I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 468: Hot Potato

In Lu Ningxiang's new round of descriptions, Jiang Beiran didn't know whether to euphemistically call her naive, or to directly call her stupid.

In Lu Ningxiang's mouth, the nanny watched her grow up and gave her the most care.

But these are not important.

She actually believed that a nanny could figure out a way to send her out of the palace, even though she emphasized twice that her nanny has always been well-connected in the palace.

But the question is, where is this palace now or where it used to be?

Princess, times have changed.

Back then, you were still a princess in the palace, but now you are just a prisoner under house arrest. Can you compare it?

But no matter how Jiang Beiran complained, Lu Ningxiang was convinced of all this before. She believed that it was the nanny who desperately sent her out of the palace until Jiang Beiran told her that there was a problem with the sachet on her body.

It can be said that Lu Ningxiang has been reluctant to believe that this sachet has caused someone to find her, but the fact is that when the sachet is taken away, her whereabouts are no longer so easy to find.

And the reason she didn't want to believe it was naturally because the sachet was given to her by the nanny before she left, saying that she had been asked from the temple to keep her safe.

When talking about this, Lu Ningxiang's mood has been very low, because even the person she trusts in the world has lied to her, so who should she trust in the future...

"So your nanny knows you know where your father's treasure is?"

After hearing the silence for a moment, Lu Ningxiang replied, "Yes, so when the sachet was taken away by you, I knew why only I could escape from the palace. They just wanted me to help them find my father's treasure house. It’s just the location."

After listening, Jiang Beiran shook his head: "You also looked down on your uncles and aunts too low."

Lu Ningxiang blinked after hearing it, and asked a little puzzled: "Could it be... isn't it?"

Throwing some herbs into the boiling pot again, Jiang Beiran re-covered the lid and said, "How strict do you think your mouth can be?"

Lu Ningxiang, who understood the meaning of her husband's words, clenched a fist and said, "Although the sect has completely changed... but they are not going to torture me severely."

"Now they may not be able to release their hands, but after all the dust settles, do you think they will be so gentle to you? And they want to get things out of your mouth, far more than just torture. It can be used."

"Then... Then why did they release me for?"

"There can be many reasons. First of all, your father is just missing, right?"

Lu Ningxiang's expression dimmed a lot after hearing it, "Although it is missing, I think if the father is alive, he will definitely not leave us alone."

Lu Ningxiang's implication was very simple. Although she said that the emperor was missing, she already knew in her heart that he must have been in an accident.

"Oh." Jiang Beiran patted his forehead, "I said you can't think of your father better?"

After hearing this sentence, Lu Ningxiang subconsciously wanted to refute two more sentences, but soon raised her head in surprise: "Sir, do you think my father is not dead?"

"If your father really died, do you think your family can still be placed under house arrest in the palace so securely?"

"This..." Lu Ningxiang didn't know how to answer for a while, but then she said again: "But since my brother became the throne, many people in the sect have shown that they want to get rid of and then quickly..."

Before Lu Ningxiang finished speaking, Jiang Beiran interrupted him and said, "Then your brother is still sitting on the throne now?"

"Yeah."

"That's not right, you have said that they only dared to think about it, and they didn't actually do it. Then what do you think they did not dare to do?"

Lu Ningxiang's eyes suddenly beamed after hearing this: "Because they are not sure whether or not the father died!"

"Well, I'm not stupid yet."

"I..." Lu Ningxiang, who was said to be stupid, wanted to refute, but when she thought that she didn't even understand such a simple truth, she lowered her head again, but when she thought that the father might not be dead, her mood improved. A lot.

At this time, Jiang Beiran lifted the lid of the pot, scooped up a bowl of darkened medicinal soup and handed it to Lu Ningxiang: "Drink this bowl of medicine. Your current health condition is still very poor."

The reason Jiang Beiran wanted to help Lu Ningxiang was not only because he thought it was a systematic choice, but also because the princess really had a very kind heart.

Her physical condition is so bad that it is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two. She estimates that it has been a week since hiding in this mountain, but in such a desperate situation, she still can't survive. Then I asked myself for help.

