Chapter 614: Chapter 560, Sorrows of Departure_2
Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment, “There shouldn’t be any issues for now. When we took over Sishan Village, it was close to the end of the year. We had many things to deal with and might have missed something. However… after we deliver the weapons to the Northern Frontier, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep it a secret anymore. There are people from Prince Eight in the military camps there.”
Daohua showed her concern, “Then what should we do? Will Prince Eight make a move against you?”
Xiao Yeyang: “…It is an unavoidable matter.”
Daohua’s heart tightened. She wasn’t too worried about the Tartars out in the open but feared those ‘own people’ lurking in the shadows.
Seeing Daohua’s worry, Xiao Yeyang took her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, we are delivering the weapons in secret. If Uncle Prince Eight really wants to cause trouble, he will go to Governor Wu.”
When the imperial uncle handed over Sishan Village to Governor Wu to manage, he also took this into consideration; no merit is ever granted for free.
Daohua was still a little uneasy, “Really? I always feel that those Hidden Guards, assassins, and the like are omnipresent, like they can’t be fooled by anything.”
Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but laugh, “They’re not that capable, they’re not immortals.” After saying this, he patted her hand, “Don’t worry unnecessarily, if I can’t even handle this little thing, how can I make something of myself in the future?”
Daohua tilted her head to look at him and said nothing.
Although Xiao Yeyang hadn’t mentioned anything about the elevation of the side consort to the main consort recently, she could sense that he was holding back a breath of frustration.
It was a frustration that had probably been building since he was a child.
“You must be careful yourself, don’t be too rash.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “When you go to Taohua Village to see Grandma and Master Gu, make sure to bring more maids and servants.” After a moment of silence, he added, “And you must wear your veil properly.”
Daohua murmured an agreement.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the skies, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”
The carriage was already prepared by De Fu, and Wang Manman had packed up Daohua’s belongings.
After disembarking the ship, Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua onto the carriage and then climbed in himself.
Daohua glanced at him but said nothing.
The carriage started slowly. Inside, Daohua leaned on a small table, supporting her cheek with her elbow as she watched the scenery outside. Xiao Yeyang was silently watching her, and neither spoke.
As they neared the city gate, Daohua started to feel a bit restless. She let the curtain fall and stopped looking outside, instead playing with a ribbon in the carriage.
Xiao Yeyang was also feeling a bit suffocated and choked up inside. He took Daohua’s hand and forced a smile, “I will try to hurry back to spend Duanwu Festival with you.”
Daohua nodded her head. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Hearing the noise of people outside, Xiao Yeyang knew they were approaching the city gate. He gave Daohua one last reluctant look, “Once we enter the city, you go back to Yan Residence on your own. I won’t come with you.”
Daohua: “…Alright.”
As they approached the city gate, the carriage stopped.
Xiao Yeyang gave Daohua one last look, opened the door, and hopped down from the carriage.
Daohua sat still inside, but once the carriage started moving again, she couldn’t help but lift the curtain to look back.
