341 Motive
Ning Yue was very confident in this guess, so she asked Jiang Ying if he wanted to take a look at the capital.
“I’m going. Yueyue, are you coming with me?” Jiang Ying asked.
As soon as he asked this, he regretted it. He shouldn’t let Ning Yue go with him.
Who knew if it would be dangerous to go to the capital this time? He couldn’t let Ning Yue take the risk with him.
“Yes, of course,” Ning Yue said.
She was worried about Jiang Ying going to the capital alone.
Facing Ning Yue’s gaze, Jiang Ying sighed heavily.
Ning Yue was also a little worried. She was worried about the crown prince’s condition.
Although she had a guess in her heart, it was only a guess and she could not be sure, so she wanted to follow Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying frowned, but before he could say anything, Ning Yue said, “Alright, you don’t have to worry about me. It just so happens that I have to investigate something. If you don’t let me follow you, I’ll bring Baili and Yun Duo over myself.”
At this point, Jiang Ying had no choice but to agree. He knew very well that Ning Yue was a person who meant what she said.
If he didn’t let her go, she would really do something to sneak over.
The two of them left after informing their families. Jiang Huan was also extremely worried.
For no reason, Prince Jin had been framed. The emperor and crown prince did not know what was going on.
He wanted to go to the capital with Jiang Ying and Ning Yue, but he was stopped by Ning Yue. “You’re a prince. You can’t leave the fief without being summoned by the emperor. Jiang Ying is different. He’s my fiancé. My uncle is still there. It’s reasonable for me to bring him there.”
Jiang Huan sighed. “I was old and muddle-headed. I almost made a mistake. The two of you have to be careful when you go over.”
“Don’t worry. My uncle is still there. He won’t let anything happen to us,” Ning Yue said.
It was also because Yuan Hui was still around that Ning Yue dared to let Jiang Ying go over. Of course, all of this was under the circumstances that Ning Yue followed him.
Otherwise, with his status as the heir of Prince Jiang Yingjin, he could not enter the capital at will without the emperor’s summons.
This trip took up a lot of time, and Ning Yue’s plans could not be carried out as usual.
To their surprise, as soon as Ning Yue left, something happened.
Ping was extremely anxious. The new boss had yet to officially start running the Fenghua Pavilion, but someone was already eyeing it.
She had no choice but to ask Liu Lian for help.
Liu Lian didn’t say anything. He just said to Ping, “The new boss isn’t around. It’s useless no matter what we do. Let’s leave it at that. In any case, the deed is in your hands. Those people will at most smash the Fenghua Pavilion and cause us no real harm.”
Ping almost rolled her eyes at him. Was smashing the Fenghua Pavilion not considered substantial damage?
“But the new boss has just placed the things she bought in the Fenghua Pavilion. If anything happens, how will I explain it?” Ping asked.
Liu Lian smiled. “Isn’t that simple? Send someone over to guard it.”
“Where can I find someone during this period of time?” Ping was extremely anxious.
“Can’t you just go to Ning Yue’s house, reveal your identity and explain the situation to them? Oh right, you shouldn’t go to Ning Yue’s house, but to Jiang Ying’s house. Prince Jin is still living there.”
When Ping heard this, she did not suspect Liu Lian’s intentions. She only felt that what he said was a good idea and quickly packed up to go to Jiang Ying’s house.
Initially, Jiang Huan did not want to see Ping, because Ping was the madam of the Fenghua Pavilion. If he saw her, there might be rumors.
However, this Ping had said that the Fenghua Pavilion was Ning Yue and Jiang Ying’s business, so he and Xin Xin had no choice but to see her.
At this moment, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying were already on their way to the capital. In order to travel, they never stopped to rest.
If they were hungry, they would eat some dry food. If they were thirsty, they would drink some water. Other than needing to stop the carriage to relieve themselves, they spent the rest of his time in the carriage.
It took them two days to reach the capital. The first thing they did when they entered the capital was not to return to Ning Yue or Prince Jin’s Residence to recuperate. Instead, they entered the palace.
When the guard saw that it was Jiang Ying and Ning Yue, he hurriedly invited them into the palace.
Seeing the guard’s attitude towards her and Jiang Ying, Ning Yue suddenly confirmed her guess.
This attack was very likely thought of by the emperor and the crown prince themselves, but Ning Yue could not guess their motive.
