Chapter 376 They've come with ill intentions.

Soon, he learned that Su Liluo had moved into the Regent's Palace and that the Regent had petitioned the Emperor to grant Gao Junning and Su Liluo a marriage.

"This is insane!"

When Che Yi learned that Gao Changhong wanted Su Liluo to marry Gao Junning, he couldn't help but curse.

Although he considered Su Liluo to be his mother's child with another man, the idea of ​​her marrying his father's son with another man was still unacceptable to him.

No matter what, it just feels weird, a strange feeling that's hard to describe.

"I'm going to sneak into the Regent's Palace tonight. You all stay here and protect Yan'er for me!"

After some deliberation, Che Yi decided to sneak into the Regent's Palace to meet Su Liluo, and thus decided to leave Zhu Feng and Zhu Yue to protect Chu Yan.

Having grown up in the Regent's Palace, he was naturally familiar with it. Therefore, he quickly avoided the palace guards and the secret guards in the courtyards of the various masters and arrived at the place where the guests might be staying.

He had his own spies in the palace, and soon found out where Su Liluo lived.

At that moment, Su Liluo was dismissing the maids around her, intending to rest alone, while plotting how to find an opportunity to go to the palace to find the Earth Spirit Mushroom.

She blew out the light, lay on the bed, but her mind was already working on a plan.

The pale, translucent moonlight shone into the room through the cracks in the window like silk. Su Lilu leaned to one side, staring blankly at the ground. Suddenly, she saw a shadow blocking the moonlight.

Someone's there!

Su Liluo immediately became alert. Could it be that the Regent's Consort was up to something again, barging into her room in the middle of the night?

After all, he had thoroughly offended the Regent's wife these past two days, so it was perfectly normal for her to try to harm him.

So, Su Liluo perked up. Although she didn't move, she secretly took out some poison from her sleeve to defend herself.

"Don't be afraid, Crown Princess, it's me!"

Just as Su Liluo was about to raise her hand and spray poison into the air above her, Che Yi spoke up decisively.

What brings you here?

Su Liluo recognized Che Yi's voice, put away the poison in her hand, and looked at him in surprise.

In the dim darkness, only the general outline of a person could be seen. Che Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Liluo was lying down wearing the clothes she wore during the day, and did not turn around.

Even though she's my sister, I still need to know how to avoid suspicion. But the situation is different now, and thankfully my sister is taking precautions herself.

"Yan'er and I came here specifically to see you. His Highness the Crown Prince will be coming soon; he is preparing to lead his troops to attack the Northern Desert."

Che Yi then gave a brief explanation.

"How did you find me here? They didn't spot you, did they?"

More than Xiao Ye's plan to lead troops to attack the Northern Desert, Su Liluo was curious about how Che Yi had managed to find her so easily at the Regent's Palace.

Xiao Ye's actions were within her expectations, but Che Yi's ability to find her so quickly surprised her.

The Regent's Palace is vast, with numerous courtyards, much larger than the Crown Prince's Palace in Daliang. It took me several days to familiarize myself with the place.

For someone entering this place for the first time, finding themselves so quickly is not an easy task.

Moreover, the Regent's Palace was full of skilled guards and secret agents, so how did Che Yi manage to avoid them all by himself?

"I......"

Che Yi was stumped; he hadn't expected Su Liluo to ask such a question.

However, he quickly came up with a reason.

"I kidnapped a servant from the Prince's mansion and used him to find this place. By the way, how are you doing here? Come with me tonight. I've also settled Yan'er in the Northern Desert Imperial City."

"I'm afraid tonight won't work. I plan to stay at the Regent's Palace for a while. Anyway, the wedding date he set is in three months. I need to take advantage of this time to go to the palace to find the Earth Spirit Mushroom."

Su Lilu shook her head and refused.

If she were to escape with Che Yi now, they might be able to succeed. However, this would make Gao Changhong even more vigilant, and it would be inconvenient for her to search for the Earth Spirit Mushroom again.

She believed that with Xiao Ye's abilities, he would definitely be able to reach the Northern Desert within three months.

"Ganoderma lucidum?"

Che Yi asked in confusion, about to ask something, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from outside.

"This is Miss Su's room. Did you really see the assassin rushing into this room?"

A maid's voice came from outside.

"Oh no, you've been spotted! You'd better get out of here right now, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Su Liluo frowned and quickly urged Che Yi to leave.

"If you need to find us, remember to come to No. 31, Que'er Alley!"

Che Yi also realized the danger, so he quickly told Su Liluo their current address and prepared to leave through the window.

"Bang!"

Just then, Su Liluo's house was violently smashed open, and an old woman led a group of guards rushing in from outside, showing no regard for the fact that a woman lived inside.

Su Liluo couldn't help but let out a cold smile. It seemed they had come with ill intentions!

"Quickly search the place thoroughly and find out where the assassin is hiding!"

The old woman shrilly ordered the guards to search through Su Liluo's room.

"Oh, what's going on here? How dare you barge into my house without my permission? Is this how the Regent treats his guests?"

Su Liluo pretended to have just finished dressing and got up from the bed. She walked up to the old woman and questioned her in a cold voice.

The old woman first looked Su Liluo up and down, holding a candle in her hand, then said with an awkward smile, "We heard that an assassin had broken into the Prince's mansion, and we were worried about the young lady's safety, so we naturally didn't knock on the door in our haste."

"Where is the assassin? Have you found him?"

Su Liluo said calmly, with a hint of displeasure.

"Aren't we looking for it right now? Someone in the courtyard did see the assassin break into the girl's room just now."

The old woman explained with a smile.

"Reporting to Granny, no traces of an assassin have been found here."

After searching thoroughly, the guards found nothing and bowed to report.

The old woman narrowed her eyes and had no choice but to apologize to Su Liluo in a friendly manner, "We've disturbed you. Since you're not here, you must have gone somewhere else!"

"Miss Su, this old servant won't disturb your sleep any longer. Let's go look for the assassin elsewhere!"

After saying that, he immediately left with a group of guards.

Su Liluo finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, but little did she know that after leaving her room, the old woman went around to the back of her house and searched for a while.

And, she actually found something.

"What is this? Give it to me!"

The old nanny pointed at a yellowish-brown object under the feet of a guard and gave instructions.
