Chapter 336 Returning to the Capital
Yun Zhao was sent away alone, ostensibly accompanied only by a leopard.
Seeing that she made no move, the Imperial Guards lowered their guard against her.
During his exile, Yun Zhao had already become very familiar with the shortest route from the capital to Lingnan.
Now that I calculate it this way, the timing doesn't match up.
They didn't take her back to the capital.
Yun Zhao took out the medicinal powder from his spatial storage and casually caught a small bird near the post station.
"Good little bird, thank you for your help~"
Yun Zhao gently stroked the bird's head and then sent it away.
at night.
When the Imperial Guards were eating, Yun Zhao didn't eat a single bite.
Although she had the antidote, every medicine has its side effects.
If you can avoid eating it, then don't.
"Boss, it's not a good idea for that girl to keep refusing to eat!"
Chen Kang looked coldly at Yun Zhao and laughed, "She won't be able to stand it in a couple of days. What does such a young child know?"
Yun Zhao looked at him and sneered inwardly.
Yes, what does such a young child know? Why are you making things difficult for a child?
Among the Imperial Guards, one man's gaze darted back and forth between Yun Zhao and Chen Kang.
For some reason, I subconsciously put down the food I was holding.
midnight.
All the imperial guards fell into a deep sleep. Yun Zhao dressed himself and left the post station with Xiao Hua.
Her current height is quite a challenge for a leopard; she has to ride back on horseback.
But here's the problem.
The Imperial Guards' horses are all tall and strong; someone as short as her can't even reach the stirrups!
Just as Yun Zhao was pondering how to leave, someone approached from behind.
"Waaah!"
Little Flower let out a warning roar.
The man quickly raised his hands.
"I, Princess, can take you back to the capital!"
The person who emerged from the shadows was dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Guard, and his face was rather grim.
"You didn't eat?"
“I ate some, but I thought the princess wouldn’t go on a hunger strike to resist, so I didn’t dare to eat any more.”
The Imperial Guard explained.
"You do have some sense."
"Princess, I was forced to come along. If you need anyone, I can help!"
He must have eaten something; he's just barely managing to stay upright.
Yun Zhao took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve.
"This is half the antidote. Take me back to the capital in a carriage. As for how to get into the capital, that's your problem."
"Then what about them?"
He was a little worried; his brothers were all acting under orders, and they couldn't all die, could they?
"This medicine won't kill you; you'll recover in about two weeks."
But if you take this antidote, you'll die without me, so do you want to take it?
Yun Zhao indeed did not intend to kill all the Imperial Guards.
They were just following orders and didn't do anything to her.
But if he's going to follow him, Yun Zhao needs to provide him with some kind of guarantee.
"Your subordinate believes in the princess!"
He took the medicine bottle and swallowed the pill directly.
"What do you know?"
Knowing that the medicine in the food wasn't poisonous, a normal person would probably choose not to help her, right?
"My subordinate, Lin Xu, was once a classmate and close friend of Lord Xun, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
Although it was a short time, Lord Xun had instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on the Empress's palace.
Half a month ago, Eunuch Liu from the Empress's palace died. The Princess probably knows what happened afterward.
To put it bluntly, the Imperial Guard in front of him had his own conjectures, but that was all.
To save his life, he chose to say and do little.
"Please take me back to the capital to find Lord Xun."
Yun Zhao must find out the relationship between Prince Qi and the Emperor!
Lin Xu took Yun Zhao straight to the capital.
As dawn broke, the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the capital.
"Princess, why don't you wait here for me? I'll go to the capital to find Lord Xun first."
Lin Xu was not from a prominent family, nor did he have any distinguished status.
The city gates were heavily guarded, and without extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult for him to bring Yun Zhao inside.
Yun Zhao then took out a bone flute from his sleeve.
After blowing the bone flute, Hua Hua led the other wild beasts out of the forest.
Lin Xu was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.
Only then did they realize that Yun Zhao had always kept wild beasts by his side, but had not allowed them to come out.
Yun Zhao waved towards the tree again.
"Little birds, little birds, can you come here? I need to ask you for a favor!"
The little bird hopped around on the tree branch before finally flying into Yun Zhao's hand.
Yun Zhao whispered a few words, tied a small bamboo slip to the bird's claw, and then released the bird.
Lin Xu was dumbfounded.
"The princess doesn't actually need my help; she can come back on her own, right?"
"It's possible, but it's troublesome."
If it could save some trouble, Yun Zhao would naturally not object.
Lin Xu felt a surge of emotion.
The Prince of Jin's daughter possesses such extraordinary talent; no wonder His Majesty wanted her to go to the northern border to find someone.
"Actually, I'm a little curious. Do you also think that if I can find General Zhenyuan in the North, the North will be safe?"
Yun Zhao looked at Lin Xu and asked.
During that half-night, Lin Xu told Yun Zhao the reason why the Imperial Guards had suddenly changed course.
Yun Zhao smiled.
What a coincidence! The northern border had just returned to peace when General Zhenyuan disappeared.
Her imperial uncle always placed imperial power above the safety of the people.
"I am but a lowly Imperial Guard, and dare not make any rash comments."
Lin Xu lowered his head, not daring to say who was right and who was wrong.
A silence fell between them.
A group of people approached from afar, and Lin Xu immediately became alert.
"One of our own."
Yun Zhao remained calm.
Only when the person approached did Yun Zhao take out the jade pendant with the character "Jun".
"Miss Yun Zhao!"
The visitor bowed to her in delight.
Inside the carriage, a carefree young man lifted the curtain and exclaimed, "Hey!"
It's Luoxi dye.
Yun Zhao feigned surprise.
"It was you? You saved me last year in Yangling Prefecture!"
The boy chuckled.
“Little kid, do you still remember me? Come on up, I'll take you to town.”
"good!"
Yun Zhao led Xiao Hua onto the carriage, leaving Lin Xu somewhat bewildered.
He recognized the carriage; it belonged to the Treasure Pavilion in the capital.
How could the people from the Treasure Pavilion know Princess Jinglan?
"Brother Lin Xu, I'll trouble you to go into the city by yourself~ See you at the Dali Temple!"
Yun Zhao waved to him, then turned and climbed into the carriage.
"We're still looking for you everywhere, and you just come back on your own."
Luo Xiran smiled.
"I originally intended to return to the capital with the help of the Imperial Guards, but they wanted to take me to the northern border, so I had no choice but to come back on my own."
Yun Zhao shrugged.
"The situation in the capital is not very stable right now, so you should go and hide in the back."
Luo Xiran pressed a button, and a wooden plank suddenly fell from the carriage.
It turns out there's another mechanism at the back of the carriage, big enough to fit an adult.
Just the right size; Yun Zhao could just fit Xiao Hua inside.
After instructing Hua Hua to hide with the other wild animals, Yun Zhao hid inside the mechanism.
The carriage successfully entered the capital and followed the goods of the Treasure Pavilion to the back alley of the Treasure Pavilion.
As Yun Zhao led Xiao Hua into the Treasure Pavilion through the back door, he caught a glimpse of a sedan chair out of the corner of his eye.
It looks like an official's sedan chair.
"This way, please."
Luo Xiran put away her playful attitude and led Yun Zhao to a house in the backyard.
Yun Zhao found it strange.
Who could make him so serious?
