Chapter 188 Premeditation 2
The next day, Jiang Li went to Yan Guihong's yard early in the morning.
The girl yawned listlessly, leaning back on the bamboo chair, still feeling a little sleepy.
Li Jinyuan got up even earlier than her. Perhaps to prepare for moving into the Eastern Palace, he took Yan Yu out early.
"Prince Chu is visiting!"
Mingda raised his voice to report, and Jiang Li in the room finally regained some of her senses.
As soon as Chu Changxuan entered the room, his eyes fell on the girl sitting by the window.
The golden sunlight fell on her hair, making her look holy and beautiful.
"See Crown Princess."
"Stop the ceremony!"
Jiang Li was still not used to receiving such generous gifts from others, especially from Chu Changxun who had helped her many times.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. The Crown Princess looks much healthier."
Chu Changxuan smiled gently with his lips curled up. Seeing that Jiang Li's cheeks, which had been thin, had become rosy and plump again, he finally felt relieved.
The girl smiled at him and poured him a cup of scented tea herself.
"Come sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you."
Chu Changxun sat opposite Jiang Li, while Yan Guihong sat between them, drinking tea slowly and showing no intention of interrupting.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Chu Changxun got straight to the point.
"I wonder if the Crown Princess has any plans to leave the capital?"
"I heard from Divine Doctor Yan that you were planning to leave during the chaos on New Year's Eve, but if there's no one to meet you at the city gate, it would be very difficult..."
Chu Changxun frowned, his tone filled with worry.
Jiang Li also pursed her lips. Obviously, she had no idea how difficult it would be to escape from the capital.
"Is it because of the intensity of the inspection by the soldiers at the city gate?"
Jiang Li's tone was surprised. Could it be that there would be more patrols on New Year's Eve?
"It's not just this, the most important thing is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"If he discovers you're missing, the entire capital will be surrounded in less than two hours."
Jiang Li opened her mouth in astonishment, somewhat surprised by Li Jinyuan's execution strength.
"What should we do then..."
The girl asked subconsciously, with her brows furrowed into a small hill.
Chu Changxun smiled reassuringly, his calm tone convincing.
"Don't worry, I can cover you out of the capital."
Jiang Li looked up at him, her frown showing no sign of relaxing.
"But...if you were discovered, your identity would make the situation very imaginative."
The smile on Chu Changxun's lips did not disappear, but instead became even bigger.
She didn't refuse, but she hesitated because she was worried about him...
"Don't worry about my status as a hostage. My five-year term was originally supposed to be in March next year, and I volunteered to serve as an imperial physician at the border. The Emperor, mindful of my meritorious service, has ended my term early."
"I am a free man now and can leave Beichen at any time."
Jiang Li was so surprised by the news that her eyes widened.
"Really!?"
This is truly the best reward for Chu Changxun. After living in fear in a foreign country for so many years, anyone would be excited to finally return to their hometown and see their relatives one day.
But Chu Changxu was not as happy as Jiang Li imagined.
All his joy now was because this incident could bring him the opportunity to get along with Jiang Li.
"So, do you want to go back to Dongli with me?"
