Chapter 198 A bowl of fairy grass jelly, refreshing and cooling
The imperial envoy immediately looked at Prince Yong.
"Your Highness, embezzling weapons and hiding food and fodder is a serious matter."
Prince Yong nodded and looked at the Sixth Prince with a stern look: "You really don't know what's going on?"
The Sixth Prince quickly cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Wang, I really didn't know!"
The Imperial Envoy pursed his lips and said, "Then please, Your Majesty, and everyone else, follow me to check it out."
"Each weapon has different patterns engraved on it according to the batch. With just a little judgment, we can determine where these weapons come from."
After he finished speaking, he received the approval of King Yong.
The group turned over, mounted their horses, and headed towards the cave in a mighty procession.
Xiangying found a comfortable position and lay down.
She was looking forward to seeing these people's expressions when they found out that the weapons were hoarded by the Sixth Prince.
The imperial envoy and his entourage rode fast horses for an hour and finally arrived outside the cave.
After crawling into the cave with difficulty and taking a few steps, I saw piles of weapons and batches of food next to them.
The Sixth Prince looked extremely ugly.
When he first came, weren't all the weapons stored here stolen?
Now it is put together with food, how strange!
The imperial envoy stepped forward and bent down to examine the weapons.
He frowned and said, "Not only from Nanyue, but also from Western Zhou."
King Yong pondered: "Could it be that someone took advantage of the battle to capture the generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty and took away their weapons?"
Nowadays, it is very expensive to make an iron tool, and weapons are even more expensive.
It is possible that some people would secretly try to collect weapons, melt them into other objects and sell them for money.
But with so many weapons and food stored here, it's almost like a rebellion.
The imperial envoy went to inspect the weapons of Nanyue again and found that they were all engraved with magnolia patterns.
He narrowed his eyes, slowly stood up, and looked back at the Sixth Prince.
"Sixth Prince, if I remember correctly, Cao Ming's troops were using this batch of weapons. You applied to the Ministry of War for an additional 30,000 good bows. Was it just for the purpose of stockpiling them?"
The Sixth Prince was shocked: "Absolutely not! The weapons were distributed by Cao Ming, I know nothing about this."
Prince Yong asked seriously, "Where is Cao Ming?"
Governor Lu stepped forward and said, "Not long ago, he was executed for drugging the Sixth Prince."
Prince Yong and the imperial envoy looked at each other.
The imperial envoy frowned: "Why is it handled so suddenly? What is the specific crime?"
The governor of Lu said meaningfully: "Cao Ming dared to drug the Sixth Prince, causing him to favor a female prisoner from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
The imperial envoy's look became even more unpredictable.
"Let's not talk about the fact that Cao Ming is His Highness's man, so why did he drug His Highness? Moreover, even if His Highness favors her, she is a female prisoner of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is her blessing, so why are you in such a hurry to sentence Cao Ming to death?"
"Could it be that Your Highness is worried that Cao Ming might say something he shouldn't?"
The Sixth Prince looked extremely bad. Lu Hong deliberately made the two things sound as if they were related.
He shouted angrily: "Your Highness has absolutely no such intention!"
Prince Yong shouted, "You have disappointed me so much. Today you have said the most that you don't know and are not clear. But my brother has assigned you to be in charge of supervising the escort teams in Meicheng. How can you be so ignorant?"
The imperial envoy also said: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince neglected his duties despite being in such a high position. This is really disappointing to us."
He looked at Prince Yong and asked, "I need to write a memorial on this matter and send someone to send it back to the capital as fast as possible to wait for the emperor's decision. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Prince Yong nodded and said, "Let's do as you say."
Xie Chen took the opportunity to remind: "These rice grains should be moved back to Meicheng as soon as possible, the people are still waiting for the porridge to be distributed in the sheds."
King Yong looked at him approvingly and said, "Deputy General Jie, you will be in charge of setting up the tent to distribute porridge."
Xie Chen bowed: "Yes."
The Sixth Prince was so angry that his face turned pale.
He did everything, but Xie Chen got all the benefits?
The fact of providing free porridge in the tent would be recorded in the local county books, and the emperor would check it once a year.
The more credit Jie Chen gets, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.
The Sixth Prince was unwilling to give in, and stepped forward with gritted teeth: "Uncle Wang, then I..."
King Yong looked at him and reprimanded him, "Go back and reflect on your mistakes! This is ridiculous. You haven't even dealt with the matter in Meicheng yet, but you're already favoring the female prisoner from the Western Zhou Dynasty and even lied that you were drugged."
