As soon as Dong Nuan took out her storybook, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
If there was no emergency, the servants in the house would not make such a sound.
These servants in charge of my house are all arranged and trained by the royal family.
Dong Nuan's heart skipped a beat, and she had some bad premonitions.
Qingzhu hurried in: "Princess, someone from Jiangzhou said that the Marquis is not in good health, and wants the Princess and the Commander to rush back as soon as possible."
"What?" When Dong Nuan heard this, she sat up in shock.
After expressing doubts, he quickly realized what he was doing. There was no need for Qingzhu to repeat himself. Dong Nuan had already turned around and started to prepare: "Prepare two sets of clothes, something that is convenient for traveling. I should have made a few of them before and packed more with my banknotes."
Some, and also some cash, two packages are enough, no need to bring more, go to the backyard and have a look, how is the condition of Stepping on the Cloud? Where is Feixue?"
Dong Nuan has a few good horses in the backyard. They are not used much when driving carriages. They are usually used for riding horses in the countryside.
For this kind of event, the only people who can get appointments are girls like Meng Rong and Wu Ruoruo who are well-armed.
However, everyone is busy and does not have much time to ride.
Now it comes in handy, Dong Nuan said, while mentally calculating the physical condition of Mr. Han.
If it really doesn't work, then Hanjiang Tower...
I really have to wait three years before ending.
Dayue has regulations that those whose parents have been deceased for less than three years are not allowed to take part in the provincial examination.
But now is not the time to think about this, the old man's body is more important.
If possible, Dong Nuan still hopes that the other party's body will be healthy for a long time.
"Send someone to the academy to call the commander-in-chief, explain the situation clearly to him, and ask him to ask for leave from the master." If my father is seriously ill, he can still ask for leave.
Dong Nuan prepared as calmly as possible.
The people at Hanjiang Tower didn't expect that Mr. Han suddenly became unwell.
Obviously last year, he looked very tough.
Even though there were some hidden injuries in the early years, the overall performance is still good.
Hanjianglou now no longer cares about whether he will end up, all he thinks about is the old man's body.
It's a shame that he doesn't know medical skills, so they won't be of use at this time, and the road to Jiangzhou is a bit far, so I don't know if they can get there in time.
Hanjianglou returned home soon. When he came back, Dong Nuan had already prepared a number of items, including two packages, a few clothes, some money, and dry food.
From Beijing to Jiangzhou, if you work hard, you can get there in three days, but it will be more difficult for the people and horses on the road.
But the old man's body doesn't know how to wait, so he is not afraid of this kind of hardship in winter.
Seeing Hanjianglou coming back, Dong Nuan nodded: "Let's go, husband."
Hanjiang Tower did not expect that Dong Nuan had already prepared, and only two horses were prepared, which meant that the two of them would ride back to Jiangzhou.
But the little girl’s body…
Well, Dong Nuan's body is very good, and he can ride a horse even faster than him.
At this time, Hanjianglou was heartbroken, but he was also worried about the situation over there with Mr. Han.
No matter what, they were willing to recognize him as their son in the first place and didn't care much about his troublesome identity, for which Hanjiang Tower was grateful.
The other party is also very good to Hanjianglou, and has been sending him some study experiences and various study materials since the beginning of the year.
If I hadn't taken the exam this year, Hanjianglou would actually want to go to Jiangzhou to visit relatives after the Chinese New Year.
As a result, it has been delayed until now.
At this time, Hanjianglou and Dongnuan quickly got on the horse without saying anything else.
When dealing with matters at the house, Dongnuan was handed over to Qingzhu and the housekeeper.
"Remember to send someone to Master Zhuangzi and tell Cao Mansion that we are going to Jiangzhou and the return date has not yet been determined." Dong Nuan had already told the housekeeper and Qingzhu about the situation that needed to be explained when he was preparing.
At this time, I just don't feel relieved and say a few more words.
Then, he whipped up his horse and set off quickly.
At this time, the city gate has been closed. If you want to leave the palace, you need to have a sign from the palace to let you go.
Dong Nuan had already thought of this.
Mr. Han was once the emperor's master, and there is news that his condition is not good. Dong Nuan has been sent to the palace.
The emperor also sent people overnight, preparing to follow Dong Nuan and the others.
Therefore, it is not difficult to open the city gate.
Dongnuan and Hanjianglou, plus four guards sent by the emperor, left the city overnight.
At first, the four guards thought that Dong Nuan, with her small body, might not be able to last long if she slept in the open air.
However, they rode horses, walked at night, and rode quickly until the next morning.
People seem to be in good spirits, but they seem to be in a bad state.
Seeing them like this, Hanjianglou was also a little tired. Dongnuan nodded: "Go to the inn to rest for two hours, and then continue on your way."
The idea of Dongnuan is very simple. It should pass as quickly as possible. If the power of his own source really has an effect on the body, even if it is not much, it will be good if it can make Mr. Han live a few more days.
She doesn't have a deep relationship with Mr. Han, but he treats Hanjianglou well. She upholds her love for Wujiwu and is willing to take care of him more.
Of course, there is another concern, which is the warmth in winter.
She was afraid that the other party would be gone now, and Hanjiang Tower would have to wait another three years for his fate.
Although it is said that Hanjiang Tower will end up winning this year, it may not be possible.
But, it is still an opportunity to exercise.
Now that I have finished this time, I have gained experience. Three years later, I won’t be too panicked.
But this kind of thing is too impersonal to say at this time, just know it in your heart.
As soon as they heard that they could rest, the four guards breathed a sigh of relief.
They ate quickly and went to bed. It seemed that they had not slept long before they were woken up by Dongnuan and continued on their way.
From Beijing to Jiangzhou, it takes almost three days to get there quickly.
Of course, people cannot rest for too long during the process. If the horse is tired and cannot keep up, it needs to be replaced.
But Dongnuan is a good horse with good endurance, and Dongnuan itself has good physical strength.
However, even if the guarding horses were from the palace, they were still inferior.
During the process, they changed horses once halfway through, and it was with Dong Nuan, the princess's residence, that the magistrate helped them change horses.
After three days and four nights, they arrived in Jiangzhou.
When it arrives, the sky will be bright and people will be exhausted.
Except for Dong Nuan, who was in good spirits, even though his physical strength was as good as that of Hanjiang Tower, he looked miserable and haggard.
On the road for three days and four nights, we can rest for up to two hours each day. Sometimes if we are in good condition, we may rush on the road directly.
Anyway, the four guards felt like they had lost a layer of skin.
After entering Jiangzhou, my mind was confused.
The prefect of Jiangzhou was Mr. Han's son-in-law, so when he heard that Dong Nuan and the others were coming back, he sent someone directly to pick him up.
The person who came to pick him up was the old housekeeper of Zhou Mansion. He was shocked when he saw the state of several people.
