Chapter 104 The Return Journey



On the night before he left, Shu Chengfeng went to Yan Nangui's place.

Yan Nangui was about to go to sleep when she suddenly saw him arrive. She smiled and said, "Your Highness has arrived."

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow to see you. It'll be hot on the way back, so it probably won't be as comfortable as it was on the way here," Shu Chengfeng said as he sat down.

"Your Highness came all this way just for this? I am truly touched." Yan Nangui smiled.

"I still think of you, don't I?" Shu Chengfeng reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Of course it's good that Your Highness is thinking of me, but why does it feel so unreal?" Yan Nangui wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling brightly.

"Then let's just pretend it's fake." Shu Chengfeng put his arm around her waist: "The Princess can't marry into the Cao family, do you think she's angry right now?"

Yan Nangui was taken aback, then frowned: "So, she wants my second brother to marry into the Cao family?"

It wasn't that she looked down on her youngest daughter because she wanted to marry into the Cao family. That family was reserved for the princes.

"Yes, it's a pity it's not working now." Shu Chengfeng smiled: "She has worked hard for more than ten years, but now she is failing step by step. It's really a sad thing."

The wild geese returning south only bring a smile.

I wondered who had invited her.

The original owner was murdered and no one knew. Seventeen years of his life passed by in such a stifling, humiliating, and aggrieved manner.

He died such a humiliating death.

What is the eldest princess now?

On her bill for returning south, there was more than one princess.

And her children, and the esteemed old lady of the Yan family.

None of them will escape.

“When you get back, you need to calm down. Don’t rush things. This time…” Shu Chengfeng paused, then continued, “His Majesty is angry.”

Yan Nangui glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "I know."

This man was both teaching her and reminding her.

His Majesty's scheme failed this time, and he is quite angry. If she makes any big moves after returning to the capital, she will inevitably anger His Majesty.

That would be bad.

She agreed with this point, after all, it was not appropriate for her, a mere pawn, to be exposed to His Majesty.

Even though she is the Crown Prince's concubine and Yan Lingyun's daughter, she cannot be exposed casually.

"That's good. Tell them to go to bed early tonight, because they'll have to get up before dawn." In the summer, it's really hard to get any sleep before dawn.

Yan Nangui told someone to make the bed so he could go to sleep.

It seems like I had just lain down, been thinking aimlessly for a while, and was just drifting off when I was woken up.

All told, I slept for less than two hours.

Just like when they arrived, His Majesty's departure was scheduled at specific times. They went out to wait.

Fortunately, they didn't have to get out of the carriage; Yan Nangui slept inside.

It's a pity, though, that I dressed up carefully before getting on the bus. After all, there are many people outside, so I can't just do whatever I want.

She got on the bus at this moment, feeling extremely sleepy. Chanyi and Luokui quickly took her hair off and removed her outer clothes.

Yan Nangui rolled into the blanket and closed his eyes.

Shaking me, I was already sleepy, so I easily fell asleep.

She only said one thing before going to bed: "You two take turns getting some sleep."

The daphne and sandalwood were in the carriage behind, being served in turns.

Compared to before, there was one more person and some more local products.

Jinling sat alone in the carriage, somewhat dazed.

She was originally the Crown Prince's person and was supposed to be placed in the harem, but by a twist of fate, she was given to the Crown Prince instead.

Deep down, she was actually happy.

Like A'luo, she also loved the Crown Prince. The difference was that she was chosen from among the disaster victims, while A'luo was brought out from a bandit's den.

However, they were all the same; she didn't know about A Luo's existence, but she was luckier than A Luo.

At least, she can finally be with the man she loves.

Even if it's just being an insignificant maid.

With her status... she could only be a maid.

However, she clearly underestimated herself. Shu Chengfeng still wanted to give her a formal title. Not for her sake, but for the sake of his subordinates.

Jinling was his subordinate, but now that he had made her a maid, he was bound to be known for being mean and ungrateful.

Once inside his backyard, Jinling was indeed useless.

However, just because something is no longer useful doesn't mean it shouldn't be completely discarded.

Jinling dared not even think about that.

Yan Nangui was woken up at noon.

"Liangyuan, please eat something before you go to sleep."

Malabar spinach path.

Yan Nangui hummed in agreement and got up. He quickly washed up in the car, ate something, and then lay back down.

Still wobbly, but young, and can really sleep.

When I woke up this time, we were already at our campsite.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a woman in red standing to one side, looking somewhat lost.

Seeing her come down, he quickly curtsied: "Yan Liangyuan."

"What's your name?" Yan Nangui asked.

"My name is Jinling," Jinling hurriedly replied.

"Hmm, what are you doing here?" Yan Nangui asked.

"This servant...this servant doesn't know how to go, for a moment...I want to ask..." These are all His Highness the Crown Prince's female relatives, surely someone can make a decision?

Yan Nangui understood, turned around and saw that Su Liangdi had also gotten out of the carriage, her face a little flushed. It was clear that she had just woken up as well.

“Sister Su, this is perfect. We don’t know where this Jinling girl has gone. She’s been on the road for several days,” Yan Nangui said.

Su Liangdi smiled and said, "It was my oversight. I'll have a maidservant accompany you for now, and we can change her when we get back. As for accommodation, we'll have a small tent, just like Xia Fengyi and Xiang Fengyi."

"Thank you very much, Consort Su, and Consort Yan." With that, she hurriedly withdrew.

"This Miss Jin is quite good; she's beautiful and has a great figure. I'm just afraid that once she returns to the manor, Consort Ye will cause a ruckus again," Consort Su said with a smile.

"It's not surprising that Lady Ye can stir up trouble even without wind," Yan Nangui scoffed.

Su Liangdi sighed, "You have such a temper. Never mind, you've had a long day, go and rest. Eat something. You'll be up before dawn again tomorrow."

Yan Nangui nodded and returned to his tent.

Jiangxiang smiled and said, "I don't think this Jinling girl is really that helpless."

“After all, they’re people who grew up in the brothel, how could they really be so foolish?” Chanyi said.

"It doesn't matter. As long as she doesn't go against me, it doesn't matter whether she's clever or stupid. If she's clever, then you should keep a close eye on her," Yan Nangui said.

All the girls said yes.

In the evening, Yan Nangui went to bed early, and Chanyi and Luokui, who had been serving him all day, also went to sleep in the back. Jiangxiang and Yuanhua took turns keeping watch at night.

I was able to sleep for a while, but I wasn't feeling very comfortable.

After seven days of this arduous journey, we were finally almost there. Because we were in a hurry, we entered the city in the morning this time.

They also chose an auspicious time, but this time they traveled all night.

Yan Nangui got dressed in the car, looking exhausted: "I'm finally back."

After another half hour, the carriage finally started moving.

Civil and military officials were already kneeling to welcome them. Only after His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and others had entered the city could the carriages behind them slowly enter.
