Chapter 157
After learning that Yan Shujin had arrived in Shucheng, Han Jing had been waiting for the moment they would meet. He was filled with anticipation and thought about it every night. He was also a little worried because the skin on his face and hands was not as good as before, and he wondered if the princess would find it distasteful.
But when he actually saw it, Han Jing was completely stunned.
Han Jing looked at the colorful balls and gauze swaying in the cold wind on the sedan chair, and finally looked at the person sitting in the sedan chair. He felt particularly complicated. Why did the princess like more and more fancy things, and such gaudy things at that? What had happened during the time he was unaware of?
At this moment, Han Jing was struggling and rejecting the idea. He glanced at Mr. Chu and found that Mr. Chu was also looking at him with a very complicated expression.
Han Jing felt he understood everything Mr. Chu was trying to say, but he felt he didn't want to understand at all.
Those who remained in Liu Family Village remained silent. The village gate had been opened by Chief Liu himself, and the guards had been brought in by him. This was hard for the people of Liu Family Village to accept; they all felt betrayed.
Even though some older people, with more experience and clearer understanding, know in their hearts that Chief Liu's choice was not wrong, they still have some reservations.
Han Jing was personally found and brought over by Sun Qiao. Yan Shujin got off the sedan chair when she saw Han Jing. Although the sedan chair looked strange from being handled, it was indeed comfortable inside, and the sedan chair bearers carried it very steadily.
Moreover, no one knows what Sun Qiao was thinking, but he actually prepared four sedan chair bearers so that they could take turns carrying the sedan chair and not worry about tiring them out.
Yan Shujin got out of the sedan chair.
Sun Qiao stood guard by Yan Shujin's side. Although the guards had already separated and kept watch over the people of Liu Family Village, he was still afraid that someone might be careless and actually hurt Princess Yongfu.
Han Jing was wearing a somewhat worn-out cotton-padded jacket, and his hair was tied up with a cloth strip and secured with a dead tree branch. Even if he wanted to be particular, he couldn't be in such an environment.
Yan Shujin had never seen Han Jing looking so disheveled before, as he always appeared glamorous. She walked up to him, smiled, and said, "I've come to pick you up."
Even when he was injured and thought he was going to die, Han Jing did not feel the slightest grievance or regret. But when he heard Yan Shujin's words, he actually felt afraid, afraid that he would really die at that moment: "I almost thought I would never see you again."
Yan Shujin touched Han Jing's hand and found it unusually cold, so she shoved her own hand warmer into it.
Han Jing hugged the hand warmer tightly: "I'm not cold."
Yan Shujin looked at Han Jing, whose face was red from the cold, and said, "A cloak."
Han Jing quickly said, "I'm not cold, I don't need your cloak."
Yan Shujin's cloak was beautiful, but with its bright red color and a ring of white rabbit fur, Han Jing couldn't imagine what he would look like wearing it.
"So you wanted my cloak?" Yan Shujin had no intention of giving her cloak to Han Jing: "Then you might be disappointed."
Han Jing saw that Yan Shujin's maid had already brought over the cloak, and then realized that he had misunderstood. The cloak was specially obtained by Yan Shujin from Prince Xuan. It felt soft and warm to the touch. Han Jing wanted to wear it, but seeing Mr. Chu standing to the side, he first handed the hand warmer to the maid, and then went over to unfold the cloak and put it on Mr. Chu: "It's cold, and your legs are not easy to walk."
Mr. Chu glanced at Han Jing and noticed a hint of cunning in Han Jing's eyes. He knew in his heart that once Han Jing put on this cloak, no one in Liu Family Village would listen to him or believe him anymore, but... he didn't care: "Stop."
Han Jing was taken aback, but did not force Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu first took off the cloak that Han Jing had given him and returned it to Han Jing. Then he took off his own worn-out cloak, handed it to Han Jing, took the good cloak, put it on, and then stood aside without saying a word.
Han Jing laughed. He didn't mind at all and put on the cloak that Mr. Chu didn't want. He obediently returned to Yan Shujin's side, holding a hand warmer: "Princess, Mr. Chu is a very good person. The people in the village saved me and are very kind to me."
Yan Shujin glanced at Han Jing, who had lost all his valuables and yet claimed that everyone had been very kind to him: "Fine, I understand."
Han Jing grinned. He actually had a lot to say to the princess, but when he actually saw her, he couldn't say a word.
There were many people in Liujiazhai, and taking them all away would require packing their belongings. Yan Shujin didn't have much time to stay here and wait for them. After giving a few instructions, she left with her people.
Mr. Han also left; he didn't have much to pack.
Sun Qiao decided to stay and keep an eye on Chief Liu, as he would need Chief Liu's assistance in many matters.
Han Jing followed Yan Shujin and watched her get into the sedan chair. He carefully covered her legs with a small blanket and held the hand warmer that Yuzhu had just brought.
Yan Shujin's initial joy upon meeting Han Jing had faded, and now she felt discomfort in her lower abdomen, making her look rather listless: "The carriage is at the foot of the mountain. I've also brought the imperial physician with me, and he'll give you a thorough examination then."
Han Jing walked beside the sedan chair and spoke to Yan Shujin: "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Yan Shujin glanced at Han Jing and said, "It's alright."
Han Jing was somewhat worried and said, "I am very happy that the princess came to pick me up in person."
Yan Shujin smiled and gently touched Han Jing's hair: "I'm fine."
Han Jing felt that Yan Shujin's lips were a little pale and she looked somewhat ashen, and he felt particularly sorry for her: "I'm the one who made the princess worry and run around so much."
