Chapter 143 Personnel deployment, a loving mother's heart

After Jin Yao left Nangong Ya's study, he went straight to the side yard, where the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion lived.

The law stipulates that officials can have guards in their mansions to protect their own safety, but the number is strictly limited. As the prime minister of a dynasty, Nangong Ya can only have eight guards. In addition to him and Jin Hui, there are six more people here.

However, eight people are not enough anyway. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. The Prime Minister's Mansion only has eight guards on the surface, but it is hard to say how many there are in reality.

Jin Yao found Sheng Jing who was drinking and said directly: "The Prime Minister has ordered to find out the whereabouts and experiences of the third lady in the past few months. You should take two people to Qushui City tomorrow." Sheng Jing

was also among those who tracked down the human trafficker Wei Fangxiong last time, so it was just right for him to lead the group.

Sheng Jing nodded without saying much.

"We need to find out where the third lady was sold to, who she met along the way, and how she got back to the capital... Everything, no matter how big or small, must be found out." Jin Yao explained seriously.

"Don't worry, boss, I will set out early tomorrow morning, call Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, and I will send you a message if I find any useful information."

Sheng Jing finished speaking, picked up the wine and drank it all.

Jin Yao said "hmm", turned around and went to the next room to find Jin Hui.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Jin Hui was ready to go to bed, and when he saw Jin Yao coming, he got up quickly.

"The third young lady climbed over the wall tonight and left the house, and it seems that she will not come back. You take a few people to look for her tomorrow."

"Climb, climb over the wall?" Jin Hui suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, she climbed over in front of me, and she climbed faster than me."

Jin Yao didn't want to admit it, but it was indeed the fact that he climbed over the wall as smoothly as the third young lady. Ignoring

his brother's shock, Jin Yao continued: "Sheng Jing, Xiaowu, and Xiaoliu have been arranged to go out, and I can't leave. There must be at least two people around the adults, which means that in addition to you, there is only one person left to look for the third young lady."

"Who knows where the third young lady will go? Where can we two go to find her?" Jin Hui felt a little overwhelmed.

This question stumped Jin Yao. He thought for a while before saying, "Looking in the capital now, the third young lady should not have left the capital yet. As for manpower, you two should take care of it and do your best. Be careful to keep a low profile and don't make a big fuss. Many eyes are watching you now."

After arranging everything, Jin Yao walked out of the door and walked towards his own room. Halfway through, a drizzle fell from the dark gray clouds.

When passing by the ancestral hall, Jin Yao saw a figure carrying a large box in his hand and holding something in his arms. He squinted his eyes and identified it carefully. Oh, it turned out to be Luo Siyi's maid Yinggu.

The two servants at the door of the ancestral hall wanted to stop them, but they put their hands down again after they raised them. They watched Yinggu push the door open and walk in. The two stood in the corridor and looked at each other.

Jin Yao suddenly laughed when he saw this scene, and the phrase "A loving mother often spoils her children" flashed through his mind. The reason

why the Second Miss was so cruel, vicious and mean was that Luo Siyi and Nangong Ya were too spoiled by her.

But these had nothing to do with him. The rain was getting heavier. Jin Yao wiped his face, retracted his gaze, and quickly returned to his room.

In the ancestral hall, Nangong Muyan looked at Ying Gu who came in, and looked her up and down calmly, matching the person with the "Ying Gu" that Jiang Ning told her.

"Second Miss, the madam asked me to come."

Ying Gu walked to the side of Nangong Muyan who was kneeling on the futon and stood still, speaking softly, with complex emotions in her eyes.

Nangong Muyan stopped writing, raised her face and looked at her with a faint smile on her face: "Is my mother okay?"

Yinggu sighed, squatted beside Nangong Muyan, opened the box in her hand, and brought out a small cup with fragrant chicken soup and rice in it.

Nangong Muyan didn't feel that hungry at first, but now she smelled the fragrance and suddenly felt crazy hungry.

Yinggu put the paper and pen on the incense table aside, then put the small cup in front of Nangong Muyan, and took out a spoon and stuffed it into her hand.

"Second Miss, eat it. This is what Madam asked me to make. Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."

Nangong Muyan nodded "hmmmm", picked up the spoon and ate.

Ying Gu pulled a cushion over and sat next to Nangong Muyan. Seeing her burying her head and eating with big mouthfuls, she knew she was starving and couldn't help sighing again.

"Madam was so angry that she fell ill. The doctor prescribed some tranquilizers and she is now lying in bed to rest."

Nangong Muyan paused in her chewing and listened to Ying Gu's continued chattering: "I don't know what you did wrong, Second Miss, but the master has always loved you the most. He punished you like this, and even Madam didn't speak for you. You must have gone too far this time..."

"Indeed, I deserve it." Nangong Muyan said, and continued to eat.

Since she became Nangong Muyan, she should enjoy the benefits of this identity and bear her previous sins.

It's a fair deal.

"Alas~ Although the lady won't plead for you, she still cares about you. The master ordered you to be hungry for two days, and the lady couldn't bear it, so she asked me to bring you food."

Nangong Muyan finished the last bite, wiped her mouth, and replied with a smile: "Say thank you to mother for me."

"Why do you have to say such polite words between you, mother and daughter?" Yinggu replied while cleaning the table: "The lady only hopes that you will truly realize your mistakes, make good changes, and don't do wrong things again."

"Yes, okay."

Nangong Muyan responded obediently.

At this time, Yinggu took out a small jar the size of a palm from the basket, opened the lid, and inside was a grass-green paste that smelled of medicine.

"Second Miss, come and take off your clothes. I'll apply medicine on you." Ying Gu looked at Nangong Muyan and said.

"This...is not necessary." Nangong Muyan hesitated. It was just a small wound, and she still needed medicine.

Ying Gu thought Nangong Muyan was embarrassed, so she put the jar aside and started to undress her.

Nangong Muyan: "!"

Are you so familiar with me?

"I'll do it myself!"

They are all women, so it's okay to watch.

Nangong Muyan obediently took off all her clothes except for a bellyband, and then she lay on the table, revealing the red marks on her back, waist, and arms, which made Yinggu feel distressed.

"Your Excellency was too harsh. The skin is broken, really..."

Yinggu blew gently on the wound, then scooped up the ointment and gently applied it.

The wound was originally burning, but after applying the ointment, it immediately felt cool and comfortable.

Nangong Muyan moved her body to make herself more comfortable, turned her head and looked at Yinggu, who looked like she was about to cry, and found it difficult to understand.

Is this the so-called "the pain is in my heart when you are hit"?

Ying Gu was still reminding her kindly: "Second Miss, if your wound itches, you must not scratch it. It will be bad if it leaves scars. You have to get married in a few months."

"Get married? Marry Prince Rui?"

Nangong Muyan's body suddenly froze. She seemed to have forgotten about this.

"Yes, the emperor arranged a marriage for you last year. When you turn eighteen, he can issue an imperial decree. Then you will be the princess. You can't act nonsense like you do now..."

"It's fine."

Nangong Muyan replied with a smile, answering a question that was not asked, and her expression was thoughtful.

Ying Gu applied medicine on all the wounds, watched Nangong Muyan get up and put on her clothes, and handed her another bundle.

"It's cold at night. This is the cloak that Madam asked me to bring you. Wrap it in it as a quilt and don't get cold."

"Okay."

The door opened and closed, and Yinggu left with the wooden box.

Nangong Muyan held the thick cloth in her hand, and after a long while, she chuckled: "What a dear mother! I'm so lucky..."
