Chapter 215 Departing from the South China Sea
Chapter 215 Departing from the South China Sea
After Shen Rou finished explaining everything, she returned to her room to pack her things. The trip to the South China Sea would take at least several months, so she put a lot of things into the space in case of emergency.
In the evening, Shangguan Yunting came back and everyone sat together. "Rui'er, Uncle Jiu and Xiaorou went to the South China Sea and we don't know when they will be back. We should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others."
"Xiaoxue is simple-minded. People in the capital are greedy and have vicious minds. You can't trust people easily. Try to avoid taking her to the palace. The women in the palace are all vicious and scheming. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap set by them.
Shangguan Rui looked at them and said firmly, "Uncle Jiu, don't worry. I've lived in the palace since I was a child. I understand the women there better than anyone else, and I don't want Xiaoxue to be put in danger."
"As long as you know."
"Be extremely careful when you enter the unfamiliar South China Sea. The waters are like a deep abyss, and you are unfamiliar with it. Hainan is made up of over a hundred islands and reefs. Even Commander Lin of Jiaozhou may not be familiar with the structure and location of each island."
"No one in the court is familiar with the sea area over there, otherwise your father would not have sent me there."
"I'll leave Zhang Qiao and the others here to serve you."
"Uncle Jiu, you are in need of men now. Take all the guards with you. When I return, my father will select twenty guards for me from the Royal Training Camp. I will have people available now."
"Really don't need it?"
"No need really."
Shangguan Yunting nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then I'll do as you say."
"Xiao Rou, I've already sent a message to Ye Qing, Xu Yang and the others, instructing them to protect Grandma, Xiao Nan and the others."
"Think about anything else you haven't arranged, and make sure everything is arranged before you leave."
"Nothing's wrong."
Early the next morning, Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou prepared to set off, and Zhang Qiao and the guards were waiting at the city gate.
Shangguan Rui, sitting in a wheelchair, handed two brocade bags to Shangguan Yunting. "Uncle Jiu, these are the amulets that I asked someone to obtain from the royal temple. May you and the princess have a safe journey and return home soon."
Shangguan Yunting took it and patted Shangguan Rui's shoulder gently, "Rui'er is so thoughtful."
"Sister, you and your husband come back soon. Our whole family is waiting for you to come home."
"Big sister also wishes you to master surgical techniques as soon as possible. I also wish the Third Prince a speedy recovery."
"Thank you, sis."
Doctor Ye handed Shangguan Yunting two boxes of wound medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. "Your Highness, these are the wound medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs I prepared for you. I hope you don't need them."
"If I weren't researching surgery, I would also like to go to the South China Sea. I heard the islands there are so beautiful and spectacular."
"Thank you, Doctor Ye. You can come over and take a look after I deal with the pirates."
"Have a safe journey and return soon."
"Thank you, Doctor Ye. I'm leaving."
Han Lin walked out holding two brocade boxes. "Han Lin, distribute them to everyone when we get to the city gate."
"Yes."
Afterwards, Shangguan Yunting took Shen Rou out of the mansion. Shen Xue followed their footsteps to the door, watched them mount their horses and ride away, and stared at the direction where the horses disappeared, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Su Yu stood behind Shen Xue and comforted her: "Second Miss, go back! The princess and the prince will be back soon."
Just as Shangguan Yunting and his men arrived, two hundred assassins sent by Censor He took a shortcut and set off for Jiaozhou.
When Concubine He learned that they had left, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. She secretly thought that Concubine Hui's birthday banquet was the perfect opportunity.
Given their relationship as sisters and Concubine Hui, they will definitely be invited to the party.
"Mammy, send someone to monitor the Third Prince, Shen Xue, and Concubine Hui and the others. Report any news immediately."
"Old slave obeys the order."
