Chapter 312 Jingnan Palace
Not long after the Xin Dynasty was established, Pei Yu, a king of a different surname, still held great weight, especially since he held military power. He must have been a thorn in the eyes of many people.
She doesn't have the time to let those people treat her like a monkey, so it's better not to show up in Prince Jingnan's Mansion in a high-profile manner for the time being.
After hearing what she said, An San understood her intention and took her to the street closest to Prince Jingnan's Palace. They found an inn there, asked for two rooms, and then they washed up and rested.
I haven't had a good bath during this period of time because An San has been traveling with me. It's rare for me to have a good bath.
After dinner, it got dark. When the moon was high in the sky, the two of them headed for Prince Jingnan's Palace.
"Who?"
As soon as the two of them climbed over the wall of Prince Jingnan's Palace, several people dressed as guards and holding weapons surrounded them.
"it's me."
An San spoke up quickly to avoid hurting his own people by mistake.
"An San, why are you here? Didn't the master send you on a mission?"
An San was standing behind Shen Li. When he heard the question, he did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "This is Miss Shen. We came to the capital together."
Miss Shen?
Some people may not understand who Miss Shen is, but Pei Yu’s confidants all know that Miss Shen is the apple of his prince’s eye and must not be neglected.
"This way, young lady."
Thinking this way, he went to welcome people into the mansion. Although the master was not at home, he could know what was going on in the mansion.
Someone soon informed the housekeeper Fu Bo of the mansion about the commotion here, and he immediately ordered people to clean up the yard next to the prince's and let Shen Li live in it.
"Miss Shen, it's time to eat so late. The chef in the mansion is very skilled. Would you like to try it?"
"Miss, this is Uncle Fu, the housekeeper of the mansion, who has watched the prince grow up."
An San carefully introduced Shen Li to her.
"Uncle Fu, no need. I've already eaten at the inn."
Uncle Fu did not force it, and said kindly, "Okay, I have asked someone to prepare accommodation for the girl. You have worked hard all the way here, so have a good rest tonight."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Fu."
After he finished speaking, Uncle Fu retreated. Only Shen Li, An San, and Mo Bai, who was in charge of the mansion's security, were left in the room.
Pei Yu already knew about Shen Li's trip to Beijing, and he had written a letter in advance to tell them about it. In the letter, he also told them to take good care of Shen Li as they would themselves and not to neglect her.
"Has Ayu received any letter?"
I was in a hurry on the way and it took me a long time, so I didn't receive any letter. I don't know how Pei Yu is doing?
Mo Bai took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Li, "Miss Shen, this is the letter that the prince sent three days ago."
Shen Li took the letter and opened it, her expression relaxed. Pei Yu said in the letter that he had rescued her brother, who had only suffered some minor skin injuries, but they were not serious. The poison in his body had also been cured, so she didn't need to worry.
After Shen Li finished reading, Mo Bai handed over another letter, "Miss, this is the master's reply to your letter after reading the expedited letter you sent him last time."
An urgent letter, that is the map I got from Lu Jing. Thinking of this, I took the letter and started reading.
Pei Yu said that this map is very important, especially for the current Yan State, it is of great use. However, this thing was given by Shen Li, so it can be regarded as Pei Yu's credit.
However, Pei Yu is still fighting in the north, and it will take at least half a year to end. The new emperor has not yet decided who to send.
After all, this is a clear achievement, and it would be inappropriate to let anyone go except Pei Yu.
After reading it, Shen Li put it away. She was not sure whether Pei Yu's men were trustworthy or not. If Pei Yu wanted to say it, he would naturally notify them, so she decided not to show it to them.
"How many days does it take to get to the north from here?"
"It will take five days even if we ride at full speed."
"Oh," Shen Li nodded and looked at Mo Bai, "I'm a little tired. Where is the room?"
Mo Bai was a bit unruly, but when it came to Shen Li, he restrained himself and didn't dare show that expression, fearing that his master would punish him.
"I'll take the girl."
Originally, there was only one owner of this mansion, the prince. In addition, the prince did not like women. In the entire mansion, except for the kitchen, there were no other women. Now it seems that maids are still very necessary.
"By the way, I'm going to the north tomorrow."
"Girl, do you want to tell the prince about this?"
Mo Bai was a little surprised. Although he knew that Miss Shen had martial arts skills and had heard his companions mention it, he had never seen it in person because they were exaggerating.
Now when I heard that Shen Li was going to the north, I just thought she was fooling around, but I didn't dare say it out loud.
"When your letter arrives, I will arrive too."
Shen Li saw through his thoughts at a glance and didn't say much. Since he was not her person, it didn't matter what he thought. As long as he didn't make trouble in front of her, it would be fine.
I'd be embarrassed if she said this in front of me, but she wouldn't show any mercy.
An San quickly followed, "Girl, I'll go with you."
"Ah."
Shen Li knew that even if she didn't let An San follow, she would probably follow quietly, so it would be better to let him go with her.
An San and Mo Bai followed behind her. When Mo Bai saw An San's arrogant look, his brows slightly frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Soon, Shen Li arrived at the resting place. After entering the room, she could tell at a glance that it was carefully prepared. Every detail was exquisite yet not too eye-catching.
Well, she quite liked this room. Not long after, she blew out the candles and went to bed.
Going to the north was not a spur of the moment decision; I had already thought about it before coming here.
Although Pei Yu said that her brother was fine, she would not feel at ease unless she went to see him with her own eyes.
It’s just right, when I come back from the north, I can enjoy the scenery along the way. I have been here for so long, but I haven’t really seen the scenery of Yan State.
Also, I really want to go out to sea. This time, I want to ask A Yu what he plans to do with the things on the map.
At the same time, an ordinary carriage stopped on the outskirts of the capital, and a graceful and charming woman got off. She had a veil on her face that covered her cheeks, leaving only her dark eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.
Behind her, there were several women, all of them had outstanding looks and figures, and even their voices were unique.
The next morning, Shen Li had just finished washing up when she saw Uncle Fu coming over with a few servants carrying food.
"Miss Shen is awake, come and try these meals."
"it is good."
The breakfast was very rich. There were several kinds of buns alone, not to mention the other things. Shen Li was dumbfounded.
"Uncle Fu, this much is such a waste."
Uncle Fu said with a smile: "It's okay, young lady, eat as much as you can. There are many men in our house, and they can eat a little bit of this food."
