"Someone come quickly, there's a thief." Someone come quickly!
The sound of rubbing armor became clearer. Along with Song Yiyan's voice, five steps away from Zuo Linyu and Song Qingyu, was a large crowd of people. The courtyard, which was originally silent and dark, suddenly became noisy like a busy market.
Song Yiyan walked through the crowd and smiled proudly.
He pushed his way through the crowd.
She brought along the soldiers of Zhenguo Palace in order to capture Song Qingyu and King Yi alive, so that the soldiers of Zhenguo Manor would be able to see the ugly appearance of Song Qingyu!
"Second sister?" What are you doing here? It's so late, what kind of thief are you trying to catch? "
Song Qingyu raised his head in shock and stared at the approaching person.
Zuo Ruyu's eyes narrowed as she tried to cover herself from the cold light.
Song Yiyan was stunned, her face turned ugly as she murmured, "How can it be the king?"
"Song Yiyan, you brought so many troops? What are you trying to do? "
Zuo Linyu stared at Song Yiyan in surprise.
This woman before him was willing to do anything in order to marry him. He even tried to kill his third sister by pretending to miscarry, only to end up in the middle of the street and lose all face. He wanted to kill her so much, but now she had led people to surround him!
Zuo Liyu's anger rose involuntarily, ingrained in her.
Song Yiyan was completely flustered when she was stared at by Zuo Linyu. When he suddenly saw the envelope in Song Qingyu's hand, he immediately walked over. "My lord, you misunderstood me. I'm here to catch the thief!"
Song Yiyan took the letter from Song Qingyu's hand.
Zuo Linyu was stunned, thinking about the importance of this letter, she immediately grabbed it, "Song Yiyan, what is wrong with you?"
"Your Highness, as long as you see this letter, you will understand why I've come here."
Zuo Ruyu's eyes slightly creased. She thought Song Yiyan was here to get the letter, so she refused to let go, "Song Yiyan, are you crazy?"
Song Yiyan must be crazy to go against him, and think that something was wrong with him!
Zuo Liyu thought.
Song Yiyan, on the other hand, felt that Zuo Linyu had been deceived by Song Qingyu, and was still protecting him.
"Your Highness, you cannot side with Song Qingyu!" Song Yiyan screamed, but could not move at all.
Just when Zuo Ruyu was about to use her full strength, she saw a person behind Song Yiyan — the Duke of Zhenguo. Behind the Duke of Zhenguo stood Madam Shen.
The Duke of Zhenguo had come to capture Zuo Linyi, but he hadn't expected to see King Yu. Now that King Yu and Song Yiyan were at a stalemate, he could only show his face.
"Your Highness, something is amiss on today's day. If Your Highness trusts this old official, you can pass the letter to this old official without worry. This will prevent any villains from harboring malicious intentions and instigate a relationship between the two palaces. " The Duke of Zhen said as he looked at Song Qingyu.
Song Qingyu clearly knew how shrewd the Duke of Zhenguo was. He kept his head down so that no one could see his expression.
Zuo Linyu's eyes narrowed as she gave off a domineering air, "Duke Zhen, what is the meaning of this?"
He stepped forward and clutched the letter. However, he was stopped by Song Qing.
"Your Royal Highness, let them see this letter. Otherwise, the Duke of Zhenguo will not believe it." Song Qing Yu tugged on Zuo Linyu's sleeve.
Zuo Lanyu looked at Song Qingyu doubtfully as she let go of his hand. Then, she softly said, "Forget it."
Zuo Linyu's faith in Song Qingyu was like a thorn piercing into Song Yiyan's heart.
Song Yiyan gritted her teeth.
"Your Highness, you will soon know Song Qingyu's true colors!" Song Yiyan opened the letter but was stunned the moment she saw it.
