Chapter 568 Why don’t we persuade him to rebel?
"Sir, it's my fault!"
Wei Qi wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He was there to protect his father-in-law, but he didn't know all this.
"That's all."
Chao En did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, but no one knew about his health problems except the Emperor.
Moreover, he only has Wei Qi, the person he brought with him at the beginning. If he punishes him, he will have no one to use.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Wei Qi felt extremely guilty. All his men were wiped out. If it weren't for his father-in-law protecting him, he would have been in danger of losing his life this time.
So Wei Qi must hold on to Chao En's thigh tightly.
"Thank you, Princess."
Chao En looked at Jiang Wan with a complicated look, and even considered that after the matter was over, perhaps he could save Jiang Wan's life.
It was considered as repayment for saving his life, and he didn't like to owe others anything.
"You're welcome, sir."
Jiang Wan did not prescribe any medicine for Chao En, but just reminded him:
"Lunch is ready. Since you are not feeling well, please eat it in the carriage."
"good."
Chao En recovered a lot and stopped acting like a troublemaker, allowing Wei Qi to serve him.
Jiang Wan and the others had lunch outside. The weather was a bit hot, so Qiu Yan made some cold dishes.
Song Jiuli whispered in Jiang Wan's ear: "Sister Wanwan, the eunuch was so arrogant and domineering before.
After you saved his life, he seems to be shrinking into himself like a quail now."
"Do you think that's all?"
Jiang Wan sighed and whispered to Song Jiuli, "He did it to save his life.
Although he is the emperor's man, now it's just the two of them who depend on each other.
Your eldest brother doesn't have a very good reputation outside. What if he goes crazy and takes his life?
If they want to return to Kyoto alive, they can only rely on your eldest brother now."
"So that's how it is."
Song Jiuli seemed to understand, his eyes turned, and suddenly said:
"Since that's the case, Sister Wanwan, why don't we try to turn him against us?"
“That’s a good idea.”
Jiang Wan agreed, "But we can't tell a person's true heart from his appearance. Even if he agrees, we still have to consider carefully every time he gives us information."
After what happened today, Jiang Wan believed that Chao En would not cause too much trouble on the road.
"That's true."
Song Jiuli muttered something and took a bite of food. Song Qingzheng next to her was gently wiping Madam Song's lips.
Madam Song said to Song Jiuli with some disdain: "If you were as smart as your sister Wanwan, you wouldn't be unengaged yet."
"Mom, why are you talking about marriage again?"
Song Jiuli was also helpless, "I am the same age as Song Jiuchi, why are you only urging me?"
"I have a sweetheart, what about you?"
Song Jiuli's heart skipped a beat when she heard Madam Song's words, and Sheng Yi's face subconsciously appeared in her mind.
"Sister Wanwan."
Song Jiuli subconsciously changed the subject, "This salad tastes good."
"You said last time that you didn't like eating Houttuynia cordata."
Jiang Wan looked at Song Jiuli dimly. What she was eating happened to be Houttuynia cordata.
Jiang Wan usually doesn't eat it, but Song Jiuchi and Song Qing like it, so Qiu Yan mixed some for her.
Seeing this, Song Jiuli didn't know whether to spit out the zheergen in her mouth or not, and she had a bitter face.
"What's with that expression on your face? Didn't you say it was delicious?"
Mrs. Song did it on purpose. Of course she knew that her own daughter didn't like to eat this.
"mother."
Song Jiuli was very twisted and ate the Houttuynia cordata, which she hated the most, with tears in her eyes.
That distorted face made Jiang Wan laugh completely.
"Li'er, don't force yourself."
"That's right. Although I am anxious, I won't force you to marry someone you don't like."
Madam Song and Song Qing have such a good relationship, so they naturally understand how important it is for two people to be in love with each other.
Song Jiuli then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and after lunch she pulled Jiang Wan aside to whisper in her ear.
The two of them chatted in private, and Jiang Wan was happy to help her analyze her emotional problems.
Because Chaoen's body had not fully recovered, they did not walk very fast at the beginning.
Knowing that his health was hindering him, Chao En dared not act out and could only pray to return to Kyoto as soon as possible.
After stopping and walking for four or five days, the journey was smooth and Jiang Wan rode in a carriage alone.
The carriage ride was too bumpy, so Jiang Wan simply sneaked into the space and let the system keep an eye on her at all times.
As soon as there was any movement, she would be thrown back into the carriage. In this way, she not only prepared a lot of medicinal materials in these few days in the space.
He also made a lot of pills and even developed several perfumes.
They arrived at a city that day and had used up a lot of the dry food on the carriage, so they decided to go into the city to replenish supplies.
Song Yi took people to buy supplies, and Jiang Wan and the others went to the nearest inn to rest.
Chaoen's attitude towards Jiang Wan changed a lot when he got off the carriage.
However, Wei Qi still looked at Song Jiuyuan with an unfriendly look. After all, there were so many lives between them.
Compared to the slightly tired faces of Madam Song and Song Jiuli, Jiang Wan was full of energy.
"Sister Wanwan, riding in a carriage is so tiring, how come you look fine?"
Song Jiuli had a puzzled look on her face. As someone who was about to get dizzy from the carriage, she had particularly severe dark circles under her eyes.
On the other hand, Jiang Wan's skin was as fair as ever, her face was rosy, and she looked very pretty.
Jiang Wan explained with a guilty conscience: "I sleep better, you guys go upstairs and have a rest."
"Then I'm going to take a nap. I really can't hold on any longer."
Mrs. Song is old after all. She suffered a lot during her exile and is in very poor health.
After sending them all upstairs, Song Jiuyuan looked at Jiang Wan with understanding.
"Shall I go shopping with you?"
"OK."
Jiang Wan had exactly the same idea. Lately, she had been either stuck in a carriage or stuck in space, and she was really feeling bored.
The two of them went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and then left the inn together.
Knowing that Jiang Wan liked to go to drug stores the most, Song Jiuyuan asked Song Yi to inquire about it in advance.
This place is not far from the medicine capital, and Jiang Wan did have some thoughts of picking up some bargains.
There is a medicinal material street nearby. Since it is not a single shop but more like a market, there are many different kinds of people coming here.
The medicinal materials were also varied, and everyone placed the medicinal materials they had picked or collected in front of themselves.
Cistanche?
Jiang Wan squatted in front of a small stall, looking at something that looked slightly familiar. She was a little surprised inside, but didn't shout out.
"My dear, this medicine is a rare and precious thing. I only have this much. If you want it, take one or two ounces of silver."
The stall owner was a man in his forties. He bought this thing from the countryside, and it looked like it was worthless.
But Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were dressed elegantly, so he wanted to fool them.
"I bought it."
Jiang Wan couldn't wait to buy it back immediately, as this Cistanche deserticola is almost an endangered species in later generations.
Seeing that she had already taken money out of her purse, the stall owner instantly felt that he had suffered a huge loss.
Just as I was debating whether to go back on my word and raise the price, a figure rushed over quickly.
"I want this thing!"
He pointed at the Cistanche that Jiang Wan had taken a fancy to, with a look of surprise on his face. Jiang Wan took a look and realized, oh, it was an acquaintance.