It was just like the last time she left quietly in the middle of the night. If possible, the princess really didn't want to involve him in the trouble that might break her bones.

"Thank you." Lu Ningxiang took a sip of the medicinal soup handed by her husband, and then her brows instantly squeezed together.

Since she was a child, she had been most afraid of taking medicine. Every time the nurse took a dozen or so court ladies to coax together, but at this moment, recalling the originally warm scenes, Lu Ningxiang didn't smile at all.

Seeing that she took a deep breath, she drank the whole bowl of medicinal soup suddenly.

The medicine is still so bitter, but compared with her experience during this time, it is nothing at all.

"Thank you sir." Lu Ningxiang handed the bowl back to her husband.

After taking the bowl, Jiang Beiran continued with the question just now and said: "The reason why they let you out should have several purposes. It depends on you to find your father's treasure house, but it should be dispensable to them. For one purpose, they really want to see if your family has made any preparations for such a situation."

"Back...Ready?" Lu Ningxiang asked with some confusion.

"As you said, your father has been in power for sixteen years, and it’s normal to make preparations for yourself if something happens on the day. So your uncles and uncles should just want to take a look at you and prepare to save them. Does not exist."

"But looking at you now, there should be no other preparations."

"Really not..." Lu Ningxiang shook his head.

"Then I will use you to catch your father. People in your sect may think that your father is still hiding in the dark, so I want to try if you can use your bait to catch him. ."

"But it turns out that they didn't get through this path. There are many other possibilities. They just couldn't achieve it after I moved your sachets."

"Sir... Then what should I do now?"

Although Lu Ningxiang knew the reason for her escape, it didn't make much sense to her. What she needed now was a way, a way to protect all her family.

What to do?

Jiang Beiran naturally couldn't help her by himself, after all, he didn't plan to fight against the strongest sect in the whole country.

In addition to himself, Jiang Beiran's remaining option was to go to Yan Guangqing, no matter how strong or weak, he knew the only one he knew.

‘But such a hot potato... Yan Guangqing would not accept it. ’

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Beiran decided that he didn't want to. Anyway, he had no other choice. It's better to ask directly.

So he directly took out the talisman paper and wrote a greeting card, folded it into a paper kite and let it fly out.

Jiang Beiran did not mention Lu Ningxiang in the invitation. After all, it is better to talk face-to-face on such a big matter.

Not long after, a paper kite flew back to Jiang Beiran's hands. It was sent back to him by Sect Master Yan. There were not many words on it, but the attitude was indeed extremely enthusiastic. The whole piece of paper highlighted a [warm welcome].

This made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but recall a classmate who looked forward to playing games at his home every weekend.

After all, how can one person play games happily than two people.

And now Yan Guangqing is like an internet addicted teenager waiting for his "playmate". He is very much looking forward to Jiang Beiran going to study the formation with him again.

Putting the letter paper into the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran first took some dry food and water from the Qiankun Ring and put it by the bonfire, and then said to Lu Ningxiang: "This cave is very safe. You can stay here first. I'll go out."

Then before Lu Ningxiang asked questions, Jiang Beiran disappeared.

"Hey!"

Lu Ningxiang got up and wanted to catch it, but he was empty.

Withdrawing his hand, looking at the cave that became empty but warmer again, Lu Ningxiang sat back in front of the bonfire again, closed his eyes and prayed.

On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who had returned to the Fei Mansion, flew in the direction of Qian Tianzong.

The so-called plan could not keep up with the changes. Jiang Beiran originally planned to stay in Zeng Guo to investigate the strange beast base camp in the ancient ruins and arrange for Qu Yangze by the way, but as soon as he was about to set off, he received a distress signal from Lu Ningxiang.

After learning about Lu Ningxiang's situation, Jiang Beiran also knew that things could no longer be dragged down, so he put on Qu Yangze and returned to the country together.

In addition, I have to say that without Shi Fenglan's Feifu, he really wouldn't be able to come and go like this.

Before the cup of tea, Feifu had already stopped in the sky above Qiantianzong.

Then after completing the regular notification, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang to the Panling Peak where the Sovereign Mansion was located.
