Chapter 608 Broken Coral
When Yan Mu brought Hong Coral back, Liu Yunxiang was reading the letter from the house, including the letter from Mr. Pei.
In his letter, he said that at the beginning of the next spring, he would pass through the Western Yue, through a large grassland, and to the countries further west, and he would build a trade corridor, along with the East and West Continents.
This idea is very risky because they know very little about those countries, and there are many rumors that the people there are still uncivilized, very fierce, and even eat human flesh.
No one walked through that grassland, as if it was the road to hell.
But Pei Rong was knowledgeable and dared to go to the west to do business. Although the risk factor was very large, he was somewhat sure. In fact, he succeeded. He really built a trade corridor. Since then, trade between the east, west, south and north is smooth, and he has quickly accumulated wealth and become the richest person in the mainland.
It's always right to follow the giant.
In the letter, Pei Rong asked her for ten thousand pieces of silk made in Jiangnan. She immediately replied and said that the two of them could do the business together. He took risks in front and she raised resources for him in the back to avoid his worries.
Pei Rong was passionate at this time, but in fact he had concerns. With her financial and material support and sharing risks, he would definitely agree.
Besides, they have been working happily.
Liu Yunxiang wrote the letter and handed it to the housekeeper and asked him to deliver it to Zhang Qi. "It's winter, Beijin is cold early, and it's probably snowing down the road. The caravan needs to wait for the spring next year to go north. You ask Zhang Qi to send someone to deliver this letter to Beijin and to the hands of Xiaohou Pei."
When the housekeeper was about to leave, Liu Yunxiang called him again: "You ask Zhang Qi to arrange a trip to the mansion later."
"yes."
After finishing all this, Jinyan sent a cup of tea.
"Miss, your highness is here."
Liu Yunxiang listened to the two children chattering outside, Lian Sheng kept shouting "Dad". It was thought that he was playing with his two children.
"Your Highness also brought you a large red coral, which looks so rare." Jinyan smiled.
"Red Coral?"
"It was said that it was rewarded by the palace."
Liu Yunxiang turned her mind and probably guessed why the emperor was admiring this thing. She stretched out her waist, then got off the Arhat's bed and walked out of the house.
The red coral was placed on the stone table in the yard, and the two children were playing around the red coral, not curiously touching it.
Yan Mu leaned against the crabapple tree next to him. The leaves of the crabapple were yellow, and they fell on his head and shoulders, and crossed his handsome and flawless side face.
It was afternoon and the sun was warm. He looked at the children, his eyes that were always cold and smiled, but when he glanced at her, the smile immediately stopped and even turned his head away.
Liu Yunxiang thought about it later. Maybe she had said that day and they had a bond in their hearts and should have a good talk, but when she tried to communicate, he didn't give her a chance.
Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, walked towards Yan Mu, and said with a smile: "This red coral is so beautiful."
Yan Muleng sneered, "Don't be self-indulgent, it's not for you."
"oh?"
"Send two children to play."
Liu Yunxiang laughed, "Okay, but it was given by the emperor and it cannot be damaged..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a snap sound, and the sound of the two children playing abruptly stopped with the sound. Liu Yunxiang hurriedly looked over and saw that the red coral fell to the ground and fell into several petals.
The two children were so scared that they both rushed over and hugged one.
"Are you injured?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The two children were not injured, but just looked at the red coral on the ground and knew that they had been in trouble.
"Mom, I accidentally pushed it." Xingyi was so scared that he wanted to cry.
Yan'er also hurriedly said to Yan Mu: "I was also accidentally."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Mom knows you were careless, it doesn't matter."
Yan Mu also said: "It was originally for you to play with, but if it breaks it, it will be broken."
The two of them coaxed the two children and asked Zijin to take them to the garden to play.
Looking at the red coral on the ground, Liu Yunxiang twitched. It was indeed a pity that such a rare treasure.
"Girl, this is given by the emperor, I'm afraid..." Jinyan was a little worried.
"We won't talk, no one knows, let's put it away first."
"Then I will try to stick it well with paste."
Liu Yunxiang smiled. It must be that sticky is not good, but the emperor has already rewarded them, so he will naturally not take them back and put them in the warehouse. After a long time, no one will mention them and deal with them.
She thought so, but she didn't expect that in the evening, the Princess's Mansion would send a message to her, saying that she would bring a few ladies to see the brilliance of the red coral tomorrow.
When Liu Yunxiang saw the invitation, she couldn't help but frown.
"Girl, I tried it in the afternoon and couldn't stick to it at all. When they came to see it, they would definitely be exposed. I heard that destroying the imperial gift would anger Longyan, what should I do?"
Jinyan was so anxious that he had to make another pot of paste right now, and he had to stick it on anyway.
"No hurry." Liu Yunxiang said.
"Why are there no hurry? They will come tomorrow!"
"There is one thing that should be dealt with earlier than this."
Jinyan was stunned, "What does it mean?"
"You call the butler."
Jinyan was confused, but he still called the butler.
"The red coral is broken today, and the eldest princess and the others will come to see it tomorrow. This matter will never be a coincidence. Butler, please check now, who leaked this matter."
The butler's face turned solemn, "What the empress means is someone putting eyeliners in our mansion?"
"Um."
The butler nodded quickly, "It's only one afternoon to check who has gone out."
After saying that, the butler hurried out.
Only then did Jinyan understand what her girl meant, "Is this eyeliner installed by the eldest princess?"
Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "Not necessarily, but it depends on who will come with her tomorrow."
The eldest princess is the emperor's own sister. With the power of the general, her honor can be continued no matter who succeeds to the throne, so she does not need to target the Zhenbei Palace, nor does she need to board anyone's ship.
So this eyeliner was probably not arranged by her.
"What should I do tomorrow?"
"You ask Zijin to go to Zhang Qi's place and ask him to find a red coral from the jewelry store. They have never seen that red coral and can't tell the truth or the fake."
"That's all."
Fortunately, the jewelry store is very big and there are all kinds of treasures inside. It is not difficult to find a red coral of good quality.
About an hour later, the housekeeper came back, "Princess, I've caught a spy, a slap in the outer courtyard."
"Who is he instructed?"
"He said it was...the eldest princess."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Princess?"
"He was from the eldest princess's mansion and found him and asked him to monitor every move in our mansion, and exchange for one hundred taels of silver for one message."
Liu Yunxiang exhaled, which was far beyond her expectations.
But the eldest princess really has no need. Do she have any deep hatred with Yan Mu?
"Girl, since the eldest princess already knows that the coral is broken, she will definitely keep an eye on this matter tomorrow."
