"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Hao smiled, picked up the teacup and took a big sip.
Sitting down next to Jiang Wan'er, Zhao Hao said, "Before, after conquering Black Cloud Village, I sent a team of spies into Yue Kingdom in order to keep an eye on them."
"In addition, in order to collect information about the Yue court, we also sent people to the Yue imperial capital."
"So, before returning to Beijing from Mubei City, I sent people to activate these hidden agents and let them pass on the message."
"I believe that the King of Pingliang will get the news soon."
"We'll see how he reacts then."
"If he makes a move, we'll help him."
"If he doesn't make a move, then we'll find a way to force him to do it."
"This is the only way to maximize the benefits of my work."
Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but ask, "Assuming that the King of Pingliang really doesn't make any move, how can we force him to take action?"
Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about this King of Pingliang, so I don't know where to start."
"It would be best to send some skilled spies over to get to know the King of Pingliang first before making any plans."
Jiang Wan'er nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"How about this, don't go back to Mubei City for now, go to Donghe City first."
Donghe City is where the King of Pingliang led his troops to station.
It is the border between Yue State and Dagan.
Without waiting for Zhao Hao to speak, Jiang Wan'er continued, "If we only send our undercover agents to gather information, it will easily delay important matters if we go back and forth."
“If you go in person, you can adapt to the situation, be more flexible and save time.”
"I give you the right to act at your own discretion."
Zhao Hao immediately said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as you. I just came back, and you want me to go to Donghe City again?"
"You could have sent another minister!"
"Why do you have to make me go?"
Jiang Wan'er said, "First of all, don't bother two masters with one thing. I have great faith in your ability to respond."
"Secondly, if we send other court officials, it would be too much of a move."
“It’s easy to be noticed.”
"You were originally in Mubei City. If you go there now, be careful and no one will notice you."
"So, it's most appropriate for you to go."
Zhao Hao shook his head like a rattle: "That won't work either. I just got back and I haven't even had a bite to eat..."
At this time, Eunuch Qu outside said, "Your Majesty, lunch is here."
Jiang Wan'er looked at Zhao Hao with her beautiful eyes and said, "Well, your meal is here!"
As he spoke, he called the person in.
Eunuch Qu led two young eunuchs, brought in the food, and carefully placed it on the table.
Then, he retreated silently.
Jiang Wan'er stood up, went over to pick up the towel that Zhao Hao had used, and gently wiped her hands.
Then he walked back, sat down again, and picked up the chopsticks.
Seeing Zhao Hao not moving, he immediately asked, "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat?"
Zhao Hao was speechless: "How can I eat this?"
Jiang Wan'er rolled her eyes at him, then started eating without saying anything.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao was even more speechless. He had to pick up his chopsticks and start eating together.
During the process, neither of them spoke.
After finishing her meal and putting down her chopsticks, Jiang Wan'er said, "Okay, now that you've finished my meal, go back and meet Yongning, then go home to see your parents, and leave tomorrow."
Zhao Hao didn't finish his meal and didn't say anything, just continued eating.
After eating, Zhao Hao stood up, saluted Jiang Wan'er, then turned around and walked outside.
Seeing that he didn't even turn his head, Jiang Wan'er immediately called him.
"Wait a moment!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Hao stopped.
But he didn't turn around.
Jiang Wan'er walked up to him and looked straight at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Are you really angry?"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "Not really, I'm just a little tired."
Jiang Wan'er slowly stretched out her hand and touched his face.
"I know you are tired."
"But now is the most stewardly moment."
"In order to be absolutely sure, I have no choice but to let you down."
"Don't be mad at me, okay?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Not really."
"I'll go back and see Yongning first."
"Let's go to Donghe City tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Zhao Hao also stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Wan'er's fair and smooth cheek.
"I'm leaving first."
After leaving the palace, Zhao Hao went straight back to the princess's mansion.
Princess Yongning was not in the palace.
He sent someone to look for him, and then he returned in a hurry.
When Yongning saw Zhao Hao, his nose suddenly felt sore and he couldn't help but cry.
Then, she threw herself directly into Zhao Hao's arms.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you write to let me know in advance?"
Zhao Hao hugged her back and let her cry in his arms.
"I just arrived and went straight into the palace."
Yongning raised his head: "Is there something important?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, that's why I came back in person. I have to leave tomorrow."
Yongning asked quickly: "Leaving tomorrow?"
Zhao Hao hummed, "Tomorrow morning, accompany me to visit my parents. We can stay there tonight, okay?"
Yongning nodded, wiped the tears from his face and said, "I'll do as you say."
Zhao Hao said softly: "Have you visited your parents recently? How are their health?"
Yongning nodded slightly: "I go there every now and then. Dad and Mom are both fine, but they miss you a lot."
