"The young master was really sent to Lufeng City? And the young master's illness, really..."
The servant nodded, not knowing exactly what Yang Bo had told him, but only recounted everything he knew.
This was also Yang Bai's instruction: if the princess asked, he should say whatever he knew.
After hearing this, Princess Zhao's breathing became rapid, her face turning pale and then flushed, and she was momentarily unsure whether she could believe it.
In his letter, Yang Bo briefly explained that they had been sent to Lufeng City to recuperate, but he only mentioned it briefly in one sentence.
They dared not fabricate stories about the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the old lady, lest they be accused of sowing discord.
Anyway, if the princess really wants to know, she will investigate.
He talked more about the young master's life in Lufeng City and how Yun Zhiyi cured him.
However, the letter and lychees were sent out first before the Emperor Emeritus and Prince Cheng were encountered, so the matter was not mentioned in the letter.
Princess Zhao recognized that the handwriting was indeed Yang Bo's.
However, it cannot be completely confirmed that it was written by him personally.
In particular, the claim that Yun Zhiyi cured her son's illness is truly hard to believe.
Xiao Yu has a terminal illness.
Who is Yun Zhiyi? She is the woman abandoned by the Earl's Mansion. Where did she get such abilities?
If it's someone you don't know, you could say they might be a reclusive healer.
But the servants repeatedly confirmed that she was indeed the daughter of the former Earl of Anyuan, which made it hard for Princess Zhao to believe.
She couldn't help but believe it, unless she could see her son standing healthy and well in front of her.
Yang Bo had obviously taken this into account, so he also asked them to bring a token.
It was placed on someone else just to avoid being found out.
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao was anxious, but she did not rush to retrieve the token.
She pondered for a moment, then had the nanny retrieve her identity token. She left with the servants, bringing back the keepsake and gifts.
This servant is now being watched; if he leaves, it will definitely expose the location of the other servant.
Since they'll be discovered eventually, we might as well openly and honestly bring the people and things back, and do it in a grand manner.
Fu Zishu was concerned about his reputation and couldn't openly take things from his stepmother.
The old woman agreed and immediately led the servants and two attendants away.
As soon as they left, people followed them.
The car was waiting in a shady spot nearby.
When the old woman saw the person, she first took the token.
The keepsake was a longevity lock with Fu Ziyu's name on it.
It was drawn by Princess Zhao herself, who commissioned it to be made for her son, and even sent it to a temple for consecration and worship for forty-nine days.
The nanny handled most of the matters, so she was certain that the longevity lock was genuine.
Besides the longevity lock, there was also Yang Bo's identity plaque.
Both things prove that the two men are indeed related to the young master.
Either the young master has fallen into someone else's hands, or they were indeed sent by the young master.
The old woman naturally preferred the latter, and her emotions were quite agitated at that moment.
If the young master's illness is truly cured, that would be a joyous occasion.
After the joy subsided, he noticed what was covered by a thick layer of cloth inside the carriage.
Remembering what the servant had said earlier, "It's all lychees inside?"
The servant nodded immediately.
The old woman's brow immediately relaxed, and her face was full of relief.
The princess loved lychees the most, and it was unexpected that the young prince knew this and remembered it.
It seems he truly didn't resent the princess.
Since it is the young master's kind gesture, it should be taken seriously.
She asked, "Are the lychees alright? I hope they're not damaged from all this distance."
He went to lift the cloth to take a look.
The servant hurriedly replied, "We were very careful and rushed back as quickly as possible. Miss Yun even gave us some preservatives, saying that it won't spoil within fifteen days."
The lychees are packed in small, breathable wicker baskets, each basket weighing about five pounds.
The servants would sprinkle a little preservative water on it every day.
Each lychee still looks vibrant and juicy.
The old woman was somewhat surprised to see the lychees.
The old woman was also an old woman who came from the palace and had seen many tribute fruits, including lychees.
It's clear that these are far inferior to the lychees we've seen before.
She thought the young master had just seen some lychees in Lufeng City and sent them to the princess.
I never expected the lychees to be so good.
It's even better than the tribute fruit.
The old nanny was shrewd and experienced; her first thought was similar to that of Princess Fu'an.
Could it be that someone is deliberately trying to harm the young master by taking the tribute fruit as a gift?
She busied herself asking detailed questions.
He breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the lychees were picked from Miss Yun's manor.
After that, I didn't think much of it, assuming it was planted by Princess Fu'an before.
Quickly have them pull the cart and follow her.
They didn't even use the back door.
As expected, both people and vehicles were stopped at the gate.
The nanny took out the token and announced loudly.
"This is food that the young master brought to the princess. Please move aside. The food is fragile. If it is delayed and the princess blames you, you will not be able to bear the consequences."
The guards at the gate, after being greeted, said with stern faces, "This is a sensitive area of the Prince's residence. We cannot let people or things in at will. The items must be sent to the gatehouse for inspection first."
Princess Zhao lost her son and became estranged from Prince Zhao and his wife. She had always kept a low profile and did not hold a high position in the household.
Moreover, these people are all the eldest son's men, and that person is the most likely to become the heir apparent.
He knew exactly what was important and what was not, so he didn't hold back with the nanny.
The old woman had expected this, but she was still quite angry.
But considering that the young master may have recovered by now and has a long future ahead of him, he couldn't expose his condition out of momentary anger, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of him.
She took a deep breath. "Okay, let's go to the gatehouse."
The guards stepped forward and pulled the carriage toward the gatehouse.
