Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 71-75

Chapter 71: Tomorrow Morning, There Will Be More Excitement in the Court

Outside Nangong Mansion.

After bidding farewell to her grandparents, Jiang Ru and her group boarded their carriages one by one. Jiang Ru held her grandmother's hand and whispered, "Grandmother, please remember to take the supplements I left for you on time."

The elderly lady caressed Jiang Ru's cheek, which resembled Nangong Li's, and choked up, saying, "Jiang Ru, the road is full of dangers. Please take good care of yourself."

A sour emotion welled up in Jiang Ru's heart, but she suppressed her tears and said, "Grandmother, I will take good care of myself."

Qin Zhen couldn't help but feel impatient when he saw this emotional family scene.

Hey! Are you going or not?

Cough!

He discreetly cleared his throat to remind Jiang Ru that it was time to depart. On this journey of exile, they might as well visit some relatives along the way!

Prompted by Qin Zhen's urging, Jiang Ru finally boarded the carriage. As the carriage gradually moved away, the emotions of her grandparents gradually settled.

They believed that there was a long road ahead, and this separation was only temporary.

Jiang Ru quietly wiped away the tears in her eyes and muttered to herself, "Look at how sentimental I've become!"

Xiao Chengjin, hearing Jiang Ru's choked-up voice, felt uncomfortable. He really wanted to wake up and comfort her, telling her not to be sad and that he would accompany her to visit her family.

However, the timing was clearly not right.

He thought that if they spent more time together, when he woke up, Jiang Ru might have grown attached to him and wouldn't want to leave.

Suddenly, Jiang Ru felt that the carriage was moving faster. She opened the curtain and saw Qin Zhen and his group on horseback.

Hey, not bad!

They can even afford horses.

Wait a minute, these horses look somewhat familiar.

Jiang Ru glanced at the horses and teasingly said, "Captain Qin, you're doing well!"

Qin Zhen felt somewhat embarrassed by her comment. He cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Lady Xiao managed to provoke the bandits' den, so we took the opportunity to confiscate their horses."

If you hadn't been so slow, do you think we would have been in such a hurry?

...

In the capital.

After returning home from the morning court session, Master Fu received an anonymous letter from his servants. When he opened it and recognized Xiao Chengjin's handwriting, he was taken aback.

This... is the handwriting of Prince An!

Master Fu's thoughts raced. This handwriting couldn't be fake.

In other words, Prince An has awakened.

Or perhaps, from the beginning, Prince An's "unconsciousness" was just an act.

In any case, as long as he's safe, that's what matters.

He hurriedly returned to his study, carefully reading the contents of the letter.

Bandits attacked Prince An's party?

Chu Wenqian colluding with bandits?

Prince An's suggestion was for him to strongly recommend Yun Zhong'an for the position of Shengzhou Prefect in court...
