Xiao Pei locked Wei Feng and Wei Jie in the cell in the guard, and the people guarding them were Yan Yunwei brought by the King of Guangning from Yunfu.

Although it was almost April, the morning of Yanmen Pass was still very late, and the few people who had not slept all night couldn't help but yawn and snort all day at this time, and discussed the matter in the meeting hall.

"There is still about an hour before dawn, and everyone will go back to make up for sleep, and we will discuss it after dawn. ”

The king of Quang Ninh had already said this, and the other people did not hold on any longer, and saluted one after another and went back to the house to sleep.

Chu Shaoyuan rubbed his swollen and sore head with his hand and did not move.

"Yishu, how did you know where I am?" King Guangning sat down beside him, a little puzzled, "I don't even know about Anbeihou when I came to Yanmen Pass, how did you know about it?"

Chu Shaoyuan smiled lightly, "I've been secretly keeping an eye on the people who come and go to Yanmen Pass, just put more effort into it, it's not difficult," he didn't plan to say anything about Shen Shuofeng, he just explained lightly, but turned the conversation elsewhere, "Uncle Fifteen, there is something I still have to discuss with you," he said as he took out a letter from his arms, "You see, this is what I found out about the situation in Northwest Horse City." ”

After reading the ten lines at a glance, the King of Guangning frowned, "Anbeihou's appetite is inevitably too big, so many war horses have been sold by them to the outside of the pass, no wonder there are rumors in the northwest that Anbeihou is the emperor of the northwest." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, "I have witnessed these things with my own eyes, I have been raising my injuries outside the gate for two months, and the Tartars don't know my identity, so they sent me as a slave to the horse farm to brush the horses, looking at thousands of Central Plains war horses in the stables of the Tartars, I was shocked, such a large number of war horses, is Anbei Hou going to empty our Dayan? If they are allowed to guard the Yanmen Pass again, the consequences will be really unimaginable." ”

While the two were talking, they listened to the guard's report.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been injured, and now he looks very dangerous!"

King Guangning immediately stood up, "Go and call the military doctor, Yishu, you go over with me to have a look." ”

……

There was a strong smell of herbs in the room, and the person lying on the bed was constantly churning with his eyes closed at the moment, and the cry of pain was higher than the other, as if he had been shouting for a long time, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.

When Chu Shaoyuan and King Guangning arrived, they saw that the prince's skin outside the brocade quilt was red as if it had been boiled, and sweat kept pouring out of his forehead, and the whole person seemed to have been doused with water, and the sweat wet the brocade quilt.

And his face was full of hideous expressions, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Second brother, you hold on, the military doctor will be here soon!" Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly stepped forward and held the prince's hand in his hand.

King Guangning was also beside him to comfort the prince: "Shaozhou, bear with me." ”

The prince heard Chu Shaoyuan's voice in a daze, and he was very unhappy in his heart, stretched out his arm and subconsciously wanted to hit someone, muttering in his mouth: "...... Why didn't the fire burn you thirteen years ago! Why didn't you die after sending so many killers...... Hechang, didn't you say that it was foolproof? Why can't you take over Xiao Wei's pioneer camp...... Uncle... I don't want to ......" he muttered to the end, as if remembering something terrible, and roared in horror, "Uncle, don't force me!

King Guangning was stunned for a moment, and looked at the crown prince incredulously, although it was only intermittent, he understood in an instant, the assassins that the three princes met before turned out to be the prince's people!

He couldn't help but look at Chu Shaoyuan.

Chu Shaoyuan didn't have a special expression on his face, his expression was faint, and he was still holding the prince's hand in his hand, but his original flying look looked a little lost, and the cinnabar mole under the corner of his eyes was no longer red and dazzling, and became a little dull, and half of his delicate facial features were hidden in the shadows, showing a bit of melancholy.

Sensing King Guangning's gaze, Chu Shaoyuan raised his head and smiled at him gently, "Don't worry, Uncle Fifteen, the second brother is in a daze." ”

Even the words meant to excuse the crown prince, but King Guangning couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

King Quang Ninh patted him lightly on the shoulder.

……

Chanyi sat cross-legged on the kang, holding a thick account book in her hand.

In recent days, the weather has improved a lot, the snow has gradually melted, and the measures of the imperial court to open warehouses to release grain for disaster relief have also been approved layer by layer, alleviating the current situation of the victims in the suburbs of the city.

Chanyi also bought some bedding and clothes and other things, and distributed them to the victims, and the people on the outskirts of the city now mention the Xia family, there is no one who does not praise, and many of the victims are also saved because of Chanyi's good deeds, and the prestige of the Xia family is getting higher and higher among the people.

Jinping brought a plate of pears that had just been brought back from the big kitchen and put them on the table, "Miss, this is the Sydney pears that have just been launched this year, you can taste them, they are juicy and thin-skinned, and they are very sweet." ”

Jin Se joked on the side: "Sister Jinping must have eaten it secretly, otherwise how would she know so clearly." ”

Chanyi raised her head from the account book and looked at Jin Se with a smile, "You have wronged Jinping, she used to have acne and couldn't eat pears, and then she didn't like to eat pears." ”

Jin Se looked at Jinping with wide eyes, "When did this happen? Why don't I know?"

Jinping couldn't help but laugh, "At that time, you hadn't waited at Miss's side, so naturally you didn't know about these things." ”

Chanyi closed the account book, took a pear from the plate and put it in the small plate, and instructed Jinping, "Give this plate of pears to a few maids in the house. ”

Jin Se laughed: "Thank you, Miss, it's cheaper for a few of us." ”

When Jinxin came in, he saw a smile in the room, tilted his head strangely, and handed the letterhead in his hand to Chanyi.

"Miss, the second master came back from Fujian with some native products, the old lady saw that there was a letterhead from the second master to you, and sent Zhang's mother to send it to you, just when the slave maid passed through Fushoutang, Zhang's mother gave it to the slave maid. ”

Chanyi hurriedly took it and opened the envelope with small silver scissors, in addition to a thin piece of stationery, there were several neat stacks of silver tickets, she opened it and saw that they were all large silver tickets, she counted them carefully, and there were 12,000 taels!

She couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly opened the letter paper, and breathed a sigh of relief while reading.

Xia Mingche said in the letter that the flood in Quanzhou had calmed down, and the first silver payment they had invested in the river had also been settled, so they sent it back to her in the letter, and it was his personal servant who arranged to send the letter, so he was not worried about safety.

Chanyi put away the silver tickets and instructed Jinxin: "When you go to the gatehouse, you will say that I will go to the outskirts of the city to see our porridge shack and ask them to prepare the carriage." ”
