NOVPUBZhang San truly did not know the answer. Shen Roujia looked at the crowd of people in black; she couldn’t even distinguish between those from the Hidden Pavilion and those from the Martial Alliance.
There was no time for sentiment. Shen Roujia thought of Xu Zening—who knew what he would do at a time like this? He must not lose hope and take his own life.
With this in mind, Shen Roujia turned to the Hidden Pavilion member nearby and said, “Please place this in the Crown Prince’s study for me.”
She handed over a jade pendant, then added the last silver hairpin from her head.
“Go now.”
The man in black nodded with a stern face and replied, “Yes.”
As soon as the Martial Alliance members saw Shen Roujia emerge, they rushed inside with a sack.
The Martial Alliance members were all from the martial world, each wearing different clothes and wielding various weapons, like a group of gathered heroes.
A bearded man with a cheerful smile approached.
“You must be Miss Jiao Niang. Our Alliance Leader has gone to great lengths for you, even risking offense to the Emperor. After this, you should come with us to the Martial Alliance for a while.”
Shen Roujia frowned. When did this get so entangled with the Martial Alliance?
She didn’t even know who this Alliance Leader was.
Without waiting for an answer, Zhang San quietly said, “Actually, our Hidden Pavilion has been trying to establish a partnership with the Martial Alliance for years. The Martial Alliance, which spans the country, is far safer than the capital.”
Shen Roujia glanced at the silent Imperial Prison and at the guards who had long since collapsed, realizing for the first time that the people inside the palace were quite ordinary after all.
Her eyes sparkled with a sudden idea, and she smiled brightly. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, brave warrior.”
The Martial Alliance members burst into hearty laughter. “Alright, once the Miss is ready, you can come with us to the Martial Alliance.”
Shen Roujia gazed at the Eastern Palace from afar. Perhaps there would be many regrets left behind.
What would Xu Zening do once he learned the truth?
According to Xu Lianggen, he would bring Rong Shuyao back again, but knowing Xu Zening, he would surely uncover the truth.
Oh well, it was time to move on.
