Tan Jizhi paused and finally swallowed the words he was about to say. He looked at Doctor Lin and said stiffly, "Come with me."
Doctor Lin raised his white eyebrows and was about to speak when Ye Li reached out and grabbed his arm. Ye Li said apologetically, "Master, I seem to be feeling a little unwell. I'll have to trouble you to take a look at me later." Doctor Lin was stunned for a moment. He looked deeply at Ye Li and finally stopped objecting.
Suppressing the father and son who were about to have a fierce conflict, Ye Li sighed slightly in her heart. She carelessly touched the piece of cloth in her sleeve and followed the footsteps of Tan Jizhi who was walking in front of her.
Tan Jizhi walked forward and looked back at Ye Li, saying, "My men are not far from here. Princess, don't be agitated. We won't go to Ruyang this time. So you may not be able to see His Highness Prince Ding for the time being. "
Ye Li smiled faintly, saying, "Since I've fallen into your hands, I'll naturally listen to your arrangements. But I'm a little curious. Does Lord Tan plan to take me back to the capital? "
Tan Jizhi smiled, saying, "Why would you think so? What good will it do me to take you back to the capital? "
Ye Li lowered her eyes, "Then I'm even more curious. What excuse did Lord Tan use to leave the capital for so long? Mo Jingqi's suspicious heart is not clear. " Tan Jizhi smiled slightly proudly, saying, "Since I can gain His Majesty's trust, how can I not even spare a little time? As for where you're going … you'll know when you arrive. "
Ye Li smiled, "In that case, I'll wait and see." Since you could deceive Mo Jingqi for so many years, let me see if you have the ability to walk out of Feihong Pass.
This was a very inconspicuous town not far from Ruyang City. It was also the first town they saw after leaving the Imperial Mausoleum. There were no more than a hundred families in total. Every two days, the people from the nearby villages would bring the things they needed to exchange for other things they needed. Only then would it become more lively. When they entered the town, they were just in time to catch up with the town's market. Tan Jizhi had changed his clothes, and the three of them looked like a family of three, an old man and a young couple. They were not too eye-catching.
Stepping into a shabby inn, the three of them were quickly welcomed to the backyard of the inn. This was clearly a stronghold that Tan Jizhi had prepared beforehand. It was completely different from the shabby front of the inn. The backyard was clean and quiet, unlike the scenery of a small town in the northwest. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, someone came out to welcome him. "Jizhi, you're finally back." A beautiful woman wearing a blue robe walked towards them. She didn't care that there were other people present. She rushed into Tan Jizhi's arms and said, "Jizhi, you're finally back. I've been worried for a long time. I was afraid that you had an accident." Tan Jizhi was obviously very indulgent towards this young woman. His originally gloomy face had a bit of a smile. He softly said, "Aren't I fine? I've made you worry. "The blue robed woman withdrew from his arms. Only then did she see Ye Li and Doctor Lin standing to the side. Of course, her eyes were mainly focused on Ye Li. Pointing at Ye Li, her eyes were filled with jealousy and disgust. "Who is this woman?!"
Ye Li's mouth twitched. Big sister, can't you see that I'm still pregnant? Isn't this jealousy a bit too fierce?
Tan Jizhi quickly pulled her back and softly comforted her. "Lin 'er, she's still useful. You can't touch her. You know that I only have you in my heart. "
The blue robed woman was not satisfied because of this. She stared at Tan Jizhi. "You still haven't told me who she is." Tan Jizhi helplessly smiled and said, "She is Princess Ding, so … … don't hurt her." A sharp light flashed in the blue robed woman's eyes. Leaning against Tan Jizhi, she looked at Ye Li. "Princess Ding? Didn't Princess Ding die? How could she appear here? "Tan Jizhi softly said," We met by accident. Have someone look after her. " The blue robed woman smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry. When have I ever failed to do what you've asked me to do?" Tan Jizhi nodded and turned to Ye Li. "Princess Ding, we'll be staying here for two days. If you have any problems, you can tell Lin 'er. She will help you."
Ye Li did not have any objections to this. However, the blue robed woman was unhappy. She glared at Tan Jizhi and said, "What do you mean? I'm not her servant! "
Thus, Tan Jizhi coaxed her with sweet words. After a long time, he finally managed to cheer her up. With a soft snort, he said, "Alright, I'll take good care of her."
Ye Li did not care about the two of them flirting in front of her. She only lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. However, her mind was racing. She had never seen this woman called Lin 'er before, but … her voice sounded familiar … She inadvertently raised her head and glanced at the blue robed woman. She looked to be in her early twenties and was very beautiful. There was a trace of strange charm between her eyebrows. However, the way she looked at Tan Jizhi seemed to be filled with love. And her voice … She spoke the language of the Central Plains very well. However, people like Ye Li, who had received some special listening training, could still detect that there were some sounds in her pronunciation. Ye Li had only seen one person who spoke like this before. It was Nanzhao's Princess Anxi. Looking at the blue robed woman in front of her, Ye Li's expression did not change. Lin 'er … Lin' er … The Saintess of Nanjiang — Shu Manlin.
It seemed that their previous guesses had been wrong. They had all thought that Shu Manlin and Mo Jingli were in cahoots. Now it seemed … Mo Jingli was just a tool and a shield. The true mastermind was the young man with a gentle smile in front of her, Tan Jizhi. Thinking this through, Ye Li's evaluation of Tan Jizhi reached a new height. He was a quiet and unknown figure who was able to play two countries in the palm of his hand. Compared to the sometimes crazy and sometimes impulsive Mo Jingqi and the brainless Mo Jingli, this man in front of her was the one she should be wary of.
"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Tan Jizhi finally finished communicating with the blue robed woman. He turned to stare at Ye Li and asked probingly.
Ye Li glanced faintly at him. How could she be lost in thought in a place like this? "It's nothing. Seeing that Tan Official and Miss Lin have such a good relationship, I can't help but feel a bit emotional," The blue robed woman leaned against Tan Jizhi and giggled, "Princess Ding misses Prince Ding?" Ye Li smiled and did not refute. She said faintly, "I've been away from home for a long time. Not only do I miss Prince, I'm also worried about my family. This princess did not receive any news from Big Brother before this incident. Does Tan Official have any news? "
"Big Brother?" Tan Jizhi stilled and quickly reacted, "Princess is talking about the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Qingchen?"
Ye Li nodded. She clearly saw the blue robed woman's expression stiffen. A trace of resentment and unwillingness flashed through her eyes. She smiled slightly in her heart. It seemed that the woman in front of her was indeed Saint Lady Shu Manlin of Nan Jiang. Although she didn't see Shu Manlin's true face that day in the secret chamber of the Southern Kingdom's Imperial Palace, she heard her voice talking to her elder brother. The obsession and craziness in her voice for her elder brother didn't seem like the woman in front of her who was so attached to Tan Jizhi. As expected … were they all masters of acting?
