Quick Travel: When the host of Meimeijiao is bound to the birth system

Chapter 582: The Dark Prince vs. the Fishing Beauty 25

Shortly after lunch, the old lady sent someone to tell Shen Yao to go to her place. She already knew that the old lady was ill and that they were planning to travel to Jiangnan, but before they officially set off, she had some words of advice.

Shen Yao thought that the Marquis's wife must be there too, so she went over without thinking too much.

But when she arrived at Lancuiting, she found that she was the only one there.

Could it be that her grandmother wanted to tell her something in private?

Shen Yao pursed her lips and asked, "Grandma, have you had lunch?"

The old lady asked her to come and sit next to her. "I have already eaten. I wanted you to come and have dinner with me, but considering that you were probably busy packing your luggage in the morning, I decided not to."

As she spoke, she slowly held Shen Yao's hand, her eyes flickered as she sighed, "I already know that your grandmother is ill. Thinking back to the last time I saw her, it was many years ago, and I can't help but sigh that we are already so old."

Shen Yaohui held her hand and comforted her: "Grandma, you are not old at all."

The old lady smiled, took out a palm-sized red sandalwood box from her side, put it in Shen Yao's hand, and said softly: "This box contains an eighteen-seed blessing bracelet that I got from Qingyuan Temple. I have been carrying it with me all these years and using it as a talisman. Now, grandma wants to give it to you to bless you to have a safe and smooth trip."

Shen Yao felt warm in her heart and held the rosewood box tightly, "Grandma, it has been with you for so many years..."

The old lady patted her hand and said softly, "Keep it. This is a gift from your grandmother. But don't let your mother know so early, otherwise, this bracelet will be back in my hands before tonight. Your mother has a lot of concerns in her heart."

"Okay, I promise not to tell mother. This is a little secret between me and grandma." Shen Yao said with a smile, "However, when I come back from this trip, I will go to Qingyuan Temple to ask for a talisman for grandma. You must accept it then."

The old lady smiled comfortingly, "Okay, okay, I will definitely accept it."

Next, the two chatted about some personal matters until the second round of snacks was served, and then Shen Yao said goodbye.

On the way back, the sun was a bit hot.

After walking for a while, she was about to turn around and ask Xichun if she wanted to take a less sunny route, when suddenly an opened oil-paper umbrella appeared above her head.

The cool feeling is really refreshing.

"Baby, when did you bring..." She turned around to praise Xichun, but when she saw the figure of the man holding the umbrella, her tongue was instantly tied.

Qi Yunxiao's whole body froze, especially when he heard the word "baby". His mind was confused for a moment and his ears were still slightly numb.

"Mo Chuan, it's you." Shen Yao said in surprise.

"Yeah." Qi Yunxiao tried his best to stay calm and not let himself show the slightest bit of unnaturalness.

Behind him, Xichun, who had caught up a few steps slower, took the oil-paper umbrella from Mochuan with a smile, "Thank you, Guard Mochuan, I'll hold it for you, Miss."

Qi Yunxiao hummed and slowly let go of his hand.

After all, there are differences between men and women, and there is absolutely no reason for a guard to stand close to a young lady and hold an umbrella for her as they walk together.

"Miss, let's go." Xichun adjusted the height of the oil-paper umbrella to ensure that Shen Yao could be shaded to the greatest extent.

"Well, let's go." Shen Yao smiled, then raised her eyes to look at Qi Yunxiao, "Mo Chuan, you follow me too, I have something else to tell you when we get back."

Qi Yunxiao: "Okay."

......

After returning, Xichun asked the small kitchen to prepare some cool sweet water for Shen Yao, while Yuezhu went to think about the mosquito repellent sachet to take out later.

Suddenly, Shen Yao and Qi Yunxiao were the only ones left in the room.

Shen Yao felt that Xichun and Yuezhu were probably used to leaving space for themselves, and never thought too much or asked too many questions. Shen Yao liked their personalities very much.

"Come, have a cup of tea to cool down." Shen Yao glanced at the teacup on the table and motioned for him to pour it himself.

"Okay." Qi Yunxiao poured two cups, placed one cup next to her hand, and took the other cup to drink himself.

While he was drinking water, Shen Yao glanced at him casually and paused slightly.

Although he has not recovered his memory yet, the habits in his gestures are still engraved in his bones. Even drinking water seems a little different from other people.

Further down, the Adam's apple rolled...

ahem...

She looked away in time.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Shen Yao went straight to the point. "I will be traveling to Jiangnan with my mother. The journey will take quite a long time, at least half a month, and at most more than a month. I will bring some maids and guards with me. So, I want to ask you, if I want to take you with me, would you like to go with me?"

Qi Yunxiao: "Well, go."

Shen Yao thought to herself: That’s pretty straightforward.

However, "I still have to listen to my parents' opinions on the specific arrangements, so I'm just asking you now."

Qi Yunxiao: "Yeah, I know."

"Okay, I understand your thoughts, so let's leave it at that for now." Shen Yao thought of something else, "This morning I asked Ling Su to invite a doctor to my home to see you, what was the result? Have you recovered almost completely? Did the doctor say how long it would take to recover your memory?"

Qi Yunxiao recounted to Shen Yao the conversation he had with the doctor in the morning, but he paused when he mentioned that the doctor had prescribed another prescription for him.

Shen Yao was also a little confused. "Isn't it almost healed? I just need to wait for my memory to slowly recover. Why did you prescribe medicine? What does this medicine treat?"

Shen Yao was thinking that taking too much medicine would not be good for her.

When Qi Yunxiao thought about the effect of the prescription, which was to reduce noise and relieve internal heat, he felt that he couldn't say it out loud no matter what.

He thought about it and said something different: "That prescription is mainly used to help you sleep."

Fortunately, Shen Yao did not doubt anything and just briefly understood the situation and let it go.

Qi Yunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

......

royal palace.

The meeting hall.

As soon as Emperor Jingyuan finished reviewing the memorials, Eunuch Sun, who was waiting beside him, came forward and poured him some tea.

Emperor Jingyuan lifted the teacup to his lips, took a sip, then put it down and said in a deep voice, "How has the Queen been doing these days? Is she still worshipping Buddha behind closed doors and refusing to see me?"

Eunuch Sun was worried and said tactfully: "The Queen may miss the Second Prince too much..."

Emperor Jingyuan: "I understand. What about Concubine Xian? Is she calming down?"

Eunuch Sun replied, "Empress Xian hasn't come to deliver soup these days."

Emperor Jingyuan hummed, "If she comes again, she will still say that I am busy. She doesn't think about it. Can I appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince just by relying on her few bowls of soup? No matter how anxious you are, you have to have a plan. The second prince disappeared just now, and she showed her courtesy right after..."

Eunuch Sun didn't dare to say more, and only replied: "I can save myself the trouble."

"Well, let's serve the meal." Emperor Jingyuan stood up and said.

......

Cheng'an Marquis Mansion.

The trip to Jiangnan was soon made into a definite arrangement.

Shen Yao will bring Xichun, Yuezhu, Mochuan and Lingsu with her.

The Marquis’s wife brought more people with her than Shen Yao, and most of them were carefully selected by the Marquis.

The Marquis, of course, could not go with them on this trip because he had some official business to attend to at court, and could only see them off on the day of departure.

As soon as she got on the boat, Shen Yao began to feel dizzy. It seemed that this ancient ship was not very stable.
