"You sent Xing'er and Black Hawk to Wuzhou?" Xing'er came back to explain the situation to Chen Qiu and then went to pack up her things. Ye Chen then returned to Qiuchen Courtyard. Chen Qiu asked Ye Chen in confusion.
"Yes, there has been no news from the Order of the Phoenix for a long time. Do you remember the place I mentioned when Princess Duanjing died?"
"Fuze Cave in Langya Mountain?"
"yes"
Ye Chen sat down and continued, "Wuzhou is at the foot of Langya Mountain. Fuze Cave is the treasure cave of the Phoenix Society. They have no news at all now. They must be trying to find a way to open Fuze Cave. If they don't have money, their uprising will be delayed and will eventually be indefinitely."
"So, you want to send someone to verify it?" Chen Qiu handed a piece of cake to Ye Chen, "It's freshly made by Taohuazhai. Try it. I think it's pretty good."
Ye Chen took a bite of the dessert from Chen Qiu's hand. They had been married for almost two years, and Chen Qiu was no longer surprised by Ye Chen's behavior.
"Yeah, it's good."
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Now that we have this clue, we have to go and investigate. If they make any moves, we can prepare in advance. At least we can't let a large-scale war break out. If that happens, it will be the people who suffer."
"Well, Xing'er will definitely face a lot of danger on this trip. Although she is better at fighting than Mingyue, I am still worried, so I brought her a piece of soft armor." It is understandable that Chen Qiu is worried about Xing'er. Fortunately, she still has one piece, so it doesn't matter.
Ye Chen thought of something and asked hurriedly, "You didn't let Xing'er take the soft sword away again, did you?"
Chen Qiu laughed, "No, Xing'er doesn't use a sword. She's used to using a dagger. I gave her the dagger you gave me." Ye Chen didn't comment, but this would make her worry less about Xing'er, so there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, she still had another weapon she was good at.
"Madam, there's a letter from Northwest." It was Jin'er's voice outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin'er came in with a smile. Chen Qiu took the letter and opened it quickly. It was a letter from Chen Qiu's mother, Wang.
The more Shen Qiu looked at it, the deeper the smile on his face became. "That's great!"
"Let me guess, is my eldest brother getting married?" Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu with a smile. Seeing how happy she was, the reason why she was so happy must be related to Chen Yue.
This is the only thing that has to do with Shen Yue.
As expected, Chen Qiu handed the letter to Ye Chen, "Yes, big brother is getting married to Hong Ling, and the date is set for the 20th of the winter month, which is the 20th of next month."
"My husband, I'm so happy. This time, my elder brother really likes Hongling. I'm so happy for him to have someone close to him."
Seeing Chen Qiu's happy expression, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile with his eyes narrowed. "Qiu'er, since we can't go, why don't we have some fun at home that day?"
"No, it must be very lively over there with my elder brother and his family. When Hongling went back, I had already brought them a letter of wedding. The letter said that Lvliu was married and Chunhong wanted to come back to Kyoto next year and follow me."
"Well, sure. I guess when Xing'er and Black Hawk go out and come back this time, you'll have to prepare a dowry for Xing'er." Ye Chen folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Shen Qiu didn't react for a moment. It wasn't that she was slow, but Xing'er and Black Hawk had never had much interaction. Apart from the tasks assigned by Ye Chen, they rarely spent time together. Usually, Xing'er was in the courtyard handling matters of the inner house. Black Hawk had never met Xing'er alone.
Could it be in the northwest? "Did you find it in the northwest?" Chen Qiu couldn't think of any other time. Only in the northwest. After Chen Qiu came back, Xing'er and Black Hawk had been following Ye Chen. This was the longest time they had spent together, right?
"Even earlier!"
"Earlier? When?"
"I don't know. I only know that something went wrong between the two of them when they hid treasure for my uncle on the Double Ninth Festival last year." Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu with his mouth open. His small mouth was slightly open, and he was so surprised that he forgot to close it.
Ye Chen was mesmerized for a moment, and unconsciously went up and kissed those pink lips.
"Qiu'er, don't worry about other people's affairs. When they are getting married, they will naturally come to inform you. You just need to prepare the dowry for them." Chen Qiu glared at Ye Chen and raised his hand to touch his lips.
Ye Chen smiled at Chen Qiu's actions, then stood up and walked out, "I'll go to the palace and come back for dinner."
"Well, let Mu Qing follow." Chen Qiu sent Ye Chen out and asked Mu Qing to follow Ye Chen well.
After entering the palace, Ye Chen went straight to the study, "You sent people to Wuzhou?" Ye Chen directly told the emperor that he had sent people to Wuzhou.
"Yes, the treasure of Langya Mountain. Although the key is with me, I can't guarantee that they don't have other ways to open it." Ye Chen expressed his concerns.
"Without the treasure, they can't succeed. Did you send people there this time with the intention of finding out the situation and getting the treasure?" The uncle and nephew have a better and better understanding of each other.
Ye Chen nodded, "We'll try to find out the situation before the end of the year, and we must get these treasures out before they start a rebellion."
The two people had the same idea. Although Great Yin was facing external troubles, they were not a big threat. The Phoenix Society would be unable to sleep or eat unless it got rid of the emperor.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's almost done!" The emperor patted Ye Chen's shoulder.
"I'm almost done, but your work is not over yet. Your position means you are destined to have no free time." Ye Chen looked at the emperor with sympathy. The emperor smiled bitterly. He knew it himself.
"If these major events are over, what do you want to do? Do you want to get a job? You are the new top scholar this year." The emperor asked Ye Chen with a smile in his eyes.
Ye Chen stood up and prepared to leave, bowing solemnly like the emperor, "Your Majesty, I just want to be a rich and idle person, have some children with Qiu'er, and travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Great Yin Kingdom. Please don't give me any errands."
At first, seeing Ye Chen's attitude, the emperor was really frightened, thinking that this kid had changed his nature? But as soon as Ye Chen opened his mouth, the emperor knew that this kid could not spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. As expected, the court could not keep him. Well, the Chu family must have a free man, right?
When Ye Chen came out of the study, he was thinking about Wuzhou's affairs all the way. "Cousin!" It was An Ning's voice.
"Princess An Ning!" Ye Chen was as distant as ever. An Ning didn't get angry, she just sighed.
An Ning took three purses from the palace maid behind her and handed one to Ye Chen first. "This is a gift for my nephew. I haven't had the chance to leave the palace since I came back. Today, I heard from the palace maid that you entered the palace, so I thought of coming to find you and bring this back."
"I heard that my cousin's maid gave birth to twins. This is for her. Cousin, please help me take them back too."
Ye Chen could understand An Ning giving An An a gift, but he didn't quite understand why she gave Ming Yue a gift. How could a princess like her give a gift to the son of a seventh-rank guard? It wasn't that it wasn't allowed, but why?
