One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

After returning to the mansion, he didn't waste any time. Shen Ninghua went to check up on the two children while listening to Bi Zhu and Bai Yu's report.

"Miss, all the items have been sealed and stored in the treasury, and the stores in the capital and nearby shops have also all been closed off."

Bai Yan added, "All the things that we need to prepare for the Northwest Passage will be prepared according to the instructions given by the young lady. We can set off at any time."

Shen Ninghua nodded. She reached out and touched the soft faces of the two children, "The princes need to bring their own people. With the four of you, the two wet nurses, Liu Yun, and Xia Ruoqin, there shouldn't be too many people here. As for Xuan Lin, have you finished packing? "

"Miss, young master is already prepared. Flowing Cloud is watching."

Shen Ninghua nodded. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around to see Baili Junyi walking in. His eyes were warm as he asked, "Are you ready?"

"Mm, I've already prepared everything. I've already written a letter and sent it to royal father. Let's go."

Shen Ninghua nodded. She and Baili Junyi each held two children in their arms, and the two of them left the pavilion in large strides.

The doors and windows were closed and the courtyard door was closed. Looking at this place which had been lived in for a long time, Shen Ninghua's eyes couldn't help but tear up. This was her home, yet she had no choice but to leave.

Baili Junyi put her arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll be back in no time."

Shen Ninghua smiled and said with a tone full of emotion, "Yes, you've personally designed everything here. Naturally, you can't just abandon it. When we come back, we still have to live here."

"Alright, don't worry. If anyone dares to point a finger at us, I will chop them into pieces."

Shen Ninghua couldn't help chuckling. "You're a duke now, and you still have that much prestige?"

Baili Junyi let out a sigh of relief upon seeing her laugh. "Although I'm a duke, my wife is Princess Gongyun. She's also a prince. My son and daughter are Bei Zi and princess at such a young age. Who dares to look down on me?"

Shen Ninghua's smile grew even wider as she lowered her head to look at her son and said, "Son, you have to grow up faster. Wait until your father is demoted again, then you'll need to protect him."

"Alright," she said with a laugh. "Let's go."

Shen Ninghua's identity as a princess wasn't just for show. She didn't have many bodyguards with her, but she still had five hundred. With the addition of Baili Junyi, who was one of the three hundred bodyguards, the addition and reduction of this team was quite spectacular. Even though they walked on the most desolate path, it still attracted many people to come out and spectate.

The attendant took the letter and quickly ran to Baili Qingfeng's bedroom. He was stopped by the attendant, "What are you looking like in a panic?"

"Lord Head Steward, Duke Yi sent a letter over just now saying that he would not come to say goodbye to the emperor in case he feels sad. He has already packed his belongings and left the city."

The head attendant took the envelope and glanced at the words written on it. "The emperor just slept for a short while. Yesterday, he had to work all night. After a while, our family will personally send it to the emperor. You may leave."

"But, Head Supervisor, it looks like Duke Yi and the princess are about to leave the city."

"Got it, you can leave now."

"... "Yes."

When the attendant left, the Head Attendant let out a light sigh. Thinking of the request from Duke Yi and stuffing the envelope into his sleeve, he concluded that it was about time. Thus, he walked into the chamber to report to Baili Qingfeng.

When Baili Qing was woken up, he felt a headache coming on. When he saw the letter, he sighed, "This Emperor knows about these two children. You can leave now."

These two children were expressing their heartfelt love to him.

Shen Ninghua sat inside the carriage. The interior of the carriage was extremely spacious. On the already fixed table, there were dishes and tea placed on it. Beside the table, there was a small stove that was currently boiling hot water. Bai Yan took a soft pillow and placed it behind Shen Ninghua. "Miss, we've already left the city."

Shen Ninghua nodded. Looking at the two little fellows sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and clench their tightly clenched fists. "These two little guys are really generous. I only know they slept soundly."

Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Miss, we came out in too much of a hurry. Although we've tried our best to prepare everything, it's still not comparable to the capital in the northwest. Can the two young masters get used to it?"

Shen Ninghua gave a faint smile and said with an almost imperceptible sigh, "You want to ask why we have to leave the capital, right?"

Bai Yu nodded with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, "Yes, your servant has thought for a long time, but has not been able to understand the intentions of Miss and the Duke."

"Actually, it is both complicated and simple. We have offended more than half of the officials in the court, so we are afraid of their revenge. On the other hand, we are also afraid that this matter has exposed too many things. "

"Too much exposure?" Bai Yan didn't understand.

"Hmm, how do you think we would know the secrets of those officials without a thorough investigation, and even accurately lead the Dragon Scale Guards to the location where the money is hidden?"

"Miss, you're saying that the emperor would feel fear if he knew about this?" Bai Yan was suddenly enlightened.

