Jiang Xiaohua looked at the steward and asked, "If I go to Lingnan today, how many days will it take to arrive?"
The steward said: "If Miss Jiang can trust me, I will escort Miss Jiang all the way south. We will arrive in two days!"
This should be done sooner rather than later.
No one can guarantee that nothing will happen to her father in the Lingnan Dungeon.
Jiang Xiaohua has been here for so long.
I never had the chance to meet this father.
She must go.
Jiang Xiaohua took out a pen and paper from her pocket, wrote a letter to Ling Wenjing, and handed it to the steward: "Uncle, please help me deliver this letter to the Crown Prince Ling Wenjing. I will leave now."
The steward nodded: "Don't worry!"
——————
Lu Qing is arriving today.
Ling Wenjing asked Asahikawa to call Jiang Xiaohua.
Asahikawa went to knock on Jiang Xiaohua's room, but it was Xiaohachi who came out.
Asahikawa was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is your master?"
Xiaoba: "The young master left early in the morning."
"Gone?" Asahikawa frowned: "Where have you gone?"
Xiaoba: “Went to the outskirts of the city!”
Asahikawa called Hachi back together to resume his life.
Then I saw Gu Jiu coming back.
The moment Gu Jiu saw Xiao Ba, he suddenly remembered that he had not told the prince about Miss Jiang's affairs.
I sent Miss Luo home last night, but she came back late.
Didn't say it.
Gu Jiu was assigned a task early this morning and didn't bother to talk about it.
Tsk!
It's all his fault.
Gu Jiu followed Asahikawa and Xiaoba into the prince's room.
"Miss Jiang is out!" Asahikawa said to Ling Wenjing.
Ling Wenjing was also a little surprised: "Going out? Where did you go? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Asahikawa wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Gu Jiu.
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang was here last night!" Gu Jiu said.
"Been here? When?" Ling Wenjing asked.
Gu Jiu said quickly: "When Miss Luo was in your room, Miss Jiang came to see you for something. She heard noises in your room and didn't come in. Miss Jiang asked me to tell you that she was going to the outskirts of the city early this morning.
A pavilion ten miles away."
Ling Wenjing frowned: "What is she doing there?"
Gu Jiu: "I asked too. Miss Jiang said she was going to meet a friend. I told her to send a few people to escort her there, but she didn't want to."
Ling Wenjing glared at Gu Jiu: "She said no, so you didn't send anyone to follow her."
Gu Jiu: "I..."
Ling Wenjing's face darkened: "Since you said it last night, why are you telling me now! Gu Jiu: "I..."
"Asahikawa, prepare your horses!" Ling Wenjing was worried.
Knowing that the prince was in a bad mood at this time, he wanted to go to the pavilion ten miles outside the city to find Miss Jiang.
Asahikawa still asked: "Master, aren't we going to pick up Mr. Lu?"
Ling Wenjing: "He has hands and feet, and he's not stupid. What's there to pick up? It's not like he doesn't know where we live. He can just come by himself. Hurry up and prepare your horses!"
Turning around, he saw Gu Jiu and Xiao Ba still standing dumbfounded. He raised his eyebrows and said to Gu Jiu, "Why are you still standing there? Go pick up Lu Qing."
Xiaoba pointed at himself: "Then... what about me?"
"Your young master went out and you didn't follow him?" Ling Wenjing asked.
Xiaoba shook his head: "My master didn't want me to follow him. He asked me to spend money on the street."
Upon hearing this, Ling Wenjing almost laughed out of anger at Xiaoba.
"Why are you asked to spend money? Do you want to buy something?" Ling Wenjing asked.
Xiaoba realized almost belatedly that he couldn't talk about this matter, at least not in front of the prince.
Xiaoba couldn't lie, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.
Ling Wenjing found it funny: "Why haven't you spoken yet? Your little master won't let you speak?"
Xiaoba shook his head.
"Then...does this matter have something to do with me?" Ling Wenjing continued to ask.
Xiaoba nodded.
Ling Wenjing laughed dumbly, does it really matter?
Ling Wenjing smiled: "Then you really have to tell me what's going on. It's okay if you don't tell me. From now on, don't follow your little master."
Xiaoba immediately shook his head: "This can't work! I must follow the little master!"
Ling Wenjing continued: "Then you should explain everything clearly. If you don't tell me, what if your little master is in danger because of this matter?"
Xiaoba glanced at the prince, turned around and ran away.
After a while he ran back again.
He handed Ling Wenjing two bottles of medicine.
"Is this medicine made by your little master?"
Xiaoba shook his head: "It's poison."
Ling Wenjing raised the corners of her lips: "Who gave it to you?"
Xiao Ba shook his head: "I don't know. They forced it on me and gave me a lot of gold leaves. They asked me to bring it back to the young master and let him drug you. Master, I didn't want to harm you.
But if I don't accept it, they will kill me, and the young master says I did the right thing."
Ling Wenjing smiled: "Your little master is right, tell me why your little master asked you to continue spending money on the street?"
Xiaoba: "My little master said, let me continue to go to the streets. If I encounter those offering money or poison, I will accept them all."
Ling Wenjing: "What then?"
Xiaoba: "You also said that if those people ask why you haven't been given the medicine yet? Just say... just say that this matter is very difficult, and you have to figure it out slowly, not in a hurry!"
Ling Wenjing smiled and said: "What a great Xu Xu Tuzhi! Your little master is right, let's do it like this."
Xiaoba hesitated for a moment: "Master Shizi, you...you don't blame us!"
Ling Wenjing shook his head and said with a smile: "Listen to your little master, you can't be wrong."
Asahikawa ran over: "Your Majesty, okay, let's go!"
Ling Wenjing and Asahikawa had just arrived outside the inn and were about to get on their horses.
A carriage came at a gallop.
Stopped next to Ling Wenjing.
"Brother Prince! Wait a minute!" Luo Qinfang called for someone before she even got out of the car.
Asahikawa whispered behind Ling Wenjing: "Your Majesty, it's Miss Luo!"
Luo Qinfang got off the carriage and carried a basket in her hand.
"Brother Prince, where are you going so early?"
Ling Wenjing frowned: "Why are you here?"
Luo Qinfang glanced at Ling Wenjing and smiled shyly: "If the prince's brother doesn't go home, won't it be okay for my sister to come and see you?"
Asahikawa felt that Miss Luo was acting a little strange. She opened her mouth and shut her mouth just like her sister, and her sister's.
The reason why the prince recognized her as his sister was not because he saw Miss Luo as pitiful. After losing her brother, she was alone and he just helped her. He really regarded himself as his sister.
These personal guards, to put it bluntly, their lives belong to the prince.
It is natural to die for the Crown Prince, and it is a worthy death.
"Brother Shizi, this is the soup that my sister made by herself. I don't know if it's right for your taste!"
