“Mother Superior.”
The third prince stepped forward and knelt on the ground, his eyes red.
Consort Shu didn’t dare to believe it, and she raised her hand to rub her eyes.
The Third Prince was still there!
She flung herself over and hugged, unable to stop herself from trembling, “You, how did you come back? Does your father know?”
After she was sent to the cold palace, although her treatment looked the same as before, she didn’t know any news from outside.
“Father summoned me back.”
Concubine Shu’s tense heart loosened and she looked at the Third Prince carefully. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, she shed a tear, “He has lost weight and darkened, my son has suffered.”
“Your Majesty ……”
The Steward Sister reminded with red eyes on the side, “The Third Prince is still kneeling.”
Consort Shu hastily helped the man up, only then did she remember Wu Jin and choked up as she shouted, “Big brother.”
As long as the Emperor still had his sister in his heart, the Wu family would not be defeated and the Third Prince would definitely be able to take that position.
“It’s good that your majesty is fine, in the future, if anything happens again, have someone send me a letter in advance, these days, I’ve been worried sick.”
But after all, she had been sent to the cold palace, so she couldn’t send a message to the outside world.
When they were seated, Consort Shu looked at the Third Prince, “Why have you suddenly returned?”
“I was worried about Mother Consort.”
Even if the Emperor had given him a letter saying that his mother consort was well, he could not let go of his heart. The Ding Guo Mansion had fallen and his mother consort was his last hope, he had to see with his own eyes that she was really well before he could rest assured, so he begged his father to come back and take a look.
“Your father didn’t treat me badly, I had the place cleaned up the first day I came in, that b*tch Consort Xiao, I won’t let her go.”
“Father placed Consort Mother here for her protection, you must not act rashly, as long as my son finds out where Chu Yunxiao is, Consort Xiao Xian will be at your disposal then.”
“Haven’t you found out yet?”
Consort Shu was a little anxious, it had been more than half a year since then.
The Third Prince shook his head, he had secretly investigated many places during these half a year, and had not been able to find any traces about Chu Yunxiao.
“If we can’t find out, we’ll force him to come out.”
Wu Jin spoke grimly from the side, “We can just make use of Song Wangyue’s opportunity to move south.”
……
On the second day of the third month, five carriages set off from in front of the Xu residence, heading towards the docks, followed by ten guards, all in high spirits and with straight backs, causing people passing by to look over.
The carriages stopped at the entrance to the pier and the people on them got off. Song Wan Yue and Song Lin supported the old man, Xu and Wu supported Meng, Daya, Er Ya, Jin Hao and Huang Yu carried a small amount of things, and Xu Liang stood by the carriages, waiting for the guards to carry all the things on the carriages to the boat.
Wang Wu had been waiting by the boat for a long time, and when he saw Song Wan Yue coming, he quickly greeted her, he was a rough man and naturally did not know the old man, he only greeted Song Wan Yue, “Miss Song.”
“There are people and quite a lot of things at the back, ask your people to give a hand to carry them over.”
Wang Wu answered and greeted a few people to help carry the things, and he personally led a few people onto the boat.
The boat was long and he walked on it like it was flat, but the men behind him were trembling. Song Lin, in particular, was so nervous that his whole body tensed up as he went up on the trembling board for the first time in his life.
Erma was also on a boat for the first time and was so surprised that she ran on the deck with her hands open, scaring Da Ya into shouting at her, “Stop, don’t fall off!”
“Big sister, don’t worry, I won’t fall off.”
Erma’s voice was cheerful.
Big Sister tried to go after her to stop her, but her legs were so weak that she could not take a step.
Huang Yu was no better than her, and Jin Hao saw it in his eyes, but he couldn’t help her in front of so many people.
Song San and others did not feel anything, after carrying the things to the boat, rare to look around, see Master Chu far over, have waved, “Master, here.”
Master Chu came over towards this side and got into the boat.
Inside the cabin, Song Wangyue gave the autonomous seasickness medicine to the people separately, heard the shouts of the people, knew that Master Chu had also come up, came out from the cabin and told Wang Wu, “It’s okay to sail.”
“Good!”
Wang Wu answered in a loud voice, pulling out his voice.
“Let’s sail!”
As he shouted, the boat moved slowly and soon sailed into the waterway.
Song Wangyue gave a bottle of seasickness medicine to Song San and asked him to distribute it to the crowd. She took Master Chu inside the room prepared for her and did not ask where Master Chu had been these days. Seeing her face you weary, she did not stay much longer, “Master take a good rest.”
Master Chu nodded his head.
Song Wangyue closed the door and exited, going to the old man’s room.
The old gentleman was in high spirits, and asked Xu Liang to set up the chess board, greeting Song Wan Yue with a game, saying as he dropped the pieces, “Twenty years have passed, and I don’t know what has become of Jiangnan.”
“We’ll see soon.”
“That’s right, soon we’ll be able to see it, but unfortunately my in-laws are all gone.”
When he had been saved by Master Meng at first sight, he had helped his eldest son to ask for Meng’s hand in marriage.
Thinking of his eldest son, his hand that dropped his son paused.
Song Wan Yue saw it in her eyes and knew that he had remembered something, so she untraceably changed the subject, “I heard from my uncle grandfather that the scenery in Jiangnan is beautiful and very nurturing, so we have nothing to do in the capital anyway, so we might as well stay there for more days.”
“Yes, as long as you accompany your maternal great-grandfather, maternal great-grandfather can stay there.”
In the next room, Song Lin only felt his heart bobbing along with the boat, it was very hard to bear and he hurriedly lay down.
“Not feeling well?”
Xu saw and asked in a soft voice.
Song Lin shook his head, “It’s fine, I’ll be fine after a nap.”
Xu didn’t say any more, pulling the thin quilt off to one side and covering him with it, keeping watch over the bed, holding his hand.
Song Lin held it back, gripping it a little tighter.
Xu pursed the corners of her mouth, he did not expect Song Lin to be seasick, fortunately Yue’er had prepared seasickness pills for his marriage proposal, otherwise he would have suffered these days on the road.
Inside the house, Meng asked Sister Wu to cut up some fruit for everyone to eat. Sister Wu finished cutting up the fruit and came out just in time to see Er Ya pulling Da Ya on the deck and called out to them, asking them to bring four plates of fruit for everyone to eat.
The ten guards were all on the deck, all on the boat for the first time in their lives, and all of them were very curious. When they saw Daya carrying the fruit, Song San went over to pick it up, just as the boat lurched, Daya’s body tilted and almost fell over.
Da Ya shook her head with a red face, stepped back a little, shoved the plate in her hand into his and turned around to walk back.
Song San scratched his head and didn’t care, greeting the crowd as they came over to eat.
