C208 I Can't Go Back Here
As for the Emperor, Lee Wanning, she didn't want to bring him along. If anything were to happen to him, he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking about this, Su Ann had come to report that someone from Xiliang had already come. However, because Lee Wanning had her people set up some defenses around the area, the people from Xiliang seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
When Princess Changle said that Xiliang's army would be at Yingjia's side, Lee Wanning had agreed, but she was still cautious. After all, if Princess Changle wanted to set him up and attack him when the city gates were wide open, wouldn't he be like a lamb in a tiger's den?
Therefore, Lee Wanning had already told Princess Changle from the beginning that she could come in, but she needed to be on her guard.
Princess Changle must have told those people. Otherwise, it would not just be this little bit of dissatisfaction.
Lee Wanning thought that the distance between Yanguang County and that place shouldn't be too far. If the matter of Yanguang County were to go smoothly, she could take a look along the way, since Lee Wanning believed Princess Changle. She said that a strong army must be very powerful, and she wanted to see what it looked like!
Originally, she wanted Soong Yun to accompany her there, but Zhou Qu didn't agree. Lee Wanning knew that he was worried that if something really happened, Soong Yun would treat her like how he treated himself, and if it was Zhou Qu, then Lee Wanning would be a lot more at ease. Therefore, she didn't say anything.
The people they brought were all personal guards trained by Zhou Qu himself, and they were all reliable. Lee Wanning had also given the emperor to the people she trusted as long as she went successfully, this entire Yingjia Nation could be considered as settled.
Lee Wanning's eyes looked outside the curtain. She didn't know why, but the few years she had spent here made her feel as if she had lived a lifetime.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, a voice came from the other side. "Niangniang, with this Capital City, are we going to take the official road or the small path?"
Lee Wanning's eyes looked at the map and said, "I think it's better to take the small path. After all, I can still be at ease around the Capital City. We'll only be on the official road after we're far away from here, and …"
As Lee Wanning spoke, she paused for a moment before saying, "Don't call me Niangniang. Just call me Madam." "Yes."
Lee Wanning was finally able to relax after hearing the answer. She looked out of the window, feeling a little tired. She closed her eyes and started to sleep.
Zhou Qu looked around vigilantly.
They didn't bring many people with them because they would attract more attention if there were more people. A hundred people was more than enough.
Just as Zhou Qu was thinking this, a voice came from the front, "General, there's an inn ahead. It's already past noon, should we rest?"
Zhou Qu looked around and saw a scorching sun high above his head. He must be tired, so he nodded in agreement.
The carriage was quiet. Lee Wanning didn't bring any palace maids or eunuchs, but Zhou Qu went in alone. When he opened the door, he saw Lee Wanning sleeping with her eyes closed.
Zhou Qu's expression changed slightly. Then, he slowly walked forward.
He hadn't looked at her this closely in a long time.
Previously, because of their status, even if the two of them were to stand like this, he could only look at her from afar.
Her eyes were closed now, her long lashes covering them.
Previously, he only felt that she was different from many other girls in the world. She was smart and kind, but when she came into contact with something, she would never give in.
At the beginning, when she said she wanted to help the Emperor settle down before he was a year old, Zhou Qu already knew that the road was long and dangerous. He originally wanted to snatch the mountain for his parents to hate, but when he saw her expression at that time, he felt that nothing was important anymore.
As long as she could be fine, that was enough.
Zhou Qu thought like this and felt that his hand was already extended out. When he was about to touch her cheek, the person in front of him suddenly cleared his throat and woke up.
Their eyes met and they were both stunned. In the end, it was Zhou Qu who reacted first and said, "There's an inn ahead, are you tired? Go and rest! "
Lee Wanning nodded and got off the carriage herself.
The entire inn was booked up. Lee Wanning felt very tired, so after eating, she went straight to one of the rooms to rest. Zhou Qu arranged for the guards to take turns and slept in the room.
