But after all, she wasn't the original owner of this body.

We won't hesitate to use them. Therefore, we should maintain them when necessary.

No one else cares, but since they're born of the same mother, they still have to put on an act.

Naturally, it is not uncommon for wild geese to travel south.

He looked at the things and sneered, "Throw them out!"

The servant hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, you mustn't! This... even if you don't care about the eldest young lady, you should at least care about His Highness the Crown Prince. This was sent from the Crown Prince's residence; how can you throw it away?"

Yan Nanji's face was not good. Although he did not say anything more about throwing it out, his expression was gloomy.

"So what if he's the crown prince? How long can he be the crown prince?"

"Oh, young master! You can't say that! Especially not in our family. Our master is a great general. How can people listen to such things?" The servant was terrified.

"Get lost, get lost, you're so annoying." Yan Nanji understood this perfectly well and waved his hand.

The servant hurriedly retreated, his heart filled with growing contempt for his young master.

What's wrong with your brain?

In the past, although the Yan family treated the geese harshly when they returned south, there were no obvious conflicts within the family like there are now.

Ever since Yan Nangui entered the Crown Prince's residence, the old lady's attitude has become ambiguous.

The second wife's daughter was disfigured again.

The third daughter went to the Meng family, and the eldest princess also encountered a series of problems. Recently, she even had the household servants watch a grand opera.

Now this reputation is also...

At this point, everyone looked back and discovered that the second son, who shared the same mother as the eldest son and daughter, wasn't very bright.

The difference becomes clear once you compare them.

Regardless of any disagreements or arguments the siblings had before the eldest daughter was married, weren't they born of the same mother? There was nothing truly sordid about them.

How did things get to this point?

The biological sister seems to be a sworn enemy, while the stepmother is treated like a precious treasure?

The servant was very puzzled.

For some reason, the second young master actually looked down on the crown prince.

After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the eldest daughter of the Yan family will become a concubine in the palace.

Isn't it good enough that it's readily available?

Why wait for the fourth daughter to marry the prince?

None of that is definitive.

The servant knew that the relationship between the eldest princess and the empress's line was not good, but the second young master was not the eldest princess's biological son!

Is he mentally challenged?

The servant showed no expression on his face, but inwardly he shook his head.

These pampered children have really been spoiled.

What a pity.

He's not young anymore; he's neither good at academics nor at martial arts.

At the Crown Prince's residence, Yan Nangui had some clothes packed, but not too much jewelry, so she could buy some new clothes there.

Just bring what you need for daily use.

Those who were going out asked people to make preparations.

However, those who don't go out have other things to do.

Liu Fengyi's maid, Yin'e, came out from outside, carrying something in her arms.

The people living with Wang Fengyi didn't see clearly before Yin'e ran inside.

"My lady, I found something." Yin'e carefully unfolded what she was holding. It was a light pink dress.

The hem of the skirt was torn, but overall it was still clear that it wasn't the clothing of servants.

"Does this dress look familiar?" Yin'e reminded her when she saw that she was a little stunned. "Didn't you meet Consort Ye in the garden a while ago? You even praised Consort Ye's daughter, Xiang'er, for her beautiful clothes."

At that time, Liu Fengyi flattered her, saying that the maid's clothes were now as good as hers.

Liu Fengyi looked closely and nodded: "Is this the dress that Xiang'er wore that day? Ye Liangdi said it was a gift from her to Xiang'er?"

“That’s right.” Yin’e said, “When I went to pick flowers, this dress was behind a stone at a corner in the garden. I guess the sweepers were too lazy this morning and didn’t look closely at that corner.”

"Great! How did this dress end up in the garden?" Liu Fengyi's eyes lit up. "Let's go! Come with me to find the Crown Princess."

"Fengyi, calm down, don't be anxious." Yin'e pulled her along: "Going there rashly now is obviously not going to work. Why don't you speak slowly and let the Crown Princess handle this matter herself?"

Who in the mansion doesn't know the relationship between the Crown Princess and Consort Ye?

Now that Consort Ye is pregnant, can the Crown Princess be happy?

Although Liu Fengyi was from Fengcheng and was associated with Consort Ye, she hated her to death.

After all, if it weren't for Consort Ye's interference back then, Consort Liu would not have only served the emperor once.

How embarrassing?

However, Ye Liangdi is too high and mighty to remember or care about this matter.

But Liu Fengyi has endured all these years.

"Go to the kitchen and get a bowl of su lao luo (a type of cheese), I'll take it to the Crown Princess in a bit," said Liu Fengyi.

"Yes, this servant will go right away," Yin'e replied hastily.

So that evening, Liu Fengyi took a food box and went to the main courtyard.

Others assumed she wanted to go south, so she came to ask the Crown Princess for help.

I didn't think much of it.

Lord Yan did prepare a batch of grain after all, so he set off on time early on the eleventh day of the month.

Before dawn, the Crown Prince went into the palace to bid farewell to His Majesty and the Empress.

Then he led a troop of imperial guards, his own personal guards, and three thousand soldiers from the capital region southwards.

These are all essential for protecting the Crown Prince. Even three thousand wouldn't be enough if His Majesty were to go.

Since His Majesty was not present this time, the carriage could leave directly from the mansion without having to wait repeatedly.

The two concubines walked ahead of each other because Concubine Yan had entered the mansion earlier.

Behind her was Consort Murong, then Li Zhaoxun, and finally, Consort Jin Fengyi.

A large group of people marched towards Laiyang Prefecture.

After leaving the capital region, it would take another two days to reach Pengzhou, and then the Yuanjiang River. Originally, one could have gone downstream to Laiyang Prefecture.

The Yuan River is wide, branching into two streams from the north of Yue, running straight from north to south.

However, because it is the flood season, the current is rapid, and it is not safe to travel by boat.

It is also possible to travel by land, crossing the river from Pengzhou and heading south through Yuezhou.

If you don't cross the river, it will be very difficult to travel, because there are towering mountains and steep ridges within the border between Pengzhou and Quzhou.

This will take a few more days, but it will also ensure safety.

When the Crown Prince travels, neither the infantry in the capital region nor the imperial guards in the capital dare to be careless.

Even if some of them were probably following His Majesty's wishes and wanted the Crown Prince to die on the road, they dared not be negligent in the slightest on the surface.

After all, if the crown prince really died on the road, they wouldn't be able to escape either.

Failure to protect the emperor is a capital offense.

On the thirteenth day, they arrived at Pengzhou Wharf.

A boat was already waiting.

After Ding Min and Wei Xiao checked everyone's information, they helped the Crown Prince and his entourage board the ship. The Imperial Guards led the way.

It would take seven or eight trips to transport all the people over.

The Yuan River is swift, but it's fine for crossing. Today it's calm and peaceful.

People are already waiting to greet us on the other side. Since we can't send everyone over all at once, we'll rest and stay here today.

Yan Nangui was fine on the swaying journey, but found himself seasick when he got on the boat.

That's incredible.

Actually, it wouldn't take half an hour to get from here to the other side, including all the preparations. Yan Nangui estimated it would only take about twenty minutes.
