Chapter 686: No Danger



Nanny Ji walked in front to lead the way, while Princess Fuqing and the Fourteenth Princess followed behind.

The person walking in front was terrified but did not dare to show it at all. The two girls following behind were looking at the scenery in the palace curiously.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, the weather was still very cold, and the flowers and trees were withered and not green at all, but the two princesses were watching them with great interest.

Leaving the palace with sisters was a rare experience for both Princess Fuqing and the Fourteenth Princess.

"Please come this way, princesses." Nanny Ji stopped at a courtyard and made a gesture of invitation.

Princess Fuqing smiled softly and said in a sweet voice, "Is Sister-in-law Qi reading scriptures and praying for blessings here?"

This is a small courtyard with a colorful path paved with cobblestones leading directly to the door. It is simple, quiet and peaceful.

Princess Fuqing stopped and looked around for a moment, then walked in, lifting her skirt.

The Fourteenth Princess followed Princess Fuqing closely and didn't say much.

As you go inside, the scent of sandalwood becomes stronger.

Two pretty maids stood on either side of the door. When they saw the two princesses approaching, they knelt down and saluted: "This servant greets your highnesses, the two princesses."

Princess Fuqing was gentle and kind to her servants. Seeing this, she offered her hand to help them up: "Hurry up and get up. Are you the maids of Sister Seven?"

Ah Qiao and Ah Man stood up together.

Ah Man was told by Ah Qiao to keep quiet, so Ah Qiao replied: "My name is Ah Qiao, this is Ah Man, and the other maids are all maids who have followed the princess since they were young."

Princess Fuqing smiled and nodded, her eyes swept inside: "The princess is in there, right?"

"The princess is praying." Aqiao turned slightly to the side.

Princess Fuqing saw a graceful figure kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva, and she looked very pious just from the back.

Nanny Ji, who was standing by, also saw the figure and was so surprised that she opened her eyes wide and looked closely.

It was just that the room was dim and filled with smoke, so it was hard to tell if I was dazzled.

"Princess, Princess Fuqing and the Fourteenth Princess are here to see you." Aqiao shouted.

The person inside slowly turned his head and nodded slightly towards the door as a greeting.

Nanny Ji's eyes widened, and she subconsciously took a half step back, then was supported by Ah Man.

Nanny Ji turned around and looked at Ah Man, asking with her eyes: How could this be?

Ah Man pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ah Qiao explained to Princess Fuqing, "The princess had a dream before. The person in the dream told her that keeping silent and practicing meditation would show her piety. From that day on, the princess stopped talking."

"Is there such a magical dream?" Princess Fuqing was slightly surprised.

Ah Qiao nodded quickly: "Yes, our princess sometimes has extraordinary dreams, which is different from ordinary people."

Princess Fuqing nodded, thinking of how her eye disease was cured by Jiang Si.

She knew that Sister Seven had many magical skills.

"The princess is heartbroken that her brother's body has not been found, and she is also worried about the prince's safety, so she has prayed for blessings behind closed doors with great piety. The princess cannot entertain the two princesses wholeheartedly, so I will apologize to the two princes on behalf of the princess..."

"No need to do that. I was presumptuous to come here this time. I missed you so much. Now that I have seen you, I am finally able to fulfill my wish. I will not disturb you from praying for blessings. When you come back, I will come to visit you again with my fourteenth sister." Princess Fuqing knelt slightly towards the door and said in a crisp voice, "Sister-in-law, I will come to visit you again later."

The people inside the door bowed to Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen in return.

"Fourteenth sister, let's go." Princess Fuqing pulled Princess Fourteen.

The Fourteenth Princess didn't like to talk much, so she just nodded and left the palace with Princess Fuqing.

As soon as the two princesses left, Nanny Ji's legs softened and she pointed inside the house and said, "My king, the princess is out, how could it be possible, how could it be possible——"

She couldn't continue speaking because the woman in the room had already stood up and walked out.

When the woman left the incense and dim light and stood in the bright light at the door, Nanny Ji stared at her incredulously, pointed at the woman and said in a lost voice: "You, you are not the princess?"

When she said this, she hesitated a bit, because the woman in front of her looked about 70% similar to the Princess of Yan.

The woman's face turned pale, and she asked fearfully, "The two princesses are gone?"

Ah Qiao changed her previous calmness and indifference, and also had a look of fear on her face: "I'm leaving, don't worry."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the door to relax.

Nanny Ji was even more confused: "What is this——"

Ah Man smiled and said, "This is our princess's eldest sister. Aunt, you just saw her in the room and she looks so much like our master. I didn't recognize her. If I didn't know that our master had gone south, I would have thought she was our master."

Nanny Ji finally reacted and looked at Jiang Yi with even more surprise: "Why do you look——"

Jiang Yi slowly recovered and smiled softly: "It's just a little bit of modification. Fourth sister and I are somewhat similar to each other."

"I see." Nanny Ji nodded hesitantly.

Ah Man urged: "Mammy, there are still many things waiting for you to take care of."

Nanny Ji looked at Jiang Yi deeply before leaving.

Ah Man couldn't hold back anymore after seeing Nanny Ji leave. He patted his chest and said, "I was so scared. Fortunately, you, Auntie, acted like one."

Jiang Yi shook her head with a lingering fear: "Fourth sister is still foresighted and made arrangements in advance."

In Yuhe Garden, besides Aqiao and Aman, there is also a maid named Hongxian, who is clever and skilled in dressing up, and was also brought from the Bo's Mansion.

Before leaving, Jiang Silin briefly taught Hong Xian the art of disguise.

Of course, Jiang Si didn't have a good grasp of the art of disguise, and the disciples he taught were even more mediocre, but this did not prevent Hong Xian from slightly modifying Jiang Yi so that people would mistake Jiang Yi for Jiang Si in the dim room.

The two sisters are somewhat alike, so it is not difficult to achieve this.

Ah Man smiled and said, "Of course, our master is very careful and meticulous, he must have thought everything through before he went out."

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded, but thinking about her sister who was traveling far away, she started to worry again.

God knows how scared she was when she received the letter from her younger sister saying that her fourth sister had secretly gone away. She rushed to the palace, but her fourth sister had already gone far away.

Fortunately, Hong Xian was very deft and after dressing her up she looked 70% like the fourth sister, so she felt relieved.

The fourth sister said that she didn't need to come to the palace before the New Year to avoid attracting other people's attention. If she couldn't come back before the New Year, she would quietly live in the palace after the second day of the New Year to deal with any unexpected events.

Unexpectedly, she actually met him after only two days here!

Could it be that Fourth Sister had already anticipated what would happen today?

At this moment, Jiang Yi admired her sister even more.

Obviously, it was her younger sister who she worried about, but now she is much better than her useless older sister.

In the past, my second brother supported the family, but now he is gone, and I am the only one left...

Jiang Yi gently wiped the corners of her eyes, erasing some of the arc drawn with the ink pen at the end of her eyes, revealing her original appearance.

After leaving Prince Yan's Mansion, Princess Fuqing and the Fourteenth Princess went for a stroll on the busy streets, but found that the shops had not yet opened and there was nothing good to see, so they had to return to the palace early to pay their respects to the Empress.
