Chapter 279 Reunion after a long absence
When they arrived at Prince An's Mansion, Yinhua and Wenjie asked to see the Prince.
The guard had an impression of Yin Hua. He knew that she was Princess Jingrou's personal maid, and he also knew that the prince liked Princess Jingrou.
So one of them said to Yin Hua, "Our prince is not at home right now."
"Then do you know where the prince has gone? When will he be back?
"I don't know about this. After our prince cured the poison, he left the palace in a hurry and has not returned for two days."
Wen Jie stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, have you seen Princess Jingrou come to Prince An's Mansion?"
The guard shook his head and said, "I didn't see Lady Jingrou coming to your house."
Yin Hua and Wen Jie were completely panicked. Where was their young lady? And why did the prince leave Beijing after removing the poison? Did something happen to the young lady?
At this time, Li Yutong was about to go out with her maid, and met Wenjie and Yinhua at the door. She saw that they were here to inquire about Qianhuan.
Li Yutong immediately said gloatingly, "You are looking for County Lady Jingrou, don't you know that she has been captured by an assassin?"
"Impossible. The news has spread all over the capital that the prince has been cured of the poison. Our young lady must have safely obtained the antidote and returned to the capital. Who are you? What makes you say that our young lady was captured by an assassin?"
Li Yutong did not answer, but the maid beside her looked proud and answered, "Our lady is the childhood sweetheart of the prince, and is also the princess consort bestowed by His Majesty to the prince, and the future mistress of Prince An's mansion."
Yin Hua realized that the woman in front of her was the one who was betrothed to the prince, and she immediately felt dissatisfied with everything about Li Yutong.
Yin Hua looked at Li Yutong with disdain, and said in his heart: I'm not as tall as her lady, my face is not as pretty as her lady, and my figure is not as good as her lady, what's so great about it.
Li Yutong was immediately furious when she saw that a maid dared to look at her with a slightly contemptuous look.
She deliberately added fuel to the fire and provoked them, "I'm afraid your young lady won't be able to come back, so you should prepare for her funeral as soon as possible."
Yin Hua was a little panicked, but she still pretended to be calm and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our young lady is blessed by heaven and will definitely come back."
At this time, Wen Jie smiled and said to Yin Hua, "Yin Hua, Senior Brother left the house immediately after removing the poison. I think Senior Brother must have gone to look for Sister. It seems that the person Senior Brother cares about most is Sister. Some people may not be able to become the Crown Prince's Consort as they wish."
Yin Hua also said with a smug look on her face, "Well, young master, your analysis is correct. I know that the young lady is the one favored by the prince the most."
Li Yutong was so angry that her face turned red, but she had no way to refute it, because the prince did go to look for Qianhuan, and this was what made her most angry.
Seeing that this woman did not refute him and looked angry, Wenjie was not confused. He thought that he must have guessed it right. His senior brother must have gone to look for his sister. Now he felt relieved.
So Wenjie and Yinhua swaggered out of Prince An's Mansion under Li Yutong's murderous eyes.
On the way back, Yin Hua was so anxious that she almost cried, "Young Master, what should we do now? The young lady has been captured by an assassin. Should we find someone to rescue her?"
Wenjie comforted her, "Yinhua, don't worry. Senior brother must have brought people to look for sister. Senior brother is very skilled in martial arts, he will definitely be able to rescue sister. We don't have anyone else, so instead of running around like a headless fly, it's better to stay at home and wait for sister to come back."
Yin Hua asked in confusion, "Young Master, how can you be sure that the prince went to rescue the young lady? If he didn't go, wouldn't the young lady be in danger?"
"If my senior brother hadn't gone to save my sister, the young lady wouldn't have looked so ferocious just now."
Yin Hua thought about it and immediately understood.
She gave Wenjie a thumbs up and praised him, "Young Master, you are really amazing. You can actually guess it like this. If I were half as smart as you, I would be satisfied."
So Yinhua felt a little more relieved, and the two of them went home and waited quietly for news from the young lady.
