As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward and pulled over a patrol guard, stuffed a silver ingot into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Brother, my sister was sold to the palace as a maid and hasn't been home for many years. I wonder if you could do me a favor and let me in to see my sister?"

Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.

The guard, who had a cold face and was about to draw his sword to attack at any time, immediately softened his expression after seeing what was stuffed into his hand. After looking around, he waved to Fu Jinnian implicitly, indicating that he should follow him.

Looking at Zhuifeng, Fu Jinnian's eyes were full of pride.

Seeing his master like this, Zhuifeng followed with an expressionless face.

The guard led Fu Jinnian and Zhuifeng to a narrow dog hole and said in a low voice, "Go in quickly and be careful of the people inside. I won't be responsible if you get caught."

After giving the warning, he began to keep watch for Fu Jinnian and the other man.

Looking at the dog hole that was barely big enough for an adult to pass through, Fu Jinnian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and went in.

The money has been spent, so we definitely can't give up at this time.

Shen Chu, ah Shen Chu, I even crawled through a dog hole to find you.

After struggling to get in through the dog hole, Fu Jinnian hammered his suffering waist several times.

This was the first time he had suffered such a great injustice in his three years as a bandit.

"Do you know how to get to the East Palace?"

Fu Jinnian leaned close to Zhuifeng's ear and lowered his voice.

Hearing this, Zhuifeng frowned. Seeing him like this, Fu Jinnian subconsciously thought that Zhuifeng didn't know. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhuifeng's stuttering voice, "Master, we don't need to go to the East Palace."

Because the person they were looking for had already appeared.

"What do you mean we don't need to go to the Eastern Palace? Wasn't Shen Chu captured by the Crown Prince? Where else can we find her if not in the Eastern Palace? Is she thrown into the Heavenly Prison?"

That's not the case.

Zhuifeng raised his hand and tilted his head to the right, asking him to look that way.

He looked, and then he saw Shen Chu. Although her makeup was exaggerated, it was not difficult to recognize her if he looked carefully.

And a noble and beautiful girl.

The girl standing next to Shen Chu was wearing a brocade satin skirt with a cloud-like brocade on the outside, which was as clear as glass. Her black hair was lightly tied with two satin ribbons, and a magnolia flower was dotted in her hair. Her eyes were black and smart, and her face was full of cleverness.

About fifteen or sixteen years old.

As if she noticed the gaze coming from this side, the girl glanced over here with confusion in her eyes.

Seeing Xie An Ning looking over here, Shen Chu also glanced over here, and was a little surprised after seeing the other person's appearance clearly.

Fu Jinnian?

Why is he here?

Shouldn't Fu Jinnian be the king of his Taiyin Mountain at this time?

Why did you go to Beijing? And even to the Imperial Palace?

Could it be... that he really came to find her?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Chu gently tugged at Xie Anning's clothes, motioning her to go over there.

Although he didn't know why Shen Chu did this, Xie An Ning still did as he was told and walked towards Fu Jinnian.

The first thing Shen Chu said when he approached him was, "Why did you come to the palace?"

But Fu Jinnian asked her, "Didn't I promise to come find you? A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

is it?

I didn't realize he was so trustworthy.

"Then how did you get in?"

The palace was heavily guarded. If she didn't follow Xie An Ning, she wouldn't be able to leave the palace, let alone the Eastern Palace.

Fu Jinnian was a little embarrassed to speak of this. He scratched the back of his head, his eyes wandering. "Well... this is a secret."

Secret? Shen Chu's eyes searched the surrounding area and finally stopped at a dog hole not far from Fu Jinnian.

She seemed to know.

Seeing Shen Chu looking towards the dog hole, Fu Jinnian subconsciously stood aside, trying to block Shen Chu's sight.

But he failed.

Shen Chu had seen it a long time ago.

"You're here, so where's your bestie?"

Hearing this question, Shen Chu's expression changed, and his tone became serious, "It should be... in the General's Mansion."

If Jiang Fuling had returned home, the capital would be full of rumors that Minister Jiang's youngest daughter had come back to life, but that didn't happen.

According to An Ning, Shang Heng didn't even go to court yesterday morning.

Because Shang Heng had made great contributions in guarding the border, he could have gone to court with his father, but Shang Heng did not go yesterday. It was said that he had caught a cold and did not want important officials in the court to be infected by him, so he took sick leave and did not go to court.

When Shen Chu heard this excuse, he knew that Shang Heng was lying.

A year ago, Shang Heng returned from the border after winning a battle. His hands were almost broken, but he could still attend the morning court as usual. Now he can't go because he caught a cold?

Who would believe it?

"So you're going to look for Jiang Fuling now?"

Hearing the tone of voice of Fu Jinnian and Shen Chu, Xie Anning guessed that they should know each other, so she just listened quietly during the conversation between Shen Chu and Fu Jinnian until she heard Fu Jinnian mention Jiang Fuling's name.

"Sister Jiang isn't dead either?!"

There was joy in his voice, and he was obviously very happy about this sudden news.

However, Shen Chu felt a little embarrassed when she heard her joyful voice. She touched her nose and said, "This...it's hard to explain in a short time. Let's go find Fuling first."

After saying that, Shen Chu looked at Fu Jinnian again, "Do you... want to come together?"

If he were asked to go alone to save Jiang Fuling, he would definitely not go.

But since Shen Chu and this beautiful lady are both going...

"Go ahead, your friends are my friends. I am willing to go through fire and water for my friends!"

Hearing his master's boast, Zhuifeng didn't want to expose him and could only look away.

Shen Chu looked at Fu Jinnian with some doubt, "How are your skills?"

No skills at all.

But he brought people with him.

Fu Jinnian pulled Zhuifeng over and introduced him like a sales pitch. "His best record is one against eighteen. Impressive, isn't it?"

He didn't mention himself in his words, which means he has no record of success.

Hearing this, Shen Chu nodded, "Great, let's go."

After Shen Chu and Xie An Ning turned around, Zhui Feng quietly reminded Fu Jinnian, "Master, Zhui Feng didn't win that time."

Fu Jinnian played dumb and said, "Shut up. If I say you hit me, then I hit you."

The group went to the general's mansion in Xie An Ning's carriage. In order to avoid scaring acquaintances on the road, Shen Chu put on a veil and used the veil on the veil to simply cover his true face.

At this time, it was estimated that those who attended the court had already left. Shen Chu felt a headache when he thought about this.

Will Xie Ming get angry if he doesn’t see her later?

No, what does Xie Ming’s anger have to do with her?

Could it be that because Xie Ming would be angry if she left Donggong, she would be trapped in Donggong for the rest of her life?

Yesterday she was almost scared to death by Xie Ming's actions.

"An Ning, how's your brother's temper lately?"

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Chu lowered his voice and asked about Xie Ming's recent affairs.

When Xie Anning heard Shen Chu ask this, her face immediately turned ugly. Judging from her expression, it could be seen that she was a little confused.

"He was very moody before the Spring Hunt, but he wasn't moody anymore after the Spring Hunt."

Shen Chu's eyes widened slightly, "Are you feeling better after the spring hunt?"
