If anything happens because of this handkerchief, even if the Eldest Young Lady believes her, if her reputation is ruined... she certainly cannot continue to serve by the side of the Eldest Young Lady.
But she truly... does not want to leave the Eldest Young Lady’s side.
"I am aware of this matter, you don’t have to worry so much, I will handle it myself!" Bai Qingyan said with a smile to Chun Zhi, "Stop shedding tears, go wash your face and freshen up, we’ll be departing soon."
"Yes!" Chun Zhi wiped her tears with her sleeve, then curtsied and retreated.
Bai Qingyan’s fingers gently caressed the armrest, and she turned her head to speak to Wei Zhong, "Send some people to make a fuss about finding Chun Zhi’s handkerchief, saying that the handkerchief belonging to a girl might be picked up by a man, and request the finder to return it quickly!"
"Yes!" Wei Zhong responded and went out to order people to handle this matter.
Before long, Shen Qingzhu, who was preparing to depart, came over. She spoke to Bai Qingyan, "Eldest Young Lady, the Ninth Prince of Yan has sent Feng Yao over. According to Eunuch Feng, the Yan Army has already crossed the river and set out. Scouts from Quanya City saw them leave without attacking, which likely means they will lower their guard. The Ninth Prince of Yan estimated that the Eldest Young Lady would set out today as well, so he sent Feng Yao over early today. The Eldest Young Lady can ask Feng Yao anything, and he will certainly answer truthfully. Also... Feng Yao is well-versed in the Yan Kingdom’s marching routes, so if the Eldest Young Lady needs to communicate something to the Yan Kingdom, she can instruct Feng Yao."
She nodded, "Have Eunuch Feng come to my carriage in a while. I do have questions to ask."
"Additionally..." Bai Qingyan looked up at Shen Qingzhu, "I wish to trouble you to follow Fourth Young Lady..."
"Eldest Young Lady, no matter what happens this time, I will never leave your side!" Shen Qingzhu said solemnly, "The Eldest Young Lady is now with child, unlike ordinary times. If you want me to follow Fourth Young Lady...neither Fourth Young Lady nor I would be at ease, especially since the Eldest Young Lady has placed Xiao Ruohai by Fourth Young Lady’s side. I implore the Eldest Young Lady not to send me away..."
This is the first time Shen Qingzhu has defied Bai Qingyan’s orders. The Eldest Young Lady, as the older sister, tends to care for her younger siblings and overlooks herself, which Shen Qingzhu understands. But now that the Eldest Young Lady is with child, Shen Qingzhu naturally prioritizes the Eldest Young Lady’s safety in all matters.
Not to mention, Shen Qingzhu’s senior brother, Xiao Ruohai, is by Fourth Young Lady’s side.
Bai Qingyan gently grasped Shen Qingzhu’s hand, and before she could say anything, Wei Zhong stepped in quickly, bowed, and quietly said beside Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Yan is here to see you..."
With that, Wei Zhong handed the token proving the Empress Dowager Yan’s identity to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan took the token, glanced at it, and heard Wei Zhong continue, "Eunuch Feng, waiting outside, seemed quite surprised to see the maid outside the carriage. When I came in, Eunuch Feng was going to pay respects by the carriage."
Murong Yan’s sister-in-law has arrived, so Bai Qingyan naturally intends to meet with her.
"Send someone to invite her in, along with Eunuch Feng." She rose and said, "I will come right away. Send someone to inform A Yu, if I am delayed, for him to lead the troops ahead, and I will follow shortly."
"Yes!" Wei Zhong once more acknowledged and exited.
