The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Lu Kai's words made Shen Ruolan couldn't help but curl her lips. Jiang Dichen might be a good general, but he was not a good man.

Shen Ruolan didn't want to hear any more news about Jiang Dichen, so she told Lu Kai, "Go down, and remember to send a few people to Cangling City regularly to keep an eye on the movements in the city. If there is anything special, notify me immediately."

Shen Ruolan is not afraid of anything now, except that the two countries will suddenly start a war and she will not have time to escape.

Lu Kai said to Shen Ruolan: "Yes, young lady."

After saying this, he turned and left.

In Cangling City, although Qin Zhen had sent back several batches of refugees, the number of people sent back was still more than 10,000 less than when he came. This made him frown. He looked at the booklet and asked General Su: "General Su, are you sure that all these people left two months ago?"

When General Su heard Qin Zhen doubt him, he looked at him with an unhappy face and said, "General Qin, although I am old, I am not confused."

Qin Zhen said: "General Su, that's not what I meant. I just have some doubts in my heart. Where did all these refugees go?"

General Su sighed and said, "I have sent people to check before. Most of the refugees have gone to the other side of the boundary river. General Qin can go over and check it out."

"But there are no refugees in the Boundary River?" Qin Zhen said with a frown.

The first thing he did when he arrived here was to go to the boundary river to check. Except for a few refugees, the rest were local people, and these refugees were not on the list at all.

General Su said with certainty: "How can there be none? If I am not mistaken, there are at least more than 10,000 in the boundary river..."

General Su paused when he spoke here. He looked at Qin Zhen and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "General Qin, I know where those refugees went."

"Where did you go?" Qin Zhen asked.

General Su said, "Let's go to Nanshan."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "There are many bandits in Nanshan. I'm afraid these refugees have already joined them."

Qin Zhen's expression became serious after hearing what General Su said. "If the refugees really join the Nanshan bandits, then things may not be that simple."

Nanshan is a lawless area. If the Beiming people attack there, the Xia Kingdom will naturally not let it go. When the two countries clash, it will be another fierce battle.

General Su was silent for a moment, then said to Qin Zhen, "General Qin, you should quickly write a letter to the emperor. I will send someone to check on the situation at Nanshan."

Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment and said to General Su, "General Su, let me check this matter first, and it won't be too late to send a letter to the emperor later."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble General Qin with this matter." After General Su finished speaking, he left with his subordinates.

Qin Zhen handed over the matters in hand to his subordinates and walked out of Cangling City with his personal guards.

In a restaurant in Anshui City, Xia Country, a young man with extraordinary temperament sat in the main seat in a private room and asked his subordinates: "The autumn harvest is coming soon. How are the preparations for harvesting grain going?"

Gan Luo told his master the truth: "Master, we are a step late this year. The grain in the entire Anshui City's jurisdiction has been taken by others."

After Xia Hongmiao heard what his subordinates said, he paused for a moment and asked, "Has the entire Anshui City's food supply been secured?"

"Yes." Gan Luo replied.

When Xia Hongmiao heard that all the food in the city had been bought, his heart suddenly sank. He could guess who had the financial resources to buy out the entire Anshui City's food without even checking.

After all, all countries are suffering from disasters right now, and only their Xia country has abundant water resources, so it has not been affected much.

But even if it has no impact, he doesn't want others to buy his food.

Xia Hongmiao was silent for a moment, then ordered his subordinates, "Pass the order down. I will pay three times the price to buy the grain that has already been sold."

Gan Luo listened to his master's plan. He was silent for a moment and said to him, "Master, the price offered by the other party is very high. If we offer three times more, will it be too much of a loss?"

Xia Hongmiao said to his subordinates: "It's a loss, but it's better than the enemy buying it."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Gan Luo said, turned around and walked out, but before he had taken a few steps, he returned and said to his master: "Master, there is news from the boundary river, saying that the fish in the boundary river are almost caught out by the villagers of the two countries."

"Fishing?" Xia Hongmiao was silent for a moment and said, "Prepare for the trip. We'll go down and see what's going on tomorrow."

"Yes, master." Gan Luo replied.

After there were no refugees in Nanfeng Village, Shen Ruolan felt much more relaxed. After giving injections to the two people every day, she would stay at home to make clothes for the children and take care of her pregnancy with peace of mind.

Half a month later, Shen Ruolan helped Mu Jinxuan to bleed for the last time and said to him, "Young Master, the poison in your body has been cleared. Next, you just need to slowly replenish your body's vitality."

Mu Jinxuan heard Shen Ruolan say that he was fine. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if he was really fine. Now he felt relieved from the inside out. Even the pain in his internal organs disappeared without a trace. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the pregnant woman in front of him and said, "Well, the things you want will arrive in a month."

When Shen Ruolan heard that the things she wanted were about to arrive, she smiled at him in a good mood and said, "Well, the money and goods are settled, which is good."

After saying that, she bandaged his wound and said, "I'll prescribe you a blood-replenishing prescription later. You can go back and drink it. You don't need to get an injection tomorrow. As for the delivery..."

Shen Ruolan hesitated for a moment and said to Mu Jinxuan, "When your goods arrive as they should, and I'm sure there are no problems, I will hand your jade pendant over to the delivery person. Otherwise, I will really take your jade pendant to Yan State to collect the difference."

She lacks everything now. If the man in front of her really dares to fool her, she doesn't mind taking his jade pendant to get the corresponding silver.

Mu Jinxuan felt very unhappy at Shen Ruolan's implicit order to leave. Suddenly, the pair of busy, delicate white hands that did not match her face at all reminded him of her real appearance. She was obviously a beauty, but she insisted on painting herself to look like a ghost. What a waste of such a beautiful face.

When Mu Jinxuan thought of this, he grabbed Shen Ruolan's jade finger, put it in his big palm and played with it, saying: "Would you like to come with me to Yan State? Once there, I will protect you, and you won't have to go through so much trouble to disguise yourself."

Shen Ruolan was startled when her hand was suddenly held by someone else, but she quickly came to her senses, forcibly pulled her hand out, and said to Mu Jinxuan: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I am fine like this."
