Chapter 313: Penniless



"So, you only brought riding boots in your luggage?" Yinzhen asked with a serious expression.

Jiang Ranli nodded and pulled out her small luggage to show him, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have that expression?"

Yin'er's expression at this moment was quite interesting, and Jiang Ranli said he couldn't understand it.

After a while, Yinzhen finally spoke, but his expression and tone were full of embarrassment and confusion.

"Li'er, do you... have any silver on you?"

Jiang Ranli was stunned. This guy had stuffed her into the carriage along with her quilt, so she had no time to get the silver.

"No, why are you asking this?" Jiang Ranli suddenly had a bad feeling.

Yinzhen moved the corners of his lips and spoke after a long time, "I didn't bring any silver either."

If he doesn't have any money, then he doesn't have any money. He was ordered out to do his job, so he should have some way to make a living outside.

Jiang Ranli still didn't understand why Yin'er looked so excited.

"Li'er, I want to tell you something. Please stay calm after listening to it, okay?" Yinzhen said.

Why is he so weird?

Jiang Ranli frowned slightly, really not understanding why Yinzhen was like this.

"Hurry up and speak."

"Then you promise to stay calm."

"If you keep dilly-dallying like this, I'm losing my composure."

. . .

After a meaningless conversation, Yinzhen said with an apologetic look in his eyes, "My master has just instructed his confidants to handle the affairs of the Emperor's return to Beijing."

Jiang Ranli frowned. He was the prince, so it was nothing for him to order his subordinates to do things.

"Then what?".

"I thought you saw the note from yesterday, so I brought everything with me in advance."

Thinking of what Yinzhen had just said, Jiang Ranli felt a growing bad feeling in her heart, and urged Yinzhen to finish what he was saying in one breath.

"Get to the point."

"You said before that you wanted to travel all over the country, so I thought I could take this opportunity to take you there. Then I drove them all away. You didn't have any money with you, and now you don't have any money either, so..."

"So we are penniless now?"

Jiang Ranli's brows twitched, and she opened her eyes wide helplessly, which made Yinlang feel more guilty.

"Where is this place? How far is it from the capital?"

Even a penny can make a hero fall. One cannot go out without money. Jiang Ranli wanted to know how far this place was from the capital and whether they could get there before starving to death.

Yinzhen blinked guiltily, then stretched out a finger.

"Can we reach the capital in one day?" Jiang Ranli guessed suspiciously, but she regretted it after saying this. She thought about it, they had just left the camp today and were still outside the Great Wall. It would take at least a month to reach the capital.

"Why don't we go back to the camp now?" Jiang Ranli suggested.

Yinzhen shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I was lazy in doing my job this time. If the emperor knew about this, I would be scolded."

Jiang Ranli thought about it and agreed. Emperor Kangxi's return to Beijing was a big deal, and everything had to be arranged properly along the way. Now Yinzhen was in charge of this task. Even if he didn't have to do everything himself, he had to keep an eye on the whole process. As a result, he ordered his confidants to do it, while he took the palace maids around him to travel around. If Emperor Kangxi knew about it, he would definitely punish him severely.

Jiang Ranli stared at him, not knowing what to say. When they came, he had forcefully abducted her into the patrol team. Now that he was leaving, he didn't even inform her and directly wrapped her up in the quilt. This guy was simply...
