internal and external operations.

In other words, before everything is ready, I must not expose myself.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find a way to transfer the weapons in the tunnel to another place as soon as possible.

In this way, even if the emperor came here in person, he would not be able to punish himself.

But with such a huge number of weapons, and the palace being watched by the palace, how can we move them out without attracting attention?

Liu Motian stroked his chin and thought carefully. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought about the marriage with the Rongguo Marquis Mansion in the near future.

yes--

He stood up from his chair excitedly. He could disguise the weapons as a betrothal gift and then send them to the Rongguo Marquis's Mansion in the name of proposing marriage.

Then, wouldn't it be enough to let Rong Dexin transfer the weapons without anyone noticing, and finally deliver them to his own barracks in the suburbs?

After much thought, he felt that this method was the most feasible. He secretly thought that there was no time to lose and that he needed to facilitate the marriage between the two families as soon as possible and persuade Rong Dexin to act with him.

Thinking of this, he solemnly ordered the secret guards, "Pass it on. Five days later, I will go to the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion with the Crown Prince to propose marriage!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
