The next day, Yun Qingluo cooked a big meal for Mo Beichen.
Today marks the first day of their official investigation in Miao territory.
Therefore, it is essential to make a good start.
She wanted to cook a big feast and have a meal with Mo Beichen and everyone who had come along, to boost morale.
When Yun Qingluo woke up in the morning, Mo Beichen had already left. Mo Feng said that he wanted to take advantage of the arrival of the army to find out the details of the place.
Yes, she and Mo Beichen were actually traveling incognito.
He should go and find out what's going on here today.
Yun Qingluo ate a simple breakfast and then took An Jiu into the kitchen.
An Jiu was someone they had already sent to arrange a place for when they decided to come to Southern Xinjiang.
"Your Majesty, are you cooking for His Majesty?" An Jiu looked at Yun Qingluo with expectant eyes.
Yun Qingluo glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.
"I'll do a little more. You've worked hard these past few days, so I'll treat you to something nice," Yun Qingluo said with a smile.
An Jiu patted her chest excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please feel free to ask me for any tasks you need, such as starting a fire, washing vegetables, or peeling them."
Yun Qingluo nodded. "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony. Go wash the pumpkin and peel it."
An Jiu went off to work with great enthusiasm.
Xiao Yi smiled mischievously, "Oh, you're so naughty! But I love it so much, you clearly want to do more. Poor An Jiu..."
Yun Qingluo smiled faintly and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, I've washed a piece of pumpkin, peeled it, and cut it into chunks. Are you going to steam it? I'll start the fire."
Yun Qingluo was still struggling with Xiao Yi at the limit when An Jiu shouted that he was ready.
Yun Qingluo's face showed a look of shock, "So fast?"
An Jiu chuckled. He rubbed the back of his head a little embarrassedly, glanced at the sliced pumpkin, and finally told the truth.
"Actually, I really wanted to eat the food that Your Majesty makes, but I was too embarrassed to say it. So I prepared the pumpkin this morning, thinking that if Your Majesty could use it, she could; if not, I would give it to the kitchen staff to cook with."
Yun Qingluo said, "You can tell me if you want to eat. You are the first bodyguard I got from A-Chen, so you are different."
"Alright, you can leave it there. I'll make it in a bit," Yun Qingluo said.
Mo Beichen was in a hidden cell under the name of the First Building.
The room was simply furnished yet elegant. Mo Beichen sat by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
He asked in a low voice, "Where is the army?"
Mo Feng replied, "Your Majesty, it will take about ten more days to reach the Southern Frontier. If we want to get to the Miao region, it will probably take another day or so."
Mo Beichen nodded. "Send a message to them, instructing the army to speed up its march."
They had already separated from the army when they left the capital.
They went ahead and set off to southern Xinjiang to gather information.
The army should march slowly later; otherwise, if they come with the main army, there will be problems with the time.
Moreover, there's likely something fishy going on here, since the powerful forces here are intertwined and must have known about their arrival long ago.
However, since the decision to personally lead the expedition was made at the last minute, apart from a few ministers he specifically informed, no one else had time to prepare.
So when they received the news from the southern border and sent people to investigate, they had already gone far away.
They simply left before anyone could react.
However, Mo Beichen estimated that what happened with Doctor Xu had probably already spread.
Perhaps some people already know they are coming.
