Her guards

Chapter 173 A strange feeling
"Our young lady is taking care of the Commandant of the Guards. His Majesty is concerned about the Commandant of the Guards and sent me to report back."

Yang Luo explained to Princess Heisei.

After a strange and absurd thought flashed through her mind, Princess Heisei guessed the reason.

"How is Wei Jiao's injury?" she asked.

She arrived late at the hunting grounds and was then summoned to inquire about what had happened. She only knew that Wei Jiao was wounded by a crossbow bolt while trying to control a runaway horse, and that he had returned to the palace with the emperor and empress without ever personally visiting the site.

"The arrowhead was successfully removed, but it needs careful care, otherwise the arm will be ruined," Yang Luo said.

That must be a serious injury. No wonder Father Emperor was so worried. In any case, it's such a pity that such a handsome young man has lost an arm.

“My maternal grandfather sent some delicacies to my palace,” Princess Heicheng said, instructing a palace maid, “Take Asheng to fetch them and have her take them to Wei Jiao.”

Her maid responded with a hint of arrogance, raised her chin at Yang Luo, and then turned and left.

But Yang Luo did not follow.

Princess Heisei paused slightly, looking at the maid...

"Oh, Your Highness, please go in quickly," the head eunuch urged. "His Majesty is waiting for you."

After saying this, he assigned tasks to the eunuchs.

"Let's see if there's anything else we need to bring, and have Miss Asheng take it with us."

The eunuchs responded in a chaotic manner.

The head eunuch urged again, "Princess, please come in quickly."

Princess Heisei glanced at the palace maid, signaling her to fetch it herself, and then went inside without lingering any longer.

"Father—how are you feeling today?"

She stepped into the hall, and before entering, she subconsciously looked back and saw the head eunuch leading the maid Asheng towards the side hall.

"...Miss Asheng, please wait here for a moment...Try the sweet porridge and see if it suits your taste..."

Sweet porridge, wasn't that specially prepared for her by her father?

Princess Heisei frowned slightly.

It feels weird.

"Heisei," the Emperor's voice came from the front, "you've arrived."

Princess Heicheng withdrew her gaze, smiled, and strode inside: "Father, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"

……

.......
"Miss Yang's maid has entered the palace to see His Majesty?"

Although the Imperial Concubine was still under house arrest, she immediately learned of the news.

The palace maid nodded: "Yes, they said they were inquiring about Wei Jiao's injuries."

I can't help but say this again.

"However, His Majesty can ask the imperial physicians and eunuchs. What can he possibly find out by asking a maidservant of a young lady from the Duke of Ding'an's mansion?"

"Although it is said that Miss Yang is to take care of Wei Jiao, Miss Yang herself is also sick, and there is a difference between men and women. Miss Yang is just putting on an act. How could she know the extent of Wei Jiao's injuries?"

"This is strange."

Consort Li leaned against the window, writing with a focused expression, but the smile on her lips was even more pronounced.

This is not surprising, because the emperor was not inquiring about Wei Jiao, but about Miss Yang.

Thinking of this, Consort Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She couldn't go out during the Lunar New Year because of the lockdown, but she had a really refreshing holiday.

Because all the news coming in was good news.

In order to avoid seeing Miss Yang, the Empress asked His Majesty to cancel the New Year's banquet and instead hold a hunting banquet at the imperial palace. But so what? Miss Yang still attended, and not only did she attend, she also met the Emperor.

Although the emperor seemed no different from before, not giving Miss Yang a second glance, but...

It's different now, it's different now.

Miss Yang was left in the imperial palace and was not sent back to the Duke of Ding'an's mansion to be imprisoned.

The emperor's chief eunuch even went to visit him at the imperial palace in the middle of the night.

Miss Yang's maid was even invited into the palace to meet His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Consort Li couldn't help but put down her pen, get up and take a few steps, her expression excited. She was certain that the emperor already knew that this Miss Yang was his daughter.

Consort Li took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the Emperor's bedroom.

However, it seems the emperor still doesn't intend to make his daughter's situation public. This is understandable.

It would be embarrassing for the emperor to announce it publicly, and they also didn't want to break ties with the Chai family over it.

The emperor tolerated the death of Yang Tong.

