Chapter 587 Take the initiative
Lu Yangyang's heart, which had been pounding all the way, finally settled down.
She pulled Sheng Yunjiao away, and then subconsciously placed her fingers on her wrist. Upon seeing this, Sheng Yunjiao quickly said, "I'm fine, really, I just suffered a little on the way."
After taking her pulse, Lu Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she was only slightly weakened and had no hidden injuries or poisoning. "On my way to Jinzhou, I passed through Huazhou Prefecture and met my second uncle and aunt. They were so worried that they grabbed the flower stamen and searched all the way here. Luckily, you're alright. Is this Sheng Yunzhu?"
Sheng Yunjiao's eyes widened: "Yangyang, you're amazing! How did you guess? You have no idea, when I saw her, I was completely stunned. She was like a completely different person, not at all like before!"
It really was her!
Lu Yangyang had a lot of questions to ask Sheng Yunjiao, but she was worried that this wasn't the right place to talk, so she hurriedly asked her, "Is it safe here? I have a lot to tell you, and I also need to ask you what happened?"
Sheng Yunjiao shook her head: "It's fine for a while, but if I don't go out for a long time, I'll definitely be noticed, Yangyang. Otherwise, you can find a place to wait for me until night, when no one will be around, and I'll sneak over to find you."
Lu Yangyang lowered her voice: "Are they His Highness's people?"
Sheng Yunjiao nodded and lowered her voice as well: "Sheng Yunzhu told His Highness that I have a good relationship with you, so His Highness wanted to use me to lure you or His Highness the Crown Prince out. That's why they didn't take my life. It seems that they have some important things to do, so they just dumped me here and said they would let me fend for myself. But I still noticed that someone was following me in the dark. It should be His Highness's people who want to use me as bait."
When Lu Yangyang heard what she said, she roughly understood what was going on.
Given Sheng Yunzhu's hatred for her, she certainly wouldn't let Jiao Jiao go. However, if Sheng Yunzhu wanted to persuade the Crown Prince to help her kidnap Sheng Yun Jiao, she would have to tell the Crown Prince what use Sheng Yun Jiao was.
But whether it's to lure her into a trap with Zong Que, or to threaten Yan Yue, His Highness will not let Sheng Yunjiao die until his goal is achieved.
The prince has many things to do in Yuechuan Kingdom, and it would be inconvenient to bring Sheng Yunjiao along as a burden. That's why he sent her to the Holy Capital, using her as bait to see if anyone would take the bait.
Given His Highness's cunning, he must have had a purpose in scattering so many baits.
but……
Who says he's the only one who can take the initiative?
Lu Yangyang looked Sheng Yunjiao up and down, then pulled her to sit down on a chair. "From now on, don't move. I'll take you out."
Sheng Yunjiao's eyes widened. Although she was very puzzled, she quickly calmed down. She trusted Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang dampened a cloth with water and wiped Sheng Yunjiao's face clean. Then she took out a beauty cream from her bag and quickly applied makeup to Sheng Yunjiao. Her skills were average, not as good as Jiang Zhiyi's, but at least she made Sheng Yunjiao look only three-tenths like her before. Unless someone was very familiar with her, Sheng Yunjiao could walk out of here without anyone recognizing her.
After she finished her makeup, Lu Yangyang took out a men's outfit and handed it to her: "Change into this outfit, then swagger out to the lobby on the first floor. Remember Hua Rui? Go to her table, sit down, eat quietly, don't say anything, and then walk out with them."
"I, I..." Sheng Yunjiao opened her mouth, about to say something, when her gaze fell on the mirror on the table. Seeing herself in the mirror, she opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
Lu Yangyang winked at her.
Sheng Yunjiao clenched her small fist, said nothing, and gently bumped it with Lu Yangyang.
Then he turned around and walked out feeling relaxed.
After Sheng Yunjiao left, Lu Yangyang changed into Sheng Yunjiao's clothes, pretended to wander around the yard a few times, and then returned to the hut. Sure enough, two people came looking for her soon after.
Before the two could even speak, they were struck by two poisoned needles from Lu Yangyang and collapsed.
Lu Yangyang took off one of the clothes and put it on, then left the room and walked out of the restaurant as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Sheng Yunjiao and Wen Qingqing also came out of the restaurant.
Lu Yangyang gave them a wink, and after wandering around the main street for two blocks, they turned onto a relatively empty street based on the marks left by Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang walked over and whispered, "The tail has already been swung away, we need to find a place to settle down first."
Sheng Yunjiao immediately replied, "I know, I know, I'll take you. Did you bring any money?"
Lu Yangyang took out a money bag from her bosom and handed it to her.
Sheng Yunjiao led them to a middle-aged woman nearby, took the key from her, and went to an empty house.
After entering the house, Sheng Yunjiao looked at Lu Yangyang excitedly: "Yangyang, you are amazing! I thought of hundreds of ways to escape, but I didn't expect to do it so easily! I just rented the house under the name of a friend's relative, so he definitely won't be able to find this place for a while."
This is not the capital, nor is it within the Crown Prince's sphere of influence. No matter how powerful the Crown Prince is, it will be difficult for him to find them in a short time.
"You were being watched by them all by yourself, so your safety was the most important thing. Luckily you didn't run around, or I wouldn't have been able to find you," Lu Yangyang said.
Sheng Yunjiao laughed and said, "That's true!"
At this moment, Hua Rui knelt down directly in front of Sheng Yunjiao and said, "Miss Sheng, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have hurt you for my own selfish reasons. Now that I can see you, my wish has been fulfilled. From now on, I will obey your orders, whether you want to kill or torture me."
When Sheng Yunjiao saw Hua Rui kneeling down, she was slightly taken aback, and her brows furrowed slightly. She turned her head and looked at Lu Yangyang with a questioning gaze.
Lu Yangyang told her about the relationship between Hua Rui and Xue Yan, and the reasons why Hua Rui did what she did.
Sheng Yunjiao understood, "I vaguely remember them talking about it on the way here, so that's how it is."
The flower stamen drooped its head, filled with remorse.
Sheng Yunjiao said, "Get up. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be stranded here, so it's unlikely I could forgive you. But you weren't the one who really wanted to kidnap me. Whether you helped or not, they would have found a way to kidnap me. Fortunately, you still have some conscience and were willing to bring Yangyang to find me. I won't beat or kill you, so let's leave our grudges here."
Hua Rui looked up at Sheng Yunjiao in shock, but Sheng Yunjiao didn't care at all. "Anyway, Yangyang is here now. If you have any ill intentions towards me, you're finished."
Tears welled up in Hua Rui's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, "I'm sorry..."