After saying this, Prince Yong flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly and left.
Even the imperial envoy shook his head, walked past the Sixth Prince, and went straight to follow Jie Chen.
The two began to discuss how many days they should provide free porridge to help the people of Meicheng tide over the difficulties.
Lu Hong walked past the Sixth Prince and said faintly, "Your Highness, it must be hard to be wronged, right?"
The Sixth Prince raised his eyes fiercely, but Lu Hong smiled and left.
This damn Lu Hong dared to laugh at him?
Xiangying saw all this through the drone and burst into laughter.
The Sixth Prince really deserved it. He lost his wife and his soldiers, and finally his relationship with these people became strained.
After taking the drone back, Xiangying took out a few bowls of prepared grass jelly from the space and lifted the curtain.
"Aren!" She waved her hand, and Aren, who was practicing martial arts with Lu Feiyi, hurried over.
When he smiled, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his healthy wheat-colored skin made his white teeth more prominent.
Ah Ren wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sister, what do you want to ask me?"
"I asked you to help me sprinkle the rice grains. You did a great job. Here, this is your reward."
She pointed to a few bowls of grass jelly nearby.
Black jelly sprinkled with red beans, honey, osmanthus, and crushed milk cubes.
Ah Ren's eyes lit up: "What is this?"
"This is called Herbal Jelly. I made it with herbs I picked from nearby. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat." Xiangying rubbed his hair.
Just as Ah Ren was about to eat, he noticed a pair of eager eyes looking at him.
He turned his head silently and saw that it was indeed Xiang Yuanxiao.
The chubby, fair little guy was standing not far away, with a fair face, a red mouth and watery black eyes.
He also had a bulging snack bag tied to his belt, which Xiangying had sewn specially for him.
Among the three little ones, Xiang Yuanxiao has the most snacks.
At this moment, he was still staring at the grass jelly in Ah Ren's hand.
Xiangying saw it from the corner of his eye and held back his laughter: "Don't look at him, just eat yours."
At this time, Xiang Yuanxiao came over with his calves stepping on the ground.
"Bad mother, what is this you gave to Brother Ren? Why have my brothers and sisters and I never eaten it before?"
Ah Ren immediately felt embarrassed and quickly gave up the bowl in his hand.
"Brother Yuanxiao, you guys eat first."
Xiang Yuanxiao stretched out his little hand to take it, but Xiang Ying grabbed it.
The little guy suddenly puffed up his white and tender face and looked at Xiangying like a puffed-up little dumpling.
"Yuan Xiao, I told you that you can only eat one snack a day. Today you have eaten milk cubes, so you can't eat grass jelly anymore."
Xiang Yuanxiao retorted: "That was what we ate in the morning. It's already noon now."
Xiangying tutted, "I can give it to you, but you can't eat tonight, okay?"
Xiangying needs to help her big boy control his weight.
The baby, who is only three and a half years old, has been raised by Xiangying and has become plump and white.
Now they are staying here temporarily, unlike before, they don't have to walk every day to consume their energy.
At that time, Xiang Yuanxiao ate two bowls of rice every day, but Xiang Ying would not say anything to him.
But it’s different now. The amount of exercise has decreased, so naturally we have to eat less.
When Xiang Yuanxiao heard that he couldn’t have dinner, he hesitated.
Tao Xue said from the side: "Prepare spare ribs for dinner."
Xiang Yuanxiao immediately withdrew his hand: "Forget it, I don't want to eat the grass jelly yet. It looks black and must be very bitter. Brother Ren, you can eat it yourself, hum."
He raised his little head, turned and left.
Ah Ren looked at Xiangying's face, and when he saw her smiling and nodding, he started eating without hesitation.
"So sweet!" As the milky taste flowed into his mouth, Ah Ren opened his eyes wide in surprise.
At this time, Lu Feiyi came over and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"What's sweet?"
Ah Ren quickly showed it to him: "Master, look, this is the delicacy that my sister made, it's called Grass Jelly!"
When seeing this bowl of black stuff, Lu Feiyi did not show the same surprise as others.
This surprised Xiangying a little.
Ordinary people would be curious when they see it for the first time.
But Lu Feiyi just patted Ah Ren on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your sister is so good to you."
Having said that, Lu Feiyi turned his head and began to praise Xiangying.
"You have always been able to make extraordinary delicacies along the way. If you settle down, it would be nice to open a shop. Business will surely be booming."
Xiangying suppressed the slight doubt in his heart about Lu Feiyi.
She smiled and said, "I'll consider it if there's a chance."
