Chapter 52 Follow His Royal Highness

"Departing tomorrow?" Shen Yuhua was very surprised when she heard Xiao Huazi's words. Isn't it ten days before the departure time? Why is it said that we are leaving tomorrow?

"Madam, this is the emperor's order, and I don't know why."

"Is His Royal Highness in Zhaoyang Palace?"

"Your Highness has gone to the barracks and is not in the palace now."

"Om, I know. You can go back to Your Highness."

"Yes, mother." Xiao Huazi retreated in response.

"How could the day be so advanced at this time? What on earth is the emperor's plan..." Shen Yuyan muttered with her eyebrows, feeling very confused.

"Mother, this time has shrunk too much, and there are a lot of things that haven't been cleaned up yet." Hearing Xiaohuazi's words, Fei Yun could only mourn in his heart. He thought it could be delayed for a few more days. Who knew that he would go there tomorrow.

"Eh, you tell them to clean up from simplicity. Clean up the necessary things first. Don't make mistakes." Since you go early and go late, it's better to go earlier.

"Yes, the maidservant will go down to order."

In the early morning of the next day, wisps of sunlight broke through the clouds, gradually illuminating the whole earth.

Last night, Shen Yuyan had ordered someone to load all the luggage that should be used into the carriage.

Today, when the sky was just bright, Shen Yuyan got up. The palace people said that Mu Yunting had been waiting at the gate with the army and food and grass. Shen Yuyan did not dare to delay and got into the carriage and rushed to the gate.

The speed of the carriage was not slow. For the special reasons of this trip, Shen Yuyan chose a relatively small carriage, which looked not so luxurious, but it was noble.

Perhaps because it was too early and a large number of disaster victims came in the city, the street was very quiet, and only the purring of the carriage could be heard along the way.

If Shen Yuhan lifts the car curtain, she can see that there are many ragged disaster victims on street corners or dark places.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness is right in front of you." Mu Yunting was waiting at the gate of the city. After seeing Shen Yuyan's carriage coming, he walked over.

Shen Yuwen was still waiting to get out of the carriage to greet Mu Yunting, but she was soon stopped by Mu Yunting. You don't have to say those false salutes to me. After saying that, Mu Yunting returned to the front of the team and shouted in a low voice, "Open the gate!"

Soon, the big gate slowly opened.

When the disaster victims outside the gate saw the gate open, they all looked this way. Some were still ready to see if there was a chance to enter the city. Because since what happened last night, the city guard has increased the number of soldiers at the gate, and it is not so easy to enter the city.

When the victims saw Mu Yunting sitting on a high-headed horse and wearing a dark red dragon-patterned prince's uniform, they all stopped there and looked at him motionless.

Behind Mu Yunting is a neat and orderly army, as well as food and clothing protected by soldiers.

I don't know who got this head first, but the disaster victims outside the city knelt down to Mu Yunting and shouted in unison. His Royal Highness save us, His Royal Highness save our hometown..."

The disaster victims are constantly repeating these two sentences. It can be seen that the fact that Mu Yunting's visit to the disaster area in person can really give great encouragement to the disaster victims. Maybe this gives them more or less hope for life.

Looking at the disaster victims who knelt down to him, even if Mu Yunting was an indifferent person, his heart was deeply touched at this moment.

After receiving Mu Yunting's eyes, Xiao Huazi hurried forward and used his internal strength and said, "Guys, His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess are going to rush to your hometown to relieve the disaster. His Royal Highness will not leave you alone."

"Your Highness, Princess Xie."

After this period, Mu Yunting continued to march to the destination.

Although Shen Yujuan, who was sitting in the carriage, did not see the scene just now, she could hear the voices of the victims clearly. She had never seen such a scene, and her heart felt a little flinching. Although her reputation in the hearts of the people has increased again, in fact, she is still a little afraid of such a thing.

"Mother, this is already outside the city. Just now, when I saw the roadside, there were a lot of... I was so scared..." Fei Yun secretly lifted the curtain and looked out just now. It doesn't matter. It really scared her heart. She saw those lying on one side and didn't move. There are more than one or two people who move. If she guess correctly, those people should be dead.

"There is something to be afraid of. Aren't you famous for your boldness?" Although Shen Yuhuan is also a little scared in her heart, her endurance is much stronger than that of Fei Yun.

"But, but maidservant, maidservant has never seen so much..." Feiyun's expression was about to cry, which showed that he was really scared.

"If you don't want to." After saying that, Shen Yuhuan didn't pay attention to Feiyun anymore. She closed her eyes and refreshed.

"Miss, miss... Miss is not good, not good!" When Xie Zhiruo drank the last dose of medicine in the room, Yuelan's rushing voice sounded outside the hospital, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"Yuelan, what's wrong with you? Take your time and don't worry." Xie Zhiruo put down the medicine bowl in her hand. At this time, she was the only one in the room. Yuexi had gone to the planting room to help her take care of the medicinal seedlings that had grown a lot.

