Chapter 258
The two walked in the snow for a long time. At noon, they finally saw the north gate of the Imperial Capital.

There was a noodle stall at the gate of the city, Chen Yanli took Jiang Nan to sit down, and ordered two bowls of hot noodle soup from the stall.

"I'm starving to death, I can't walk anymore, let's eat first!"

Jiang Nan was noncommittal, sitting beside Chen Yanli, her eyebrows darkened, she remembered Ye Chengcheng's words, worried about Gu Yunbai's safety, turned her head and told Chen Yanli: "If you have time, help me go to Xuanwuhou's mansion. , I have to go see Yunbai first!"

Chen Yanli wanted to refuse at first, he didn't like to do such scandalous things, but seeing her melancholy, soft and helpless appearance, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go!"

The hot noodle soup was served, and the two buried their heads in eating. The bowl was bottomed out. Chen Yanli warmed up all over, and finally found a little feeling that he was still alive, watching Jiang Nan eat the noodles slowly.

After a long time, he finally said: "There is a vacancy at the Nantai Military Mansion. The Emperor is here, so I decided to transfer out of Beijing."

Jiang Nan hummed, covered her brows and eyes, and said softly: "Very well, the imperial capital will be in chaos in the next few years, staying away from the imperial capital will save your life."

"..." Chen Yanli looked surprised.

There was a commotion at the North City Gate, attracting many sideways glances. Horses hooves burst into action, and the Yulin Guard cavalry was dispatched, like a hurricane, extremely violent.

Jiang Nan glanced at it, then got up immediately, and shouted at the head of the Habayashi guard: "Zong Yue!"

Zong Yue had sharp eyes and ears, and when he heard the shout, he immediately reined in his horse and followed the sound with a solemn expression. The moment he saw Jiang Nan, his expression was excited, and he let out a deep breath in his heart.

"Crown princess, are you in serious trouble?!" Zong Yue got off his horse and saluted. The expression on his face was like seeing his own dead mother, wishing to kneel down and cry bitterly.

The Yulin Guards came to report that the Crown Princess had disappeared, which frightened Zong Yue. The Crown Prince was in the palace before the emperor, and no one was in sight, so he did not dare to report.

He led people to search in the city for a long time, only to learn from Wei Ze that the Crown Princess was kidnapped, and finally found the trace, luckily she came back by herself.

Looking at her like this, I'm afraid she has suffered a lot, and seeing Chen Yanli who was following Jiang Nan, Zong Yue felt that something was wrong.

Obviously, it was Chen Yanli who saved Jiang Nan by some mistake.

It's over, let the prince know, the entire Habayashi Guard will die.

The Crown Princess was kidnapped, this matter is too big, anyway, nothing happened now, there is no way that the Crown Princess would take the initiative to bring it up, otherwise, he would also hide it from her?

"It's okay, did you go out of the city to find me?"

Jiang Nan asked, and after getting Zong Yue's nod, he asked anxiously, "Is there any news about Yun Bai?"

Zong Yue's expression froze.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan's brows sank slightly, and she ordered: "Go to the Wei Mansion first."

"Don't! Crown Princess, go back to the East Palace first!" Zong Yue hurriedly stopped Jiang Nan, but she insisted on going to Wei Mansion, Zong Yue couldn't stop her at all. The mansion is under siege, Miss Yun has been arrested, and Duke Wei is also implicated. If the Crown Princess wants to save someone, she can only go back to the East Palace first."

Jiang Nan clenched her fists and stood under the city gate hesitating. She turned her head to look at Chen Yanli, and wanted to ask him to help him go to Wei Mansion to bring his grandpa out.

But after thinking about it, even if the Wei Mansion is besieged, it is impossible to escape with Lan Xing's ability, and with Gu Yunbai's character, it is very possible to sacrifice herself to let Lan Xing save Grandpa Tang.

The less people know about Grandpa Tang's whereabouts, the better.

