Not long after the establishment of the Xin Dynasty, Pei Yu, a king of a different surname, still held great weight, especially since he held military power. He was definitely a thorn in the eyes of many people.
She doesn't have the time to let those people treat her like a monkey, so it's better not to show up in Prince Jingnan's Mansion in a high-profile manner for the time being.
After hearing what she said, An San understood her intention and took her to the street closest to Prince Jingnan's Palace. There, they found an inn, asked for two rooms, and went to wash up and rest.
I haven't had a good bath since An San has been traveling with me during this period. It's rare for me to have a good bath.
After dinner, it was already dark. When the moon was high in the sky, the two of them headed to Prince Jingnan's Mansion.
"who?"
As soon as the two of them climbed over the wall of Prince Jingnan's Mansion, several people dressed as guards and holding weapons surrounded them.
"It's me."
An San quickly spoke out to avoid accidentally hurting his own people.
"An San, why are you here? Didn't the master send you on a mission?"
An San was standing behind Shen Li. When he heard the question, he did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "This is Miss Shen. We came to the capital together."
Miss Shen?
Some people may not understand who Miss Shen is, but Pei Yu’s confidants all know that Miss Shen is the apple of his prince’s eye and cannot be neglected.
"This way, young lady."
Thinking this way, he went to the mansion to welcome people. Although the master was not at home, he could not hide the movements in the mansion from him.
Someone soon informed the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, of the commotion here. He immediately ordered people to clean up the yard next to the prince's and let Chen Li live in it.
"Miss Shen, it's so late, it's time to eat. The chef in the mansion is very good. Would you like to try it?"
"Miss, this is Uncle Fu, the housekeeper of the mansion, who has watched the prince grow up."
An San carefully introduced Chen Li to her.
"Uncle Fu, no need. I've already eaten at the inn."
Uncle Fu did not force it, and said kindly, "Okay, I have asked someone to prepare accommodation for the girl. You must have worked hard on the journey. Have a good rest tonight."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Fu."
After he finished speaking, Uncle Fu retreated. Only Chen Li, An San, and Mo Bai, who was in charge of the mansion's security, were left in the room.
Pei Yu already knew about Chen Li's trip to Beijing and had written a letter in advance to inform them. In the letter, he also told them to take good care of Chen Li as they would themselves and not to neglect her.
"Has there been any letter from Ayu?"
I was in a hurry on the way here and it took me a long time to get there. I didn't receive any letter and I don't know how Pei Yu is doing.
Mo Bai took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Li, "Miss Shen, this is the letter that the prince sent three days ago."
Chen Li took it and opened it, and her expression relaxed. Pei Yu said in the letter that he had rescued her elder brother, who had suffered some minor skin injuries, but they were not serious. The poison in his body had also been cured, so she didn't need to worry.
After Chen Li finished reading, Mo Bai handed over another letter, "Miss, this is the master's reply after reading the expedited letter you sent him last time."
The expedited letter was the map I got from Lu Jing. Thinking of this, I took the letter and started reading.
Pei Yu said that this map is very important, especially for the current Yan State, it is of great use. However, this thing was given by Chen Li, so it can be regarded as Pei Yu's credit.
However, Pei Yu is still fighting in the north, and it will take at least half a year to end. The new emperor has not yet decided who to send.
After all, this is a clear achievement, and it would not be appropriate to let anyone go except Pei Yu.
After reading it, Chen Li put it away. She was not sure whether Pei Yu's men were trustworthy. If Pei Yu wanted to say it, he would naturally inform them, so she decided not to show it to them.
"How many days does it take to get to the north from here?"
"It will take five days even if we ride at full speed."
"Oh," Shen Li nodded and looked at Mo Bai, "I'm a little tired. Where is the room?"
Mo Bai was a somewhat unruly person, but when it came to Chen Li, he restrained himself and didn't dare to show that expression, fearing that his master would punish him.
"I'll take the girl with me."
Originally, there was only one owner of this mansion, the prince. In addition, the prince did not like women. In the entire mansion, except for the kitchen, there were no other women. Now it seems that maids are still very necessary.
"By the way, I'm going to the north tomorrow."
"Miss, should we tell the prince about this?"
Mo Bai was a little surprised. Although he knew that Miss Shen had martial arts skills and had heard his companions mention it, he had never seen it in person because they exaggerated it.
Now when I heard that Chen Li was going to the north, I just thought she was fooling around, but I didn't dare say it out loud.
"When your letter arrives, I will arrive too."
Chen Li saw through his thoughts at a glance and didn't say much. He was not her own person, so she didn't care what he thought. As long as he didn't make trouble in front of her, it would be fine.
If this happened in front of her, I would be embarrassed because she would not show mercy.
An San quickly followed, "Girl, I'll go with you."
"Um."
Chen Li knew that even if she didn't let An San follow, she would probably follow quietly, so it would be better to let him go with her.
An San and Mo Bai followed behind her. Mo Bai frowned slightly when he saw An San's arrogant look, but didn't say anything.
Soon, Chen Li arrived at the resting place. After entering the room, she could tell at a glance that it was carefully prepared. Every detail was exquisite without being too eye-catching.
Well, she quite liked this room. Not long after, she blew out the candles and went to bed.
Going to the north was not a spur of the moment decision; I had already thought about it before coming here.
Although Pei Yu said that her elder brother was fine, she was worried unless she went to see him with her own eyes.
It’s just right, when I come back from the north, I can enjoy the scenery along the way. I have been here for so long, but I haven’t really seen the scenery of Yan State.
Also, I really want to go out to sea. This time, I want to ask A Yu what he plans to do with the things on the map.
At the same time, an ordinary carriage stopped on the outskirts of the capital, and a graceful and charming woman got off. She had a veil on her face that covered her cheeks, leaving only her dark eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.
Behind her, there were several women following. All of them had outstanding looks and figures, and even their voices had their own unique characteristics.
The next morning, Chen Li had just finished washing up when she saw Uncle Fu coming over with a few servants carrying food.
“Miss Shen is awake, come and try these meals.”
"good."
The breakfast was very rich. There were several kinds of buns alone, not to mention the other things. Chen Li was even dumbfounded.
"Uncle Fu, this much is such a waste."
Uncle Fu said with a smile: "It's okay, young lady, eat as much as you can. There are many men in our house, and we can finish this little bit of food by sharing it with them."