This was not the letter that Song Yiyan had seen that night at all. Instead, it was the letter that King Yu had first passed to Song Qingyu, inviting him to meet with him. This letter was too familiar to Song Yiyan. Song Yiyan had peeked at this letter before, which was why she was able to get close to Zuo Linyu.
Now …
Song Yiyan froze on the spot.
"Second sister, is there a problem with the letter?" Song Qingyu raised his eyebrows.
Zuo Linyu looked at the letter in disbelief, wondering why Song Qingyu had changed the letter so quickly.
Song Yiyan suddenly realized that she had been tricked.
"No, Your Highness, I was tricked by Song Qingyu. What I saw was not such a letter at all. "
Zuo Linyu let out a breath and glanced at her expression at the same time. She didn't even pause her stray gaze on her. Instead, she looked at the Duke of Zhenguo.
The Duke of Zhenguo was also surprised. With a wave of his hand, all the soldiers in the surrounding area backed away.
"General Zhenguo, were you facing Ben Wang with a weapon just now?" Zuo Linyu's voice was heavy.
The Duke of Zhenguo knew what he was talking about, and even Zuo Linyu wouldn't easily believe him. "It was also because this old man was muddle-headed and had added more trouble to the prince's life. Some other day, I will definitely come to the Duke's Mansion to apologize personally. "
"Are you going to apologize to This King?"
The Duke of Zhenguo paused slightly. He knew that Zuo Linyu meant for him to apologize to Song Qingyu. But he was the exalted Duke of Zhenguo, how could he lower his head to a commoner?
"Duke Zhen seems to be a bit unconvinced. Do you think you can stay out of tonight's affairs? "
The Duke of Zhenguo gritted his teeth, but kept his back straight and looked at Song Qingyu, "Miss Song, I'm sorry."
"Ah Yu doesn't dare."
This sentence was rather pleasing to the ears.
The Duke of Zhenguo thought, and unconsciously glanced at Song Qingyu. Suddenly, he saw the sneer in Song Qingyu's eyes. It was like a block of ice had pierced into a person's heart.
A little girl, and the arrogance in her eyes made people tremble in fear.
However, he didn't mind. His military strength was what Zuo Linyu needed. No matter what, she wouldn't fall out with him. Unbeknownst to them, Zuo Linyu's trust in the Duke of Zhenguo had inadvertently loosened a bit.
Zuo Linyu did not look at the Duke of Zhenguo, but held Song Qingyu's hand, "Tonight, you were frightened." This King will send you back. "
Song Qingyu lowered his head obediently as he looked at the surrounding soldiers. He then covered his head with his hat and followed behind Zuo Linyu.
Song Qingyu was decent and generous, but he also knew his limits.
Zuo Ruyu sighed and held her hand tightly. After walking a few steps, she turned around and asked, "Are you scared?"
Song Qingyu looked at Zuo Linyu and shook his head, then lowered his head as if he had committed a grave mistake, "I'm fine, it's just that the letter that the Prince told me to look for was sent by me in a moment of desperation …" "I swallowed it."
What do you mean?
Zuo Linyu abruptly tightened her grip on Song Qingyu's wrist.
Song Qingyu's gaze changed slightly.
She thought, in the heart of Zuo Liyu, this letter is very important. If the crisis is resolved, then he will definitely be angry with her for destroying the letter. She had always been insignificant to him when compared to power and status.
As expected, he became nervous!
Song Qing and Yu had prepared everything long ago and were waiting for his anger.
Song Qingyu quickly lowered his head, his voice was as cautious as a mosquito.
"I'm sorry, I know that the letter is very important to the prince, but the prince said that I can't be discovered, so when I became anxious, I ate the paper. Your Highness, I'm sorry. "But, Your Highness, I …"
Before Song Qing and Yu finished talking, her chin was suddenly pushed. His face was propped up. He walked to the nervous expression on Zuo Linyu's face. Zuo Ruyu hadn't expected that Song Qing and Yu had come over to eat the paper as a cover!
"Is there anything wrong with your body?"
