Ru Yue was wearing a blue long gown with a dark blue belt around her waist and a scarf of the same color on her head, which tied up her long hair that looked like a waterfall.

Her face was deliberately retouched. Her originally delicate eyebrows were drawn thicker and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, making her look more heroic.

After this makeover, Ru Yue's temperament changed greatly. She was already fresh and beautiful, and now dressed as a man, she looked even more graceful and elegant.

She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, even younger than her actual age, making it difficult to tell her true gender, as if she were a young boy whose gender was difficult to tell.

Chu Ning'an looked at Ru Yue quietly, a wave of pity welling up in his heart. He thought to himself, if it weren't for him, Ru Yue wouldn't have to run around so much, let alone fall into such a dangerous situation. Thinking of this, Chu Ning'an was overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt.

After Ru Yue finished dressing, she turned around and saw Chu Ning'an's expression. She immediately understood what he was thinking, so she walked lightly to him, raised her slender little hand, and playfully poked his cheek, saying with a smile, "Look at this face that looks like a banished immortal. It belongs to me! I wonder how many girls will envy and hate it? Just thinking about it makes me feel so proud!"

Chu Ning'an naturally knew that Ru Yue was deliberately trying to divert his attention, but he didn't argue with her. He smiled slightly, quietly putting away the sadness in his heart, and said softly, "Then I must protect this face well, so that you can always be so proud."

Ru Yue said seriously, "You can't just protect the face, you have to protect the whole person. If it's missing arms and legs, it will definitely be incomplete."

Chu Ning'an nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I will definitely protect myself well. When this matter is over, we will get married."

Seeing that his mood had improved, Ru Yue stopped talking and turned to the people around her, both openly and secretly, and gave a wink, indicating that everyone should set off together.

So, the group rode their horses at full speed and galloped all the way, finally arriving near the camp outside the capital at dawn.

After arriving at the destination, Ru Yue suddenly said to herself, "An Yi, give me the second prince's underwear that you got earlier."

Before he finished speaking, a snow-white men's undershirt was seen as if held up by an invisible hand, slowly floating down in front of Ru Yue's horse.

Seeing this, Ru Yue was secretly delighted. With a thought, Xuanwu appeared in the space as if by telepathy. Ru Yue whispered to Xuanwu, "Xuanwu, can you find the owner of this piece of clothing?"

Xuanwu seemed to be very familiar with this kind of thing. It immediately replied: "Don't worry, young master, I know what to do."

Xuanwu's thought flashed through his mind, and a small black snake quietly poked its head out from Ruyue's sleeve.

The little snake was completely black, with only a pair of eyes flashing a faint red light. It gently spit out its tongue, and its ingratiating appearance made people feel pity for it.

Ru Yue held the little snake carefully in her palm, as if it were a precious treasure.

Her movements were gentle and cautious, for fear of waking the little black snake.

At the same time, she also put the white undershirt on her wrist. The undershirt was soft and white as snow, forming a sharp contrast with the little black snake.

The little black snake seemed to have developed a strong interest in the undershirt. It followed Ru Yue's hand and slowly crawled onto the undershirt. Its body was flexible and agile, like a black lightning bolt, it slithered across the white undershirt.

The little black snake's movements were graceful and smooth, and its scales shimmered faintly in the sunlight, giving people a mysterious and charming feeling. Ru Yue quietly watched the little black snake crawling on her clothes, her heart filled with curiosity and joy.

Not long after, the figure slipped into the dense woods as fast as lightning and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Let’s talk about Blind Tang and the Prince. They arrived near the camp outside the capital earlier than Ru Yue.

Unaware of the true attitude of Li Jing, the commander of the Beijing suburban camp, they did not dare to approach rashly, fearing that they would cause unnecessary trouble.

After some searching, they found an extremely secluded place near the camp, where they lay in ambush quietly, patiently waiting for the news that Ru Yue would bring back.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour passed in a flash. But the little black snake returned to Ru Yue's hands silently like a ghost.

"Chu Ning'an, I've already found out everything," Ru Yue said softly. "The Second Prince is indeed in the camp outside the capital, but he's neither a guest of Li Jing nor a prisoner. He's under house arrest."

Upon hearing this news, Chu Ning'an couldn't help but feel stunned.

He originally thought that the second prince was either being warmly received by Li Jing or had become a prisoner, but he never expected that this would be the case.

However, Chu Ning'an knew full well that time was of the essence and he could not afford to delay even a little. Therefore, he made a decisive decision without hesitation and immediately met with the Crown Prince and the others to discuss the next course of action.

After hearing Chu Ning'an's words, Blind Tang couldn't help but frown and look embarrassed.

Li Jing's attitude was so vague and confusing that it put them in a dilemma.

After all, the prince entered the military camp holding a letter from Emperor Mingde. If Li Jing had ill intentions and set a trap, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Blind Tang knew very well that although he was a skilled martial artist, it was almost impossible for him to take a living person away in front of 50,000 soldiers.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn for a moment.

After a long while, Chu Ning'an suddenly broke the silence. His voice was firm and powerful: "Your Majesty and Marquis Wu'an are trapped in the palace right now to buy us time. We must not shrink back because of this!"

His words were like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Chu Ning'an then said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, I am willing to accompany Mr. Tang and my guards into the military camp to meet Li Jing. If he obeys orders and dispatches troops after seeing the letter, then everything will be fine. However, if he has already harbored other intentions, he will probably not dare to attack me easily because he cannot see you."

Everyone understood that what Chu Ning'an said was indeed the best solution at the moment, but by doing this, Chu Ning'an would undoubtedly put himself in an extremely dangerous situation.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Ru Yue suddenly said, "I'll go with you."

Her words surprised everyone and they all looked at her.

Ru Yue continued with a determined look, "I carry a lot of drugs with me. If anything unusual happens in the camp, I can use them to help buy time."

Blind Tang immediately objected, "Young Master and I are entering the camp together. Even if we encounter danger, with our skills, we might be able to break through. But you don't know martial arts. In the face of a massive army, that little bit of drug won't be effective!"

Of course Ru Yue knew that Blind Tang was doing this for her own good, but she had her own thoughts in her mind - who in this world was better at hiding than her?

The presence of space was like possessing an indestructible shield, and no one could inflict any substantial harm on her. Furthermore, the powerful Suzaku and Xuanwu would definitely not allow her to encounter any misfortune.

Chu Ning'an stared at Ru Yue quietly, as if her figure could penetrate the constraints of time and space. At this moment, he suddenly said, "Princess Xihe's words are not without reason. Perhaps having her accompany me would be a good choice."

This statement shocked everyone present, especially the Crown Prince, who knew very well how much Chu Ning'an cherished Ru Yue.

However, at this moment Chu Ning'an actually took the initiative to suggest that Ru Yue go with him, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

The prince couldn't help but think to himself that since Chu Ning'an had made such a decision, he must have a full grasp of this trip. Furthermore, with Ru Yue's strength, while her contribution to the entire trip might be limited, she shouldn't have any problem protecting herself. Thinking of this, the prince finally nodded.
