The rain stopped, and Sheng'an City became quiet again.
The city gates opened, and the group returned in a very simple and unpretentious manner.
The garrison commander snapped out of his daze and hurriedly shouted, "King Zheng, wait!"
If the sage is coming to greet us, at least let this humble servant see him off!
Prince Zheng was eager to return home. Sheng'an was like his own home, so why stand on ceremony? He rode straight back to Prince Zheng's residence.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare run that fast in the city, and even if they wanted to catch up with Princess Yongmu, they wouldn't be able to.
Princess Yongmu rode her horse back to the princess's residence.
This was originally Wu Chaoen's place. It wasn't particularly large, but after the rain, it was exceptionally clean.
She came back from a place that was vast and empty, and she really didn't expect to find a big, empty place.
Princess Yongmu was indeed in a hurry to return as soon as the ship docked. She didn't rush to explain some things, but since there were officials with her, she figured it couldn't be wrong.
Princess Yongmu needs to stay home and get herself ready before going to the palace.
Tong Faran climbed into bed and slept until the third day. Her stomach hurt so much!
Ran Li hurriedly ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.
The princess and Tong Faran both suffered a lot, so they need to make up for it now that they're back.
Ran Li is truly in a better position and has a much better background.
When Princess Yongmu got up, countless birds chirped and chattered throughout the mansion.
Upon emerging, I was greeted by a breathtaking display of flowers—a magnificent and beautiful Zhao!
Princess Changning, Princess Guangning, Princess Yongning, Di Baose, Princess Changqing, Xie Fufu, and Princess Tongan who came to join the fun, along with a whole host of palace maids.
Although the osmanthus flowers were gone, their faint fragrance, like that of chrysanthemums, drew everyone's respects regardless of status or age.
Princess Yongmu was overjoyed! Her smile was as gentle and beautiful as ever!
Princess Changning, Princess Yongning, and several others grabbed her, excited!
Princess Changqing thought that the Princess's residence was fine and didn't need an elder.
The imperial physician had taken the pulse of everyone else.
Everyone urged Princess Yongmu to go quickly, and although she seemed to be in a good mood, she had clearly suffered a lot.
Ran Li sat down, satisfying everyone's gossip: "We've been on a pretty familiar route, so it should have been safer. But we didn't expect to encounter an epidemic when we passed through Tata."
Everyone was startled!
Ran Li became more serious: "Tata is a small country with a small population and is poor. They have no way to deal with the plague. We originally didn't plan to get involved."
It's best to avoid trouble when you're out and about. If you end up getting Prince Zheng and Princess Yongmu involved, who can afford to compensate them?
Moreover, plagues are not easy to manage, and the Great Zhao and the Tata Kingdom have no special relationship.
Ran Li frowned: "King Zheng fell ill, but a girl saved him. This girl also helped Tata get rid of the plague."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment!
What a coincidence!
Can a girl solve a plague?
Princess Yongning, speaking without a care in the world, said: "Maybe she did it."
Ran Li nodded: "We also have our suspicions, but this matter is difficult to investigate. Especially since the Tata people are very enthusiastic towards this girl. If we tell the Tata people that we have suspicions, we will suspect that the Tata people are also pretending."
Princess Yongning's imagination ran wild: "That's not surprising. Some small countries aren't even as big as a county."
Ran Li nodded: "The Tata Kingdom has a total population of about 12,000."
Princess Guangning came to her senses: "Although the delegation has more than 10,000 people, they are unfamiliar with Tata and have to guard against the plague, so they have no way to investigate in detail."
Protecting King Zheng is also very important.
It might not be difficult to figure out the Tata Kingdom, but if it really can create a plague, then it has nothing to do with them.
The mission's soldiers were primarily focused on self-defense. Right now, all that matters is that everyone returns safely.
If there are problems with Tata, we can deal with them another time.
Ran Li nodded: "King Zheng is alright, we've left safely."
Princess Changning, with her keen gossip instincts, asked, "Where is that young lady?"
Ran Li's expression was strange.
Princess Changning was speechless.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
But there are so many people here! Everyone's come to see Princess Yongmu's return. Some things are good for gossip, but others are best left unsaid.
Princess Changqing saw that Ran Li was in a hurry to talk about this, probably because he had been holding it in for a long time and had to get it off his chest.
Bringing back something so unknown would be far more terrifying than bringing back a plague.
But since he saved King Zheng's life, it wouldn't be good not to bring him along.
Di Baose asked, "Where is that girl from?"
Ran Li said, "They say it's the Soviet Union. It's not far from Tata, and it's a little bigger than Tata. Their accents are somewhat similar, but we can't go to the Soviet Union to verify."
Tong Faran came over and sat down.
His face was deathly pale, and he seemed weak and listless; he didn't look well.
She had heard about that girl and just had to say something.
Ran Li scolded, "What's your hurry?"
Tong Faran seemed determined to die speaking out: "Wasn't I dragged into this by her? I may look like a pure white lotus, but I can't find any evidence. I have eyes!"
Her face was really pale, and then her eyes widened as she gasped for breath!
People can be startled by sudden events! Princess Tong'an understood her feelings perfectly.
Ran Li could only say, "Take care of yourself first."
Tong Faran let out his anger, and became even more listless.
But she suffered a tragedy when she was only twelve years old, which makes her very pitiful.
Everyone knows Tong Kui's temperament.
I believe Tong Faran wasn't just making things up.
Anyone who says she likes King Zheng or something is talking nonsense, just shut up.
Princess Yongning asked cautiously, "What about Third Sister?"
Tong Faran sneered: "She went into the water first, and the princess kindly tried to pull her in, but she was dragged down. Because she had gone into the water earlier, the princess was rescued first. When the princess was rescued, she was unconscious. The girl felt guilty and kept crying on the side. She would cry whenever she saw the princess, and when the princess woke up, she could only say that everything was alright. If anything happened to her, she would cry and say a lot of things, I don't know if it was a curse or something, so the princess can never be in trouble."
Di Baose, damn it, smashed the teacup!
Crash! Princess Changning smashed it too!
On what grounds?
Because she saved King Zheng, everyone had to appease her; the dignified princess was suppressed and had no temper.
Di Baose said angrily, "Why does the princess still have this temper?"
Zhu Jin advised her not to talk nonsense.
If Prince Zheng liked her, wouldn't Princess Yongmu have compromised? It was just to please her.
Di Baose scoffed!
Who accompanied King Zheng on this long and arduous journey? They were his closest relatives!
Seeing that Tong Faran was about to die, Di Baose realized that they couldn't bear it and rushed back to Sheng'an.
Tong Faran has been sleeping for a few more days. Wouldn't his condition be even worse if he just came back?
Di Baose couldn't be bothered to look at her and led her people back to the palace!
Anyway, Tong Faran is not suitable for chatting right now.
Di Baose and the princesses had all left, so it wasn't appropriate for others to come and watch the spectacle.
Are they now daring to just show up at people's doors because they think the rain isn't heavy enough and the blood hasn't been washed away clean enough?
Chen Zhen glanced at it from afar.
Chen Xi watched as Di Baose and the princesses' arrival was a declaration of Princess Yongmu's identity!
Who dares to spread rumors? Don't wait until it rains!
Chen Zhen looked on; was someone even sizing her up? She doubted he would dare.
However, as everyone knows, King Zheng brought back a beautiful woman!
They were very much in love, and they took her straight back to Prince Zheng's residence!
