Chapter 152 My eyes don’t hurt, but they want to cry!

Chu Huaixu lowered his eyes, his shoulders drooping. "I know I don't know martial arts or medical skills, but as the crown prince, I also want to do something for Dayong. At least if I go, it can boost morale. Youning, don't you agree?"

The person next to Yu Youning nodded in agreement, "Well said! You're right to think so! Don't compare yourself with others, work hard to do what you can! Don't underestimate yourself!"

After saying this, Yu Youning gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

She said it so well!

Now, the prince will definitely be told by her that he is full of confidence and will never complain about himself again!

Chu Huaixu looked up at Yu Youning. The previous dejection had disappeared, and now only excitement and determination remained.

"Youning, I understand! I will work hard and won't let you down!"

"Alright, alright, I get it! Let's go see the Queen!"

Yu Youning urged and left first.

Chu Huaixu glanced at Jiang Lingzhou with a smile, then quickly followed him.

Jiang Lingzhou stood there, his brows tightly furrowed.

A prince like him actually resorts to such scheming tactics!

It's really despicable!

"Junior Brother!"

Yu Youning's voice came from afar.

"Why are you still standing there? Go!"

Jiang Lingzhou took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Here it comes!"

The three of them soon arrived at the Queen's Palace.

But what arrived even faster than them was the news that the prince was going to the north.

The queen had already cried, her eyes were red, and the tear marks on her face were not wiped away.

When the queen saw Chu Huaixu, her eyes were sore and tears were about to fall again. The smile on her lips also became a little bitter.

Chu Huaixu stepped forward quickly, a look of guilt on his face, "Mother! I have made you sad!"

The Queen shook her head. "You are not wrong."

Whether from a public or private perspective, Chu Huaixu's decision to go north was the right one.

But...a mother worries about her son even when he is far away.

Even though she was the queen, she was still worried.

If she was not the queen, but like Yu Tingwan, she could have gone with Chu Huaixu.

But as the mother of a country, she cannot act arbitrarily.

Even though I was extremely reluctant to let him go, I could only bear the pain with tears in my eyes and let him leave with peace of mind.

The queen took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back her tears.

"Xu'er, when you're out, you must take good care of yourself, eat well, rest well, and be safe, okay?"

"I know! Don't worry, mother. I will definitely come back safely!"

"Okay!" The Queen nodded tearfully. "Then have you agreed on when to leave?"

"It should be as soon as possible, probably within the next two days."

"So soon?" The Queen exclaimed, and immediately stood up. "Then Mother will prepare something for you right away."

Chu Huaixu wanted to stop him, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back.

The fact that he was going on a long journey was already worrying his mother enough, and if he didn't ask her to help prepare some things, it would be even more unfilial.

Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Youning, "Youning, I need to be with my mother these two days, so I won't come to look for you. See you when we set off."

Yu Youning nodded obediently, "I understand! Then you stay here and accompany the Queen. My junior brother and I will leave first!"

Chu Huaixu stood up and saw them both out until they were out of sight. Then he returned to the palace, watched the queen pack her things, and talked to her.

On the other side, Jiang Lingzhou and Yu Youning were walking together on the official road. When they were halfway there, they saw Marshal Wen.

Marshal Wen did not see the prince, nor did he ask any questions. He led the two people out of the palace.

Only after they were seated in the carriage did Marshal Wen speak, "The Emperor has just said that it is better to leave early rather than late. He wants you to leave early tomorrow morning, quietly, without letting too many people know."

The prince's departure from the capital is a major event.

If the news gets out and is heard by someone with ulterior motives, they will inevitably have some inappropriate thoughts.

If the news were to reach Xiliang or Nanzhao, and the two countries took the opportunity to murder the prince, it would be even more troublesome.

It's best to leave quietly without letting anyone know.

Once we get to the north, we will have the Zhenbei Army there, and there will be no need to be afraid once the news gets out.

Yu Youning was reluctant to leave before, but now that he heard that they were leaving tomorrow, he became interested.

"Okay, okay! So how do we get there? Should we take a carriage?"

Marshal Wen gave Yu Youning a strange look and asked, "What else can we ride if not a carriage?"

With her small body, could she really want to gallop on horseback and rush all the way to the north?

Yu Youning originally wanted to say that he would sit on Teng Snake.

But after thinking about it, I didn't say it.

The appearance of Teng Snake in the world is bound to cause turmoil. Unless it is an extremely urgent matter, it is better not to let Teng Snake come out.

When Yu Youning thought of Teng Snake, he thought of Wei Zhao's mother.

Wei Zhao left the capital and entrusted his mother to her.

Now that she is leaving too, should I go and see her?

Tell her?

Yu Youning thought about it and immediately said, "Grandfather, stop the car, I want to get off!"

"Why are you getting off the car?" Marshal Wen looked puzzled.

"I have other things to do! I'm not going back now. I'll go back when I'm done! Grandfather, don't ask."

