Chapter 671: Unexplained Panic



"This matter was negotiated by you, Prince, so naturally you will be responsible for it to the end!" Miao Qinghua spoke without even thinking.

"Then, if I am not in the capital during this period, who will be in charge of the government?"

Without a regent, the Miao family will naturally dominate!

Everyone present understood this principle.

Miao Qinghua's heart was beating very fast. If she didn't give Jing Yuchen a satisfactory reply, how could Jing Yuchen leave voluntarily?

"I recommend someone to take charge of the government." Zou Yangyao stepped forward and spoke proactively.

Miao Qinghua looked at him, her eyes narrowed slightly. "I wonder who General Zou thinks is qualified for the job?"

Zou Yangyao's expression was calm as he said calmly, "Prime Minister."

Ni Gaofei is a first-rank minister and Jing Yuchen's man. Even if Jing Yuchen leaves, he can leave everything to Ni Gaofei and feel at ease.

Although Miao Qinghua was hesitant, the Miao family did not step forward to stop her. Finally, she spoke: "Prince, what do you think?"

"The Queen Mother can decide for the Emperor."

In the end, all the affairs of the court were taken over by Ni Gaofei, and Jing Yuchen could go to sign the contract with peace of mind.

Jing Yuchen's contribution can be said to have saved Xian Chang, which is bound to win the hearts of the people and will be difficult to shake.

After Jing Yuchen returned, he told Ni Yueshan that he was going to sign the contract. Ni Yueshan was still holding Jing Xueer in her arms: "I'll ask Qingfeng and Qingluan to pack your bags for you."

"And yours."

Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise: "And mine?"

Jing Yuchen nodded: "Take you and your daughter with you."

Although Ni Yueshan was in a good mood, she suppressed her laughter. She pretended to be hesitant and asked, "Why did you bring us, mother and daughter? You're going there to do something important, not just to enjoy the scenery!"

Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth and put his arm on Ni Yueshan's shoulder: "We are going to travel and enjoy the scenery!"

Jing Xueer in Ni Yueshan's arms looked at Jing Yuchen with her round eyes and giggled. She was so cute that Jing Yuchen couldn't help but reach out and pinch her.

At this time, Ni Yueshan glanced at him in confusion.

Jing Yuchen was helpless and took the initiative to explain: "The contract was settled long ago, and I released Qiu Tianmi and Qiu Yuanrong long ago. I only reported it now because I thought the timing was just right!"

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne. Do you think now is the best time?" Ni Yueshan was surprised.

"If I leave for a while, people will think I'm working for Xian Chang. Isn't this the best time?"

Ni Yueshan thought so too, and finally raised an eyebrow: "You are really outstanding, you have fooled the whole court."

She giggled twice as she spoke, and Jing Xueer also giggled.

The mother and daughter are exactly alike...

Jing Yuchen stretched out his hand and was about to pinch again, but Ni Yueshan, holding the child, walked out: "I'll go tell someone to pack more of Xue'er's things."

Jing Yuchen called out to Ni Yueshan from behind with dissatisfaction: "Hey, I secured this opportunity for you to go on this trip. Shouldn't you be grateful?"

Ni Yueshan paused and looked back at Jing Yuchen, her eyes flickering. Finally, she slowly walked up to Jing Yuchen, looked at him, and said with a smile, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Ni Yueshan always had a cold look in her eyes, but now she looked at him with tenderness, even deliberately softening her voice. Jing Yuchen felt inexplicably uneasy...

He coughed awkwardly: "Just saying it casually, don't take it seriously!"

"How can that be? You've done so much for me, so of course I have to thank you!"

Ni Yueshan stretched out a hand to straighten Jing Yuchen's robe. "You are no longer a prince, but the regent. You must be given the respect of a regent. How about I wash your feet later?"

Jing Yuchen's mouth twitched. Could it be that he was planning to scald him to death with boiling water?

"...No need for that, I still need to go to the Prime Minister's Residence."

As she said this, she hurried out. Ni Yueshan smiled and said, "Then my husband, please come back soon so I can wash your feet."

Jing Yuchen felt his scalp tingling. Ni Yueshan pretending to be gentle only made him feel uneasy...

Shao Lecheng originally went to the temple, but received a letter sent to him by Jing Yuchen and hurried down the mountain.

By the time we got back to the capital, it was already dark.

Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were sitting in the courtyard, waiting for him.

Seeing the two of them, Shao Lecheng sat down on a stone bench and asked, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, we will probably meet Gou Qiong on the road. Why don't you come with us?" Ni Yueshan looked at Shao Lecheng with hope in his eyes.

When the four of us traveled together, we encountered many situations on the road and were no longer willing to travel.

But now they still think that traveling far away is traveling and having fun.

"Of course, but Gou Qiong is pregnant and her belly is so big, so she can't hurry. Your journey might be delayed."

Ni Yueshan shook his head: "It's okay!"

Shao Lecheng turned the small porcelain white teacup in his hand and looked at Jing Yuchen: "You are going to sign the contract, aren't you in a hurry?"

Jing Yuchen said calmly: "My wife said it's okay, then it's okay, let's go slowly..."

Shao Lecheng gave Jing Yuchen a thumbs up: "Willful."

The next day, the four of them set out together, but saw Zou Yangyao and Xiao Chuer appear at the door.

Xiao Chu'er walked forward slowly, her face, pure and elegant like a green lotus, full of displeasure. "Hey, you two are going on a long trip, and you didn't even tell me."

Ni Yueshan said helplessly, "I know you're busy and have a lot to do, so I didn't invite you. If I knew you wanted to go, I would have definitely invited you along. Why do you want to go?"

As he spoke, Ni Yueshan's eyes fell on Zou Yangyao: "By the way, didn't you say last time that you wanted to propose marriage? Have you prepared the betrothal gifts?"

Zou Yangyao's resolute face darkened: "It's just a joke."

"Tsk tsk, making fun of a girl? You really are..."

Ni Yueshan opened her mouth and wanted to teach Zou Yangyao a lesson, but Xiao Chuer quickly pulled Ni Yueshan back and said, "Don't pay attention to him. Let him do whatever he wants. There are so many people who want to marry me. He still has to wait in line!"

As she spoke, she pulled Ni Yueshan's hand and said with a smile, "Take me with you."

Although her voice was calm, it still sounded a bit angry.

"Okay, it's good to have you as an extra. If Gou Qiong gives birth on the way, I'll be relieved."

Zou Yangyao, dressed in black, stood at the doorway with a stern expression. His brows were almost furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. He looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise, "Aren't you going to sign a contract? Why are you meeting with Princess Gou Qiong?"

"Conflict?" Jing Yuchen replied coldly. Her phoenix eyes were sharp and cold when she looked at him.

Zou Yangyao pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Shao Lecheng had already boarded the carriage, a jug of wine in his hand, which he kept pouring into his mouth: "Have you finished talking? Let's get going!"
