Li Lin agreed to let Tan Min stay in the palace. To be honest, this person must be kept under his nose to make people feel at ease. Although he took sides, he did not want to put his mother in danger.
In a blink of an eye, Song Qin's injuries had mostly healed, and at least he didn't need help from anyone to stand up and walk.
Most of the effects of the medicine in his body had dissipated. Apart from being unable to use his internal energy to fight, he could lead a normal life without any problems.
After being out for so long, it’s time to go home.
When Concubine Rou heard that they were leaving, she was very reluctant to let them go. She asked her servants to run around the entire Yizhou City a day in advance to buy food that could be taken away and kept for a long time. She bought no less than five boxes of each kind.
On the way back to Guizhou, there are many rugged mountain roads to walk on. Having these foods to fill your stomach can help you suffer less.
Two carriages were filled with various cloths and fine materials, as well as medicinal herbs. Anyway, she and her son had no use for these things. Thinking that Song Qin was still weak, she asked them to take them all back to Guizhou.
Song Wan was stunned when she saw the dozens of carriages lined up in front of the palace gate. There weren't so many when she came here.
Yizhou is the only city she has not moved from yet, but now, someone has offered it to her.
Concubine Rou held Song Wan's hand, eyes full of reluctance. "If you have the chance in the future, please come to Yizhou more often. I've already written to Uncle Lin'er to tell him that you won't be questioned when you pass through Jinzhou in the future."
Song Wan liked Concubine Rou very much. If possible, she would be willing to accept Concubine Rou as a team member. So after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "You can also come to Qiandi to play with me. The bearded man is one of us, and he won't question your identities."
When Concubine Rou heard her childish words, she burst into laughter. She covered her face and said, "Okay, I will definitely go when the time comes."
To be honest, there have been so many new people coming to the mansion these days, and everyone eats three meals a day together. Just the appetite alone is much better than before.
Who made the little girl eat so happily? Concubine Rou thought that anyone who saw her would unconsciously eat half a bowl of rice more.
Such days were much more lively than when she was in the harem or when she first came to Yizhou and depended on her son.
At this moment, Concubine Rou was really worried that she would not be able to get used to it once they left.
The huge palace was home to only her and her son. They didn't think it was a big deal before they arrived, but when they saw the luggage being carried out piece by piece, Concubine Rou felt that the palace seemed too empty. It was not like the Song and Gu families in Guizhou where they lived next to each other and it was hard to imagine it not being lively every day.
Song Wan: "Then it's settled. Madam Dowager, whenever you want to come, just write me a letter and I'll send someone to pick you up on the road."
Song Wan cares a lot about the personal safety of her team members. As long as they are team members she recognizes, she will not allow anyone to harm them.
Originally, it would be closer to go through Jinzhou from Yizhou to Qiandi, but one team member refused to do so and insisted on taking a detour through Zezhou.
The troublemaker was Yun Zhuo. He boarded Song Wan and the others' carriage and said nonchalantly, "If you don't go back with me, my eldest brother will definitely think I made this up to avoid punishment."
Song Wan: "But my second brother is anxious to go home to see his wife and children. How about we go to your house next time?"
Yun Zhuo didn't want to delay Song Qin's family reunion, so he thought about it and decided to take a step back. "Then when is the next time?"
Song Wan estimated the time and replied, "After I deal with that scumbag Prince Yu?"
Song Wan thought about it and decided to go to Yuzhou after bringing his second brother back and resting for a few days, and then visit Tahuiguan Pass.
According to Gu Yan's urgent analysis, King Yu was very likely suspected of colluding with foreign enemies many years ago. If he could find definite evidence, he would secretly tie up the person and the evidence and send them to the current emperor, letting them fight each other.
When Yun Zhuo heard this, he felt that it would take a long time to resolve the issue of King Yu. For the first time, he hoped that King Yu could solve the problem himself and stop causing trouble for others.
"Won't that take a long time?" Yun Zhuo frowned.
"It does take some time." Because Song Wan's purpose this time was to rob and empty Prince Yu's mansion.
Yun Zhuo was completely confused. Did that mean he had to go back to Zezhou alone?
Song Wan saw him struggling, and after a moment's thought, she said, "If you're bored being alone, you can come with us to Guizhou."
Yun Zhuo had a sad face. "But my eldest brother gave me a deadline to go home by the end of the month. If I don't, Ada will automatically take me back."
This is not the first time this has happened to Yun Zhuo. He has been going through the same thing for the past two years.
Song Wan: "That's easy. I can just ask Song Qi to help you tie up Ada first, right?"
Yun Zhuo's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "This method works! It's better to tie it tightly. Just use the pig rope you used to tie up Tan Min!"
Song Qin looked at Yun Zhuo, who was not much older than his sister, with helplessness in his eyes. He was really afraid that Yun Zhuo's elder brother would misunderstand that they were leading his younger brother astray.
Ada, who was riding in a carriage with Yuanbao, would never have thought that he would be tied up for the rest of the journey. He could not have imagined that the reason was simply that Yun Zhuo did not want to go home yet.
There were no setbacks along the way. I was out for more than three months, visited several state capitals, and finally returned to Guizhou.
