Chapter 192: Wang Fugui hasn’t come yet?
Lin Xiaoyue ultimately failed to successfully give the silver to Chen Yunyun. Watching the carriage galloping by, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping to bring her father back soon.
That night, only when the moon emerged and shimmered on the branches did Lin Xiaoyue see the figures of Zhan Ying and Chen Yunyun returning. "You're back! Did my dad wake up on the way?" Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously.
Chen Yunyun replied, "No, I told my parents when I got home and then I left immediately."
Lin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! I was really worried that Dad would wake up and embarrass you again! You sit down and rest for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and cook some noodles."
Chen Yunyun stopped Lin Xiaoyue and said, "No need. We figured we'd miss dinner anyway, so we ate on the way back. By the way, is there any news from the capital this afternoon?"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "No. After tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be the day of execution. I don't think the dog emperor will let the eldest princess and Master Jiacheng go! So, let's go to Yangmingshan tomorrow! Zhan Ying, after we leave, Zhan Tian, Zhan Wei, and Zhan Hu will all follow you!"
Zhan Ying nodded and replied, "Okay! Regardless of whether there's any news the day after tomorrow, I'll have Zhan Hu and Zhan Wei go to Shilipu and wait!"
Because she was going to Yangmingshan, Lin Xiaoyue had to bring a lot of things with her, so she planned to have someone move a few things tonight!
The three pigs that were bought have not been finished yet, and Lin Xiaoyue is not sure how long she will stay in the mountains, so she must take the pork away!
There were still more than a dozen chickens and ducks, which would starve to death if no one fed them. After raising them for a few days, Lin Xiaoyue couldn't bear to see them go hungry, so she brought a few large bamboo baskets and put all the chickens and ducks in them.
There were also medicinal herbs in the warehouse. These could all be used to heal illnesses! If she took them away, if anyone got injured on Yangming Mountain, she could make a simple herbal decoction. Besides, when the drunkard's legs and feet healed, he would also move to the valley to live. These things would have to be moved sooner or later! So Lin Xiaoyue carried out another bag of them from the warehouse.
Chen Yunyun grabbed Lin Xiaoyue and said jokingly, "Sister Lin, you said the living ones would starve to death, and pork would go rancid if left out for too long, but these herbs won't go bad, right? Why do we have to move these things too?"
Lin Xiaoyue explained, "Look, the Cheetah Army all live on Yangming Mountain. They're bound to get injured while rescuing people the day after tomorrow. Leaving the herbs here will just sit there. It's better to take them to Yangming Mountain. Then we can take Dad directly to Yangming Mountain, and he can heal everyone as soon as he arrives."
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "Sister Lin is right. If we don't move now, we'll have to move in a few days! But the carriage is full. Zhan Ying has already been sent there. Let's make another trip when he comes back!"
Lin Xiaoyue brushed off the dust on her hands and said, "Okay. Let's move quickly. Besides the warehouse, there's also the west wing where my father lives. Let's take away all his things!"
That night, Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun hardly slept. There were so many of the drunkard's things that it took them a long time to sort them out. When Zhan Ying pulled the last carriage to Yangmingshan, the sky was already faintly bright.
Lin Xiaoyue stretched and said, "Yunyun, let's take a nap! By the way, let's wait for news from Shopkeeper Wang!"
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "Okay!"
Then, she took Lin Xiaoyue to the east wing to rest.
Lin Xiaoyue did not sleep very soundly this time. Whenever she heard a noise in the yard, she would open her eyes and look out the window. To make sure it was not the sound of Wang Fugui coming back, she would close her eyes and go back to sleep.
Lin Xiaoyue was in a daze, half awake and half asleep. Around noon, she was awakened by the rumbling sound of her stomach.
She sat up, rubbed her flat belly, and said, "Yunyun, you sleep a little longer! I'll go cook."
Chen Yunyun was probably too tired from traveling and moving things yesterday. She could barely lift her eyelids. She murmured, "Hmm."
Then she fell asleep again.
Lin Xiaoyue covered her with a blanket with concern, then walked out alone.
At this time, Zhan Ying had returned. Seeing Lin Xiaoyue, he caringly advised, "Miss Lin, you went to bed late last night. You should go back and rest for a while! Zhan Tian can cook, but it's a little crude."
Lin Xiaoyue looked up and saw the curling smoke from the kitchen. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I can eat everything. Has Shopkeeper Wang been here? Any news from the capital?"
Zhan Ying shook his head and said, "Not yet. If Shopkeeper Wang doesn't come this morning, he'll definitely come in the afternoon. Don't worry, just go to Yangmingshan. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Lin Xiaoyue naturally wanted to get the news before leaving. After all, there were only three people left for Zhan Ying, and two of them were going to Shilipo! So making Zhan Ying run back and forth was not only troublesome, but if there was an accident at the city gate, Zhan Ying would not be able to rush back in time.
She immediately rejected Zhan Ying's suggestion and said, "No! I'll wait until after dinner. If Shopkeeper Wang doesn't come back, we'll go to Yangming Mountain. Later, if you get any news, unless it's good news like a successful rescue or Emperor Liang releasing someone, you must defend the city gates to the death. Don't notify us, and don't worry about our situation on the mountain!"
Zhan Ying wanted to refuse, but according to the plan, he and Zhan Tian were left at the city gate. If he left, all the pressure would be on Zhan Tian, which was very unfair to him.
But Miss Lin is such a good person, always thinking about everyone. During the time they have been together, she is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and is very kind to her master. She has been through life and death several times!
I would feel ashamed if I didn't do more to help Miss Lin! But we just don't have enough manpower this time!
"Okay! I'll remember it!" Zhan Ying agreed with difficulty.
Seeing that there was nothing for Lin Xiaoyue to do in the kitchen, she turned and went to the study to check on the grapes she was growing.
There were four boxes, and the other ones were wrapped tightly, making it inconvenient to look at them. So, Lin Xiaoyue lifted the one covered with a torn cotton coat and took a look. The surface of the soil was as calm as yesterday. She picked up the small boxes one by one and looked into the big box. The water level had dropped a little. Normally, she would not have needed to add water so quickly.
But since she was going out in the afternoon, she added some more, hoping that when she came back, she would see green seedlings emerging from the soil.
After adding water, Lin Xiaoyue put the small box back, then she entered the space to take out four bottles of golden healing medicine and four bottles of Yuan Zeng Dan to replenish vitality. She planned to give these to Zhan Ying and the others.
"Zhan Ying, look at my memory. These are the golden healing medicines and Yuan Zeng Dan prepared for you. You can carry them with you and use them whenever you need them." Lin Xiaoyue walked out of the study holding a white porcelain bottle.
Zhan Ying quickly took it and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Lin!"
At this moment, someone stumbled in from the small door, shouting, "Oh no! Oh no! Something terrible has happened in the capital!"
