Yue Qingming didn't agree to follow Jiang Qianbai to see Li Taikang in the end, she stayed in the splendid cloth village all day today, dealt with a lot of things, she was really tired, and what she wanted to do most was to go back and lie down.

After Ruyi sent her back to Yuefu, the first thing she did when she returned to the room was to throw off her shoes, and then lay on the bed, and then let out a very comfortable sigh, and wrapped herself in the quilt with her eyes closed.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Miss, I know that you are very tired after a busy day, but you still have to eat dinner, I have already prepared it, can I bring it to you now?" ”

Yue Qingming nodded: "Let them send it up, by the way, let people prepare hot water, and I will take a bath after dinner." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it."

Not long after Ruyi walked out of the room, the people in the kitchen brought Yue Qingming's dinner into her room, all of which were her favorite dishes, and after they were neatly placed on the table, the air was filled with the aroma of food.

Yue Qingming sat up from the bed violently, ran directly to the table without having time to put on his shoes, and picked up chopsticks to eat regardless of his image.

"The food in Jiangnan City is still the best!" Yue Qingming sighed while eating: "When I was in the Imperial City, I couldn't eat such delicious food that tasted so good!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yue Qingming stuffed two pieces of meat into her mouth, and when she chewed, she couldn't help but think of the scene here before, when she was in Jiangnan City, she would let Jiang Qiancheng accompany her, but now she is the only one here, and she instantly feels a feeling of loneliness.

As soon as the meat in her mouth was swallowed, the tears couldn't help but fall, she didn't react much, Ruyi, who had just come back, saw the picture of Yue Qingming crying, she panicked instantly, and hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Miss, why are you crying all of a sudden? Is the food not tasty? ”

Yue Qingming shook his head, quickly wiped away the tears he shed, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Yue Qingming didn't say anything, and Ruyi was embarrassed to ask more at such a time, for fear of touching Yue Qingming's sore spot, so he could only choose to stand by her side silently and accompany her.

"Ruyi," Yue Qingming took the initiative to speak: "Don't tell anyone when I shed tears just now, not even the third sister!" ”

"You're ......"

"I just suddenly thought of what happened before, and I was a little emotional, it's not sad, it's not a big deal, so I don't need to tell them, so as not to make them worry about me."

Ruyi thought for a moment, then nodded: "Got it, I won't tell anyone." ”

"Also, what's going on in the Imperial City right now? Did Jiang Qiancheng have someone send me a message? ”

Ruyi shook his head.

Yue Qingming's eyes dimmed in an instant, it had been a while since she returned to Jiangnan City, and there was no news from Jiang Qiancheng's side, could it be that he was waiting for him to write to him first?

Ruyi saw that she was a little unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "Miss, don't be angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't send news back because the imperial city is very busy, not because he doesn't care about you." ”

Yue Qingming pursed his lips, his chopsticks flicked the white rice in the bowl, and his eyes had lost interest in these delicious foods compared to just now.

Ruyi said again: "If the young lady is very concerned about the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will fly the pigeon and send the book back to the imperial city to inquire about the situation, so that the young lady can rest assured!" ”

"Forget it," Yue Qingming waved his hand: "This kind of thing still doesn't bother you, and maybe Jiang Qiancheng is really busy now, if I make trouble unreasonably, it will increase his workload, I don't want to help him!" ”

"Then Miss, you ......"

"I don't need to fly pigeons to pass on the book, if I have something, I will write to him."

"Yes."

Although Yue Qingming said that he believed that Jiang Qiancheng was busy, the expression on her face still looked a little unhappy, and she thought that for the sake of insurance, it was better to secretly fly the pigeon and pass the book back to ask what was going on in the imperial city.

In fact, Ruyi really did that, and when Yue Qingming was taking a bath, she went back to her room, summoned a carrier pigeon, tied a note to its leg and released it.

Yue Qingming soaked in the bathtub, surrounded by the warmth of hot water, and the fatigue of today's whole day seemed to have come to naught at this time.

That night, Yue Qingming slept well, did not dream, and slept directly until the next morning, which was rare, waking up when the sky was slightly bright, and getting up before Ruyi came to serve her.

When Ruyi came, Yue Qingming had already finished washing up and was moving her body in the yard, she was a little surprised: "Miss, why did you get up so early today?" Is it because you didn't sleep well at night? ”

"No, quite the opposite, I slept well, so I woke up early."

"That's good."

"That's right, Ruyi, today is the day of the purchase of Splendid Cloth Village, you can accompany me to go shopping after breakfast later, there are a lot of things to buy."

"Good!"

At this time, inside the East Palace of the Imperial City.

Jiang Qiancheng sat with Gu Shun and Fang Huai, with their cooperation, the rich businessmen on the list that Jiang Qiancheng gave them had all agreed to cooperate, and they promised to leave the imperial city temporarily under the secret protection of Jiang Qiancheng, and most of the property under their names was also transferred to the underground = Qian Zhuang.

Of course, that underground = money village was found by Jiang Qiancheng before, and now it is used by him.

Gu Shun asked him while drinking tea: "Jiang Qiancheng, now that those rich merchants have begun to leave the imperial city one after another, how do you explain it to the emperor?" ”

"I'm not going to explain anything, I'm just responsible for getting rid of those people on the list, as long as they are not in the Imperial City, my mission is completed, and other things have nothing to do with me."

Gu Shun and Fang Huai looked at each other, their expressions still a little worried: "But Jiang Qiancheng, I don't think the emperor will end this matter so easily." ”

"I know."

"If you know, why don't you do something right away?"

Jiang Qiancheng raised his head and looked at Gu Shun and said, "I don't know what the emperor's attitude is towards this now, how can I take the next step?" ”

"This ......"

"Now our actions in the Imperial City are basically to take one step at a time, there is no better way, after all, no one can guess what the emperor intends to do next."

Gu Shun sighed, this is also true, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, it is difficult to immediately determine what to do next, just sitting here and waiting, it is not a way!

"Jiang Qiancheng," Gu Shun spoke again: "Didn't you say that you also arranged eyeliner in the imperial study, and he couldn't find out the emperor's plans?" ”
