The next day was the day when Wang Qing and his family set out for exile.

Su Lingyue asked Yunting to withdraw some silver to bribe the yamen runners to treat Wang Yirong nicely.

He also gave Wang Yirong some clothes, money and food so that her journey would not be too difficult.

As for the follow-up matters, Yun Ting said that they could only wait until the storm had passed before finding a way to get rid of Wang Yirong.

Yunting didn't return to the palace until almost noon.

Su Lingyue asked: "Didn't they set out early in the morning? Why did it take so long? What happened?"

Yun Ting nodded, "Something happened, and the yamen runners delayed us for some time."

"what's up?"

"Early in the morning, Dian took the opportunity to strangle Wang Jingshu to death, and then she herself died by hitting a pillar. The Dali Temple needs to issue a written document and let the yamen runners go back to report."

"..."

The embroidery in Su Lingyue's hand fell to the ground.

She was shocked. Yesterday, Dian had begged them so much, looking so afraid of death. She didn't expect that she would end her life in such a tragic way, and also ended Wang Jingshu's life.

Seeing her like this, Caiyi hurriedly put down the embroidery in her hand and checked on Su Lingyue's condition.

"Miss, are you scared?" After asking Su Lingyue, Caiyi looked at Yun Ting and blamed him, "How could Guard Yun tell Miss such a cruel thing? Miss has been spoiled since she was a child, how could she listen to such things!"

Yun Ting saw Su Lingyue's stunned look and began to blame himself. He explained awkwardly, "I thought the princess would be happy to know the retribution of the Wang family, so..."

"Guard Yun, don't mention it again. The young lady is so scared!" Caiyi interrupted Yun Ting before he finished speaking and patted Su Lingyue's back gently.

After filming for a while, Caiyi poured another cup of hot tea for Su Lingyue.

After drinking the hot tea, Su Lingyue's face showed some color.

Coming back to her senses, Su Lingyue forced a smile to comfort Caiyi, "I'm fine, but I didn't expect Dian to go to such lengths for Wang Jingshu. I was shocked. She was begging for mercy from me and my cousin yesterday."

Seeing that Su Lingyue was fine, Yun Ting's expression returned to normal, "It's just a personal matter, Princess, don't take it to heart."

Su Lingyue was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is Wang Qing?"

Yun Ting said: "The yamen runners took it away in a bullock cart, so it might not make it to Ningguta."

Everything is really settled.

The best outcome is that my uncle is safe.

At this moment, she remembered what Wang Yirong had asked her to do, so she said to Yun Ting, "Guard Yun, I need to go out of the house after lunch. Please make arrangements for me."

Yun Ting was about to agree, but suddenly thought of what happened yesterday, so he suppressed the thought of agreeing and said calmly: "Princess, this is against the rules. The prince has instructed that the princess and the people around her cannot leave the palace."

Su Lingyue paused.

It’s against the rules!

Isn’t this what she said to Yun Ting yesterday?

How could it be improper for her, the mistress of a palace, to hold the arm of the prince's guard?

Besides, Yun Ting's stabbing of her with the sword almost took her life. She just didn't pursue it, but she never forgot it.

What does it mean that he is now using what happened last night to block her?

Could it be that he thought that I despised him and hurt his self-esteem?

There is still more than a month left. If Su Lingyue wants to leave the house, she can only get Yun Ting's consent.

She felt it necessary to explain everything to Yun Ting so as not to delay her trip.

Su Lingyue paused, brewing her emotions, and tried to explain in a calm tone: "Guard Yun, I didn't mean anything yesterday. Helping the master to get on the carriage is what servants do. You are the prince's guard, and your status is different. How can I humiliate you like this when the prince is not around? So, don't think too much."

"Princess, you are worrying too much. Asking you to leave the house yesterday was a violation of the prince's order. I dare not do it again today. If you have anything to do, you can just ask me to do it." Yun Ting said calmly, his face was indifferent and distant, just like usual.

There was nothing wrong with Yunting's explanation, but Su Lingyue always felt that he was still angry because she did not hold his arm when she got on the carriage yesterday.

I didn't expect that he would be such a narrow-minded and petty person.

Su Lingyue held her breath and threatened, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will come back and I will tell him that you let me out of the palace yesterday? If you let me out once, you will let me out twice, so why don't you just turn a blind eye?"

Yun Ting's face remained calm. "I have already made a mistake once. If the prince wants to punish me, I will accept the punishment, but I must not make the same mistake a second time. Princess, please tell me what you want to do."

Seeing Yun Ting's refusal to obey any threats, Su Lingyue felt extremely depressed.

She went out not only to fulfill Wang Yirong's wish, but also to help Zhao Xingzhou's father find a massage master.

Judging from Zhao Xingzhou's appearance last time, it was impossible that he had no idea about Wang Yirong's exile. Su Lingyue was worried, and she wanted to meet Zhao Xingzhou in person.

But looking at Yunting's expression, he was determined not to let her go out.

Su Lingyue turned around and didn't look at Yunting. She ordered in a cold voice: "Go to Yanzhi Lane and find someone named Chen Po. Tell her that Wang Yirong asked her to find a massage master to go to the Zhao Mansion to massage Mr. Zhao who had a stroke. Hide your identity and don't tell Zhao Xingzhou that Wang Yirong asked the person to go there. Tell the massage master not to tell either."

Yun Ting replied respectfully, "Yes," and then turned and walked out of the Furong Pavilion hall.

Su Lingyue twisted her handkerchief angrily, "This Yun Ting really pissed me off! It's all Xiao Yu's fault. He's been gone for two months, and the people who stayed behind don't even take me, the princess, seriously!"

Caiyi looked at Su Lingyue's angry expression and comforted her softly, "Miss, don't be angry. This is also good."

"What's good about it? I can't even enter and leave my own home freely!" Su Lingyue was still twisting her handkerchief angrily.

Caiyi said, "Everything that happened in the capital recently was very scary, and the prince was also concerned about the young lady's safety. If something happened to the young lady, the prince would be very sad, right?"

"Besides, it's freezing outside, why would you go out and blow the cold wind? It's so warm in Hibiscus Pavilion, you can just embroider the handkerchief here with peace of mind. If there's anything, just let Yun Ting, the taciturn guy, run errands. Letting him suffer from the cold can be considered a punishment."

Caiyi's advice worked, Su Lingyue nodded, "That's right! If you don't let me go out, let him handle the Zhao family's affairs. As long as he doesn't mind the trouble, let him run errands."

More than a hundred miles away, Xiao Yu was lying in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest, when he suddenly felt his nose itchy, so he sniffed through the handkerchief.

Doctor Lu saw this and asked, "But it's cold?"

Xiao Yu said: "It's not cold, but my nose is a little itchy."

Yan Qing was leaning against the wall of the carriage in a depressed mood. After hearing what Xiao Yu said, he suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "I heard that if someone mentions your name behind your back, you will sneeze. Maybe it's because King Jing is cursing people out of anger."

Doctor Lu chuckled, "He didn't sneeze, maybe someone just scolded him."

After saying that, he looked meaningfully at the handkerchief in Xiao Yu's hand.

Yan Qing thought for a moment and said, "Princess?"

Xiao Yu unconsciously curled his lips as he listened, "Maybe."

Doctor Lu knew who he was referring to, and said jokingly with a smile: "After the young lady married you, she was almost inseparable from you. This time she has been away for two months, and she must miss you all alone in the empty room. If she didn't, you would be anxious."

Xiao Yu responded indifferently, gently stroking the snow handkerchief in his hand with his fingertips.
