C152 Sun Sran (1/2)
When Qi He and the others returned to the inn, they didn't even have time to eat before they started discussing amongst themselves in the room.
”Princess, please don't be impulsive. Who is he? He is trying to provoke you.” Shen Yu thought that she had cut through everything, Chen Lin was definitely a hypocrite, it seemed that he had coveted his princess' beauty for a long time.
”I'm not stupid, how would I listen to him?”
Shen Yu then heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Shen Bao once again asked, ”Princess, since the method to recruit them has failed, what should we do next?”
Qi He's eyes dimmed. ”Not yet.”
This was especially true for Chen Lin. He was a stubborn old man who could not be convinced even after using all sorts of methods. Thus, he had no choice but to resort to this method in order to recruit people for the marriage.
Was this fate? As other people thought, he was born to be a troublemaker and could not do the right thing.
”Right, how much silver do we have left?” In total, it was only a hundred silver taels. The three of them could be considered to be living frugally. It was not known how much money they had left.
”Reporting to the princess, I only have ten taels left.” Shen Yu felt helpless.
”Ten taels …” Qi He sighed. ”Ten taels of silver is definitely not enough. You guys wait here while I sneak back to the mansion to get some private money.”
Actually, with her identity, she could have gotten the local officials to help, but her father was too ruthless and gave her a warning early on.
So poor Vi He had to live by tightening his belt.
It was said that the imperial princess had eaten her fill of spicy food. Now, it could be said that she had experienced a tough time.
”If so, if Prince finds out, I'm afraid …” Shen Bao was a little hesitant.
Qi He obviously wouldn't listen to his next words of advice, ”Aren't you stupid? Wouldn't it be fine if he didn't discover you?”
However, to steal money after returning home, this princess' actions were truly laughable.
Indeed, Qi and the horse returned to the imperial capital without stopping.
When he returned home, he naturally could not walk through the main entrance, nor could he alert his father.
Thus, she covered her face and sneaked in through the back door.
With her familiarity with the terrain, she quickly approached her room.
However, he had been careless and had been discovered by a sharp-eyed young eunuch.
”Who is it? ”Who's there?”
Wei He could only turn around and pull down the towel.
The other party cried out in alarm, ”Princess?”
Shouldn't the princess be in the silt? Why did she appear here?
Qi He hurriedly gestured for him to whisper, ”Shh, can we be quiet?”
This caused the little mistress to return home, as if she was a thief who was trying to steal from a dog.
Of course, this was also the innocence of Wei He.
However, it was different from Chen Xiao's innocence. That brat, Chen Xiao, always made people feel helpless.
The two of them came to a secluded place. Wei He still had some conscience and asked, ”How is father?”
”Mmm mmm mmm, the prince is very good.” The young eunuch nodded and replied sincerely.
Actually, everyone in the palace knew that Qi He had gone to the Scarlet Land, but they didn't know that the king had only given her 100 taels of silver to live on.
It wasn't that Qi He couldn't live a miserable life, but that he had to make a huge sacrifice if he wanted to take care of Chen Lin.
”Then where is royal father now?” This was an extremely crucial question. If her father was in the palace right now, then her movements would definitely be extremely inconvenient.
The eunuch lowered his voice. ”His Highness left this morning. I think he entered the palace. After all, he's currently at war and is busy with many things. So His Highness is also very busy.”