Once this daughter dies, will the emperor still be able to tolerate it?
"Go and have my brother come here," Consort Li instructed the palace maid. "After the sixteenth, the Imperial Academy will start classes, and Wu Yang's studies have fallen behind. Have him come and teach her properly so that she won't embarrass herself again at the Imperial Academy."

The palace maid responded "Yes" and withdrew.

……

.......
Carrying the various rare tonics given by the emperor and the delicacies from the mountains given by the princess, Yang Luo did not go straight back to the palace. First, she went to a small alley to visit Liu Chan and told her not to worry about Miss Yang. Then, when passing through the market, she went to a restaurant and picked out some dishes to take away.

When they were led to the waiting room, the old man stood up with a smile: "It seems that Miss Yang has gotten her wish this time."

Yang Luo sat down and raised an eyebrow: "What do you know, sir?"

Previously, these people had approached Zhang Shengyou and others to inquire about information, and Yang Luo told them to come to the palace to see her, but of course, they did not show up.

Where did they get their information from?

"Seeing Miss Asheng so happy, I know everything." The old man just smiled and said, "With your help, how could that Miss Yang have been frightened by her horse for nothing?"

"That's nice to say," Yang Luo smiled, then sighed softly, "but it's not entirely as I wish. After all, she's still Miss Yang."

"Although she still bears the name Miss Yang, she already has the demeanor of a princess," the old man said with a smile, then added, "Just look at Miss Asheng's outings to see."

Yang Luo could no longer hide his smugness, and said in a low voice with a beaming smile, "Our young master said that although the title is not legitimate, we should still show the proper demeanor."

The old man raised his hand in a compliment: "Young master is wise." He then solemnly added, "If you need our assistance, please be sure to give the order."

Yang Luo nodded arrogantly: "Yes, yes."

……

……

When Yang Luo returned to the palace, it was already dusk. Mo Zheng was eating inside and hurriedly invited her to eat with him when she saw her come in.

Yang Luo was somewhat surprised: "Why didn't you go with Wei Jiao?"

Ever since the emperor gave the order for Miss Yang to take care of Wei Jiao, Mo Zheng has been eating all three meals a day at Wei Jiao's place.

In fact, Mo Zheng had already been frequently seen with Wei Jiao before the emperor spoke.

Seeing her sitting here eating all of a sudden felt a little strange.

“He wouldn’t let me see this or ask that yesterday, so I’d better not bother him, lest I be disliked,” Mo Zheng said, raising an eyebrow at Yang Luo. “Miss Yang has a temper too.”

Yang Luo smiled and sat down: "From the time I entered the palace to the time I walked out of the city gate, there were probably five groups of people watching me."

Mo Zheng nodded: "There are two groups of people near the palace."

"Are they people associated with those people?" Yang Luo asked, recounting his encounter with the old man. "They seemed to really know something."

Mo Zheng frowned slightly: "You guessed it. The people outside the palace are very cautious and haven't come any closer."

This is, after all, a royal palace.

Yang Luo said "Oh," and then asked, "Has anyone come to the palace today?"

“Yes, early this morning, servants from Wei Jiao’s household came to visit Wei Jiao, but Wei Jiao scolded them and drove them away,” Mo Zheng said, then smiled. “Duke Ding’an and the eldest son also came, seemingly to reprimand me. I made them stand at the palace gate for half a day, and they left on their own.”

Yang Luo sneered. He had ignored the incident since it happened, and now he was here to scold her. He was heartless. Suddenly, his smile froze, and he stood up.

"Ah Sheng," she said softly to Mo Zheng, "did the servants of the Wei family see my uncle and cousin standing at the palace gate?"

Regardless, the Duke of Ding'an and his son were relatives and elders, yet Miss Yang stopped them at the palace gates, which was indeed...

"Although she still bears the name Miss Yang, she already has the demeanor of a princess."

The old man's voice echoed in my ears once more.

Although the old man later added that he saw her being escorted by eunuchs when she went out.

But she still felt something was strange.

This is her intuition.

Mo Zheng's expression hardened as she looked at Yang Luo: "You previously mentioned how I died in that life?"

The imperial court sent the Earl of Yongwu to lead troops, but he failed. Finally, General Wei Cui of Longxi took action and forced the Yunling bandits into a canyon. Then, a heavy snow fell, and most of them froze and starved to death, and the bandits were completely wiped out.

General Wei Cui of Longxi.
