After returning from Nanshan Villa, Liuying received a mysterious letter.

This letter appeared in her study inexplicably, and no one knew who sent it in. Not only that, there was no signature on the letter, only the words Shangguan Liuying personally signed it.

But when Shangguan Liuying opened the envelope curiously, her face turned ugly. The content of the letter was very simple, with only one sentence: "There is danger at the border, and Shangguan Han's life hangs on a thread!"

She hurriedly called Ying Yi, and when Ying Yi arrived in the study, she saw Shangguan Liuying's gloomy face.

"Look," Liuying handed the letter to him, "I know there must be a secret communication method between you and your father, and it can be avoided by the old emperor. I want to know the situation at the border now!"

After Yingyi read the letter, his face turned ugly. He hesitated and said, "This..."

"Tell me," Liu Ying looked at him with lightning eyes, "Don't hide anything from me." At this time, she was already very anxious.

"Yes, to be honest, Miss, I haven't been able to contact the general for half a month..." Ying said with an ugly expression.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shangguan Liuying's face turned ugly, "How do you guys get in touch?"

"In order not to make the old emperor suspicious, the general and I have always had a single line of communication. I am only responsible for informing the general of your safety. As long as the letter is delivered to the designated location, someone will pick it up. As for who will pick up the letter? I don't know, but no one took away the last letter I sent..." Ying Yi explained in a low voice.

This situation has happened once before. That time, the person who received the letter had an accident and the letter was delayed for a few days. He thought it would be similar this time, but after reading today's letter, he suddenly became unsure.

"Miss, could this letter be a trap?" Ying Yi was a little worried, after all, the letter appeared too strange.

Shangguan Liuying's brows furrowed tightly. She paced back and forth in the study, muttering, "Border crisis, border crisis..."

After a while, she suddenly stopped by the window, "Whether it's a trap or not, I have to go to the border to see for myself..."

"But Miss, over there in the palace..." Ying Yi looked solemn.

If the old emperor found out that Shangguan Liuying had gone to the border, he would probably send people to surround the general's mansion or chase her back immediately. In short, it would be a big deal if Shangguan Liuying left the capital privately!

"I remember you said Ying Si was good at disguise, right?" Liu Ying suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Ying Yi's eyes lit up, "Miss, what do you want?"

"Even if I want to leave the capital, I can't leave anyone with any excuses. I need to think about it carefully," Liu Ying slowly walked to the desk and sat down, tapping her fingers on the table unconsciously. "We can't let the old emperor find out that I left the capital. The only way is to have someone pretend to be me in the house."

"My subordinate understands, so go and call Ying Si now," Ying Yi said in a deep voice, "But who are you going to let Miss pretend to be you in the house?"

Liuying closed her eyes and fell into deep thought. Yingyi did not disturb her and stood quietly aside, holding the letter in his hand and exploring it repeatedly.

It took Liu Ying another long while to open her eyes. At this time, her eyes were clear and she spoke in a crisp voice, "First go to the other courtyard and find Lu Rong quietly. Remember not to let anyone find out. You must bring him back quietly." Go to the mansion, and then ask Ying Si and Lu Yi to come to the study to find me, and after you bring Lu Rong back..." Liu Ying arranged step by step.

She knew that it was not easy for her to leave the capital, but no matter how difficult it was, she had to go. She could not rest assured without confirming her father's safety with her own eyes.

Ying turned around and left as soon as she understood. Liuying closed her eyes and continued to deduce all the possibilities in her mind. She hoped that she could be foolproof.

The second half of the night at the General's Mansion was supposed to be quiet, but it suddenly became noisy. Someone in Shangguan Liuying's yard shouted, "There is a thief, arrest him quickly!"

Immediately, the servants in the mansion started to move, and after a while, the courtyard was brightly lit.

Liu Mei was sleeping at that time. After being woken up, she quickly asked Hongluan, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"I heard that there was a thief in the eldest lady's yard. The eldest lady seems to be injured." Hong Luan helped Liu Mei and started to change her clothes.

"Thief? Are you still injured?" Liu Mei frowned tightly, "Quick, let's go over and take a look."

At this time, in Shangguan Liuying's room, she was sitting on the bedside with a pale face. There was a lot of blood on her left arm, which seemed to be injured.

When Liu Mei arrived, she saw Lu Yi simply treating Liu Ying's wound. Blood was flowing out, and it looked like the injury was serious.

"What's going on?" Liu Mei asked loudly, coming to Liu Ying's bedside as if she was distressed, "Liu Ying, are you okay? Who hurt you?"

"I'm fine. I've sent someone to inform Jing Zhaoyin. I only saw a masked person..." Liu Ying's tone was a little weak.

Liu Mei rolled her eyes, "Did you lose anything?"

"As far as Mrs. Liu is concerned, nothing was lost. The young lady discovered this man as soon as he entered the yard. He injured the young lady and then ran away." Lu Yi explained in a low voice from the side.

Liu Mei nodded, "Then let Jing Zhaoyin investigate and find out who is so brave and dares to come to the General's Mansion to commit murder!"

"Aunt, I'm worrying you," Liu Ying's face became paler and paler, "I've already sent someone to the palace with a badge to ask for a doctor. He should be here soon."

"Have you asked the imperial doctor?" Liu Mei's heart moved, "Is it serious? My aunt is here with you. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Hong Luan, go to the door and see why the imperial doctor hasn't come yet."

Liu Mei looked extremely anxious, but the gloating in her eyes could not escape Shangguan Liuying's eyes.

Soon the imperial doctor came. Liu Ying's injury looked really serious and she needed a good rest. The imperial doctor gave Liu Ying a prescription and watched Lu Yi brew the medicine. After working for a long time, he left.

After everything was over, "Aunt, it's already very late. You should go and rest." Liuying said still weakly.

"Okay then," Liu Mei was indeed tired, "Then you have a good rest and my aunt will come see you tomorrow."

After Liu Mei left, Liu Ying changed her previous weak look and sat up directly, "Let Ying 1, Ying 4, and Lu Rong come in."

"Yes."

After Lu Yi left, Shangguan Liuying took off the wound that the imperial doctor had bandaged and simply bandaged it again. Although her face was still a little pale, she was obviously not as weak as before.
