Chapter 214 Second Update
"Mother, this is something that my brother's people brought back at the risk of their lives, the more this thing stays in our hands, the more time it takes risk, only if it is delivered to the prince as soon as possible, we will save the day."
Uncle Li immediately nodded, Miss was really right, this soldier was so seriously injured, he was bound to be chased and killed on the road, which shows that someone wants to grab something, so this thing is in their hands, wouldn't it put the entire Jiumu Mansion in danger.
"Then let Uncle Li take someone to send it over, won't it?" Mrs. Xia still didn't worry about her daughter, and it was so dangerous.
Xia Zhiqian immediately grabbed her mother's hand and comforted.
"Mother, now we only have to gamble, maybe this thing is still related to the safety of my brother in Northern Xinjiang, my daughter promises that when I arrive at the prince's mansion, I will beg the prince to send someone back to each other, you can rest assured."
When Mrs. Xia heard her son's name, she was a little dazed, her son traveled thousands of miles to let people bring things back, and he also held his own token, which showed that things were very important.
"Mother, don't worry, I asked Uncle Li to arrange a few more carriages, each of which will go in a different direction, so that the possibility of being in danger will be much less."
Uncle Li nodded immediately.
"Miss, this method works, there are three or four roads from here to the Prince's Mansion, so I will arrange four cars and set off together."
Xia Zhiqian nodded immediately, Uncle Li immediately went to order the carriage, and a few little guys were woken up in the middle of the night, and there was no nonsense, so they directly put the car on the side door and waited.
Xia Zhiqian put on a black cloak, covering her entire face, and at the same time, there were several maids, also wearing the same cloak, and went out together, Xia Zhiqian got into the car, and the carriage immediately went in the direction of the prince's mansion.
Xia Zhiqian tightly pulled the bamboo tube in her hand, although she didn't know what it was, but it could also be an opportunity for her, Xia Zhiqian knew that there were some things she could fight for by herself.
Xia Zhiqian's heart beat nervously with the bumpy carriage, and the bamboo tube in her hand was tightly held in her hand, and even her posture did not change until the carriage stopped, and the old butler quietly lifted the corner of the carriage and cautiously looked around.
"Miss, it's here."
Xia Zhiqian recovered from her nervousness, almost forgetting to get out of the car, and when she came out of the carriage and saw the magnificent gate of the Prince's Mansion, she realized in a trance that she was really standing in front of the Prince's Mansion, standing here openly.
Xia Zhiqian looked at Uncle Li, the door of the prince's mansion was closed, even if there was a watchman, he was afraid that he had already fallen asleep.
Uncle Li personally went to knock on the door, and the little guy who followed parked the car in the corner next to the prince's mansion and followed, the silent atmosphere was tense, and even the little guy looked around vigilantly.
"Knock knock—" The sound of the copper crashing was very harsh in the night.
However, to everyone's surprise, before the knock on the door fell, the door had already opened, and the guard who opened the door looked solemnly at the three people outside the door.
"This lord, the little girl is Xia Zhiqian of the Jiumu family, and tonight I suddenly got a secret letter from the little female brother from Northern Xinjiang, indicating that I would personally hand it over to His Highness." Xia Zhiqian forcibly hid her nervousness, and her tone was still jerky and hurried.
When the guard heard this, he didn't move, Xia Zhiqian was slightly stunned, and immediately took out something from his sleeve and handed it over, it was the token.
The guards turned out to be tokens, and then looked at Xia Zhiqian.
"Three of them come in first." Xia Zhiqian finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed the guards into the gate.
As the door closed, Xia Zhiqian realized that the corridor in front of her was brightly lit, reflecting the rippling lake on this side.
Xia Zhiqian was slightly stunned, it's so late, has the prince's mansion always been so brightly lit? But the next moment, Xia Zhiqian denied this speculation, and several guards had already walked out of the corridor.
The two guards at the head were tall and clear, dressed in military uniforms, and walked vigorously but like leopards, but Xia Zhiqian lowered her head in panic.
The guard passed by Xia Zhiqian, but glanced at Xia Zhiqian, but there was still something important, so he didn't have time to ask, so he passed by.
"Lord Qiyu." Xia Zhiqian only heard the interjection passing, and a guard called the adult.
This is obviously something important, and at this time, the prince's mansion also sent guards out.
The footsteps of the person leading the way did not stop, but he did not walk towards the corridor, but directly led Xia Zhiqian and Uncle Li into a summer hall on the right.
"Miss Xia, please wait here for a while, and let me report to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"There's Lord Lao." The man who opened the door was not polite, and then turned and left, in this summer hall, there were only two lights, apparently lit in a hurry, and the candle oil beside the wick had not yet melted.
Xia Zhiqian didn't sit down, and Uncle Li didn't dare to let his own young lady sit down, after all, this is the place of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he felt sorry for his young lady's bumpy road, he didn't rest for a moment, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
After a while, Xia Zhiqian heard the footsteps of the man returning.
"Miss Xia, please come with me."
Xia Zhiqian immediately handed over the cloak in her hand to the little maid, and walked with Uncle Li with the guards, passing through the corridor just now, another pair of guards passed by, and this time she didn't even look at Xia Zhiqian and the two of them.
Xia Zhiqian intuitively felt that something had happened tonight, although she didn't know if it was related to the secret letter in her hand at the moment, but she couldn't help but grab the secret letter in her hand.
"Miss Xia, please." The guard glanced at Uncle Li, who was about to follow, but he didn't stop him. Another guard was already standing in the doorway waiting for them.
Xia Zhiqian followed the guard to the distance of another house, and the guard at the door was obviously dressed differently from the guard who showed her the way, but it was somewhat similar to the one Qiyu Master they had met when they just entered the door.
"Your Excellency, the people have already brought it."
Xia Zhiqian immediately felt that there were eyes on her body, trying to be as calm as possible, but in the hurried glance just now, this Lord was even more handsome and timeless, Xia Zhiqian guessed the identity of these two people, and was the most powerful subordinate of His Royal Highness the Prince?
It should be, otherwise there would be no such temperament, this is the temperament that has been accumulated over time with His Royal Highness the Prince, such as polished jade.
"Miss Xia, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside, and there are a few adults discussing matters with His Highness, you go in with me, and you can only reply to whatever Your Highness asks." He commanded while opening the curtain.
Xia Zhiqian was in a trance, only heard a few words clearly, and hurriedly nodded, the voice in her ears had already come, and with her entering, it returned to a calm.
As soon as Xia Zhiqian raised her head, she immediately realized that it was unruly for her to raise her head, but as soon as she raised her hand, she saw two faces, two with the same temperament, such as jade, and different temperaments, for a while, Xia Zhiqian could not judge that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zheng Songyuan.
"The little girl knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince." Xia Zhiqian immediately bowed, slightly deviated from some angles, and the direction of kneeling cleverly concealed the embarrassment that she didn't know His Royal Highness the Prince.
