After whispering a few more comforting words, Doctor Shen opened the door and walked out of the toilet.
The person who was standing outside with the knife had already checked the inside of the toilet. Now that he saw Doctor Shen come out, he only went back to the room upstairs with Doctor Shen and did not go into the toilet to check if anything was left behind.
Jiang Yue only came out of the toilet when she heard no more footsteps.
Jiang Yue did not take the stairs in front and directly climbed back to her room from the back. Xue Yan was waiting for her in the room, so she told Xue Yan what Doctor Shen had said.
The next day, the three of them brought Doctor Shen back to Changyu.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had already sent the secret guards to follow them on the way from Xinyuan County to Changyu. In other words, as long as those three people were going to Changyu, they would be under their control and nothing would happen. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry to stay ahead of those three people.
They stayed quite far behind, in case the three of them realized that they were following them.
This time, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu did not ride horses anymore. The three of them sat in the same carriage. A Cloud Guard, who had never shown his face before, sat outside and drove the carriage.
The Cloud Guards wore rugged clothes and looked no different from ordinary coachmen.
The carriage looked very ordinary.
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu had also changed into very ordinary clothes. They never opened the carriage curtains and looked outside. No one felt that something was wrong. They all thought that they were ordinary people.
Unknowingly, ten days had pa.s.sed. Looking ahead, they finally pa.s.sed Jingyue.
Jingyue was worthy of being a rich land — carriages and streams of people poured in and out of the place. Because of the previous matter, even if Xue Yan withdrew the hidden guards, security was just as tight.
He wasn’t guarding against Xue Yan, but against others, especially against Prince Weimin. Prince Weimin wanted to kill Princess Jin, and Prince Ying loved his daughter dearly. He couldn’t tolerate this intention. Those who had wanted to kill Princess Jin had died in prison. They hadn’t said anything, so they couldn’t punish Prince Weimin for his actions. Prince Ying was also at loggerheads with Prince Weimin and was determined to kill him.
Prince Ying had already given the order that no one from Prince Weimin’s fief was allowed to enter Jingyue. At the same time, regardless of whether it was the people and carriages entering or leaving Jingyue, they would all be investigated.
Da Ling knew that Prince Ying and Prince Weimin were enemies, so everyone was used to Prince Ying treating his place like this.
Prince Ying’s fief was vast and steady, and he had a strong army. He was also the most senior person in the capital, so he dared to issue such an order so brazenly and willfully. Prince Weimin was weak, so he wouldn’t dare to do so. However, he secretly had all the entrances and exits of his fief be guarded in secret, especially those brought in by Jingyue.
Emperor Hao knew about this matter early on, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Otherwise, Prince Ying and Prince Weimin wouldn’t have fought openly and covertly for so many years. Furthermore, Prince Ying hated Prince Weimin to the core. Even if he no longer had any disloyal thoughts, he would never listen to Emperor Hao and let Prince Weimin go. Even if he showed that he listened… Secretly… he would do everything he could to kill Prince Weimin. Prince Weimin was the same. On the surface, he would listen to Emperor Hao, but in reality, he would do whatever he wanted in private.
Moreover, Prince Weimin was extremely ambitious and was the most disloyal person Xue Yan knew. Right now, his influence was not big enough. Once he rebelled, it would end in his death. That was why he did not rebel. In the future, his influence would grow even stronger. He would become stronger and it was very likely that he would no longer bow down to the Emperor.
