Xie Zhun, having spent little time with Ning Xi'er, naturally wouldn't leave.
If Zheng Ye has something to say, he should say it to his face...
Zheng Ye glanced at Ning Xi'er, then suddenly said that everything was fine.
Ning Xi'er suddenly realized that she had underestimated these people before...
Xuan Shuang, Zheng Ye, one after another!
Upon hearing Eunuch Xu's introduction, Xie Zhun dismissed everyone, leaving only Eunuch Xu, Xuanfeng, Haitang, and Zheng Ye.
With Wei Xunfang and Qin Yuan absent, Xie Zhun guessed that Ning Xi'er would ask about mineral excavation...
Only then did he dismiss the rest of the people.
As expected, Ning Xi'er asked Xie Zhun.
Xie Zhun personally introduced his mentor and senior brother Qin Yuan, saying that they had been traveling extensively these past few days, but...
Xie Zhun looked at Ning Xi'er with a smile, "There's progress on the iron ore matter..."
They collected some samples and wanted to wait for you to come back to confirm them...
Ning Xi'er nodded, then asked Xingming.
Upon hearing this, Haitang seized the opportunity to complain, "Your Highness, you're finally back!"
Manage the Taoist priests properly!
After you left, he disappeared somewhere, and you never saw him again!
We also have to worry that he might be arrested by the supervisor or soldiers!
Knowing that Xingming was useful to Ning Xier, the maids paid extra attention to him.
Ning Xi'er smiled reassuringly.
Having returned and gathered information, Ning Xi'er felt much more at ease.
The initial concern was that the military supervisor might be put in a difficult position, or that there might be other assassination attempts...
Ning Xi'er was worried about Xie Zhun and the others' safety...
As things stand, the past three days have been safe and sound, and thanks to the help of Xue Lin and Liao Yueming, they have been spared the hardship of forced labor...
This is truly an unexpected delight.
The main task at present is to support Xue in gaining an advantage, discuss countermeasures with Xie Zhun, and facilitate Liao Yueming's advance planning...
Ning Xi'er felt that she couldn't leave today...
This reminded me of another important matter.
We must expedite the training and arming of Zheng Ye, Xuan Feng, Hai Tang, and others!
After hearing everything, Ning Xi'er got up and prepared to visit the Duke and his wife, the First Madam and the Second Madam, and to pay her respects to Zheng Chengguang.
In front of everyone, Xie Zhun was still in a wheelchair, and Ning Xi'er personally pushed him to see his relatives.
Watching the two figures from the side, Eunuch Xu felt a warmth in his heart.
After such a bumpy journey, the Duke and his wife were quite exhausted, and their two wives served them.
Their joy at seeing Ning Xi'er return was no less than Ning Xi'er's own affection.
After exchanging brief pleasantries with Zheng Chengguang, Xie Zhun invited Zheng Chengguang to accompany him into the tent.
After Ning Xi'er returned, Xie Zhun had already arranged for people to search for Wei Xunfang and Qin Yuan.
While waiting for others, some of the spiritual spring liquid left by Ning Xi'er before she left was still left. Haitang and several other maids poured a few cups and sent them into the tent.
Ning Xi'er had just finished drinking when Xuan Feng reported from the doorway, "Your Highness, Mr. Wei and Mr. Qin have returned!"
Everyone straightened up, without deliberately standing up to greet them.
Wei Xunfang remained serious and unsmiling, but his gaze towards Ning Xier was much gentler.
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he even gave his junior brother Xie Zhun a mischievous look.
Ning Xi'er instructed Bai Zhi and Gan Cao to go find Xing Ming.
Inside the tent, Xie Zhun, Ning Xi'er, Eunuch Xu, Zheng Chengguang, Zheng Ye, Wei Xunfang, and Qin Yuan gathered together.
Xuanfeng and three other guards, along with Haitang and Aoxue, stood guard outside.
Xie Zhun glanced at Ning Xi'er, and the two understood each other without saying a word.
The situation in the capital, Ning Xi'er's intentions in returning this time...
Not a single word can be leaked.
Once everyone had arrived, Ning Xi'er began to recount the findings she had gathered in the capital and the palace.
The expressions on the faces of everyone seated changed.
Only Xie Zhun and Wei Xunfang remained calm.
No one asked how Ning Xi'er found out about the heavily guarded capital and how she managed to infiltrate the palace...
They discovered the emperor's true condition within the heavily guarded palace, as well as the situation of high-ranking officials of the third rank and above being kept under surveillance.
They were well aware of Ning Xi'er's abilities.
Having found trustworthy people before her, Ning Xi'er briefly explained the situation of the Marquis's residence and the Prime Minister's residence.
They only said they would take their mother, sister-in-law, nephews, and maternal grandfather's family to a safe place.
As for where this safe place is, Xie Zhun and Zheng Ye naturally know, while Eunuch Xu and Wei Xunfang have a rough idea.
After Ning Xi'er finished speaking, Xie Zhun slowly asked, "Where are General Ning and the young general?"
Ning Xi'er realized that Xie Zhun was concerned about her eldest and second brothers.
Thinking of them, Ning Xi'er's expression softened.
Her face darkened slightly as she recounted her arrival in the northern frontier and the experiences of her two brothers and the soldiers.
As a veteran, Zheng Chengguang is usually calm and composed in the face of adversity...
Upon hearing of the plight of the 50,000 soldiers in the northern frontier, he blushed and clenched his fists.
The others in the room were also indignant.
A moment later, Xie Zhun suddenly spoke up, "So, how many days from now do you plan to leave?"
