Lu Liangwei was slightly surprised. She thought about this for a moment and could not help asking, “How do you plan to deliver the letter?”

“It would be too much work to deliver it through the post station.” Yuan Xin smiled mysteriously and folded up the letter. She passed it to her personal maidservant, Bi Luo, and gave her some instructions.

Bi Luo left the mansion after taking the letter.

When Yuan Xin saw the puzzled look on Lu Liangwei’s face, she explained, “The Yuan family has their personal network for letters. My cousin regularly has business in the imperial capital of Great Shang and he travels there back and forth quite often. I’ve instructed Bi Luo to deliver the letter to the Yuan family. They will pass the letter to my cousin and he will deliver it to the minister’s mansion. If all goes smoothly, the letter will arrive at its destination in three days at most.”

“Three days?” Lu Liangwei was skeptical.

They were currently over a thousand miles from the imperial capital of Great Shang. How could the letter arrive in three days?

When she saw the disbelief on Lu Liangwei’s face, Yuan Xin smiled and said, “The Yuan family keeps eagles that are trained to deliver letters. The birds make it unnecessary to journey on foot, which is why I said three days is considered slow.”

Lu Liangwei knew there was no reason for Yuan Xin to lie about this.

If Yuan Xin dared to make this statement, it meant that what she said was true.

The thought that Lin Qingyuan would receive her letter in three days at most cheered up Lu Liangwei tremendously.

At this moment, a maid from Tranquil Fragrance Garden came rushing in. “Princess Consort, they’re conducting another search.” She glanced carefully at Lu Liangwei when she said this.

Yuan Xin immediately realized what was happening. As Beitang Rui did not manage to find Lu Er out there, he turned this search back to the mansion.

She frowned and said to Lu Liangwei. “I’m afraid even my place isn’t safe anymore. If they decide to make another search, they won’t leave this place unchecked.”

The same thought had crossed Lu Liangwei’s mind. She was about to say something when Yuan Xin suddenly grabbed her hand. “Let’s go. I’m taking you to hide with the Yuan family. If they want to search, let them search this place.” With that, Yuan Xin turned to her maid and instructed, “Hurry and make the necessary arrangements. I’m going back to the Yuan family.”

“Yes, Princess Consort.” The maid immediately left to make preparations.

Lu Liangwei gave this further thought and said to Yuan Xin, “If we’re doing this, let me put on a disguise.”

“That would be prudent.” Yuan Xin nodded.

Before long, Lu Liangwei had put on a maid’s apparel and reapplied some makeup on her face. She had wiped out all traces of her original look.

Yuan Xin’s personal maidservant arranged for a horse-drawn carriage to arrive outside Tranquil Fragrance Garden.

Yuan Xin and Lu Liangwei had just gotten into the carriage when a group of guards arrived. They bowed respectfully toward the carriage.

“Greetings to the Princess Consort. An assassin has shown up in the mansion and Prince Rui has instructed us to come here to search for the intruder. We hope you will allow us the convenience.”

Yuan Xin smiled coldly, but gave them an unexpected reply. “Have you searched Concubine Shangguan’s courtyard before coming to mine?”

The guards looked at each other with embarrassment.

They had indeed bypassed Concubine Shangguan’s courtyard before coming to Tranquil Fragrance Garden.

The atmosphere was starting to get tense when a quick-witted guard explained, “We searched Concubine Shangguan’s courtyard the last time but missed out on the Princess Consort’s courtyard. This time, Prince Rui had instructed us to start the search here before searching the other courtyards.”

There was silence in the carriage before they heard a voice say, “Fine. I’ll be returning to the Yuan family for some personal matters. Go on in and search all you want, but be careful. If I come back to find anything missing or broken, you will not be able to bear the consequences!”

“Don’t worry, Princess Consort. We will be careful not to touch any of your possessions.” All the guards quickly promised her.

Yuan Xin ignored them as the carriage began to move forward.
