The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

Lu Jiao brought Xing Xuan to Gu Yanning's yard.

At this moment, she had fallen asleep, and Xia Yue was sleeping on a small couch in the inner room.

Lu Jiao calmed Xia Yue down, and she would not be awakened unless she spoke loudly.

She took out Yan Yuanhao's jade token from her bosom and put it into Xing Xuan's hand: "Go in, I'll pick you up later."

Xing Xuan squeezed Lu Jiao's hand gratefully: "Okay!"

After closing the door again, Lu Jiao looked around, hid his figure, and disappeared on the spot.

The night before, Lu Jiao did not detect the presence of secret guards in the palace.

But now it has appeared, and this is an after-sales issue.

She jumped in a few steps to the main building of the courtyard.

Although its walls are not as high as those of the imperial city, it is located right in the middle of the central axis of the entire palace.

The mental power radiated out like a huge round cake, covering the palace.

Countless mental tentacles marked each humanoid heat source.

Lu Jiao simply glanced over those who were lying on the beds or couches, as well as those who were doing their normal patrols in the mansion.

Soon, she screened out three unusual people.

In addition to the person she and Xing Xuan had seen before, there was another person at the back door, and the last one was guarding the southwest corner.

The three of them were like three turtles, either lying or standing, motionless.

Lu Jiao was hoping that they would move so that she could find a pattern in how they stood guard, but she didn't expect it to be random.

I stared at them for a long time, but didn't see them move, as if they were asleep.

But Lu Jiao knew that as long as there was something unusual in the palace, these three people would take action.

Seeing that Xing Xuan was about to finish talking to Gu Yanning, Lu Jiao could only note down the location where the three people were hiding and then go look for them.

At first, the leader didn't believe Lu Jiao's words.

Helplessly, Lu Jiao could only carry him to the northeast corner, pointed to where the secret guards were hiding and said, "Look carefully there!"

He had to use the hiding method taught by Lu Jiao before he could barely make out a figure.

Considering that they have been wandering around the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion these days, aren't they all under the eyes of the secret guards?

Lu Jiao covered his mouth and stepped back.

After making sure that the secret guards would not discover their whereabouts, he whispered to him, "Take your brothers back first.

If anyone asks you, just say I said it, and I will go back and explain to the prince."

"Okay!" The leader believed that he was not as good as the secret guard in martial arts and concealment skills.

In order not to be exposed and ruin the prince's business, he bowed to Lu Jiao and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu Jiao!"

"Oh! I am not an adult at all."

You know what, it feels pretty good to be called that.

Lu Jiao was still a little elated. He didn't expect that he had this habit!

Her thoughts drifted further and further away, but finally came back.

I haven’t gone to pick up Xingxuan yet!

She returned the same way and climbed into Gu Yanning's yard before withdrawing her mental power.

Seeing her figure, Xing Xuan immediately opened the door from the inside.

"Let's go!"

Xing Xuan was just about to follow Lu Jiao, but unexpectedly Gu Yanning also followed her to the door.

Under the hazy moonlight, Lu Jiao was dressed in black and covered her face with a black veil.

But judging from the flat chest, he is just a young boy.

Gu Yanning's face looked a little ugly, and the slight good impression she had just had on Yan Yuanhao disappeared.

What she said was somewhat impolite: "Does the prince think that I must marry him, so he doesn't even care about the separation between men and women?"

Xing Xuan became anxious when she heard this and was about to explain, but was stopped by Lu Jiao.

Because he was young and had not yet reached the male voice change period, Lu Jiao's voice had always been difficult to distinguish between male and female, and he did not deliberately lower his voice.

But if we do so now, it will be difficult to explain.

Lu Jiao recalled the clamps he had encountered before, and said with a pinched voice: "What is Sister Gu talking about? I just haven't had my period yet."

Xing Xuan only felt that Lu Jiao had refreshed her cognition again.

However, Gu Yanning's cheeks turned red with shame because she had misunderstood Yan Yuanhao.

"I...you...I...I misunderstood you. Please don't tell the prince!"

The caring words in the letter just now slowly came to her mind again, and Gu Yanning felt warm.

Apart from her mother, no one has ever cared about her like this.

Her fingers nervously scratched the crack of the door, waiting for Lu Jiao's answer.

"Don't worry, it's just a small misunderstanding.

It's getting darker and the dew is heavier, so it's better for you to rest early, young lady."

"Okay." Gu Yanning closed the door gently.

When passing by the inner room, Gu Yanning saw Xia Yue sleeping soundly, and she felt shy and angry.

When Xing Xuan covered her mouth just now, she was so scared that she thought it was Xiao Xu who sent someone to murder her.

Only when Xing Xuan took out the jade token did she believe what Xing Xuan said.

However, she did not let down her guard because of what Yan Yuanhao said in the letter.

It was not until the morning of the fifth day, when she went to the west courtyard to pay her respects, that she saw a strange girl who looked just as good as herself beside Xiao Xu.

Only then did Gu Yanning completely believe Yan Yuanhao's reminder, and she cheered up and prepared to deal with the conspiracy in the palace.

But that’s a story for later, so let’s not talk about it for now.

Xing Xuan followed Lu Jiao all the way back to the Prince's Mansion before she caught up with her and asked, "Why did you lie to her?"

"Do you want to admit that I am a man? Don't you realize that she has misunderstood your master?

It is better to tell a white lie than to tell the truth and make her feel dissatisfied with your master. "

What's more, this is not a lie, but the truth.

Lu Jiao is a genuine woman, she just doesn't want to walk around as a woman, there is no problem with that.

Pretending to be a man is deceiving.

These days, no one believes the truth. The world is really going downhill.

She prepared herself mentally and became more and more confident.

The two of them kept fighting until they reached Yan Yuanhao's dormitory.

Yan Yuanhao felt that he had just fallen asleep for a while when he was woken up by Lu Jiao and Xing Xuan.

Fortunately, he knew that they had returned from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, so he did not get angry.

"Master, this is Miss Gu's reply to you."

Xing Xuan took out a letter and Yan Yuanhao's jade token from her arms and handed them to him.

"How did the jade token come into your hands?"

Yan Yuanhao just asked casually, and Lu Jiao took the opportunity to continue: "When we went to the Zhennan Palace, we found that there were secret guards hiding in the dark.

So I gave the jade token to Xing Xuan and asked her to tell Miss Gu that I was going to look for the brothers who were guarding outside the palace.

There are three secret guards outside the palace. I will mark them on the layout map later."

"Thanks a lot."

When the two saw that Yan Yuanhao had already opened the envelope, they stopped talking.

There were only a few words in the letter.

I understand. Thank you very much.

In order to avoid private transactions between men and women, this letter had no beginning and no signature. Only Yan Yuanhao, who knew Gu Yanning well, could see some traces of the future from this slightly childish handwriting.

Yan Yuanhao curled the corner of his mouth, took out an empty wooden box from the treasure chest beside him, and carefully put the letter away.

"What were you arguing about before you came in? You woke me up."