Shen Ninghua slightly sighed, "Right now, Imperial Father is too angry and shocked, and is unable to recall this point. Those officials were also temporarily frightened, but they did not expect that from this point on, once they came back to their senses, it would not be easy for us to leave the capital."

"That's right, why didn't this servant understand this point?"

Shen Ninghua smiled, "There's nothing bad about leaving. I've been scheming in the capital for so long, it's good for me to relax now." "Besides, our boss and Xiaobao are still too young. We can't always stay by their side. They won't be able to talk or fight back. If someone tries to take advantage of us, Jun Yi and I will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Bai Yu nodded. If these two good young masters were to be harmed, they wouldn't be able to forgive themselves, let alone the princes and young misses who put the young masters at the tip of their hearts.

Once they were out of the city, Baili Junyi dismounted from her horse and entered the carriage. After Bai Yan and his men packed their things, they headed to the smaller carriage at the back, not disturbing the two masters.

Baili Junyi looked at the two children, then gently embraced Shen Ninghua. "Ninghua, I've let you and your son suffer."

Shen Ninghua closed her eyes and smiled, "What's so bitter about it?"

"If I hadn't insisted on suppressing the bad weather in the imperial court, you wouldn't have had to take the risk with me."

Shen Ninghua slightly opened her eyes and snorted.

"What? Are you already here to snatch my contribution?" It's not your own idea to punish those officials, it's my doing. I've even knelt in the Hall of Healing for a long time, and my knees still hurt. It's not your idea alone. "

"Yes, it was the two of us. His knee still hurt? Let me see. " As he spoke, he was about to check.

Shen Ninghua kicked his arm to the side and said, "Don't do anything."

"My wife, you are your husband! How can you be so guarded against me? Come, don't be shy. Let your husband see."

Shen Ninghua rolled her eyes at him. "Such thick skin. Aren't you afraid of teaching these two children a lesson?"

Just as he finished speaking, the eldest brother and Xiaobao woke up from their sleep and opened their eyes in a daze. When they saw that their parents were beside them, they immediately struggled to lift up their heads, turn over their bodies and reached out their short arms to hug them.

Baili Junyi froze, and then his face turned red. He was joking with his own daughter-in-law. If his precious son and daughter saw him now, it would be too much of a disgrace to his image as a strict father.

The eldest brother stretched his arms out for a long time to get a hug, but when he saw his mother pick up his sister, he pursed his lips and looked at his father, who seemed to be in a trance. In the end, he couldn't help but burp and twist his head to play with his finger.

Disgusted by his son, Baili Junyi felt a little uncomfortable. She reached out and picked him up, patting his little butt. "Bad boy, do you dislike me, your father?"

The eldest brother bounced in his arms like a fat fish, waving his small hands and slapping them onto his father's face.

The fat palm didn't hurt, but it was a huge blow to Baili Junyi's self-esteem. He could not help but lift his son up, "You bad boy, you still dare to touch your father's head. Father will definitely take care of you today!"

The eldest frowned as he stared at Baili Junyi with his pink, tender face. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness, injustice, and the ability to cause trouble.

Shen Ninghua could not stop laughing at the side. Looking at the father and son duo's fight, he looked at his daughter who was watching him coldly from the side and said, "Little Treasure, you have to be good and not bully your father. Otherwise, we'll see what happens to your brother."

Little Treasure was originally sitting obediently in his mother's embrace. However, it was unknown whether he had heard Shen Ninghua's words or seen something, but he suddenly burst into laughter, revealing his tiny teeth clapping by the side. He was so happy that he was practically dancing with joy.

Baili Junyi looked at his son's solemn expression in defeat, and then looked at his wife and daughter who were standing to one side, stirring up the flames. He couldn't help but feel that he was becoming more and more of a dignified father.

"Hmph, bad boy, I'll let you off today. Once you're older, I'll let you know why the flowers are so red!"

When the eldest son was put down, he immediately wriggled his fat body and crawled to his mother's side. Leaning on Shen Ninghua's leg, he laid down on his stomach and stared at the refreshments on the table with gleaming eyes. Even the corner of his mouth unconsciously drooled.

Shen Ninghua smiled as she wiped his small face, asking the wet nurse to bring the warm milk over and carefully feed the two children with a spoon.

It was only after they'd eaten their fill and fallen asleep that Baili Junyi's mood eased a lot. He had been 'spurned' by both his daughter and his son. This was a failure on his part.

Shen Ninghua handed a cup of tea over to him and said, "Master, have a cup of tea and calm down."

Baili Junyi raised an eyebrow, "Master?" Is This King very old? "

"Isn't this to show respect to you?" Shen Ninghua followed his example and raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that I'm wrong?"

Baili Junyi took a sip of her tea, nearly choking on the taste of the tea. Shen Ninghua's words about 'I'm more lethal than boss' were a lot more effective.
