Chapter 296: Leaving the City to Search for Medicine
"Sang Zhi doesn't have any guards around him. Tomorrow I'll ask Dad to bring Du Yi into the palace." Ye Qianning turned around and said, "Master, let's go. The wind is really blowing."
Dean Chen held Ye Qianning's hand and said, "Secret guards are not allowed to enter the palace. It would be terrible if they were discovered."
"Dad is very familiar with the captain of the palace guards. It won't be a big problem for Du Yi to enter the palace disguised as an ordinary guard. After the birthday banquet, I will find someone to enter the palace to take the exam for the guard position to replace Du Yi." If you want to arrange guards for Sang Zhi, you have to go through legitimate channels.
When the time comes, I can ask someone to arrange for me to be on duty at a place closer to Sang Zhi, so that there will be nothing to disclose when it is investigated in the future.
"Oh, you have really put a lot of effort into the Eighth Prince. I hope he won't forget you when he grows up." Dean Chen sighed.
"Sang Zhi is talented and unwilling to lag behind others. I believe he will shine brightly in the future. No one in the entire Beili can compare to him." Ye Qianning was not exaggerating.
Yes, Sang Zhi does have that ability, but he has some shortcomings.
Dean Chen turned to look at her confident face and laughed, "Eighth Prince himself probably doesn't have such confidence. You, on the other hand, have pushed him right to the top."
"It's true, but there's one bad thing."
"Tell me about it." Dean Chen raised his eyebrows. It was rare to hear bad things about Sang Zhi from the little girl.
"He doesn't know martial arts. Knowledge and governance alone are not enough. Martial arts are also the foundation. But Sang Zhi refuses to learn martial arts. It's obvious that he has the talent for martial arts. It's a pity." Ye Qianning has never seen anyone more suitable for martial arts than Sang Zhi.
If he learns martial arts, he will be able to conquer all directions.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. The Eighth Prince will achieve extraordinary academic success in the future."
"Alas, if you don't know Kung Fu, you will die young... It seems that I have to learn Kung Fu well." Ye Qianning could only act as the grass protector.
In fact, she had talked to Sang Zhi about this many times, but unfortunately, he was not interested in learning martial arts.
Why……
There is no hope!
Ye Qianning felt regretful.
What she couldn't have guessed was that this old-fashioned guy who said he would never practice martial arts would actually practice martial arts like crazy in the future.
He became the most unrivaled prince in Beili, but that is a story for later.
——
The next morning, Ye Qianning got up early. Only she and Fourth Auntie had breakfast together, as her father had gone to the palace before dawn.
Four days later, Emperor Beili held his birthday banquet. My father was getting busier and busier. He met with General Xiyan, and although there was no conflict, they parted on bad terms.
The Seventh Princess and her husband who followed Sang Zhi's carriage yesterday did not see Sang Zhi.
Although he tried to stop a car on the way, he was rebuked by Sang Qi.
I heard that Sang Qi was extremely hot-tempered yesterday. He blocked the Seventh Princess, scolded Sang Zhi, and finally snatched away Sang Zhi's cakes.
I guess he was very angry because he didn't bring any pastries to Sang Qi yesterday, but luckily he was not angry enough and didn't let Sang Zhi meet the Seventh Princess of Dongyi.
As for the pastries…
Sang Qi really has no boundaries.
"What are you thinking about? Eat your meal quickly." Fourth Auntie picked up some food for her.
Ye Qianning thought that Fourth Auntie was leaving today, so he had no appetite. "Fourth Auntie, can you stay one more day?"
"Oh." Fourth Granny was also reluctant to leave: "Once the family is settled, Fourth Granny will definitely come to Beili, and then she won't leave."
Ye Qianning sniffed and said, "Then I'll take Fourth Granny out of the city later."
"Just don't go."
"No." Ye Qianning started to throw a tantrum.
The fourth grandmother was helpless, knowing that she could not persuade the little girl.
