GBP Chapter 231 Departure
Chapter 231 Departure
Jiang Zhu has lived in Yanzhou for many years and hasn't had such a bright smile for a long time.
"Azhu, do you know Miss Bai?"
"Miss Bai is the girl who helped me last time in Taiming Mountain. I mentioned her to you before."
Jiang Zhu suppressed his smile and returned to his usual cold expression.
"It turned out to be that girl! Just because she saved you, I have to thank her."
Princess Yan had already noticed something was wrong, but she didn't say it directly.
The three of them finished their meal quickly, and Jiang Zhu didn't stay long. "Aunt, I will go to King Yan tomorrow to find out more. Also, Ru'er should follow me to the border this time."
"Why?" Princess Yan was a little surprised. "Ru'er prefers literature to martial arts. He probably won't agree."
"Aunt, if you want the brothers to live in harmony, just listen to me." Jiang Zhu just gave a side reminder and did not mention the fact that Jiang Ru wrote him a letter.
Some things are unavoidable. Being born in a royal family, fighting for power seems to be an innate talent of every royal child.
"Is someone instigating Ru'er?" Princess Yan's face darkened. She was indeed negligent these days. She didn't know who was so bold as to sow discord among them.
"I'm not sure if someone is trying to instigate this. Now that Cousin Lan is back, you should stay away from him."
Jiang Zhu expressed his opinion, bowed and left.
Princess Yan made a prompt decision and came up with an idea, "Mammy, help Ru'er pack his things and let him leave with Azhu."
"Miss, if the prince doesn't come back, the second young master is your support." The wet nurse advised.
"If Lan'er can't come back, I may not be able to come back safely. Only when Chi'er and Azhu are here, Ru'er will be safe."
Princess Yan has already confirmed that Prince Yan is more inclined towards Hua Guiqing.
She didn't know when the two of them developed feelings for each other. She only believed the saying among the people that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.
Hua Guiqing was not coveting the military power on the border, but she refused to let the woman get what she wanted.
As long as Chi'er can get a foothold there, he will be able to take care of Ru'er.
Even if Jiang Ye wanted to do something, the military power over there was their support.
"Thanks to Azhu's reminder, Ru'er was indeed a little careless."
"Mammy, pack up your things quietly. Don't pack too much and don't let the people around Ru'er notice."
"When Azhu leaves, Ru'er can leave with him. Don't take any servants with you."
"If your son won't listen, let Azhu knock him out and take him away."
Princess Yan was a little confused and said a lot of things.
The nurse patted her back gently and said, "Okay, young lady, I understand. I'll prepare it right away. It's time for the princess to buy some winter clothes, too. Don't worry."
Princess Yan was indeed a little anxious, and the nanny tried her best to comfort her, "Second Master and the Princess will be fine, Master Zhu will protect them."
Princess Yan's ears twitched slightly, and she came out from the nurse's arms, "Nanny, I'm done eating, but I really can't eat any more. Fortunately, Azhu is here, so there's not much left. Take it away and give it to the maids. Help me back to bed."
After being master and servant for many years, the wet nurse knew what to do with just a glance from Princess Yan.
"Princess, you must take good care of your body. If you fall ill again when the prince comes back..."
The master and servant chatted casually, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Princess Yan finally returned to normal.
"Jiang Ye has sent someone to keep an eye on me, so be careful with your words in the future. Go and prepare the things for the two children, don't hide them, others won't guess that I will send Ru'er away."
Princess Yan felt it for a while, and made sure that the person who had been following her had left, so she raised her voice a little.
The nanny was so angry that she was shaking. "The clan leader has the best eyes for judging people, really~"
"Okay, go down and prepare, don't let the news leak out."
Princess Yan was the only one left in the room, and she lay on the bed until midnight.
At night, she made sure no one was following her.
She immediately got up, blew out the lights in the room, changed into night clothes, and covered her pillow with a quilt, pretending that she was still in bed.
"Aunt, don't act rashly."
Just when Princess Yan was about to go out, Jiang Zhu suddenly appeared and stopped her.
"Azhu? Why are you here so late?" Princess Yan pulled off her mask. "Come in and talk. Someone will be following me soon after you leave."
Jiang Zhu asked in a low voice, "What does my aunt want to do? Go to that house and deal with Hua Guiqing?"
Princess Yan remained silent.
"It seems that I guessed it right! Aunt, now is not the right time. There are too many people over there. If you go there, you will die, and you may even implicate your cousin."
Jiang Zhu was not exaggerating. The Prince of Yan did not like his aunt's offspring. His concern in the past was all for the connections of the Nalan family behind his aunt.
"Hua Guiqing wants to harm Lan'er. I can't just sit there and wait for death." Princess Yan lowered her voice, full of anger.
"Aunt, I know you are anxious. You might as well select craftsmen for them now. I will send a letter to Changbo to let Bai Jingzhi know your good intentions."
"Azhu, what happened again?" Princess Yan understood what he meant, "Even the craftsman, Prince Yan, doesn't want to prepare?"
Jiang Zhu said nothing.
"Are you coming from the study?" When Princess Yan saw her nephew's behavior, she guessed that the Prince of Yan was going to cause trouble again.
"Just as I expected, the miracle doctor has returned from there. He is also sure that the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance contains something that makes people irritable. Only Tonghua Guiqing can cure it."
"If my guess is correct, Hua Guiqing used this method to seduce King Yan."
"Also, I went over there and added something to Hua Guiqing's wound medicine that would make it difficult for the wound to heal. Whether the two of them will still have deep feelings for each other by then remains to be discussed."
Jiang Zhu sneered. He had deliberately reminded King Yan, but he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to guess right.
Princess Yan looked at Jiang Zhu with loving eyes, "You really are like a sister, you are extremely intelligent. If there is a rift between the two of you in the future, there will definitely be internal strife. If I let someone else come between them, Hua Guiqing will be despised."
"Aunt, you have to pay attention to the craftsmen. Wujiyuan has nothing, and they need help right now. It's better to send someone who can be of use to them at this stage than to send them anything valuable."
Jiang Zhu was not speaking without purpose, Bai Jingzhi had inadvertently revealed it before.
"I will help those craftsmen, and I will also send some great scholars over. What do you think?" Princess Yan expressed her plan. She was unsure of Bai Jingzhi's temper and didn't know whether these things were shabby or not.
"Of course you can. Miss Bai is ambitious. I hope your aunt won't regret it later." Jiang Zhu said the ugly words in advance to avoid being blamed in the future.
"No regrets, as long as Lan'er comes back safely, we will not hand over the Prince of Yan's Mansion to anyone else. If there is real danger, we will have to rely on that Miss Bai for help." Princess Yan did not think about the girl's ambition at this moment, which was different from that of other girls.
"Okay, I'll write a letter tonight and send it to Wujiyuan."
Jiang Zhu left quietly without alerting the patrolling guards.
After six days, the people from Yanzhou set out for Yuzhou to redeem the person.
Princess Yan leaned back in the carriage and gradually felt sleepy.
