Chapter 435: Send Off

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After days of rushing work, the embroiderers had already finished making all seven big pillows.

Yu Niaoniao chose a young man with fast legs from the many servants and handed him the pillow and the list of people who had ordered it.

“Chu, help me give these pillows to the people on the list. Remember, change into something inconspicuous before you go out. If anyone asks you about the origin of the pillow, you would say that you didn’t know.”

“Try to keep a low profile. Don’t let anyone know that you’re from the Langjun

Imperial Palace.”

The servant named Ah Chu nodded in agreement. “I’ll remember.”

He went to change first, then went to a nearby carriage dealership to rent a carriage.

The carriages in the Langjun Imperial Palace all had emblems, which were dead giveaways.

Ah Chu carried the bolsters into a carriage and delivered them according to the list. In a day, he had almost run through the entire Imperial Capital.

It was not until the sun set that he returned to the Langjun Imperial Palace to report to the Princess.

“I’ve sent all the pillows. Here’re their signatures.”

Chu handed over a stack of signing slips with both hands.

Yu Niaoniao took the receipt and roughly glanced at it. After confirming that there was no problem, she placed it aside. “It’s been hard on you today. This is your reward.”

She handed over a heavy silver ingot.

Ah Chu was naturally overjoyed to receive the reward and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow.

“Thank you for your reward, Princess Consort.” Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t tell anyone about today.”

“Yes!”

When Wei Liao returned home, he heard that someone had sent a big thing over. He opened the packaging and found that it was the princess and the little mute.

He ignored the strange gazes of the servants and hugged the big pillow for a long time.

When he went to bed at night, Wei Liao was still reluctant to let go of the pillow.

He lay on the bed with a pillow in his arms, reluctant to part with it.

Tomorrow, he would set off for Liangzhou. He would not be able to touch his precious pillow for a long time. If only this pillow could be smaller so that he could take it on a long trip.

But he quickly dismissed the thought. There were so many bad people outside. What if someone coveted his pillow and stole it?

It was safer to leave it at home.

Wei Liao fell asleep unknowingly as his thoughts ran wild.

The next day, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan woke up at dawn.

The two of them quickly washed up and ate breakfast before preparing to set off.

All the luggage had been packed into the carriage yesterday, and the accompanying Eagle Guards were already ready to leave.

This time, Meng Xizhou was left in the Imperial Capital, while Yan Nanguan and Lo Pingsha were added to the entourage.

In order to take care of Yu Niaoniao, Granny Xiu Yan especially stuffed the two of them into the convoy.

Granny Xiu Yan reluctantly sent Duke Lang and the Princess Consort to the entrance.

“You must be careful along the way. Remember to wear more clothes when it’s cold. There’s a lot of food prepared in the carriage. Eat when you’re hungry. If you encounter any problems, get someone to send a message back. You must take good care of yourself.”

Yu Niaoniao comforted her. “Don’t worry. This isn’t the first time we’ve traveled far. We can take care of ourselves. You too. You have to take care of your health and not work too hard.”

With that, she stretched out her arms and walked over to hug Granny Xiu Yan.

“Nanny, take care.”

This sudden closeness made Granny Xiuya’s heart soften.

At this moment, she could clearly feel that the County Princess did not treat her as a servant but as family.

Granny Xiu Yan held back her tears and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Princess Consort.”

She exhorted Chen Feng and Ye Yu, “You must serve the Princess Consort well.

If there’s any danger, you have to shield her. Don’t let her suffer any injuries.”

Chun Feng and Ye Yu nodded in unison. “We’ll remember.”

It was getting late. They could not delay any longer. Yu Niaoniao bade farewell to Granny Xiu Yan and boarded the carriage with Chun Feng and Ye Yu.

Xiao Juan mounted his horse and gave the order to set off.

Granny Xiu Yan stood on the steps and watched the team leave reluctantly.

When the convoy approached the west city gate, they realized that there was not a single ordinary citizen near the west city gate. The entire street had been cleaned up.

Yu Niaoniao sensed that the carriage had stopped and immediately stuck her head out the window to look forward.

She saw a group of people standing in front of her. Among them were two familiar faces. They were the Seventh Prince, Shen Zhuo, and the Vice General of the Sky Wolf Guards, Wei Liao.

Yu Niaoniao was very surprised. Why were they here?

Xiao Juan dismounted and casually threw the reins to the Eagle Guards beside him.

He stepped forward and cupped his fists.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Shen Zhuo smiled and said gently, “Father values your trip to Liangzhou very much. Unfortunately, he’s sick in bed and can’t show his face, so he asked me to send you off.”

He looked at the carriage behind Xiao Juan and asked.

“Why don’t I see the Princess Consort?”

Xiao Juan lied without changing his expression. “She’s not feeling well and can’t be exposed to the wind. I hope Your Highness can forgive her.”

Shen Zhuo asked, “If she can’t see the wind, why is she sticking her head out of the carriage?”

Xiao Juan turned around and saw Yu Niaoniao leaning against the car window to look out.

The lie was broken.

He could only order someone to invite Yu Niaoniao over.

Yu Niaoniao bowed politely as if she had never seen the Seventh Prince before.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Shen Zhuo looked at her face that he had been thinking about day and night. There were a thousand things he wanted to say to her, but his rationality prevented him from saying them.

He had to restrain himself.

“It’s a long journey to Liangzhou. Princess Consort, you must take good care of yourself along the way.”

Although he did not do anything out of line, Xiao Juan’s expression became even colder.

Wei Liao’s gaze swept over the three of them, revealing a faint smile.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Thank you for your concern, Seventh Prince. With Duke

Lang around, I will definitely be well taken care of.”

Shen Zhuo’s heart was pierced.

But he couldn’t show it.

He got someone to bring wine and poured wine for Xiao Juan, Yu Niaoniao, and Wei Liao.

“Here’s to you. Have a safe trip and come back early.”

Yu Niaoniao held her wine glass in confusion.

Why did he include Wei Liao?

Was Wei Liao going to Liangzhou with them?

Wei Liao finished his wine and smiled when he saw Yu Niaoniao’s stunned expression.

“The emperor was worried that you would be in danger along the way, so he specially sent me along to protect you.”

Yu Niaoniao muttered, “As if I’ll believe you!”

Everyone in the Imperial Capital knew that the Sky Wolf Guards and the Eagle Guards did not get along.

Wei Liao targeted Xiao Juan everywhere.

Yet the emperor actually sent Wei Liao to protect Xiao Juan? That was ridiculous!

However, since Wei Liao dared to say that, it meant that the emperor had really ordered him to go to Liangzhou with him.

No matter how bold he was, he could not fake an imperial edict.

As for Wei Liao’s true goal, only he and the emperor knew.

Shen Zhuo placed the glass back on the tray and smiled. “It’s getting late. I won’t delay your precious time. Please set off.”

Yu Niaoniao turned around and returned to the carriage.

Xiao Juan and Wei Liao also got on their horses.

This time, Wei Liao also brought a group of people. The two groups gathered near the western city gate, and the entire group immediately became even larger..
