Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Return
Princess Yuanan was in good spirits throughout the day.
In the evening, Nanny Ru brought the medicine over. Seeing that she drank the whole bowl of medicine without changing her expression, she said with relief, "Your Highness, you are in much better spirits today."
Yuzhu also said happily: "Your Highness slept well yesterday."
Since the beginning of winter, Princess Yuan'an has been ill, and this time her illness is really serious. Although she sleeps for a long time every day, her sleep is not restful. Sometimes she has nightmares and she doesn't sleep well.
However, after I went to bed early yesterday morning, I slept very soundly.
"Really?" Princess Yuan An said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because Xiao'er is back, and I'm happy to see him healthy. Naturally, I don't feel so bad, and I can sleep well."
The two felt that this made sense. As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them.
The princess had always been worried about the prince. Now that she saw that he was fine and the mother and son were finally reunited, her mood improved and maybe her body would feel a little more relaxed.
Suddenly, Nanny Ru looked hesitant.
Princess Yuan An smiled and said, "Madam, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Nanny Ru had served her all her life and was loyal to her. Princess Yuan'an was mostly tolerant of these trusted elders.
Madam Ru said, "Your Highness, the prince is in good health. I don't know which miracle doctor cured him. I wonder if he can..."
When Zhou Suniang took the prince south, they all knew about the prince's situation.
He is poisoned and won't live for many years.
Even the palace physician concluded that he could only live for three years at most.
Now, the prince is not only alive, but he looks well, healthy and safe.
I guess he must have met some miracle doctor in the south who cured him.
Nanny Ru didn't ask for anything else but to find the miracle doctor who cured the prince and let him cure her princess as well. She really couldn't bear to see the princess so sick and end up like that.
When Yuzhu heard this, she looked a little anxious.
She was naturally happy to see that the prince was alive and well, but she also hoped that the princess could survive like the prince. Obviously, the princess' condition was not as serious as the prince's, and it could definitely be cured.
Princess Yuan An smiled when she heard this and said, "Xiao Er did bring me a miracle doctor this time."
"real?!"
The two looked at her excitedly, and when they saw Princess Yuanan nodded affirmatively, they couldn't help but cry with joy.
Princess Yuan An warned: "But you only need to know about this matter, don't spread it outside."
The two men looked stern and agreed.
Although all the people in Qingxiao Palace are theirs, they are also afraid that there may be ears on the other side of the wall. The fewer people who know about this, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As he was speaking, he saw Fu Wenxiao and Yu Li coming over.
The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and it was almost dark. The two men came to say goodbye to Princess Yuan An and leave after it was completely dark.
Princess Yuan'an smiled and asked them to sit down and asked Yuzhu to prepare some tea and snacks.
"It's ready." Yuzhu put out the snacks and said with a smile, "Madam, please eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, ask the kitchen to make more."
Not only Yuzhu, but also Aunt Ru looked at her with a kind face.
Yu Li glanced at them. It seemed that everyone in Qingxiao Palace knew that he was a good-for-nothing.
Look at the snacks they prepared, filling up the entire table. Each one is different and looks delicious.
Yu Li was not polite. She had to eat more, wait until her super powers were restored, and treat the princess before leaving.
Princess Yuanan saw her sitting there, eating snacks obediently, so she didn't disturb her and turned to talk to her son.
"Xiao'er, are you leaving tonight?" she asked her son, "Will you stay a few more days?"
The mother and son had not seen each other for several years and almost separated by life and death. She hoped that her son and daughter-in-law could stay here for a few more days. As long as they did not leave Qingxiao Palace, people outside would not find out.
Fu Wenxiao said, "It's a good time to leave after dark. The nanny is very worried about you and is waiting for our news at home. Yan Sheng and Yan Hui are also here."
Princess Yuan An was stunned for a moment and asked, "How are the two children now?"
"They look good, but they are a little timid and need more training." Fu Wenxiao said, "When they grow up, you can take them out for more training."
Princess Yuanan felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
Although she had restrained herself, some expression still showed on her face.
At this time, Yu Li said, "Mother, we will return to the city tonight and come to see you tomorrow night."
She looked at the princess's mother-in-law's face. She looked like Fu Wenxiao. The lost look of this beauty was really unbearable.
She kept Fu Wenxiao in her heart, so she naturally couldn't bear to see the princess mother-in-law, who looked so much like Fu Wenxiao, feel sad. Seeing her sad, it was as if she saw Fu Wenxiao sad, so she couldn't help but want to satisfy them.
Princess Yuan An was rarely able to react. "Come over tomorrow night?"
Even Nanny Ru and Yuzhu, who were waiting on the side, were a little surprised.
Didn't they come here only once, and were planning to come here every night? They really thought that after all the hardships they had gone through to get here, they would come up with such an idea, as if they were treating the palace as their own yard, coming whenever they wanted, without paying any attention to the time.
No, it also depends on the time. We always come here at night.
