One day later.
Meng Youning's fingertips moved slightly, and then her eyes suddenly opened.
She subconsciously reached out and grabbed something in the air.
After a few moments, Meng Youning finally reacted.
She leaned sideways and struggled to stand up. As soon as she moved, she felt a little pain in her back.
Seeing that the person had finally woken up, Jiang Zhuo hurried forward and took Meng Youning's hand with concern.
Meng Youning looked around calmly. She was still in the Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Zhuo hesitated to speak several times.
Meng Youning's heart sank. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhuo looked at Meng Youning steadily, and finally sighed deeply.
She patted Meng Youning's hand gently, her voice hoarse, "Youning, you and Ran'er will have each other in the future."
It was just one sentence, and there was no need to understand it too clearly, but Meng Youning already understood it clearly.
Something seemed to explode in her mind.
She was so shocked that she was dizzy.
Meng Youning opened her mouth slightly, and after a few moments, she finally found her voice.
She silently pulled her hand back and said, "Mother, I want to be alone for a while."
Jiang Zhuo's expression was complicated, and he wanted to say something, but when his eyes met Meng Youning's slightly pale and desperate face, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.
She stood up slowly and said, "Okay, you should rest well."
Soon, only Meng Youning and Muxiang were left in the room.
"Child..." Meng Youning turned around and held Mu Xiang's hand, as if she had used up all her strength, "Is it really gone?"
Muxiang looked distressed, bit her lip and nodded.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged into my heart.
Meng Youning closed her eyes tightly, and two lines of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.
She reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She turned to look at Mu Xiang and whispered, "What time is it now?"
Mu Xiang replied respectfully, "It's already the 11th hour of the night of Xu."
Meng Youning lowered her eyes and murmured softly, "It's 15:00 on the twilight hour, where's Luan'er?"
Muxiang: "Miss Luan is waiting for you at Tianxiang Tower now."
She reached out and tucked the corner of Meng Youning's quilt in. "Princess, I hear your voice is a little hoarse. I'll go to the kitchen and ask someone to cook something to soothe your throat."
Meng Youning suddenly reached out and grabbed Muxiang's hand, his eyes more determined than ever before. "No need. Send someone to tell Luan'er that the plan is moved up. We'll meet at the city gate in an hour."
Mu Xiang was stunned for a moment, "But your body..."
Meng Youning's eyes were deep and profound. "That's nothing. It's not impossible to recuperate while traveling. Besides, my health isn't very good to begin with."
Hearing this, Muxiang nodded heavily, "Okay! I'll go right away!"
Meng Youning spoke again, "Also, take advantage of this time to pack up all the valuables in Yunyan Pavilion into another bag. It doesn't need to be too many, just one will be fine. If it's inconvenient to carry around, forget about it."
She thought for a moment and continued to give instructions, "First, consider things like hairpins and jade pendants. Just pack the ones I bought myself. As for the ones from the Prince's Mansion, leave them alone."
Muxiang listened carefully and wrote down each word.
"In the side hall, facing the main door, go straight in on the right. There's a dusty platform with a secret compartment underneath. There's something in the compartment. Go get it for me."
Mu Xiang hummed softly, "Okay, I'll remember that."
Meng Youning reached out and patted the edge of the bed. "There's a box underneath. Take it out."
Following Meng Youning's instructions, Muxiang bent down and took out the box from under the bed.
The box looks ordinary and there is nothing special about it.
Meng Youning waved lightly at Muxiang, and Muxiang stepped forward and handed the box in her hand to Meng Youning.
Meng Youning took the box steadily, lowered his head, and opened it.
"Muxiang, I have already written this. In one hour, you will hand it to the princess personally. Remember to hand it to her personally. She will understand after reading it."
Meng Youning handed the papers in his hand to Muxiang.
His eyes fell on a piece of indenture in the box. "This is your indenture. You've been preparing it for me for so long, you should have guessed what I'm going to do. I can't stay in this prince's mansion anymore. In this huge palace, if there's anyone I'm worried about, it's you."
Meng Youning paused for a moment, then continued softly, "I've also left you some money in the side hall. If nothing goes wrong, it should be enough to provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life. Tomorrow, you can take this indenture and make your own choice. You can choose a good family, or find a quiet place to spend the rest of your life with your sisters. It's all up to you."
After he finished speaking, Meng Youning stuffed the indenture contract into Muxiang's hand.
Mu Xiang was very touched. "Thank you so much, Princess Consort, for still thinking of me. I will definitely find a good family for you."
Seeing this, Meng Youning finally felt relieved.
As long as Muxiang is properly settled, she has nothing to worry about.
As for the prince and princess, time will heal everything.
In a few years, they wouldn't see her again.
Meng Youning waved her hand. "Alright, do exactly as I told you. Remember to hand over the contents of this box to the princess in person in an hour."
Muxiang nodded heavily.
Immediately afterwards, Muxiang slowly retreated, leaving Meng Youning alone in the room.
She looked in the direction where Muxiang left and reached out to touch the mattress gently.
This material really feels extraordinary.
After a moment of silence, Meng Youning slowly uncovered the quilt and quietly got off the bed.
After half an incense stick.
She reached out and pulled her undergarment closer, letting her long black hair fall naturally behind her.
Meng Youning's expression was calm as she held a rag doll beside her pillow in her hands.
She held the rag doll in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully with her head tilted. The rag doll was made by Qi Ran himself to please her.
Chubby, but quite cute.
But now when she looked at the doll, she found it very annoying.
She placed all the things Qi Ran gave her on the table one by one.
She didn't want Qi Ran or any of these things anymore.
After doing all this, Meng Youning returned to the bed alone.
She squinted her eyes slightly, dozed off, and leaned back slightly.
At the same time, outside Tianxiang Tower.
As soon as Sang Luan heard the news from the Prince's Mansion, she went straight back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the past few days, they have been preparing their luggage for departure and planning their journey.
Now it's only one or two days earlier, which is more than enough time.
Sang Luan returned to Furong Garden in a hurry.
She and Meng Youning had been taking things out these past few days, and there wasn't much left in the mansion.
She went to the side hall to look at the things she had used to make lip balm. "Yupo, bring these things to Muye tomorrow and let her use them properly."
