Chapter 180 The 9th Prince is coming
Shu Yuanqing looked at her in a daze. For some reason, whenever he looked at those bright and clear eyes, he always felt a sense of guilt running through his heart.
Shu He asked, "The girl named Aguo?"
"No, that's not it. I'm talking about my sister, her name is Shu He."
A complex expression flashed across Shu He's eyes, but he said "Oh" calmly.
It turns out that he still remembers that he has a sister.
Seeing this, Shu Yuanqing showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and always felt that the woman's reaction was a little strange.
Doctor Cheng said she was a very warm-hearted and kind person. She possessed miraculous medical skills, but was willing to teach them to Doctors Xu and Cheng without reservation and without asking for anything in return, just so that those skills could be carried forward and benefit more people.
Why would such a selfless woman be so indifferent to him?
Did he do something to make her uncomfortable?
"Mrs. He." Zhang Zhiyi and Beiji came over together. He looked a little worried and asked, "How is Ah Rou?"
Shu He smiled faintly at him and said comfortingly, "It's okay. I brought some healing medicine and have given it to Arou. She will be well again soon."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhiyi finally felt relieved.
"Thank you, Madam He!"
There were only four people in the Zhang family, and now, Shu He had saved the lives of three of them from the clutches of Hades. Zhang Zhiyi really didn't know how to repay such a great favor...
Beiji spoke at this time, with a serious look on his handsome face, "We have to go back."
Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Did something happen?
Shu He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much. He just went into the tent again and gave a few words to Xu Lao and Cheng Qi before leaving.
Xiao Yier lay on Beiji's shoulder, waved to Shu Yuanqing, and said softly, "Goodbye, uncle!"
Shu He turned around and glanced at Shu Yuanqing indifferently, with a bit of alienation.
Shu Yuanqing also subconsciously shook his hand, a smile on his face. Why did he feel so close and fond of that child?
And that lady He, why did he always feel that her attitude towards him was a little strange?
------------
On the carriage.
"What? Yang You's men have been here?" Shu He exclaimed in surprise, "Such a quick reaction?!"
After saying this, she couldn't help but sneer, "It seems that he is not afraid of your prince at all."
Beiji's face exuded a cold expression, "He must be a little wary, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to go to the military camp to ask for someone."
"Indeed, if they were truly fearless, they should have come to arrest him when we returned to Biluoyuan."
"Oh, why did you chase him away? I also want to go and see the prison in Beisha City!" Shu He felt it was a pity. If he didn't go to the prison, how could he let Yang You suffer the consequences of his actions?
Beiji showed a trace of helplessness on his face, "Who always wants to go to jail? If you go to jail, what will happen to Xiaoyi'er?"
"That's true!" Shu He chuckled and patted Xiao Yi'er's head. "Forget it, let's think of another way to deal with Yang You!"
"Do you think he dares to come to Biluoyuan?" Shu He asked Xiang Beiji, always feeling that Yang You would not give up so easily.
"Yes." Bei Ji said with certainty.
"why?"
She was puzzled, wondering where he got his conclusion from. Didn't he say that Yang You was afraid of Baili Moqing? How could he dare to come?
"Because the Ninth Prince is coming."
When the three of them returned to Biluo Courtyard, Zhenli was holding a note and showing it to Baili Moqing.
Both of them looked a little cold.
"Your Highness." Bei Ji stepped forward and saw the letter in Zhen Li's hand. He had some guesses in his mind and asked, "Is this the news from Xi Zhu? About the Ninth Prince coming to Beisha City?"
"How do you know?" Zhenli was a little surprised.
He just received the news, how come Beiji knew it earlier than him?
Beiji briefly recounted what had just happened outside the military camp.
Baili Moqing exuded a chill, and a sneer curled his lips. "This Yang You is really quite courageous. He doesn't even take me seriously!"
"Your Highness, Su Su shouldn't interfere. He is famous for being smooth and has always wanted to protect himself. Why did he suddenly stand behind the Ninth Prince this time?" Zhen Li was puzzled.
"Of course it's not just because of Old Nine." Baili Moqing threw the note on the stone table in the yard, feeling a little disappointed. "It seems that Auntie will not give up until she achieves her goal this time."
"The eldest princess?" Bei Ji asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Su Su became the eldest princess's disciple?"
"If he wants to leave Beisha City, he naturally has to pay his respects to the leader." Zhen Li wasn't surprised by this. "But why did he choose the eldest princess? Isn't the ninth prince a better choice? Even if the ninth prince doesn't like her, there's still the fourth prince!"
After Baili Moqing left the capital, the fourth prince, Prince Xiaoyang, who had been ignored, quickly rose to prominence and became another prince in Kyoto who could compete with Prince Nanyu.
Rumors were circulating in the capital that one of the two, Prince Nanyu and Prince Xiaoyang, would preside over the grand sacrificial ceremony six months from now. This also marked the final selection of the crown prince.
Whether it is Prince Xiaoyang or Prince Nanyu, they would both have more promising prospects than the eldest princess.
"Who said that what he wants is a future?" Baili Moqing said with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
Bei Ji was even more confused, "Don't want a future? Then why would you choose to be a disciple of the Princess?"
At this moment, Xiao Hei, the gatekeeper, came in and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, General Yang and Governor Su are requesting an audience. General Zhang is here too, and they are both waiting outside."
Shu He was holding a steamed bun in his hand, eating it with gusto. "Yang You, he came pretty fast!"
She looked at the sky and murmured, "It's almost time."
Baili Moqing saw her finish her muttering and then go into her yard, with a puzzled look on his face.
Didn't she want to see Yang You? Why was she hiding?
"Prince, do you want to pass it on?" Xiao Hei asked carefully when he saw that his prince had not spoken for a long time.
"Pass it on."
Zhenli pushed Baili Moqing into the front hall.
There is a desk behind the screen in the hall. Baili Moqing used to like to read and write there.
But recently, he rarely does these things, because Xiao Yier always climbs on him to sleep for no reason, and he can't stand it anymore.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyi led the two into the front yard. On the left was a stout man in brocade clothes, with thick eyebrows, small eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, and a greasy face with a hint of arrogance.
Somewhat disgusting.
The other man, wearing the lake-blue official uniform of a provincial governor, had a pair of sharp, sly eyes and a flattering smile, making him appear quite cunning. He had a goatee on his chin, and while his appearance wasn't outstanding, he was much more pleasing to the eye than the man next to him.
After Zhang Zhiyi brought the two of them in, he first bowed to Baili Moqing behind the screen, and then walked to Beiji's side very naturally.
Yang You glanced at the governor Su next to him, with a hint of hesitation between his brows. After seeing his gesture, the two of them bowed together.
"Su Su, Yang You, meet King Dongli."
When the voice fell, the air was silent, without a sound at all.
Yang You waited for a while, but still received no response. He raised his head in confusion and looked behind the screen.
"presumptuous!"