Jiang Nan finally gave Chen Yanli a complicated look, and got on the carriage back to the East Palace.

The Jiuhua Palace was eerily quiet.

Jiang Nan changed into clean clothes, leaned on the soft couch, her frostbitten feet were soaking in hot water, and her gaze fell on the farthest distance.

Lan Qing and Nanyan Nanshan stood by, and no one dared to say a word.

outside the house.

"All go down to get twenty army sticks! The two who followed out today seriously dereliction of duty, demoted from their posts, and get out of the East Palace!"

"Zong Yue, your crime is worse! Go and receive the punishment yourself!"

The snow had stopped, and Xie Yun's furious voice seemed to be colder and biting than when it snowed in the morning.

He strode in, the expression on his face hadn't returned to calm, and with a wave of his hand, Lan Qing and the others immediately bowed their heads and retreated.

"You went to the Du Mansion and took people away."

The first sentence Xie Yun uttered was about Grandpa Tang. Jiang Nan was slightly surprised. She thought he would care about her being kidnapped by Ye Chengcheng, and that it was Chen Yanli who saved her, but he didn't.

She raised her eyes to look at him, and asked calmly, "It's you who hid Grandpa Tang in the Du Mansion?"

"Not before, but after I know it, I also think Du's mansion is the most suitable place for him to stay!" Xie Yun answered with eyebrows raised. After Du Jian died, Du Sisi got married, and there was no one in Du's mansion. The emperor was bedridden because of Du Jian's death. Today, no one in the imperial capital dared to underestimate the Du family.

Hiding people in Du's mansion can deceive people's eyes and ears.

"What do you know?"

Jiang Nan's probing words made Xie Yun feel chills, his eyes ignited, and he reprimanded lightly: "Why did you dismiss Habayashi Wei? They are protecting you. If something happens to you, why not?" What to do? You want to see Grandpa Tang, you can tell me, why do you do so many things without telling me? Are you guarding against me? "

Xie Yun avoids the serious and takes the easy. It is obvious that he does not want to talk about it. Too many things have happened now and he should not waste time discussing them here.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Jiang Nan took a deep breath, and changed the topic, "Wei Mansion was raided, and Yun Bai was arrested by Tiance Mansion, is that what you mean?"

"Wei Mansion was just searched by Tiance Mansion, not copied! Duke Wei's family can't do anything serious! I've been in the palace this morning, and I don't know anything about it! You know, ever since I entered the Tai Chi Palace to assist the government, The Tiance Mansion is no longer under my control!"

Xie Yun sat beside Jiang Nan, held her cold hand, and coaxed: "Don't worry, the Tiance government has arrested it, and if Duan Zhengran is arrested, Yunbai will be fine."

"Of course Duan Zhengran won't touch Yunbai, but what about your father? What will he do to the Gu family?" Jiang Nan withdrew her hand, staring at Xie Yun with flickering eyes full of doubts.

Xie Yun was speechless for a moment, there were too many problems between them, the promise was too weak, he talked too much, she didn't believe it.

Silence broke out between the two.

After a while, the water in the bucket became cold, and Jiang Nan wiped her feet dry with a handkerchief. Her feet were itchy and painful, so she hid them and covered them with the hem of her skirt.

She said, "I'm going to the palace banquet tonight."

Xie Yun looked at her for a long time, then said with dim eyes, "Okay."

"His Royal Highness, the emperor is in a hurry." Eunuch Zhong shouted from outside the house.

A smile appeared on Jiang Nan's face: "Go, father just recovered from illness, so he must be inseparable from you."

Xie Yun stared at Jiang Nan with deep eyes, so focused that she seemed to be able to stare a hole out of her, she smiled and said: "I will always go to see Yunbai later, so I can rest assured."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Xie Yun said sincerely.

"Thank you." Jiang Nan thanked casually.

"..." Xie Yun was stunned, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
