RPAGF Chapter 465 Can't Return to the Palace
Chapter 465 Can't Return to the Palace
The city is well-planned and everything seems to be thriving.
Singh pulled aside the car curtain and looked out at the street. Familiar scenes, familiar pictures. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly and returned to her usual expression.
Just thinking about going home and entering the palace, there was no smile in her eyes, exuding endless worry.
She had been sitting in the carriage all the way and her back and waist were sore, so she got off the carriage with Chen Lian.
With her face covered by a veil, she walked together with Chen Lian on the busy street.
She asked Jiang Yue in a roundabout way,
"Jiang Yue, what are your plans?"
"What about you?" Jiang Yue asked in a seemingly normal tone, as if she came to Xining just to have fun.
"Of course, we're going back to the palace." Singh couldn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he quickened his pace.
Jiang Yue was different from everyone she had known before. Singh had only had a short time to interact with her, so naturally he couldn't figure her out.
Chen Lian followed closely beside Singh. Being in a foreign country, she looked around and found everything very strange.
Everything in Xining is similar to Donglin.
If there is any difference, it is the food and various jewellery sold by the vendors.
Jiang Yue thought about the more than 200 people he brought with him and said to Song Jie:
"Take a few people and check if there are any courtyards available for rent in the Xining Imperial City."
It was difficult for more than 200 people to gather together and move around in the inn.
Song Jie did not dare to have any objection. After clasping his fists and saying yes, he took Wu Ding and more than ten other Xuanwu soldiers and dispersed first.
The rest of the Xuanwu Army continued to follow Jiang Yue's steps.
Wu Fei and Xue Wen felt that it was great to live in a place with lots of money and people, where they no longer had to live in the open air.
Along the way, they were observing every brick, every blade of grass and every tree here.
On the road, Jiang Yue caught up with Singh.
"You can't go back to the palace."
She had persuaded Singh to stay in Donglin before she set out.
"Why?" Singer asked, slowing down his pace.
"What? Haven't you used me enough?" She didn't want to go home, but she was already back, so why was she still hiding?
"Singer, you can't go back to the palace." Jiang Yue repeated and continued to analyze.
"Didn't you see that we met so many soldiers from Xining along the way? They had already told your father that you had defected to Donglin."
As for the Xining soldiers she met on the road, it was not that she didn't want to intercept them, but because she would suffer unnecessary trouble if she failed to intercept them.
Moreover, some soldiers took different routes and they would never meet them, so they just ignored them.
Singh realized it belatedly after hearing this, and it was like a blow to the head.
"No, I didn't. I'm Princess Xining. How could I betray you..."
The words came to a halt because she had been forced to do it.
"Jiang Yue, didn't you go to Xining this time just to send me back to the palace?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she sneered with a sarcastic smile on her face.
"No wonder you don't want me to go home."
"Singer, let's talk about the facts. You can't go back to the palace." Jiang Yue said this, believing that Singh would think rationally.
"Being impulsive will only make you die faster."
"No, even though I'm an abandoned child, my mother must believe in me." Singh murmured, and the coldness emanating from his body was felt even by all the Xuanwu soldiers behind him.
Finally, Chen Lian, who was stunned by what she heard, supported her wrist.
"Singer, don't be sad."
Singh is desperate and lonely.
How could she not be sad? After everything she had gone through, she was forced to accept all the facts.
The Queen Mother must be heartbroken. The King Father never liked her in the first place, and she must feel that her daughter has brought shame upon herself.
As early as the moment she was kidnapped by the Prince of Beiyan, Xining had already lost all face.
Her pace was slow. Jiang Yue just glanced at Chen Lian, motioning her to keep up, while she herself fell behind.
Wu Fei took a step forward, followed Jiang Yue's footsteps, and asked in a low voice:
"General, she won't commit suicide, will she?"
Jiang Yue shook her head.
Xue Wen also followed Jiang Yue's steps and replied for her:
"No, this princess may seem weak, but she is open-minded. She just has a hard time."
…At noon, Jiang Yue ordered his Xuanwu Army to go to the inn, restaurant, or roadside stall to fill their stomachs first.
Jiang Yue, Wu Fei, Xue Wen, Singer and Chen Lian started to have dinner in a restaurant.
On the table, the dishes are sumptuous and exude tempting aroma.
Singh ate absentmindedly, his eyes drifting towards the bustling street scene outside the window from time to time, wondering whether his meeting with his mother would be disliked.
Her mother was a very strong person.
"The food in Xining is really unique." Xue Wen picked up a piece of mutton and tasted it. Wu Fei nodded.
"It's really good."
After traveling for half a year, unlike their previous journeys when they were starving, Wu Fei was enjoying delicious food along the way.
Jiang Yue chewed the delicious tenderloin in her mouth: "Each has its own characteristics."
She wanted to eat the food her grandma cooked. Whenever she tasted other delicacies, she always thought of her grandma and of course her third sister.
While eating, Song Jie, Wu Ding and other members of the Xuanwu Army came to the inn.
Song Jie said, "We have found a few houses that are not far from here. We just need you to come and see them in person."
It’s no wonder that this place is vast and sparsely populated, so it’s not difficult to find an empty yard.
Jiang Yue nodded with satisfaction, "Let's eat first."
"Yes." Song Jie and Wu Ding each found a table and sat down, ordering the food they wanted.
After dinner, Jiang Yue and others went to the courtyard that Song Jie was looking for.
Since it was just a temporary stay, Jiang Yue didn't have too many requirements and simply accepted the rent.
She looked at several houses and finally chose a courtyard that looked more spacious.
The courtyard was originally a large workshop, but it has been vacant ever since the original owner went on strike due to poor business.
The courtyard looks simple, but it is surrounded by houses on all sides. What Jiang Yue needs now is enough rooms to accommodate the Xuanwu Army.
Fortunately, many houses have large dormitories, and the Xuanwu Army, who came from the border areas, are not picky. If there are not enough beds, they can just squeeze together. Anyway, they are not staying there for long.
Singh did not check in, but borrowed some money from Jiang Yue and asked Chen Lian to accompany him and stay in an inn not far away.
Before checking into the inn, the two girls strolled along the busy night streets together.
Whenever Singh sees something he likes, he will buy it, and sometimes he buys two at a time.
After a lot of shopping, my mood has improved a lot.
Chen Lian felt distressed by the speed at which Singh spent money.
She had never dreamed of buying so many things.
That night, the soldiers from a foreign country sat together and laughed and talked about life, and no one could sleep.
Jiang Yue had ordered that no one was allowed to drink alcohol, and they did not dare to break the taboo.
Tonight, she sat alone in front of the window, imagining the war between Donglin and Beiyan.
She accidentally realized that they had lost contact along the way, but she also thought of the power of their eastward journey.
In a nearby inn.
Singh and Chen Lian did not fall asleep either. Instead, they lay on the bed together and talked about interesting childhood memories.