Yu Li nodded and said, "I'll come over every night from now on."
She also needs to treat the princess's mother-in-law, so she must come often for it to be effective. If she can't come during the day, she can only come at night. It's also good to come at night so that she can hide from others.
Hearing this, several people looked at Fu Wenxiao and found that he did not speak, but smiled at them instead.
That's true.
For a moment, even Princess Yuan'an didn't know what to say. It was a bit unbelievable. Soon, when she thought of the hole in the roof of the main hall that had not been repaired, she began to understand.
Princess Yuanan said nothing more.
She knew very well why Yu Li came here. Naturally, he came here to appreciate the kindness. She also felt that this child was very affectionate and it was impossible not to like him.
It doesn't matter if she has a simple personality, they will just protect her more in the future.
After Yu Li finished his snack, the meal was delivered from the kitchen.
Princess Yuanan had dinner with them, which was also a reunion dinner with her son and daughter-in-law.
While eating, Princess Yuanan finally saw how good Yu Li's appetite was.
But watching her eat made people want to eat more. She couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Li Niang, if you're still hungry, tell Yuzhu to ask the kitchen to make more."
It doesn’t matter if the daughter-in-law can eat, they can afford it anyway.
Yu Li hummed, then said: "That's enough."
As she spoke, she glanced at Princess Yuan An and felt that she and Fu Wenxiao had very similar personalities. Seeing that she ate so much, she didn't even frown, accepted it very quickly, and even asked her if it was enough.
As if it was normal for her to eat so much.
But since these people didn't ask, she was too lazy to explain.
Yu Li felt that the Qingxiao Palace was quite good. It would not get surprised if she ate too much and would even prepare more food for her.
The meals and snacks made by the chefs here are very good. They can cook many kinds of cuisines, and she thinks they are all delicious.
After dinner, it was already dark outside.
Coincidentally, the snow stopped.
After drinking tea, Yu Li sat next to Princess Yuanan and pulled her wrist.
Princess Yuanan moved her fingers slightly, sat calmly, and looked at her with a smile.
The palace maids serving nearby were a little puzzled, but since the princess didn't say anything, they naturally wouldn't speak rashly.
When Yu Li withdrew her hand, Princess Yuan An's eyes fell on her face and asked softly, "Mother Li, are you tired?"
"Not bad, not too tired." Yu Li said, "I slept a lot today."
She did sleep a lot today. After lunch, she went back to sleep and didn't wake up until the afternoon.
It was about time, and Fu Wenxiao and Yu Li prepared to leave.
The two men put on their clothes, put on gloves to keep warm, and put on the cloaks prepared by the palace servants.
Nanny Ru couldn't help but nag, "Prince, Madam, why don't you stay for a few more days? Although the snow has stopped, it has been snowing for a few days. I'm afraid the snow on the road is too deep and difficult to travel..."
Yu Li said: "It's okay, as long as the carriage can move."
In case the carriage cannot move, it would not be difficult to get off and lift it.
At this time, Yuzhu came over with a food box.
She handed the food box to Fu Wenxiao and said, "Prince, Madam, these are snacks made in the kitchen. Madam, you can eat some when you are hungry on the road."
Fu Wenxiao reached out to take it and responded indifferently.
Then, the two said goodbye to Princess Yuanan.
Princess Yuan An asked, "How are you going to get out?"
As she spoke, Yu Li's gaze fell on a corner of the main hall, and it was obvious that she still wanted to get out from there.
Looking at Fu Wenxiao again, he looked calm, which also seemed to be a kind of indulgence.
Ali can do whatever he wants, he has no objection.
Princess Yuan An smiled and said, "That's not necessary. You can wait a moment and go out through the window."
Climbing out of the window is definitely better than going out through the hole in the roof.
Yu Li said "oh" and said, "She actually didn't care where she went out from."
Soon after, a eunuch came over and said respectfully, "Your Highness, it has been arranged."
Princess Yuan An hummed and said to Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao: "Xiao'er, Li Niang, I will take you out."
"No need for you to see me off." Fu Wenxiao said, "You are not feeling well, just stay in the room. We will come to see you tomorrow night."
Princess Yuanan smiled.
But when they left, she still insisted on seeing them off. She watched the palace servants open the window of the side hall, and then the two of them climbed out of the window and soon disappeared into the dark night outside.
The cold wind blew in from the window, causing the curtains in the hall to sway continuously. The temperature dropped suddenly, and the room became cold and silent.
Princess Yuanan stood there, her dark blue silk-engraved grey squirrel cloak blown up by the cold wind.
The palace maid quickly closed the window.
Yuzhu and Nanny Ru helped her back to the inner hall, fearing that she would be cold.
Nanny Ru brought her a bowl of medicine and helped her drink it, sighing that things in the world are unpredictable, "I never thought that one day, the prince would come to see you and would have to climb over the wall and through the window... I just saw the prince climb out the window, he was quite nimble, it seems that his skills have not changed."
