Hua Yuanzhao had a plan in mind, so he didn't waste any time and went out with Fuling.
But the little crybaby hesitated for a while and then whispered, "Miss, why don't we tell Aunt Su to ask the doorman to get a carriage?"
"No need." Hua Yuanzhao pinched his fat and gritted his teeth and said, "Just walk a few more steps and consider it as losing weight!"
Fuling said slowly, and after thinking for a while, she advised against it: "Miss, you are not fat, so there is really no need to torture yourself."
Hua Yuanzhao's mouth twitched slightly and he looked at her with a resentful look.
Ignoring the look, Fuling looked at her young lady with distress. The more she looked, the more she felt that she had suffered a lot in losing weight during this period.
The two of them did not avoid people along the way, but walked out talking and laughing. It was not until they left the prime minister's residence that the servant who was following them quietly reacted and hurried to report.
In Zezhi Cottage, Aunt Su coaxed Hua Yuanshan to take medicine.
After hearing the servant's report, Aunt Su frowned slightly and told Nanny Fang: "Ask someone to keep an eye on it."
"Mom, the fat pig said a few days ago that she wanted to open a clinic in a place where no one knew her. She suddenly left. Could it be that she wanted to escape?"
"How can it be that easy?" Aunt Su glared at her and turned to Nanny Fang again, "Tell someone to follow her closely and don't let her escape."
Hua Yuanshan rolled her eyes and smiled sinisterly: "Mother, if she is willing to leave the house, it will be our chance. Should we…"
As she spoke, she used her hand as a blade to gently scratch her neck.
Aunt Su looked at her disapprovingly: "Shan'er! How many times has mother taught you? It's easy to get into trouble if you murder the daughter of the prime minister under the emperor's feet!"
"If you want to be a princess, you must keep your hands clean so that no one can find any evidence against you. Do you understand?" Aunt Su said earnestly.
Hua Yuan uttered "oh" dejectedly and was immediately discouraged.
"My aunt will arrive in the capital soon, why are you in such a hurry?" Aunt Su patiently taught her: "Why bother to do it yourself when you can borrow a knife to kill someone?"
"I know, we are going to reap the benefits!" Hua Yuanshan rolled her eyes impatiently, but her mind was already drifting away.
…
There were crowds of people on Chang'an Avenue and the street vendors were hawking their wares in loud voices.
Fuling followed Hua Yuanzhao nervously, turning her head to look behind from time to time.
"What's wrong?" Hua Yuanzhao bought a candied haws and stuffed it into her hand.
"Miss... someone is following us..." Fuling pinched the candied haws, and her knuckles turned white from excessive force.
Hua Yuanzhao raised his eyes and looked in the direction they came from, and indeed saw two sneaky men.
She frowned slightly. The fewer people who knew about the antique shop, the better. What if someone connected her with Yuan Chunfeng...
"What should I do..." Fuling asked nervously.
"Let's take them for a walk first." Hua Yuanzhao turned around and slowly walked along the road with Fuling.
However, she overestimated her physical strength and was out of breath after walking for a while.
Hua Yuanzhao looked around, found a teahouse, went in, and ordered a pot of Pu'er tea with less oil.
The teahouse was bustling with activity. The storyteller slammed the table with his wake-up stick, flicked his sleeves and shouted, "The last time I read the book, it said that the playboy was heartbroken and went to the frontier in frustration..."
Hua Yuanzhao almost choked on his tea and quickly turned his head to look over. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The storyteller spoke with great gusto and in an ups and downs tone, and in just a few words he portrayed a frustrated young man.
The young man went through life and death on the frontier and made many outstanding achievements. In just two years, he transformed himself into a major general with outstanding military achievements.
"...It can be said that after all the makeup is washed away, gold is revealed. He was once a dandy prince, but now he is a young general..."
Hua Yuanzhao tapped the table with his fingertips, his eyes full of thought.
"But he is still that infatuated young man after all!" The storyteller tapped his wake-up stick lightly: "Let's not talk about the border war today, let's just talk about how the young general got angry for his beloved and robbed the execution ground alone a few days ago!"
Hua Yuanzhao's eyelids twitched. She leaned on the table and looked over, her eyes slightly complicated.
Before she could say anything, someone in the audience started shouting.
"Is this true? The eldest daughter of the Hua family has already been in such a state, and the young general is still obsessed with her?"
"It is said that the person who supervised the execution was the Third Prince. Didn't the eldest daughter of the Hua family have an engagement with him?"
"What kind of calendar are you talking about? They broke off their engagement a long time ago!"
"I know very well that after Rong Shizi was taken back by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, he was put in solitary confinement and has not been released yet!"
…
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting pretty heated, the storyteller slapped the wooden stick again and said, "Dear readers, please don't be anxious. Listen to me and let me explain in detail..."
"This matter has to start from the time when Miss Hua demonstrated her medical skills in the Huguo Temple and used a golden needle to save the queen..."
