Huajing came back from the prison. It was noon the next day. She reported the news of Zhuge Qinghuan to Ning Lan. Ning Lan was silent for a long time.
Zhuge Qinghuan forgot her? Qinghuan lost his memory? Perhaps, for Qinghuan, amnesia is a blessing!
Forget her, he will be closer to happiness
Ning Lan looked cold and said very seriously, "Huajing, you have served the palace for many years. You must be the most cautious, not arrogant, calm and loyal to the palace. You have always adhered to your duty and won the heart of the palace... Today, there is something for you in the palace. Can you promise the palace to complete it smoothly?"
Huajing didn't know what Ning Lan said, so she respectfully replied, "everything is at the princess's command. The maidservant must try her best to work for the princess and complete what the princess ordered."
Ning Lan stood up from the chair next to the picture screen, picked up the box she prepared for Lengshuang from the stone table, handed it to Huajing and said, "take it in this box."
Huajing opened the box, looked confused and asked, "princess, is this?"
Ning Lan went to the porch window, turned his back to Huajing and said, "what the palace told you is... You will leave the great Khanate tonight with Prince Zhuge, protect Prince Zhuge and return to the great Qi State safely, and return him to the prime minister's residence."
Let her send Zhuge Qinghuan away from the great Khanate and back to the great Qi State? If she leaves, who will serve the princess?
Huajing looked worried and hesitated: "princess, can you only be a slave?"
Ning Lan turned and looked at the flower scene. Her eyes were as deep as ink and her words were clear: "well, there are many dangers along the way. Only you can make the palace relax. Now, just remember to leave the Great Khan country with Childe Zhuge. You can decide which way to take and how long to take."
Huajing looked down and said firmly, "I'll send you back safely."
"Good!"
Ning Lan added, "remember, from this moment on, your task is to escort Zhuge childe, and your master is yourself."
"I understand!" Hua Jing understood Ning Lan's meaning. She knew that the princess told her to leave without consulting anyone and anything along the way, as long as she escorted and protected childe Zhuge.
