Chapter 390
"The prince is angry!" Lord Rui's subordinates also felt very embarrassed, "The main reason is that we have the Yan Wangfu in front of us, and we can't use all our strength to deal with the Yunwang Mansion, so we gave the Yunwang Mansion a chance." ”
"Waste, waste, just know how to make excuses!" Lord Rui was angry, "You can't even deal with a stinky bitch, and you still have the face to speak in front of this king!" ”
"Lord Wang, we have lost almost two thousand manpower in the hands of the King of Yu's Mansion, and General Zhenguo has not appeared in the capital for almost three days, and his subordinates are worried that he has quietly gone out of the city to move rescue troops. So we can't afford to make such senseless sacrifices anymore. ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, there is only one master left in the Mansion of the Emperor of Yu, she is an insignificant person, it is not worth us to deal with her so painstakingly!"
The strategists of King Rui's Mansion found an opportunity and began to persuade Lord Rui not to spoil a big deal because of his own personal grudges.
"Is the news that Lao Wu was stabbed to death in the Northeast true or false?" Rui Wang Ye asked suspiciously, although he hated Wu Wanyi in his heart, he also understood that now was not the time to settle a personal vendetta with Wu Wanyi, he had not been able to capture the palace before, and now he couldn't let more people deal with her.
"Back to the prince, my subordinates should see that this matter should be true." The strategist said, "There has been no news since the prince went to the northeast, and the emperor has never asked about it. The Northeast didn't send a letter, and the emperor didn't ask. ”
"Yes, a few days ago, the emperor sent a letter to the west, asking them to send out 10,000 troops and be ready to attack the northeast at any time."
"According to what you say, this old five had an accident before?" Lord Rui's eyes flashed.
"Quite possibly. It may be that the news was suppressed in the palace, so it didn't come out. ”
Although Lord Rui is still a little suspicious, he has already believed in his subordinates' statements in his heart. "That's it, let the people besieging the palace of the king of Yu stop for the time being!" When I get to the top of the throne in the future, I'll settle the account with that stinky bitch again.
"Niangniang, the people surrounding the gate of the palace have all withdrawn!" During a routine inspection of the situation outside the house, the dean of nursing noticed something unusual.
"All withdrawn?" Wu Wanyi wondered a little in her heart, "Did Lord Rui give up attacking the palace or did he have other plans?" ”
"Niangniang, do you want your subordinates to go out of the house to investigate?" Riri asked.
"It's good!" Wu Wanyi nodded, "Don't let your guard down, lest they kill one of them and catch us off guard." ”
"Don't worry, my subordinates will not take it lightly." The dean then reported to Wu Wanyi about the subsequent security arrangements before leaving Shaohuayuan.
"Steward Zhu!" When Dean Nursing came out of Shaohuayuan, he happened to meet Steward Zhu, who wanted to report to Wu Wanyi about the grain storage in the house, and because he couldn't avoid it, the two met face to face.
"O Dean! Long time no see! Steward Zhu said a little embarrassed. Since the siege of the palace of the king of Yu, the princess has rumored that he has received little, and Steward Zhu vaguely feels that he has been excluded.
Dean Zhu smiled back embarrassedly, since the last time I bumped into Steward Zhu handed over the security map of the palace to the side concubine. The dean began to deliberately avoid him. After all, if you don't serve the master, you won't be able to go together.
"By the way, Dean Protector, I heard that the officers and soldiers attacking the outer part of the Emperor's Mansion have been withdrawn, I don't know if it's true?" Steward Zhu happened to meet Dean Nuan, so I checked the situation with him.
"It's a retreat for the time being, but the princess said that she can't let her guard down, so the palace has to be on alert." Steward Zhu asked, and Dean Zhu answered honestly.
"Well... The side concubine"....
"Steward Zhu, I still have to do what the princess instructed, so I'll leave first." Without waiting for Steward Zhu to finish speaking, Dean Zhu turned around and left.
Steward Zhu tightened his hands and turned around and entered the house.
"Princess Niangniang, the old slave has come to report to you the grain reserves in the house." Steward Zhu entered the house and saluted Wu Wanyi in a regular manner.
"Well, let's talk about it!" Wu Wanyi didn't raise her head, looking at the latest defense map that the dean had just presented to her, and studied it carefully.
"Princess Niangniang, the food in the house is consumed very quickly, and it can last for another half a month at most, and the granary will bottom out." Steward Zhu said, "There are also wound medicine and gauze, and we must purchase them again." ”
"There is only half a moon left!" Wu Wanyi frowned and raised her eyes to look at Steward Zhu, "Why is there only half a moon left?" Didn't Concubine Ben tell you to prepare more food before? ”
"Because of the short and urgent time, the old slave couldn't buy much." Steward Zhu replied.
"Didn't buy much!" Wu Wanyi's face sank suddenly, "Steward Zhu, when there is no emergency, the Yuwang Mansion has a month's grain reserves, counting from the time we closed the mansion, today is the seventeenth day, you are now telling the concubine that the grain reserves of the Yuwang Mansion can only last for another half a month, so where did the newly purchased grain go!" ”
Wu Wanyi's eyes were very sharp, she couldn't believe that she trusted Steward Zhu so much, but she didn't expect him to drop the chain for herself several times.
"Ahh Where have you gone! Wu Wanyi was furious and slapped the table and asked loudly.
"The princess is angry!" Steward Zhu lowered his head and did not speak. He was very surprised, but the princess Niangniang, who had checked the account books of the palace several times, even knew about the palace's usual grain reserves.
"Anger? How do you let this concubine calm her anger! Wu Wanyi pointed to Steward Zhu's head and took a deep breath, "Come on, go and bring all the housekeepers over with the account books." ”
"Princess, what are you...?" Steward Zhu raised his head in shock, but found that the princess was staring at him.
"Steward Zhu is very old, and the house is not peaceful during this time, so you are distracted." Wu Wanyi said in darkness, "Before your prince returns to the mansion, let's take off the stewardship of the mansion for the time being!"
"!" Steward Zhu looked at Wu Wanyi in shock.
"Yinghan, send Steward Zhu out!" Wu Wanyi didn't want to say much, since she didn't want to do things for herself, Wu Wanyi didn't force it.
Steward Zhu pursed his lips and turned to leave. Although he had also handed over a lot of housekeeping to the princess before, there were so many things in charge of the palace, if she didn't help her, the princess couldn't control it.
"Master, why don't you say this Steward Zhu doesn't go to buy grain?" Yan Hong was a little puzzled, after all, Steward Zhu treated her mother very well, "Now that the food is tight enough for half a month, I don't know if the things in this palace can be calmed down for half a month?" ”
