Chapter 88 Protect her
Time seemed to stand still, and it was not until a long time later that the noise in the hall gradually subsided.
Song Yanyi stood among the debris on the ground, gasping for breath, looking around with gloomy eyes. His usually handsome face looked particularly terrifying at this moment.
His lips were tightly pressed into a line, his thoughts were like a tangled mess, and he couldn't find the starting point of the clue.
How did Song Yanchen, the man he had always regarded as his defeated opponent, suddenly come up with a plan that even he had never thought of?
Looking back on the past, all those defense strategies to consolidate the border were the result of him and Cui Rong staying up late to think hard and carefully consider every word.
It was precisely because of these achievements that the emperor valued him more and more, allowing him to always have the upper hand in the power struggle with Song Yanchen.
However, times have changed, and now Song Yanchen has gone one step ahead of him and presented the carefully planned strategy to the emperor!
Originally, he planned to use this opportunity to ask the emperor to lift the house arrest order against him, but he didn't expect that this rare chance to turn things around would slip through his fingers.
Song Yanyi forced himself to calm down. He absolutely did not believe that Song Yanchen had the ability to plan all this independently.
After pondering for a moment, a thought flashed through his mind - could it be that Wen Yinyang was giving Song Yanchen advice behind the scenes?
But he quickly rejected this idea.
After all, in his memories of his previous life, Wen Yinyang had always been a chess piece in his hands. Although this man was extremely intelligent, he was more concerned about the interests of the country and the safety of the people, and he did not have any unique insights into border affairs.
In comparison, Cui Rong is the key figure.
Thinking of this, Song Yanyi unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.
Recently, Cui Rongrong and Song Yanchen seem to be interacting more frequently. Could it be that she is the real source of this plan?
Without giving it time to think, Song Yanyi immediately summoned the secret guards who were responsible for monitoring Cui Rongrong. His voice was as cold as the winter wind: "Who has Miss Cui been in contact with recently? Tell me in detail."
Feng Yang was shocked when he heard this, but he tried to stay calm and replied, "Your Highness, Miss Cui has been out recently, and apart from meeting with Miss Zhao and the Queen, there was nothing else."
"you sure?"
"Yes."
Feng Yang assured in a deep voice: "According to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have closely monitored Miss Cui's whereabouts and found nothing unusual."
Song Yanyi looked at him sharply and said coldly, "You should know the consequences of betraying me, right?"
As if he could see through everything,
"I am loyal to Your Highness the Crown Prince and have no ulterior motives. Please understand this!" Feng Yang said as he suddenly knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.
Song Yanyi frowned in dissatisfaction: "I don't want such a high-sounding answer. I suspect that she has secretly met with someone in private, and you didn't notice it. Now, I order you to find out the truth."
"I need to know about every person she meets, understand?"
Feng Yang nodded vigorously: "My subordinates will act immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared into the shadow of the hall.
A complicated light flashed in Song Yanyi's eyes. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and ordered lightly, "Follow him closely."
"As ordered."
As the night deepened, Cui Rongrong was talking in low voices with her sister Cui Yunhe in the house, when suddenly, a slight noise was heard from the roof.
Her expression remained unchanged and she continued to chat and laugh with Cui Yunhe. After a while, she signaled her sister to go to bed early.
Cui Yunhe nodded obediently, "Sister should also rest early and don't overwork yourself."
"Don't worry." Cui Rongrong responded gently.
After watching Cui Yunhe return to the room, her face instantly became extremely cold, "Tianlang, go and deal with that stalker."
"As ordered!"
As Tianlang finished his words, the sound of fierce fighting was heard from the roof.
Cui Rong put on her outer robe, slowly walked outside, and looked up at the roof illuminated by the moonlight.
At this time, Tianlang and Zhao Lin were fighting fiercely with the secret guards sent by Song Yanyi. The other side was outnumbered and soon fell into a disadvantage.
The secret guard caught a glimpse of Cui Rong below from the corner of his eye, his face changed slightly, and he was about to turn around and flee, but was stopped by Cui Rong's cold voice: "Since it is not easy to capture him alive, then bring him back dead!"
Upon hearing this, the secret guard deliberately revealed his flaw. Tianlang seized the opportunity and defeated the secret guard with one move.
Tianlang and Zhao Lin brought the secret guard in front of Cui Rong, only to see that man's cheeks twitching slightly, as if something was wrong.
Cui Rong was quick to move and reached out to remove his jaw, preventing his possible suicide attempt.
"Don't even think about committing suicide by taking poison, Tianlang. Take him away for questioning."
"Yes." Tianlang responded and executed the order neatly.
Zhao Lin's eyes closely followed Tianlang's figure that gradually disappeared into the night, until he could no longer catch any trace of him. He slowly turned his head and met Cui Rong's deep eyes. There was a bit of disbelief in his tone: "It is really unexpected that someone would dare to be so presumptuous and invade your private area with ill intentions."
He paused for a moment, observing Cui Rongrong's reaction, and then continued, "I noticed that although Tianlang is a skilled martial artist, it seems a bit difficult for him to protect your safety alone. Perhaps, I can request to return here and fight alongside Tianlang in case a similar incident happens again. It is always safer for the three of us to work together than to fight alone, and we can ensure your safety in all aspects."
Cui Ronghearing this, a faint smile appeared on her lips: "If you really want, I can naturally arrange for you to be transferred back from Yunhe and stationed here. Moreover, even if there is a next time, at least you can buy me precious time."
When Zhao Lin first heard this, his heart was shocked.
He had never expected that after finally being freed from the boring goalkeeping duties, he would now have to reconsider returning.
He pursed his lips, his eyes firm: "It is an honor for me, Zhao Lin, to be trusted by the young lady. Even if I cannot be on the same level as Tianlang, next time, no matter who dares to offend, Tianlang and I will join forces to bring those villains to justice."
Cui Rongrong had an unfathomable smile on her face: "Okay, you can leave first. I'm afraid that the turmoil tonight indicates unrest in the near future. I am also very concerned about Yunhe. You must ensure that she is safe."
"As you command," Zhao Lin replied respectfully, then his figure flashed and disappeared silently into the darkness.
Cui Rong retracted her gaze and walked into the house. She went straight to the window and gently pushed it open. She saw Feng Yang standing outside the window with a nervous and anxious look on his face. "I didn't know that His Royal Highness sent someone to follow me. Miss, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