After breakfast, Fourth Auntie returned to Yuehua Cottage to pick up her bag. When she reached the gate, she saw the housekeeper directing the servants to carry things to the door.
There were one or two large boxes on the carriage, and almost all the food, clothing and daily necessities were prepared.
"What's the point of bringing so many things?" Fourth Granny was dumbfounded.
"Not much. It will take one or two months for the carriage to travel all the way, and this money may not be enough." Nanyuan and Beili are the farthest apart among the four countries. If it weren't for the yin and yang interaction, she wouldn't have to worry.
When the two yin and yang interact, there will definitely be a lot of people along the way.
So she didn't dare bring gold, silver or jewelry for Fourth Mother-in-law, but only put a thick stack of banknotes in her bag.
The six guards who accompanied them secretly also carried a lot of banknotes with them, which they would use to buy real estate for the Fourth Mother and the others when they arrived in Nanyuan.
After packing up, the two got on the carriage. Kyoto City has been very busy these days. Ye Qianning's carriage went through the back streets and soon drove out of the city.
"We've all left the city, don't see us off." Fourth Auntie lowered the curtain and said.
"There's a Sifang Town twenty miles ahead, so we'll send you there."
"You're still so stubborn. Let's go to Sifang Town. Otherwise, it will be dark when you get back."
"Well, Si Po, remember to write me letters along the way and have the guards bring them to me."
"I see. What can happen to an old woman like me? I even have several guards." At her age, the fourth wife has also experienced the feeling of having guards with her.
"Fourth Auntie's status is different now, haha." Ye Qianning laughed.
"This is all thanks to you. It's just that your mother died early, so you didn't get to enjoy it. If she had brought you to Kyoto City earlier, maybe you would be the general's wife now." The fourth grandmother said with tears in her eyes: "Your mother is also stubborn. Back then, she refused to tell you who your father was. People poked her in the back and scolded her. Sigh."
"If my mother is still alive, she would be very pleased to see what is happening now."
"Yes, yes, if your mother could see this, she would be able to rest in peace." The fourth wife wiped the corners of her eyes.
Ye Qianning remembered it very clearly. The fat girl was indeed a very nice person. She looked gentle, but there was a heroic look between her eyebrows. She was also an excellent guqin player.
She also remembered the moment he died. When he came back in the carriage, his face was already pale. Not long after he finished explaining what happened, he foamed at the mouth and died of convulsions. It seemed that he had been poisoned.
The neighbors all said that he had contracted a disease outside, but she didn't remember knowing much about it.
She has already sent people to investigate the matter of Fatty, but not much news has been reported back yet. She will go to Nanyuan after things stabilize in Beili.
The carriage took about an hour or two to travel the twenty miles, and it was almost noon.
In the pavilion outside Sifang Town, Ye Qianning bid farewell to Fourth Grandma.
"Luo Wen went to Sifang Mountain."
Now that I'm out of the city, I'll go to the mountain to see if there is any hibiscus grass.
Sifang Town is located at the foot of Sifang Mountain. There is only one small path leading up the mountain, and cars cannot travel along it.
"Miss, what do you need to find? I'll go find it." Luo Wen asked.
The jungle on Sifang Mountain is dense and the mountain road is very narrow.
Ye Qianning jumped out of the car: "I was afraid you wouldn't recognize me."
"Miss, are you looking for the plants painted on the rice paper?" Luo Xuan appeared with the rice paper given to him by Du Yi in his hand.
"Well, it's called Hibiscus Grass, and it improves eyesight."
"I'll go look for it this way."
"Wait a moment, I'll draw it for me."
Luo Xuan presented the rice paper.
Ye Qianning walked into the grass with the scroll, dodging her feet lightly. The flying insects in the grass flew up with a bang. She spread out the scroll and walked around in the grass with it.
The insects that were densely packed just now paused for a moment and then flew away in all directions.
