Chapter 576： Set off

Chapter 576 Departure

“When I went to pay New Year’s greetings, I left an address and a letter for my father, and asked him to go there and pick up some weapons besides armor.”

"Sister, you actually gave my father so many things! Why didn't you just take them to the house, but let my father get them himself?" Wei Yilin was puzzled.

"Some things are better if fewer people know about them." Wei Ruo patted Wei Yilin's head, "When I meet you later, talk less to me, and tell me less about me."

 “Why? Doesn’t the eldest sister like the eldest brother?”

"Why do you have so many questions? I seem to have just settled the differences with you, right?"

“But we are siblings! We are connected by blood! My eldest brother said that blood relations are engraved in our bones and are innate!”

Wei Ruo shook his head and thought to himself that Wei Yichen was seriously injured by Wei Qingwan, and he began to look for the reason in his bloodline.

 Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin returned to the front yard living room.

 Wei Yichen was already waiting for them in the hall.

 Wei Ruo deliberately examined Wei Yichen's expression, because Wei Yichen should have met his second brother just now, so he should have learned something about them.

However, there was nothing unusual about Wei Yichen's expression, and it was impossible to read any information from his expression, so Wei Ruo had no choice but to give up.

"Princess Rui, it's getting late, so we won't chatter anymore. My brother and I will say goodbye here." Wei Yichen said goodbye to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo had no one to save his life and sent the two brothers away.

“Sister, I will come to see you off on the day you set off!” Wei Yilin walked outside the door, then turned back and shouted to Wei Ruo.

 When Wei Ruo goes to Jiliao, I don’t know what year or month it will be when they meet again.

 If it’s not a coincidence, it may be difficult to see him again in this life.

Thinking of this, Wei Yilin's eyes turned red with sadness.

 Wei Ruo waved his hand at him.

Wei Yilin also waved his hand, then turned back three times with one step, and walked out of the palace reluctantly.

 After the two left, Wei Ruo came to Wei Jinyi's study.

Wei Jin seemed to know that Wei was coming and had already prepared tea in advance.

Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Second brother and I are becoming more and more in tune with each other."

Wei Jin also explained: "I asked Wei Yichen to come over to meet me. You probably came because you want to know the content of my conversation with him."

Wei Ruodao: "Yes, I am a little curious about what you said to him and how he reacted when he saw you."

 Wei Ruo had not doubted Wei Jinyi's decision. She came to ask just out of curiosity.

"His reaction was not big. Although he was surprised when he saw me, he quickly came to his senses and said that he had expected that I was not dead, but he didn't expect that Prince Rui and I were the same person." Wei Jin Also Tao.

Wei Jin also told Wei Ruo: "He asked me if I really didn't have any intention of competing for the throne. After learning that I didn't, he told me to take good care of you."

After listening to this, Wei Ruo felt slightly touched in his heart.

 Then Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi: "Now that he knows your identity, what is his plan?"

 “He said he would pretend he didn’t know.”

 But it is difficult to judge Wei Yichen's attitude from his answer.

Wei Ruo thought for a while and asked, "Does the second brother think he is trustworthy?"

"Now he attaches great importance to the interests of the family, and my father is involved in it. No matter whether he is subjectively willing or not, he will not stand against me. As for how he will choose me in this imperial power struggle. Ask."

 “Okay, I understand.”

After asking about Wei Yichen, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Second brother, can we have dinner together later?"

Wei Ruo was a little embarrassed, but still chose to ask.

 In the previous period, except for special circumstances, the two of them ate separately. But in order to express his gratitude to Wei Jinyi with practical actions, Wei Ruo plans to take Wei Jinyi with him when cooking in the next period of time. I don’t know if he is willing or not.

Wei Jin did not answer immediately, so Wei Ruo quickly added: "Of course, if the second brother prefers to eat alone, then just pretend that I haven't mentioned it."

 “I am willing.” Wei Jin also replied.

 “Then…let’s eat together later.”

 After saying that, Wei Ruo quickly turned around and left Wei Jinyi's study.

Wei Ruo, who came outside the door, couldn't help but complain about himself in his heart.

Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo, why are you so embarrassed?

 Why don’t you just invite your second brother to have dinner with you later? What can there be? Did we eat less together before?

 Don’t do this again next time!

　　###

 In the next ten days, Wei Ruo was busy packing things and arranging business matters.

 During this period, besides the Wei brothers, many people also came to visit her.

For example, Xie Ying, and other members of Qunfang Club.

Of course Qi Shijing and Wei Qingwan are also indispensable among them. They came on behalf of Prince Yu's Mansion and gave Wei Ruo some gifts.

Wei Ruo met them, but he only exchanged a few polite words with Qi Shijing, and ignored Wei Qingwan from beginning to end.

And Wei Qingwan also looked like a little daughter-in-law, with her head lowered and not saying much. She also looked at her belly from time to time, looking very nervous about the child in her belly.

　　Without a few words of conversation, Wei Ruo excused the two of them away on the pretext of feeling unwell.

　　###

 The first day of February.

 Prince Rui’s Mansion has been repaired from top to bottom and is ready to go.

 Before departure, Wei Jin also brought Wei Ruo into the palace to meet the emperor.

Wei Ruo sent another large box of medicine to the emperor, asking him to keep it for future use.

 She sincerely hopes that the emperor can live a few more years. The longer he lives, the longer she and her second brother can live a comfortable life.

 The emperor also privately gave some rewards to Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo.

When they finally separated, Wei Ruo saw that the emperor's eyes were red, and he looked at Wei Jinyi with deep reluctance.

Even though he was reluctant to give up, he still chose to let Wei Jinyi go to the fiefdom. I think the emperor must have felt that this was a good way to protect Wei Jinyi.

 After coming out of the palace, Wei Ruo and others officially set off.

A group of hundreds of people, sixteen carriages, and dozens of horses, a mighty team set off from Prince Rui's Mansion and headed towards the East City Gate.

 On the wall of the East Gate.

 Two slender figures stood facing the cold wind.

One person is wearing black clothes, and the other is wearing dark clothes.

The black one on the left is Chu Lan, and the dark one on the right is Lu Yuhong.

Lu Yuhong did not come with Chu Lan. He came to watch Wei Ruo leave the city. He happened to meet Chu Lan at the city gate and went with him.

If Wei had a life-saving grace from Lu Yuhong, she was leaving Beijing, and he would come to see her off both emotionally and rationally.

However, Lu Yuhong knew that he was a foreigner and did not meet Wei Ruo directly to avoid being blamed. Therefore, he had previously sent gifts to Prince Rui's Mansion in the name of his grandmother, and today he came to the city gate to watch her leave.

“Are you really attracted to Princess Rui?” Lu Yuhong asked Chu Lan beside him.

The inside story of Princess Jing poisoning Princess Rui is unknown to outsiders, but the Lu family knows it.
