Chunni heard the young lady calling her name.

He immediately stood up straight.

"Miss...Miss...Please give me your orders. As long as you ask me to do something, I will definitely do it."

Hearing Chunni's confident answer, Xia Zhiyuan sighed and thought that perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to go.

She raised her hand to untie the knot tied on her chest, and with her fingertips, she took off her blue cloak quickly.

"Miss, you must not do that. The wind on this grassland is strong and fast. Miss, your body..."

When Chunni was about to say something, she found that Xia Zhiyuan had put a blue cloak on her and reached out to put on the hood of the cloak.

The white fluff was sticking to his cheek, and Chunni didn't know what to say for a moment. Looking at his young lady's face, he paused and reached out to refuse.

As a result, the young lady's somewhat cold hand fell on the back of his hand.

She looked into Chunni's eyes and spoke every word seriously and sincerely.

"Chun Ni, please, you are the only one I can trust."

"Go see Daddy for me."

"Just a little while."

His cheap father would definitely realize that something was wrong when he saw Chunni, and the spies planted by the person behind the scenes would also instantly understand what had happened.

However, Chunni is safest staying with his cheap father.

As for me, I must hand over the military token to His Highness.

Only then can His Highness be relieved of the predicament of being surrounded by wolves, and only then can His Highness be relieved of the murderous intentions that are linked one after another and one knife is heavier than the other.

As long as the military command is still in the hands of His Highness, it doesn't matter even if all the civil and military officials in the court have their own ulterior motives and schemes.

Even if the person behind the scenes can incite the guards to harm Your Highness, as long as I send the military order to Your Highness, no army will dare to attack Your Highness.

"Miss... Miss... I will go."

"Miss, why bother..."

Although Chunni didn't know why the young lady asked her to pretend to be the young lady to meet the master, she knew that this must be the young lady's plan... and she absolutely could not hold the young lady back.

What's more, this was the first time the young lady touched her own hands, and her hands were already covered with calluses from years of miscellaneous work.

Chunni retracted her hands, fearing that the calluses on her hands would make the young lady feel uncomfortable. At this moment, her inferiority complex was clearly revealed.

"Okay, I believe you can do it."

"I'll be back soon and won't make things difficult for you."

Xia Zhiyuan knew that Chunni had the typical thinking of an ancient maid, and being so bold was already her limit.

She tightly grasped the military token that had been warmed by her grip in her hand and took a deep breath. The autumn breeze from the grassland blew her dress, and Xia Zhiyuan felt that her lungs were refreshed.

“That’s… Ji Won?”

"Why did she run out alone...!"

Zhao Yihan lightly pulled at the belt around Di Ping's waist but did not lean on Di Ping's back. The heavy black armor was a bit too uncomfortable to wear.

With her excellent eyesight, she saw from a distance Xia Zhiyuan walking laboriously in the grassland alone, and it seemed that he was coming towards them.

Naturally, Di Ping had already seen Xia Zhiyuan in the distance, so she tightened the reins, kicked the horse's belly, and hurried in the direction of Xia Zhiyuan.

Logically speaking, at this time, as the princess's study partner, Miss Xia should be accompanying her in reading in the big tent.

Why have we come so far today?

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has already ordered that Her Royal Highness the Princess should return to the city soon after she feels better. This matter has now been included in the itinerary of the Guards and Shadow Guards.

"Miss Xia."

"The wind here..."

Before he could finish his words, Di Ping realized something was wrong. Xia Zhiyuan's face was pale, but her expression was unusually firm, and she was holding a familiar object in her hand.

Swaying slightly in the wind.

This is your highness's military token! This is actually your highness's military token!

She couldn't believe it, but as a shadow guard she knew that the first iron rule of the shadow guard was to see the military token as if seeing His Highness himself.

No matter how many doubts he had in his mind, Di Ping could only dismount, kneel on the ground, and salute with his hands clasped together.

"No need... His Highness is in danger, Di Ping, you must go and rescue him immediately."

Although Xia Zhiyuan was not sure whether Di Ping could be trusted, at least His Highness trusted her.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen Di Ping from among the many shadow guards to follow him.

In order to distinguish the many shadow guards of His Highness, Xia Zhiyuan specially compared the mask on Di Ping's face and the armor on his body with those of the other shadow guards. That's why she can now recognize the fully armed Di Ping at a glance.

"Yes, Miss Xia."

Although he didn't understand the whole story, after spending a few days with her, Di Ping knew what kind of person Miss Xia was. She had been a shadow guard for so many years that she had already developed a pair of sharp eyes that could see through people's hearts at a glance.

Get up.

Di Ping climbed onto the horse again, raised his hand to take off the black iron mask on his face, and took out a special whistle from his neck.

The whistle was pitch black and small in size.

Di Ping put it to his lips and blew it three times in succession. The sound was sharp and different in tone, and spread out slowly.

This is a unique signal between the Shadow Guards. Apart from the Shadow Guards, even the Guards cannot tell what message this whistle signal is conveying.

At once, all the shadow guards who were patrolling outside came over. Some of them naturally knew that the prince had just been called over by the Emperor.

But I heard the gentle tone in the whistle - the military order

These four words instantly lingered in the minds of the shadow guards!

The military order is the highest level order of the Shadow Guards, and only the military order in His Highness's hand can do it. If the whistle sounds, it means that a Shadow Guard has seen His Highness's military order.

They must all obey orders!

……

Zhao Changlin was wearing a plain white robe, and his outer cloak had been taken off long ago. The palace maid at the door took it obediently.

When she came over, she looked carefully. Her father's tent was still the same as before, with a group of guards surrounding it and guarding it strictly.

When the curtain was opened, the servants in the tent had already been dismissed and were waiting outside on standby.

"Father?"

Zhao Changlin glanced at the empty desk in the big tent. On it were piles of half-revised documents, some of which were scattered around.

This was quite like my father's usual style. He felt sleepy in the middle of reviewing memorials and couldn't stand it anymore, so he went back to his couch to rest for a while.

But logically speaking, if my father wanted to summon me for something, he would definitely not rest early.

Could it be that my father’s old illness has come back?

Zhao Changlin had made up his mind that his father was afraid to see a doctor and always thought that his illness was a minor one, so he was unwilling to summon the imperial physician.

Sometimes, when I have a headache, I sleep for several hours and don’t like to be disturbed.

Continuing to walk forward, we could still smell the scent of ambergris burning in the big tent, which was very pleasant.
