Chapter 183: Chu Yu's Arrangements Before Leaving Beijing
"Master, wake up, it's time to drink medicine!"
Jixiang decocted the medicine early in the morning, because Su Youning had been asleep and didn't wake her up, seeing that a bowl of medicine had become half a bowl because it was heated several times, Jixiang had to call Su Youning softly.
Su Youning was woken up by the sound, and opened her eyes with her eyebrows twisted, her face full of sleepy eyes, obviously she didn't have a good rest last night.
She didn't get up in a hurry, she was still lying on her back, looking at the top of the tent in confusion, and only remembered in a trance that Chu Yu left Beijing last night.
And after the whole main courtyard was quiet, she had difficulty sleeping, and she did not fall asleep slowly until the end of the day.
Back at this moment, Su Youning's heart was inexplicably empty, she looked weak and unenergetic.
"Master, look at the black green under your eyes, did the wound hurt again last night?"
Ji Xiang looked at Su Youning with some distress, and reached out to help her up and sit on the edge of the bed.
Su Youning didn't speak, just shook her head slightly, the wound on her chest didn't seem to hurt, but only she knew that what made it difficult for her to sleep was the empty Yuwang Mansion.
"Slave look at you like this, you must have not slept well last night, His Royal Highness left Beijing last night and is no longer in the house at this moment, nothing will disturb you, you drink the medicine and sleep for a while."
Ji Xiang said as he brought the dried medicine.
Su Youning came to her senses, and the bitter smell of medicine entered the tip of her nose, she couldn't help frowning, and said softly.
"It's good to take medicine on the wound, this medicine is really bitter, don't drink it!"
Ji Xiang was a little helpless, gently stirred the medicinal juice with a spoon, and persuaded him.
"You are injured now, you can't be willful, the wound is difficult to heal in winter, but don't leave any disease behind!"
Su Youning sighed helplessly, knowing that she couldn't escape!
It's just that she didn't dare to pinch her nose and pour it down in one go, so she could only endure the bitter taste in her mouth and let Jixiang feed the medicine one bite at a time.
Ruyi came in with hot water, and after a simple freshening up for Su Youning, she was ready to help her lie down again.
Su Youning waved her hand weakly and smiled slightly.
"You don't have to lie down, I've been lying down for two days, so help me up and go out to breathe."
Ji Xiang Ruyi glanced at each other and hurriedly stopped.
"Master, it snowed heavily all night last night, and there is still ice under the snow in the yard, so you should rest in the wing!"
Su Youning, who had already taken the medicine, insisted on getting up.
Ji Xiang couldn't help it, so he had to dress her up, put on a cloak, and wear a hood.
The moment Su Youning, who was being supported, pushed open the side room, she looked at the heavy snow in the garden and was slightly distracted, she heard clearly last night that Chu Yu left from here.
"Master, master, what are you thinking?"
Auspicious called softly.
Su Youning returned to his senses and said quietly.
"Your Highness should go."
Jixiang glanced at Ruyi, a little surprised.
Just now I said that His Royal Highness was not in the mansion, why didn't my master seem to remember, the two nodded.
"Yes, I heard Steward Liu say that His Royal Highness left with the people in the house overnight."
The heavy snow had stopped at the moment, Su Youning stood under the corridor, the snow came into view, the cold north wind blew on her face, and let the cold wind dye the tip of her nose red.
Jixiang was still worried that Su Youning would catch a cold, so he couldn't help but persuade.
"It's really cold this day, the princess is still."
Before Ji Xiang finished speaking, a figure flew in front of Su Youning out of nowhere, interrupting the conversation between the master and servant.
Su Youning was instantly startled when she saw the person coming, and she couldn't believe it.
"White Tiger? You haven't set off yet? ”
Without waiting for the white tiger to reply, Su Youning seemed to think of something again, and his tone even rose a little.
"Your Highness is still in the mansion?"
The white tiger's face was full of depression, but he couldn't show any disrespect for Su Youning, he took a deep breath and bowed his hand respectfully.
