Chapter 292 Can’t hide it
Chapter 292 Can’t hide it
No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Rong had cut off contact with them for a while since the good news a few days ago. He was still wondering, with the Crown Prince's character, how could he really be trapped by His Royal Highness Prince Rong? Even there was no news from Young Master Yun. It turned out to be because of this!
"My Lord, our people have been following up on the communication with Liuzhou. I'm afraid the only ones who can intercept it under such a tight situation are Prince Chen and his party."
Jiang Yu tapped the window frame with his fingertips. Just as he was about to speak, Fu Feng's voice came from outside the door: "My Lord, General Yun, Second Young Master Yun, and Miss Yun are here."
Chen Zhao immediately raised his eyes and said, "My Lord, could it be that they already know?"
"No," Jiang Yu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes dark and deep, "But I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore."
Soon, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and Yun Zhong, Yun Yan and Yun Shuning walked into the study.
As soon as Yun Shuning saw Jiang Yu, she noticed that his face was gloomy, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.
Yun Zhong spoke first, his deep and powerful voice echoing in the quiet study: "Your Highness Prince Rui, Yun Sheng has been gone for a long time and there has been no letter from him. The letters I sent home have also fallen into the sea. Today, I came to your house to ask if there is any news about him. Could it be that something happened in Liuzhou?"
In fact, Yun Zhong already had the answer in his heart. He knew his eldest son's character best.
Even if he wasn't thinking about them, he would definitely be thinking about Wei Xi and the baby in her belly. How could it be possible that he hadn't even written a letter to her for nearly half a month?
The only answer is that something went wrong.
Jiang Yu's eyes changed. After a long silence, he looked at the three of them and slowly spoke: "Something really happened in Liuzhou. The Crown Prince and Young Master Yunchang have disappeared in Liuzhou."
He informed the three of the situations mentioned in Jiang Che's letter one by one.
"What? Big brother is missing?!"
Yun Yan stood up suddenly, and said anxiously: "Dad, this matter is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer. I am willing to lead the troops to Liuzhou to find my eldest brother."
"No."
Yun Zhong pondered for a moment, his deep eyes fell on him: "The disappearance of the crown prince and Sheng'er has not yet been made public. If we act rashly, their disappearance will be exposed, the situation will become more chaotic, and we might even alert the enemy."
Yun Yan said: "Then..."
Yun Zhong shook his head: "Missing doesn't mean they are in trouble. Have you forgotten what Dad taught you? The third thing a general should not do is to be quick to anger and be insulted. When marching or doing things, you must not be impatient."
Seeing Yun Yan's face full of worry, he wanted to say something starting with "but", but Yun Zhong raised his hand to interrupt him: "There is no but, your father has made up his mind, there is no need to say more."
Yun Yan gritted his teeth and turned to look at Yun Shuning: "Ning'er, please persuade Daddy. The baby in my sister-in-law's belly is about to be born. Big brother can't get into trouble no matter what. Otherwise, what will happen to my sister-in-law and the child?!"
Yun Yan has always been calm and collected, and he never has too many emotional fluctuations. This is the first time that Yun Shuning has seen him so excited.
She patted Yun Yan's back, thought for a moment, and said, "Second brother, don't be anxious. What Dad said makes sense. This matter cannot be rushed. Don't act rashly."
"Can you just ignore it? If something really happens to my brother, what should I do?"
Yun Shuning pursed her lips.
She knew that what her second brother said was right. It would be fine if nothing happened to her eldest brother, but if something really happened, then their waiting and waiting for an opportunity would become a regret and guilt that could never be erased in their lifetime.
Yun Shuning bit the soft flesh inside his lips and clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.
But there was a hand that gently held her hand.
His palms were a little hot, but for Yun Shuning, whose hands and feet were cold at the moment, the hot feeling was the most soothing and comforting. Yun Shuning felt the heat, his heart moved, and he looked up to meet those dark eyes.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her, saying, "Don't worry, I will go to Liuzhou in person with my father's arrangement to find the Crown Prince and Master Yunchang."
Yun Shuning stared at him blankly, wanting to say something, but opened his mouth and said nothing.
After a long while, she uttered three words with red eyes: "Thank you."
Jiang Yu smiled and rubbed her head: "What are you thanking me for?"
Yun Shuning turned away and stopped looking at him.
Yun Zhong saw this, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Rui. We still have some things to deal with in the mansion, so we won't stay any longer. Ning'er, Yan'er, let's go back first."
"Yes, Daddy." Yun Shuning agreed obediently and followed behind Yun Zhong and Yun Yan. Before leaving, she turned her head, blinked at Jiang Yu, and made a jumping gesture.
Jiang Yu immediately chuckled and raised the corners of his lips towards her knowingly.
Yun Shuning and the other two got on the carriage. As the wheels started rolling, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Yun Zhong and Yun Yan and said, "Dad, second brother, I think we should not tell my sister-in-law about my eldest brother's disappearance for the time being, so as not to upset her."
"Well," Yun Zhong sighed, "The fewer people who know about this, the better. Yun Li is a person who can't keep secrets, and your mother may not be able to bear this kind of stimulation. After you go back, just pretend that everything is fine and don't reveal any clues."
Yun Shuning felt a pang in his heart. He looked at Yun Yan and nodded heavily.
……
The huge and bright red sunset gradually sank into the western hills. In the distance, the sky was filled with sunset glow, and the sky was rich and bright layer by layer.
Yun Shuning rested his hands on the couch, daydreaming. The plum blossoms outside the window swayed gently in the cold wind, and the faint fragrance floated in the air. The window lattice made a slight sound, and a figure climbed in silently through the window.
Jiang Yu landed steadily, looked at her tenderly, and called softly, "Ning'er."
Yun Shuning immediately threw herself into his arms, her voice filled with reluctance: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Let's leave tonight." Jiang Yu hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head, stroking her long black hair, and smelling her unique fragrance with longing.
"So soon?" Yun Shuning raised her head from his arms, her face wrinkled. "If it weren't for my elder brother, you wouldn't have to take this risk. Otherwise, I'll go with you. After all, I have nothing to do in the capital, so I might as well go with you..."
"Little fool," Jiang Yu interrupted her by scratching her nose, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Even if your elder brother hadn't happened, I would still go. The prince is also my elder brother. How can I just leave him alone?"
"Then, if you encounter any danger, don't force it," Yun Shuning looked at him, "I don't want to...lose you."
The light jade fingertips gently wiped across the corners of her slightly red eyes. Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and gently placed a gentle kiss there.
