As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon.
Although Zhong Jiu's injuries appear to have healed on the surface, his muscles and bones still need some time to recover.
However, if it's just about being a boatman for Mu Run, that's perfectly fine.
Mu Run knew that he was Fu Yunchen's confidant, and also knew many secrets that were unknown to others.
Along the way, I can ask him about some of Fu Yunchen's private affairs.
Fu Yunchen once said that although they seemed to have been together for ten years, they hadn't actually spent much time together and naturally knew very little about each other.
"How long have you been following your king?" Mu Run asked Zhong Jiu.
Zhong Jiu replied, "It's been more than ten years."
"Then you must know him very well, right?" Mu Run sat down and looked at him.
Zhong Jiu neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "Princess, please feel free to ask anything you wish to know. I will tell you anything I know. His Majesty once gave us this order."
"Oh?" Mu Run really didn't know about this. "Then tell me, why did he suddenly attack the Central Jin Dynasty?"
“The Jin Dynasty crossed the king’s bottom line.”
"What bottom line?"
Zhong Jiu looked at her and finally replied, "It will be detrimental to the two young masters."
"I see." Mu Run understood. "Then he could have just told me. I've been guessing every day."
"His Majesty probably doesn't want the Queen to worry."
“I’m not worried because he said it outright. Why do you think I made this trip? It’s because he didn’t say anything and sent me back a boatload of women.”
"Actually... besides those women, there should also be a ship full of rare treasures sent back, right?"
"Mm." Mu Run nodded.
Seeing that his words had not addressed her directly, Zhong Jiu continued, "They should be the rewards the boss bestowed upon the soldiers of Chongyang Army. Otherwise, why would he send them back all the way here along with those valuables? They could have just disposed of them on the spot. The boss... the king is not fond of women."
"You should still call me Boss, and keep it low-key when addressing others."
"Yes, sister-in-law."
"Sigh! He didn't say a word, how was I supposed to know what he meant by sending back a boatload of beauties?" Mu Run looked at the river, feeling a surge of frustration. "He's just too infuriating."
Zhong Jiu dared not comment on Fu Yunchen. Whatever Mu Run said was a matter between the couple. If he said anything inappropriate, it would be considered insubordination.
...
Three days after Mu Run left the Chongyang Palace, Fu Yunchen, who was continuing his journey north, received the news.
Qiao Dongzi stood at the entrance of the central command tent, cautiously glancing at Fu Yunchen and the golden nanmu wood table on the ground, now broken into pieces like burning matches.
Fu Yunchen, who hadn't been angry for a while, smashed the table with a slap after learning that Mu Run had left the palace!
"When I left, I didn't leave a message saying that she absolutely couldn't leave the palace! Are all these people useless?!" The anger in Fu Yunchen's eyes was like that of a raging beast, capable of devouring people...
Qiao Dongzi really wanted to leave and stay far away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
But in the palace, everyone is one of our own, so we still have to speak up. Otherwise, if the boss issues an order, we'll all be in trouble.
“Boss, after you left the Queen, the person with the highest status and the most power is none other than the Queen. Wherever she wants to go, who dares to stop her? Also, you also... bear some responsibility for this matter.”
Fu Yunchen suddenly stared at him.
Qiao Dongzi was so startled that he almost knelt down. "I have told you more than once, boss, to write a letter back to your sister-in-law."
Fu Yunchen's expression turned extremely ugly.
