Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

"We'll discuss this matter later." This was the voice of Eunuch An.

Hearing the voice, the man immediately knelt down and nodded repeatedly in an extremely humble manner.

Eunuch An gently unfolded the seemingly ordinary letter. The paper was plain, but when his eyes fell on the letter, he found that the content was short but meaningful:

"Eunuch An, there's no need to worry. It's me. I'm still alive. I was taken after the fire, but I've managed to escape and am safe for now. However, I'm deeply concerned about being pursued, and even more so, I've found a secret place to hide. I sent a message because I was worried no one would know I was still alive. I didn't know who was trying to harm me in the capital, so I didn't dare send anyone easily. The enclosure is also fraught with danger, but the message had to be delivered. Therefore, I didn't tell the messenger my whereabouts, only asking him to help pass on the message. I only trust you. The fear of being harmed terrifies me, but fortunately, my unborn child is safe. I was close to death several times along the way... I really don't know how I escaped."

"Empress Liang..." Eunuch An muttered to himself, his heart swirling with mixed emotions. This letter undoubtedly confirmed his deepest fears, but fortunately, she was still alive.

Thinking of this, Eunuch An's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his eyes became moist. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down so that others wouldn't notice.

After a moment, he slowly said: "Okay, I understand. You did a good job, really good." As he said that, he folded the letter and put it away carefully, not letting anyone see the contents of the letter.

He turned to look at the man and praised him repeatedly: "You did a great job! You've worked hard all the way! It's all thanks to you."

The man was a little overwhelmed by the compliment and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He stammered and tried to speak, but stopped.

The guard couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch An, what exactly is written in the letter?"

Eunuch An glanced at him and smiled faintly: "This matter is of great importance. The fewer people who know about it, the better. The other party does have an urgent matter to ask for, and I know that person. Don't worry, there is nothing else."

After hearing this, the guard still had doubts in his heart, but he did not ask any more questions.

Eunuch An then instructed, "Take this warrior to rest. Prepare some food and drink, and satisfy him with whatever he desires. I will go see him after I finish the matters at hand."

The guard took his orders and left the room with the man. Although the man still had many questions and expected benefits that had not yet been realized, he had no choice but to follow the guard and leave, thinking that he would have food and drink.

After they left, a thoughtful look crossed Eunuch An's face. He murmured to himself, "Your Majesty has been longing for this letter. If it had arrived sooner, Your Majesty might not have to travel so far to find Concubine Liang. Now, I only hope Your Majesty will return soon to hear this good news."

Thinking of this, Eunuch An decided to send someone to inform the emperor immediately. He knew the importance of this letter and understood how much Concubine Liang's trust meant to him. He secretly thanked himself for being literate, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to read Concubine Liang's handwritten letter.

Meanwhile, the man, led by his guards, was taken to a comfortable room. He sat at the table, looking at the delicious food before him, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. After such a long journey, he could finally rest a little.

However, just as he was about to enjoy the meal, the guard suddenly asked, "Where are you from? How did they find you? Besides this letter, did they say anything else?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, then replied, "I'm from a town not far from the enclosure. They found me there."

The guard nodded at this, wondering in his heart if what the man said was true.

After hearing the news, Eunuch An fell into deep thought. He thought of Concubine Liang's letter about her escape experience, and how she might be afraid to show up because she was afraid of being discovered.

He guessed that Concubine Liang might have found a man to help deliver the letter, perhaps because she and Chunmei were both women, and it would be easy to attract attention if they came forward to deliver the letter.

Thinking of Chunmei, Eunuch An couldn't help but feel even more worried. He didn't know if Chunmei was also with Concubine Liang, and if she was also safe. But thinking of the tone and description in Concubine Liang's letter, he believed that they must be fine.

At this moment, the guard's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Eunuch An, the man who delivered the letter said that he only saw one man handing him the letter."

Eunuch An was stunned when he heard this, but then he understood. He guessed that the man might be the helper that Concubine Liang had sent. He nodded and said to the guards, "I understand. Keep an eye on his movements and report anything immediately."

The guards took their orders and left, while Eunuch An fell into deep thought again. He was thinking about how to tell the emperor the news as soon as possible, and how to ensure the safety of Concubine Liang.

Eunuch An waved his sleeves lightly and said briefly and forcefully, "Go." After the figure disappeared from his sight, he slowly turned around and returned to the dragon tent with steady steps.

Not long after, a servant hurried in and whispered a few words to Eunuch An.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch An frowned slightly, and then called another confidant over. When the confidant came closer, he whispered to him about an extraordinary matter - not only was Concubine Liang safe and sound, but she also specially sent a letter.

