Princess Qi Yang ran to Jiang Qingqing and looked at her with a slightly surprised expression.
"Didn't we say we were going to Ba Village? We are just outside the gate of Kyoto. Where are the three...three brothers?"
She looked around but didn't see Jiang Chen, which made her even more confused.
Jiang Qingqing stood up and looked at Yan Luo, who nodded in understanding, then stood up and walked out.
"My brother has gone to Ba Village to wait for us. Don't let him wait alone in Ba Village. Let's go. We can talk about the details on the way."
As Jiang Qingqing spoke, she turned her head to pay attention to where Yan Luo was going. When she saw that she had gone back the same way, she withdrew her gaze with relief.
Just as she was having a quick conversation after rushing back to the hall, Jiang Qingqing was still worried whether the lackey shopkeeper had been intercepted.
So I asked Yanluo to make another trip to check just in case.
Here, they got on a carriage. While the female doctor was examining and feeling the patient, Jiang Qingqing was explaining to Princess Qi Yang why he had asked her to leave the capital.
"To be honest, my third brother made a deal with the emperor's uncle."
Jiang Qingqing pretended to be mysterious and serious and looked at Princess Qi Yang.
The female doctor who was taking her pulse froze when she heard this, and then turned to look at Gan Yuan who was sitting at the door of the carriage.
There was a silent hint in his eyes as he asked: Is this what I can hear?
Gan Yuan at the door did not expect that the young prince would bring up this topic. She was hesitating whether to change the carriage for the female doctor.
"You still dare to make a deal with the Emperor's uncle?!" Princess Qi Yang raised her voice slightly and looked at Jiang Qingqing in disbelief.
"Ah?" Jiang Qingqing was still racking her brains to think of how to make the story appear more realistic and feasible.
Princess Qi Yang noticed Jiang Qingqing's bewilderment. She suppressed her surprise a little, raised her hand, and motioned for her to continue.
"Why can't we make a deal with the emperor's uncle?"
"It's not that I can't do it," Princess Qi Yang touched her nose, she recalled the past and said happily, "There was a prince who wanted to do a deal with him. They were both young, and maybe he had squandered too much before and his family cut off his financial support. I don't know where he heard that opening a shop could make money, so he wanted to pull him in to open one."
"I don't remember the details very clearly, but I only know that the prince didn't make any money and even lost several hundred taels to him."
Princess Qi Yang seemed to have thought of something extremely miserable and shook her head with great sympathy.
The female doctor felt more and more uneasy as she listened.
This is the royal family's privacy, right? If she listens to these little gossips here, will she really not be killed?
"Well, this lady is fine. She probably just had a stomachache and then went to the toilet to relieve it." After the female doctor said this, she turned around and looked at Gan Yuan without hesitation.
His eyes were silently saying: My mission is completed. To save my life, can I leave now?
Jiang Qingqing was just pretending to be sick, and what the female doctor said was not wrong, so she waved her hand.
Then the carriage stopped, and the female doctor got off without looking back, and went to the carriage behind, ignoring what was happening outside the window.
Without outsiders around, Jiang Qingqing and Princess Qi Yang had more nagging to tossing and turning.
Jiang Qingqing explained why she cooperated with the emperor's uncle and what the current situation in Ba Village was.
As for why Jiang Qingqing called out Princess Qi Yang, it was mostly about finding someone to bear the scolding together.
The prince and princess suddenly wanted to leave Kyoto without even reporting it to the empress or the eldest princess. Obviously, this was an excessive situation.
However, in order to prevent the traitors from sending the core specialty of Apocalypse out of Li State, Jiang Qingqing had to do this. It was obviously too late to leave the city and return to Kyoto.
Then let's just do something big and go to Ba Village for a field investigation.
I have to go sooner or later anyway, the sooner the better, as for being scolded...
Who cares.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Ba Village. From a distance, Jiang Chen could be seen standing there, looking at the road ahead.
After the brother and sister met again, Jiang Chen came up and asked Jiang Qingqing what was going on.
Jiang Qingqing acted cute and took advantage of the situation to avoid the topic, and then the three of them wandered around the village of Bacun.
She put the worries of the lackey shopkeeper aside, then calmed down and looked around the village.
The area of Ba Village is not particularly large. Because it is close to the back half of the imperial city, the land is generally divided on the hillside. Looking from the village, you can see a few scattered houses on the hillside.
But more often than not, many houses have been vacated, and one can even see that people have been evacuated in a hurry. The whole village looks like an empty town.
No popularity, no fireworks.
Jiang Qingqing looked up at the piece of land halfway up the mountain, as if she was looking at some kind of Feng Shui treasure land.
"If this place is turned into a restaurant and the sightline is expanded, the scenery will definitely be first-class and beautiful. Also, this place is close to the water source, so we need to find a new river channel to introduce water, so that we can build a small courtyard."
Jiang Qingqing thought that wherever she saw was a good place for business. She pulled Jiang Chen to make a virtual plan for the division of the land, while she and Princess Qi Yang began to fantasize about romance.
There were three of them, not a lot of people, but they still made quite a noise.
After a short while, the official who was still serving as the chief official in the village government office was brought out.
The official saw a group of people walking in the village from a distance, and when he got closer he happened to hear what Jiang Chen said.
"According to your plan, there is no need for any civilians to live here."
As a village official near Kyoto, he had the honor of meeting His Royal Highness the Third Prince.
Hearing this, the official's knees weakened, and he looked at the group of people in panic. The more he listened to what they said, the more he felt that his job was about to be lost.
"I didn't intend to turn this place into a village. Kyoto is a prosperous area with such good feng shui, so the surrounding area should be prosperous at least."
Jiang Qingqing crossed her arms over her chest. She was particularly interested in the land on the hillside of Ba Village.
Just as the three of them were whispering about the terrain of Ba Village, they suddenly heard a commotion, and then saw horses running over. Xiao Linting was sitting astride a horse, and his target was walking straight in front of them.
"I'm fine, uncle."
When Jiang Qingqing saw Xiao Linting coming, her little face was filled with a bright smile, without any panic at all, as if it was natural for her to be in Ba Village.
Xiao Linting tightened the reins in his hands and looked at the three children standing in front of him. His handsome eyebrows frowned.
"Why are you coming here instead of eating at the stall in Kyoto?"
