I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

"Is Your Highness going out?" Mu Xueli came over with Xiang Ling and a lunch box.

"Yes!" Zhao Yuan said without raising his head, "This is the mission assigned by my father. I may be away for a longer time this time."

"Got it! I'll prepare it for you right away!"

"No need! I've already told Zhai Zizhuang what you need to bring. You can take care of the welcoming and seeing off guests at home!" Faced with Mu Xueli's tactfulness, Zhao Yuan felt that she seemed quite good, so he gave instructions.

"Okay!" Mu Xueli was stunned for a moment. She had been married for so long, but this was the first time she was asked to take over the affairs of the palace. She was a little excited and tried to control her expression. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's a long way to go. I'm worried about you leaving like this. How about this, you take Xiangling with you. I'll feel more at ease with her taking care of me."

I have to say that Mu Xueli is really considerate. Ah Yan's departure this time has nothing to do with her, and she feels a little guilty. When you are away from home, some places really need a woman to take care of things. She nodded and agreed.

Guard Li stood in front of Zhao Yuan, looking somewhat uneasy. He whispered, "I have already ordered people to search in four directions. No one in the capital has seen any trace of Master Lin."

"Go look for her again!" Zhao Yuan interrupted him and said, "There are only four city gates. I don't believe she could have grown wings and flown away without leaving any traces behind."

A woman who has always lived in a deep mansion and knows nothing about the outside world, she is so brave, where can she go? Old Thirteen is also unreliable, why can't he send someone to protect her along the way?

Mu Xueli listened to the conversation between the two and understood instantly. A bitter taste came over her heart. Although she had been recognized by Zhao Yuan, compared with the missing Lin Yan, she still had no weight in his heart. There was still a long way to go. Fortunately, she had made arrangements.

-----

Zhao Yuan and his entourage left the palace, boarded an inconspicuous-looking carriage, and headed straight out of the city, accompanied by eight guards.

There were two people following behind him. The seventh brother Zhao Lei sent them temporarily. He didn't want to do it, but he had no choice. The queen mother meant that Zhao Yuan couldn't take all the credit.

Zhao Yuan didn't care and nodded lightly.

Along the way, Xiangling was very well-behaved. Apart from pouring a cup of tea, she just sat quietly by the side.

I just can't understand what Lin Yan has done to make the prince so infatuated with her. How great it would be if it were me.

Yesterday, she could still see anger on the prince's face, but today, as he left Beijing, for some reason, she found that the anger on the prince's face had disappeared, and was replaced by deep worry.

Xiang Ling couldn't help but feel indignant for her own young lady as she watched. She was born a lowly maid, not even fit to carry the young lady's shoes. Yet, she made a scene in the Crescent Moon Courtyard all day long. How could the prince be so obsessed with her?

If Lin Yan can do it, I can do it too.

"Your Highness. I have a guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not." Xiangling's voice suddenly rang out in the carriage, which was so quiet that only the sound of wheels could be heard.

Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to speak.

"I just heard that Madam Lin is not dead, but has left the capital and her whereabouts are unknown. If this is true, Madam Lin has always been afraid of the cold, so I think it is more likely that she would choose the south."

Zhao Yuan frowned and looked at her, somewhat surprised that she, a little maid from Wenbo Mansion, was quite bold.

However, what the maid said is somewhat possible.

Xiang Ling looked at Zhao Yuan's serious and concerned face, knowing that her bet was right, and quietly stepped aside again.

Jiangnan is a prosperous place, not to mention it. With Lin Yan's personality, she would never go to such a cold and bitter place.

Zhao Yuan could not help but remain silent. He really felt ridiculous and angry. He knew that Lin Yan had wanted to leave, and she had told him the reason long ago. She had no status and did not want to be one of his women. He just did not expect her to be so bold and do such a thing.

Her ideas and concepts that are unacceptable to the world are not just casual remarks, but real.

Just based on her looks, as soon as she shows up in public, there will be no man who won’t want to get her.

He told Miao what kind of women he liked, and taught Xie how to make unusual clothes. It was obvious that he was trying to push him towards those two women.

But she herself, knowing that he liked thin girls, insisted on eating to make herself fat. She knew how to make small clothes that would make men's blood boil, but she never wore them.

Zhao Yuan was really angry and hurt.

I’m angry at her for being so heartless, angry at her for being so naive, angry at her for being so ignorant. What should I do if I encounter danger outside?

He immediately ordered the guards to turn around and head south.
