Lin Xiao did not explain anything to Qin Kangtai. As soon as she finished speaking, she waved at the people beside her. The imperial guards behind them received the order and rushed into their Prince Qin's Mansion without hesitation.

"How dare you! How dare you barge into the prince's mansion!"

"You all …" The steward walked around the door in vain, but no one could stop him.

"Your Highness, this …" The steward looked at the mass of imperial guards that rushed in. His heart beat like a drum as he stood by Qin Kangtai's side, unsure of what to do. He could only wait for Qin Kangtai's next command and see how he would respond.

Qin Kangtai could not help but snort coldly. As of now, the Emperor's demeanor was becoming more and more arrogant, and his courage had grown in the past few years. What great thief Jiang's jade-like face, let alone whether or not he, a great thief, was actually in the capital, even in terms of Prince Qin's Mansion, he would absolutely not dare to come.

What kind of great thief dared to risk his life and enter the prince's mansion? The emperor gave the order to search through the Prince Qin's Mansion only to find out what had happened and to use it as an excuse.

Although Qin Kangtai was unhappy, it was impossible for him to disobey the imperial decree. Under the gaze of everyone, he was able to refute the imperial decree. It was probably because the emperor had his eyes on this point that he dared to give out such an order.

"Hmph …" Qin Kangtai coldly snorted and flung his sleeves. He was obviously displeased. His face was ugly to the point of turning red. He angrily turned around and entered the manor.

"It doesn't matter. If they want to search, then let them. I want to see if I can find that great thief!"

As he said this, Qin Kangtai turned around and glared at Lin Xiao. The warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Lin Xiao held onto the sword at his waist as he watched his subordinates search the manor. He thought that he didn't see anything, which made Qin Kangtai even more angry.

Although the passersby outside the Prince Qin's Mansion were curious, when they saw the surrounding guards, they did not dare to stay. They hurriedly walked forward, wondering if something big had happened to the Prince Qin's Mansion.

Even if there were a few bold ones who wanted to investigate, they were immediately chased away by the guards.

As a result, the news of his majesty ordering his Prince Qin's Mansion to be surrounded and for something to happen spread like wildfire. Everyone only knew that the prince of Prince Qin's Mansion had committed some sort of crime, but they did not know the reason behind it.

And as long as this point, was enough for Lian Chengming.

On the other side, Liu Ruyan did not know that such an important matter had happened in the capital just as she left it.

Riding the carriage, they left the city. There were already people waiting outside the city, the people Princess Anyang had already arranged for them outside the city.

After leaving the sight of the capital, the carriage stopped, Liu Ruyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and from a distance, she saw two big burly men standing not far from him.

Both of them were leading their horses. When they saw the carriage approach, they hurriedly came to greet it.

The horse carriage stopped, and Zhang Ming Yuan cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Ruyan: "Esteemed Empress, we cannot send you off far away, and should stop here."

"Ming Yuan is weak and cannot accompany you on the next journey, but Mother has already prepared a follower and other items for the Empress. The Maid Lu will accompany the Empress on her journey."

"But the journey is very long, and the carriage is probably done for. Does the Empress know how to ride a horse?"

The Maid Lu bowed to Liu Ruyan and got out of the car to retrieve something.

Liu Ruyan nodded, and said: "Born from the General's Mansion, although I am a girl, I can still be considered to be skilled in horse riding."

Only then did Zhang Mingyuan smile. "That's good."

"Mother and the other madams will temporarily help the Empress settle everything in the capital, but I don't know how many days I'll be able to hide it from you." This trip is dangerous, so I hope that the Empress will take care of yourself and take care of everything. "

Liu Ruyan thanked Zhang Ming Yuan and got off the car.

This trip to the border was done with the help of the Princess Anyang who was busy helping her take care of everything. Liu Ruyan naturally took this trip to heart, and the Zhang Family, a young master who was frail and sickly, took it very seriously.

Maid Lu had already spoken with the people outside the carriage, seeing that Liu Ruyan had alighted, she extended her hand to support Liu Ruyan.

"Empress, these are people arranged by our princess empress. It's inconvenient to leave the city, and it's inconvenient for the princess to arrange too many people. This old one will follow you all the way. May esteemed Empress mount the horse."

A sturdy man pulled his horse over, explained that he had given the reins to Liu Ruyan, and reported his name: "I am Lin Xiaode."

The other one was the same, "Little Liu Lu Sheng."

Then, the two of them said in unison, "As the Empress commands."

Maid Lu took the reed hat from Zhuang Lu Sheng's hands and passed it to Liu Ruyan, who had already mounted the horse, "Empress, in order to prevent everyone from having too many eyes, I hope that you can put on the reed hat. Once you have reached the Feng City, this old one will help you find a set of male attire so that you can hide from others."

Liu Ruyan nodded her head, this Maid Lu was truly worthy of being the most capable maid by her side, she had thought things through so carefully.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Ming Yuan, the four of them started on their journey. Liu Ruyan was worried about Liu Yuanzhan, so they travelled through the night, but their Feng City s were far away.

Liu Yuanzhan had lost information here at the Feng City, so if one wanted to investigate, they had to first investigate from the Feng City.

For safety's sake, the Maid Lu first found an inn to settle down, and arranged for a few people to pack their luggage. For the time being, she would rest here in the Mi County to feed her horses.

Liu Ruyan naturally knew that she was anxious and unable to eat hot tofu, after rushing for a few days, they were tired, although Maid Lu was healthy, but after all she was old, Liu Ruyan had to consider him.

The inn was called Boat Row Inn, and it was located in the northwest corner of Mi County. It could be considered a thriving business, and when the few of them went there, there were already many people in the shop.

But fortunately, there were still rooms in the room. Liu Ruyan had requested for two of the best rooms, one for her and the Maid Lu, and one for the two guards.

This time, brought only a few people out from the capital, and he did not bring the Private Guard s from the Liu Family.

At this time, the Liu Family were definitely being observed by others, if they were to rashly bring out the Private Guard s of the Liu Family, they might alert the snake, and even the slightest movement would cause trouble.

He didn't know where this boatwalker inn came from or whether it was better to be careful in everything.

The two rooms were close together, so they could look after each other.

Maid Lu put down her luggage and left. When she returned, it was already very late, and she had brought back a few sets of men's clothes for Liu Ruyan. She put them into her bag and hid all of Liu Ruyan's women's clothes.

The night came extremely fast, yet Liu Ruyan was unable to sleep for a long time.

"The Empress must be worrying about the General Liu again." Maid Lu was also awake, and when she heard that Liu Ruyan couldn't calm down, she asked.
