Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 968 Listen to Dad's Arrangements

Chen Xiyun thought about it carefully and felt that Yun Qiongying's words made a lot of sense, so he nodded in agreement immediately. Then he briefly talked to her about some trivial matters and sent her out of the general's mansion.

When he could no longer see the carriage, Chen Xiyun returned to his room worriedly.

These days, Chen Changli has been keeping vigil during the day and going out to do things at night to avoid the people who are monitoring the general's mansion.

As Chen Changli's most trusted daughter, Chen Xiyun knew what Chen Changli was busy with, so Chen Changli was not at home at the moment.

Whatever worries and doubts she had, she had to keep them to herself for the time being and could not go to find Chen Changli, otherwise it would easily alert the enemy.

However, Yun Qiongying's arrival made Chen Xiyun feel very depressed.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and only fell into a light sleep at dawn.

Chen Xiyun slept until noon and finally woke up because of something he was worried about.

When she woke up, she realized she had missed the wake and her face turned pale.

At this time, Wang Xiaohui came in with white porridge.

Seeing that she was also at home, Chen Xiyun was slightly surprised, "Second sister-in-law, why are you at home?"

"You didn't wake up for a long time today, so I was a little worried about you, so I stayed at home to take care of you." Wang Xiaohui said as she handed her the porridge and continued.

"Xiyun, I see that there are dark circles under your eyelids. I think you must be tired. The Queen's funeral will not be over for more than half a month. By the time the funeral is over, I don't know how many people in Luoyang City will be sick."

Normally speaking, when keeping vigil for the Queen, no matter if they were court officials, their wives or their daughters, they were not allowed to ask for leave to rest at home.

The reason why Chen Xiyun was able to stay at home was that after the Crown Princess heard the news, she deliberately cooperated with Wu Qiaoyue to conceal the matter.

Wang Xiaohui stayed at home to take care of Chen Xiyun. At first, she was worried that the emperor would find out that they were away and punish the general's mansion.

Only after receiving the news from the Crown Princess did she feel at ease and stay at home.

Now that Chen Xiyun asked about it, Wang Xiaohui briefly told her the whole story. She then thought of the wake and a layer of melancholy crept across her brows.

Chen Xiyun drank a few mouthfuls of the porridge and felt that his hunger was much better. Then he thought about what Wang Xiaohui said.

Thinking about what might happen in Luoyang City half a month later, Chen Xiyun said, "Tell the doctors in the clinic to stock up on more medicinal materials and recruit a few more apprentices."

Wang Xiaohui nodded hurriedly when she heard this: "I'll ask the doctors at the clinic to prepare. Don't worry about it. Just drink your porridge."

Chen Xiyun finished her porridge obediently, and then asked about Chen Changli. Knowing that he was still in the palace, she felt heavy-hearted.

Wang Xiaohui noticed that her expression was not right, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Xiyun, what are you worried about? Although I am not as smart as you, I am better at hiding things than my sister-in-law. I will definitely do my best to help you so that you don't have to worry about anything."

After finishing her words in one breath, Wang Xiaohui looked at Chen Xiyun with burning eyes, hoping that she could ask her for help.

Chen Xiyun couldn't help but laugh when she met Wang Xiaohui's burning gaze.

She put the empty bowl aside and said gently, "Sister-in-law, if I have any problems, I will definitely ask you for help and won't let you just stand there and watch."

When Wang Xiaohui heard her say this, her tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

Chen Xiyun noticed something and realized that she was worried about her, so she immediately said some nice things to her, asking her to take care of other things while she had a good rest.

At the hour of You, Chen Changli returned from the palace. Chen Xiyun hurriedly dressed and went to see Chen Changli.

"Did the Crown Princess say something to you?" Seeing Chen Xiyun running towards him in a hurry, Chen Changli knew that she had something to tell him without even asking.

Chen Xiyun was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Dad, did you also place people in the palace?"

Chen Changli nodded: "I did arrange some people, but your majesty has a strong control over the palace, and my people are just lurking."

After saying this, Chen Changli frowned slightly. He had been busy arranging for the people from the Ye Mansion and the Lin Mansion to leave Luoyang City these days, and had not paid much attention to the affairs of the palace.

However, he had received news about the Crown Princess's visit to Princess An Qing. Thinking of how Princess An Qing had played tricks on the Crown Princess, he knew clearly that the two would not put aside their past grudges and cooperate unless they had a common enemy.

He ignored the matter and just quickly arranged for people to leave.

After two busy days, he had almost arranged everything for the Ye and Lin families, and finally he could relax.

"Princess An Qing has been trapped in the cold palace by your majesty since the queen's death. She is surrounded by guards. Your majesty could not hide the fact that the crown princess went to see her."

Although the people Chen Changli arranged in the palace could not make any obvious moves, they could pass messages to each other and let Chen Changli know some small things.

He had no idea what the Crown Princess discussed with Princess An Qing, but he knew that they had met, and he also knew clearly that this matter could not be hidden from the Emperor.

"No wonder the Crown Princess only allowed Miss Yun to see me. I think she guessed this, so she was being cautious."

After hearing what Chen Changli said, Chen Xiyun suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and then asked worriedly: "Dad, will His Majesty deliberately use this matter to defeat the Crown Princess?"

Chen Changli shook his head: "Before the Queen's funeral is over, even if His Majesty has many ideas and calculations, he will not put them into action."

"Why?" Chen Xiyun was puzzled.

Chen Changli did not explain, but said, "Princess An Qing has started to act, she must have noticed something. Xiyun, you should take Chunchan and the others out of Luoyang City tomorrow night. My people will meet you outside, and you should head to Bashu as soon as you meet up."

"What about mother and you?" Chen Xiyun did not refuse when she heard Chen Changli's arrangement. On the contrary, she was very happy to accept it. After all, if she and Wu Qiaoyue and others stayed in Luoyang City, they would only hinder Chen Changli and his wife.

Although Chen Xiyun really wanted to help and make Chen Changli and his wife feel more at ease, she had a clear understanding of herself.

She knew that even if she took Wu Qiaoyue and others to work hard, when the emperor took action, they would only implicate Chen Changli.

For this reason, when she heard that Chen Changli was going to arrange for them to leave, she didn't need to weigh the pros and cons, she knew what to do to be best for everyone.

But even though she knew this was a good thing, she was still worried that Wan Shufang and Chen Changli would continue to be trapped in Luoyang City.

"Once you have safely left Luoyang City, I will go find your mother and help her expose Prince Rong's conspiracy. Finally, I will have someone escort her to Bashu to find you."

Chen Changli saw the worry in Chen Xiyun's eyes and hurried to comfort her.

Upon hearing that Chen Changli had made arrangements, Chen Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "We will all follow Dad's arrangements, but if we leave, who will be there to keep vigil? There are many people in the palace who are cunning, and I'm afraid they will find out that we're not here as soon as we see each other."
