"If I remember correctly, the girl said that as long as I follow the girl wholeheartedly, she will keep my family safe?" Huan Heng looked at Yao Mowan solemnly and spoke seriously.
"Jingxin did say that I wonder what kind of trouble Old General Huan has encountered?" Yao Mowan secretly thought, now that the court is calm and there is no external war, Huan Heng should not be in much danger.
"It's not me, it's my daughter! Recently, Cai'er secretly sent me a message, saying that the emperor wants to send Cai'er and Prince Su to leave the capital together as an envoy to Loulan! The girl is not an ordinary person, and she should be able to guess the emperor's intention in doing this!" Huan Heng
His face was tangled and he spoke anxiously.
"Your Majesty wants Concubine Chen to leave the capital together with Prince Su?" Yao Mowan frowned and was secretly frightened. It seemed that her guess was right. Ye Hongyi was ready to take action.
"If it is not a matter of life, I would not dare to disturb the girl easily!" Huan Heng begged and looked at Yao Mowan.
"What General Huan means is that the emperor wants to use Concubine Chen's life to eradicate Prince Su. He is going to Loulan. If Concubine Chen fails to come back, it means that Ye Junqing did not protect him well. There is nothing wrong with him being punished by death, right?
"Yao Mowan didn't expect that Ye Hongyi would hide the news so deeply. She hadn't heard anything about it before.
"Other than this possibility, I really can't think of a better reason. In these troubled times, three of the four noble concubines are dead or alive. Now it's my daughter's turn!" Huan Heng looked at him with an expression.
Worry, sigh with sadness.
"This matter is easy to handle. As long as Concubine Chen pretends to be sick, she can avoid this disaster." Yao Mowan rolled her eyes and realized her plan.
"It's easier said than done, the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are not just freeloaders! If discovered by the emperor, Cai'er will inevitably be found guilty of deceiving the emperor, and she will die by then!" Huan Heng disagreed.
"Isn't the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital just a free earner? Don't worry, old general, leave this matter to Jingxin. Jingxin will ensure that your precious daughter stays in the palace safely." Yao Mowan's lips curled up slightly,
Since she understood Ye Hongyi's intentions, she had her own solution.
"Is this girl serious?" Huan Heng looked at Yao Mowan suspiciously, still uneasy.
"If you say it quietly, you will definitely be able to do it." The sonorous and firm voice gradually calmed down Huan Heng's anxious heart.
Returning to Guanyong Palace, Yao Mowan knew that the matter could not be delayed, so she asked Yin Xue to visit Du Yuexuan secretly.
At breakfast the next day, Yao Mowan looked at Ye Junqing sitting next to her and spoke leisurely.
"I heard that the prince is going to Loulan as an envoy?" Yao Mowan picked up the vegetables nonchalantly and took her eyes back from Ye Junqing.
"How did you know?" Ye Junqing looked at Yao Mowan in astonishment, extremely shocked.
"That's true. It's hard for Mowan to regard the prince as a friend. He knows everything and talks about everything. But where does the prince place Mo Wan in his heart?" Yao Mowan sighed softly, the light in his eyes dimmed.
, then he picked up his rice chopsticks, his expression extremely disappointed.
"Ahem... It seems that you didn't tell me everything you knew. You said everything..." Ye Junqing felt guilty and retorted in a low voice. Without any words, Yao Mowan stood up and wanted to leave.
, but was persuaded to come back by Ye Junqing's kind words.
"I intend to tell you, but the Emperor said that this trip is very secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better." After knowing that Yao Mowan entered the palace to avenge Mo Xin, Ye Junqing's attitude towards Yao Mowan gradually changed.
From being forced to compromise to actively showing kindness.
"Why?" Yao Mowan narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Junqing suspiciously.
"This..." Ye Junqing hesitated.
"Forget it if you don't tell me!" Yao Mowan suddenly became angry and wanted to leave again.
