Chapter 186: The Thank-You Gift She Wanted
Luo Ning looked at the backs of Xiao Zi and the others, shook his head, and put the letter in his hand into the green snake bracelet.
Naturally, it is impossible to return this letter to Xiao Zi, this thing is still very useful!
Early the next morning, the mighty envoy greeted the relatives and set off from the capital.
The teams of Wuling Kingdom, Jin'an Kingdom, Mengcheng Kingdom, and the Three Kingdoms separated in three directions at the intersection of a few miles from Beijing.
"Stop! Rest in place. ”
Wulingguo's team had only left the capital for only ten miles, and then stopped to rest.
In the woods beside the road, the sound of horses' hooves galloping came over.
"Watch out!" Lin Envoy gave an order to the guards.
Everyone put their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to fight.
"Lao Lin, don't be so nervous, this place is only more than ten miles away from the capital, even if someone wants to do it, they won't choose here." Li Kaiyu said lightly, and his eyes swept over the Daxing soldiers who came to marry.
"Yes, Great Prince." Lin Lao responded, but his expression was still vigilant.
The curtain of the other carriage behind was lifted, Wei Yalan poked her head out of it, glanced at Li Kaiyu who was sitting leisurely next to the tree, and snorted coldly, but her gaze looked extremely soft.
Li Kaiyu caught a glimpse of the opened curtain out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, the gentleness was indeed attractive and heartwarming.
But when he thought of the incident in the palace, if it weren't for the help of King An, then he would be the ninth prince of Mengcheng now, not only ruined his reputation, but also lost a mineral vein.
Thinking of this, Li Kaiyu's eyes became a little colder.
Wei Yalan looked at Li Kaiyu's cold color and wanted to close the curtains, but when she thought of Ye Wenyu's plan, she couldn't help it.
"Is this your Pavilion Master's plan?" Wei Yalan asked the maidservant beside her in a low voice.
This maid is the person who brought the ginseng soup to her that day, named Aoyagi, it was Wen Yu who stayed by Wei Yalan's side to wait for her, and she was also the one who monitored her.
"Doesn't Miss Wei think this plan is the best?" Qingliu directly ignored Wei Yalan's title of Ye Wenyu's "Pavilion Master", and said lightly: "When you firmly grasp Li Kaiyu in your hands and sit firmly in the back position of Wuling Kingdom, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”
Although Wei Yalan was unwilling, she could only follow this plan, otherwise just looking at Li Kaiyu's current attitude, she also knew that when she got out of the Daxing border, then her fate would be the same as what Ye Wenyu said, very miserable!
"Humph! Your pavilion master is really generous, and he can even give away his own woman! Wei Yalan snorted in displeasure, pulled the collar around her neck a little higher, blocking the traces of last night's happiness, and said, "What is your pavilion master's name?" Why do you even have to wear a mask to do things? ”
Aoyagi was disdainful in his heart, and he couldn't even figure out who their master was, so he dared to say that it was his woman, shameless!
"Miss Wei, it's better not to say some things and don't ask, if you let others listen, it will be bad for you." Aoyagi said lightly.
Wei Yalan frowned slightly,!
Here, Wei Yalan had just lowered the curtains, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and a woman who was embarrassed took the lead in the eyes of Li Kaiyu and others.
"Help!" The person who came shouted at them, staggered a few steps, but accidentally tripped and fell directly a few steps in front of Li Kaiyu, surrounded by the guards beside him.
"Prince Li, help!"
Li Kaiyu looked at her when he heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The woman in front of me with a bruised and purple face, swollen like a pig's head, is also too scary!
If it weren't for the sake of maintaining the persona, he would have kicked her out with one kick!
"Who are you, and why do you recognize this prince?"
"Slave Xiaozi, Miss Luo Ning's personal maidservant, today is on the order of my young lady to go out of the city to do business, I don't want to run into a thief halfway, and ask the eldest prince to help!" Xiao Zi trembled, and looked at Li Kaiyu pitifully.
But in my heart I was very angry.
She had already seen the undisguised disdain in Li Kaiyu's eyes.
Her face can be like this, it's not that after Huan'er sent her back yesterday, she beat her wildly, and said that the ointment sent by Miss couldn't be in vain!
Thinking of this, Xiao Zi clenched her fists tightly, when she returned to Daxing, she would definitely settle this account with Huan'er!
