Chapter 279： Reasons to return to Changju City

Chapter 279 The reason for returning to Changzhou City

Ruan Youqing didn't stop when he realized someone was following him.

Every time she sneaks out of the house, she is used to wearing a mask.

So, at this time, she was not worried about being recognized.

Ruan Youqing, who pretended not to notice anything, walked for a while, then suddenly turned around and followed the person behind him to attack him.

After the opponent was stunned for a moment, he didn't go up to meet him, but waved his sleeves and threw something out.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Youqing's vision was blocked by a white mist.

Worried that the white mist was poisonous, Ruan Youqing didn't recklessly continue walking forward, but took a few steps back quickly to avoid the white mist that was coming towards her.

Although she has been fed various drugs by her grandfather since she was a child, she is not afraid of drugs, but she is cautious and will choose to avoid when facing the unknown.

While retreating to the safe area, Ruan Youqing was always on guard against the opponent who would suddenly rush out to attack.

However, until the white mist dissipated, there was no movement on the other side of the white mist.

As if... the person who was following disappeared.

After the white mist dissipated completely and the field of vision widened, Ruan Youqing discovered that the other party had really disappeared.

Could it be... that person ran away?

Could it be... this white mist is just for the opponent to escape, not to prepare for an attack?

After Ruan Youqing stood there expressionlessly for a while, she found that there was nothing unusual about her surroundings, so she walked back a certain distance cautiously, trying to see if she could see any traces left by the other party.

However, she was about to return to Zhaxing, but she still found nothing.

As if everything that just happened was just an illusion.

But Beijing has been troubled recently, and Ruan Youqing will not relax easily.

After confirming again and again that no one was lurking in the dark, Ruan Youqing returned to the Ruan Mansion with a gloomy face.

It's just that in order to prevent being followed again, she took many detours before climbing over the wall from a remote corner of Ruan Mansion.

And just after she jumped off the wall, the secret whistle of the Ruan Mansion's patrol suddenly rushed over.

While Ruan Youqing was thinking quickly about how to explain, the man suddenly froze when he saw her wearing a mask, twisted his neck in a strange posture, and rushed towards a nearby tree.

When rushing over, he was still muttering to himself: "Hey, where is the thief running!"

Ruan Youqing, who was left alone without speaking, frowned complicatedly.

Logically speaking, the secret sentry of the Ruan Mansion would not choose a fool...

But soon, she reacted.

Ok…

Sure enough, it's no secret that she walks out of the house every now and then...

After returning to the room with an even more depressed mood, Shan, who had been dozing off, woke up immediately, and then rubbed her eyes to greet her.

"Miss, what did you say over there? Why are the generals and the others suddenly sent back to Changzhou City? They have clearly decided to stay in the capital forever, this sudden change... Even the servants feel a little uneasy. "

"You little girl, you worry more than I do." Ruan Youqing patted her head and continued, "This time...the emperor probably got distracted by someone. But...forget it...you go sleep."

「Miss, aren’t you going to sleep?」

"I'm going to bed too."

At this time, Ruan Youqing was already sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly loosening his clothes and preparing to lie down.

Seeing this, Fan quickly reached out to help her untie the ribbon tied with blue silk.

"By the way, fan, it's not peaceful these days, you tell other people in the mansion, you must be careful of all strangers when you leave the mansion."

Although the ones who disappeared recently were all women from brothels, but without finding out anything, the other party might suddenly change their minds and attack other people.

Therefore, it is inevitable to tell Faner and the others.

"Yes." Fan Er didn't ask anything, but agreed obediently out of habit.

Since her young lady ordered so, she just listened carefully.

It wasn't until Fan left that Ruan Youqing slowly closed his eyes.

But it was a long night and she couldn't fall asleep for a long time with so many things on her mind.

…

Because it was Yin time when she felt sleepy, when she woke up, it was already noon.

After Fan Er helped her wash and wash, Ruan Youqing went straight to the front hall.

「Where are grandfather and mother in the front hall?」

"Yes, young lady, they seem to be discussing something."

"Where's sister?"

"Missy is out."

"Going out?" Ruan Youqing frowned slightly, and then immediately ordered: "Send someone to find her, just tell me I have something important."

At this juncture, Ruan Youqing doesn't want any accidents to happen.

Even if she is a little bit desperate, she must not let anything irresistible happen because of laxity.

During the conversation, the master and servant had already reached the entrance of the front hall, looked at the closed door, Ruan Youqing's heart sank, and he raised his hand to knock gently.

The voice inside stopped abruptly, but soon, Ruan Chong's voice came out: "Didn't you say don't disturb?"

"Grandfather, it's me." Ruan Youqing calmed down and answered softly.

「Really? Then come in.」

After hearing that it was Ruan Youqing, Ruan Chong, who had been harsh just now, softened his tone instantly.

After pushing the door and entering, Ruan Youqing saw his grandfather and mother sitting and looking at her.

"Grandfather, mother, You Qing has something to tell you."

She couldn't fall asleep almost all night, all thinking about how to deal with Li Yi's sudden action this time.

After a brief discussion with her family, she made the decision after careful consideration.

Ruan Chong and Mu Fei looked indifferent, presumably the secret whistle last night had reported to them about her going out.

Although she was a little depressed, what made her feel relieved was that her grandfather and mother didn't ask her too much, and gave her a lot of freedom.

"Sit down and have something to drink. Just now, your mother specially asked the servants to cook some white fungus soup." Ruan Chong pointed with his big hand, and Ruan Youqing sat aside obediently, and picked up a small bowl of white fungus on the desk. The soup was drunk.

Ruan Youqing knew that if she didn't drink, the two of them were appointed to talk about the disadvantages of fasting for a long time.

Sure enough, after obediently drinking the white fungus soup, Ruan Chong nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's really reassuring. Well, you can say what you want to say."

Ruan Youqing didn't talk nonsense, and said very directly: "Grandfather, Youqing heard that the reason why father and elder brother were sent to Changzhou City this time is because of... Prince Li Yi?"

Ruan Chongmu Fei didn't have any surprises on his face at this time, and he must have known it already.

After sighing lightly, Ruan Chong said slowly:

"That's right, the prince said that the war in Changzhou City is unstable, and the people will face displacement at any time. He also said that in order for our Ruan family to stay in the capital with complete peace of mind in the future, he suggested that Ah Ye and the others send the Jie people away." Completely rush to the west of Mang Mountain to prevent future troubles.”

"Rush to the west of Mount Mang?" Ruan Youqing stood up in shock.

You know, from the time she remembered in her previous life, the Jie people had passed through Mount Mang and had been active in the Chegan River outside Changzhou City. The west of Mang Mountain is naturally their hometown.

It's just that... the emperor, who has always done things safely, has made up his mind to drive the Jie people back?
