"It was Yunhui who found an important clue at the Yun family and promptly sent someone to Da Yu to deliver the clue."
While teasing Jiang Yao, Jiang Yu said to Yun Mo, "I was thinking that Yun Hui is also concerned about you in Dayu. If you have time, it would be good to write a letter to Yun Hui."
"Aunt, who is Yunhui?"
Jiang Yao was somewhat confused when she heard this, and then slowly asked.
“Yunhui is your master’s older sister. She lives alone in another place, so she misses your master very much.”
"Master, then write her a letter quickly."
Jiang Yao rushed to Yun Mo in a hurry. Her father had been away from the capital on business recently, and her mother had been very worried about him. She only smiled after receiving his letter.
Therefore, in Jiang Yao's little mind, writing letters is a very important thing.
"Princess..."
Yunmo was still somewhat hesitant, because he had previously held the identity of the young master. If he wrote a letter to Luoming, some people with ulterior motives might have inappropriate thoughts, which would cause trouble for his second sister.
"Master, hurry up and write it. Your sister is very worried about you."
Jiang Yao reached out and pushed Yun Mo towards the study, and only returned to Jiang Yu's side after seeing Yun Mo walk into the study. "Aunt, have you been feeling better lately?"
Jiang Yu gave Jiang Yao a big kiss on her little face. "Everything is fine, I just miss our Yao Yao."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao smiled, revealing her small teeth, and snuggled into Jiang Yu's arms, unwilling to leave.
"Yaoyao, didn't I tell you that your aunt is pregnant and that you shouldn't bump into the baby?"
When Bai Qian's voice rang out, Jiang Yao immediately turned her head away, giving Bai Qian a cold, indifferent look.
"Pfft—" Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this.
"This little rascal is usually alright, but as long as Your Majesty and the Emperor are around, he becomes completely unruly." As soon as Bai Qian heard that Jiang Yu had come to the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, she immediately rushed back from the military camp.
"It's good for girls to be a little willful; it makes them less likely to be bullied."
Jiang Yu patted Jiang Yao's back affectionately, "Our Yao Yao has a bright future ahead of her, and we are going to live a happy life together."
"This child is only taking advantage of the Empress's favor towards her."
Bai Qian sat beside Jiang Yu and talked for a while until Yun Mo returned with a letter. He handed the letter to Jiang Yu with both hands, saying, "Please trouble the Empress Dowager to deliver this letter to the head of the Yun family."
"I will definitely deliver it."
Jiang Yu weighed the letter, which was almost weightless; this was her return gift to Yun Hui.
Is Auntie leaving?
“Yes, if Yaoyao misses her aunt, she can go to the palace to see her.” Jiang Yu said as she untied the jade pendant from her waist. “As long as she has this jade pendant, Yaoyao can go to the palace whenever she wants, and no one can stop her.”
Jiang Yao reached out her small hand, gripped the jade pendant tightly, and nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty, this jade pendant is very valuable..." Bai Qian's eyes narrowed; this jade pendant was something Her Majesty always wore close to her body...
"It's alright, you can keep it with Yaoyao from now on."
She wanted the world to know that this was the little girl she, Jiang Yu, cherished dearly.
......
When news of the situation in Da Yu reached the aristocratic families, both the Qin and Gong families gritted their teeth in anger.
“Father, we wasted so many nails this time because of the Sun family. If we don’t demand an explanation from the Sun family, wouldn’t we be suffering a loss for nothing?”
Qin Zheng spoke up defiantly, but shut his mouth at the signal of the Qin family head.
"The Sun family wrote to us before they made their move, saying that all families are one and share weal and woe. If we make a move now, wouldn't we become a laughing stock?"
The Qin family patriarch's face was dark. He had also received a message from Jiang He that if problems arose within the aristocratic families at this critical juncture, it would truly give the Great Yu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Father, are we just going to do nothing?"
Qin Zheng angrily flicked his sleeves, "In all my years, I, Qin Zheng, have only ever felt so frustrated when facing Da Yu."
"You think you're the only one feeling aggrieved? Aren't I feeling aggrieved? Aren't the Sun family and the Gong family feeling aggrieved?"
The Qin family patriarch said irritably, "What's the use of shouting? We'd be better off thinking of a solution."
The same situation played out in the Gong family.
Old Madam Gong remained silent, and those sitting below dared not utter a sound.
"I remember that the Empress Dowager of Dayu had a son named Gu Qingfeng?"
“Grandmother, Gu Qingfeng is not the biological son of the Empress Dowager of Dayu. So, there is a feud between them.” Gong Liusheng followed up, “I heard that Gu Qingfeng has been imprisoned in Qingcheng for four or five years.”
"Is Grandmother planning to target Gu Qingfeng?"
Gong Liuming's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, "But the place must be heavily guarded, I'm afraid we shouldn't make a move."
There are always more solutions than problems.
Old Madam Gong slowly spoke, "Go and discuss this matter with the Qin family and the Sun family, as well as Jiang He. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid he might really discover something."
"Grandmother, I'll go right away."
"Let Sheng'er go." Old Madam Gong tapped the ground with her cane. "Ming'er, how are you and your wife now?"
Gong Liuming's eyes flickered when he heard Madam Gong mention Yun Wei.
"Grandmother, don't worry, Wei'er is doing well. She is taking her medicine regularly every day to regulate her body."
Upon hearing this, Madam Gong nodded. "You should get pregnant as soon as possible. That's the most important thing you should be doing right now."
child......
Gong Liuming's hand clenched slightly into a fist under his sleeve, but Yun Wei was now unable to give birth.
......
The aristocratic families quickly focused their attention on Jiang He, who was staring at the hollowed-out iron ore mine with a sharp gaze.
"How many places is this now?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, this is the fifth location."
Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, Jiang He's expression became even more serious. "Not only iron ore, but also rare earth elements—these things have all been looted by the powerful families."
"But my lord, with so many iron mines and rare earth resources, if we were to amass at least 200,000 troops, where would we place them?"
Can the places where powerful families reside truly support so many elite troops?
"These aristocratic families must have used the Yun family's ingenious mechanisms; there might even be underground tunnels or something." Jiang He glanced at the marked location on the map. "What mountain is this?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is Fengshan."
"Fengshan? That name sounds like a good omen. Let's go and take a look at Fengshan."
Jiang He took a detour and headed towards Fengshan on the map. However, the closer he got to Fengshan, the more unsettling the feeling in his heart became.
"How can Fengshan be so misnamed? It looks completely barren, with hardly any trees at all?"
Jiang He frowned deeply. This Fengshan? Where is Feng?
