Next, Mu Xize just nodded slightly, and did not ask deeply about the lag in military salaries, but looked at the soldiers who spoke before very kindly, and said, "Would you like to take me to see those sick soldiers?"

Hearing Mu Xize say this, these soldiers had a feeling that all problems might be solved, and they all burst into tears and laughed, eager to immediately turn Mu Xize and Ye Ningxiang to the sick soldiers.

The living conditions of the low-ranking soldiers were not very good, and generally about ten people slept in a camp, which made the camp crowded and further fostered the spread of disease.

In order to control the number of sick soldiers, these sick soldiers were all arranged to be isolated in a specific camp, and the camp where Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize were at this time was the residence where one of the sick soldiers lived.

In the tent, ten soldiers lay weakly on their beds, and when they saw them coming, they did not even have the strength to get up and say goodbye, and two of them seemed to be unconscious.

Before going to the barracks, Ye Ningxiang always thought that the barracks were sacred and great places, soldiers lived in the barracks, and soldiers were the only force to protect their families and defend the country. Although the living conditions in the barracks may be somewhat difficult due to the influence of the allocation of military supplies, the morale of the soldiers should always be high and the spirit should be full.

But from the empty field to the isolation camp, all Ye Ningxiang saw was low morale and full of spirit, and she was full of emotion in her heart, she couldn't imagine that after her father's death, the army that left the country gradually became what it is now, if it goes on like this for a long time, even if there is no Xiao Qingyu, there will be others who will destroy and leave the country.

Under the guidance of Ye Ningxiang, Mu Xize sat next to the most sick soldier, wiping his feverish body over and over again with a wet towel, and after a long time, the man finally opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first sentence he said very weakly was "Am I dead?"

Ye Ningxiang covered his quilt and said with concern: "No, it was the prince who wiped your body for you over and over again to lower your body temperature, which pulled you back from the death line!"

Hearing this, the man burst into tears, and was about to get up and kowtow to Mu Xize, but as soon as his body moved, he was stopped by Mu Xize fiercely, "What are you going to do, do you want this king's efforts to do to you in vain? Lie down honestly!"

The man didn't dare to disobey Mu Xize when he heard him say this, and he obediently lay in the bed, only exposing his head outside.

Then, Mu Xize sighed and said: "I didn't prepare today, and coming here is just to make everyone feel better, don't worry, even if the entire forbidden army abandons you, I won't abandon you!"

Ye Ningxiang felt that Mu Xize's words were not the kind of formal official words, but they were really emotional, as if they wanted to save the lives of every sick soldier from the bottom of their hearts.

Out of the camp, Ye Ningxiang said tentatively: "I heard that the prince has always been known for his coldness and strictness in leading soldiers, and for those soldiers who are dragging their feet, although they know that they should be cared for, they will not really waste a lot of time on them, how has it changed now?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Mu Xize's eyes, and then he smiled lightly: "I'm old and soft-hearted, I can't bear to watch them fend for themselves like this." ”

Ye Ningxiang knew that Mu Xize must have experienced some extremely secret things over the years, and these things even changed him as a person, but she also knew that if he hadn't taken the initiative to say it, even if she asked a hundred times, Mu Xize would not have told her.

Ye Ningxiang feels that there is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone a secret that will be buried forever, as long as you have patience, you will definitely be able to discover Mu Xize's hidden secret. So Ye Ningxiang didn't ask any more questions, and followed Mu Xize quickly towards the military doctor's tent.

Haitang sat in Lin Shicheng's arms, his face was a little pale, and Lin Shicheng was thoughtfully feeding her medicine, different from his previous worries, at this moment his face was full of smiles, and there seemed to be a feeling of joy more than winning the battle.

That's not right, Haitang fainted, Lin Shicheng should be anxious and sad, why is this mood now? Ye Ningxiang was puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "General Lin, is Madame okay?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Shicheng smiled even more, and looked at Haitang very gently before saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little weak." ”

At this time, Mu Xize actually laughed and asked directly, "How many months?"

"The doctor said it had been two months. Haitang was no longer embarrassed to see Mu Xize, but answered Mu Xize's question with a smile.

Ye Ningxiang suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that Begonia was pregnant with a little general, no wonder Lin Shicheng was so happy.

"Great, according to this calculation, the baby will be born in the early summer of the next year. Ye Ningxiang walked to Begonia's side, gently touched Begonia's belly, felt it carefully for a while and said, "It's nothing special!"

Haitang couldn't help poking Ye Ningxiang's nose, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, it's only been two months, how can there be any special feelings?"

"General Lin has just been promoted, I don't think I have my own mansion in the capital, but I have a few mansions in my hands that are very good, you can go and have a look when you have time, just move in directly if you see it, and I will deal with the follow-up matters." Mu Xize said with concern.

Although he didn't care that Begonia used to be Mu Xize's side concubine, but this Begonia's ex-husband had to blatantly give him a house, Lin Shicheng still felt weird, and it was difficult to accept it, so he excused himself and said: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, I have already chosen a house in the future, and I can settle my wife tomorrow." ”

"In that case, Madame should take care of herself, and the king will go back first. ”

I thought that Mu Xize would return home immediately after returning from the barracks, but he didn't expect that he would go to a place called Fuheng Qianzhuang first, and then go directly into the inner hall to talk to the boss of Qianzhuang. Ye Ningxiang was blocked out and walked around the hall very bored.

At this time, a gorgeously dressed and extravagant young man slowly walked into the hall, and the guys in the Qian Village all saluted him respectfully, which attracted Ye Ningxiang's attention.

Ye Ningxiang turned around and carefully looked at the person's appearance from the side, although it was only a side face, she could also see that the person was majestic and dignified.