Marshal Wen frowned.

They are about to leave the capital, what is Yu Youning going to do?

Could it be that he was going to say goodbye to someone he knew?

"Grandfather, I want to get off the car!" Yu Youning said again.

Seeing Yu Youning's anxious face, Marshal Wen finally stopped the carriage and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you get off. Do you want me to send someone to follow you?"

"don't want!"

Jiang Lingzhou hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old Marshal, I will accompany Youning and will not let anything happen to Youning."

Jiang Lingzhou is a few years older than Yu Youning and looks more stable.

Marshal Wen knew that Jiang Lingzhou was not only an excellent doctor, but also a powerful martial artist.

Yu Youning’s own abilities are also not weak.

There shouldn't be any problems for the two of them in the capital, so I just let them be.

Yu Youning stood there, watching the carriage go away, and then said to Jiang Lingzhou, "Junior Brother, I'm going to visit a friend's mother. Please help keep it a secret!"

Jiang Lingzhou didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at Yu Youning with a smile and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

Although there was no Chu Huaixu to lead the way, it was not Yu Youning's first time here, and he found the place by himself.

When the gatekeeper saw that it was Yu Youning who came with people, he did not stop him and quickly let Yu Youning in.

Jiang Niyue was painting. Seeing Yu Youning coming, she put down her brush and looked at her with a smile, "Youning, you're here."

She stayed in the yard all day, never going out, and no one would tell her what was happening outside.

If it weren't for the fact that she could communicate with Wei Zhao, Yu Youning would occasionally visit her with Chu Huaixu. She would truly be isolated from the world.

However, Jiang Niyue didn't like crowds, and she didn't like interacting with people.

To others, the days in this yard might seem as hard as being in prison, but she liked them very much and enjoyed them immensely.

It’s just that I haven’t seen Yu Youning for more than 20 days, so I’m a little worried.

Now that I finally see it, I feel a lot more relieved.

Yu Youning leaned over to take a look at Jiang Niyue's painting. Seeing the content on the painting, she exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie, you are drawing me!"

On the drawing paper, there are not only Yu Youning, but also Wei Zhao, Chu Huaixu, and Huo Qingchen.

This was the scene when they last came here together.

Yu Youning stared at it for a long time, "Auntie, your painting is so beautiful!"

"Youning likes it? Then I'll give it to Youning after the painting is finished and framed." Jiang Niyue said with a smile.

"Okay! Then when I come back, Auntie will definitely have finished the painting."

"Come back? Where is Youning going?"

"I'm going on a long trip and it will probably take a few months for me to come back. I can't come to see you during this time. Don't worry, auntie. Take good care of yourself!"

Jiang Niyue wanted to ask Yu Youning where he was going, but in the end she didn't ask.

If he could say it, Yu Youning would have said it directly.

She didn't say anything, so she must have kept it a secret.

Jiang Niyue looked at Yu Youning gently, "Then Youning, be careful on the road. Take care of yourself when you go out. The weather is getting colder day by day. You have to take care of yourself, wear more clothes and eat well. I know you are a good doctor, but you also have to be careful and don't be careless."

Listening to Jiang Niyue's gentle instructions, Yu Youning felt his eyes sore and achy, and he raised his hands to cover his eyes.

This action came so suddenly that both Jiang Niyue and Jiang Lingzhou were startled.

"Youning, what's wrong with you? Do your eyes hurt?"

"Youning! Let go quickly and let me see your eyes!"

Yu Youning covered her eyes and shook her head, "My eyes don't hurt, they just want to cry!"

Hearing this, Jiang Niyue and Jiang Lingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Niyue raised her hand and gently patted Yu Youning's back, "Youning is such a good child."

Not only is he kind and loyal, but he is also so emotional.

It took Yu Youning a while to put down her hand, but her eyes were still a little red.

"Auntie, can you draw my little brother too?"

Yu Youning said this, pointing at Jiang Lingzhou beside him.

Jiang Niyue immediately agreed with a smile, "Of course, that's fine. I'll make a rough draft first and then add to it later."

As she spoke, she picked up a pen and began to draw quickly on a blank piece of paper.

With just a few strokes, Jiang Lingzhou comes to life on paper.

"That's great!" Yu Youning exclaimed again, "Auntie is so amazing! Auntie is the best painter I've ever seen!"

Jiang Niyue's face flushed slightly at Yu Youning's sincere and enthusiastic praise.

"Youning is also the cutest and best girl I have ever met!"

She and Zhao'er lived a miserable life in the Nanzhao Palace.

Due to various experiences, Zhao'er has an introverted personality and never shows his true emotions.

Although he would occasionally smile, the smile never reached his eyes.

Only when she looked at Yu Youning, hope would light up in Zhao'er's eyes and the brightest smile would appear on her face.

The reason why she wanted to draw Youning was that she wanted to find an opportunity to give it to Zhaoer in the future.

Let Zhao'er smile more when no one is around.
