Chapter 412 Mai County
At this time, the shopkeeper came over, pinching his beard: "You two are ignorant."
"What do you know! The woman who bought medicine just now is said to be the female medical officer of the delegation."
"I heard that a big shot in the delegation was assassinated last night and was seriously injured. Now his life is in danger and he is dying."
"In order to save the life of this big shot, the delegation is naturally willing to spend money. Let alone a mere 800 taels, even if it is 8,000 taels or 80,000 taels, if it can save lives, they will buy it."
The two employees' eyes flashed with understanding, and they were all full of emotion.
A man with triangular eyes standing at the door of the drugstore asked the shopkeeper curiously: "Someone in the delegation was assassinated and injured. Does the shopkeeper know who it is?"
The shopkeeper looked at him and said lightly: "I don't know."
The delegation stayed in Shijiu Fort for another two days.
Since Yue Haoyun was assassinated, the second prince did not let him go out.
He has been staying in the room, and only Xifeng and the second prince can enter.
Two days later, the whole Shijiu Fort had spread that the Great Yue Prince Yue Haoyun was assassinated, seriously injured, and in critical condition.
Seeing that the effect had been fully achieved, the second prince and Han Qingbo led the delegation to move forward.
...
The Royal Palace of Dai Viet.
Empress Dowager Zhu Ling leaned comfortably on the rocking chair, eating grapes one by one.
Han Lie sat opposite and reported: "Your Majesty, Yue Haoyun is seriously injured now. It is speculated that he will die soon."
"Maybe he won't be able to make it back to Beijing."
Zhu Ling smiled evilly: "He has a bad life and is born lowly. He is
just a short-lived ghost." "Now, I finally got rid of a worry." When
Han Lie heard the words "short-lived ghost", his face suddenly turned ugly. After a moment of silence, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, and God will bless him."
Zhu Ling looked at Han Lie's expression, as if he suddenly thought of something, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Lord Han, I was just saying that Yue Haoyun was short-lived, and I didn't mean anything. Don't think too much."
"I know you just lost your son, and you must be in great pain."
Han Lie pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. As the Prime Minister of Dai Viet, I can hold a boat in my belly."
"My son is dead, and I am heartbroken. Whenever I come to the palace and enter the court, there is only Dai Viet, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty in my heart."
Zhu Ling was moved to tears after hearing this.
"My dear Han, you are really a loyal minister of Dai Viet. If you have anything you want, just tell me, and I will satisfy you."
...
After leaving Shijiu Fort, more than half a month passed in a flash, and the delegation had already arrived in Dai Viet.
On this day, the delegation arrived in the city of Mai County, and the group stayed in the official post.
Everyone in the post house was busy washing themselves, changing into clean clothes, and urging the post servants to cook for them.
In a short while, the small post house was extremely lively.
Yue Haoyun was still hiding in his room as before, and asked Xifeng to send some food and water before he stayed at home.
Yin Xizi adhered to the principle of doing a complete show, and simply packed up, and then took his followers to boil medicine outside Yue Haoyun's door.
Everyone had not stayed in the post house for three or four days, and had not stayed in a decent county town for many days, so they were all a little excited.
Xia Miaoyuan's room.
Nanny Li and the palace maids found clean clothes and wanted to help Xia Miaoyuan wash and change.
Xia Miaoyuan was running around the room like a little hamster.
"Little prince, be good, let us wash you." Nanny Li and the palace maids were chasing after her with towels and clothes.
"This princess doesn't need to wash at all. Look, Nanny, my hands and face are not dirty! I'm going out to play now!" Although Xia Miaoyuan's legs were short, she ran very fast.
She pushed open the door and ran into the courtyard of the inn.
"Little prince! How can you not wash? You haven't washed your face for two days!" Nanny Li ran out of the room, holding her waist, panting with exhaustion.
"Mammy, are you okay?" The little palace maid hurriedly supported Nanny.
Xia Miaoyuan turned to look at Li Ma and made a face: "I won't wash! Go play first!"
She said this, but her legs didn't stop. Suddenly, she bumped into something.
"Ouch!" Xia Miaoyuan screamed.
"You are naughty and disobedient again!" The second prince's familiar voice came from above Xia Miaoyuan.
She looked up and saw that the person she bumped into was not someone else, but her beloved second brother.
She rubbed her sore face and explained seriously: "Second brother, I'm not naughty. I just want to save time and experience the customs and practices of Mai County as soon as possible. Experience the exotic customs of Dai Viet with the highest efficiency."
The second prince picked up Xia Miaoyuan by the waist, patted her butt gently and said, "You've been studying in the Great Hall for several months, and you're so justified in avoiding washing up!"
"You have to wash up even when you go out to play! You are the Princess of Dai Xia!"
As he said that, the second prince had already walked up to Nanny Li, stuffed Xia Miaoyuan into Nanny Li's arms, and said, "Wash up obediently, and then I'll take you out to play."
Xia Miaoyuan pouted with all her strength, [Huh! Really! Children don't even have the right not to wash their faces. Nanny
Li and the young palace maid quickly dressed Xia Miaoyuan and put her in a light pink dress.
With her round face, cute double buns and a light pink dress, Xia Miaoyuan instantly turned into a beautiful little girl, as if she had walked out of a painting.
"I'm done, let's go!" Xia Miaoyuan jumped into the arms of the second prince.
The second prince took a closer look at his sister's cute little face, gently pinched her chubby cheeks and said, "This is still good!"
Then he carried her into the carriage.
The county town was not very big, and the brother and sister strolled along the bustling commercial street and bought a lot of novel gadgets.
When the two were tired of strolling, the sun had already set, and it was time for dinner.
Xia Miaoyuan's stomach rumbled, and she rubbed her stomach and said pitifully: "Second brother, I'm hungry."
The second prince looked at her lovingly: "Then let's go to dinner! It's just right to taste the delicacies of Dayue!"
Mai County was not a big county town, and there were only a few restaurants that were good.
The second prince chose the largest restaurant in the county town, hugged his sister, and walked in with a few followers.
When the waiter saw the second prince and his entourage, he immediately knew that they were either rich or noble, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile: "Sir, please come in!"
"Let's go to the best private room!" Jin Hu said.
"I'm sorry, everyone, there are really no private rooms. I will arrange the best seat for you and everyone on the first floor!"
The second prince nodded, and followed the waiter to a window seat in the first-floor hall.
The brother and sister ordered a table full of Vietnamese delicacies and feasted on them.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, someone at the table next to them said mysteriously: "Have you heard about Lord Han recently?"
