"Yes! Sigh!"
Ma Changshan, who was happy because of Sheng Wanwan's arrival, and General Chu, who was finally able to get some fresh air after being locked up for so long, both had worried expressions on their faces.
"Grandfather, godfather, I know a place where there is grain. Tonight, I will go and steal some for you!"
Seeing the two old people looking worried, Sheng Wanwan suddenly remembered that in the original story, there was a large army of Prince Rui hidden in the Yongzhou Mountains. That army must have been around 100,000 people. Since there were soldiers, there must be food to feed them.
So she could go to the Yongzhou Mountains and steal some grain.
This would both weaken Prince Rui's power and help the starving refugees, achieving the best of both worlds.
"Do you know a place where there is grain? Where is it?" Ma Changshan asked in confusion.

"Not only I know, but Father also knows. However, Prince Rui's influence has already infiltrated various important positions in the capital, so we cannot act rashly for the time being. Therefore, my lord, I hope you can keep this a secret!"
Si Mingye didn't care about Ma Changshan's neglect of him. On the contrary, he admired this kind of loyal minister who didn't flatter but would do his best to serve the Great Yan country even in times of trouble.
"Yes! Your humble servant obeys!" Seeing that the young man was so composed and did not feel annoyed by his neglect, Ma Changshan immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him.
It wasn't that he disliked the Crown Prince, but rather that he was prone to becoming carried away when he was happy, and for a moment he neglected His Highness the Crown Prince.
