Chapter 102, First Release on Jinjiang: The Injured Dog
Was the Great Khan injured?
The room fell silent instantly. Ruan Yu paused for a moment before asking, "Where are you hurt?"
Xuan Niang: "...I heard it was a slap in the face."
Qingguo exclaimed, "You don't hit someone in the face! How could that young master do that! And at the palace banquet too, wasn't it obviously intentional?!"
Ruan Yu's eye twitched slightly: "And then, how is Prince Ning now?"
"Him? He should have already been taken back, but I don't know how he's doing at the Ning family's..."
Ruan Yu fell silent.
Chao Lu was beaten by Ning Zhou? How can you be so skeptical?
"I understand. I'll find out more about the situation tomorrow."
Xuan Niang and Qing Guo agreed.
Jiang glanced at her daughter's expression and smiled, "An'an, then Mother will go back first and pack my things."
Ruan Yu smiled and said okay.
After her mother left, Ruan Yu went to see Prince Chen and told him about moving to the Princess's residence.
Chen Wang was not surprised and nodded: "That was originally for you. An'an can go whenever she wants."
Ruan Yu paused for a moment, then softly said okay.
After she finished speaking, she seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to start. After a moment, she decided to give up.
"Then Father, please rest well. I'll be going now."
"I just received news that Ning Zhou injured the Khan. An'an, have you heard about it?"
Ruan Yu paused, then said, "I've heard about it..."
Prince Chen said, "This is quite rare. Ning Zhou was able to injure him. If this is so disrespectful, Ning Zhou's position as heir apparent will certainly be in jeopardy."
Ruan Yu pursed her lips: "Father, you can handle this matter. I'm sure my brother will know what to do."
Prince Chen smiled and said, "That's true."
Ruan Yu took his leave.
Once outside Prince Chen's study, Ruan Yu became restless. If Chao Lu continued his antics...
Ruan Yu turned to Xuan Niang and said, "Tomorrow, go and deliver a message to Has for me."
Xuan Niang paused for a moment, then understood: "Yes."
-
Last night, Chaolu moved directly to the Wei residence.
He took a look around and was quite satisfied with the task Yang Chong had handled: "This is a good location."
Yang Chong smiled and said, "I'm glad the Khan is satisfied."
"Okay, you all should get some rest. You've all worked hard."
"yes."
"Oh, by the way, are there any obvious injuries on my face?"
Yang Chong: "..."
The group came over with their lights and examined it closely. "It looks like a bruise...?"
"No, no, it's obviously a bit swollen?"
Chao Lu looked left and right but couldn't figure it out: "This kid is too useless. Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I'll figure something out myself."
"yes……"
After everyone left, he suddenly remembered what he had given Ruan Ziyan last time…
Hehe, okay, we'll use that method tomorrow.
Chaolu slept well that night, a rare peaceful sleep in months. He even brought the underwear from the closet, but...
Compared to its original state, it had become a bit wrinkled because it had been kneaded several times by Chao Lu's large hands.
When he picked it up to smell it, he found that Yu Yu's scent was gone.
Chao Lu clicked his tongue.
The next morning, as soon as he got up, he heard that Princess Chang was moving.
Chao Lu laughed heartily twice: "Heaven is helping me!"
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside: "Great Khan! Trust, trust, trust!"
Chao Lu: "Whose letter is this?"
"The Princess's!"
Chao Lu's eyes widened, and he snatched it away.
Everyone around craned their necks to look, but Chao Lu's back blocked them all out.
His hands were trembling with excitement.
Look! See, he said this method works, didn't he?
Actually, he had applied a light bluish tint to his cheekbones and around his eyes early in the morning, wondering how he would meet Yu Yu again today.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yu sent him a letter so early in the morning! She must be worried about him!
Chao Lu eagerly opened the letter and read it carefully, but his back paused slightly.
"The Great Khan?"
The subordinate following behind, seeing that Da Han hadn't reacted for a long time, called out softly.
Chaolu put away the letter with a complicated expression: "I... I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You should go first!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Has was completely confused: "Go? Where are we going? There's nothing urgent today."
The others shook their heads, saying they didn't know either.
Chaolu returned to his room, sighed, and took out the letter again to read it once more.
The first piece of paper shows a boat rowing happily in a tree. As a little person passes by, the tree falls and hits him. But how could a boat be in a tree?
There's a second picture. The boat was burned quickly because it hit someone. The person who was hit was quite happy, but without the boat, many people on the shore couldn't cross the river, and there was a lot of complaining. In the end, everyone blamed the person who hit the boat.
Chao Lu was stunned for a while before he understood.
He walked to the mirror, quickly wiped away the bruises on his face, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Is it that obvious...?"
-
Today, Jiang is preparing to move.
Because of their special status, the mother and son lived in a relatively quiet and remote house.
The servants of Prince Chen's mansion began to busy themselves, and carriages set off one after another.
Chao Lu has to go to the palace today because he needs to discuss the reconstruction and expansion of the Protectorate with Emperor Qian Yuan. In addition, the previous trade supervision has been very effective.
Emperor Qianyuan intended to further expand the scope.
Chao Lu entered the palace and discussed matters with him for an hour.
After the event, Emperor Qian Yuan asked him with a seemingly casual smile, "What happened to the Great Khan's right brow bone? I heard that someone was disrespectful to the Great Khan last night...?"
Chao Lu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing. He was just drunk and didn't pay attention to himself. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it."
