Chang Sui'an had obviously never heard of the name Yaojin.

But when he saw the young woman who walked in, he felt that she looked familiar.

When Chang Sui'an was trying to recall, the woman came to his bed and bowed: "Mr. Chang."

This voice made Chang Sui'an's face change, and he almost jumped up: "...Why is it you!"

This voice, this person, has often appeared in his nightmares since they met in the cemetery that day!

In his dream, he was captured by this person and taken back to Xuanzhou, and imprisoned in the mansion of the eldest princess who had countless male favorites. He fell into the hands of the girls in the mansion, and from then on, no one could help him! He was injured at the moment and could not get up, so he could only hug the quilt in front of his chest.

"..." Yao Jin said shyly: "It is the maidservant."

Chang Sui'an looked at his sister anxiously: "Ningning..."

How could he be allowed into the mansion? Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? Seeing this, Yao Jin realized that her casual words had left a big shadow on the young man. She hurriedly explained and comforted him, "Don't worry, Mr. Chang... I was just following him on a whim before. What's more, I swore an oath that day that I would never have the same idea again."

Chang Sui'an was half-believing and half-doubting: "Then why are you here at this time?"

"Brother, you don't know that the reason why I was able to successfully clear your name this time was thanks to the secret help of Yao Jin instructed by Princess Xuan'an..." Chang Suining explained the whole process to him.

Chang Sui'an was quite surprised after hearing this: "Father actually has such a close relationship with Grand Princess Xuan'an?"

He had never heard his father mention it, and Ningning had asked about it before, but his father even insisted that he "didn't know" the Grand Princess Xuan'an.

"General Chang is a military commander after all." Yao Jin said, "And my mistress manages the fiefdom of Xuanzhou. Although she is the eldest princess, she is no different from a local vassal king. In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, she has been avoiding suspicion for many years."

Chang Sui'an suddenly realized, "I was wondering why Dad looked weird when he said he 'didn't recognize' the Grand Princess... I see!"

Yaojin smiled and agreed with the boy's self-persuasion.

"I'm sorry. I was reckless and ignorant just now, and I was rude at the time..."

Chang Sui'an looked at Yao Jin apologetically, admitted his mistake first, and then thanked him: "Thank you very much for your help this time."

Yao Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Chang, you are too kind. This is my duty."

Part of my job?

Chang Sui'an just felt that something was wrong, and then she heard the other party explain: "I am just following the master's orders."

So, Chang Sui'an said, "Then please convey my gratitude to Grand Princess Xuan'an. If there is a chance in the future, I will thank Her Highness in person with her."

Yao Jin smiled and nodded, then asked about Chang Sui'an's injuries with concern.

Not only was she concerned, Chang Sui'an himself was also concerned. He realized that his shoulder was seriously injured and was very worried that he would not be able to lift a knife or a gun in the future.

"... Ningning, how serious is my injury? You don't have to hide it from me, I just want to know the truth." Chang Sui'an looked at his sister with a serious look.

Chang Suining: "Brother was seriously injured, with many wounds. In addition to being tortured, his shoulder was also stabbed, and his flesh was penetrated, injuring his tendons and bones."

Chang Sui'an quietly grasped the corner of the quilt, waiting for his sister to continue.

He had just been admitted to the vanguard battalion of the Xuan Ce Army and had never been on the battlefield.

"So, brother, you need at least a year and a half to recover." Chang Suining said, "Recovering from the injury is extremely important. Brother, you must not be careless or impatient."

Chang Sui'an: "After I recover, can I still carry a knife?"

Chang Suining smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to be a general, how can you not be able to carry a sword?"

Chang Sui'an's eyes lit up immediately, "Then I will definitely take good care of it!"

Then, he asked worriedly, "Ningning, you are really not lying to me, are you?"

"If an ordinary person were injured in this way, there would be no hope of recovery. However, you have a good foundation and a strong physique, much stronger than an ordinary person—"

Chang Suining said, "Moreover, the doctor Sun I found told me privately that not long after brother was injured in the shoulder, someone must have applied medicine to stop the bleeding. Judging from his pulse, he also took good medicine to treat the injury, so he was able to stabilize the injury in time."

After a person is injured, it is important to grasp the best time for treatment. The longer the delay, the more difficult it will be to treat.

"Brother, you should know who sent the medicine?" Chang Suining assumed that it was Yao Tingwei's arrangement, and for the sake of confirmation, he asked casually.

This question made Chang Sui'an stunned: "Didn't my sister ask someone to go and see me?"

Chang Suining was startled: "Why do you say that, brother?"

Chang Sui'an reluctantly recalled: "I was in a daze at the time and didn't know who came, but the man told me that he was asked by my sister to come and tell me that he was safe..."

