She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

Yi Lan's pupils suddenly dilated. "Do you know what you're saying?!"

She didn't believe Lu Huan was unaware that these secret guards, ostensibly protecting the prince, were actually there to monitor him.

Lu Huan walked to the window, opened it, and looked down.

Yi Lan didn't follow, but subconsciously hid in the shadows.

Lu Huan seemed to be talking to himself.

"The northern border defense line of the Dai Viet Dynasty stretches for more than a thousand miles, and is guarded by four vassal kings. In fact, they have been in their vassal states for a full ten years."

Even if those secret guards were loyal to His Majesty back then, what about ten years later?

Yi Lan gritted her teeth, her facial muscles bulging slightly.

"I will report what you said to His Majesty! But Madam Lu, don't you know too much? You're not like an ordinary rich young lady at all."

Lu Huan confirmed that the person downstairs had seen her face clearly, and then closed the window again.

"And then what? Wait another ten years? What about Yifeng and Yichen? Go back to the garrison to train new recruits?"

Yi Lan pursed her lips and remained silent.

She knew all too well what would happen if these bodyguards were replaced.

To be able to live a peaceful and uneventful life until death is considered a good end.

When Gao Yan returned with the waiter, he only saw Lu Huan sitting at the table.

A piercing gaze came from the shadows.

The waiter was so focused on introducing the restaurant's signature dishes to Lu Huan that he completely missed Yi Lan, who was hiding in the shadows.

Lu Huan ordered five or six of the restaurant's signature dishes.

Noticing that she wanted to order a few more dishes, the waiter advised, "Madam, the portions in our restaurant are quite large. You've already ordered five dishes and a soup!"

Lu Huan glanced at Yi Lan and said, "It's alright, we both have big appetites, we can finish it. Then let's order another one of your restaurant's signature mandarin fish!"

"okay!"

As the waiter turned to close the door, he glanced at Lu Huan and Gao Yan one last time. These two didn't seem like they could eat much!

Before long, all the dishes they ordered were served.

Lu Huan said in the direction where Yi Lan was hiding, "Come out and eat something! If you get kidnapped, who knows how long you'll have to go hungry!"

Gao Yan chimed in, "Yes, there's no need to be so formal. Huan'er has included you in her list too!"

Yi Lan emerged from the shadows, her face displaying a complex expression.

Why do you want our loyalty?

Gao Yan was completely bewildered. He looked at Lu Huan and silently asked, "What's going on this time?"

Lu Huan gave a brief explanation and laughed, "Is it hard to guess? I think the same thing those vassal kings are thinking."

I don't want my daily actions to be monitored and reported to the Emperor.

Once they arrive in Jinling, Lu Huan will begin investigating the case from back then.

She certainly didn't want her every move to be under the watchful eyes of others.

In particular, she also possesses the great secret of a spatial dimension.

She will definitely take out the gold from the space using a plausible excuse.

It may not be noticeable in the short term, but over time it will inevitably be noticed.

Who knows if His Majesty has any spies around him?

If the news leaks out, she could very well end up like her maternal grandfather.

Having been given a second chance at life, she didn't want to die so soon.

Gao Yan knew that after Lu Huan went to Jinling, he would definitely want to find out exactly what happened back then.

His Majesty is always decisive and efficient. If he misunderstands and thinks that Lu Huan wants to interfere in court affairs or has some dissatisfaction with the court, he may be in danger of losing his life.

Gao Yan absolutely will not allow Lu Huan to be in any danger!

He held his wife's hand and said firmly, "This is also my idea."

Yi Lan thought for a while before speaking: "Alright, I will not inform His Majesty about your daily life or who you meet, unless you commit an unforgivable crime like treason."

A slight smile played on her lips, and she quickly added, "Of course, that's assuming you can win."

Lu Huan picked up the teacup in front of him. "Then I'll toast you with tea instead of wine, wishing you a pleasant cooperation!"

Yilan also picked up her teacup.

She was eager to see if those people would actually do what Lu Huan had predicted.

As one of the top bodyguards in the secret guard camp, she certainly didn't want the master she was following to be an incompetent fool.

The three of them quickly devoured all the dishes on the table.

Of course, Gao Yan and Lu Huan ate more heartily.

Yi Lan looked at the two of them, one picking up a piece of fish bone for her while the other picked out fish bones, and for some reason, she couldn't eat anymore.

"Mrs. Lu, when will we switch?"

Before Lu Huan could say anything, Gao Yan became somewhat displeased.

"You should address her as Madam, or Madam Gao. What does 'Madam Lu' even mean?"

Lu Huan patted his hand, indicating that she didn't mind, "Ayan, your father... cough, we don't know what your father's attitude is yet, so it's not wrong for her to call me Madam Lu."

She then said to Yilan, "If you've finished eating, you can go change your clothes now. Once you step out of this private room, you will be me."

Yi Lan nodded, not wanting to waste a moment, and immediately stood up.

But after she changed her clothes and came out of the inner room, Lu Huan looked her up and down and shook his head.

“Although you have disguised yourself carefully, Lu Ruyi knows me too well. She will definitely see through your disguise.”

Yi Lan didn't understand why Lu Huan was so confident.

Why are you so sure that Lu Ruyi will be nearby?

Why else could it be? She and Lu Ruyi had already formed a feud spanning two lifetimes.

If she didn't know more about Lu Ruyi, wouldn't she be tricked again?

However, Lu Huan didn't need to explain so much to her. "You don't need to worry about that. Once Lu Ruyi appears, you can gracefully retire!"

"Oh, by the way, this is an aphrodisiac, colorless and odorless. You can give her a little."

Afterwards, Lu Huan borrowed the disguise tools that Yi Lan had brought and, based on her own eyebrows and facial features, helped her fix her makeup.

"that's it!"

Lu Huan turned Yi Lan's shoulder and asked Gao Yan, "Ayan, look at us, do we look alike?"

Gao Yan was somewhat stunned when he first saw the two Lu Huans in front of him.

But he quickly noticed the difference.

The Lu Huan in the back is more lively, and her skin is more delicate.

But that was enough to fool those outsiders.

He pointed to the one behind him and said, "She does look quite like me, but you can't fool me, you're my wife!"

Yilan: I think I ate too much just now, I feel a bit full.

Gao Yan added, "We'll go out together in a bit, just hold onto my sleeve."

The implication is clear: don't even think about holding my hand!

Lu Huan thought Gao Yan was extremely cute, but now was not the time for romance.

She instructed the two of them: "Ayan, call the waiter over to settle the bill. Yilan, from this moment on, you are mine."

"Leave the private room immediately, and under the pretext of changing clothes, take a stroll in the backyard."

Yi Lan didn't understand Lu Huan's intentions, but she left the private room as requested.

Gao Yan felt they were acting, and asked with great interest, "Huan'er, what about me? What should I do?"

"Just wait here. If she hasn't returned after half an incense stick's time, you can start calling for help!"
