Chapter 979 Are you the prince’s man?
This so called protection is disgusting.
Not to mention Gan Ze, even Jiang Wan and the others felt that it was a bit too much.
Fang Da Ge hesitated, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's men have set up a tight net in Nanchuan.
Without the protection of my subordinates, it would be difficult for Your Highness to return to the capital."
"Ganze."
Jiang Wan gently reminded Gan Ze, "This is your father's man. It can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
At least the prince's men won't be so arrogant and blatant anymore.
"Then stay away from us."
Gan Ze really didn't want to see them, but with them, it was indeed more convenient and faster for them to enter the city.
There is no need to show a pass, and you can travel smoothly all the way.
It was not until Fang Dage and the others disappeared that Gan Ze said to Jiang Wan in confusion:
"Master, I have no intention of competing for that position. Now that I have accepted my father's people, the prince will probably be even more suspicious of my ill intentions."
"Then let me ask you...even if you don't accept these people, will the prince think you are giving up this position?"
Jiang Wan's heart-wrenching words left Gan Ze silent. Yes, the prince had trouble sleeping when he had never set foot on the land of Nanchuan.
What's more, he has now returned to Nanchuan.
"Your master is right."
Song Jiuyuan echoed Jiang Wan's words and said to Gan Ze, "Whether you want it or not, he thinks you want it.
In this situation, you might as well accept your father's protection and wait until we reach the capital to discuss everything.
We can also conserve our energy and better deal with the evil spirits in the capital."
"Thank you for your teachings, Master."
Gan Ze was not an ignorant man and he understood things immediately. However, he got a headache when he thought that his father might know the identities of Song Jiuyuan and the others.
"Master, I will try my best to conceal your identity."
"No problem."
Song Jiuyuan waved his hand and said, "When I was dealing with the affairs of Mi County, I sent a letter to the emperor.
In the letter, clearly state that you are being sent to Nanchuan. This will solve a lot of unnecessary troubles."
If the little emperor didn't trust him, he had other options.
"When did you say that?"
Jiang Wan was surprised. She thought they were going to keep hiding.
"After you fell asleep last night, I wrote a letter and sent it to Kyoto as fast as I could."
Song Jiuyuan was really worried that Prefect An would be soft-hearted and let Magistrate Mi and the rest of his gang go.
Only by telling the truth and letting the little emperor send people to investigate further can the cancer be eradicated.
"All right."
Jiang Wan did not comment. If the little emperor couldn't figure it out, the worst that could happen was that she would take Song Jiuyuan and the money and go out to sea.
The carriage did not stop at the nearest town, but headed all the way towards the capital of Nanchuan.
The climate in Nanchuan is warmer than that in Dafeng. Jiang Wan took off her outer coat and put on light clothes.
Leaning against the carriage, she quietly went to the space to rest for a while.
Granny Yuan didn't take any action, and just when Jiang Wan thought Granny Yuan was going to give up.
She took action just before reaching the capital.
However, this food was not put into Jiang Wan and the others’ meal. Only Gan Ze’s bowl of soup was poisoned.
Gan Ze had been learning medical skills from Jiang Wan for such a long time, but he smelled something wrong before it even entered his mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Muxiang sat next to Ganze and saw that he was frowning. She had a feeling that something was wrong.
Gan Ze took out a silver needle and put it into the soup, and soon the silver needle turned black.
Jiang Wan looked at Granny Yuan who was standing to the side. "Granny Yuan, why did you use such a crude method?"
Having followed them for so long, Granny Yuan already knew that Gan Ze and Mu Xiang were good medical practitioners.
But she did it anyway, clearly as if she was completing a mission.
Granny Yuan fell to her knees on the ground. Her face was calm, as if she had anticipated this day.
Gan Ze put down the poison and looked at Granny Yuan coldly, "Are you the prince's man?"
She was really trying too hard.
He ran so far to get close to his master, and had to poison him to death only when he reached Nanchuan.
"Your Highness, please kill this old slave."
Granny Yuan put her hands on the ground, not daring to look at Jiang Wan and the others. She had always been a calm person.
He was terrifyingly calm at this moment.
Fang Da Ge jumped out and said to Gan Ze, "Your Highness, let me kill her."
"Grandma Yuan, you said before that my master is the best master you have ever met. Do you have any difficulties?"
Muxiang felt sorry for Jiang Wan because Granny Yuan had always been very considerate in taking care of Jiang Wan.
"Damn you, old slave!"
Granny Yuan kept saying this over and over again, and it seemed that she was determined to die.
"Grandma Yuan, you know my methods."
Jiang Wan raised her chin slightly, "If there is something I want to know, no one can stop me.
Don't force me to use extreme measures, let's talk about what's going on."
"master……"
Jiang Wan's words finally caused some fluctuations in Grandma Yuan's calm and empty eyes. She glanced at Fang Dage and the others with emotion.
"Everyone, step back."
Gan Ze waved his hand, and Fang Dage and the others walked away helplessly. He didn't say anything.
Because I know that Granny Yuan’s methods are so crude, she just doesn’t want the master to be sad.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Wan's face was serious, and Granny Yuan's eyes were filled with emotions. After a while, she said:
"Princess, I concealed my identity before entering the palace. I am not from Dafeng, nor am I alone."
Her lips trembled slightly, "When I was young, I was also a girl from a powerful family in Nanchuan, but later my family suffered a disaster.
She was forced to become a singer and later sent to a wealthy and powerful mansion as a concubine, where she suffered misfortune again.
The old slave managed to escape, married a hunter and had a child. "
At this point, Granny Yuan sighed, "I am unlucky. My husband was killed by bandits during a natural disaster.
The children cried out in hunger, and the old slave sold himself into slavery, and later moved to Dafeng. "
At first glance, it seems that Grandma Yuan's life was quite rough, but she said so much but never mentioned why she harmed Gan Ze.
Gan Ze said impatiently: "Since you have already arrived in Dafeng in your early years, why are you working for the prince?"
"That day in Mi County, my son recognized me and said he was working for the prince."
Granny Yuan closed her eyes in pain. Now that they, mother and son, were serving different masters, it was only a matter of time before they came into conflict.
That's why she did this when her son secretly forced her to kill the Fourth Prince.
"So the prince's people have been spying on us?"
Mu Xiang was a little angry, "Grandma Yuan, you have been with us for so long, you should know what kind of person Gan Ze is.
He has never hurt an innocent person, and he did not come back to compete with the crown prince for a position."
"I know."
Granny Yuan had a painful expression on her face. "They know I'm here. For the sake of the child, I..."
"Granny Yuan, I've said before that I hate betrayal the most."
Jiang Wan had a stern face. Even though Granny Yuan had her own difficulties, Jiang Wan was not a saint.
Anyone who is potentially dangerous cannot stay around. She sighed and said:
"You go now."
If she wasn't with them, Granny Yuan's son wouldn't have forced her to harm others.
"master!"
Granny Yuan's eyes were filled with emotion; she had not expected that even at this point her master would still be willing to spare her life.
She kowtowed to Jiang Wan vigorously, "I, the old slave, stay by your side, and I sincerely want to serve you for the rest of my life."
She had just straightened her back and had not yet stood up completely when an arrow suddenly pierced Granny Yuan's chest.
