Chapter 284: The Old Wine Monster is Angry
"What? You want me to disguise myself as a maid and escort the Princess and the Queen Mother to the capital? Was this your idea or someone else's?"
Lin Xiaoyue was extremely surprised when she heard the news. Didn't Brother Liang know that she had a feud with the Queen Mother? Even if she was willing, would the Queen Mother agree? And Prince Rong, who had just returned, was also dissatisfied with her.
Logically speaking, it is not my turn to be the guard. What is Brother Liang thinking?
Liang Jingyao could probably guess Lin Xiaoyue's concerns and quickly persuaded her, "Just now, I accompanied my father to the Bamboo Courtyard to visit the Princess and the Queen Mother. I proposed this idea, and the Princess agreed. Yue'er, I will not be angry with me for acting first and asking for your permission later, right?"
Lin Xiaoyue felt helpless. Brother Liang had persuaded her so much. If she still insisted on not wanting to do it, the princess would be sad when she found out. No matter what the Queen Mother and Prince Rong did, at least Brother Liang and the princess were very good to her.
Once, she secretly entered the palace to deal with the second prince, but it was the eldest princess who brought her out of the palace safely.
"Okay then, when do you plan to attack the capital?" Lin Xiaoyue recalled the past and finally agreed.
Liang Jingyao replied, "My father plans to arrive in three days. You should prepare in the next few days. If you need anything, just let me know."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, I will."
After solving one problem, Liang Jingyao felt much better. He raised his hand and rubbed Lin Xiaoyue's head, saying, "I still have some things to arrange. I'll come to see you later."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and slapped Liang Jingyao's hand away, scolding him: "You messed up my hair, go and do your work, I still need to help Dad!"
Liang Jingyao smiled foolishly twice, then left humming a tune.
Ever since Prince Rong came to question the Old Monster, he had been very alert, fearing that Lin Xiaoyue would be wronged when he was not around. So when he heard that Liang Jingyao had come, he walked over and asked, "Girl, what does Jingyao want to talk to you about?"
Lin Xiaoyue dragged the drunkard back into the tent and said, "Brother Liang said that Prince Rong plans to lead his troops to attack the capital in three days and wants me to disguise myself as a maid to protect the Princess and the Queen Mother."
The corner of the old drunkard's eye twitched fiercely, and he asked, "You won't agree to it, will you?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes, because the eldest princess also wanted me to go with her. She was very kind to me before, so I couldn't refuse."
The drunkard stamped his feet heavily and said angrily, "How could you agree to such a dangerous thing? No matter how good the princess is, I am your father and I will treat you well. If something happens to you, what will I, an old man, do?"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the old drunkard's gray hair and hunched body, feeling very guilty. "I'm sorry, Dad! I promise you, I will come back safely!"
The drunkard sighed deeply and left the tent without saying a word.
At night, Lin Xiaoyue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. During the day, she had spoken to her father with great sincerity, but in fact, she could not guarantee that she could come back safely. After all, there is no mercy on the battlefield!
Chen Yunyun sensed that Lin Xiaoyue was not in the right mood, so she turned around, patted her shoulder, and asked, "Sister Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed and said, "Brother Liang and his men will attack the capital in three days. The Princess and the Queen Mother will go there. Brother Liang hopes that I can go with them to protect their safety. But when Dad found out about this, he was very worried about my safety."
Chen Yunyun's brows furrowed instantly, and she said, "To be honest, if you really want to go, I'm worried too. Have you decided to go with them?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes. After I'm gone, please take care of my father. He has a bad temper and is addicted to alcohol. You are more patient than me, so you should persuade him more often."
The more Chen Yunyun listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did Lin Xiaoyue's words now sound like a last will?
"Sister Lin, uncle is your father. It is your responsibility to take care of him. Don't think of taking it easy and just throwing the burden to me. Humph, I won't listen! If you don't come back, I won't care about uncle anymore!" Chen Yunyun's nose was sour. She covered her ears and almost cried while speaking.
Lin Xiaoyue swallowed the words she wanted to say about the uncertainty of life and death, reached out from under the quilt, gently patted Chen Yunyun's back, and comforted her: "Don't cry, I will be back."
Chen Yunyun choked up and nodded, saying, "Well, I believe in Sister Lin. You always manage to turn danger into safety, and this time will definitely be the same!"
Lin Xiaoyue chuckled and said, "That's right! Don't worry!"
No one slept well that night, so when they met the next day, everyone had panda eyes.
When the drunkard saw Lin Xiaoyue coming in with breakfast, his eyes were dark blue. He immediately guessed that Lin Xiaoyue didn't sleep well at night.
"Put it there." The drunkard originally had a stern face and didn't want to talk, but he was still very distressed, so he spoke first.
Lin Xiaoyue put breakfast on the table and looked up at Jiu Laoguai, only to find that his panda eyes were even bigger, his eye bags were drooping, and his hands were full of various small parts and medicinal herbs. It seemed that he was studying something?
"Dad, didn't you sleep last night? What are you doing? You can't do this, you will tire yourself out!" Lin Xiaoyue advised with concern.
The drunkard was so busy with the things in his hands that he didn't even have time to look up and take a second look. He said, "Of course it's something I need. Don't talk about me. I'll rest after I'm done. You can have breakfast first."
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head, walked over and held the old drunk's hand, and said, "No, these things can be done later! You must eat breakfast first, and then take a nap."
The old wine monster had no choice but to stand up and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Come over and eat with us!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled knowingly, took the old drunk's arm and walked to the dining table to sit down, then poured a large bowl of noodles and placed it in front of the old drunk, and put two poached eggs on it, saying, "Dad, you have to eat more, not sleeping all night is very exhausting!"
The drunkard said jokingly, "You only brought two fried eggs, and I ate them all. What did you eat? Just that little bit of clear soup noodles. How nutritious is that?"
Lin Xiaoyue held down the chopsticks that the drunkard was about to pick up and said, "I'll have a bowl of noodles and then fry an egg when I get home. Is that okay? Anyway, I gave it to you, so you must finish it!"
The drunkard smiled, picked up a fried egg, put it in his mouth and took a bite, saying, "See, I ate it! You little bitch, are you afraid that I won't be full later, so you let me eat more now?"
Lin Xiaoyue curled her lips and said, "No way! I don't know what you were fiddling with all night. Are those things that important? You can't stay up all night like this anymore!"
