Chapter 30 I'm confident
Jiang Ruo lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the town ahead. He called out, "Guard Qin, stop ahead. Let's eat something before continuing on our journey."
Several royal guards had the same idea. They had walked such a long way and were thirsty and tired.
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make some money...
Who would have thought that as soon as he left the capital... he would be taken control of by this woman.
Forget it, I’ll just eat and drink on this trip. As long as I can get them to Jizhou safely, the mission will be completed.
I have to say, the people in Prince An’s Mansion... are really generous.
They really wanted to tell them loudly: You are exiled, not allowed to go out for fun.
They all look so leisurely and contented, it's so infuriating.
After entering the town, the group went straight to an inn.
An Er drove the carriage to the backyard and said to the shop assistant who came to meet him, "Add some good fodder to the horses."
This is the master's Ferghana horse, so you must serve it well.
"I understand!" the shop assistant responded quickly with a grin.
These people are escorted by officials, they must not be ordinary people!
You must be served well.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Ruo said to Dongxue, "Dongxue, help Madam get off the carriage first. Be careful."
Jiang Ruo poked Xiao Chengjin's cheek, "Are you tired?"
I complained in my heart: I fed you so much spiritual spring water, it’s such a waste.
If you don’t wake up, stop drinking.
Jiang Ruo jumped off the carriage and stretched.
Damn, riding in a carriage is really tiring!
"That fool, An Zheng, go to the elegant room to rest without telling your master."
An Zheng is An Er, and he chose the name An Zheng himself.
When the innkeeper saw several officials coming, he quickly put down the abacus in his hand and walked forward with a smile on his face.
He looked at the men in armor and asked weakly, "Excuse me, sirs, would you like to stop by for a meal or stay in a hotel?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ruo who followed in.
Jiang Ruo waved her hand and said, "Boss, please give us two private rooms and some of our signature dishes. We'll take a rest and then we'll be on our way."
Qin Zhen and several guards: "......?"
May I ask, Madam Xiao, do you want to dine and dine for free?
Or do you want us to advance the money for you?
People in exile have to sleep in the open air and are in dire straits. What are you trying to do?
Qin Zhen looked at Jiang Ruo's boastful look, and he couldn't help but say, "Madam Xiao, let's take a break and then continue on our journey. We don't need the private room!"
Jiang Ruo could see what Qin Zhen and the others were thinking. She pulled out a heavy purse from her sleeve and said, "Don't be afraid. I have plenty of money."
Qin Zhen and others: Uh, doesn’t the imperial edict say... that all the property of Prince An’s Mansion should be confiscated?
Where did you get your money?
You are really amazing to be able to secretly hide the stuff under the nose of Manager Ji.
I admire you! I admire you!
Jiang Ruo straightened his back, took out a few banknotes from his other sleeve, and stuffed them into his purse as if nothing had happened.
What she meant was: Who am I looking down on? I said I'm not short of money, so I'm not short of money.
Steward Lin stepped forward and said with a smile, "Madam, the master has independent property elsewhere, so you don't have to be frugal."
When Qin Zhen saw this situation, he took a few guards to a corner.
Well, I am confident!
After Jiang Ruo entered the private room, she first fed Xiao Chengjin, who was lying on the bed, a cup of spiritual spring water.
Xiao Chengjin, who was about to fall apart, suddenly felt refreshed.
It seems his princess has a secret that cannot be revealed!
"Have you had enough to drink? I'll go have lunch first and let An Zheng come in to serve you later." After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, she went directly to another private room.
It was noon and there were many diners in the inn.
With so many people, there are many topics to talk about. They gather together and quietly gossip about the major events happening in the capital.
It was nothing more than the fact that the highly respected Prince An in the capital was demoted and exiled, and that Xiao Junze fainted in Prince An's mansion.
"According to reliable information, the current emperor has taken action against the youngest brother."
"It's hard to tell whether the royal family's affairs are true or false. It's a pity for the new princess."
"Of course not. How can you be so young and be exiled with a half-dead man?!"
"Oh, what bad luck!"
"Just now, a friend from the capital said that the emperor fainted in Prince An's mansion. He said he was too sad!"
.......
After Qin Zhen and his companions had eaten and drunk their fill, they quietly listened to the diners' gossip in the corner.
Princess An is unlucky?
We see she is very happy!
Dongxue, who came down to pay the bill, heard that Xiao Junze had fainted, and ran back ecstatically to report to Jiang Ruo.
You deserve to faint. Who told you to harm my master?
In order to get to the next village or town earlier.
Qin Zhen sent a guard to the second floor to inform Jiang Ruo and others, and then went out of the inn to wait.
The diners were shocked to see the officials appearing out of nowhere.
Will you be beheaded if you let the officials talk about the royal affairs?
Just then, they saw several people coming down from the second floor.
The woman in the front has a pretty face, and the unconscious man being carried on someone's back looks quite impressive from the way he's dressed...
Uh... unconscious?
Oh my god!
Could they be the ones who were exiled?
What a coincidence!
From the moment Jiang Ruo went downstairs, she noticed the diners' strange looks.
The news that Xiao Junze fainted in Prince An's Mansion has spread here. Doesn't she have to do something too?
Ugh! God fainted from excessive sadness.
It’s because I didn’t find what I wanted...I must be so angry!
This place is close to the capital, so before leaving, I can give him a counterattack.
It's because they are the disadvantaged group.
Well...it's time to earn some sympathy.
So, Jiang Ruo pinched her fingers and brewed her emotions...
When going downstairs, Jiang Ruo's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful as if she was about to fall.
After arriving downstairs, Jiang Ruo stopped and gently stroked Xiao Chengjin's slightly pale cheek, whispering softly: "Husband, we are not afraid of our own shadows if we are upright."
"Don't worry, even if we are exiled, I will do my best to protect you."
The tone was helpless yet firm, making people feel pity.
When Xiao Chengjin heard the soft word "husband", she felt like she was floating.
Who could have thought that his princess, who was chosen for marriage, had such deep feelings for him.
This attack...made a fortune.
Everyone looked at the woman who was about to cry, and began to murmur in their hearts: The emperor is too cruel!
His Royal Highness Prince An is in such a state, yet he still can't tolerate him.
The intention to rebel was also fabricated out of thin air!
Alas, it is really hard for Princess An, such a weak woman.
After achieving her goal, Jiang Ruo wiped her tears and helped Xiao Chengjin out of the inn.
Tsk, who can’t act?
Just as Jiang Ruo expected, the power of the masses cannot be underestimated.
Not long after they left, the news that Xiao Junze could not tolerate Xiao Chengjin spread throughout the capital.
For a time, the people of the capital all accused Xiao Junze of being unkind...
The people's accusations and insults soon reached the palace.
This made Xiao Junze, who had just woken up, so angry that he vomited blood...