Chang Suining thought to herself, was it someone under Yao Tingwei who said this on purpose to reassure her brother? "I'll have someone investigate this matter." She said, "Just rest assured and recover from your injuries."

Chang Sui'an nodded obediently.

Yao Jin said at this time: "In our Grand Princess's residence, there happens to be a doctor who is very good at treating sword and sword injuries and bone injuries. Your Highness found him in his early years, and his medical skills are very advanced--"

Chang Suining and Chang Sui'an couldn't help but look at her. Why would Princess Xuan'an's mansion have a doctor who was good at treating such injuries?

Seeing the brother and sister looking at him, Yao Jin tried to suggest, "Winter is about to come. The cold and damp weather in the capital is not conducive to recovery. The climate in Xuanzhou is relatively warm and suitable... I wonder if Mr. Chang is willing to go to Xuanzhou to recuperate?"

Chang Sui An was slightly surprised: "Isn't this... inappropriate?"

"Lord Chang, are you worried that the war in Yangzhou will affect Xuanzhou?" Yao Jin smiled, "Those rebels are under the pretext of supporting the Li family. My master is a legitimate descendant of the Li family. They have no reason and dare not attack Xuanzhou."

And her master has more than just male favorites.

"No..." Chang Sui'an said, "What I meant by inappropriate is that I rashly went to disturb you, which is probably not in accordance with etiquette."

Moreover, this proposal was too sudden. Did the other party dare to invite him to Xuanzhou without the permission of her master?

"How could it be." Yao Jin smiled and said, "The master has already told me in his previous letter that if the situation gets bad, we will rescue Chang Langjun from prison and take you to Xuanzhou to avoid disaster temporarily."

Chang Sui'an was flattered - this Princess Xuan'an, is she too kind? Or, is she too close to his father?

But going to Xuanzhou... was still too sudden. Chang Sui'an subconsciously looked at the backbone of the family.

The backbone said: "This is a very good suggestion. I was planning to leave Beijing and go south with my brother after his injury gets better."

Yao Jin's eyes lit up: "Xuanzhou is suitable for recuperation, and it is more stable under the rule. It would be great if Madam Chang could go with Mr. Chang!"

If General Chang knew that his two children had fallen into the hands of His Highness... well, she meant, that they were being taken care of by His Highness, I wonder how General Chang would feel?

Yaojin has begun to feel the joy of having the upper hand on behalf of his own prince.

"What do you think, brother?" Chang Suining asked.

Chang Sui'an felt that his mind was still a little confused, so he left everything to his sister: "Ningning, you decide..."

"I was originally thinking of visiting Grand Princess Xuan'an on the way, so this will kill two birds with one stone." Chang Suining said with a smile: "Brother can also thank Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess in person."

Yao Jin immediately decided on this matter after hearing this: "The maid will immediately send a message back to Xuanzhou and have someone start making arrangements."

Chang Suining: "Thank you very much."

"But..." Chang Sui'an suddenly remembered what he had just said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it break the agreement between my father and the Grand Princess to avoid suspicion?"

Yao Jin laughed and said, "My dear, you are confused, so you should go there secretly. How can you make a big show of it?"

Chang Suining nodded: "Yes, then just tell others that I took my brother to find a doctor."

There is absolutely no reason for the saint to stop such things.

"I'll go write the letter first." Yao Jin was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the Chang brothers and sisters might regret it. "We'll discuss the rest of the matter slowly in the next few days."

After she sent the letter, it would be difficult for this lady Chang to go back on her word, right? Yao Jin walked out of Chang Sui'an's courtyard briskly, with an even wider smile on her face.

If she can really bring these two children to Xuanzhou this time, then in the eyes of His Highness, Nuwa repairing the sky may not be as great a contribution as hers!

Yaojin was overjoyed and careful, and he consciously wove a perfect big net.

Little did she know that this was exactly why Chang Suining invited her here tonight.

Chang Suining did not lie, her original plan was to go to the south, and it was true that she wanted to visit her former aunt along the way.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But my brother needs to recover from his injuries, and it will take not ten days or half a month, but a year.

If she stayed in the capital for a year, everything would be too late and she would be surrounded by countless crises, so she had to take her brother away. However, how to properly place her brother and provide him with good conditions for recuperation was a problem that needed to be considered in advance.

So she thought of Xuanzhou.

The south is in chaos, but Xuanzhou is a place of peace in the chaos.

Hearing that Yaojin wanted to come and visit her brother, she decided to give it a try and was ready to mention the matter of leaving Beijing to Yaojin - but who knew that while she was laying the groundwork and before she could even say a word, the other party couldn't wait to give her the answer she wanted to hear most.

