Early the next morning, Bai Hu came to Duan Qingyao's yard early, hoping to hear good news from her mouth.
"Promise what?"
Duan Qingyao deliberately pretended to be confused.
"What else could it be? What time has it been? Can you please stop showing off? Does the prince want to send us to another courtyard?"
If it hadn't been an eventful day and it was inconvenient for him to come to Duan Qingyao's yard in the middle of the night, he would have been unable to hold himself back. How could he wait until this morning.
"What's wrong with going to another courtyard? Didn't you say it? It's a paradise there, with mountains, water, orchards, fish ponds, and crops. Let's just treat it as a vacation. It's quite nice!"
Duan Qingyao had a calm tone, as if the place they were going to was not a place of exile, but a paradise.
"Concubine An, that's not the case!"
Bai Hu originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw Xing'er standing by and shook her head at him, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"What the lady said is that it's not interesting to stay in this high-walled compound all the time. It's just a good time to go out for some air and relax! When I was a child in my hometown, I grew crops with my father and my mother.
It’s quite fun to catch dragonflies and crickets in the field, now that I think about it!” https://m.geilwx.Geilwx.Geil Literature Network
Myolie is worthy of being Duan Qingyao’s worry-relieving grass, and she actually paints a somewhat beautiful picture of the boring and hard-working peasant life.
"The carriage is ready. Concubine An, please get on the carriage!"
Early in the morning, the servants had already come to urge me.
At this point, Bai Hu had no choice but to accept his fate.
"If Guard Bai doesn't want to go with us, he can go to the prince to plead for mercy. The prince is not a ruthless person. Considering that you have followed him for so many years, maybe he will be lenient?"
Baihu looked at Xing'er who was nervous beside him, and said firmly: "How can that be done? In nine days, I will get married with Xing'er. Wherever she is, I will be there! If we want to go together, we must stay.
Stay together!"
The sudden confession was like a small hot flame, burning Xing'er's face red.
She didn't dare to look at Bai Hu's naked eyes, and shyly leaned towards the young lady, "Don't talk nonsense! I haven't agreed to marry you yet! Wherever the young lady is, I will be there!"
Bai Hu was so affectionate and righteous that Duan Qingyao couldn't help but look at him.
"If you leave like this, you may never come back. Do you have to think about it?"
Duan Qingyao said something ugly before, because he was afraid that at the expense of the palace's glory and wealth, Baihu would blame Xing'er for holding him back in the future. At that time, it would be really hard to explain!
"You are not afraid, so why should I be afraid? I will go back to the house to get the package!"
Obviously, everyone was already mentally prepared to leave and packed their bags early.
In just one cup of tea, the three of them sat uprightly on the carriage.
He was accompanied by dozens of guards with swords on their waists. Why did this formation feel like they were escorting prisoners?
Duan Qingyao opened the curtain and casually glanced at the hanging plaque. The three large gilded characters of Prince An's Palace shone in the morning sun, stinging his eyes.
"What are you waiting for? Let's set off!"
Seeing each other is like fighting over not seeing each other. This last look is like not seeing each other!
Under Duan Qingyao's order, the team left Prince An's Mansion in a mighty manner and headed south.
In the dark pavilion, Jun Yanan was sitting with an expressionless face, and the cup of tea in his hand had already gone cold.
The obsidian-like eyes looked motionless into the distance, as if observing something carefully, but upon closer inspection, there was no focus in the eyes.
"Your Majesty, the carriage has already set off!"
Jun Yanan nodded, indicating that he heard it.
This was obviously part of his plan, but why was he not happy at all?
"What did the princess say?"
Even if she didn't see Duan Qingyao with her own eyes, even if she didn't hear her complain with her own ears, she must have hated herself in her heart!
"Without saying anything, the princess got into the carriage and immediately set off!"
Xuanwu couldn't understand. The prince obviously cared about the princess so much, why he stubbornly drove her to that place in the other courtyard!
Forget about sending the princess away, why should we send away the white tiger who has always been the most trusted!
"Lead your troops and protect them secretly along the way. Don't let the prince's people take advantage of the loopholes!"
"ah?"
Xuanwu thought at first that the prince called him back in such a hurry just to fill Baihu's vacancy.
After all, the only people the prince trusts the most are his four bodyguards.
But who would have expected that he would be asked to protect Duan Qingyao? What would the prince do?
"But if my subordinate leaves, what will the prince do?"
Qinglong and Suzaku are still working outside and won't be back for a while. If they leave at this time, the palace will really become an empty city.
"I am in the palace, what danger can there be? In your eyes, am I so weak that I don't even have the ability to protect myself?"
In order to reassure Xuanwu, Jun Yanan, who had been sitting upright, simply lifted the blanket covering his legs and suddenly stood up!
"My lord, your legs?"
Not only Xuanwu doesn't know, I believe Qinglong and Zhuque don't know either. They are also discussing in private that no matter what the prince becomes, they will definitely work harder for the prince.
"My leg has been healed for a long time, but I don't want to make it public! Now, can you go with peace of mind?"
No matter how reluctant he is, can he disobey the prince's order?
