Chapter 129 The Golden Scale Guards Left Behind by the Late Emperor

Lu Youtang's words shocked everyone in the tent except Lu Yang.

They had not forgotten that the first time the capital sent someone to rob and kill them, it was for Princess Shunyu. Could it be that Yuan'er was sent by someone in the capital to get close to Princess Shunyu?

After Lu Yang took Lu Youtang away from the tent, they all looked at Lu Qing, "Father, this matter is probably not simple."

Lu Qing naturally understood the crux of the matter. Now the Lu family and Princess Shunyu were in the same boat. If the Lu family wanted to make a comeback in the future, they would have to rely on the princess's name. If anything happened to the princess, it would only harm their Lu family and not benefit them.

If this Yuan'er was really sent from the capital, then she cannot be kept.

Lu Qing's eyes darkened slightly. "Give orders to keep an eye on her for the next two days. If she makes any move, arrest her immediately."

"Yes, son, I'll do it right away."

That night, Shunyu couldn't sleep at all. He tossed and turned, his mind full of what the girl said when she came to see him.

More than an hour ago, Lu Xingyao distributed the fairy wands, and Lu Youtang took the things to find Lu Xingyan to light them, and finally allowed Yuan'er to find an opportunity to get close to Shunyu and talk to her alone.

At that time, Shunyu was looking for a secluded place to read a book, and Yuan'er suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of her with an extremely respectful attitude.

"I am Ming Yuan, the Jinlin Guard, and I am here to see Your Highness!"

Shunyu was startled and stood up suddenly, staring at Yuan'er in front of him, "!?"

She was familiar with the three words "Golden Scale Guards". Her father had mentioned them many times when he was alive. The Golden Scale Guards were the emperor's personal guards. Every year, they would select boys of appropriate age to enter the camp for training. They would be loyal to the emperor for life, control the world, act in secret, and use decisive and ruthless means. They were once a powerful weapon for her father to intimidate the court and the public.

But as early as when my father appointed the crown prince, he had already abolished the Golden Scale Guard, and this was something known to everyone in the court and the country.

Shunyu stared at Mingyuan in front of him, feeling a little nervous, but pretending to be calm on the surface, "The Golden Scale Guard has been abolished long ago. Who are you and why are you pretending to be a Golden Scale Guard?!"

Ming Yuan took out a dragon-patterned token from his bosom and showed it to Shunyu, "Your Highness, the late emperor abolished the Golden Scale Guards on the surface, but in fact he ordered us to stand by in secret and obey the two masters of the Golden Scale Guards."

Shunyu was slightly stunned and subconsciously touched her chest. She was familiar with the dragon-patterned token in the other party's hand. Except for the size, it looked exactly the same as the one her father gave her. Now it was hanging around her neck.

But she still didn't understand, if the Golden Scale Guard had not been abolished and should have been loyal to the emperor, why did they appear in front of her?

She even suspected that this person was the one sent by the capital to deceive her.

Seeing the suspicion in Shunyu's eyes, Ming Yuan said, "The late emperor once ordered that if the new emperor treats Your Highness well, the Golden Scale Guard will be abolished after ten years. If the new emperor persecutes Your Highness, the Golden Scale Guard will be loyal to Your Highness, obey Your Highness' orders, and protect Your Highness!"

As she spoke, she took out another letter from her bosom and handed it to Shunyu respectfully, "Your Highness, this is a handwritten letter left by the late emperor. Please open it yourself."

At this moment, Shunyu's hands were shaking. She took the letter, opened it, and saw familiar words. The tone of the letter was just like the one her father spoke in her memory.

"My son Jingli, your father is getting weaker and weaker, but you are still young and still need to rely on your brother. It comforts me to see you two living in harmony. However, Zhan is vicious and is definitely not a good brother. I am afraid that his succession to the throne will be detrimental to you in the future. I am no longer alive and cannot guarantee your peace. The Golden Scale Guards are the personal guards of the emperor and are familiar with martial arts. Apart from this, I can't do anything else for you. My son, after reading this letter, may not be safe in the future. I hope my son can grow a pair of wings and fly high. If your father knows about this in the afterlife, he will be happy for your son."

Shunyu's eyes were blurred. She clutched the letter tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks onto the letter.

She never thought that her father would consider her so much. The Golden Scale Guard should have been taken over by Xiao Zhan, but her father gave it to his daughter for self-protection and did not even mention it.

If Xiao Zhan had not attacked him, the Golden Scale Guards would not have appeared, he and his siblings would have had a harmonious relationship, and the Golden Scale Guards would not have caused a rift between him and his siblings.

Once Xiao Zhan takes action, the Golden Scale Guard will be the weapon left to him by his father. How he uses this weapon depends entirely on himself.

Shunyu wiped the tears from her face, gently put the letter back into the envelope, and put it in her arms. She took a deep breath and looked at Mingyuan who was still kneeling in front of her, "You get up."

Ming Yuan then stood up and said, "Your Highness, we will arrive at Ji County the day after tomorrow. The left envoy of the Golden Scale Guard has brought people to guard there. They will help Your Highness escape from here. I hope Your Highness can leave with your subordinates. The Golden Scale Guard is waiting for you to return and take charge of the situation."

This time she came to follow the arrangement of the Left Envoy, to blend into the exile team and get close to the princess, waiting to help the princess escape from trouble one day.

Shunyu hesitated. He had already decided to stay with the Lu family. Now Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu were both teaching him. If he left the Lu family, it would be difficult to find such a good teacher in the world again.

She looked at Ming Yuan in front of her. Although she looked less than ten years old, she was entrusted with such an important task. This showed the ability of the Golden Scale Guard. If she left, Xiao Zhan might not send people to hunt her down again, and she would not implicate the Lu family and other innocent people.

After a while, she said slowly, "Let me think about it."

Ming Yuan immediately became anxious. There was not much time left. "Your Highness."

At this moment, Lu Youtang ran over and shouted from a distance, "Yuan'er!"

Ming Yuan's words were interrupted and she could only follow Lu Youtang. On the way, she looked back at Shunyu from time to time, fearing that she would insist on following the exile team to the north.

Shunyu slowly grasped the dragon-patterned token hanging on his body with a rope in front of him. It would be great if she could see her father again.

I must find a chance to talk to Mr. Lu about this matter. Perhaps, with the help of the Golden Scale Guards, I can take the Lu family away with me.

The next day, Shunyu was eating and found Mingyuan staring at him, "."

It's really too obvious.

Everyone in the Lu family also discovered it. The old man had already instructed that this little girl might have been sent from the capital and would do something bad to the little princess.

I never expected that such a little girl could be so vicious.

At noon, the team stopped to rest for a while. Shunyu took a few bites of dry biscuits and choked. Seeing this, Mingyuan immediately handed over his water bag.

The Lu family member next to him immediately grabbed it and said, "I'm thirsty! Thank you, little Miss Yuan'er."

Ming Yuan was silent for a moment, staring at the man, but she didn't see him drink the water. She guessed in her heart that the Lu family probably knew that she came for the princess.

She originally wanted to take the princess away quietly, but she was afraid that the Lu family would stop them after finding out.

The Golden Scale Guards naturally knew that the Lu family had a god. When facing a god, no matter how many people they had, they would not be a match.

The Left Envoy also ordered not to confront the Lu family.

But the current situation is really difficult to deal with.
