NOVPUBAs Shen Roujia finished her thoughts, she began humming a tune and walked off in another direction.
However, a shadow silently flitted behind her.
Xu Shiyi covered his mouth and frowned as he watched Shen Roujia’s departing figure.
He turned to the young man beside him and said, “Send a carrier pigeon with this information back. As for that man, don’t inform His Highness just yet…”
The young man, who appeared to be a newcomer, nodded blankly. “Yes, Chief.”
Xu Shiyi, frustrated, smacked him on the head. “Why do you look so clueless? Our mission is to protect the lady.”
The young man was puzzled. “Why would His Highness go to such lengths for a woman accused of deceiving the emperor?”
Xu Shiyi smacked him on the head again. “You really are slow. Is this something you should be thinking about?”
The young man, now rubbing his head, muttered, “Chief, you’re making me dumber with all this hitting.”
Xu Shiyi stared at him, speechless. “Enough talking, let’s follow her.”
After returning, Shen Roujia hurriedly wrote down all the details and sent them off via carrier pigeon.
To be sure, she also went to Wei Rui and briefly summarized the situation to him.
Although Wei Rui didn’t fully grasp the details, he quickly arranged for members of the Martial Alliance to deliver the letters and evidence to the capital at top speed.
Only then did Shen Roujia feel a sense of relief. On the other hand, she also arranged for someone to send a message to the Divine Doctor’s Valley.
Shen Roujia hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly with everything she had handled.
When she went downstairs to eat, she overheard some men discussing grain requisition.
