"Oh dear, Miss, you're just teasing me!" Cuiguo stamped her foot shyly and ran out.
"Miss." Qinghua came in just as Cuiguo had left.
"Later, tell those people to familiarize themselves with the rules of the manor," Li Zhiwei instructed Qinghua.
"Yes!" Although Qinghua also had many questions in her mind, she habitually refrained from asking her master about his affairs.
On Wangxian Mountain
Everyone watched the spectacular scene at the mine with excitement.
"Qingsong, have someone investigate who owns this mountain." Xu Heming looked at the vast, barren mountainside, a sense of anticipation rising within him.
Now that this place is full of fine iron ore, their Lanno Kingdom will be the most powerful among all the kingdoms.
"yes!"
"Your Highness, may I go—" Gu Shixing waved the small hammer in his hand excitedly. He wanted to dig around and see if what was underground was all that kind of refined iron ore.
"Go!" Xu Heming was equally curious whether what was buried below was what they expected.
"Send people to guard this area." Xu Heming planned to personally go back and report this matter to the Emperor. After all, if mining was to be carried out, personnel still needed to be arranged to come.
Moreover, this hilltop should be private property.
The imperial court will recall them, but it will also have to give the original owner an explanation.
"Your Highness, I will certainly protect this area," Qingfeng quickly said.
After Xu Heming finished speaking, he quickly left.
Gu Shixing paid no attention to Xu Heming's departure. He took the hammer and carefully dug at the ground, afraid that he would use too much force and damage the iron ore they wanted.
At this moment, on the carriage heading to the capital, Cheng Qingli looked left and right but couldn't see anything wrong with the land deed.
She didn't understand why Li Zhiwei insisted on sending her to the palace and handing her over to her brother-in-law, the emperor.
Although it is said that the national treasury was so empty, it is not uncommon to hear that the national treasury is now much fuller.
Surely my brother-in-law, the emperor, wouldn't even want this land deed?
"Why don't you go back first?" Cheng Qingli said to Qingyue after thinking for a moment.
"Miss Cheng, I am here on your orders to ensure your safe arrival at the palace," Qingyue said slowly, glancing at Cheng Qingli.
"I know the palace much better than you do, you don't need to see me off." Cheng Qingli waved her hand, for some reason she always felt uncomfortable with Qingyue by her side.
This person seemed afraid she would run away.
However, just as Cheng Qingli thought this, she heard a 'whoosh!' sound.
She only felt something flash by, and then she saw an arrow stuck in the carriage next to her.
"Who are you? Shooting arrows in broad daylight!" Cheng Qingli shouted angrily.
Qingyue, however, stood guard behind Cheng Qingli with a wary expression.
At this moment, Qingyue had to admire Li Zhiwei; she had actually guessed correctly.
Miss Cheng actually encountered an assassin.
"Hey, judging from your posture, that person isn't coming for me, is he?" Even Cheng Qingli, who was usually oblivious, sensed something was wrong.
Otherwise, why did that arrow not hit other people's carriages, but instead hit her?
Did she offend someone?
