Chapter 228 Another Doll
Hearing the maid's words, He Yuyan frowned and looked at her.
"Xiaoyu, I want to see your master."
Upon hearing her words, the maid named Xiaoyu's expression flickered.
The supervisor had given her instructions when she came to serve him.
We cannot reveal the situation here to her.
“Miss, our manager isn’t here.”
However, he confessed.
Your priority now is to recover. We can discuss everything else when he returns…
He Yuyan looked at her, feeling annoyed.
But now she is a dead person.
Unlike her previous escape from the Marquis's mansion where she feigned death, she is now truly "dead".
No identity, no name.
People who are already dead and cannot appear openly.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
But she's currently on their territory, and the people behind her don't want to see her.
She couldn't do anything about them either.
"Alright!"
I will take good care of myself.
Please tell your master that I wish to see Shen Bazhi!
He was able to escape thanks to Shen Bazhi.
Although she had no feelings for Shen Bazhi, she could tell that his identity here was not simple.
If Shen Bazhi knew she wanted to see him.
I'm afraid they won't refuse me.
The maid was startled to hear He Yuyan dare to address Master Shen by his name.
It seems that Miss He is unaware of Master Shen's status among them.
"Miss He, please rest assured."
I will relay your words to our supervisor.
"Ah."
Northern Xinjiang.
"Your Highness, according to our spies, Commander Lu will be setting off to return to the capital."
"Oh? Was the order issued from the capital?"
The eldest princess was puzzled.
She had assumed that Lu Hanting would stay for at least six months to wear her down.
After all, she knew that her previous actions must have worried the emperor.
"I heard that something seems to have happened in the capital, and it is said to be related to one of his concubines."
"Heh, all for a woman."
It seems that he did not inherit that person's cold-hearted and heartless genes.
"Guards, come with me to the Flying River. I want to meet him!"
When Lu Hanting led his men to the mouth of the Flying Sky River, they saw the Eldest Princess leading a group that blocked the riverbank.
"Your Highness, you..."
“Envoy Lu, this battle between us has not even begun.”
What, are you just going to run away with your tail between your legs?
Hearing her words, Lu Hanting frowned.
"Princess, let's not beat around the bush."
I know you have no intention of rebelling.
Therefore, there is no point in me staying here.
I have important business in the capital right now, so please do me the honor of letting me cross over to your side...
The fastest journey from northern Xinjiang to the capital by land would take at least ten days.
If he could cross this river, he would save himself a lot of trouble.
Now that Yan'er is in jail, he must go back as soon as possible.
"hehe……
"If you wish to cross my Flying River, you must grant me one request."
"any request."
Lu Hanting stared at her with sharp eyes.
If it were just a simple request, he might be able to agree.
But what if the princess's demands are excessive?
Don't blame him for using force to cross the river then.
Seeing the cold light in Lu Hanting's eyes.
The eldest princess laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
As she spoke, she pulled something out of her sleeve.
Lu Hanting saw her lift the cloth, revealing a small doll.
The eldest princess wore a bitter smile.
"This thing was originally a pair, but now the other one is lost."
All you need to do is help me find what's lost.
On the issue of the Northern Frontier, I will not only not put you in a difficult position, but I will also repay you for a favor later.
Lu Hanting looked at the tiny doll.
He thought it was something important, but it turned out he just needed to find something.
This wasn't a difficult task for him.
Lu Hanting looked at the Princess, pondering why she had entrusted him with this task.
Perhaps it's because she's currently trapped in the northern border region!
Although Lu Hanting had some doubts, he didn't ask any further questions.
"Okay, I promise you."
Upon hearing his agreement, the princess nodded and smiled.
"You can leave now!"
"As long as he doesn't commit a serious crime, I will not seize his throne."
This can be seen as indirectly revealing the truth to Lu Hanting.
After Lu Hanting's ship left.
The old nanny Shi, who was by the Princess's side, said, "Princess, why did you tell Commander Lu about the Princess's matter and ask him to go find her?"
The eldest princess laughed and said, "Shouldn't we have given it to him?"
After all, this was a promise I made with Rong Xue back then…
If they have children in the future, the girls will become best friends just like they did.
If they have one son and one daughter, they will marry.
pity……
Rong Xue was forced to leave the capital by that person back then.
At the time, she was preoccupied with her husband's illness and did not pay attention to his news.
What she regretted most was that her child with the prince consort was kidnapped and killed.
If she hadn't tracked down someone five years ago, she probably wouldn't have known that her daughter was still alive.
"Princess, if Envoy Lu finds the princess, do you really intend to marry her to him?"
The eldest princess looked at the few ships that were almost out of sight ahead.
"Granny Shi, that man didn't seize the throne back then because he acted erratically and was too arrogant."
And most importantly, there was no attempt to avoid the limelight.
As his only bloodline, you've seen it too.
He achieved the second rank with just a little effort, and his abilities are evident to all.
You know the capabilities of that person in the capital.
Now all the princes he has fathered are useless.
I cannot allow my father's empire to fall into the hands of any one of them..."
The eldest princess spoke these words with a cold and stern expression.
Granny Shi looked at the eldest princess in surprise.
"Princess, what are you thinking?"
A glint of light appeared in the princess's eyes.
"Granny Shi."
I helped him ascend to the throne, and he married my daughter; this is an equal exchange of benefits.
If it weren't for her own negligence, she and the prince consort's daughter probably wouldn't have been lost.
If she really finds her daughter, she will definitely give her the best things that women in the world desire most.
Five days later.
Lu Hanting finally returned to the capital.
Upon seeing the prince, who had rushed back covered in dust, Wu Weiwei looked surprised.
The old lady looked at her eldest grandson, feeling guilty.
"Ting'er, you, how did you get back..."
"Grandmother, are you feeling any better?"
Logically, upon his return, he should have gone to the palace to report back to the emperor.
But as soon as he entered the city, he heard that his grandmother was seriously ill in bed.
That's why Lu Hanting went straight back to the Marquis's residence to visit them first.
“Ting’er, your grandmother has been taking medicine these days and her health has improved significantly.”
With your mother and Madam Wu here to take care of me, I'm all set.
only……"
However, the old lady didn't know how to explain the matter of this girl Yan to her grandson.
She was afraid that Ting'er would rush to the palace to question the emperor after hearing the news. What should she do if that happened?
"Grandmother, your priority is to recover now. Leave everything else to your grandson..."
The grandmother and granddaughter talked for a while, and then the Lady Hou looked at Lady Liu.
Liu noticed the gaze that the old lady was casting at her.
He knew that the old lady wanted him to be the one to say it.
Wu Weiwei watched all this with a sneer in her heart.
You can delay it for a while, but you can't delay it forever.
I just don't know who will be able to withstand the Crown Prince's raging fury when he erupts.
Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, Lu Hanting glanced at Wu Weiwei, who was standing properly to the side.
But then she lowered her head.
Seeing this, Madam Hou felt resentful towards Wu Weiwei.
Having no other choice, I had to step forward myself.
"Ting'er, your mother has something to tell you in a moment. You must not get angry after hearing it!"
