406 Entering the Capital Early
Was there a mistake? Why did they want a marriage alliance again? âDidnât we already have a marriage alliance previously?â
âPrincess, the person they want to marry has never been the emperor, but someone of the same age as the crown prince.â Baili said.
âThe requirements of the Black City Kingdom are really high. Donât tell me that this group of people is targeting Jiang Ying?â Ning Yue asked with a frown.
Baili shook his head and replied, âNo, the main target of the Black City Kingdom is still the Crown Prince. After all, Jiang Ying is a heir. Even in the future, he can only inherit the throne of Prince Jin. They wonât focus on the Heir.â
Ning Yue was even more puzzled. âIn that case, why are there rumors that Princess Dawn likes Jiang Ying?â
âIf she let it out herself and the people of the Black City Kingdom find out about this, Iâm afraid Princess Dawn will not have a good time either,â Baili said.
Ning Yue raised her eyebrows. What was this woman thinking? She kept feeling that this woman might not like Jiang Ying. There might be other agendas on her mind.
âBy the way, Iâve investigated something. Princess Dawn asked Prince Jiang Ying to tour the lake in five days,â Baili said.
Hearing this news, Ning Yueâs eyes widened. Jiang Ying actually wanted to swim in the lake with other women? Wasnât the lake frozen in winter? Why was he swimming in the lake? Ning Yue was very unhappy.
Seeing that his master had misunderstood, Baili hurriedly explained, âThe Heir didnât agree. It was Princess Dawn who spread the news.â
âI donât care anymore. I have to go over early,â Ning Yue said angrily.
With that, she ran off to pack her luggage, which she had not yet prepared.
After packing up, she set off.
She did not bring the children with her because she needed to travel. If she brought the two children along, it would slow the process down. Moreover, the two children might not be able to adapt to the hardships of traveling.
âGrandpa, Iâll go over first. When the time comes, you can enter the capital with Baili.â Ning Yue instructed Old Master Ning and stuffed the pills she had prepared into his hands.
âGrandpa, these medicinal bottles are all labeled. I wrote down the name of the medicine and the use of the medicine. If you encounter danger, you can sprinkle the medicinal powder on the enemy and take the opportunity to escape. These medicines are all for self-defense. I hope we donât encounter bad people,â Ning Yue said.
Old Master Ning accepted the medicine and said with a smile, âWeâll protect ourselves and take good care of Xiaobao and Xiaobei. Donât worry.â
After Ning Yue explained everything, she set off with Yun Duo. As she was delayed by something on the way, she arrived in the capital exactly five days later.
âMiss, I just went to ask. The Heir is by Willow Lake.â When Yun Duo said this, she was a little embarrassed.
Why had Jiang Ying agreed to Princess Dawnâs trip to the lake? She wondered how angry Ning Yue would be.
Yun Duo carefully observed Ning Yueâs expression. Unexpectedly, Ning Yue did not have any expression at all. She said to Yun Duo, âLetâs go home and take a look. I have to pack.â
âHuh?â Yun Duo couldnât react for a moment and looked at Ning Yue in a daze.
At this moment, as the mistress of the house, shouldnât Ning Yue go and declare her sovereignty? Why did she have to go home and pack?
âI said to go home and pack. I havenât been back in a long time. Grandpa and the others are coming to stay, so I have to pack,â Ning Yue said.
That was true, but Yun Duo felt strange.
âMiss, shouldnât we go to Willow Lake?â Yun asked.
âWhy should I go to Willow Lake? The weather is so cold. Do you want me to endure the cold wind?â Ning Yue asked Yun Duo.
Yun Duo frowned and explained, âBut the Heir and Princess Dawn are swimming in the lake.â
âDo I have to go over when theyâre swimming in the lake? What kind of logic is that?â Ning Yue asked Yun.
Yun Duo opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing how to refute Ning Yue. For the first time, she felt that her mouth was so stupid.
Seeing this, Ning Yue couldnât help but reach out and pat Yun Duoâs shoulder. She smiled and said, âAlright, letâs go back and tidy up the house first.â
This time, Yun Duo was even more puzzled. Why did she feel that Ning Yue did not care about other women and Jiang Ying swimming in the lake at all?