His room was right beside Lee Wanning's, and it was quiet all around him.
Zhou Qu closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
When Lee Wanning was sleeping soundly, she seemed to hear someone crying. Her brows knitted, and just as she wanted to open her eyes, she found that her body seemed to be pressed down by something, making her unable to move.
The more she tried to struggle free, the more she was unable to move. She looked at the scene before her and her entire body became stiff.
In front of him, there was something he was familiar with … Home.
That was her home in modern times.
At this moment, the entire house was covered in white. His parents were kneeling on the ground and crying non-stop.
Lee Wanning suddenly had an idea: She was dead.
In modern times, if she died, did that mean … She can't go back?
Cold sweat broke out all over Lee Wanning's body. At that moment, a voice called out from the front, "Aa Ning!"
Hearing this voice, Lee Wanning suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Qu standing in front of her, looking at her with a worried expression.
It took Lee Wanning a long time to react. This place wasn't the 21st century, and wasn't modern either, but rather in Yingjia, a completely foreign place. Her name was Lee Wanning, and she came from here … Majesty.
Lee Wanning was thinking about everything, but Zhou Qu's face was full of worry. He said, "Aa Ning, are you alright?"
Lee Wanning finally reacted and got up from the bed. "It's okay. Can I get it now?"
Zhou Qu nodded and said, "Why don't you rest a bit more? "I'm looking at you …"
Before Zhou Qu could finish his words, Lee Wanning shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Time is of the essence, let's go!"
The news of Prince Regent being killed by Lee Wanning soon spread to Princess Changle's ears. At that time, she was drawing in her room. That red Plum Blossom, after describing the whole morning, was destroyed the moment she heard the news.
After pausing for a moment, she suddenly started laughing and said, "I really underestimated this Lee Wanning from before."
"But princess, Prince Regent still has many soldiers and horses in the Yanguang County. If he were to hear this news, he would directly rebel …"
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "Lee Wanning already knew about this earlier, so she must have thought about it before killing Prince Regent. Princess Changle shook her head and said," Lee Wanning already knew about this, and must have thought about it before killing Prince Regent.
"Princess is wise." Aa Tia, who was at the front, immediately said, "I heard that Empress Dowager Lee has already led some people to personally go to Yanguang County to pacify the warriors."
Princess Changle smiled and nodded. "That's true."
"But isn't Empress Dowager Lee afraid of being killed there?" The servant girl immediately said.
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "But if she doesn't go, people in Yanguang County will definitely know that their master has been killed. Since that's the case, it's fine for her to make the first move."
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood what was going on. At this moment, a report was sent from the front, "Princess, Prince is back."
Princess Changle put down her brush and walked up to Shangguan Jinghua.
He pulled her back with a look that made Princess Changle smile. "What did the imperial physician say?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Jinghua curled his lips and said, "Forget it, those imperial physicians said there's nothing they can do, so it shouldn't be a serious matter. That's good. "
Princess Changle paused for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Prince, don't you want to know about your previous memories?"
"Isn't it the same now?" Shangguan Jinghua looked at her with eyes filled with love and affection. He said, "It's good that you're here now."
Princess Changle looked at Shangguan Jinghua for a long time before she chuckled softly, "Prince really forced me into a corner."
Shangguan Jinghua did not say anything else. His affectionate look made it seem as if what he had said was true.
However, what Princess Changle knew was not true.
He wanted to kill himself, and that was true.
Lee Wanning ran all the way. She still had that dream at noon. Lee Wanning's mind was in a mess. The people outside also lowered their heads and hurried on their way.
From Capital City to Yanguang County, it was a three day journey. Zhou Qu had to plan out all of the routes and ensure his safety, so if he were to drag this on, it would take another two days.
Lee Wanning looked out of the window and said, "Time is not short either. If there's an inn ahead of us, let's stop and rest first!"
Zhou Qu nodded and then saw a village in front of him.
