Chapter 343 Pei Chuyan Arrives
Lu Xingwan looked at his father in surprise.
[Father's inner strength is so deep that he can hear sounds from such a long distance? ]
[I heard it because I have spiritual power! As expected of a wise and powerful emperor, he is different from mortals like them.]
Song Qingyan was also surprised after hearing what Lu Xingwan said. She thought His Majesty was just busy with his own political affairs, but she didn't expect that he had also improved his martial arts.
It seems that I can't fall behind.
The only one who was embarrassed was the Emperor of Chu.
Of course, he had not improved his martial arts skills, so naturally he could not hear the sounds far away.
But it was only after hearing Wanwan's inner thoughts that I realized someone was coming up ahead. I didn't expect that Wanwan had misunderstood me. I guess I should be more careful in the future.
What the Emperor of Great Chu did not expect was that in addition to Pei Chuyan and his party from the capital, there was also Song Zhuo who came from Jinhu County with several soldiers.
"Your son greets you, father." The Emperor of Great Chu then noticed the Second Prince standing in front of him.
He said in surprise: "Why is Jin Yu here? Is there something wrong with your brother?"
The first reaction of the Great Chu Emperor was to worry about whether everything was going well for the Crown Prince in his current position of governor.
Although he had read the prince's previous letters and everything seemed normal, he was still worried that he would only report good news and not worries.
The second prince was startled when he heard this, then shook his head: "To answer the emperor's words, my brother is now in charge of the country, and everything is fine. My brother heard that my father was assassinated, so he asked me and Chu Yan to come together. After all, he felt relieved after seeing my father."
Knowing that the Great Chu Emperor still had things to do, the Second Prince did not delay: "Now that I have seen that my father is fine, I will set off for the capital tomorrow."
"With you by your brother's side, I feel relieved." The Great Chu Emperor nodded, and said nothing more to the Second Prince. He turned to look at Song Zhuo who was standing beside him: "Why is Song Zhuo here too?"
Song Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and explained his purpose.
He was indeed driven here by his father.
When the people in the Western Camp heard that His Majesty had been assassinated, they also guessed that it might be the work of Helian Hengxin. After all, the person who had been lurking beside He Bakui a few days ago came back to report that a group of assassins were missing from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I think it was the group of people who assassinated His Majesty.
Therefore, Song Zhuo came here to check whether His Majesty was injured in order to decide the next action of Marquis Dingguo.
The second was to inform my father about the disappearance of the assassins in He's mansion.
De'an County became lively overnight.
Lu Xingwan didn't care about these things. She stretched out her hands and rushed towards the Second Prince: "Second brother, hug me."
He looked at Lu Xingwan in surprise. He didn't expect that after only being out for a few days, her little mouth had become more and more clever.
After picking her up, the second prince turned to look at Song Qingyan and whispered to her aside.
"Don't worry, Madam Chen. Everything is fine in the palace now." After a pause, he decided to tell her the truth. "Sixth sister punished Miss Jinxin in the palace a few days ago. Now Miss Jinxin has been taken to the palace by my mother. Madam Chen, don't worry."
"As for my sixth sister, my grandmother has also confined her to the Jinxiu Palace for two months, waiting for my father to come back and deal with her."
"The Queen was also punished."
Song Qingyan knew that the Sixth Princess would always look for trouble, but she didn't expect that she would be unable to hold back just ten days after His Majesty left the palace.
[Lu Xing replied: This shameless person is always looking for trouble. ]
[Bring her here to mine! Let her have a taste of what it's like to mine here. Children in the countryside don't have enough food or warm clothes, but she has luxurious clothes and delicious food every day but she keeps making trouble. ]
[Why did Sister Jinxin get beaten for no reason? Just because she is a princess, is Sister Jinxin a servant? ]
【It really doesn’t make sense. 】
[Just like her mother, she doesn't care about human life at all. Sooner or later, she will die in her own hands.]
As Lu Xingwan spoke, he became angrier.
Song Qingyan was afraid that she would really get angry, so she quickly took her from the Second Prince's hands and patted her: "Wanwan, don't be angry. Wanwan still has to help father catch the bad guys, right?"
The Second Prince then looked towards the position of the Emperor of Great Chu in confusion.
The emperor wrote the letter in a hurry this time, so he did not write down the reason clearly, so the second prince was completely unaware of the illegal copper mining.
"De'an County Magistrate Jiang Pingyue reported that there is a mine on the outskirts of De'an County, and people are mining copper." The Emperor of Great Chu is now able to face this matter calmly.
Du Shan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, frowned. It seemed that there was no mining site determined by the imperial court in De'an County.
I don't know why Your Majesty summoned them to De'an County, but the fact that both the Prime Minister and Prince Pei came out shows that this matter is not a small matter.
Therefore, before leaving, Du Shan specially learned about the situation around De'an County from the recorded documents, so he was naturally clear about the copper mine issue.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and looked at the Great Chu Emperor with surprise: "Could it be that someone is privately mining copper?"
As soon as Du Shan said this, everyone in the room looked at him.
[It seems that Du Shan is a qualified minister of the Ministry of Revenue. At least he is much better than Guo Ping.]
[He is an official with brains.]
Prime Minister Lin turned to look at the Great Chu Emperor again. Seeing that he had no intention of denying it, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. "Copper ore is scarce in Great Chu, but there are still people who are privately mining it. This is truly a heinous crime that can lead to the extermination of all nine clans, and yet they are so brazen in doing so."
"Could it be that the De'an County Magistrate didn't find out?"
Hearing this, Jiang Pingyue knelt down again and said, "Your Excellency, it's not that I didn't notice it, it's just that this gang is too powerful. In recent years, I have sent many people to deliver letters to the capital, but they were all killed along the way."
The Great Chu Emperor was unwilling to listen to their nagging any more, so he turned to look at Pei Chuyan and said, "Jiang Pingyue knows where the copper mine is. Prince Pei, take a day off and bring people to surround the place tomorrow."
Pei Chuyan, who had been silent until now, finally stepped forward and spoke after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the news of our visit to De'an County will spread quickly."
"If we wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid those people will have already become alert. It would be better for me to lead people to surround that place immediately to prevent them from getting wind of something and running away."
[Look at this person's enlightenment. If you say that such a person cannot succeed, then who can succeed? ]
[This is the second male lead in the storybook. He is my favorite second male lead when I read the storybook. Unfortunately, there is no official wife for him in the storybook. Now I can't find a good family for him. ]
Song Qingyan smiled speechlessly. It seemed that her habit of being a matchmaker was passed on to Wanwan without any changes.
The Emperor of Great Chu was naturally attracted by Lu Xingwan's words.
Just now Wanwan said that she likes Pei Chuyan?
The Emperor of Great Chu turned around and looked at Pei Chuyan. This Prince Pei was indeed an outstanding man, but, wasn't the age difference a bit too big?
In addition, Prince Pei is mature despite his young age, and has become Wanwan's father.
