Luo Man wanted to cry again, and squeezed Li Shuangwan's sleeves tightly: "Princess, how come Shengjing City is more terrifying than the Northwest Border?"

Li Shuangwan touched her head: "Are you scared?"

Roman shrank her neck, nodded, and nodded again in panic: "Don't be afraid, as long as the princess is here, I'm not afraid at all."

The place under the feet of this cannibalistic emperor is indeed much more terrifying than the northwest.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion.

When Li Shuangwan returned home, it was not yet 3 p.m. and the sky was still bright. If she went out at this time, it would attract attention.

She had to wait until dark.

She must save the child named Hu Shuyi, and if possible, Hu Zhenfang's family must also be saved.

Time seemed to pass very slowly. Li Shuangwan held the account book in his hand, but he did not read a single word.

It is easy to save the child, but where to send the child?

She had no foolproof plan to protect Hu Shuyi. Outside, the Five Cities Army was searching the entire city, and her parents were not in Shengjing City.

It is impossible to put this child in the General's Mansion and hand him over to the second house. They will only tie him up and bring him to Emperor Jingzhang to seek credit.

And Prince Heng’s Palace cannot take him back.

Zhuangzi's view is not appropriate either.

Li Shuangwan's eyes lit up. Perhaps he could send the child to his maternal grandfather's house and let his grandfather find a way to send the child to his father.

In the previous life, after something happened to Prime Minister Hu’s family, my grandfather was sad for a long time.

The grandmother also secretly took care of the female members of the Hu family.

Yes, that’s what we’ll do. Let’s wait until dark.

Chen Ping came in hurriedly: "Princess, Xu Fu couldn't stand the torture and has confessed. He has embezzled a lot in the past few years as the shopkeeper of Mozhai. He not only has a wife, two concubines, four sons and two daughters, an elderly father and mother, and twenty-five servants, but also a three-story house. Ten thousand taels of silver notes, five hundred taels of silver, and countless silks and satins were also found in his mansion."

Roman's eyes widened, "He's greedy for so much?"

Chen Ping glanced at her and said, "Yes, all the revenue of Mo Zhai in the past few years went into this bastard's pocket!"

"What was the verdict of Jingzhao Prefecture?" Li Shuangwan asked.

"The case has been sent to the Ministry of Justice. His entire family has been exiled to Wushan Pass."

"After autumn? We're going to let him live that long? What a waste of food!" Roman said angrily.

Li Shuangwan snapped the book shut and said to Chen Ping, "Roman is right. It's a waste of food. Chen Ping, tell this to the people in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Yes."

During dinner, Chen Rong was setting the dishes while whispering, "Princess, after you left this morning, I saw a maid sneaking into your room."

Li Shuangwan looked up at her.

"She was very careful. I saw that she had bad intentions, so I didn't disturb her. After she left, I came in and found that your incense burner had been moved."

Li Shuangwan: "You did a great job. In the future, just keep an eye on me like you did today. Be careful to protect yourself."

Yizhu turned pale when he heard this. It was true that one had to keep an eye on the people in Prince Heng's mansion to know whether they were ghosts or not.

Yizhu: "Princess, do you want to tell His Highness? These traitors are trying to harm you. His Highness will definitely not let them off if he finds out!"

Li Shuangwan shook his head: "No need. We haven't caught her red-handed, and we don't know what she did with the incense. It will be useless even if we tell His Highness."

Yizhu looked at his master deeply, and always felt that his master no longer trusted His Highness as much after getting married, especially after returning from the White Horse Temple.

"Arong, wrap the contents of the incense burner in paper and give it to your brother. Ask him to take it to the farm to show Luo Luo."

"Miss Su Er understands?" Yi Zhu asked in surprise.

"She has great medical skills."

The two little maids in the room looked at each other.

Then he gave Chen Rong a piece of paper with the poisons Su Luo wanted written on it: "Give this to your brother too, and ask him to keep an eye out for these things in various pharmacies. If they do, buy them no matter how much they cost."

"Yes, I've made note of it."

After dinner, it was finally dark. After Li Shuangwan sent the two maids away, she immediately changed into a set of light black clothes. After thinking for a while, she put a few snacks on the table into her arms and quietly left the house through the back door.

For Ying, who was always paying attention to Le Xiaoyuan, he naturally noticed Li Shuangwan's movements, and he hurriedly followed him out.

In an abandoned house that had been ransacked two years ago, Li Shuangwan found Hu Shuyi curled up in a corner.

When she approached the child, he looked at her with fear on his face and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Li Shuangwan took out some snacks from her bosom and handed them to Hu Shuyi, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Are you hungry? Come and eat it."

The child swallowed, obviously very hungry, but still did not dare to reach out.

Li Shuangwan handed the snack forward again: "Take it and eat it. You haven't eaten anything all day today. Are you starving?"

Li Shuangwan took the water bag from his waist and handed it over: "Don't worry, your grandfather and my father were both officials in the same dynasty, so they know each other."

However, at this moment, a knife was suddenly placed on her neck from behind: "Don't move."

Hu Shuyi just stretched out his hand to take it, but he was frightened by the cold shout and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He sobbed and even cried out loud.

Li Shuangwan's heart was beating violently. It would be a lie to say she was not afraid. She was reborn to seek revenge, and she couldn't risk her own life to save Hu Shuyi.

If that were the case, she would not save him.

There is no way, people are selfish, and she has to save herself and her family first.

Li Shuangwan turned around slowly, and when he saw the man in front of him with a knife on his neck, his eyes darkened.

Not only because this man also had a knife at his neck, but also because of who he was.

Li Shuangwan sneered: "Who was it I thought? It turned out to be Young Marquis Cui. Oh, Young Marquis Cui, it's been a long time since we last met!"

A lifetime has passed, but the words "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there's nothing I can do for you" are still ringing in my ears.

Cui Jingyu didn't expect it to be her. He stepped back in embarrassment with his eyes wide open, not even caring about the cut on his neck. He looked at her in disbelief: "Li Shuang, no, Princess Heng, how could it be you?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Li Shuangwan nodded to the shadow holding the knife on Cui Jingyu's neck, motioning him to put the knife down. "Young Marquis Cui is not in the northwest, why did he come to Shengjing City?"

Cui Jingyu put away his initial surprise and sneered, "Why, only you, Li Shuangwan, are allowed to come to Shengjing City, but I, Cui Jingyu, am not allowed to come? Moreover, how come I don't know when I offended Princess Heng?"

He held the sword to his chest and said, "Didn't you, Miss Li, look down on me and unilaterally break the engagement to come to Shengjing City to marry Prince Heng, making me a laughing stock?"