Emperor Qian Yuan's smile deepened: "That's good."
Chao Lu rose and took his leave.
After leaving the palace, Has asked in bewilderment, "Why did the Great Khan let it go again? That prince..."
"Forget it. I really can't stoop to his level."
His purpose was originally just...
Since Yu Yu saw through him, she still reminded him to stop there.
After Chao Lu left the palace, he heard the news that Ruan Ziyan was moving today.
Chao Lu laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go help my apprentice!"
Everyone smiled knowingly.
"The Khan claims to be an apprentice, but he's clearly just eager to help his brother-in-law!"
"Alright, alright, I'll see through it but not say anything..."
...
suburbs.
In fact, the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion had already been purged before Emperor Qianyuan entered the capital.
The Marquis of Zhenbei's position was unstable. Firstly, he couldn't secure his own foundation. Secondly, the previous emperor was incompetent and wanted to drag a few people down with him before he died.
Therefore, the disaster that befell the Marquis of Zhenbei's family really had nothing to do with Emperor Qianyuan.
Unfortunately, when misfortune strikes at home, there always needs to be an outlet for venting.
The heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei, also known as Ruan Sheng, the eldest son of the Ruan family, has been entrenched in the suburbs since the fall of the Marquis's mansion.
He was unwilling to accept it.
Especially after learning Ruan Yu's true identity, why did she rise to the top and become the most honored princess?
And those two lowly women, Jiang and Ruan Ziyan, with their humble origins, have already forgotten where their roots lie.
He turned around and acted like a lapdog.
How could Ruan Sheng tolerate this? He couldn't tolerate it at all.
He had endured humiliation and hardship for so long, and finally his opportunity had arrived.
Today, the Jiang family is moving house; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ruan Qing was also wandering around the outskirts of the city with Ruan Sheng.
During this period, those who survived in the Ruan family had a hard time. The once high and mighty eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion was now disheveled and begging for a living.
There was no other way; if they didn't hide their identities, they would have to be exiled like the rest of their family.
She absolutely couldn't stand it.
Moreover, Ruan Qing had always harbored resentment.
Ruan Yu...
What makes her so special?
The little bitch I used to trample on.
"Big brother, is it really going to work today?" Ruan Qing was a little worried before Ruan Sheng set off.
"Don't worry, I've been planning this for many days, and I'm sure I'll win this time. We've been holding back for so long, this is a rare opportunity." Ruan Sheng planned to start with Ruan Ziyan. As long as he was captured, the Jiang family would be his for the taking.
With the two of them around, it would be much easier to force Ruan Yu to submit. He knew in his heart that Ruan Yu cared a lot about her, his so-called concubine.
...
Outside the Prince Chen's residence, Jiang's luggage was not much, and it was basically taken away in three or four carriages. On the last trip, Jiang and Ruan Ziyan went together in the carriage.
Ruan Yu went out to see them off, saying, "Mother, I'll go with you."
"Oh, no need. You've been busy these past few days. I'll go tidy up first! Come back tomorrow or the day after. It's a complete mess everywhere today; there's no room to even step!"
Ruan Yu said helplessly, "Didn't I say you'd leave everything to the servants? You never listen to me."
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm doing it myself, and I should stretch my muscles!"
Jiang was a content person. She couldn't always act under the name of the Princess, as that wouldn't be good for her. She was already very satisfied with the current situation.
Chao Lu had already arrived nearby. He didn't bring two people with him, mainly because the Chen Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, and bringing too many people would be too conspicuous.
But when Chao Lu arrived, it was already a bit late; Jiang's belongings had all been moved.
Has poked his head out: "Great Khan, what should we do? People don't need your flattery."
Chao Lu clicked his tongue, and Has immediately shut up.
The carriage had already left, and Ruan Yu wasn't at the door when he arrived. Chao Lu wasn't sure if Yu Yu was in the carriage.
"Let's go, let's follow them and see."
"Oh? What if the princess isn't here?"
"Do you have a better way? Can't we just break in?"
"Too……"
Has and Chaolu followed.
The carriage had to pass through several narrow alleys to get through the area of Prince Chen's residence.
Ruan Sheng and his men happened to be lying in ambush there.
Chao Lu had been following along rather casually, but suddenly, as they turned a corner at an alleyway, he instantly became alert.
"There's someone there."
Haas: "Hmm? There must be someone up ahead."
"no!"
Chao Lu's aura instantly transformed into that of a drawn sword.
"It's an ambush, be careful."
Has immediately became alert.
…………
Ruan Yu returned to the backyard and suddenly felt a little empty.
With my mother gone, even this little courtyard seems a bit deserted.
Suddenly, she felt a little reluctant to go to the even larger Princess's residence.
However, after moving there, it was close to both sides, and since it was always at the Prince Chen's residence, it was indeed quite inconvenient for my mother to come over.
"Xuan Niang, you should pack your things too. We'll move in a couple of days."
"Yes, Princess."
After sitting in the courtyard for a while, Ruan Yu prepared to go to the study.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard—
"Princess, something terrible has happened!"
Ruan Yu immediately turned around.
"Madam and young master were ambushed by remnants of the Marquis of Zhenbei! They were nearly injured!"
The moment the words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Ruan Yu's expression suddenly changed: "And then! Where is Mother now!"
"Fortunately, two steppe people suddenly appeared and rescued the lady and the young master, but they were ruthless, and one of them was injured. Hmm, it seems to be the Khan..."
Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran outside.
