Chapter 453: Unaware, Being Led Away
Within three days, the carriage that Ji Chuhe asked Shen Chengjing to help renovate was completed.
Shen Chengjing sent someone to inform Ji Chuhe.
"Did Lord Jing ask you to send the carriage over?" Ji Chuhe asked the visitor.
"Madam, the carriage has not been delivered yet. Lord Jing asked Madam to go over and take a look first. If there is anything that needs to be improved, then we can make improvements. If there is nothing that needs to be improved, it will not be too late to send the carriage over later."
"Master Jing is really thoughtful. You go ahead and I'll pack up and come right back."
"Yes." The man immediately stepped out.
Xiao Yan'an sat up from the bed, looking a little unhappy.
"He's clearly looking for an opportunity to meet with Madam alone! It seems that he still has evil intentions towards you!"
"It's meaningless to worry about these things. Even if he doesn't send the carriage, it won't affect our plan. Is the prince ready?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"Of course I'm ready."
"Tianxi, go and bring the sedan chair here. Since this is a modified carriage for the prince, of course he has to try it himself to know if it is suitable. After all, the distance from here to the imperial capital is so far. If the carriage is not comfortable, the prince will also suffer." Ji Chuhe ordered loudly outside.
"Yes." Tianxi responded immediately.
After a while, a sedan chair was carried over.
Xiao Yan'an was carried out of the room by the guards and leaned weakly on the sedan chair. Ji Chuhe held his hand and followed him as they walked out of the inn.
As soon as he reached the door, the Third Prince's guards blocked him.
"Madam, the prince is so seriously ill, where are you going?"
"I asked Lord Jing to help me modify the carriage. Now I am taking the prince to try it out, to prevent the carriage from being uncomfortable and causing the prince to suffer on the road."
Ji Chuhe's answer was reasonable, and the guards had no reason to stop him.
Besides, on the surface, the order given to them by the Third Prince was to protect Xiao Yanan's safety, not to monitor Xiao Yanan.
In fact, it is also surveillance, but it must never be revealed.
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but frown when he saw them still blocking the door, "What do you mean? Are you stopping us from leaving?"
"No, no, no, Madam, you misunderstood. The Third Prince has ordered us to protect the Crown Prince's safety. We are afraid that his body won't be able to bear it if he goes out like this. We have no other intentions." The guard hurriedly explained.
"We will be returning to the capital soon. Even if you can't bear it, you have to adapt to this long journey. Going out now is a good opportunity to exercise."
"Yes, yes." The guards echoed and stepped aside.
Ji Chuhe and his group carried Xiao Yan'an away.
"Hurry and inform His Majesty the Third Prince."
The Third Prince was currently very busy dealing with the people from Qutan, and he looked impatient when he heard the guard's report.
"Go and monitor secretly to see if he went to see Lord Jing. If so, then don't worry about it." The third prince gave the order casually.
"Yes."
Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an came to the place where the carriage was modified, which was an ordinary farmyard.
The person who lives here is a carpenter.
The modified carriage is more than twice as large as before.
Before, one horse was enough to pull it, but now it might take four horses to pull it.
The carriage is like a room, with enough space for a bed and room to move around.
However, it was impossible to really lift a bed up, it was not convenient, and it was not easy to fix it. Ji Chuhe's design was in a corner of the carriage. Several wooden boards were raised on three sides close to the position of the carriage to form a platform, and then a thick mattress was laid on it to make it like a bed.
Ji Chuhe got on the carriage and looked around carefully.
Shen Chengjing followed her and got on the carriage.
Xiao Yanan sat on the sedan chair and clenched his fists secretly. It was a pity that he was still poisoned and had to pretend to be half-dead.
In the carriage, Ji Chuhe nodded with satisfaction, "Master Jing, this carriage has been remodeled so well, I really want to thank you."
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me. Madam, now that you know your fate, haven't you made a choice yet?"
Shen Chengjing was almost going crazy with jealousy.
Ji Chuhe already knew that following Xiao Yanan would kill her, so why was she still so nice to Xiao Yanan?
The modification drawings of this carriage were all drawn by her herself.
As if he was afraid that Xiao Yan'an would suffer even a little bit.
"Lord Jing, the prince and I are husband and wife after all, and the Prince of Huaiyang and the princess treat me as their own child. Even if I want to divorce the prince, I must bring him back safely. This way, I will feel less guilty."
"You don't need to feel any guilt at all. Xiao Yan'an has always liked Xu Yan'er!" Shen Chengjing blurted out.
Ji Chuhe looked at him in shock, "Master Jing, how do you know Xu Yan'er?"
"I...I..." Shen Chengjing stammered and couldn't answer.
Finally, he could only come up with a lame excuse, "I've also been to Huaiyang. During my time in Huaiyang, I happened to hear the news that the prince wanted to divorce you because he loved Xu Yan'er. In fact, Madam and I have met before, but Madam didn't know."
"I see. Then Lord Jing and I really have some fate."
"Yes, this can be considered a kind of fate." Shen Chengjing responded excitedly.
Ji Chuhe got off the carriage, walked towards Xiao Yan'an, and asked softly: "My Lord, I have seen the carriage. It has been remodeled very well. Since we are out today, do you want to try sitting in it and get used to it first?"
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an nodded.
When Ji Chuhe came, he asked someone to bring a few mattresses.
After all, acting should be done more realistically.
Mianzhu spread the mattress, and the guards carried Xiao Yan'an onto the carriage.
"Lord Jing, I'll take the prince for a walk first, let him adapt, and then I won't disturb you." Ji Chuhe said softly.
"I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll go with you. If there's anything that needs improvement in the carriage, I can ask someone to come back and modify it immediately." Shen Chengjing didn't want to miss any opportunity to spend time with Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe sneered in his heart.
Even if Shen Chengjing left, she would find a way to get him to stay and go with them.
"With Lord Jing accompanying me, I feel much more at ease. There are many people in the city. How about we go out from the nearby South City Gate and take a walk outside the city?"
"Okay." Shen Chengjing was about to walk away.
In this way, he could stay with Ji Chuhe longer.
Ji Chuhe got on the carriage and sat next to Xiao Yanan.
Shen Chengjing rode in the carriage and walked in front.
His guards and Xiao Yan'an's guards were divided into two rows, following the carriage and leaving the city together.
The third prince received the news without any suspicion.
After all, Lord Jing is here, so he can rest assured.
He could see that Lord Jing seemed to have some personal grudge against Xiao Yan'an. When he mentioned Xiao Yan'an, the murderous intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