"Back to the princess, Your Highness has left Beijing, and your subordinates are ordered to protect your safety."
Su Youning didn't react, but her eyes were full of loss that she couldn't hide.
Seeing that Su Youning didn't show a trace of happiness for him to stay, Bai Hu was also a little unhappy.
Originally, he was supposed to go to Huizhou with his master, but he didn't expect that when he set off last night, his master actually let him stay in Kyoto.
On the surface, he said that he should keep an eye on the situation in Kyoto, but how could the white tiger not know that this was to let him keep an eye on Su Youning's safety!
Su Youning, who was lost in her eyes, suddenly came back to her senses, she remembered that Chu Yu did not have many personal guards, Zelan was driven out of Kyoto for some reason, and now only the white tiger is there.
But he actually left the white tiger in Yuwang's mansion and stayed by her side, that
"Without you by your side, won't it be dangerous for Your Highness to go to Huizhou?"
Bai Hu listened to Su Youning's question, and looked helpless.
He was indeed worried that his master would keep him, in case there was an ambush in Huizhou, and there would be no one around him who had been with him for many years, even if there were more shadow guards and secret guards, it would be inconvenient to use them.
But he is just a guard, obeying his master's orders, and it is his duty to be loyal to his duties.
"There are other people around Your Highness, so the princess doesn't have to worry."
Although Bai Hu said this, Su Youning was still vaguely worried.
Just as she was about to ask some details about Chu Yu's departure from Beijing, Steward Liu walked into the main courtyard with a group of guards.
Finding that Su Youning was under the corridor, the group immediately quickened their pace and walked in, and then Steward Liu led everyone to kneel on one knee.
Where had Su Youning seen such a scene, she subconsciously took a step back and wrinkled her eyebrows.
"Butler, what are you doing here?"
Steward Liu raised his head, looked at Su Youning respectfully, and said seriously.
"His Royal Highness has instructed that from now on, the princess will be in charge of the entire Yu Palace."
"The guards behind the old slave will also follow Lord White Tiger to protect your safety in Kyoto."
Su Youning looked at the group of kneeling people in the courtyard in disbelief and muttered.
"Your Highness."
Steward Liu gave a look, and the guards behind him spoke in unison.
"You will swear to protect the princess to the death."
Su Youning's two hands hanging down from her cloak gradually tightened, and Chu Yu's appearance appeared in her mind again, and she looked sideways at the white tiger.
The white tiger stood straight with his sword on his face, with an expected expression on his face, in fact, his master did not say to him that he wanted to protect Su Youning, but the situation in the courtyard was already obvious at the moment.
His master kept him in Kyoto, obviously not only asked him to keep an eye on the situation in Kyoto, but the housekeeper's words confirmed his conjecture, and protecting Princess Yu Su Youning was his primary duty in Kyoto.
Steward Liu didn't give Su Youning a chance to be surprised, and continued to talk about Chu Yu's explanation before leaving.
"Princess, Your Royal Highness still has an explanation, during the time he went to Huizhou, if you want to go back to Sufu and bring a guard."
"If you have any other plans, please go to His Highness's study, and His Highness has left a letter in the brocade box you sent him, and you will know everything after reading it."
Su Youning bowed slightly, and the tails of her eyes were red, I don't know if it was because of Steward Liu's words or because of the damn north wind.
Chu Yu, who left Kyoto, was already far away from Kyoto dozens of miles away at this moment.
Starting from Yuwang's Mansion, it was snowing all the way, and even staying in the carriage was terrifyingly cold.
Chu Yu's men and horses traveled from midnight to noon before reaching Qingzhou, thirty miles away from Kyoto.
"Master, the front is Qingzhou."
Outside the carriage, a respectful voice rang out.
Chu Yu, who was originally sitting on the soft couch of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, slowly opened his eyes, and his slender fingers lifted the small curtain of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, there was snow white as far as the eye could see.
Chu Yu commanded coldly.
"Zelan, pass the order, everyone will go to Qingzhou City, rest for half a day, and set off early tomorrow morning."