Behind him, the riders hurriedly grabbed the reins, wanting to step forward and look jealous.
Li Kaiyu pulled the corners of his mouth, he was really as his name suggested, purple and swollen.
"I can't imagine that there are such rampant thieves at the foot of the imperial city!" Li Kaiyu waved his hand, and a guard rushed towards the masked man on horseback.
The latter did not have the slightest intention of entanglement, and directly turned the horse's head and galloped away.
"Get up! The younger brother of this prince was helped by Miss Luo, and this prince sent someone to send you back to the city today, which can be regarded as a return of favor. Li Kaiyu said lightly. Then he summoned two guards.
"The eldest prince, the slave maid, the slave maid will not return to Beijing, the slave maid will ......" Xiao Zi bit her lip and stopped talking.
Li Kaiyu looked at Xiao Zi like that, and suddenly remembered what Luo Ning said, and looked at the place agreed with her, could it be that Xiao Zi said that he came to him?
"Stand down, all of you!" Li Kaiyu retreated from the surrounding guards before looking at Xiao Zi and said, "If you have something to say, say it." ”
Xiao Zi took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Li Kaiyu, "This is the letter that my young lady ordered you." ”
Li Kaiyu spread out his eyes and swept his eyes, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably.
That calendar Kaiyu said that he wanted to repay Luo Ning, she said that she was not in a hurry, and she would ask for a thank you gift on the day he left Daxing.
Unexpectedly, this thank you gift turned out to be for him to accept the ugly maid in front of him!
also said that she treated this Xiaozi like her own sister, and leaving this Xiaozi could make Wei Yalan feel uncomfortable.
The letter also mentioned some words on the side, and it was not until the end that Luo Ning tactfully reminded Li Kaiyu to be careful of Wei Yalan and Ye Wenyu.
It's just that for the words at the end of this letter, Li Kaiyu just frowned slightly and skimmed it.
"Your young lady said that you are going to Wuling Kingdom to find relatives?" Li Kaiyu said lightly: "In this case, then you will go with the prince's car, it is better than you being alone as a weak woman." ”
"Thank you, Great Prince!" Xiao Zi kowtowed gratefully.
"Great Prince, this is not appropriate, this is ......" Lin Lao hurriedly stopped on the side, he didn't know what was written on Luo Ning's letter, but such a decision was unreasonable!
"There's nothing wrong with it, along the way, she will be a personal servant for this prince." Li Kaiyu asked Xiao Zi lightly, "Are you willing?" ”
"The slave is willing, thank you to the eldest prince."
"Lin Lao, take her to the prince's car, and ask someone to change her clothes and freshen up."
"The Great Prince, this ......"
"How can this prince's personal handmaid be like Hanako?" Li Kaiyu glanced at Lin Lao, although the latter was unwilling, he still did as he was told.
In the carriage behind, Wei Yalan casually called a guard to come over for questioning, and immediately became angry when she knew that Li Kaiyu had accepted Xiaozi as a personal maid and allowed her to enter the carriage to freshen up.
This is a naked slap in the face of her, a quasi-princess!
"Miss Wei, anger can't solve things, and the master's plan can't be mistaken." Aoyagi reminded Wei Yalan lightly.
Wei Yalan listened to Qingliu's words with a hint of warning, and became even more angry, squinting at Qingliu, these, she will clean them up one by one in the future!
……
"Miss, Xiao Zi has been left by Li Kaiyu's side." Jian Fei whispered to Luo Ning: "The villain watched her being helped into Li Kaiyu's carriage. ”
"Well, good, thank you."
The masked man who "hunted down" Xiao Zi was Jian Fei and them in disguise, in order to make this matter seem more reasonable.
"Miss, do the Gao family in Wanfu Lane still need to keep an eye on it?" Jian Fei said with some hesitation: "During this time, I found that there are those subordinates in the Gao Mansion who have a connection with Zhuang Mu.
Zhuang Mu asked Xiaoxi to look for him over there, it should be just to divert his attention. ”
"Is the relationship between the master of the Gao family and the Wei Mansion clean?" Luo Ning asked in a flat tone.
"Judging from the information found so far, there is no special correspondence between the two families."
Luo Ning pursed her lips, could it really be that she was thinking too much?
