Quan Yu heard Bai Qingyan say this and hurriedly said he dared not.
Bai Qingyan smiled faintly at Quan Yu. "Eunuch Quan, let’s part ways here..."
Quan Yu quickly bowed. "Princess of Zhen, take utmost care!"
Bai Qingyan nodded, let go of the curtains, and leaned back inside the carriage.
Quan Yu heard Bai Qingyan coughing inside the carriage, his heart ached. He stepped aside, watching Bai Qingyan’s convoy leave. A smile also appeared on his lips. The Princess of Zhen thanking him so earnestly made Quan Yu extremely happy.
Coming back to his senses, he found that the Princess of Zhen indeed did not let the Crown Prince’s personal guards accompany her. Quan Yu planned to tell the Crown Prince of the Princess’s loyalty upon his return. The Princess of Zhen always considered the Crown Prince. But Old Fang always looked down on the Princess and constantly tried to drive a wedge between the Princess and the Crown Prince.
Quan Yu tightened his fist, stood where he was, and watched Bai Qingyan until he could no longer see the convoy before he got on his own carriage.
As soon as Quan Yu returned to the Crown Prince’s residence, he reported Bai Qingyan’s loyalty to the Crown Prince, stating that Bai Qingyan said the Crown Prince’s safety was more important and did not take a single guard with her, leaving them all to protect the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince nodded continuously after hearing this. "The Princess of Zhen indeed considers everything for me! This time, the Princess of Zhen sustained severe injuries to save me. Quan Yu... open the storeroom, select some rare treasures and tribute supplements; regardless of whether it’s bear paws, Yan cormorant beaks, or ape lips, pick valuable ones and send them to Shuoyang, so the Shuoyang Clan knows that I am backing the Princess of Zhen, and they must respect her."
"Yes!" Quan Yu knew the Crown Prince was giving Bai Qingyan face and responded with a smile. "Rest assured, Your Highness, I will manage it properly!"
On October 27, the Princess of Zhen’s carriage arrived at Kongtong Mountain. When she was resting and eating at the posthouse, Shen Qingzhu arrived.
Besides herself, Shen Qingzhu also brought back news from Ji Tingyu.
Covered in dust from travel, Shen Qingzhu saw the raised flag of the Bai family of the Princess of Zhen’s residence from afar and quickly rode to the posthouse. Without waiting for her horse to stop completely, she dismounted in a leap. Seeing Lu Ping, who was settling the Bai family guards at the door, she called out: "Uncle Ping!"
"Miss Shen!" Lu Ping smiled. "This time, the Eldest Young Lady brought back Yingshuang too. You haven’t seen Yingshuang for a long time, have you?"
Shen Qingzhu threw the reins to the Bai family guards. Thinking of Yingshuang, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she nodded. "I will go see her later. Where is the Eldest Young Lady?"
"Upstairs, having her meal..."
"I will go see the Eldest Young Lady first!" Shen Qingzhu cupped her hands to Lu Ping and ran upstairs.
Just as Shen Qingzhu reached upstairs, she saw Chun Tao coming out with a bowl of medicine. She called out, and Chun Tao greeted her joyfully. "Miss Shen!"
Shen Qingzhu frowned, looking at the medicine bowl on the black lacquered tray in Chun Tao’s hands. "This is..."
Chun Tao’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her voice. "The Eldest Young Lady is injured."
Before Chun Tao finished speaking, Bai Jinzhi opened the door. "Sister Qingzhu!"
"Let Qingzhu come in! Chun Tao, add another set of utensils!" ƒrēewebnovel.com
