A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

392 Jiang Ying was Strange

“I know Prince Qi, Prince Ning, and Prince Jin very well, but I don’t know anything about King Chu,” the emperor said.

Ever since he was young, he had never really understood King Chu’s thoughts. Perhaps he had been as innocent as him when he was young, but what about after they grew up?

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that King Chu was definitely not better than Prince Ning and Prince Qi.

“Since it’s the emperor’s idea, I’ll go to King Chu’s fief,” Qian Cen said.

“Alright, you can go to the enemy’s base camp to investigate the situation. One day, I’ll definitely transfer you back to the capital,” the emperor promised.

Then, Qian Cen was sent to King Chu’s fief by the emperor. He waited in King Chu’s fief and finally waited for Jiang Ying’s arrival.

However, he did not bring him back immediately. This was also where Qian Cen was conflicted.

However, Jiang Ying’s arrival resolved the toothache that had troubled him for many years.

He was now comfortable and motivated. He could do whatever Jiang Ying had arranged.

“Then I’ll leave everything to you,” Jiang Ying said.

“I will definitely not let the emperor down,” Qian Cen promised solemnly.

According to the emperor’s instructions, Jiang Ying left a group of people behind. He said to Qian Cen, “The emperor asked me to bring this group to you.”

Jiang Ying handed another token to Qian Cen. “Uncle Emperor said that if your life is in danger, take the token to Prince Jin’s military camp and ask him for help.”

Qian Cen was very touched and took the token. “Your Highness, please tell the emperor that even if I risk my life, I won’t let him down.”

In the end, Jiang Ying made some arrangements and left after giving Qian Cen a few instructions.

When he returned to Xin Xin’s residence, it was already dawn.

Ning Yue woke up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to get busy. When she came out, Jiang Ying had just returned.

“Where did you go?” Ning Yue asked.

Did he stay out all night?

“I had to arrange something. Yueyue, we can go back tonight,” Jiang Ying said happily.

When Ning Yue heard this, she was touched. “Thank you, Jiang Ying.”

“There’s no need for thanks between us,” Jiang Ying replied with a smile.

The two of them chatted as they placed breakfast on the dining table.

Xin Xin was woken up by the fragrance of food. After washing up, she went to the dining room and saw a table full of delicious food.

“Oh, I miss the days when we lived with the Ning family. Time passes too fast,” Xin Xin said with a smile.

Back then, she had lived in the Ning family with the Empress Dowager. She had lived so comfortably and had delicious food the moment she woke up. It was delicious food that she rarely ate in her life.

After dinner, she could go out with the empress dowager to look at the vegetable fields and take an afternoon nap with her two grandchildren. When she woke up, it was time for afternoon tea again.

During her time in the Ning family, she had gained a lot of weight. After returning to the border, she missed the delicious food of the Ning family even more. Unfortunately, she could only think about it and could not eat it.

“Auntie, do you want to go back with us?” Ning Yue asked with a smile.

Xin Xin shook her head. “I won’t go back with you. The situation here has been tense recently. By the way, be careful on the way back. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll get your uncle to dispatch a team to escort you back.” Otherwise, she really couldn’t feel at ease.

“Alright. It just so happens that Uncle Emperor sent me to King Chu’s fief to buy some spices. I want to disguise myself as a spice merchant on the way. As a merchant, I might be robbed when I pass by the mountain path. I’ll be at ease with an army escorting me,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying in confusion. Jiang Ying had never been someone who liked to explain things. It was just a group of people. If he wanted them to escort him, he could just arrange it.

However, he suddenly explained so much. Ning Yue suspected that there was more to the story.

“Alright, I’ll talk to your father later,” Xin Xin said.

From Xin Xin’s expression, it seemed that this team could be sent out at will.

But that wasn’t right.

Although those soldiers were part of Prince Jin’s army, Prince Jin should not have the right to casually send a group of people to do anything.

Ning Yue couldn’t figure out why and stopped thinking about it.
