Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think of the last time Xiao Jingxi came to her house at her grandparents' home in Baoping Hutong.
At that time, Xiao Jingxi had a conversation with her grandfather, but she didn't hear the content of the conversation.
The princess continued, "I'm sure you've heard about the incident in Ningxia, and that the prince has gone to Wuzhou because of the war in the northern border. If it weren't for the pressing situation now, Yanbei would be in chaos if things go wrong..."
Ren Yaoqi said slowly: "Princess, I will help you walk to Baoping Hutong."
The princess paused after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel happy. She held Ren Yaoqi's hand and said, "That's good. Thank you for taking the trouble to go."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Yaoqi has always been taken care of by the princess and the princess. This time I am just running an errand for you. There is no honor or hardship to speak of."
The princess shook her head and said, "It's so easy for you to say that. In fact, I understand everything. No matter what the response is from Prince Xian, the Yanbei Palace owes you a favor."
The princess was not an unreasonable person, so she could understand Ren Yaoqi's dilemma. However, even though it was difficult for Ren Yaoqi, she still agreed to go. The princess wanted to thank her for this favor.
Ren Yaoqi smiled when he heard that.
In fact, she had figured things out, so she wasn't as embarrassed as the princess thought. Since Xiao Jingxi didn't mention who he wanted to borrow in his letter, it meant he might have had some kind of agreement with King Xian before. After all, with the scheming mind of the Second Young Master Xiao, he wouldn't do anything without confidence.
Moreover, Ren Yaoqi was also willing to believe in Xiao Jingxi's character. Since he knew the difficulties of Prince Xian's Mansion and her situation, and specifically mentioned her in the letter, he should not really let her do anything difficult.
Since Xiao Jingxi might have already discussed it with Prince Xian's Mansion in advance, then she was really just making this trip to run errands for him and also earned a favor from Prince Yanbei's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi felt much more at ease. She thought that Xiao Jingxi had actually been able to calculate all this beforehand, so this disappearance must have had a reason, and it wasn't because he encountered any danger.
Ren Yaoqi put away Xiao Jingxi's letter and said to the princess, "In that case, I won't stay for dinner. I'll go to Baoping Hutong now."
The princess said, "Let's have dinner first, it's almost noon."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "There is still no news from Second Young Master Xiao. I'd better go see if I can help my grandfather first."
Ren Yaoqi's words were not false. She was really worried that Xiao Jingxi was in danger. Moreover, the Xian Palace was destined to be in a life-and-death struggle with the Empress Dowager Yan's faction. Now the Yanbei Palace and the court were only a matter of time before a complete fallout. If the Xian Palace formed an alliance with the Yanbei Palace at this time, it might not be a bad thing for the Xian Palace.
The princess became even more grateful after hearing this.
Ren Yaoqi stood up and bowed to take his leave. The princess didn't want to keep him any longer, so she called her maid Su Jin and asked her to see Ren Yaoqi out.
Ren Yaoqi had just walked out of the Nine Suns Palace when she saw a strange nanny running towards her. Su Jin hurried forward and asked, "Nanny Zhou, is there something wrong with the old princess again?"
Nanny Zhou said anxiously, "The old princess vomited the medicine again, saying it was too bitter and refused to drink it. I'm here to ask the princess to go over and take another look."
Su Jin said, "I'll talk to the princess later and see if we can get the doctor to change the medicine to a less bitter one. Has Nanny Zhou ever been to the Second Madam? Maybe the old princess would listen to what the Second Madam has to say."
Su Jin had accompanied the princess to visit the old princess before. She had seen how the old princess would embarrass the princess in front of everyone when she was in a bad mood, and she felt very uncomfortable for her master.