Yue Lan hurriedly opened the curtain and ran in. She gasped and said to Xie Zhiruo, "Miss, Miss, Your Highness, Your Highness is gone, gone..."

Hearing the words, Xie Zhiruo frowned suspiciously and didn't quite understand what Yuelan meant. Gone? Yue Lan, you can make it clear. I don't quite understand what it means to leave.

At this time, Yue Lan had calmed down, but she said eagerly, "Miss, don't you know this? This morning, His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess had set out for the disaster area! They have already left!"

"If you leave, you will leave. Yuelan, why do you make a fuss? Isn't this a matter of time? I just don't know why I advanced the time to go. At this time, Yuexi opened the curtain and came in. Maybe Yuelan's voice was too loud just now. Even Yuexi, who had just come in, heard it when she was outside.

"What? You said they went to the disaster area and left this morning? Unlike Yue Xi's natural reaction, Xie Zhiruo stared at Yue Lan in shock, as if she couldn't believe what she had just said was true.

"Yes, Miss!"

"But isn't there about ten days left before the originally set departure time today? Why did you advance the time again?" Why, why didn't he even know anything when he left? He foolishly thought that when she was ready, he would ask him to take him with him. Now it's ridiculous to think about his plans.

"It's really strange. Yuelan, why do you look very sorry and hateful? Do you also want to follow His Royal Highness to the disaster area?" Yuexi was very puzzled about Yuelan's reaction. Although the itinerary was advanced, which made her feel a little surprised, she would never look like Yuelan.

"I, I just thought that the young lady couldn't see him off when His Royal Highness left... What else can I think about?" Yuelan was questioned by Yuexi. For a moment, she woke up and found that her reaction seemed to be a little too much. She quickly found an excuse to hide her abnormality.

"Do you think it's too late to get there now?" Xie Zhiruo didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two people at all, but looked out of the window with a dull look and said softly for a long time.

"Miss, you're crazy! Although Yuexi knew that you were also worried about His Royal Highness, it was too risky for you to do so!" Yue Xi clearly heard Xie Zhiruo's whisper, and she was very surprised by Xie Zhiruo's question.

"Miss, do you really want to chase the prince?" Yue Lan was already disappointed. She didn't finish what Mu Yunlei gave her well this time, but she didn't expect that Xie Zhi was bold enough to catch up with the team that had already set out.

Xie Zhiruo nodded without hesitation, and her eyes gradually became firm. Well, I can't put him alone in danger. I must catch up with his team!"

"Miss, how can you catch up with such a large team? And I heard that the gate is basically closed all day now, just open an hour every day for the merchant team to leave the city!" Yuexi disagreed with Xie Zhiruo's idea. Anyway, even if Xie Zhiruo can go out of the palace, how can she be alone as a weak woman? If she can, she doesn't want Xie Zhiruo to go.

"Yuexi, in fact, I was ready to go with him when I knew that he was going to the disaster area. I just didn't expect that they would leave early. Don't worry, I will come back safely!" With that, Xie Zhiruo stood up and began to pack his luggage.

"If Miss really wants to go, then Yuexi will go with you!" If Xie Zhi really has to go, then she is willing to be with her all the time.

Hearing this, Xie Zhiruo stopped her movements in her hand, looked at Yuexi seriously, and said, "Yuexi, do you know, in fact, in my heart, I have regarded me as the only relative in the world. There will be many hardships on the way this time. I will never let you take risks with me."

"But, miss, you won't be at ease if you are alone."

"No, miss, let Yuelan accompany you. Yuelan can accompany you!" Seeing that Xie Zhiruo was determined not to let Yuexi follow, Yuelan hurried forward and recommended herself.

"Just wait for me to come back in this yard. I won't let you follow me on an adventure." When Xie Zhiruo wanted to go to the disaster area with Mu Yunting, she did not think that she could come back intact, so she would not let anyone follow her on an adventure.

"Miss, if you are still waiting for His Royal Highness to come back in the palace, would that be good? If so, Yuexi said that if you can't catch up with the prince's team, what should he do?

"No, Yuexi, they just left this morning. I believe that if I hurry up, I will catch up."

"But Miss..." Seeing Xie Zhiruo like this, Yue Shi knew that no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be futile. Xie Zhiruo would still go to that place in the end. But now it's so chaotic outside. There are a lot of disaster victims inside and outside the city. How dangerous would it be if Xie Zhiruo went out alone?

"Okay, Yuexi, don't persuade me anymore. You can take good care of the medicinal herbs planted in the house in the yard and wait for me to come back."

