Ye Chutang was genuinely taken aback, pointing at herself and asking, “Me?” “Yes!”
The Princess Regent seemed quite expectant as well.
“You are the most familiar with Qingzhou; if you go with him, that would be like adding wings to a tiger! Wouldn’t the case be solved more surely then?”
Ye Chutang: “……”
Hearing this, Xiao Wu finally stopped eating and looked up at his elder sister.
Seeing Ye Chutang’s hesitant attitude, the Princess Regent added, “Of course, I’m just saying that. After all, this trip is likely to take quite some time.”
Ye Chutang nodded, “It’s not a big deal for me, but the Emperor is still ill and probably can’t do without someone to take care of him……”
The Princess Regent clapped her hands as if waking from a dream:
“Oh my! How could I forget that?”
Ye Chutang: “……”
So now that you have a grandson, you’ve forgotten your own brother?
The Princess Regent felt a bit embarrassed.
She had such small concerns in her heart; she had hoped to take this opportunity to help the two develop their relationship more and provide some opportunities and support for her grandson. But she had completely forgotten about Emperor Wu Mu.
Moreover, she hadn’t expected Ye Chutang to guess that Emperor Wu Mu had a heart condition just from one consultation.
And from what she heard, Ye Chutang seemed to have a way to treat his illness.
This meant that Ye Chutang would have to stay in the capital for the time being.
“Well…… ah, let’s put that aside for now!”
The Princess Regent sighed inwardly, feeling quite disappointed.
Ye Chutang tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry, the Crown Prince is intelligent and capable; even without help from others, he can solve these problems without a doubt.”
What Ye Chutang said was true, but the Princess Regent still couldn’t fully let it go.
She gave Ye Chutang a thoughtful look.
She saw through her grandson’s intentions quite clearly, but what about Ye Chutang’s own thoughts?
After all, Ye Zhong’s injustice had been redressed, and with Ye Chutang’s background and appearance, there were countless people who were interested in her. In the past, people were cautious because Ye Zhong had angered the Emperor and was exiled.
But now it was different!
More importantly, she didn’t seem to have any plans to get married at all……
After much thought, the Princess Regent could only say, “Then, later on, you should explain those matters about Qingzhou to him in detail.”
Ye Chutang’s lips curled into a smile as she nodded, “Don’t worry about that; I had that plan anyway. The Crown Prince is helping me, and I am naturally grateful for it.”
Every word she said was calm and composed.
The Princess Regent could only comfort herself in her heart; at least if any young man showed interest in her grandson, she would be the first to know about it.
Xiao Wu’s eyes showed a knowing look of “I knew it!” and he happily continued eating his meal.
—Qingzhou is quite far away! Not to mention the fatigue of the long journey, and there’s also the case to investigate. If sister really has to go, how will she be able to get up in time?
……
When Ye Chutang and Xiao Wu returned home, it was already completely dark.
Bước qua sân vườn, bước vào trong phòng, Ye Chutang bật đèn lên, rồi mới lại nhìn ra ngoài cửa sổ một lần nữa.
Bên ngoài dường như có một luồng gió mạnh thổi qua.
Ye Chutang nhướng mày lên.
Có ai đó nhẹ nhàng kéo nhẹ ống tay cô, cô hạ đầu xuống và thấy Tiểu Ngũ đang mở to đôi mắt đen tròn, theo dõi cô nhìn về phía đó.
“Có người bên ngoài kìa chị ơi!”
Ye Chutang cười lên, nhẹ nhàng bóp nhẹ vào khuôn mặt mềm mại của Tiểu Ngũ.
“Đứa trẻ thông minh.”
Những âm thanh nhỏ nhặt như vậy, người bình thường hoàn toàn không thể nhận ra được.
Tiểu Ngũ mới năm tuổi nhưng lại có sự nhạy bén vượt trội so với người khác trong việc này.
“Ngủ sớm đi.”
