When Long Yang ordered him to keep an eye on Hong Xiu and Chen Xuping, he had instructed the covert guards under his command to execute this order.
He had never expected this investigation to pay off so quickly.
"Your majesty, the covert guard saw the Crown Princess's maidservant meeting Chen Xuping."
The news did not catch Long Yang by surprise. "Well, continue to watch their every move. If they threaten Lu Liangwei's safety, you can kill them on the spot without informing me."
"Yes." After Chu Qi respectfully obliged, his Majesty walked away from the imperial table.
Maintaining his pace, Long Yang headed to his sleeping quarters to change into regular clothes before he re-emerged.
Zhao Qian was waiting outside, and when he saw this, he asked, "Is Master leaving the palace?"
"Yes."
"I will go with you and serve by your side." Zhao Qian chirped enthusiastically.
