Chapter 1601 Arrangements Before Departure
Chapter 1601 Arrangements Before Departure
When Taoist Xuanqing heard Yan Ruyu mention the word "rebirth", a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and the teacup in his hand fell over, wetting his cuffs.
"What...rebirth? I don't understand what the princess is talking about."
Yan Ruyu originally had an 80% guess, but now she is very sure.
"Xuanqing, you know what's going on, right? Don't speak in secret in front of others. If you are sincere, just tell me what you know."
"If you don't want to tell me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the events of this life have been changed by me. What you said is just the past. You are too calculating to use something that will never happen to gain benefits."
Taoist Xuanqing quickly explained: "Princess, you are wrong. Not everything will not happen. For example, Yu Qingyue and Li Baru, their stories did happen."
“Also, if the princess doesn’t believe in the Sima family’s affairs, she can wait for news to see if the entire family will be destroyed.”
"However," Taoist Xuanqing hesitated slightly.
"But what?" Yan Ruyu was nervous, but her expression did not change.
"However, their return journey does take longer than in the previous life..." He choked again when he said this.
Talking about "previous life" is tantamount to confessing oneself.
Yan Ruyu looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Okay, tell the truth. No need to hide it anymore."
Taoist Xuanqing cleared his throat and said, "Their return journey has been advanced."
"As for the reason, I don't know."
Yan Ruyu chuckled: "It's not that you don't know about their affairs, you just don't know much about the affairs of the court, including what I said before, why the court was unwilling to let the prince personally go to pick up the old prince's body, and how the Sixth Prince was doing in the court."
"Because even if you were to live your life again, these things are not your forte. There is no court affairs that you have not come into contact with in two lives. All you know is that some things are shocking events, but you just heard about them."
Taoist Xuanqing had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He had to admit that every word Yan Ruyu said was true.
indeed so.
"That's all for today's conversation," Yan Ruyu stood up. "If you still want to cooperate, think carefully about what happened when you go back. Write down everything you know, regardless of whether it has changed in this life or not."
Taoist Xuanqing's eyes lit up with hope again: "If I write everything down, then... "
"see your performance."
After Yan Ruyu finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
She had to leave quickly. The most urgent thing was to find Huo Changhe and tell him what had just happened about the Sima family.
The Sima family’s return to the court was the same as in their previous life, even if the time was different, would the dangers they encountered on the way be the same?
Yan Ruyu didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't gamble, on all the young and middle-aged forces of the Sima clan.
He hurried back to the palace and was about to enter when a fast horse came galloping towards him.
Jiang Paopao jumped off his horse, looking aggrieved: "Princess, the prince didn't keep his word and ran away again."
Before this, Jiang Paopao was arranged by Huo Changhe to work for Xiang Guang. The place was spacious and he and Xiang Guang were familiar with each other, so he could do whatever he wanted.
He was happy there too, patrolling several times a day to ensure that metallurgical matters were carried out safely and smoothly.
But now the metallurgical work has stopped, and Huo Changhe only brought Xiang Guang and others with him, leaving him to guard the manor.
Afraid that he would not agree, they told him to go on patrol and talk about it after he came back. However, when he came back from patrol, Huo Changhe had already left.
Yan Ruyu walked in and said, "The prince is going to do something important, but the manor's affairs are also important, so he left you to guard it. I have to leave someone of my own to feel at ease."
"However, since you are here, it is just in time. Come with me to find the prince."
Yan Ruyu was still worrying about who to take with her. Since the silver ingot was not there, Jin Ding had to be at home. Song Ping was also indispensable, as he had to rely on her for daily affairs.
Currently, the only reliable person who can help is Jiang Paopao.
Yan Ruyu walked while thinking: "Go pack your things and wait for me here in an hour."
Jiang Paopao said happily: "Yes."
Yan Ruyu went to find the eldest lady first. She had to let the eldest lady know since she was leaving the house and didn’t know when she would be back.
When the eldest lady heard that the Sima family was in danger, she was reluctant but did not say a word.
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful and bring enough things you need. I'll prepare some dry food for you."
Yan Ruyu did not stop him: "Thank you, mother."
The eldest lady patted her hands distressedly and said, "Good child, you have worked hard. Go see Changhe and tell him the news. If he can come back, come back as soon as possible and let him do the work. Even if he can't come back right away, let him go on the dangerous mission."
"Okay, I understand, don't worry, mother."
"Then help me prepare the things, and I'll come get them later."
After bidding farewell to the eldest lady, Yan Ruyu went to find the abbot and quickly explained the situation.
Yan Ruyu did not hide from him the fact that Taoist Xuanqing was a reborn person.
The abbot's eyes widened. "Oh my god! This is really happening. Great Lord of Heaven and all the gods, I have encountered all kinds of bizarre things."
"No wonder that guy is so weird, saying he can predict the future and that we deserve to die."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "To make a long story short, I have to go find the prince immediately and tell him about the Sima family. Human life is at stake and we cannot be careless."
"I'll leave the matters here to you. Road repair is also an important matter. Can you do it yourself?"
The abbot suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy and the responsibility was huge.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Jin Ting to go with me at night. He's a taciturn person. I have some delicious food, he likes it, and he won't betray me."
Yan Ruyu thought about it and thought this was a good idea. Jin Ding was absolutely trustworthy and could guarantee the abbot's safety.
Yan Ruyu took out a few pounds of dried meat from the space: "This is for you, Jin Ding likes it."
The abbot put them away and gave her some necessary things, including some ropes, flashlights and the like.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Also, please take care of the affairs in the mansion."
The abbot said solemnly: "Don't worry, Ruyu, I will definitely protect the palace."
"Please tell Governor Cao that I won't be going there."
"OK, no problem."
After everything was arranged, Yan Ruyu left the yard and happened to meet Jin Ding who had returned.
"Did the leader of the secret guards send someone?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Jin Qing nodded.
"Three days."
"There will be news in three days?" Yan Ruyu thought, "Then when there is news, you keep it first. I have to go out and find the prince. I have something important to tell you."
"I'll leave the affairs of the mansion to you, and I'll also leave the safety of the abbot to you. You must listen to him."
Jin Ting's expression remained unchanged, but his brows slightly frowned.
Yan Ruyu quickly said, "This is also what the prince meant. Besides, the abbot has some dried meat."
Jin Ting's brows gradually relaxed and he nodded slowly.
A starling flew over and landed on a branch: "Oh my, that's awesome!"
Jin Ding glanced over, and Yan Ruyu quickly said, "I'll take it with me and take it out."
