He Jiuniang wasn't worried at all; in fact, she was quite eager to try. She really wanted to see what kind of treasure she would find after collecting everything.
These words instantly jolted Prince Chen awake, and he said, "Yes, yes, I was so confused. As long as we have this ancient jade, no matter what tricks they try, they won't be able to use it. But..."
At this point, Prince Chen hesitated somewhat.
He Jiuniang couldn't stand this kind of half-finished talking, and impatiently urged, "But what? Tell me quickly!"
The princess urged, "Yes, tell us quickly! Hehehe, the meat skewers that Jiu Niang grilled are so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious meat skewers before!"
Prince Chen glanced helplessly at the two women squatting on the ground eating skewers, and then said, "It's just that my father is the least credulous emperor in history. In recent years, he has been obsessed with cultivating immortality and has no time for such things. He doesn't even know if the Pangu Jade is still there, or if it's real or not."
Prince Chen wondered if Prince Lin had told the other party about the Pangu Jade, perhaps he had already replaced it and wanted to use it to get the people of Dongting to do things for him.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he now wanted to go to the palace to confirm it with his father.
Seeing Prince Chen's expression, He Jiuniang knew that she had exaggerated and frightened him, so she said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I'll go to the palace to ask the Emperor first thing tomorrow morning. The Emperor wants Lu Heiya's recipe and owes me a favor!"
He Jiuniang was very glad that she hadn't immediately said what she wanted this morning, because she could try it tomorrow morning.
"You want the Pangu Jade from Father Emperor?"
Prince Chen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This Madam Lu really dares to think of anything!
Didn't she understand what she just said? The Pangu Jade is the national treasure of Northern Yan!
Even if his father doesn't value it much, it's not something that can be given away so easily!
"How will you know it won't work if you don't try? Would Your Highness like some meat skewers?"
When talking about these things, He Jiuniang remained the same as always, showing no other emotions. She even had a good appetite, and in just a short while, she and the princess had already eaten a lot of skewers.
Lu Baichuan had already quietly taken a few skewers and was eating them. Now only Prince Chen hadn't eaten any. He Jiuniang kindly asked him, since the fire was burning brightly and they could roast as many as they wanted.
Prince Chen took a handful and ate some. The moment it entered his mouth, he felt that nothing else mattered. Since she wanted to try it, then let her try it. It would be good to see what his father's attitude was.
The matter was settled happily. After finishing the barbecue, He Jiuniang went home, washed up, and went to sleep. It wasn't too late, only around 11 o'clock, but she had been quite busy lately and felt a little tired.
He Jiuniang was sleepy, but Lu Baichuan looked preoccupied and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
"What's wrong? I sensed something was wrong with you back at the Prince Chen's residence. Is there anything else I don't know about?"
He Jiuniang turned over to look at him, one hand propping up her cheek, the other circling her chest with her fingers, her voice soft and seductive.
Lu Baichuan stiffened, grabbed her hand, and said, "I didn't originally intend to hide it from you, but I felt there was something fishy about this, and I hadn't figured it out at the time."
"Then tell me and I'll think about it with you."
Lu Baichuan responded and then said, "I think you might have guessed some things correctly."
"How so?"
"The national treasures of each country may be different. The night I assassinated the crown prince in Nantai, the crown prince was looking at a blueprint. It was drawn in a mess, and the writing was not the one we use now. I was going to leave after I finished dealing with the person, but seeing how much the crown prince of Nantai cherished it, I took it with me."
Lu Baichuan was speechless. Had he accidentally brought back Nantai's national treasure?
Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang instantly lost all sleepiness and asked, "Good heavens, do you still have that blueprint?"
"Yes, it's right here in this mansion."
Lu Baichuan nodded. After they returned from Nantai, they left all their things in this house. He couldn't understand the blueprints very well, so he didn't pay any attention to them. He just left them lying around after bringing them back. If his wife hadn't brought them up today, he would have forgotten about them altogether.
"I didn't pay any attention to the drawing because it wasn't a defense plan for Nantai or any other related drawing."
"That's alright, find it and show it to me tomorrow."
He Jiuniang yawned, found a comfortable position in his arms, and prepared to go to sleep.
Although she was curious about the treasure, she was just a casual observer and didn't go so far as to make Lu Baichuan go looking for blueprints in the middle of the night.
However, if they really have the blueprints for the treasure, then they will have a significant advantage over others.
"good."
Lu Baichuan smiled, blew out the candles, and went to sleep with his wife in his arms.
He was also somewhat pleased. If he really got the blueprints, it would be a great achievement. Not only would he be promoted, but he might also be able to earn an imperial title for his wife and mother.
Sisters, my symptoms came on so fast! I'm so dizzy I can barely look at my phone. I might only be able to update once a day for the next few days, or maybe I'll even stop updating altogether. My mind is a bit foggy right now, I'm having all sorts of auditory hallucinations, and my vision is starting to blur. You all need to take good care of yourselves!
