Although Yuan Bohua was going back home, he still personally went up to the city wall to inspect it several times before taking his men back home in a carriage.
In fact, in order to see Yue'er earlier, Yuan Bohua wanted to ride back on horseback, but he was afraid of being scolded by Yue'er, so he finally chose to take the carriage back obediently.
Zhou Qiongyue was really happy to see Yuan Bohua coming back. She immediately got up from the recliner and led people out to the yard to greet him.
Yuan Bohua was so happy to see Zhou Qiongyue outside the main courtyard that he quickly walked over and took Zhou Qiongyue's hand. "Why are you out, Yue'er? It's so hot outside!"
Zhou Qiongyue immediately looked at Yuan Bohua's arm. "It's fine today. I don't know if it's my illusion, but it seems not to be that hot anymore. How is the prince's injury?"
Yuan Bohua took Zhou Qiongyue's hand with his uninjured hand and walked inside. "Don't worry, there's no infection at the moment. Yue'er's wine is still the best, but I don't know how it works."
Speaking of this, Yuan Bohua is indeed quite curious. Some of his colleagues who were injured with him were much less seriously injured than him, and their wounds were filled with pus.
He never believed in coincidences, especially since Gu Mei had to come and supervise every time the dressing was changed. If he couldn't see anything, he would seem stupid.
Zhou Qiongyue thought about it and tried her best to explain it so that Yuan Bohua could understand. "You can think of it as purified liquor. It can kill some very small insects that are invisible to the naked eye. Generally, fever caused by injuries is mostly caused by this."
This made Yuan Bohua excited, "Really?"
If this were true, perhaps those injured on the battlefield would have a better chance of survival.
Zhou Qiongyue knew what Yuan Bohua was thinking, but she still chose to nod truthfully.
When Yuan Bohua was ecstatic, he quickly interrupted and said, "Don't be happy yet. There is a but. However, making this kind of wine consumes a lot of grain. It is not something that the current Tianyuan Kingdom can afford."
Zhou Qiongyue's meaning was very clear. Those who went to the battlefield sometimes couldn't even gather enough food and supplies, let alone things like alcohol.
Yuan Bohua was not so pessimistic. "It will be fine. As time goes by, our Tianyuan country will get better and better."
Zhou Qiongyue listened to Yuan Bohua's firm and hopeful words. She was silent for a moment before nodding seriously, "Well, I'm far inferior to the prince."
Yuan Bohua disagreed with the princess's statement: "Our Yue'er is the best. You see, I can't think of such a thing."
Although Zhou Qiongyue didn't agree that the credit was hers, she was still happy with Yuan Bohua's words. Who doesn't like to hear good words?
While they were talking, the two of them were already sitting opposite each other at the tea table in the house.
Zhou Qiongyue saw Yuan Bohua sitting at the tea table, sipping a cup of tea leisurely. She could feel his contentment, "How come the prince has time to return home today?"
"My second cousin came to chat with me and offered to keep an eye on me for a night, so I took the opportunity to come back. What a great opportunity to steal a little time off!"
After saying this, Yuan Bohua took a sip of the teacup in his hand.
The Second Prince: No one is as thick-skinned as you, Yuan Bohua.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't know the twists and turns involved, and since Yuan Bohua had always had a good relationship with the Second Prince, she really believed it. She praised him sincerely, saying, "Second cousin can be quite loyal sometimes."
Yuan Bohua also felt the same way, "It's pretty good."
After Yuan Bohua echoed Zhou Qiongyue's words, he glanced at Zhou Qiongyue who was conscientiously making tea, and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Yue'er, have you heard the recent gossip about Yuan An?"
When Zhou Qiongyue heard Yuan Bohua bring up this topic, she immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at Yuan Bohua in surprise. "Your Highness, are you talking about the gossip about the Marquis Xuanping's mansion? Do you know who did it?"
When asked this, Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua with sparkling eyes.
Zhou Qiongyue was indeed curious about this gossip. If the prince did not come back today, she would go back to Cheng'en Marquis Mansion early tomorrow morning to ask her father.
Anyway, Zhou Qiongyue can't find it with her current ability.
Seeing this, Yuan Bohua put the teacup in his hand on the table and motioned Zhou Qiongyue to refill it.
Zhou Qiongyue was also very understanding and quickly refilled Yuan Bohua's tea. "Your Highness, are you ready to speak now?"
Yuan Bohua picked it up and took a sip slowly before pretending to clear his throat.
Zhou Qiongyue kept an expectant smile on her face, but in her heart she couldn't help but complain about Yuan Bohua, the guy who kept people in suspense.
Yuan Bohua finally asked the servants in the room to leave before he spoke: "It was done by the wife of the Marquis Xuanping. She drugged the Marquis Xuanping. He will no longer be able to have children. All the concubines in the backyard are dead."
When Yuan Bohua talked about gossip, she was not as detailed as other women, but her talk was simple and clear enough.
"Did the wife of Marquis Xuanping do it?" Zhou Qiongyue was indeed a little surprised. She still remembered how the wife of Marquis Xuanping looked when she saw her before. She was dignified and weak, in short, the epitome of being easy to bully. She really didn't expect that she could do such a thing.
"You didn't expect that, did you? The point is that Marquis Xuanping chose to cover it up for her. I wonder what leverage Marquis Xuanping has on his wife."
What Yuan Bohua couldn't understand the most was why Marquis Xuanping chose to reconcile. Not to mention his dignity as a man, but also the revenge for his son's murder.
Zhou Qiongyue could guess what Marquis Xuanping was thinking. After all, Xie Zixin had always felt that she was the only one who could hold that position.
"Maybe it's because of Concubine Xie! If everyone knew what kind of person Concubine Xie's mother was, then Xie Zixin would never be able to ascend to that position. How could Marquis Xuanping be willing to accept that?"
"Heh!" Yuan Bohua laughed sarcastically, looking down on people like Marquis Xuanping.
Yuan Bohua thought for a moment and added, "From now on, if you can refuse invitations to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, please do so! If you can't refuse, you've already brought enough people."
Zhou Qiongyue was a person who listened to advice, and although she admired the wife of the Marquis of Xuanping for protecting the interests of her children, their relationship had always been hostile, so it was better for her not to become the target of other people's calculations:
"I'll listen to the prince! But I'm curious, could it be that the prince has someone planted in the Xuanping Marquis's mansion? Can they even find out about such secret matters? Will they be purged?"
This is Zhou Qiongyue’s personal curiosity.
Yuan Bohua glanced at Zhou Qiongyue with a smile, "What are you thinking, Yue'er? I don't have that ability. It was the Second Prince who told me that. As for the Second Prince, he just came out of the Imperial Study this morning."
"Second cousin is still amazing!" Zhou Qiongyue was actually a little impressed by her second cousin, who was always at the forefront of gossip. She just didn't know if this gossip scared him.