How should I put it...it comes without any effort.

From this we can see even more clearly that Princess Xuan'an really cares about my brother.

Although Yaojin is a maid, her attitude as a servant must be instructed by her master.

Her bold guess was becoming more and more true...

Chang Suining thought so and couldn't help but look carefully at the young man on the bed.

Chang Sui'an, who was in deep thought, couldn't help but ask, "Ningning, have you thought of anything?"

"I was thinking, if we go to Xuanzhou, we can keep an eye on the battle situation of father and his men in the future, which is really killing two birds with one stone." Chang Suining said with a smile: "If everything goes well, after my brother's injury is completely healed, we can go to the northern border to find Xuan Ce's army."

Chang Sui'an's situation is special, so the Emperor of the Holy Ce specifically ordered Xuan Ce Mansion to reserve a reserve spot for Chang Sui'an in the vanguard army until he recovers from his injury.

There is no need for the Emperor of the Holy Ce to give instructions, the Xuan Ce Mansion will be preserved, but the king must always express his willingness to make amends in all aspects for the world to see.

"Ningning, if we can really go to Xuanzhou, it would be a win-win situation... But I just calmed down and thought about it. The so-called relationship between Grand Princess Xuan'an and my father is just one-sided. What if there is a lie? Should we write a letter to my father to ask first?"

But my father is busy with the war now, and it will take time to send letters back and forth.

"Don't worry, brother. The friendship is real. I have confirmed it long before letting Yaojin participate in the plan to rescue you." Chang Suining said.

"How did my sister confirm it?" After going through this ordeal, Chang Sui'an had become more careful and attentive, and he used all of them at this moment.

Chang Suining hesitated for a moment, "Brother, do you really want to hear it?"

Chang Sui'an nodded seriously.

Chang Suining: "She said that my brother has a birthmark on his buttocks that looks like a cloud."

Chang Sui'an: "......?!"

After a huge shock, the boy was horrified: "She...how did she know that!"

Chang Suining: "My father told me."

Chang Sui'an now completely believed the words of friendship.

But looking at the girl in front of him, his cheeks suddenly trembled, and he realized that the problem was far more complicated than that...

"Sister... then..." The young man asked with a nearly red face, "Then how did you know?"

Chang Suining: "My father told me."

The answer is what my father said when he was drunk.

Chang Sui'an almost fainted again. He hated "Why is my father like this?" and also hated himself "Why do I have to ask?"

He was eager to change the subject: "But...even if we are really on good terms, people's hearts are fickle, and there is a war over there. What if after we go to Xuanzhou, the Grand Princess takes you and me as hostages?"

After experiencing a frame-up that nearly cost him his life, he is now very good at reading the dark side of people's hearts.

This speculation continued to deepen: "What if the eldest princess also wants to fight for power and use us to threaten my father?"

Chang Suining: "Then Father, just obey."

Chang Sui'an: “?!”

What a lewd remark! Chang Suining: "Anyway, the eldest princess is powerful and rich, and her surname is Li. She has a legitimate reason to fight for power, and my father won't suffer any loss if he follows her."

"Brother, you should know that the Saint's treatment of the Chang family is destined to be short-lived. The chaos has already occurred, and having an extra retreat or ally is never a bad thing."

Chang Suining's tone gradually became more serious: "It is not advisable to seek the skin of a tiger, but Princess Xuan'an is not a tiger to us. This can be seen from the fact that Yao Jin did not hesitate, did not hold back, and did not expect anything in return when she rescued my brother. There is real kindness in this."

Before the other party heard her plan, he confessed to her that he had planted a secret agent in the Ming family - this is a very confidential matter for any force, and it is self-evident that it is planted in the emperor's mother's family. The taboos and implications are huge.

Such a person would be a good ally even if they cooperated. Compared with Li Lu's tactics that were full of calculations and threats, and even watched and condoned the formation of a dead end before "giving a helping hand", the difference was obvious.

When observing people, you must use strategies and wisdom, but you must also observe their hearts with their hearts.

Moreover, this was also a hypothesis after turning everything into a "conspiracy". In her opinion, Princess Xuan'an's act of rescue might not contain any calculation, but she just wanted to save the young man beside her.

There is some purity that she cannot possess, but she always believes in its existence.

…

Ten days later, the case of Ming Jin murdering his eldest grandson Qiniangzi was finally settled. The emperor had shown a spirit of sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice, and the people boldly applauded for it.

On the same day, Prince Rong came again.

During these ten days, he came every three days.

This time, he finally met Chang Suining as he wished.

Good night everyone, see you tomorrow~
