Chapter 88: Full of Mysteries
"What did the prince experience in the mountains?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Fu Mo shook his head: "I don't know."
"I didn't go into the mountains with the prince."
"The ones who went into the mountains with the prince were local soldiers. Oh, and Ao Yun was worried, so he secretly followed them. It was Ao Yun who carried the prince out on his back."
"Ao Yun didn't tell us about the prince's experience."
"At the time, our attention was focused on the prince's high fever. Since he had no wounds, we simply thought it was miasma poisoning and didn't think much of it."
Fu Mo asked Xie Yingmian worriedly, "Princess, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Is there something wrong with the prince's health?"
"That high fever won't leave any sequelae, right?"
Xie Yingmian nodded: "Yes, there are some sequelae."
Fu Mo was very nervous: "There really are sequelae!"
"Then, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not become a fool, right?"
Xie Yingmian chuckled: "Be careful if he hears you, he'll deduct your salary."
"Don't worry, he's fine. It was the high fever that changed his pulse."
"Your prince's pulse is different from that of ordinary people. It may be normal one moment and become a dangerous pulse the next."
Fu Mo said "Oh" to indicate that everything was fine.
He said, "Pei Xun had said long ago that the prince's pulse was a little strange, but he couldn't find the cause. It turns out it was caused by that high fever."
"It seems that I have wronged that old doctor Cui."
Xie Yingmian's mind was in a mess.
Everything is tangled in my mind like a tangled mess.
There are so many clues that I don’t know where to find the exact thread.
"Is the Lingnan border far from Dingyun Mountain?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Fu Mo: "Not too far."
"If we take a carriage, it will take about half a month. Riding a horse is faster and we can arrive within ten days."
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
What Yu Lingye and Fu Mo said was not too far was actually quite far.
"Do you have a map?"
Fu Mo brought the map.
Xie Yingmian found Shangjing, the Lingnan border and Dingyun Mountain on the map.
These three places form a triangle.
Geographically, there is almost no overlap.
There are many mysteries.
To solve it, you need to explore and unravel it bit by bit.
Having almost finished asking the necessary questions, Xie Yingmian left the wine and barbecue to Fu Mo: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
"You don't need to wait here, go to sleep."
When Fu Mo saw that Xie Yingmian left all the barbecue to him, he was very happy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Xie Yingmian walked forward for a while and then thought of something.
She turned back.
Then, he saw Fu Mo, who had been eating meat and drinking wine politely just now, now wolfing down his food.
He held a skewer of meat in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.
Take a big bite of meat and drink a big gulp of wine with a heroic attitude.
Fu Mo didn't expect Xie Yingmian to return.
He was a little embarrassed: "Ha, Princess, why did you come back so suddenly?"
“This barbecue is delicious.”
"How did you do that?"
"I've made this before, but why does it taste so different from what the princess makes?"
"And that chiffon cake. It has a weird name, but it tastes amazing. It's different from ordinary desserts."
Xie Yingmian: "Alright, stop praising me."
Fu Mo scratched his head sheepishly: "I'm not exaggerating, it's really delicious."
"When will you make chiffon cake again? Xiaokui asked me that in the evening."
Xie Yingmian said, "I don't want to do it for now."
Fu Mo: "Don't."
If there was no chiffon cake, he was afraid that the pervert Xiao Kui would go to the princess in person.
Xie Yingmian: "I'll make something else. It tastes just as good as chiffon cake."
Fu Mo was surprised: "Then I'm really looking forward to it."
"Please let me taste it first, Princess."
Xie Yingmian sneered, "And then bury me, pot and soup, in the ground?"
Fu Mo scratched his head embarrassedly: "Last time it was an accident. I thought the princess was cooking manure. It was a misunderstanding. I will definitely not do it again next time."
Xie Yingmian: ...
God, cook shit!
"Let's get down to business. I asked you to help me find a well-informed person to deal with the Xie family. Is that person still in Shangjing?"
Fu Mo: "Yes."
"Okay, invite him to the palace in the next two days." Xie Yingmian said.
"Then, Princess, have you been making delicious food recently? Preferably sweet." Fu Mo asked.
He explained, "Tu Bufan has a bit of a strange temper. If there's something delicious, he's more likely to come. Oh, Tu Bufan is the one I found for the princess to deal with the Xie family."
"I thought, after all, you are the daughter of the Xie family. Some things should not be done too obviously, otherwise it would be bad if someone caught you."
"Tu Bufan is an expert in this area. If he is willing to help, not only will you, Your Highness, be able to become completely invisible, but the Xie family will also be able to survive."
Xie Yingmian looked at Fu Mo in surprise.
Fu Mo looks cold and silly, but unexpectedly he is quite thoughtful.
"I'll replicate the new dessert tomorrow," she said.
"Okay." Fu Mo smiled, revealing his pointed little fangs. "Then I'll send him a letter early tomorrow morning."
…
A dreamless night.
The next morning.
When Yu Lingye woke up, his fever had subsided and his mental state had visibly improved.
He couldn't sit still, so after breakfast, he concentrated on dealing with the documents that had been piled up for a long time.
Xie Yingmian leaned over to the table and took a look.
The folding paper is not the bright yellow folding paper commonly used by the royal family.
The colors are blue and purple.
Blue is the majority, but there are also quite a few purple ones.
What Yu Lingye was holding in his hand was a purple folding paper.
"This is a folding paper?" Xie Yingmian asked curiously, "Why are there blue and purple ones?"
Yu Lingye patiently explained, "It's a memorial from the fiefdom."
"Blue represents ordinary matters, which can be handled by Yan Qing and others."
"Purple means urgent matters. I need to review it."
Xie Yingmian moved closer curiously.
The letter was filled with tiny, densely packed handwriting.
She took a few glances at it and could barely make out something about it saying it had rained for three consecutive months.
I started to get a headache when I looked down further.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xie Yingmian said, "Just work hard. I'll go to the kitchen and make something to eat."
Yu Lingye frowned.
He was looking from the bottom up.
The higher you go, the earlier the date.
At first, the memorial simply said that it had rained for three consecutive months and that grain production might decrease.
Later, a memorial said that due to excessive rain, grain production was expected to decrease by 20%.
Later, rivers burst their banks, a large amount of fertile land was flooded, and grain production was expected to decrease by 40%.
Later, grain production dropped by 60%, fertile fields were flooded and unable to drain, affecting autumn plowing.
Later, the autumn plowing failed, the seeds could not germinate, and the grain production was reduced by 50%, so it could not survive until the next spring. They requested tax reduction and exemption, and the opening of granaries for disaster relief...
Yu Lingye’s expression became more and more solemn.
His original fiefdom was set by his father, and it was one of the richest places in the Dayu Dynasty.
After his father passed away, the current emperor, his brother, took back the original fiefdom for various reasons.
He was given several of the poorest cities in the Dayu Dynasty as new fiefdoms.
