After flying back onto the roof and covering the remaining tiles, Xuan Yuanzhan flew away with Su Xuening.
In the blink of an eye, the two were back on Xuan Yuanzhan's horse, which was parked at the street corner.
Without saying a word, Xuan Yuanzhan pulled on the reins and led Su Xuening away from West Street.
Only after leaving West Street did Su Xuening speak, "Your Highness, let's go back to the Holy Prince's Mansion first. I have some things to prepare."
Xuanyuan Zhan was very obedient; he turned his horse around and took her to the Holy King's Mansion.
When the two arrived at the Holy King's Mansion, it was already midnight. Knowing that Bai Shi was probably resting, Su Xuening did not disturb her.
"Your Highness, I need some medicinal herbs."
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't ask anything, and directly sent someone to find Di Su, because Di Su was in charge of all the storerooms in the Holy King's Mansion, including the pharmacy.
Di Su had already rested, but upon hearing that Xuan Yuanzhan wanted to see him, he quickly rushed over.
Di Su was surprised that the two of them had returned, and hurriedly said happily, "Your Highness and Princess Consort are finally back. The Dowager Consort has been worried about Your Highness and Princess Consort every day."
"Didn't someone send someone back to say that both the King and Queen are fine?" Xuan Yuanzhan said, then added, "Where is the key to this pharmacy?"
"This old servant will go back and get it." Knowing they were going into the pharmacy, Di Su immediately went back to get the key and opened the storeroom door.
"Give me the key." Xuan Yuanzhan held out his hand to Di Su, who quickly handed over the key.
Xuanyuan Zhan waved to Di Su: "From now on, this pharmacy will be under the management of the Princess. You may go back now."
"yes."
Di Su dared not object, bowed and withdrew to continue catching up on his sleep.
Xuan Yuanzhan opened the pharmacy door and led Su Xuening inside.
When Su Xuening saw the warehouse full of medicinal herbs, she was truly amazed.
I never expected the Holy King's Mansion to have such a large pharmacy; no wonder they have a separate storeroom for it.
Su Xuening quickly found the medicinal herbs she needed and swiftly prepared the pills.
While Su Xuening was preparing the medicine, Xuan Yuanzhan was watching from the side.
Seeing her smooth and efficient movements in preparing the medicine, Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes were full of admiration.
If it weren't for saving her mother this time, she probably wouldn't have revealed that she knew medicine.
She studied medicine but kept her skills hidden all to protect herself and her family.
With General Su gone, the widow and her orphan were indeed left without anyone to rely on. Fortunately, she was not weak, otherwise she would have been no match for the wolves and tigers of the second branch of the Su family!
But with him around from now on, he'll protect them!
Su Xuening quickly prepared a pill: "It's ready, let's go."
Su Xuening pulled Xuan Yuanzhan out of the warehouse and locked it again.
"Where are we going?" Xuan Yuanzhan was still holding the clothes and shoes he had just taken from Su Renyi. He still didn't understand what she was planning to do.
Su Xuening scanned Xuan Yuanzhan from head to toe, then shook her head as if dissatisfied.
Su Xuening's dissatisfied look instantly made Xuan Yuanzhan feel a little annoyed.
What does this mean? Does it mean you don't like him?
"Does Your Highness have any trustworthy guards or secret agents of similar build to Su Renyi?"
Su Xuening originally intended for Xuan Yuanzhan to dress up as Su Renyi, but he was more than half a head taller than Su Renyi and was also thinner, so he really didn't look quite like him.
Xuanyuan Zhan instantly understood what she wanted to do, and his frustration vanished. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There doesn't seem to be a suitable one among the guards, but Di Su's build seems quite similar to Su Renyi's. What do you think?"
After Xuan Yuanzhan's reminder, Su Xuening immediately thought of Di Su's height and build. They were indeed similar, about the same height, and both were a bit chubby. They really looked alike.
"However, Butler Di has already gone back to sleep."
As soon as Su Xuening finished speaking, Xuan Yuanzhan immediately looked at the guard beside him and said, "Go and fetch Steward Di for me."
"Yes," the guard replied, then ran off to fetch Di Su.
Su Xuening immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Making Steward Di run around in the middle of the night, when someone has probably just lain down, has to get up again.
Sure enough, Su Xuening's prediction came true. Di Su had just taken off his clothes and lay down on the bed when another guard came to call him: "Steward Di, the Prince has something to discuss with you."
Di Su, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened them again, quickly got up, and rushed over: "Your Highness, Your Highness."
Su Xuening looked apologetically at Di Su, whose clothes were crooked: "I have something I need Butler Di's help with."
Upon hearing this, Di Su immediately bowed to Su Xuening: "Your Highness, please do not presume to do so. Please do not hesitate to give me any instructions."
Since Di Su said that, Su Xuening didn't stand on ceremony with him: "I would like Steward Di to help me impersonate someone."
As Su Xuening spoke, she leaned over and explained to Di Su what he needed to do.
Although Di Su did not know Su Xuening's full plan, after hearing what she said, he vaguely felt that the princess was going to do something big to teach the Marquis of Yong'an a lesson.
I heard that all the assassins from their Holy King's Mansion these past few days were the work of Marquis Yong'an. This Marquis Yong'an really needs to be taught a lesson!
"Your Highness, just tell me what you need to do," Di Su said, accepting the task with great interest.
Su Xuening handed Su Renyi's clothes directly to Di Su: "Please go and change, Butler Di."
Di Su took the clothes and went to a room to change.
When he came out, Su Xuening took a look and realized that he did look somewhat like him.
Su Xuening then turned to Xuan Yuanzhan and asked, "May Your Highness bring me a mask and a cloak?"
Xuanyuan Zhan waved to the guard beside him, and the guard immediately went to do so.
Soon after, the mask and cloak were brought over.
Su Xuening gave them all to Di Su and had him dress them up.
With the mask and cloak on, his size and figure were almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Su Xuening was extremely satisfied. She took out Su Renyi's jade pendant and wanted to hang it on Di Su's waist, but Xuan Yuanzhan snatched it away and threw it to Di Su: "Hang it up yourself."
"Yes." Di Su glanced at the jealous Xuan Yuanzhan, feeling very gratified, and quickly hung up the jade pendant himself.
The prince has truly come to his senses; he's even started to get jealous now.
It seems the Dowager Consort and Granny Shang were right; the Prince truly does have a special affection for the Princess!
"It's about time, let's go."
Xuanyuan Zhan and Su Xuening rode in an ordinary carriage and took Di Su out of the city.
Outside Kyoto, there is Shili Pavilion.
Shao Kun, the leader of the Black Serpent Society, had been waiting for quite a while, but no one had come. He was getting impatient: "Why is no one here yet? Are you playing me for fools?"
Dressed in all black, wearing a black mask and completely concealing himself, Ye Yun said nothing and tossed a silver ingot at him as if fishing.
Shao Kun, holding the silver ingot, immediately stopped shouting.
Hearing the sound of a carriage approaching from afar, the two instantly perked up.
