Chapter 85 Searching Chu Yingrui
"What? You figured it out so quickly?"
"What? Changsheng Temple is a den of private traders?"
"What? They caught everyone in just one night?"
Chu Yingrui looked at Chu Wuxun who came to report, and asked three questions in a row.
Although I know that Wuxun is very capable and I can handle anything with him...but, this speed is too fast.
I just gave this matter to Wuhen yesterday, and he figured it out in just one night?
And they found such a secret valley so quickly and efficiently, rescued the kidnapped child, and caught all those people in one fell swoop? !
Chu Wuxun nodded.
"Speaking of this matter, I have to thank Young Marquis Xie of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion and the second son of the Anyang Earl Jiang family. If they hadn't discovered the lair and brought people to take action, the process wouldn't have been so smooth."
Chu Wuxun had already known the whole story from Jiang Yueyao's inner voice, and he also knew Jiang Yueyao's little thoughts.
He simply asked for credit for Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuanbo.
However...
Chu Yingrui raised his eyebrows.
Jiang family?
These two words immediately stirred his sensitive heart.
I feel like if something involves the Jiang family...it must be unusual.
"Oh? They found out something was wrong? But why did the Jiang family... and the Xie family go outside the city and find out something was wrong by chance?"
Chu Wuxun lowered his eyes to hide the smile that flashed across his eyes.
How could he not understand Your Majesty's intention?
"It's a coincidence... The two young ladies of the Jiang family wanted to go to Changsheng Temple to pray for peace and happiness, so they went to the imperial manor outside the city in advance. The second son of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuanbo, and Xie Xiaohou escorted them all the way... It is said that there seemed to be thieves who wanted to rob the young ladies of the Jiang family that night, and then the second son of the Jiang family and Xie Xiaohou followed them and found something wrong."
In this passage, Chu Wuxun displayed a little bit of language art.
It didn't say that Jiang Yueyao was kidnapped, it just said that someone wanted to kidnap Miss Jiang...
From Chu Yingrui's perspective, that meant that those traffickers had been discovered before they succeeded. Even if rumors got out of the palace, it would not affect Jiang Yueyao's reputation.
After all…
Although Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuanbo wanted to protect Jiang Yueyao's reputation and did not reveal Jiang Yueyao's identity, someone would definitely investigate the details afterwards. Jiang Yueyao and her sister were also seen outside the Changsheng Temple by someone with ulterior motives...it would be better to find a more reasonable excuse.
Sure enough, after hearing Chu Wuxun’s words, Chu Yingrui’s thoughts were directly led astray by Chu Wuxun.
In an instant, the little flame in my heart was ignited.
"So that's how it is..."
"These people are so bold that they dare to touch me..."
The word "little fairy" almost came out of her mouth.
This is the little fairy that God prepared for him, a wise king and the son of destiny!
Someone actually dared to attack Jiang Yueyao!
"How dare you touch my people? You really don't know how to live or die!"
"These people must be severely punished to stop this evil trend of child trafficking."
"In addition, Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuanbai have made great contributions in destroying the smuggling den. Here is a reward..."
Chu Yingrui hesitated for a moment, then turned back to his desk and picked up his pen.
Young Hero*2
"Make it into a plaque and give it to Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuanbai as a reward."
Giving gold and silver as gifts is so vulgar.
It’s better to give a character!
Chu Yingrui was very happy.
The truth is that the emperor doesn't have much money.
In the past few years, there were internal strife in the Great Chu, and the kings were in chaos... I finally ascended the throne, but the border is still in turmoil... This is all money.
Chu Yingrui is a careful planner.
But just giving a plaque is still too simple.
"Summon Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuanbai to the palace. It would be a waste of talent if such young heroes were left idle at home."
Chu Yingrui pondered over what positions he should assign to these two people... Young people should be properly trained.
in addition……
Chu Yingrui always felt that this matter was going too smoothly, and he was afraid that it might have something to do with that little girl Jiang Yueyao.
Could it be that she knew something else?
No, I have to call her into the palace so that I can hear Jiang Yueyao’s real thoughts in person.
But what excuse can I make?
I have to find a reason that is reasonable and does not attract attention... Otherwise, when that little girl Jiang Yueyao enters the palace, she will scold me as a cuckold.
Thinking of this, Chu Yingrui couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He is an emperor, but he is still worried about being scolded... The key is that this little girl Jiang Yueyao is the only one who dares to scold him in front of him, but he has no way to refute or punish her.
Thinking about...
Suddenly, the voices of the young eunuch and Princess Jiayi were heard from outside the door.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned King Jing to question him. It is really inconvenient for you to go in now."
"Ah, so that's it... Jiayi made something delicious and wanted to let father taste it first."
Chu Yingrui's eyes lit up.
Hey, here comes the excuse, right?
"Is that Jiayi? Come in!"
Immediately, a eunuch from the inner hall ran to the door, the door opened, and Princess Jiayi walked in happily carrying a food box.
"Father."
"I heard that you were chatting with brother Jing Wang, and Jiayi was still thinking about not being able to see the emperor again."
Chu Yingrui stood up, walked to Princess Jiayi, and rubbed his daughter's head with a smile.
"Father and your brother Prince Jing have finished their talk... Why did you come here in such a cold weather? Are you frozen?"
Princess Jiayi was born prematurely and had been in poor health since childhood. She almost died several times when she was a child. In addition, she was the youngest daughter of the Queen, so Chu Yingrui naturally loved and cared for this daughter even more.
"Hey, I'm wearing a lot of clothes. I'm not cold at all."
Chu Jiayi giggled and raised the food box.
"Father, have you ever heard of cooking? This was invented by Yue Yao."
"After she left the palace yesterday, she sent a set of cooking utensils to the palace, along with several recipes. I asked the chef to prepare a few dishes for you, my father, to try. They are quite delicious."
If Jiang Yueyao were here, she would be so moved that she would burst into tears after hearing what Princess Jiayi said.
Princess, you are simply my little cotton-padded jacket!
Jiang Yueyao had cooking utensils delivered to the palace so that people in the palace could also eat cooked dishes.
Of course... this is not because Jiang Yueyao has a saintly heart.
It's because... if the people in the palace like to eat stir-fried food, then her Zuixianlou will be even more popular? !
After all, His Majesty and His Majesty both said it was delicious after eating it!
Not to mention... Jiang Yueyao will have to study in the palace for a long time in the future, so if she brings cooking into the palace, she can enjoy it too.
So after leaving Zuixianlou yesterday, Jiang Yueyao immediately had a complete set of cooking utensils delivered to the palace, along with several recipes, all of which she had written based on her impression of the Empress' taste.
"This Jiang Yueyao is really thoughtful."
Chu Yingrui was indeed very pleased.
"My Jiayi is also filial and obedient."
"By the way, have you sent a portion of this dish to your mother?"
Chu Jiayi smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, of course I will... It's a pity that I heard Yueyao say before that she can make something even more delicious, but Yueyao didn't give me the recipe..."
Chu Yingrui's eyes lit up instantly: ...
"Then what are you waiting for? Father will let Jiang Yueyao come to the palace to teach you!"
