Chapter 754: Yongning Hou's Thoughts
Han Muchen frowned and looked at Chuchu in his arms. She was still angry, otherwise she wouldn't talk to him like that.
The only thing I can do is to apologize sincerely and continue to coax her.
"Chu Chu, isn't it okay that I was wrong? I promise that next time..."
Han Muchen rested his chin on Qin Chuchu's shoulder and kept mumbling.
After talking for a while and seeing no response from Chu Chu, he leaned over.
“………………”The corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.
He actually fell asleep!
It's been a waste of time talking about feelings for so long.
Looking at the peaceful sleeping face in front of me, I still went up and gave her a kiss out of curiosity.
It seems that I am really tired today, otherwise I wouldn't fall asleep so quickly.
He tucked the quilt in for her, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked out.
When we arrived at the base, there was still no end of the line of horse-drawn carts waiting to transport food.
"Can you finish it tonight?"
He turned to look at Butler Liu who was busy.
"Almost. The ones from Jinzhou and Pingzhou have already been taken away. Now the only ones left are those from the capital."
As Butler Liu spoke, he pointed to the convoy behind him. Because the capital was quite far away, it was coming slower.
The nearby state capitals had already taken all the cabbages back.
"Yeah." The man nodded.
He took another look at the carriage loaded with vegetables, thinking that the people would be able to get some vegetables tomorrow.
While I was thinking about it, Feng Liu ran over.
"Master, the Marquis of Yongning is here!"
"Hmm?" the man frowned.
Looking in the direction of Feng Liuzhi's finger, I saw Marquis Yongning walking towards them.
He came so late, could it be related to the last ambush?
While he was thinking about it, Marquis Yongning had already come up to him and bowed respectfully.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
As Marquis Yongning spoke, he secretly glanced at everything around him. He had heard before about King Chen donating cabbages to the people, but he didn't expect it to be so much.
I saw countless carriages along the way, and now they are everywhere here.
Although it was getting dark, one could still see the glass covers reflecting light under the torches. They were the same as those seen in Qingzhou Prefecture. They must be greenhouses.
I was really shocked. So many greenhouses were full of vegetables, so they must be very old. No wonder so many horse-drawn carriages were needed to pull them.
Seeing Marquis Yongning's eyes darting around, the man probably guessed what he was thinking and raised the corners of his lips.
"Well, I wonder what the Marquis of Yongning wants here so late?"
"Oh, Your Highness, I am following Your Majesty's orders to thoroughly investigate the assassination case. Now that I have some clues, I have come to report to Your Highness."
"Oh! I'd like to hear the details." The man raised his eyebrows.
I didn't expect that Marquis Yongning would find a scapegoat so quickly.
“To be honest with you, Your Highness, that group of people are the bandits entrenched in Jinzhou Prefecture. They heard that the people in Qingzhou Prefecture were living a better life, so they became malicious.
I have already wiped out all the bandits, not a single one escaped. Your Highness, you can rest assured."
Marquis Yongning spoke with great authority, as if he had accomplished something great.
"Oh, then I will lead the people to express my gratitude to Marquis Yongning."
"Your Highness is in a serious condition. This is my duty as an old minister."
Marquis Yongning raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction. It seemed that King Chen believed it, and all his hard work for so many days was worth it.
"Marquis Yongning has been traveling all the way. Could you please have dinner?"
As Han Muchen spoke, he looked at the darkening sky. Coming here at this time must have been a deliberate decision.
Hearing what he said, Marquis Yongning hurriedly bowed to the man.
"To be honest, Your Highness, I rushed here today after dealing with those bandits and have not eaten anything."
While speaking, he pretended to be embarrassed, but he did it on purpose.
I arrived so late on purpose just to be able to stay.
Han Muchen surrounded the far north like an iron barrel, and the spies couldn't get in at all.
I just happened to have the opportunity to come here. How could I miss such a good opportunity? I thought I must explore it thoroughly.
Let’s see if the Far North is as good as those people say, and see what the situation is like.
As soon as he said this, Han Muchen had already guessed what was going on, and turned to look at Butler Liu.
"Ask Madam Liu to get some food for Marquis Yongning, and then arrange a room for him to rest."
"Yes." Butler Liu nodded in response.
He turned around and looked at Marquis Yongning again, extending his hand respectfully.
"Marquis Yongning, please come this way."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty."
Marquis Yongning also bowed to the man and followed Butler Liu.
Looking at the cunning figure's back, Feng Liu frowned.
"Master, he came prepared."
It was obvious that the Marquis of Yongning had no intention of leaving. Who would believe him if he said he had no intention of leaving?
“…………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.
How could I not see what even Feng Liu could see? There was a reason why I let him stay.
He came under the pretext of suppressing bandits for me and came so late. If I let him go like this, I will inevitably be criticized.
Although I don't care what others say, some things are better to be avoided.
He just wanted to come here to investigate. Although there were many big things happening right now, nothing could be hidden from the public.
It doesn't matter even if he knows about it. Besides, everyone will know everything here sooner or later.
If I'm not mistaken, the memorial submitted by General Cheng and his men two days ago should have already told you everything that happened here.
I think my father will know everything here soon.
Marquis Yongning followed behind Steward Liu, looking around as he walked. Although it was already dark, torches were lit everywhere, so the view was still quite clear.
I was very curious about what the house built underground looked like. When I actually saw it, I was shocked like everyone else.
Standing on the bluestone slabs in the yard, looking around like a fool, it was so different from what I had imagined.
Just as I was stretching my neck to look around, a familiar voice came from the front.
"Hey! Why are you here?"
“…………”Marquis Yongning frowned.
He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw that the person coming was General Cheng, his eyes widened instantly.
"Why are you here?"
He hurried over and pointed at him in surprise. He didn't expect this old man to come here.
Before General Cheng could say anything, Grand Tutor Sun and Lord Zhao came out of the room.
"Old Cheng, who are you talking to?"
"Master Zhao, Grand Tutor Sun, are you here too?"
Marquis Yongning was surprised again and looked the two of them up and down.
That’s right, it’s these two old guys who actually came here too.
"Why is the Marquis here?"
Grand Tutor Sun and Lord Zhao looked at the Marquis of Yongning in front of them with a look of surprise.
"I am here on the orders of the Emperor to investigate the assassination of the prince. When did you arrive?"
Marquis Yongning looked at the people in front of him with a puzzled look. He had heard that they had asked for leave before, but he didn't say they were together.
After hearing what he said, General Cheng and the others looked at each other and started to lie seriously.
"Oh, we met halfway!"
