Pei Qingwan said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. She will soon follow Jiang Ci to the capital. If they stay together every day, you will have nothing to do."

Liu Hanyue was not surprised: "Yan Huai was seriously injured because of her, she must be going to the capital to seek revenge."

Pei Qingwan picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of tea: "She may leave tomorrow. Today she said she was going to Mount Taihua to ask Master Hongyi to treat her third brother. I guess she plans to wait until Yan Huai is cured before going to the capital."

Liu Hanyue pondered for a moment and then stood up to leave.

"I won't disturb my mother's rest. You should take good care of your pregnancy at home."

Pei Qingwan looked at him in astonishment: "You don't want to go with us, do you? Our Liu family has a special status, and there are so many eyes staring at us in the capital. I don't even dare to go back to the Su family to recognize my relatives at this time. If you go there, you will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Besides, your father will not agree."

Liu Hanyue pulled the corner of her lips indifferently.

"People in the capital have always thought I was a woman. I will dress as a man and change my identity to go to the capital. No one will know that I am the son of the Yongding Marquis. I will definitely go to the capital. When I get there, I will personally visit my grandparents. I'm leaving now!"

After saying this, Liu Hanyue turned around and strode away.

"Yue'er..."

Pei Qingwan shouted several times, but Liu Hanyue did not stop, which made her anxious.

"Oh, I shouldn't have told him this."

Early next morning

Letters were delivered from the Yongding Marquis' Mansion. Yan Shu saw that there were two letters and looked at the guard who delivered the letters in confusion.

"Miss Yan, the letter above is from the Marquis to Master Hongyi, and the other letter is from my second son to you."

"Good work."

After Yan Shu thanked him, the guard quickly rode back to report. She went back into the house and opened the letter from Liu Hanyue to read it.

Liu Hanyue said some heartwarming words in the letter, and asked him to remember to write to him after she went to the capital, and specifically noted that the reply should be sent to "Tianxiang Pavilion", the largest teahouse in the capital.

Judging from Liu Hanyue's letter, her attitude towards her is no different from before. Could it be that Pei Qingwan didn't have a heart-to-heart talk with Liu Hanyue when she returned to the Marquis' Mansion last night?

She thought Pei Qingwan would definitely convey what she said yesterday to Liu Hanyue. As a smart man, he should know what she was thinking. But looking at the content of his letter, it seemed that he was unaware of what she said to Pei Qingwan yesterday.

Yan Wen came over hurriedly: "Little sister, Jiang Ci is here to pick you up. He's waiting outside the gate."

Yan Shu put the two letters into his space and said to the door, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Outside the Yan family's gate, Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang, Yan Wen, Xu Shuangxue and his wife, as well as Yan Wu, Wen Yutang and others came together to see them off. Yan Shu glanced at the convoy waiting outside the gate.

Then she turned to Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry about your daughter. If Third Brother wakes up, I will send someone to bring back a letter as soon as possible. And Big Brother, take good care of Big Sister-in-law and the child."

Yan Wen: "Little sister, don't worry about home. Big brother will take good care of the family. You have to take good care of yourself when you are alone outside."

Yan Wu said, "Little sister, just let your second brother go with you. I also want to see the third brother wake up sooner, and I also want to go to the capital with you. I have grown up and still don't know what the capital looks like."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Second brother, you should stay at home and practice martial arts. When you become a martial arts master, I will pay you to be my bodyguard. How about that?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. As long as you provide me with food, I will accompany you wherever you go."

Yan Shu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will remember what you said today."

Then Yan Shu looked at Wen Yutang who was standing next to Yan Wu.

"When does Yu Tang plan to go to Beijing to take the exam?"

Wen Yutang said: "I plan to go there after the New Year. By then, I plan to go with a few classmates. Miss Yan, take care on your way. I look forward to your and Brother Yan Huai's early return."

Jiang Ci got off the carriage and walked towards the door of Yan's house.

He stood beside Yan Shu and bowed modestly to Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang, saying, "Second uncle, second aunt."

Yan Ersheng looked at Jiang Ci and said, "Erlang, my daughter is in your care for the whole journey. You have great martial arts skills and you must protect her well."

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu and promised, "Don't worry, uncle. I will protect my sister-in-law well along the way."

"I feel relieved when you say this. It's getting late. You should hurry up and leave."

"Little sister, be careful on the road." Xu Shuangxue walked up to Yan Shu holding the baby.

Yan Shu reached out and pinched the baby's pink little face.

"It's cold outside, you guys should go back."

Liu Wenniang's eyes were red as she grasped Yan Shu's hand and pulled her to the corner behind the door: "My daughter, you must protect yourself when you arrive in the capital. Remember what your mother said, nothing is more important than your life. The eldest princess is extremely powerful. If we can't defeat her, then we won't fight. At most, our family will stay away from her from now on."

Yan Shu looked at Liu Wen Niang. She understood Liu Wen Niang's worries as a mother, but she was just a woman with low cognition. When encountering a powerful enemy, the only thing she could think of was to stay away from danger. However, she did not understand the principle that the whole world belongs to the king.

If the assassination attempt fails, it will completely infuriate the Grand Princess. She can hide for a while, but not forever. As long as the Grand Princess is alive, she will not let her go. It doesn't matter if she dies, as she won't live long anyway, but she must not leave such a hidden danger to the Yan family. As for the pain that her third brother has suffered, she vowed to make the Grand Princess pay for it personally, so only a counterattack can give her a way out.

"Mother, I have taken note of your instructions. I will act accordingly when we get to the capital."

"How can I let my mother feel at ease when a girl like you goes to a place like the capital? Remember to write back often to let them know you are safe."

"Well, I'll write to you and tell you my address after I settle down. If you miss me, ask my sister-in-law to write a letter and send it to the capital."

Liu Wenniang held back her tears and nodded.

"Come on, I'll take you to the carriage."

Yan Shu and Liu Wenniang returned to the gate, said goodbye to their family, and got on the carriage with Jiang Ci.

The carriage slowly left the Yan family. Yan Shu lifted the curtain and waved goodbye to the Yan family reluctantly. He didn't know when he would see them again, or if he would have the chance to see them again.

"I have arranged for someone to secretly protect the Yan family. They will notify you in time if there is any situation here. Don't worry too much."

Yan Shu lowered the curtain and looked towards Jiang Ci: "Thank you."

"This matter was caused by me, so it is my duty to protect them. The Grand Princess is cautious, and she dares not act rashly after she lost contact with her confidants. So she will not send assassins over in the next few months, but she will send people to investigate Zhang Tong's disappearance. I have taken care of everything here, and the secret agents of the Liu family will also keep an eye on them. As long as the Grand Princess's men dare to come, they will not return."

With Jiang Ci's people and the Liu family secretly protecting them, there would surely be no trouble on the Yan family's side, and Yan Shu felt much more at ease.

"How long will it take us to get to Nanyang Prefecture?"

Jiang Ci said: "If we speed up the process, we can arrive in 20 days at most."

Yan Shu silently calculated in his mind that after twenty days, his third brother would have been in a coma for more than a month. The longer the coma lasted, the more disadvantageous it would be for his third brother. He hoped to meet Master Hongyi smoothly when he arrived at Mount Taihua.
