After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 56 You don’t even want to take me with you?

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin wanted to say that instead of bringing someone strong, she might as well bring Hongdou, because Hongdou was the strongest person in the entire Haitang courtyard. However, seeing the begging look in her son's eyes, Qiao Rongjin couldn't say no.

"Then mother has taken Zhuyun away. Can you let Sister Qinglian accompany you for the time being?" Qiao Rongjin originally wanted to leave Qinglian behind to take care of Qi You together with Zhuyun, and only take Qinyun with her. However, in order to reassure her son, she changed her mind. It would be the same no matter who she took.

"Okay." Qi You was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Zhu Yun's kung fu is not weak. Your mother will definitely encounter many unknown dangers on this trip. Qi You doesn't want the same experience as Chen's in the previous life to happen to his mother. With Zhu Yun around, he can feel more at ease.

The matter was settled like this, and the two of them told their maids what they had just decided.

Qi You is here.

Zhu Yun was a little surprised when she heard her master asked her to follow Master Qiao to provide disaster relief, but she still replied, "I obey your command."

"This time, your mission is to protect mother. You don't need to care about the others. You just need to obey mother's orders. Of course, you don't have to take action unless it is necessary." After all, Zhuyun is his only trump card at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun once again respectfully replied, "Yes, I understand."

"Remember, I want my mother to come back safe and sound." Qi You's eyes were deep.

He knew that Zhu Yun had the ability, otherwise it would be impossible for him to escape the organization's pursuit alone.

Zhu Yun heard this and nodded.

On Qiao Rongjin's side, Qinglian felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard that her master was not going to take her with him this time. Her eyes turned red and she stared at her master with grievance.

"Master, you won't take me with you?" She had packed her things, but the master told her to go into the palace with the young master.

Qiao Rongjin looked at Qinglian as if she was looking at a scumbag and wanted to cover her face.

"Although this is what Qi You asked for, I also think so. Haitangyuan needs someone to stay there, and Qi You also needs to have a maid by his side. I will feel at ease if you go and take care of Qi You, Qinglian."

Qiao Rongjin's words were of great importance to Qinglian. After all, Qinglian knew better than anyone how the master had treated the young master over the past few days. The master's entrusting the young master to her care was the greatest affirmation and trust in her. However, she was not at ease letting the master go!

Just by hearing about going to provide disaster relief this time, one can tell that it will definitely be dangerous. Otherwise, if it was a popular commodity, those masters in the backyard would have probably fought for it and suffered bloodshed, so how could it be the turn of their own master to go!

Qinglian wanted to go. She didn't know how long her master would be away this time. She had followed her master since she was a child, and basically the two of them had never been apart for such a long time. She was afraid that something might happen to her master, and as long as she was there, she could protect her master if there was danger. She didn't feel at ease if anyone else went.

But since the master had said so, Qinglian couldn't say no and could only look at her with a stammer.

When Qiao Rongjin saw this, she roughly knew what Qinglian was thinking, but she would not change her mind. As long as Qinglian was with Qi You, she could focus on her.

"Qi You is now in your hands. The palace is not like any other place. There are many nobles here, so you need to be more careful with your words and actions. If there are any important matters that cannot be resolved, go directly to the Concubine Xian. She will not ignore it, understand?"

Qinglian heard this and knew that the master was determined, so she had to agree, "Yes, I will take good care of you, young master. I and you will be waiting for you to come back."

"Uh-huh."

The baggage was packed up quickly, and there was actually quite a lot of it, probably enough to fill a carriage.

The princess's place.

She was a little surprised when Prince Rui told her that Qiao Rongjin would be accompanying the disaster relief effort.

She had been thinking yesterday that Chen had fallen seriously ill, and considering how much the prince cared about her, he would not let her go again. After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness and her body was very weak, so she needed to be carefully nursed back to health. She thought the prince had not suggested replacing someone until last night, and thought he would not bring anyone this time. Unexpectedly, he was going to bring Qiao with him?

Was it the prince's idea for Qiao to go or was it Chen's instigation?

Chen's sudden illness was strange...

The princess thought more and more, and suddenly she heard the prince's voice again.

"During the time when Qiao and I are away, I will send Qi You to the palace to be with my mother."

Hearing this, the princess was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she felt a little unhappy.

What did Qiao mean by this? She bypassed the legitimate master of the palace and sent the child to the virtuous concubine in the palace. How would the virtuous concubine view her as a princess? I'm afraid they would say that she didn't care about the prince's offspring or couldn't protect him. No matter what, the comments about her would only be bad, not good.

“Your Highness, there is no need to send Xiaowu to the palace. With me watching over him, nothing can possibly happen…” When the princess said this, she instantly thought of Qi You’s previous illness with a high fever. She only found out about this later. For a moment, she felt a little guilty at the end of her words.

However, the last incident was indeed uncontrollable. It is common for children to have a fever, and it is impossible for her to pay attention to them all the time. She also has many important things to do.

Prince Rui looked at the princess meaningfully. The princess felt embarrassed and guilty, so she said nothing more.

Prince Rui knew what the princess was thinking, but he had already made up his mind, and naturally could not change it. After all, this was the first time that Qiao made a request to him, and he did not want to disappoint her.

"During the time when I am away, Princess, please take good care of the palace. You should also take care of Shao'er's schoolwork. If there is anything that cannot be resolved, I will make a decision when I return home."

Hearing this, the princess finally felt better. Although the prince's heart was not with her, she had everything a wife should have. Moreover, the prince really valued Shao'er, which made her very satisfied. Even the slight unhappiness in her heart just now disappeared.

"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of everything in the mansion."

"Ah."

The news that the prince had changed his mind and was taking Qiao with him to provide disaster relief spread quickly, and soon everyone in the palace knew about it.

After all, Prince Rui and the people from Haitang Courtyard did not deliberately conceal the matter.

Even Qiao's son, Qi You, was sent to the palace by the prince to the virtuous concubine. It would be hard for her not to know about it.

In the palace, Minghua Palace.

The place of the virtuous concubine.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui is here." The clear voice of the palace maid came.

The virtuous concubine who was tending to a pot of flowers paused and said with a cold look, "Isn't today the day to leave? How do you still have time to come to the palace?" As she said that, she put down the flower scissors she was using to trim the branches, turned around and said, "Let's go."
