Spring Secrets

Chapter 594: One hundred and ninety-four. Old Taoist

Views:

Because of Prince Zheng's wedding, all the princes and their wives and princesses were present, and the curfew was exempted. The people from the Five Cities Military Department were on high alert, and people from the Five Cities Military Department's yamen could be seen patrolling the streets every few steps.

After Princess Chang'an got on the carriage with red tassels and a canopy of eight treasures, servants helped her take off her shoes and lie down on the wide couch. She covered herself with a soft blanket and closed her eyes.

Leaving behind was the still trembling Fairy-Rong County Lady.

The confrontation with King Zheng just now was so thrilling. Especially before leaving, King Zheng did not forget to make a harsh remark, saying that if Princess Chang'an lied, he would punish her at all costs.

This statement was indeed a bit serious, not to mention that Prince Zheng even wanted to detain Nanny Yuan as well.

If Princess Chang'an had not been determined and refused to give in, Nanny Yuan would probably not have been able to leave the gate of Prince Zheng's Mansion.

When this uncle stripped off his amiable appearance, he turned out to be such a vicious and ferocious person.

She originally thought that her uncle had the best temper among all the princes.

I also thought that King Zheng would not have much patience with this cheap daughter.

But all her previous thoughts were wrong.

She nearly killed herself.

But the most sad and frightening thing was not just this, but the look Chu Jingxing gave her before she left.

They were about to get married, and would be a family soon, but at that time, she didn't know whether he heard the rumor or Princess Linjiang said something to him, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was so cold that she could feel the hairs on her arms stand up even from a distance.

She originally wanted to talk to her mother.

At the very least, it's good at least her mother could give her a good scolding.

After all, it was like this in the past. No matter how angry or disappointed her mother was with her, she could at least keep her safe and clean up the mess for her.

But as soon as the mother entered the carriage, she leaned down and closed her eyes to rest. She lowered her head and wanted to cry but didn't dare to, so she curled up in the pillow beside her to calm down.

No one knew how long it had been before there was suddenly movement from Princess Chang'an.

She coughed, waited for Nanny Yuan to come forward and help her up, drank a sip of sugar water, and then asked, "What time is it?"

Nanny Yuan gave her some honey water to moisten her throat and replied softly, "It's already 2:45 pm."

It's so late.

Princess Chang'an hummed, rubbed her head tiredly, and asked her, "Is everything packed?"

Nanny Yuan nodded and said, "I have already sent a letter back. Mr. Bai should be able to sort it out."

She paused and looked a little puzzled: "Why did you tell Prince Zheng and Princess Shouning about this? If it gets involved..."

Princess Chang'an sneered while holding the cup in her hand: "What is involved? What can they find? I told them all the clues. They can only know what I want them to know. Even if they suspect, what can they do to me?"

She has always been so confident.

Nanny Yuan lowered her head and said no more.

Princess Chang'an didn't care. She just opened the wooden window and looked at the sky outside. She frowned and said, "There are still so many carriages on the road."

"That's right." Nanny Yuan agreed, "Today, because of Prince Zheng's wedding, His Majesty has specially allowed the curfew to be lifted, and Prince Zheng went out so late to toast and entertain guests, so it's late. I'm afraid our eldest master has just come out of Prince Zheng's mansion."

Princess Chang'an nodded.

He also instructed Nanny Yuan: "Have Mr. Bai come to see me when you go back. I will not feel at ease if he does not come to report to me in person. After all, it happened so many years ago. Many details may be different. It is better to be cautious in everything."

After Nanny Yuan replied, she finally turned around to look at her daughter who was sitting beside her with her head stretched out, looking pitiful, and snorted heavily.

She rarely has moments like this.

Princess Xianrong couldn't hold back her tears immediately, and called out "mother" in a low voice.

Princess Chang'an looked at her daughter with a cold gaze, and there was no longer the love and care she once had in the past. She glanced at her coldly and then looked away.

Princess Xianrong's tears fell even harder, and she cried bitterly, not knowing what to do.

Nanny Yuan sat beside them, motionless as a mountain, without even moving her eyebrows, let alone making any attempt to speak out a word to help.

The Lady of Xianrong County became even more furious because of this.

When she was about to do all this, Nanny Yuan just said a few words to her disapprovingly and did not really try to stop her.

But now that something had happened, her mother scolded and blamed her, but Nanny Yuan just stood there silently, as if nothing had happened, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

But Nanny Yuan is her foster nanny!

She had all sorts of wild thoughts. Sometimes she blamed herself for being rash and not listening to advice, sometimes she blamed Wei An for being too cunning, sometimes she blamed her mother for being too cold, and finally she couldn't help blaming Nanny Yuan for not being able to stop her.

Princess Chang'an did not pay any attention to Lady Xianrong's intention until the carriage entered the princess's mansion. She just coldly ordered Bailing to take Lady Xianrong back to rest.

Princess Xianrong was both frightened and shocked. She quickly took a few steps, grabbed her mother's sleeve, and called out "Mother" in a low voice.

Princess Chang'an, however, had a heart of stone. She brushed her hand away without hesitation and looked at her coldly: "Last time, Skylark and Bailing almost died by your side, but they survived. Now Skylark is dead, and you only have Bailing by your side."

This naked warning frightened the Fairy-Rong County Lady.

Bai Ling, who was standing next to her, had already knelt on the ground, trembling and calling in a low voice, Princess Chang'an, for mercy.

Princess Chang'an didn't even look at her, and warned Xianrong County Lady directly: "You stay in Fangjian and reflect on yourself. You are not allowed to go out without my permission, and you are not allowed to see anyone sent by Linjiang Palace again."

The Princess of Xianrong County finally collapsed.

What she feared most was that Princess Linjiang and Chu Jingxing would know about this. She had just been trying to calm her mother down so that she could explain the matter to Princess Linjiang and Chu Jingxing, but now it was clear that her mother didn't want to pay any attention to her.

He also threatened her with Yun Que's death, saying that if she did anything irrational again, he would kill Bai Ling and leave her with no one she could use.

This was unprecedented and Princess Xianrong could not accept it at all.

But Princess Chang'an had already walked past her and walked straight forward without stopping for a moment.

Bai Ling got up from the ground in fear and cried to the Xianrong County Lady: "County Lady, let's go back first... It's too late..."

Nanny Yuan had already left with Princess Chang'an. She was alone and was afraid that she would not be able to persuade Princess Xianrong.

If this were true, then Lady Xianrong would be fine as the master, but she, as the servant, would be in trouble.