In September in Guizhou, the weather has begun to gradually turn cooler.
Because Song Qi and Gu Wu were riding horses, they arrived in the city two quarters of an hour faster than Song Wan and his group who were riding in a carriage.
Song Wan also wanted to ride a horse, as she felt bored and stuffy after staying in the carriage for a long time.
But in order to make Song Qin look less weak and more energetic, she could only stay in the carriage and use her mental power to help him regulate his condition every once in a while.
It’s impossible that by the time he, as the father, hasn’t eaten yet, his daughter looks healthy.
When Song Qi and Gu Wu entered the city, they happened to see Jiang Zhen scolding someone.
Compared with previous years, the people in Guizhou today look and feel much better, and all this is attributed to the bumper potato harvest this summer.
As long as they wait another year, ordinary people will be able to grow potatoes that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu. Even if several families share one mu of land, the potatoes will be good.
Once people have hope and expectations, they will become more and more energetic.
It had been a long time since Song Wan and Gu Yan urged them to leave, so long that Jiang Zhen sometimes began to wonder if they had any intention of coming back.
So when he saw Song Qi and Gu Wu riding horses into the city, he didn't even bother to scold them and just waved them away.
Jiang Zhen himself ran down the tower in a very unsteady manner. Now that the soldiers on duty on the tower were replaced by his own people, he no longer had to worry about his behavior. He shouted directly at the two of them, "Why are there only two of you? Where are Miss Song and the others?"
Song Qi and Gu Wu heard the sound and looked for someone, then quickly dismounted and walked towards Jiang Zhen.
"The eldest lady is in the carriage at the back. Also in the carriage is the second young master of the Yun family in Zezhou. My second young master is still alive! He is also in the carriage at the back!" When saying the last sentence, Song Qi's tone was so excited that it was hard to tell.
The most surprising thing about this trip was that the second young master was found.
Jiang Zhen never expected that Song Qin was still alive. This was really good news. If the late emperor and Marquis Weiyuan knew about this, they would probably be more relieved.
So he asked, "Where did you meet Song Qin?"
"It's a long story. I wasn't there at the time. Wait until the young lady comes back and let her tell you in detail." Song Qi's eyes were full of joy. "Anyway, this trip has yielded a lot."
Gu Wu nodded in agreement, imitating Song Qi's way of keeping people on edge, "You'll know when the time comes."
Jiang Zhen: "..."
He acted as if no one had gained anything. He really wanted to tell the two of them that when you were not around, I also cheated... um, no, I should say I made a lot of money.
There were five large boxes of gold alone, and another ten boxes of silver, all of which were used by Xu Lie to bribe him. As for the other boxes of jewelry, he asked his wife to pick out the beautiful and expensive ones, and asked his people to take the rest away. The marked gold and silver jewelry were melted down and sold, and the jade and jadeite were sold directly.
After taking out the jewelry that had been sold and deducting the money spent on the road and the money spent on bribes to various people, there was still a total of 5,668 taels of silver left.
Influenced by Song Wan, Jiang Zhen's family gradually disliked using silver notes. A box of scrap paper was not as comfortable as a box of gold and silver.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Wan and his entourage of more than ten carriages finally arrived.
Jiang Zhen had just finished showing off in front of Song Qi and Gu Wu how much money he had cheated out of Xu Lie, and was feeling proud of it, when he saw that there were many more carriages behind the one headed by Song Wan.
Judging from the visual evidence, there are at least ten of them, all of which are horse-drawn carriages. It is obvious that they are loaded with a lot of gold.
Looking at what he had worked so hard to cheat, it was nothing compared to what he had earned.
Song Wan couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. Finally, she didn't have to ride in the carriage anymore.
After seeing Jiang Zhen was there, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "Big Beard, you didn't come here just to greet us, did you?"
Jiang Zhen twitched his lips, retracted his gaze from the carriage behind her, and couldn't help asking, "Whose house are you patronizing again?"
Song Wan glanced back, then replied slowly, "I didn't patronize anyone's house this time. These were all given to me by the Concubine Dowager."
Jiang Zhen: "Which concubine?"
Song Wan: "That's Prince Yi's mother."
Jiang Zhen was stunned and asked, "You went to Yizhou? And you went to Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Song Wan admitted, "Yes, I also promised Li Lin that Yizhou would also plant potatoes, so when the time comes you will have to set aside 3,000 kilograms of potato seeds, and they will buy them with silver."
Lord Yu was afraid that Song Wan would forget about the potatoes after leaving Yizhou, so before Song Wan left, he gave her countless instructions and was very long-winded.
Song Wan felt that if he was not allowed to grow potatoes, he would probably go crazy.
The amount of information was too much for Jiang Zhen to digest. "Wait, isn't 3,000 kilograms too much? We can't even grow enough for ourselves."
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that Jinzhou and Zezhou also planted it. Three thousand kilograms, divided equally among the three prefectures." Song Wan said again.
After hearing this, Jiang Zhen fell silent.
So she went out with a small entourage and took over three state capitals in just three months?
Even marching and fighting a war may not be that fast.

Good night~See you during the day~
