I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!

"Eunuch Zhong?" Gu Lan understood Cheng Yu’s meaning, feeling a slight relief, and carefully observed him.

Miaoyan already managed part of the Inner Supervision staff, so it was not surprising that Cheng Yu was one of her people.

Cheng Yu responded carefully and respectfully:

"Below Eunuch Zhang in the Inner Supervision, there are four commanders, one of whom is Zhong Liang, Eunuch Zhong. He is also the oldest among the four commanders."

And Lin He is the youngest of the four, and these four were the red-robed eunuchs who escorted me into the palace, Gu Lan added in her heart.

She recalled the events of the day she entered the palace, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

It turns out that the middle-aged eunuch was not called "Zhongliang," but "Zhong Liang."

"Did you hear everything just now?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, "I was just thinking about not letting the guards outside wake up, and had to be wary of Eunuch Zhong returning. I was too tense to hear anything."

Gu Lan observed his demeanor and basically determined that he wasn’t lying—if he really heard what she said, he could never remain so calm.

Who could stay calm after hearing that Young Master Gu is a woman and even had her period?

Gu Lan lowered her eyes, it seemed she should have Meiduo be more careful, or perhaps not let such a young child risk her life for her.

As for Cheng Yu in front of her—

"What did Miaoyan send you to do?" Gu Lan asked.

Cheng Yu’s features could only be described as fair and clean, but he stood tall, with a respectful and gentle demeanor, not at all like a eunuch. He also had a pair of very beautiful eyes, and Gu Lan seemed to see an emerald hue like a deep forest in his pupils.

Cheng Yu heard Gu Lan casually mention "Miaoyan," and was momentarily lost in thought. He quickly concealed his emotions and explained seriously:

"Your Highness has been looking for you. The commotion you caused here two days ago resulted in Eunuch Zhong replacing an Inner Supervision team—besides the four guards and the patrolling imperial guard outside, there are five people in the Inner Supervision secretly including Eunuch Zhong, and I am one of them, transferred here two days ago."

His words were orderly, his voice clear, giving a sense of storytelling.

Similar to what she had guessed, her door-banging two nights ago not only allowed Meiduo to find her, but if Miaoyan had noticed, Lin He could definitely find her too.

She was pondering when Rong Jing might transfer her elsewhere and what steps she should take when Cheng Yu continued:

"Your Highness had me convey to you that she will find a way to rescue you. This is what she wanted me to give you."

An amber-colored item was gently passed through a gap by Cheng Yu, and the moonlight flowed over it, reflecting a faint luster.

Gu Lan took it and found that it was a lifelike sugar figurine.

The sugar figurine was pale yellow, dressed in a man’s attire, and with a few strokes it was clear that its appearance was elegant, holding a folding fan—this was her image.

"Then, could you please also tell Miaoyan that I will be fine, and there’s no need to worry too much."

"I understand."

She had given Miaoyan sugar figurines twice, once when Miaoyan was a student at Maoqin Hall and couldn’t leave the palace, and once after she returned to the capital from the Southern Border to see her.

The Dayan’s Princess Ning’an really cared for Young Master Gu, even secretly investigating, fearing something might happen to her.

Gu Lan pursed her lips, the brightness in her dark eyes settled down; it seemed she had a way to naturally reveal her identity.

It was also time to tell Miaoyan about it.

After conveying Miaoyan’s concerns, Cheng Yu said:

"I will take my leave. Your Highness might come to see you secretly if there’s a chance in the coming days."

Gu Lan became even more convinced of a certain assumption and asked, "Can Miaoyan really come in?"

Cheng Yu nodded with no concealment:

"Your Highness said that the court is not peaceful these days, Your Majesty is weary and in low spirits, and Eunuch Zhong is not a diligent person; he dislikes guarding you all day... As for those four guards, even if Your Highness is noticed by them, they wouldn’t dare do anything."

Cheng Yu was right; the other night, after Rong Jing was woken up and left in a huff, he did not appear again. Not even the Heart-devouring Incense served that day or yesterday, and today’s was short and perfunctory.

He still had the imperial guard surrounding Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and many courtiers in the court must be unable to restrain from advising the Emperor. There has been no movement since she was summoned into the palace, leaving Rong Jing frustrated with various matters.

Gu Lan became more certain of her thoughts.

Finally, Cheng Yu bowed to Gu Lan, then turned and disappeared into the night in his dark blue robe.
