Chapter 92: A Little Bit of a Touch
It was obvious that he was aware of the dangers of the iron mine, but unlike Liu Song, Qi Liuchuan saw Lu Wanning before he could say anything.
He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, pursed his lips for a moment, and then spoke again with a firm tone.
He ordered Changqing to give him several tasks. He had already arranged people in Yanzhou City, and he had also investigated those who were unwilling to associate with the Governor of Qi but were forced to obey.
Qi Liuchuan already had some ideas in mind about who could use it and who should use it with caution, but he didn't expect Qi Guangsheng to be so cautious.
Before knowing his identity, they have already risked everything to kill him.
Chang Qing accepted the task and left. Song Yu stood aside. Qi Liuchuan continued, "We can't delay the current matter any longer. I've been in Yanzhou for so long. I'm sure those in the capital who are on the same page as Qi Guangsheng must have known about it by now. Qi Guangsheng thought I was dead and must have reported it."
"But I'm afraid Qi Guangsheng will soon know about An's visit to Yanzhou. We must make a quick decision now."
If we delay any further, Qi Muchao will be in danger.
Song Yu agreed very much. "As soon as we arrived here, the prince sent someone to Ruicheng to contact helpers. Now, Lieutenant General Xu in Ruicheng is ready. Our original plan was to take action immediately once we found His Highness. Now that His Highness is fine, why not take action tonight and catch Qi Guangsheng off guard?"
When it comes to this kind of fighting and killing, Song Yu seems to come alive.
In just a few words, he arranged everything, then asked the prince, "How is it?"
Qi Liuchuan nodded, "Okay, let's do it."
Lu Wanning listened to these people talking without saying a word, but she breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
The dark circles under her eyes showed that she had been unable to sleep at night for the past few days.
She was worried about Qi Muchao's health, but she couldn't stop him from doing what he should do.
Just from Changqing's concise narration, she could guess the cruelty in the iron mine, and he was not the only one suffering.
The sick, the elderly, and even teenagers filled with fear.
The night was dark. Except for a few secret guards who stayed behind to guard the courtyard, everyone else followed Changqing and Song Yu out.
Lu Wanning went to check on the Crown Prince and brought the prepared medicine to him.
Qi Liuchuan hasn't slept yet, perhaps because he can't sleep.
He sat up and looked at her, his eyes slightly smiling, "Are you worried?"
Lu Wanning shook her head and subconsciously retorted, "I just can't sleep."
It would be strange if I could sleep at this time.
Qi Liuchuan smiled, but didn't expose her. He just took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He said, "Anzhi has been weaker than ordinary people since he was a child. He can't do many things he wants to do. Over time, he became a little anxious. It must be difficult to get along with him."
Lu Wanning felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this and frowned, "Not really. He knows his temper very well, so just play along and it will be fine."
To be honest, she actually felt that Qi Muchao was quite easy to coax.
When she was with Chen Wenjian in her previous life, although she was not so cautious, because of Chen's mother's interference, there were always many rifts between her and Chen Wenjian.
It's really not easy. Today she has to be on guard against this person trying to trip her up, and tomorrow she has to be on guard against that person trying to trip her up. More importantly, apart from saying a few harmless words to comfort her and ask her not to be petty, Chen Wenjian rarely stands firmly on her side to help her out.
But Qi Muchao was different. Perhaps it was because he had already exposed his true face in sheep's clothing in front of Lu Wanning, so he was too lazy to disguise himself since then.
The two of them were like a broken jar. After all, they had seen each other's true colors and there was nothing to hide. It was actually much easier for them to get along than with others.
Thinking of this, Lu Wanning even found it strangely funny.
After watching Qi Liuchuan finish drinking the medicine, Lu Wanning walked out.
But what she just said still affected her thoughts.
Are you worried?
It seems so.
When she heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that Qi Muchao's personality was different from others and that it was not easy to get along with him, at that moment, the only feelings that rose in her heart seemed to be disagreement and protection.
After staring at the tea on the table silently for a long time, Lu Wanning's stagnant mind finally came to its senses.
She seemed, as if, probably, to be a little attracted to Qi Muchao, right?
Otherwise, why would she come to Yanzhou, which is full of dangers?
Hu Yan walked in from outside. Lu Wanning's eyes lit up and she collected her thoughts. "They're back?"
"No." Hu Yan shook her head. "It won't be that fast. Liu Song led the group to the Governor's Mansion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to capture Governor Qi alive and bring him back to the capital for a thorough interrogation."
"General Song led his men to the iron mine. Lieutenant General Xu from Ruicheng surrounded the mine early in the morning, and no one inside could escape."
Lu Wanning nodded, "I'm afraid those people will become desperate and drag the innocent people in the iron mine out to take the blame."
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness will definitely think of this in advance."
That's true. During the few days that Qi Muchao went to the iron mine, he didn't really go there to do hard labor. He must have planned everything inside.
But even so, the worry could not be dispelled. Lu Wanning simply pulled Hu Yan to sit next to her and whispered, "How long have you been with the prince?"
"It's been a long time. I was sold by my parents. Because I have decent qualifications, I was kept by the Dark Guards. Since then, I have been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
She didn't feel any sadness when she said this, as if being sold by her parents was not something worth being sad about.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Hu Yan smiled and said, "You don't know, Princess, but my parents gave birth to five children, all daughters. I am the third child in the family. My eldest sister is old enough to get married, my second sister can also do housework, my fourth sister is cute and adorable, and my youngest sister was born not long ago. I am the only one who is neither here nor there and has no sense of existence in the family."
"Being sold isn't such a bad thing for me."
She grinned.
Lu Wanning also smiled and patted Hu Yan's shoulder.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
The sky gradually brightened, but the alley was still closed and silent, as if no one lived there.
Lu Wanning hadn't slept all night. She saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's subordinates come in to report the news. When they came out, she quickly knocked on the door and went over.
Qi Liuchuan smiled when he saw her, "Everything is going well at the iron mine. I should be back soon."
Lu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything went smoothly.
Qi Muchao came back in the afternoon.
Following behind him, besides Changkong and several secret guards who were heading to the iron mine, there was also a man who looked quite strong.
