What?
Chu Yunli is going to He Province?
Jiang Ning thought for a moment that she had heard wrong. The person leading the troops to He Province was obviously the Crown Prince, how could it be him?
Chu Yunli nodded, straightened his clothes, and said, "There is a flood in He Province. The Emperor ordered me to lead troops to He Province for disaster relief. It will take about a month to go back and forth, so you don't need to come and change my dressing."
Jiang Ning stood there, looking at Chu Yunli blankly, and subconsciously said, "No!"
Chu Yunli looked at her.
Jiang Ning felt chill all over her body. The moment she heard that Chu Yunli was going to He Province, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her.
"Why would the Emperor send you to He Province?"
The person sent in the previous life was obviously the Crown Prince...
Chu Yunli observed Jiang Ning, whose entire body was tense, and a thoughtful expression deepened in his eyes. He deliberately did not hide it. "The person originally chosen by the Emperor was the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince rejected it on the spot, saying that the disaster relief in He Province was too important, so he recommended me."
Jiang Ning was shocked.
It's the Crown Prince.
The Emperor originally intended to send the Crown Prince there, but the Crown Prince refused and recommended the disaster relief to Chu Yunli.
This is not a good thing, this is meant to bring Chu Yunli to his death!
During the disaster relief process, there would be landslides, heavy losses will be incurred, elite troops and all relief materials would be washed away and buried under the soil... Even if Chu Yunli was lucky enough to survive, he would still have to bear the responsibility.
Demotion is the most lenient, and it is very likely to lose his life.
Jiang Ning's face turned pale and her hands were trembling slightly. This must be a trick jointly thought up by the Crown Prince and Jiang Mengyue. Jiang Mengyue knew what would happen in the future and must have known that the Crown Prince would encounter disasters on the way when he went to provide disaster relief.
That's why the Crown Prince abnormally refused to handle providing disaster relief.
Otherwise, given how the Crown Prince and Chu Yunli never got along with each other, why else would he give such an opportunity to gain credit to an enemy?
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Yunli, and said anxiously, "You can't go!"
"Why?" Chu Yunli's eyes were looking at her appraisingly, but his face remained calm.
Jiang Ning frowned and wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't utter a word.
When Chu Yunli saw her, his eyes became deeper.
The same thing happened to her last time. She wanted to say something, but ended up keeping it to herself.
Jiang Ning secretly clenched his fists and said, "This matter is strange. If the disaster relief work is completed, it will be a great achievement. The Crown Prince has always been at odds with you, and even sent people to assassinate you... How could someone like him recommend you to the Emperor?"
"He definitely has ulterior motives!"
Jiang Ning clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white and her palms hurt, and she whispered, "So... you can't go, don't go to He Province."
After hearing this, Chu Yunli's eyes dimmed and he felt depressed.
That's not what she wanted to say...
She still didn't tell him the truth in the end.
Chu Yunli turned around, his back to Jiang Ning, and said, "The Emperor has issued an order, how can a subject disobey the Emperor's order? I must go to He Province."
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will ask Yuan Feng to change my dressing every day, and I will definitely heal my injury." If one listens carefully, one can hear a hint of hurt in his words.
"Chu Yunli..."
Jiang Ning murmured softly, clenching her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and traces of blood seeping out.
She was anxious and her face turned pale.
The moment she heard that Chu Yunli was going to He Province, her first thought was to stop him and prevent him from going.
But there was no good reason to convince him not to go.
After a long time, Jiang Ning turned around and left in a daze.
The wooden door creaked, and Chu Yunli lowered his eyes, his face full of disappointment.
........
Jiang Ning returned to the Marquis Mansion.
After entering the room, she closed the door tightly and sat down at the table.
Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't calm down. Her mind was filled with things about Chu Yunli going to He Province.
Chu Yunli is going to He Province...
No, there will be landslides along the way...
Jiang Ning felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and was trembling all over.
"Miss, you are back." Chun Lan opened the door and walked into the room. She saw the young lady sitting at the table in a daze. The tea was cold, but the tea cup was still full. The young lady didn't take a sip.
"Miss?" Chun Lan couldn't help calling out.
Jiang Ning was in a daze, her mind was full of things about Chu Yunli, and she didn't notice anyone calling her.
Chunlan walked over to get another pot of tea.
Suddenly Jiang Ning suddenly said, "No!"
Chunlan's hand shook and she almost broke the teapot to the ground, "Miss..."
No!
Chu Yunli couldn't go...
But how can she persuade him not to go?
If there is no reason to convince him, he will definitely go.
Jiang Ning once again fell into tangle and struggled again, feeling anxious and restless inside.
Chunlan didn't dare to change the tea, she put the teapot back in its original position, and quietly left. Although she didn't know what the young lady was thinking, it was better not to disturb her for now.
At night.
Jiang Ning tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In the dark of the night, she stared at the bed curtain with her eyes wide open.
She was particularly agitated. She had never been so anxious for someone in her two lives, as if a fire was burning inside her.
"Chu Yunli...if it were him, would he believe what I say?"
Then she murmured, "...can I trust him?"
The lone murmur fell, and the room was so silent that one could hear her heartbeat.
The next moment, she suddenly turned over and got out of bed.
Without hesitation, she opened the door and walked out of the house, climbed over the wall and left the Marquis Mansion.
........
The private residence of the Chu family.
A black shadow flew past, and Jiang Ning used qinggong to enter the house.
The secret guards were alert and wanted to stop the person, but when they realized it was Miss Jiang, they all withdrew their hands.
Jiang Ning ran to Chu Yunli's room.
The oil lamp was still on in the room, and his silhouette could be seen. It seemed that he had not fallen asleep yet.
"Miss Jiang?" Yuan Feng was a little shocked when he saw Jiang Ning. Why did Miss Jiang come here in the middle of the night? Is it so urgent?
Jiang Ning walked directly past him, as if she didn't see him or hear the sound.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door and walked in, closing the door behind her.
Chu Yunli was still awake at the moment and was reading the scroll about floods in Hez Province under the oil lamp.
When someone pushed the door open and walked in, he turned around and looked over.
Under the oil lamp, Chu Yunli's body was covered with a layer of warm yellow light, and his black hair fell like ink. At this moment, he raised his face and said, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Ning looked at him and walked over step by step.
"What's wrong, Miss Jiang?" Chu Yunli asked.
Jiang Ning's eyes were complicated, reflecting Chu Yunli's reflection in her eyes, and she looked carefully at his face under the oil lamp.
The room was silent.
After a while, she said, "Chu Yunli, don't go."
"On the way to He Province for disaster relief, there will be a landslide, hundreds of elite soldiers will be lost, and all the relief materials will be buried... This trip will cause heavy losses."
Jiang Ning's voice trembled slightly as she revealed the biggest secret hidden deep in her heart.
She wondered if he would listen.
If the matter is confirmed, will she be regarded as a monster?
But……
Even if the secret would be exposed, she wanted to persuade Chu Yunli not to go.
Jiang Ning's eyes flickered slightly and she whispered, "Don't go to He Province..."
Chu Yunli was stunned, and his whole body was completely frozen.
