Yanfei pretended not to know anything and pointed to the place she just passed by. Siyan herself did not expect that this woman would save her for no reason.
"It's Yanfei, why are you still out at night?" A man's voice came over.
"Du Tong" the guard saluted a few times.
"Oh, it turns out to be Situ Dutong. Looking at this situation, something seems to have happened?" Yan Fei smiled and said.
"Capital, we didn't find anyone nearby just now. That's strange. We clearly saw someone coming this way..."
This man is Situ Jun, Situ Meier's brother. He was promoted to the capital just that night and was responsible for protecting the safety of the palace. He didn't expect that he would encounter an assassin the first time he took office. Naturally, he would not give up until he was caught.
"Have you searched them all?" Situ Jun asked the guard.
"We've searched them all, but we haven't searched that side yet." The guard pointed to the direction where Siyan started hiding in the grass.
"Report, there is no one over there" another person reported
Situ Jun's face was a little solemn. He didn't believe that the assassin would disappear out of thin air.
"Empress Yanfei, you seem to have just come from over there?" Situ Jun paid attention to Yanfei and the six palace maids following her.
Concubine Yan was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that Situ has suspected me. If so, please search them all so that I can be cleared..."
"Then I'll be offended." Situ Jun came over in person
"But... now King Chu is waiting for the soup that has just been boiled. If it gets cold later, I will have to trouble you all to explain it. You also know that King Chu must drink this soup before going to bed..."
Situ Jun was about to search, but was stopped by Yan Fei's words.
Siyan was hiding among the six maids. Because their skirts were longer and the light was darker at night, it was difficult to detect them. As long as Siyan squatted and followed them, she would be fine.
Situ Jun looked at several palace maids. They were indeed carrying soup. It seemed that he didn't notice anything strange.
"Feiyan, it's not very safe here. You'd better return to the palace as soon as possible. King Chu is still waiting for Tang. I was so offended just now. Please forgive me..."
Situ knew that this beautiful concubine was deeply favored by the King of Chu, so it was better to offend her.