"Miss, Yuexi can't go with you, but I can, miss. Take me with you. I can take care of you all the way!" Yue Lan was very unwilling to ignore her directly. Her purpose was to follow Xie Zhiruo to the disaster area!

"Yuelan, you don't have to say any more. I have decided to go alone. I can't put you in danger."

"Miss, have you figured out how to get out of the palace?" Zhaoyang Palace is in the palace anyway, and this entry and exit of the palace is a token.

Hearing this, Xie Zhiruo packed up his bag, which was really a big problem. Previously, she also thought about what she would do if she couldn't go with Mu Yunting. Later, she came up with a method, but this method could not be implemented until the night was quiet.

"I have my own plan for this. You don't have to worry about Yuexi."

"Well, when are you going to go, Miss?"

"I'm leaving tonight."

"But miss, when you go out of the palace this night, you are not familiar with the place. It's very dangerous! Miss, let Yuexi accompany you."

"Yuexi, I gave you the medicinal herbs that I spent a lot of effort on. Can you take good care of them for me in the yard?"

"Miss..."

"Okay, don't say it. I've made up my mind." After saying that, Xie Zhiruo stopped paying attention to Yuexi and Yuelan.

Yuelan originally wanted to follow Xie Zhiruo to the disaster area out of Mu Yunlei's order, but in fact, she was extremely unwilling to go to that place. Who could predict what happened along the way?

Compared with the recognition of Mu Yunlei, Yuelan feels that her life is more important. As for what she said just now, it is not a matter of whether she has worked hard but failed to achieve the desired result.

Seeing Xie Zhiruo's firmness, Yuexi sighed helplessly and worriedly and began to help Xie Zhiruo pack up her bags.

"Miss, it's cold today. Yuexi will help you prepare some clothes to protect you from the cold."

"Om, thank you, Yuexi. I'm on my way this time. Just wear one on your body and take one with you."

"Does the lady need to bring some medicinal herbs on the way? If there is a minor illness and pain, it's better to have a preparation..." In Yuexi's opinion, it's time to bring everything that should be prepared and what should be brought.

"Well, I'll be ready for this."

In this way, two people who were full of worry and eagerness packed their bags.

At night, the cool moonlight shone on Zhaoyang Palace, which seemed a little cold because of the owner's absence, and Xie Zhiruo's Qiyun courtyard was also very dark, and only two lights were lit in the whole yard.

Xie Zhiruo was wearing dark gray thick men's clothing, tied up her long hair over her waist, and deliberately smeared a small white face with pot dust to make it much darker. She also put some cotton wool in her clothes to make the whole person look stronger and less weak.

Yue Lan went to bed early because she knew that there was nothing wrong with her.

At this time, Yuexi and Xie Zhiruo were in the room, and Yuexi held Xie Zhiruo's burden in his hand.

"Miss, Yuexi, please let Yuexi accompany you, okay?" Looking at Xie Zhiruo, who was about to leave, Yuexi was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

"Well, Yuexi, I promise, I'll come back well. Don't worry so much, okay?" Xie Zhiruo smiled, took the burden from Yuexi's hand, took a deep breath, and then turned to the yard.

He walked to the door of the courtyard and carefully opened the door of the courtyard. Xie Zhiruo poked out her little head and looked left and right to ensure that there was no one outside before walking out of the yard. Before leaving, Xie Zhiruo turned around and looked at the yard where she had been staying for a long time in the dark, with reluctance. Although she told Yuexi that she would come back in peace, who would know what would happen in the future?

"Miss, you have to be careful all the way." Yue Xi looked at Xie Zhiruo's carefully leaving back and muttered softly.

After leaving the yard, Xie Zhiruo walked in the direction behind the Qiyun Courtyard. The Qiyun Courtyard where she was located is located in a relatively remote place in the whole Zhaoyang Palace. As long as she crossed a yard, it was next to the palace wall.

One day when she got lost in the palace, she found the place, which came in handy at this time.

With the faint moonlight, Xie Zhiruo came to a high courtyard wall. The courtyard wall is very high, at least 10 meters and 8 meters. If she wants to climb out by the wall, it is simply impossible for her.

After avoiding the patrol guards, Xie Zhiruo walked to a wall and gently removed two or three potted plants piled up in the same place. Soon, a dog hole that could be passed by one person appeared in the corner.

This dog hole was discovered by her last time. She didn't care too much before, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today. Xie Zhiruo looked left and right to make sure that there was no one before bending down and crawling out of the dog hole.

It took a lot of effort to get out of the dog hole that has not been used for a long time.

"Wow... it's finally out." Xie Zhiruo exhaled gently, and the first step was finally a complete success.

Looking up at the lonely moon hanging in the sky, Xie Zhiruo suddenly felt very cold. She really wanted Ye Yan, who always gave her warm arms, to accompany her. She really missed his arms, which was warm but so powerful...
