Chapter 335 Your Highness, the Little Prince has sent a letter.
Chapter 335 Your Highness, the Little Prince has sent a letter.
After living in the palace for a period of time, Su Nuannuan devised a plan and successfully slipped out of the palace gates under a pretext.
However, unlike in the past, she did not wander around as soon as she left the palace this time, but settled down peacefully at Prince Yong's residence, which made the Emperor breathe a sigh of relief.
On this sunny day, Su Nuannuan was leisurely lying on a deck chair under a sycamore tree, enjoying the peaceful moment.
"Your Majesty, the beef you requested has been purchased." Li Desheng, accompanied by several servants carrying the beef, came forward respectfully to report.
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan slowly raised her head and said with a smile, "Send it to Zhixiang; she knows how to make beef jerky." With that, she waved her hand gently, signaling Li Desheng to hurry up and get to work.
After receiving the order, Li Desheng dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly led his servants toward the small kitchen.
Just then, Little Yuanzi's father-in-law rushed in, beaming with joy, and shouted, "Your Highness, the young prince has sent a letter!"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan immediately perked up. She quickly put down the storybook in her hand, stood up, walked briskly to Xiao Yuanzi, and took the letter from her.
Seeing the Noble Consort's eagerness, Xiao Yuanzi quickly bowed and stepped aside, quietly watching Su Nuannuan eagerly open the envelope and read her son's letter.
"Great! They've finally arrived safely at the border town!" Su Nuannuan said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Cang Lan Jingcheng and Xiao Xingfang successfully entered the military camp, which made Su Nuannuan feel extremely gratified.
Canglan Jingyao, however, chose a different path. She bought a house and a shop, and together with Muge and Yaoqin, opened a medical clinic. This was undoubtedly a wise decision, satisfying her passion for medicine, providing her with a stable income, and allowing her to train female healers.
Then, Su Nuannuan looked up and instructed, "Jinse, immediately send someone to the princess's residence to summon Li Quan."
"Yes." Jinse replied, turned around and quickly walked out of the Wutong Courtyard, out of the mansion, and headed towards Princess Jianping's residence.
Fortunately, the two houses were not far apart, and Jinse did not take the usual route, so she arrived at Princess Jianping's residence very quickly.
Upon seeing Li Quan, Jinse, without saying a word, picked him up and started walking back. Li Quan was startled by this sudden action.
Upon arriving at the Wutong Courtyard of Prince Yong's Mansion, Li Quan almost fell to the ground as soon as his feet touched the ground, losing his balance.
"Oh dear!" Li Quan exclaimed. If Jinse hadn't reacted quickly and caught him, he probably would have knelt on the ground.
"Miss Jinse, can we please not do this next time? I want to save my life to serve the princess and her future master!" Li Quan said in a terrified voice, his tone full of pleading.
"You're hopeless!" Jinse rolled her eyes at him and said irritably.
Seeing this, Li Quan quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's all we've got. Please, Miss Jinse, have mercy on us." As he spoke, he even bowed to Jinse.
Jinse nimbly dodged Li Quan's bow, then urged anxiously, "Hurry up and go in! Her Majesty is still waiting for you inside! Moreover, the young prince and princess have sent a letter, probably with some important matters to entrust to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Quan dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly limped into the Wutong Courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he went straight to where Su Nuannuan was. When he got close, he hurriedly and respectfully bowed deeply, saying, "This servant greets Your Highness."
When Su Nuannuan saw him arrive, she didn't mince words and said directly, "Get up! Jianping has opened a clinic in the border town and urgently needs a batch of medicinal herbs, so I need to trouble you to arrange some people to send the medicinal herbs that the manor has prepared to the border town."
Upon hearing this, Li Quan quickly replied, "Yes, this servant will go back and make arrangements immediately, and will certainly handle this matter properly."
Su Nuannuan nodded slightly in satisfaction, then instructed, "Well, find a reputable escort agency and send someone you trust to go with you. Make sure this batch of medicinal herbs arrives safely at the border town."
Li Quan bowed again and replied, "This servant understands. In fact, the princess had already arranged for those precious medicinal herbs to be sent over before she left."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan's heart stirred, and she immediately thought of Granny Song and the group of secret guards under her command. She nodded to indicate that she understood.
"I have nothing else to attend to here, you can go back and make the arrangements! Jinse, escort Li Quan back." Su Nuannuan said expressionlessly, half-reclining on the recliner.
Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Li Quan's heart tightened. He quickly bowed and said humbly, "Your Majesty, there's no need for Miss Jinse to trouble yourself. This servant can go back on my own."
Su Nuannuan frowned slightly, seemingly surprised by Li Quan's refusal, and said calmly, "Alright then, be careful on your way back."
However, Su Nuannuan knew very well that although the two families were not far apart, Li Quan's legs were not very mobile, and it would probably take him quite a while to walk back. Moreover, there were regulations in the city that prohibited riding horses at high speeds unless in an emergency, so Li Quan had no choice but to walk slowly.
Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan was still a little worried. She turned to Jinse and instructed, "Never mind, Jinse, have Xiaoyuanzi arrange a carriage for him."
Jinse responded and then turned to convey Su Nuannuan's orders.
Upon seeing this, Li Quan quickly bowed again and said gratefully, "This servant thanks Your Majesty."
Li Quan naturally wouldn't refuse Su Nuannuan's kindness, since returning to the manor as soon as possible and completing the tasks entrusted to him by the princess was his top priority.
After Li Quan left, Su Nuannuan looked at Jinse and suddenly asked curiously, "How did you bring Li Quan here?"
"Uh~, I used my light-footed skill to fly him all the way from the rooftops," Jinse said somewhat awkwardly.
"You! Really, why are you in such a hurry? It's not an emergency, why scare him like that? He's already lame and doesn't know any martial arts. He's already being very kind by not throwing up on you halfway! So, please don't do that again." Su Nuannuan said to Jinse with a reproachful look, her tone tinged with helplessness and dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Jinse quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, saying sincerely, "Your Majesty's reprimand is absolutely right. It was all my fault. I know I was wrong! I will definitely not do it again next time. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Seeing Jinse's obedient demeanor, Su Nuannuan felt her helplessness and dissatisfaction lessen slightly. She slowly rose from the recliner, stretched her stiff limbs, and then said thoughtfully, "Jingcheng and the others have arrived safely at the border city, which puts my mind at ease. Since that's the case, I've stayed here long enough, and it's time to move to another place."