"I wonder if you have heard of Mount Vick?" Ye Junqing deliberately lowered his voice and asked curiously.
"Weike Mountain...that's the boundary of Loushan Kingdom. Why did you suddenly mention it?" Yao Mowan slowly sat back down, frowned, and looked at Ye Junqing in confusion.
"According to the report from the emperor's secret envoy, there is a large amount of iron Kuang in Mount Wei, which is too huge to be estimated. Moreover, this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and is adjacent to the borders of Shu, Yue, and Qi. It is reported that Chu Mobei and Feng Yihan have already
They set off separately and rushed to Loulan. Presumably they also got the news, so they wanted to discuss the matter with the King of Loulan. The emperor wants me to go to Loulan as an envoy and must negotiate for the mining rights of Tiekuang at the junction of Weishan Mountain and Dachu."
Ye Junqing spoke solemnly, his expression solemn.
"Iron mine..." Yao Mowan's clear eyes sparkled, and her lips subconsciously traced a greedy arc. Mount Vick was millions of times larger than Linxi. If there really was an iron mine, wouldn't it be?
Sent!
"One bite won't make you fat. Don't even think about it. King Loulan is famous for his shrewdness. He is not as generous as Feng Yihan." Ye Junqing reminded Yao Mowan.
"Mowan just likes smart people!" Yao Mowan's lips curled up into a smile, her eyebrows arched.
"It's no use if you like it. The Emperor has no intention of letting you go with me this time. If you rely on Ben Lei, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see King Loulan." Ye Jun said calmly, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.
"Your Majesty wants Huan Cai'er to go with the prince?" Yao Mowan raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Junqing with interest.
"Is there anything in this world that you don't know?" Ye Junqing looked at Yao Mowan in surprise.
"Don't worry, Huan Cai'er has contracted an infectious disease, and now I'm afraid it will be difficult even to leave Du Yuexuan." Yao Mowan looked at Ye Junqing confidently, her eyes filled with brilliance.
"No way? I met Concubine Chen in the Royal Garden yesterday. Although she looked a little tired, she had no symptoms of illness?" Ye Junqing looked at Yao Mowan.
"That's because Mo Wan only got the news last night." Yao Mowan said the reason without hesitation. Speechless, Ye Junqing's lips twitched, and three black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead. There is no doubt that Yao Mowan must be involved in this matter.
Wan did it. But thinking about Yao Mowan accompanying him on this trip, Ye Junqing felt a vague sense of joy in his heart, which even he himself was not aware of.
In the imperial study room, Ye Hongyi frowned and looked at An Bingshan angrily.
"Concubine Chen contracted an infectious disease? So suddenly? Have you seen the imperial doctor?" Ye Hongyi asked coldly with piercing eyes.
"Back to the emperor, Dr. Li, who was sent to treat Concubine Chen, was infected by Concubine Chen less than an hour after entering. He was covered in fine red bumps. Looking at Shen Ren, he also had symptoms of fever.
Now the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are helpless!" An Bingshan reported truthfully.
"Sooner or later, but at this time! What should we do now?" Ye Hongyi sat on the dragon chair dejectedly and sighed heavily.
"In my opinion, it's better to let Concubine Yao accompany you, and then..." An Bingshan suggested.
"Bold! Don't you know the reason why I sent Huan Cai'er to accompany you? How dare you let my Wan'er accompany you? It's really unreasonable!" Ye Hongyi was furious and roared fiercely.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant. I feel that since the situation has changed, I will simply make a mistake. If Concubine Yao can negotiate the iron ore mining rights with Loulan Kingdom this time, it will be a great achievement. Your Majesty."
If you want to make Concubine Yao your queen, the former ministers have nothing to say." An Bingshan was frightened and immediately argued.
"How is this possible? Wan'er...even if this matter is negotiated, no one will take credit for this achievement." Even if Ye Hongyi had plans to make Yao Mowan his queen, but
He knew very well that the ministers in the court would never tolerate a fool becoming the mother of Chu.