The man raised his hand slightly, motioned for the men to excuse himself, and entered the inner hall with a few of the stewards. Ye Ningxiang deduced that this Fuheng money village belonged to this man nine times out of ten, but it was seen that this man was only in his early twenties, and it was very likely that his son inherited his father's business and stained his old man's light.

The man came out not long after entering, and he was still in a radiant manner, but at this moment his brows were tightly locked, and his facial features were almost gathered together, as if he had encountered something very tricky.

Probably kept staring at the man, and the man actually looked at Ye Ningxiang as well, so frightened that Ye Ningxiang hurriedly moved her gaze elsewhere, but at this moment, Ye Ningxiang obviously heard the man sigh heavily. Then he walked out of the hall.

Not long after the man left, Mu Xize also walked out of the inner hall, and the person's expression was completely different, Mu Xize smiled, seemed to be very happy in his heart, and said to Ye Ningxiang with a smile: "Xiao Yezi, let you wait for a long time! ”

Mu Xize continued with a smug face: "I had deposited 10,000 taels of gold in Qianzhuang before, and I just negotiated with the boss that Qianzhuang will withdraw all of them within three days, and then I will buy warm clothes and grain and grass on my behalf and send them to the barracks." ”

"10,000 taels of gold!" Even if she was the eldest lady of the general's family in her previous life, she was also a princess, Ye Ningxiang had never seen such a large amount of money as 10,000 taels of gold, and she was shocked for a while.

Realizing that she was a little rude, Ye Ningxiang lowered her voice and continued: "Didn't the prince's previous property be confiscated, how could there be so much money?"

"Who doesn't have a small treasury to hide some private money!" Mu Xize said with a sly smile.

Most people have done this thing of hiding private money, but Xiang Xize hid 10,000 taels of gold in one hiding, and I am afraid that I can't find a second one when I look at the entire country.

And although the three boxes of gold can't reach 10,000 taels, seven or eight thousand taels should be about the same, so it seems that Mu Xi Ze's wealth is not an exaggeration. Ye Ningxiang was surprised and sighed in her heart, and became extremely curious about the source of this gold.

"Since the prince is so rich, why did he pretend to be very sloppy before?"

"It's always good to keep a low profile, and no amount of money is hard-earned, so you should use it in a useful place!"

As soon as the two of them walked to the gate of the palace, they found that there seemed to be something wrong with the Ning Palace, because there were two columns of eunuchs standing neatly outside the palace, and in the middle was an extremely luxurious carriage. There was no one in the carriage, probably because the person had already entered King Ning's mansion.

Seeing this battle, Ye Ningxiang guessed that the person who came here should be Mu Jingyuan, who had just ascended the throne and was playing prestige everywhere.

Hearing the voices of the eunuchs greeting him, Mu Xize also knew that Mu Jingyuan was now in his palace, and then as if he realized something, he grabbed Ye Ningxiang's hand tightly, and there was an uneasy look in his eyes.

"Xiao Yezi, I'm a little reluctant to you. ”

Ye Ningxiang was a little puzzled why Mu Xize suddenly said such a thing, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Why did the prince say it as if I was leaving!"

As soon as the two entered the palace, they found that all the slaves and maids in the palace were kneeling in the courtyard, and each of them did not even dare to raise their heads, some of their legs were trembling, and some were still crying.

"Third brother, you have worked really hard to inspect the army in the bitter winter. It was obviously a word of concern, but when Mu Jingyuan said it, he showed strong jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Those slightly more courageous slaves and maids raised their heads slightly, looking at Ye Ningxiang very longingly, as if they were looking forward to Ye Ningxiang saying something good to the emperor and exempt them from the death penalty.

Mu Jingyuan turned his head to look at Ye Ningxiang, and said with a triumphant look: "Ye Ningxiang, I have moved your luggage to the palace, you go back to the house to see if anything has been left, if not, follow me back to the palace quickly!"

At this time, Ye Ningxiang understood why Mu Xize would say that she was reluctant to say anything, but she was still a little incredulous, so she asked in a low voice, "Does the emperor want to take me away?"

"I am the emperor, everything that left the country is mine, and you yourself are naturally mine. Speaking of this, Mu Jingyuan deliberately glanced at Mu Xize with contempt, and continued: "Now I just want you to live in a different place. ”

Ye Ningxiang looked at Mu Xize and saw that his face was calm, so calm that he seemed to be a little unreal, but he was really good at disguise. Then he said respectfully: "Ning Xiang obeys." ”

As soon as Ye Ningxiang entered the house, she found that her room seemed to have been ransacked, and it could be said that there was nothing of value left, and she sighed in her heart that this Mu Jingyuan was extraordinarily efficient.

Because she was always worried about the slaves and maids in the palace who didn't know what crimes she had committed, Ye Ningxiang only took a general look to see if anything had been left behind, and hurried back to the courtyard.

"Third brother, I went to your house today, and I saw that the slaves and maids in your house were all very scattered, did not know etiquette, and ignored the rules, how do you say I should teach them!" Mu Jingyuan lowered his voice and said coldly.

Without waiting for Mu Xize to answer, Ye Ningxiang, who had just come out of the house, knelt down in front of Mu Jingyuan first, and pleaded earnestly: "Ning Wangfu has always had few people, and there are no complicated things to deal with, so the slaves and maids are a little more casual, but everyone is always loyal and conscientious, and please ask the emperor to open up the Internet!"

"Well, then spare their capital crimes, and they will be imprisoned in the court, and they will live forever as slaves. Mu Jingyuan deliberately walked up to Mu Xize and said loudly, as if he was afraid that he would not hear his punishment decision, and smiled maliciously after speaking.
