Chapter 424 You Have to Trust Me!

Looking back and seeing no one, Chushi Weiyang then asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Shuangshuang, please tell me whether your father plans to work with Marquis Shuo to plot the rebellion." "Ho... It turns out that you come here to sound me out for your fatuous father. Listen, I won't tell you anything. Cough..." Bai Shuangshuang was so excited that she started to cough and spit blood. Seeing that, Chushi Weiyang quickly held Bai Shuangshuang into his arms. Wiping away the blood around her mouth, he looked at her and said, "Miss Shuangshuang, please don't say that. You can trust me!" "Trust you? Ha-ha... Do you think I will buy your story?" Bai Shuangshuang sneered. Hearing that, Chushi Weiyang who was always eloquent did not know what to say. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Miss Shuangshuang, you have to trust me because I'm the only one who can help you. My father decides to lock you here to lure your fellows out so that he can capture them. Shuo Ling is my friend. Even if he wants to rebel, I'm sure he has a reason." "Just save it. As that fatuous man's son, how will you turn against your father for other people?" Bai Shuangshuang snorted and said. Knowing that Bai Shuangshuang still didn't trust him, Chushi Weiyang continued, "True, he's my father. But he never gives me his love. It’s funny. As a royal member, I should long for love. No one in the palace cares about me. Without Shuo Ling, I would have..." While speaking, he looked so upset and lonely. Bai Shuangshuang let her guard down a bit after hearing Chushi Weiyang's explanation, but she hadn't completely trusted him yet! It was nearly impossible for her who was locked in prison to get in touch with people outside. If she could send a warning letter to her father now, her father would make preparations to not fall into that fatuous man's trap! At the thought, Bai Shuangshuang answered in a gentle voice, "Fine, I'll trust you!" Then she whispered to Chushi Weiyang and told him where Youyou Valley was located. Later, she looked at Chushi Weiyang and said, "If you lie to me, I will even come back from hell to kill you!" "Don't worry. I will inform your father in advance!" Chushi Weiyang nodded and promised. After that, he took out a bottle of the medicine for incised wounds and handed it to her, "Take this. I carried it around before coming in. My father wants to find out whether I have lied to him, so he allows me to visit you. But I'm afraid I can hardly come back later. So remember to protect yourself and stay quick-witted." "Don't worry. He won't kill me before luring my father out." Bai Shuangshuang answered. Chushi Weiyang nodded and continued, "Alright, I've spent much time here and I have to leave now." While speaking, he was about to stand up and walk outside. But right at this time, Bai Shuangshuang held his hand and stopped him. "Wait." "What's wrong?" Chushi Weiyang looked at her and asked. She took off a hairpin and handed it to him. "Given that you're a Prince, you can hardly earn my father's trust. You take this... As long as my father sees this, he will trust you then." "I see," said Chushi Weiyang who didn't walk out or leave the cell until taking over the hairpin and putting it in his chest pocket. It was in Youyou Valley. It was almost lunchtime, but Bai Shuangshuang hadn't come back. Shaoyao got worried. Right at this time, she heard a knock at the door, which made her delighted. So she ran to open the door and said, "Miss... Master Luo." When she saw Luo Shu standing outside after opening the door, Shaoyao quickly corrected herself. Luo Shu asked her, "Where is Shuangshuang?" "She's a bit tired and she is in sleep now," answered Shaoyao who stood near the door to block Luo Shu's view. Hearing that, Luo Shu frowned. It was quite late now. Why hadn't Shuangshuang got up? He aimed at the door crack to shout, "Shuangshuang! Shuangshuang! I hunted pheasants this morning. Get up now, or you will miss the pheasant feast!" In the past, Bai Shuangshuang would get up whenever she heard there was chicken served. But this time, she didn't show up even after Luo Shu waited outside for a while, so he knew something went wrong. Then, he pushed Shaoyao away and walked into the room. Standing before Bai Shuangshuang's bed, he threw the covers back but didn't see her. Luo Shu looked back at Shaoyao and asked in a loud voice, "Where is Shuangshuang?" "She... She left the valley early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid... " answered Shaoyao who looked at Luo Shu in a flurry after being yelled. Hearing that, Luo Shu quickly walked to her and continued, "Has she told you where she's going?" "Someone stole her wallet last time and a kind young master bought her two roast chicken. So she went out to repay