406 Entering the Capital Early

Was there a mistake? Why did they want a marriage alliance again? “Didn’t we already have a marriage alliance previously?”

“Princess, the person they want to marry has never been the emperor, but someone of the same age as the crown prince.” Baili said.

“The requirements of the Black City Kingdom are really high. Don’t tell me that this group of people is targeting Jiang Ying?” Ning Yue asked with a frown.

Baili shook his head and replied, “No, the main target of the Black City Kingdom is still the Crown Prince. After all, Jiang Ying is a heir. Even in the future, he can only inherit the throne of Prince Jin. They won’t focus on the Heir.”

Ning Yue was even more puzzled. “In that case, why are there rumors that Princess Dawn likes Jiang Ying?”

“If she let it out herself and the people of the Black City Kingdom find out about this, I’m afraid Princess Dawn will not have a good time either,” Baili said.

Ning Yue raised her eyebrows. What was this woman thinking? She kept feeling that this woman might not like Jiang Ying. There might be other agendas on her mind.

“By the way, I’ve investigated something. Princess Dawn asked Prince Jiang Ying to tour the lake in five days,” Baili said.

Hearing this news, Ning Yue’s eyes widened. Jiang Ying actually wanted to swim in the lake with other women? Wasn’t the lake frozen in winter? Why was he swimming in the lake? Ning Yue was very unhappy.

Seeing that his master had misunderstood, Baili hurriedly explained, “The Heir didn’t agree. It was Princess Dawn who spread the news.”

“I don’t care anymore. I have to go over early,” Ning Yue said angrily.

With that, she ran off to pack her luggage, which she had not yet prepared.

After packing up, she set off.

She did not bring the children with her because she needed to travel. If she brought the two children along, it would slow the process down. Moreover, the two children might not be able to adapt to the hardships of traveling.

“Grandpa, I’ll go over first. When the time comes, you can enter the capital with Baili.” Ning Yue instructed Old Master Ning and stuffed the pills she had prepared into his hands.

“Grandpa, these medicinal bottles are all labeled. I wrote down the name of the medicine and the use of the medicine. If you encounter danger, you can sprinkle the medicinal powder on the enemy and take the opportunity to escape. These medicines are all for self-defense. I hope we don’t encounter bad people,” Ning Yue said.

Old Master Ning accepted the medicine and said with a smile, “We’ll protect ourselves and take good care of Xiaobao and Xiaobei. Don’t worry.”

After Ning Yue explained everything, she set off with Yun Duo. As she was delayed by something on the way, she arrived in the capital exactly five days later.

“Miss, I just went to ask. The Heir is by Willow Lake.” When Yun Duo said this, she was a little embarrassed.

Why had Jiang Ying agreed to Princess Dawn’s trip to the lake? She wondered how angry Ning Yue would be.

Yun Duo carefully observed Ning Yue’s expression. Unexpectedly, Ning Yue did not have any expression at all. She said to Yun Duo, “Let’s go home and take a look. I have to pack.”

“Huh?” Yun Duo couldn’t react for a moment and looked at Ning Yue in a daze.

At this moment, as the mistress of the house, shouldn’t Ning Yue go and declare her sovereignty? Why did she have to go home and pack?

“I said to go home and pack. I haven’t been back in a long time. Grandpa and the others are coming to stay, so I have to pack,” Ning Yue said.

That was true, but Yun Duo felt strange.

“Miss, shouldn’t we go to Willow Lake?” Yun asked.

“Why should I go to Willow Lake? The weather is so cold. Do you want me to endure the cold wind?” Ning Yue asked Yun Duo.

Yun Duo frowned and explained, “But the Heir and Princess Dawn are swimming in the lake.”

“Do I have to go over when they’re swimming in the lake? What kind of logic is that?” Ning Yue asked Yun.

Yun Duo opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing how to refute Ning Yue. For the first time, she felt that her mouth was so stupid.

Seeing this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but reach out and pat Yun Duo’s shoulder. She smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go back and tidy up the house first.”

This time, Yun Duo was even more puzzled. Why did she feel that Ning Yue did not care about other women and Jiang Ying swimming in the lake at all?
