Qin Yining did not expect that Zhou Meng would agree to her request. However, if she could leave the palace and go to the Minuo tribe, even if she would be closely monitored, she would feel more at ease.
No matter what other plans Zhou Meng had, she would just take one step at a time.
Qin Yining stood up and left. Seeing Bi Yu with a wound on her head and Xin Yu in fear and trepidation, she was worried that the First Consort would be angry at the two of them after she left, so she said, "I have another request. Bi Yu and Xin Yu have served me wholeheartedly. I want to take them with me. I wonder if the Prince will agree."
Zhou Meng was worried that he had lost face in front of the beauty and had to personally send her away. Even though she would be on Xi Yue's land and would not be able to escape his grasp, he still did not feel safe.
However, Qin Yining had taken the initiative to ask him for the two of them. This had resolved his worries.
If she could do this, it meant that she did not treat him as an outsider, right?
"I agree. Miss Yi's request is not excessive. How can I not agree?" Zhou Meng anxiously took two steps forward. "How can two maidservants be enough to serve you? Can This King arrange a few more for you? "
Qin Yining bowed and said, "Thank you, Prince, for your kindness. I originally had maidservants, but the two of them met my eyes, so I took the liberty to make this request. Together with the people who serve me, that's enough. "
She had a slender figure. During Dayan, she had learned etiquette from the palace's nannies. At this time, when she bowed gracefully, her appearance was completely different from any other woman Zhou Meng had seen in his life. It was indescribably pleasing to the eye. Even the three consorts at the side could not help but feel ashamed of their inferiority. They felt that compared to her, their actions were too vulgar.
Zhou Meng felt at a loss for a moment. When he frantically reached out to support her, Qin Yining had already stood up and left.
Zhou Meng was very regretful that he did not touch her. However, for the sake of his face, he could only pretend that he did not care. He turned and ordered, "None of you are allowed to leave. Just kneel here and wait for This King to come back and ask you questions." He then pointed at Bi Yu, Xin Yu, and Imperial Physician Wang and said, "Follow This King."
The two maidservants and the imperial physician immediately bowed and followed.
The three princesses fell to the ground in despair.
They had originally thought that it would be fine if they left. After all, they had served the Regional King for so many years. Now that the Regional King had lost his temper, he would probably let this matter go.
However, who would have thought that this was not the end? The Duke had already made up his mind to deal with this matter.
At this moment, the First Wangfei was filled with regret. If she had been gentler in her methods, she would not have angered the Junwang. Perhaps she could have slowly found a chance to deal with that vixen in the future. Now, not only had her secret been exposed and the Regional King hated her, even that vixen had left the palace and escaped her control.
Once she was outside the palace, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens for her to deal with her. Moreover, from what she heard just now, that vixen wanted to live with her clansmen.
Not only the First Consort, but the other two concubines were also secretly complaining about the First Consort's foolishness.
At this time, Qin Yining had already put on a cotton cloak and a warm hat, and left the palace in a carriage.
Under the night sky, the palace appeared simple and grand. From the outside, this castle's structure was actually made of wood and mud. Presumably, there weren't enough conditions to build a more outstanding palace here.
Walking straight out of the palace gates, there was a large public square. There was a high platform in the middle of the public square. It looked like it was used for some kind of ceremony. Passing through the public square, there was a wide street with rows upon rows of houses on both sides.
As the carriage moved forward, Zhou Meng, who was sitting beside Qin Yining, started to introduce the scenery along the way to Qin Yining. Qin Yining seriously noted it down and responded at appropriate times. This made Zhou Meng very happy.
Along the way, Qin Yining observed carefully and found that the city on this oasis had already begun to take shape. The tallest building, other than the palace just now, was a three-story building. The streets were all dirt roads, and the buildings were all made of wood or mud.
Right now, the sky was already dark, but there were still people coming and going on the streets. It seemed that there was no curfew here. The clothes worn by the common people were all embroidered with unique totems, and the styles were all similar.
When they saw their carriage coming, some of the common people stopped to greet them.
Zhou Meng was very proud of this, and there was a hint of pride in his words.
Without any hindrance, they came to a place in the southeast of the town.
Compared to what they had seen earlier, this place was already very remote. Although there was still no desert in sight, and this place looked like a normal town next to a river, in fact, it would take less than two hours on horseback to see the edge of the oasis.
The tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe were arranged to set up camp here.
Zhou Meng had provided them with houses, but the tribesmen of the Minuo Tribe declined his kind offer. Right now, their lives were tied to the provisions in their hands. If they let down their guard and something happened to the provisions, they would have no way to survive in the future.
Therefore, when Qin Yining brought Zhou Meng's carriage closer, the tribesmen guarding the outermost perimeter stared at the carriage with great vigilance.
In Tatan language, they asked, "Who is it?"
Qin Yining got off the carriage. She could understand some of the more common and simple Tatan language, so she could understand the tribesmen's language. She smiled at him and said, "I'm back."
Seeing Qin Yining, the tribesmen guarding the gate were overjoyed. Some went in to report the news, while others curiously observed Zhou Meng, who was beside Qin Yining.
Zhou Meng put on an arrogant attitude and said, "You are very good at restraining your tribesmen. They all listen to you very well. "
Qin Yining said, "These were all done by the tribesmen, and I didn't restrain them. It's getting late, County King, please go back and rest. You still have many important things to do. "
Zhou Meng was actually very reluctant to leave, but since he had already brought her here, it would not look good if he stayed. Fortunately, they were surrounded by desert, and if she left the oasis, she would not be able to survive. She could not escape, and she still had a long way to go.
Zhou Meng pretended to be generous and said, "Yes, This King still has things to do. You should rest here." He then turned around and instructed Imperial Physician Wang, "Remember this place. From now on, come here every day to check the Goddess' pulse. Do not slack off."
"Yes!" Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly bowed and agreed.
At this time, Lu Heng, Uncle Arhan, and the others had already walked out. Seeing that Qin Yining was really sent back as the clansmen said, everyone was both happy and worried.
Zhou Meng's carriage gradually left, and Lu Heng could not wait to ask, "Are you okay? Did they bully you? "
Qin Yining let out a long sigh and said, "Something did happen, but I'm fine." He turned around and introduced Biyu and Xin Yu to Lu Heng, and told him about their situation. Finally, he said, "I didn't expect Biyu to hit her head because of me."