"Empress Liang?" The servant's face flashed with surprise when he heard this. It was obvious that he had not expected such news.

Eunuch An shook his head slightly, his voice grave, "This is not the time to discuss in detail."

He carefully pulled the precious letter from his sleeve and handed it to the attendant for examination. After carefully examining it, the attendant finally confirmed it without a doubt: "It is indeed the handwriting of Concubine Liang."

However, faced with this sudden good news, the servant fell silent, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Eunuch An had a plan in mind. He ordered his attendants to quickly inform the Emperor of this exciting news. The Emperor had been extremely worried about Concubine Liang's disappearance and would be relieved to know that she was still safe.

But where exactly is Concubine Liang? And how can we find her? All of this remains unknown.

In the letter, Concubine Liang did not reveal her whereabouts, but only implicitly expressed that she was still alive, which shows her level of caution. The messenger also did not know Concubine Liang's exact whereabouts, and the search was undoubtedly full of difficulties and dangers.

Perhaps, we can only hope that Concubine Liang can send news again. Then, all the mysteries may be solved.

The attendant took his orders and left, and the dragon tent returned to its former tranquility. Eunuch An stood alone in the tent, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

At the same time, news about Concubine Liang began to spread in certain corners of the palace. People asked about it, but in the end they found nothing.

In a blink of an eye, night falls.

Eunuch An decided to personally meet the messenger to express his gratitude. When he entered the humble residence, he saw the messenger leisurely enjoying a sumptuous dinner. The table was filled with various delicacies, all of which were treasures from the palace.

The man seemed to have noticed his changes. He not only changed into clean clothes, but also took a shower, looking refreshed.

"What do you need?" Eunuch An's voice was gentle but powerful. He knew the importance of this messenger in this incident. "Silver? Or something else?"

The messenger's face flashed with nervousness when he heard this. He replied cautiously, "Silver is of course good, but if there are other good things, I won't refuse them either."

Upon seeing this, Eunuch An smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have done a great job in delivering the letter this time. I will grant you whatever you want." After that, he clapped his hands lightly, and the servants who had been prepared came in one after another, holding glittering gold and dazzling jewels in their hands.

The messenger's eyes lit up instantly. He stared at the wealth in front of him and was speechless for a long time.

Eunuch An couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "If you see the person who gave you the letter again, or if you have any new news, remember to tell me." He said this casually, after all, there was no one else present at the moment.

"I understand." The messenger nodded repeatedly, his expression still obsessed with the wealth before him. If he could get such a generous reward every time he delivered a letter, he would be willing to serve anyone.

Seeing this, Eunuch An said no more and ordered his servants to take good care of the messenger and send him off after he had rested. Before leaving, the messenger once again stared at the gold and jewels, his eyes filled with greed and reluctance.

"These are all yours. Keep them safe. You can look at them and use them however you like in the future," Eunuch An said earnestly. "If you're worried about the safety of the journey, I can send someone to escort you all the way to town."

The messenger burst into tears of gratitude, offering countless thanks. Eunuch An turned and left, still plotting his next move. He strolled through the night, and before he reached the dragon tent, he saw a guard hurriedly approaching.

"Eunuch An." There was a hint of urgency in the guard's voice.

"Why are you so flustered?" Eunuch An stopped and asked casually.

"The emperor is here." The guard's answer was brief and powerful.

"Your Majesty? Which emperor?" Eunuch An was stunned when he heard this and looked up at the guards.

Upon seeing this, the guard quickly explained, "It's our emperor. He has been searching for Consort Liang but to no avail, so he sent me here to ask Eunuch An if he has any news about her."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch An suddenly understood. He had assumed he had already sent someone to inform the Emperor, and that the Emperor would only send someone to inquire after learning the news. He had never imagined that the Emperor had never heard of Concubine Liang.

"Empress Liang?" Eunuch An pondered for a moment, finally deciding to inform the guards of the letter he had just received. "I just received a letter from the Empress, but her whereabouts remain a mystery."

After learning that the emperor was waiting for news outside the enclosure, Eunuch An felt an urge in his heart and was eager to report the good news to the emperor in person.

However, reason told him that it was not appropriate to act rashly at this moment.

-

Outside the enclosure, the night was as dark as ink, and the wind was biting cold. Murong Shuo stood quietly on his horse, as if searching for something. He was worried about Concubine Liang's safety. He had traveled all the way, exhausted, but still could not find any trace of her.

At this moment, the guards he sent out had returned and brought news about Eunuch An.
