Chapter 142 Signaling
"Shadow guard?"

Song Qingan blinked and was stunned.

Zhu Yan nodded, and said: "Yes, the princess doesn't know, this shadow guard was trained by Mr. Lu."

Song Qingan looked down at Yupei, then said softly, "Grandfather?"

"Yes. The maidservant and elder brother...are both of them. But now, elder brother is considered the head of the shadow guards."

Zhu Yan spoke slowly, feeling her heart beating more and more heavily.A sense of comfort poured out of the secret, mixed with a little anxiety.

Song Qing'an gradually digested the matter, and asked after a moment of consideration: "Then what about the rest? Where are they all?"

"This... I don't know, only brother can contact them." Zhu Yan raised her eyes and looked at her carefully, "Brother and maid mentioned that only a letter can mobilize the shadow guards. So after returning to the capital, His Highness and brother ... have been looking for the signal."

Song Qing'an stroked the jade pendant thoughtfully for a while, feeling that the weight in his hand had become a little heavier.

Is it such an important thing?

Both fell silent, each thinking about something, only the gurgling of water.

Zhu Yan wanted to ask Song Qing'an how he found it, after all, this letter was not an ordinary thing, and it was possible that it was destroyed after it was lost.His Highness and brother have been fruitless for so many years, how could she easily find him?

Song Qing'an was thinking... Does Pei Qing know?

When he sent himself the signal that day, did he know its purpose?
And... if it was really taken by him in the palace, it happened to be after Emperor Liang fell ill...

It was hard for Song Qing'an not to doubt the coincidence.

"Princess……"

"Let's talk about it another day. This matter... don't tell your brother yet," Song Qingan paused for a while, then added, "Linyuan is the same."

What Zhuyan wanted to ask was blocked and she had no choice but to answer: "Yes."

Almost everything he wanted to know, Song Qing'an sent Zhu Yan out, sorting out his confused thoughts.

Zhu Yan also knew that there was nothing she needed for the time being, so she simply added some incense to the inner hall, picked out the wick, and went outside to breathe.

Just half a step over the threshold, the color of her eyes changed subtly for a moment.

Zhu Yan immediately calmed down and turned to the corner as usual.

"Brother."

When the arm was pulled by someone, Zhuyan let out a low cry, unable to tell whether it was joy or surprise.

Lin Yuan looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he asked in a low voice: "Is there anything unusual about the princess recently, who have you seen? What have you got?"

Zhuyan uncontrollably thought of the letter, but Song Qingan's order was still in his ears.She opened her mouth, but didn't utter a word.

"You know what, don't you?" Lin Yuan knew her very well, "Why hesitate, Your Highness and I will not harm the princess."

Zhu Yan secretly bit the tip of her tongue, and whispered: "Princess went to see Liu Cairen. It's just that we were all sent outside the palace, and we didn't hear anything."

Lin Yuan already knew this news from other people, so naturally he also knew that Zhu Yan's words were true.But that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

"What else?" Lin Yuan couldn't help speaking hastily, "What else did the princess tell you?"

"...No more, at most it's about the birthday party." Zhu Yan finally buried the secret of the letter in his heart and complained, "Brother, I'm the princess' maidservant, if the princess finds out that you come to ask me How can I deal with her whereabouts?"

Lin Yuan's tone was a little slow: "That's what His Highness meant. Your Highness and the princess are brothers and sisters, so the princess can naturally understand."

"Okay brother, don't come to me to ask these questions in the future." Zhu Yan frowned, "After all, Your Highness and the princess are two masters, since brother is loyal to His Highness, I should be loyal to the princess."

"Your Highness also wants to protect the princess..."

"Then if my brother and I ask about His Highness's news, will brother tell me?"

Lin Yuan was at a loss for words for a while, and said in a daze: "This is naturally different..."

"Okay brother, I should go back, the princess will become suspicious when it's late."

Zhu Yan patted the inconspicuous creases on the clothes, lifted the hem of the skirt and walked away quickly, leaving Lin Yuan where she was.

Lin Yuan wanted to call her back, but was afraid of attracting attention with his loud voice, so he silently watched her leave.

After a long time, he smiled wryly.

Both His Highness and him seem to be unable to figure out the little sister's mind anymore.
-
When Zhu Yan returned to the hall, Song Qing'an had already changed into her pajamas, and lit the candle with a stick of incense.

The jade pendant had been put away by her long ago and disappeared, Zhuyan obediently didn't ask any more questions, and stood aside waiting for orders.

Recently, the princess is very fond of lighting incense sticks, and she must light two or three sticks before going to bed.

Zhu Yan felt that the aroma was very familiar, but she couldn't recall what it was.

Song Qing'an lit the incense, turned around and saw that Zhu Yan had returned, he didn't ask her what she did, and only beckoned her to come over and comb her hair.

Seeing her nonchalant appearance, Zhu Yan felt even more uncertain.

"Princess...don't you blame the servant girl?"

Zhu Yan moved lightly, asking in a low voice.

"Blame you for what?"

Through the Linghua mirror, Song Qing'an could clearly see Zhuyan's expression, and naturally also saw the vague guilt on her face.

"The princess asked the servant girl to stop her, but the servant girl still told His Highness..."

"You talk about it." Song Qing'an curled his lips, picked up some cream with his fingertips and wiped it on his face, "What's wrong with you, let my brother find out...it's better than let Concubine Chen know. "

"Besides, isn't it all right in the end?"

Song Qing'an and Zhu Yan in the mirror winked narrowly, revealing the charm of a daughter's family: "You have done your duty, I have nothing to blame. As long as...you remember, never betray me, that's fine." gone."

When Song Qing'an said this, he spoke more and more slowly, and his tone was clearly still soft, but Zhu Yan felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Princess, from the day the servant entered the palace, the princess is the only master of the servant."

Zhu Yan's movements were still steady, Song Qing'an sighed comfortably, narrowed his eyes and said, "That's the best."

"Zhuyan, if I want you to kill brother, will you go?"

Zhuyan shook her hand, and the grate fell to the ground.It's just that the floor was covered with blankets, and the grate fell silently.

She fell to her knees in shock.

"I'm just talking casually. Get up quickly and what are you doing kneeling?"

Song Qing'an regained his brisk tone, but Zhu Yan's heart was still beating wildly.

"Elder brother is my only relative... How could I have such thoughts?" She blamed, stood up and walked to Zhuyan's side, and stretched out her hand to pull her up, "Why are you reacting so violently? Do you still take it seriously? gone?"

Zhu Yan let out a breath and said: "My servant dare not."

Song Qing'an also picked up the fallen comb and stuffed it into Zhu Yan's hands: "Don't think about it, just keep combing."

"Yes."

Zhu Yan responded with a muffled voice, and the two of them regained the tranquility just now.

It's just that Zhuyan couldn't help thinking, is the princess really just talking casually?
But that's His Highness... No matter what, the princess will never want to kill His Highness, right?

She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Song Qing'an in the mirror.The latter looked calm, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Song Qingan's heart was far less calm than her surface.

What did she just say...

Just because she knew that her brother had lied to her too much, for a moment... her mind was moved.

But that's the elder brother who loves her and protects her. How could she have such an idea?
Song Qing'an's breath was slightly uneven, and his heart shook.

She was shocked to find that she seemed to be becoming... the person she hated the most.
