It seems that Miss Abei is really good at this! It seems that the palace will soon have a concubine, and who knows, there may be a little prince soon! Chu Younan didn't notice his thoughts, just because Chu Younan was concentrating on handling official business, and all he could think about was Su Bei's words when he left, "Come back for dinner in the evening."

This was what he wanted - the feeling of home.

After finishing his official duties, Chu Younan asked Ling Xiao, who was standing there in a daze, "What has Mo Gai Shi been doing recently?"

Ling Xiao came back to his senses and said, "General Mo's eldest son has also joined the army and served under General Han who guards the northern pass."

Chu Younan snorted coldly and said, "When winter comes, the barbarians outside the Great Wall will surely invade. That will be a good time for Mo Xiao to make merit. Besides, he has always had a good relationship with Han Dong, so he will definitely take care of him. In a few years, Mo Xiao will become one of his arms."

"Do you want me to send someone to do something so that Mo Xiao doesn't have a chance..."

Before Ling Xiao could finish, Chu Younan had already cast a sharp look at him, "If we help the Hu people win the battle, wouldn't we be traitors to our country?!"

Ling Xiao lowered his head hurriedly, "I was not thoughtful enough, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Chu Younan thought for a moment and raised the corner of his lips slightly, "I asked you to secretly protect Xue Jinrong a while ago. Is there any movement over there?"

"The people we sent over reported back that someone was indeed secretly watching Xue Jinrong, but our people were keeping a close eye on him. They tried twice but failed, so they decided to hold off for the time being."

Chu Younan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let the people sent there relax and give them a chance to strike!"

"Oh?" Ling Xiao was stunned. "Your Majesty, I am stupid. Didn't you ask us to protect Xue Jinrong?"

Chu Younan narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Then he said: "Before they take action, secretly inform King Jin of this matter!"

Ling Xiao was still puzzled, "Your Majesty, I don't understand why this happened."

"You naturally don't know that Prince Jin admires Xue Jinrong." Chu Younan said lightly.

Not only did he know that his younger brother Prince Jin admired Xue Jinrong, he also knew that Mo Xiao had made great contributions in a battle with the Hu people this winter, and when he returned to Kyoto next summer, he would have been promoted from sergeant to captain.

At that time, Mo Xiao will propose to Xue Jinrong, and the Mo family and Doctor Xue will become a married couple and become one.

Poor King Jin in his previous life, before he could express his love, someone else got there first, which made him depressed for a long time.

Chu Younan's plan not only destroyed Princess Mu's plan, but also helped Prince Jin. It would also destroy the marriage between the Mo family and the Xue family. It can be said to be a plan that kills three birds with one stone.

As for Mo Xiao, he was a romantic man in his previous life. I wonder if he will become depressed after knowing that Xue Jinrong is marrying Prince Jin in this life?

For several days in a row, Chu Younan had meals in the Peony Pavilion every night, and Su Bei "slept with him" every night. Mo's anger grew more and more intense, and she even had the idea of ​​assassinating Su Bei.

Chu Younan knew that it was time.

It was already late July, and the hot weather was making people feel restless. Su Bei's ice cream came in handy. After dinner every day, Chu Younan and Mo would each have a small bowl of it.

Of course, she would prepare a portion every night and put it in the ice cellar.

This could have been done by sending someone else to do it, but Chu Younan walked with her back to Lingfeng Pavilion every night, so he just treated this as an activity to help digestion.

That night, after dinner, Su Bei took a portion of freshly prepared ice cream and walked to the ice cellar with Chu Younan.

On weekdays, there were people watching over the ice cellar, but occasionally the guards would go to the bathroom, so Su Bei didn't find it strange that no one was watching today.

The two of them were silent, going down to the ice cellar to put the ice cream in as usual. After putting it in, they were about to go back up, but Chu Younan suddenly asked, "What is that?"

Following his gaze, Su Bei only saw a pile of large ice cubes, so he said, "There's nothing here!"

"Look!" Chu Younan walked over and took out a small bag from behind the ice. There was a rustling sound in the bag.

Su Bei walked over with white breath, took the bag from his hand, opened it, and the things inside actually glowed in the dim light. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! How can there be so many!"

The bag contained silver ingots, each weighing ten taels, and roughly estimated to be about twenty in total.

Chu Younan frowned and asked, "Who would hide so much silver here?"

Su Bei looked in the direction where he found the bag again and said, "I wonder if there are any more."

"Let's look for it!" Chu Younan said as he began to look carefully in the ice.

Su Bei rubbed his hands and hugged his shoulders, "Why don't you stop looking, it's so cold!"

"I'm afraid this silver was stolen by one of the servants. Let me take a look. Or you go up first!" Chu Younan said as he searched.

Su Bei wanted to go up, but then she thought, her master was looking for her here, and it would be inappropriate for her to run up. What would she do if this young man got angry again?

So she helped to look for it.

After searching for a long time, Su Bei actually found another bag behind the ice. She was so cold that she said hurriedly, "Okay, that's probably all we have. Let's go up!"

"Yeah!" Chu Younan looked at the two purses in her hands and said.

The two of them climbed up the stairs, and Chu Younan suddenly exclaimed, "Why is it closed?"

When they came down, the door of the ice cellar was clearly open, but now it was tightly closed. Chu Younan tried to pull the door again, but after a moment, he turned around and said, "Oh no! The door is locked!"

Su Bei was anxious. He hugged his shoulders and went up to the door, knocking on it and shouting, "Is anyone there? There's someone inside!"

But no one answered them. Who would come to steal ice cubes at this time of night? The gatekeeper must have locked the door and gone to sleep.

Su Bei's heart suddenly sank.

Seeing her holding her shoulders and breathing out white air, Chu Younan was calm and said, "Run a bit and you won't feel cold anymore."

Su Bei: It's all your fault! If you hadn't been so determined to find the purse, how could it have been locked in there? Humph! If I find it, it won't belong to me! I might even lose my life in there tomorrow! Although he had many complaints in his heart, Su Bei still put down the purse and started to walk down the stairs.

Chu Younan turned around and sat down on the stone steps at the door.

Su Bei ran up and down the stairs again and again. She ran six or seven times in total. There were eighty-eight steps in total. She counted them clearly. It was not so cold anymore, but she could no longer run.

"Huh! Huh! I'm so tired! I can't run like this all night, right? I'll be dead of exhaustion if I don't freeze to death!" Su Bei sat down next to Chu Younan while panting.

Chu Younan was meditating with his eyes closed, but when he heard her talking, he opened his eyes and said, "Then what do you say we should do?"
