Chapter 142 Departure
Su Chengnan was stunned.
The Crown Princess.....'s carriage?
She coughed lightly: "Isn't this bad?"
After all, no one in Ningyuan Palace knew that she was the real Su Chengnan. How could she, an "outsider", ride on it?
No, no, this would give people the wrong impression. They would think she had ulterior motives, that Lu Chaofeng was blinded by her emotions, and most importantly, that she was offending the "Crown Prince's Consort."
bah bah bah!
Su Chengnan came back to his senses and scolded himself for thinking too much!
Su Linhua, who was standing aside, wanted to laugh but couldn't. Her big eyes were flashing wildly, and she was almost suffocating it!
Su Chengnan looked at her for help.
Su Linhua burst out laughing and couldn't help but ask, "Ah Shun, can I go?"
"If I can't go, my sister definitely won't go either. You can do whatever you want."
Ah Shun was already prepared. "Anyone can go, anyone can go. Second Miss, please stop joking. Of course, anyone in the Su family can go."
Su Chengnan sighed lightly, "Okay, then thank the prince for us."
Ah Shun is also very perceptive. What kind of nonsense is he spreading?
"Miss, I still have to go to the back to escort the team. I'll have to ask you to express your gratitude to the prince yourself. I'm sorry."
After he finished speaking, he ran away quickly, which made Su Linhua want to secretly give him a thumbs up.
"Have you had enough of the excitement?" Su Chengnan said sinisterly.
"I haven't seen enough, I want to see more." Su Linhua pouted and shook her head.
"Okay, get in the car now."
"it is good."
The Ningyuan Palace's ceremonial procession was still there, and the Crown Prince's wife's carriage contained a memorial tablet, so Lu Chaofeng naturally couldn't ride with her. Two carriages were parked, one in front and one behind, and they were accompanied by numerous maids and servants. Regardless of whether Lu Chaofeng needed them or not, these people were not essential.
However, the journey was dangerous, and the maids and servants had already been assigned other tasks, and they could occasionally take turns riding on the flatbed cart for a while.
Lu Chaofeng was worried that they would not be used to it, so he asked someone to transfer Nian Qiu from the Yinmeng Mountain Villa back and asked her to serve outside the carriage.
"Miss, Miss." Nian Qiu bowed politely and helped the two into the car. After they got in, he considerately closed the car door.
"You sit in the front, we will call you if there is anything." Su Linhua had a good impression of her. She felt that the front was spacious enough for two people, so she asked her to sit down.
"Yes, thank you, Second Miss." Nian Qiu was very happy.
The carriage's interior was luxurious, with every detail padded with dark golden satin and a thin layer of cotton. Windows were on either side, and on a soft couch against the back wall of the carriage sat the familiar tablet.
Su Chengnan frowned and looked at his name written on it, feeling weird and awkward.
"What does it feel like?" Su Linhua joked.
"I feel inexplicably scared." She confessed truthfully.
"Hahahahaha-"
Su Linhua laughed so hard that she fell backwards, teasing her: "Is there anyone else who is afraid of me?"
Su Chengnan curled his lips and said, "How about I get you one too and see how you feel?"
"Forget it then, thank you."
Su Linhua declined and chose a comfortable position to lie down and rest, and gradually began to yawn.
Su Chengnan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he closed the box containing the memorial tablet and covered it with a yellow cloth. He then leaned against the other side of the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.
Really sleepy.
Plus, the car is warm and has a light woody scent, which is relaxing.
Soon she fell asleep too.
Yi Er, Bing San and others discussed with A Shun and freed up three carriages for the guards to rest in in batches, one round every hour. They had to get enough rest first.
Now there are many horses in the team, which reduces the pressure of human transportation and gives the heavy work of pulling carts to the war horses, so even if they take turns to rest, it does not affect the team's marching speed.
Su Linhua was awakened by hunger.
She opened the curtain and looked out, only to see that the scenery outside had completely changed.
"It's...snowing?"
"Sister, look!"
Su Linhua stared outside intently and stretched out an arm to shake Su Chengnan frantically.
Su Chengnan opened his eyes dazedly, and it took him two seconds to regain consciousness. "What did you say?"
"It's snowing! Come and see!"
Su Linhua opened the curtain as wide as possible, and the cold wind blew in. She couldn't help but shiver, and she woke up completely.
"Wow! Everything turned white overnight?"
"Yes, it's so beautiful!"
The two of them were surrounded by a vast expanse of white, as if they were in a fairyland. Snowflakes the size of goose feathers swirled and fell in the air, giving the treetops and hillsides a new coat of paint.
"Not good!" Su Chengnan said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" The voice scared Su Linhua and she looked over blankly.
"With this much snow, and everyone not wearing enough winter clothes, I'm afraid they'll get sick. If they get sick in this weather, it could be fatal."
"Ah! It really is."
Su Linhua shuddered unconsciously, quickly closed the curtain, and shrank back, wrapping herself tightly in her coat and quilt.
Su Chengnan took out a bamboo tube filled with hot spring water from the space and handed it to her, "Hold this to warm yourself up."
"Okay." She took it, and then watched Su Chengnan put on his coat, as if he was going out.
"What are you doing? It's so cold, don't run around."
"I'm not going out. I'm just looking ahead."
"That's fine."
Su Linhua didn't want to move for a moment now. She woke up easily. The carriage creaked all the way, and she didn't get a good sleep for several hours. She was still tired.
Su Chengnan was so tired that she lost consciousness of everything as soon as her head touched the pillow. So now that she was awake, she wanted to go out and ask what was going on.
Push open the carriage door.
A fierce cold wind blew in.
Her breath hitched.
"Miss, you're awake." Nian Qiu smiled at her with his neck shrunk, and Bingsan was beside him.
"How long have I slept?"
"About ten hours, are you hungry? Can I get you something to eat?"
"Don't bother. Where are you?"
Bing San took over the conversation, "We should be able to reach Beiling before dark."
Su Chengnan's heart sank and he felt bad.
"No news from Jiayi yet?"
"No...no." Bingsan shook his head and fell silent.
She nodded, as if to comfort herself and Bingsan, "Perhaps something delayed them. Let Yi Er take the brothers to look for them. But don't go too far. Be careful. Each of you is important."
Bingsan's eyes turned red, and he nodded, "Okay."
As Su Chengnan spoke, he took out two blankets and handed them to the two of them, saying, "It's too cold. Put them on quickly."
"Thank you, Miss." Nianqiu took it. But Bingsan declined.
"Miss, I'm dirty and stained with the blood of those bastards from the White Bear Country. I don't need it."
Su Chengnan glared at him, "What are you talking about? Which is more important, the blanket or the person? Hurry up!"
call out--
While the two were talking.
A feathered arrow flew over.
It shot directly onto the door panel next to Su Chengnan's head.
She was completely confused.
