Chapter 784: Traveling, Night King Investigates the Japanese
"Yeah. I'll go to Xuewo County if I have the chance." Ye Xiaohan replied.
Yun Mujiu thought about it and tried to say, "Your Majesty, why don't we not go there for now? We have already sent someone to investigate. Let's wait for their reply first."
"Whether they have found the whole story, or only found some clues, or found nothing at all, we can go together again when we have the chance in the future, just to relax."
Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan, walked around the desk and ran to Ye Xiaohan.
He shook Ye Xiaohan's arms with both hands, and added in an emotional and logical way: "Besides, the prince went out this time to investigate the people of the Eastern Empire. It took a lot of effort to go back and forth. It would be too troublesome to go to Xuewo County again. And I also want to see the prince who has returned as soon as possible."
Seeing Yun Mujiu's determined look, Ye Xiaohan said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Mumu. When I'm done, I'll come back immediately and won't go anywhere else."
"But in addition to checking on the Japanese, I may also pass by a few of the prefectures and counties that I have established. I need to simply inspect the work of my officials, especially the implementation of emergency measures to deal with the drought."
"It's okay, as long as the prince doesn't go to Xuewo County. I will wait for the prince to come back." Yun Mujiu breathed a sigh of relief. The man in black robe was extremely mysterious, and the power behind him might be weird and terrifying. Firstly, she didn't want Ye Xiaohan to make an extra trip, and secondly, she didn't want Ye Xiaohan to encounter new dangers.
"When will the prince leave?"
"This afternoon or tonight, Wei Song is leading a group of personal guards and Hanying Guards to prepare. Mu Mu can handle some matters before I leave."
Yun Mujiu understood what Ye Xiaohan meant. The reason why Ye Xiaohan didn't leave immediately was probably because he was considering her. While Ye Xiaohan was still here, she could do something that would be beneficial to her.
What else could it be?
Of course, she went directly to the palace to see the Queen Mother for a follow-up consultation. With Ye Xiaohan in the Ye Palace to suppress her, she would not encounter any problems if she went to the palace for a follow-up consultation. If the Emperor and the Queen wanted to embarrass her, she not only had the token of the previous Emperor given by Ye Xiaohan, but Ye Xiaohan could also come to the palace to pick her up at any time, so she would feel very safe.
"Yes. It just so happens that I also have to see the Queen Mother again in the next few days, so I will prepare to leave for the palace now. Madam Kong in the palace has also sent a message, saying that she asked me when I would be free, and that the Queen Mother wanted to see me again."
Yun Mujiu released his arm around Ye Xiaohan and warned him, "Remember, come back when you're done with everything, don't stay outside too long."
Ye Xiaohan tapped Yun Mujiu's forehead with his finger, "Yeah."
...
Yun Mujiu returned to Qichiyuan and packed up his medicine box briefly. Thinking that he would go to see the empress dowager for a follow-up visit, he might as well stop by Meng Mansion to check on his grandfather's pulse.
Yun Mujiu went to the warehouse and picked out a few goodies for her grandfather, and also picked up a bundle of health-preserving flower tea bags that she had mixed.
Afterwards, she sent someone to deliver a message to the Queen Mother, and she would go over to see her for a follow-up visit later.
At the Meng Mansion, Meng Ninglang was at home on a day off today, and was thinking about whether he should go to the Herb Hall to see if he could help Yun Mujiu. Or he could go to General Bai's Mansion. His grandfather had a friendship with General Bai, and sometimes asked him to visit Bai's Mansion when he was free.
He recently took up a new position as a fourth-rank military officer and often worked in the court's military institutions, so he had no time to go to the Bai Mansion for the time being. Besides, he had seen Bai Yanshuang frequently recently, which could be regarded as indirectly strengthening his connection with the Bai Mansion.
There are not many people in the Bai Mansion, the masters are only General Bai and Bai Yanshuang. General Bai married a wife in his early years, but he never remarried after his wife passed away, and he raised Bai Yanshuang alone.
He greeted Bai Yanshuang and asked Bai Yanshuang to greet General Bai on his behalf. In this way, he did not lose the etiquette that a younger generation should have.
Meng Ninglang was practicing martial arts in the courtyard when he heard a servant's joyful report: "Master, Princess Ye is coming."
Meng Ninglang immediately laughed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that she was coming so that I could prepare food in advance?"
"What meal are you preparing? Meng Ninglang, do you think I'm a pig? I want to eat as soon as I get here." A slightly dissatisfied voice came from a distance.
Meng Ninglang looked back and saw a woman in plain clothes walking towards him, looking at him angrily.
He bowed his head and said politely, "Greetings, Princess Ye."
"We are at home, why be polite, just call me by my name." Yun Mujiu waved her hand and smiled, "Or call me 'sister'. I am your elder anyway, 'cousin' is almost the same as 'sister'."
Meng Ninglang paused and shouted honestly: "Yun Mujiu, you are here."
Yun Mujiu looked younger than him, and when she was dressed simply, she looked like a young girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage. He could not call her "sister", although emotionally, Yun Mujiu was as kind as his biological sister. The eyebrows and eyes of this pair of cousins both inherited some of the shadows of their grandfather and grandmother.
"Yes. I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother for a follow-up visit later, and come to see my grandfather on the way."
Meng Ninglang put down his sword and led Yun Mujiu to Duke Meng's courtyard.
On the way, Yun Mujiu told Meng Ninglang some things about Doctor Wu and his daughter, and also mentioned some news about the Eastern Empire.
At that time, Duke Meng was lying on a rosewood couch, looking deep in thought, his gray eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
He had a dream last night. He dreamed about his youth, his wife He Qiu, and the Queen Mother Xuan Nianci.
This dream was half true and half false compared to reality, but the scene when his wife told her the Queen Mother's name was real.
But he didn't understand why his wife called out the Queen Mother's name to him before she died?
...
Yun Mujiu did not hide too much information from Meng Ninglang. Meng Ninglang was Yun Mujiu's family member. Recently, some things that Yun Mujiu and the Meng family had done together were already the performance of a family, and they were family members standing on the same faction.
Even though Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan did not want the Meng Mansion to be dragged into the vortex of court politics related to the Ye Palace, Duke Meng and the people of the Meng Mansion still stood behind them without hesitation.
For Yun Mujiu, Duke Meng moved the Meng Mansion from a neutral faction to the faction that supports the Night King, even at the cost of becoming an enemy of the Emperor's faction.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the emperor will focus his hostile attention on the Meng Mansion, and then she must protect the Meng Mansion. She experienced the warmth of family that she had never experienced in her previous life in the Meng Mansion.
Not just for the Meng family, but also for herself. The Meng Mansion was also her home. She would definitely protect the Meng Mansion!