Qian Bolin originally wanted to prepare a carriage for Qianhuan to ride in, but Qianhuan told Qian Bolin that she would ride a horse like them, so that they could return to Beijing faster.
Qian Bolin then remembered that at the last Five-Nation Cultural Exchange Conference, Qianhuan had a horse race with the Canglang people. He had always thought of her as a weak little girl, but in fact, she was very powerful.
Look, the few of them have been traveling all night long, and Qianhuan can not only keep up with their pace, but also never complain about being tired. Qian Bolin can't help but look at this little girl with admiration again.
We were on the road until midnight when we saw a group of people coming towards us. From the sound of horse hooves we knew that they had more people.
Qian Bolin said to everyone, "The other side has more people and horses than us, and the road is too narrow, so let's stop and make way for the other side to pass first."
So several people stopped their horses, and Qian Bolin still stood beside Qianhuan very carefully.
The other party was also in a hurry, and in the darkness, neither side paid close attention to each other.
Just as the two groups were about to pass each other, a cry filled with surprise and affection suddenly pierced the night sky.
"Qianhua..."
When Qianhuan heard a familiar voice calling her, she turned around excitedly to look at the other party's men.
Unfortunately, it was too dark, and Qianhua didn't have the inner strength to see at night like other people, so she responded uncertainly, "Zi Yu, is that you?"
"Qianhuan, it's me. I'm here to take you home."
The prince jumped off the horse and immediately ran to Qianhuan. He picked her up from the horse and held her tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Qianhuan also hugged the prince tightly back. At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world.
Eleven was very happy to see that Miss Qianhuan was fine. He finally felt better. Otherwise, he would have blamed himself all the time, thinking that it was his failure to protect Miss Qianhuan that harmed her.
Chi Ying and Shiyi felt the same way. If something happened to Miss Qianhuan, he would blame himself, his master would be sad, and Yinhua would definitely hate him for not protecting her young lady. Chi Ying didn't know why he suddenly cared about Yinhua's thoughts. In short, Qianhuan was fine, and he was really happy.
Qian Bolin and the others also stayed aside silently. They tacitly did not say anything to interrupt the reunited young couple after a long separation.
Only Wang Kai had a sinister look on his face. He promised Yutong that he would not let this woman return to Beijing safely, but in the end the prince still found her. He had no chance to take action against this woman from now on, and he was afraid that Yutong would be unhappy.
After hugging for a while, the two finally let go.
Qianhuan looked at the prince with concern and said, "Zi Yu, your poison should have been cured. Are you sure it's all cured? I'm so happy to see that you're okay."
"Well, don't worry, it has been completely removed, there is no remaining poison. Qianhuan, don't be so stupid in the future, and don't take risks alone again. If anything happens to you, I will be very sad."
Qianhuan nodded obediently in his arms, "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I will protect myself for you."
At this time, Qian Bolin also dismounted and walked over, "Meet the prince."
When the prince saw Qian Bolin, he immediately realized that the person who saved Qianhuan was Commander Qian.
He said to Qian Bolin, "Commander Qian, thank you for saving Qianhuan this time. This prince owes you a favor."
"You are welcome, my Lord. I just happened to see Miss Qianhuan in trouble, so I saved her."
Even though Qian Bolin saved Qianhuan, the prince felt unhappy when he saw that Qianhuan, a little girl, had stayed with Qian Bolin for two days and was now traveling with him at night. He also just saw Qian Bolin guarding Qianhuan in a protective manner.
He said to Qian Bolin expressionlessly, "Thank you, Commander Qian, for taking care of my woman along the way. Since I have already picked up Qianhuan, I will escort her back. If Commander Qian is in a hurry, you can return to the capital first."
Qian Bolin also noticed that the prince was a little jealous, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, then Qian will return to Beijing first."
Qianhuan didn't see the prince's mood, she even stepped forward to persuade him to stay, "Commander Qian, since we are all going back to the capital, why don't you come with us, so that you can have a companion to look after each other on the way."
Qian Bolin immediately shook his head and refused, "No, no, Qian is used to being alone, we will leave first."
After saying that, Qian Bolin and his subordinates mounted their horses and rode away.
