The evil first wife who wears a book, and the future first assistant wants to kill me every day

Lu Xingchuan said: "If you want to expand your power, you must not only recruit troops, but weapons are also a top priority. But don't worry, sir, I am not reckless enough to buy these iron tools with my true identity."

"Furthermore, I have also investigated that the source of this iron tool is a small iron mine accidentally mined by nomads outside Beiguan City. It is not within the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the channels are secret and will not be investigated."

"How did His Highness learn about this channel?"

Lu Xingchuan said: "Maybe it's luck. Zuo Qingfeng was recently transferred to Shangfang Division by his father, and he happened to catch a suspect who escaped from that small iron mine."

Zuo Qingfeng was one of the first people to follow King Qi. He has been around for a long time and is trustworthy.

But Gu Changling was still worried, "Has Your Highness checked the prisoner's origin?"

"Don't worry, sir, we've checked everything. This matter is of great importance. How can I be a fool? This suspect has a clean background. He was abducted to do hard work. After escaping, he robbed for livelihood and was imprisoned."

Gu Changling hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Where to meet?"

"Kongmingshan, Cheng Xu will go with Mr. when the time comes."

Cheng Xu is the commander of King Qi's secret guards.

"it is good."

After explaining the matter, Lu Xingchuan thought of what he heard today and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I heard that Mr. participated in the horse racing today and won the first place. This is not like Mr.'s style."

What impressed him the most was his patience.

He often said that if you endure what others cannot endure, you can achieve what others cannot tolerate.

Unexpectedly, he would participate in such a ostentatious competition today and stand out in front of Lu Xingzhi.

Gu Changling said calmly: "It may not be a good thing to hold back for a long time. Only when you show off your edge occasionally will you become more bloody. Today's situation is an accident, but your highness can rest assured that the prince will not notice anything."

"Of course I feel relieved when you do what you do, but I'm just a little curious. I heard that Princess Yunwei paid 5000 taels for your husband at that time, and personally encouraged him. It caused quite a fuss, and outsiders are saying that you have no doubt about your love for each other."

Gu Changling's smile did not reach his eyes, "Rumors stop with the wise, Your Highness."

Lu Xingchuan shrugged, "Okay, I've thought too much."

The next day, Gu Changling said he was ill and was recuperating at home.

Yunwei planned to go to Kongming Mountain to find Grandma Cui early in the morning. When she heard that he was sick, she went to visit first.

I saw Gu Changling lying on the bed, his face pale, he could only cough two out of three sentences, and looked weak.

Yesterday I was still alive and kicking when riding a horse, but today I am sick and fall down when the wind blows.

Yunwei didn't ask too many questions, just expressed her concern.

"I feel like you are very ill. How about I find an imperial doctor to look at you?"

Gu Changling said weakly: "Thank you, Princess, for your concern. I just caught some wind and cold. I just need to rest for a day. There is no need to alarm the imperial doctor."

"I see you don't have a maid by your side, Ru Shi is attentive, why don't I keep Ru Shi and take care of you."

"No, I'm just sleepy. Just take a nap. I don't need anyone to wait on me. The princess is kind and I appreciate it."

After refusing one after another, it seems that there is a reason for the disease.

Yun Wei was also very sensible, "Okay, you can rest more, I'm going out for a walk."

"Princess, go slowly."

As soon as Yunwei left, Gu Changling lifted the brocade quilt, put on the clothes sent by Lu Xingchuan, put on a mask, quietly went out through the back door, and got into a blue-grey carriage.

At the front door, Yunwei also got on the carriage and told Rufeng to go to Kongming Mountain.

The carriage was swaying along the official road, and Yunwei was in a good mood to tease the birds.

I have been teaching it to shout Jixiang Ruyi, because in the past, Aunt Cui’s bird liked to shout Jixiang Ruyi sooner or later.

When Rushi and Ruhua were young, they went to Kongming Mountain with Yunwei, and they also knew a little about Grandma Cui's temperament.

Rushi joked, "The princess must be gentler this time. Grandma is getting older and can no longer tease her like she did when she was a child."

Yun Wei was slightly embarrassed when she thought of the past, "I know, I wasn't young and ignorant before."

Ruhua also smiled, "The princess just pulled the vegetables from grandma, stepped on her flowers, and let her chickens go. In fact, she is not ignorant."

"Yes, our princess is very sensible."

Yun Wei deliberately irritated them, "One or two of them are so brave that they dare to laugh at me."

There is harmony in the carriage here, and on the wild road in the forest over there, a simple carriage moves forward quietly.

Kongming Mountain is remote, and after about an hour, Yunwei and his party finally arrived at Grandma Cui's residence.

Grandma Cui's Taoyao courtyard is still similar to what she remembers from her childhood. There are a few fruit trees on the left and vegetables on the right. Further east, they raise a few chickens and ducks. They quack and cluck when they hear someone coming. , especially restless.

Aunt Cui heard the commotion and came out. She saw the four strangers standing in front of her door, carrying large and small bags, and wondered: "Who are you?"

Yun Wei stepped forward and gave a standard greeting greeting, "Mommy, I am Yun Wei."

When Grandma Cui heard about Yun Wei, her expression dimmed, "What are you doing here, Princess?"

Yun Wei smiled and walked forward, "I suddenly dreamed of my grandma a few days ago, and I remembered how kind my grandma was to me at that time. But at that time, I was not sensible and ruined many things of my grandma. After thinking about it, I felt difficult. An, that’s why I came here specifically to apologize.”

It really doesn't mean much to apologize after nine years.

Aunt Cui shook her head, "No need, I am incompetent and can't teach you. You don't have to apologize. A farmhouse like the old woman cannot entertain distinguished guests like the princess. You should go back early."

"Mommy, you just don't accept my apology. Can you collect these things first?"

Yun Wei was not angry because of her cold attitude. Instead, she said with a hint of coquettishness: "You don't know that this is halfway up the mountain, so carriages are inconvenient. Later, we all climbed up, carrying things along the way, and our tired feet were swollen. Come on, mama, can you just let me rest before leaving?"

Even though Aunt Cui doesn't like Yunwei, she still wants to repay the Duke's love.

Furthermore, Yun Wei seems to be much more sensible now than when she was a child, and her sweet voice is always easy to make people feel soft-hearted.

"If you don't mind being shabby, come in."

"How can I dislike it? I don't know, mama. After I left here, I have never seen a place more secluded and beautiful than yours."

Aunt Cui glanced at her and said, "Really? Old lady, do you remember that you swore before that you would never live in a farmhouse like this again? It would be inconvenient to do anything."

"It's not like I used to be a kid and didn't understand the joy of living peacefully in this countryside."

Aunt Cui poured a few cups of hot water and said, "There is no tea, so please make do with it."

"Hey, mama, I don't know, but I just like drinking water. It's light and refreshing to quench my thirst."

Mother Cui: "..."

What happened to Yunwei? She was so domineering when she was a child, but now she is so well-behaved. Did she take the wrong medicine?

After Yunwei entered the door, she hurriedly brought Jixiang over, "Mom, look, is this bird the same as the one you had?"

Grandma was startled and her eyes looked a little nostalgic. Yunwei was especially winking and immediately ordered someone to find a job.