him. But it's been a long time and she hasn't come back..." Shaoyao explained with tears in her eyes. Luo Shu said, "Alright, I see. You go to inform General Bai and I'll go out to look for her." "I'll!" Shaoyao nodded and responded. Afterward, Luo Shu rushed out. When he left, Shaoyao wiped away her tears and ran to General Bai's bedroom! Bai Zhanfei was practicing his swordplay with others. Shaoyao walked to him and called him in a gentle voice, "General Bai." "What's wrong?" Bai Zhanfei turned around to answer Shaoyao. Then she told Bai Zhanfei what happened. Bai Zhanfei pulled a long face after hearing that and asked again, "Luo Shu has left the valley?" "Yes," Shaoyao confirmed with a nod. Bai Zhanfei also nodded. Maybe Shuangshuang enjoyed herself so much that she forgot to come back early, so she hadn’t come back yet. Now that Luo Shu had set off to look for her, Bai Zhanfei decided to wait here for them first! Shaoyao stood aside with her head lowering. Bai Zhanfei said to her, "Go to the valley to wait for them. As long as you see them, come back to tell me!" "Yes, General." responded Shaoyao who still lowered her head. Later, she headed to the valley. She was praying that Bai Shuangshuang could come back safely! In the meantime, Lan Ruojing had announced the news that Bai Shuangshuang was in prison to lure her father out as the Emperor required. Luo Shu heard the news as soon as he stepped into Jing City. He planned to ask people in the mansion of Marquis Shuo for help. But on second thought, he realized that he would be exposed if anyone spotted and followed him. Besides, Shuo Ling wasn't at home now. Thinking of that, Luo Shu got out of town rapidly, tending to report this to General Bai and come up with another plan to save Bai Shuangshuang. Infanta An Qin also heard the news. Since His Majesty entrusted the Lan Family to take care of that, it must be them who snatched her letter! At the thought, An Qin frowned. Her father wrote back to warn her to act carefully, and he had set off to Jing City. They could make a plan together when he arrived. Zhou Ji also heard the news. However, worrying about Bai Shuangshuang would help nothing. Marquis Shuo was out of town. The Emperor might haven't found enough evidence to convict them, so he took no action yet. But perhaps, the Emperor was still waiting for an opportunity to do so. After obtaining the information, Imperial Concubine Xiao's maid rushed back. "How's everything going?" Imperial Concubine Xiao asked when seeing Qingzhi. The latter shook her head and answered, "Your Grace, His Majesty has ordered the prison guards to let no one visit the prisoner. But the Sixth Prince had been to the prison once." "Weiyang? Does he have anything to do with this? His Majesty never likes him, does he?" Imperial Concubine Xiao felt more confused. Then she looked up at Qingzhi and asked, "Anything else? Did you hear any other news?" "No, but the news that a traitor was put in prison has spread." Qingzhi shook her head and continued. Imperial Concubine Xiao slightly frowned and sneered then, "I see. His Majesty intends to spread the news to lure more people out. Keep spying on them. Report to me if anything comes up!" "Yes, Your Grace." Qingzhi answered and walked out. When she left, Imperial Concubine Xiao was pondering over everything that happened. No, she couldn't just stand by or let the Lan Family regain their power. She had to take some action! Then she called maids guarding the door and ordered them to invite the Third Prince here! Shaoyao, who waited in the valley, quickly stood up when seeing Luo Shu coming back. But she didn't see Bai Shuangshuang even after Luo Shu flew over the valley. So Shaoyao asked worriedly, "Where is Miss?" "That fatuous b*st*rd caught her!" explained Luo Shu as he walked back. Hearing that, Shaoyao became anxious and stunned. Later, she caught up with Luo Shu and asked again, "You're lying to me, aren't you?" "I'm not. The news has spread in town. After getting the news, I rushed back to report to General Bai so that we can find a way to save her." Luo Shu explained and he never stopped walking. Having confirmed that Bai Shuangshuang was in prison, Shaoyao couldn't help crying. How could it be? Bai Shuangshuang told her that she would come back right after paying the money back. How come she was in prison now? Although she was crying, she kept following Luo Shu. At the same time, Bai Zhanfei who was on the training field started to feel disturbed. Therefore, he asked people to practice on their own and he would stand aside to instruct them. At the sight of Luo Shu and Shaoyao, he rushed to ask, "Where is Shuangshuang?" "General, Shuangshuang... The Emperor caught her!" Luo Shu answered. Bai Zhanfei was taken aback by that. Despite all his precautions, things still went wrong.