In the past, the Crown Prince had learned some martial arts from the Duke. If he really fought with others, he could defeat ten people at once.
Yuzhu smiled and said, "Not only is he very skillful, I think he is even more capable than before." Then she thought of something and smiled with her hands covering her mouth, "I asked the Crown Prince's wife earlier, and she said that the Crown Prince went to the capital this time to participate in the imperial examination next year..."
She couldn't help but laugh when she said this.
In the past, some people scolded the Fu family for being a military family, and the prince was naturally a crude warrior. However, now this warrior has become a juren and went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
I can only say that the world changes so fast, which also proves how talented the prince is.
Princess Yuan An chuckled and said, "The prince of Zhenguo is dead. This is something that the saint tacitly agreed to. He cannot come back as the prince of Zhenguo. It is safest to take the imperial examination. If he goes to the capital as a juren, even if those people in the capital want to make trouble after knowing his identity, as long as the saint above doesn't say anything, no one dares to directly attack the juren with merit..."
Even if we want to take action, we can only do it in secret.
The smile on Yuzhu's face faded slightly.
Madam Ru said in a hateful voice: "The Saint has such a cruel heart! He allowed the prince to enter the palace and raised him with the other princes, treating him as his own son. Even if... he had raised him for so many years, he must have some feelings for him, right? But our prince hasn't died yet, and the news of his death has spread. It's really..."
Princess Yuanan's eyes were slightly closed, but she said nothing.
Yuzhu tugged at Nanny Ru's sleeve and asked her to speak less. The princess didn't like to hear this.
Nanny Ru had no choice but to shut up in anger.
**
After leaving the main hall of Qingxiao Palace, Yu Li took Fu Wenxiao and jumped onto the roof and left from the roof.
The night is silent and the north wind is howling.
Although the snow has stopped, the north wind is still very strong, especially on the roof, which can blow people off if you are not careful.
Yu Li stood still, pulling Fu Wenxiao as he walked on the roof, as light as a cat.
A quarter of an hour later, the two men left the palace, walked through a woods outside the palace, and came to the other end of the woods, where a carriage was waiting in the dark.
The people waiting there heard the noise and became alert. They only spoke after realizing the identity of the person who came.
"Prince, Madam!"
Fu Wenxiao said: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." A guard said with a smile, "We will take turns guarding it." Then he told them that as long as they didn't get close to the palace, the soldiers over there would not come here to search.
Fu Wenxiao and Yu Li mounted their horses.
As the carriage was running in the snow, he asked, "Li Niang, are you hungry? Eat something first."
When she left earlier, she treated her mother for fear that she would starve.
Yu Li was indeed hungry again, so he took the snacks in the box and started to eat them, saying as he ate, "Xiao brother, the food and snacks here are delicious, much better than those in the restaurants outside."
"Of course." Fu Wenxiao's voice sounded in the darkness, with a smile, "The chefs around my mother are all imperial chefs, and their cooking skills are very good."
Yu Li said "oh". She naturally understood the difference between the imperial chef and ordinary chefs.
Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Xiao Ge'er, you said before that there is a person in the capital who is very good at making medicinal food. Who is he? Is he also the imperial chef?"
When it comes to food, her spirits perk up.
She didn't like the taste of medicinal food, but he said that person could make it delicious, so she definitely wanted to try it.
Fu Wenxiao laughed. He didn't expect that she had remembered this all along. He said, "This man is called Xu Shan. He is not an imperial chef, but he was born into an imperial chef family. When I have time, I will take you to find him and ask him to make medicinal food for you."
"That's a deal!" Yu Li was immediately filled with anticipation.
The way back is not easy.
Because it had snowed for several days, the road was piled with snow and the carriage could easily get stuck in the snow.
At this time, everyone stopped, got off and lifted the carriage.
As the carriage continued to move forward, Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao muttered, "It would be great if I could ride a horse."
But the horses wouldn't let her ride. As soon as she got close, their four hooves went limp and they fell down without a sound. It was really difficult to deal with.
If you can ride a horse, the speed will be greatly reduced.
Fu Wenxiao didn't care about this and comforted him, "It doesn't matter. A carriage is fine anyway. Two horses pulling a carriage together is not slower than riding a horse."
Even though the carriage was a little bumpy, it didn't affect them much.
So it doesn't really matter whether you ride a horse or a carriage.
Due to heavy snow blocking the roads, the carriage moved slowly, and it took them nearly three hours to get back to the capital, and it was already past four o'clock in the morning.
The two men climbed over the city wall and entered the city, then returned home under the cover of night.
After returning to the house in the capital, Yu Li took Fu Wenxiao over the wall again.
The servants in the house were very alert. When they noticed the noise, they rushed out to check. They found that it was the Crown Prince and his wife who had returned, so they hurried to notify the steward.
Soon, lights were lit in the house.
