C84 (1/2)
As the group of youngsters talked about the hunt, the Old Duke of Cheng took a nap and offered to leave.
Ru Yi also took the opportunity to leave, leaving the group to eat and drink and talk about leopards.
It was good that Steward Gao came. Ru Yi returned to her room to take a bath.
After the two maidservants in the room finished bathing, they took a dry handkerchief and dried her hair. The sixteen lightly floated to the door.
After Ru Yi dismissed the little girl, she asked, ”Have you found the person?”
Sixteen answered, ”Yes, I found it. It's in the house. I didn't go out.”
Ru Yi slowly let out a breath. She stood up and walked two steps before saying to Sixteen, ”Pay more attention in the future. Don't let him …” Feeling that it was hard to say, he took a deep breath and said, ”He's only twelve this year and is still a child.”
”Your subordinate understands and will look favorably upon Young Master Xue.”
”Mm, go ahead.”
On the morning of the second day, High Scholar Gao Shang and the others came over. Ru Yi woke up even earlier than them, and after practicing a set of fist techniques with the first dark guard, she broke out in sweat and took a bath again.
Quickly, everyone's task was assigned. Kaohsiung brought the river workers to inspect the Jishui River, while Xiao Jia led the group to the southern bank of the Jishui River. This time, they didn't go hunting, but instead brought the prospectors to check if there were any minerals in the mountains, which spanned hundreds of miles.
The others also brought their own people to assist the two of them.
Ru Yi called out a group of guards to protect their safety. ”Remember, you can't take any risks. If you keep the green mountain, there will be plenty of firewood left.”
The aged official nodded his head in agreement. The princess was very old, and it was not in vain for him to come all the way here to risk his life. In the end, he added, ”All of you have brought public opinion workers to draw the picture of this place.”
Ru Yi nodded her head. ”It was lucky that the old duke was here. I had almost forgotten about this place.”
There were some things that she couldn't say to Li Gui Zhong, but she could chat with Gao Su.
”Actually, not only does he not have much ability, he is also a cousin of Jiang Muli. Jiang Muli's mother is the concubine of the third prince's mother, don't tell me the two of them don't have dirty feelings in their family?”
Gao Su nodded and continued, ”If there really isn't any, then Jiang Mubai Li won't be used as a proton for Yan Country.”
”That's right, if Third Prince Jiang were to succeed the throne, do you think he would continue to kill Jiang Muli?”
Gao Su smiled shrewdly, ”Of course I will.” Even if not, they would let him.
”Jiang Mubai Li used to care about brotherhood and brotherhood, but after getting hurt twice in the past, how could he bear it? ”To say something that is not quite true …”
”Such as?” Gao Su's eyes were shining, and he looked like he was asking for a solution.
Ru Yi didn't try to keep him guessing. ”For example, Third Prince's mother actually had a childhood sweetheart in the family. They still have to keep up with each other after entering the palace. I've met her before …”
”The third prince's background ….”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed sinisterly.
Gao Su: The princess is so cunning!
Ruyi: Old patriarch is not old, but I heard that he had the nickname of jade fox in his early years, now the fox is old.
Ru Yi didn't say anything. If the Third Prince didn't listen to her after he ascended to the throne, then it would be the Sixth Prince's turn. She believed that Jiang Mo Li would treasure this throne.
If the old King Jiang was still alive, it didn't matter if he was 90 years old or 100 years old, she wouldn't have thought of such a thing.
During the war between the Jiang Country and Yan Country that year, although the Yan Country won a great victory, thirty thousand soldiers still died in battle. Back then, Emperor Qing He carried her as he sat on the throne, looking at the names of the fallen soldiers one by one.
It wasn't even noon yet, but most of the people had already left the courtyard. Even so, it was still bustling compared to before. ”Go and ask where Lord Li is.”
She walked a few steps and suddenly thought, ”I wonder if there's a chef in the diplomatic mission. If there isn't, let's find one for us. We have to be on guard against anyone!”
Li Can was a person left behind for her by her Imperial Father. She was an existence equivalent to private money. If she accidentally dropped it in the country of Jiang, where would she go to cry?
Gao Su drank a mouthful of the scalding knife and quickly scurried away. ”Hmm, we can just make a chef who understands medicine. I'll bring one right away. If Li Jun doesn't bring anyone, we can just use him.”
Ru Yi pushed the fresh vegetables towards him. Facing Gao Su's disapproving gaze, she smiled and said, ”This isn't my idea. It was instructed by Gao Shang before he left.”
Gao Su curled her lips. This grandson!
Gao Qian and Gao Kui couldn't do anything to him, they could only do it for him, and that was to keep him in check.
However, since it was his first time receiving such an important job, he would not drag him down.
Gao Su picked up two chopsticks worth of vegetables and didn't dare to drink anymore. She asked casually, ”Did you not see that spirited young man from that day?” Gao Qianqian pestered him, insisting that he ask her.
Ru Yi raised her head to look at him and smiled, ”Are you talking about Xue Sha Yun? Even though he's young, his martial arts is not bad. ”
