Princess Qin thought of the red spots on the woman's face: "That woman has a diseased face, how could Mr. Lu like her?"
If she really wanted to take her back to the capital as a concubine, she would have to look good. King Qin looked at her and said, "She was afraid of being discovered, so she deliberately made a birthmark on her face."
Princess Qin suddenly understood, and Ye Fuxun asked again: "But why was she so depressed that she went to a pawn shop to exchange hairpins?"
"It was said that someone had stolen her baggage on the road, so she took the love token given to her by Lord Lu to be pawned in a pawnshop." King Qin had already interrogated this point, so he knew it clearly.
After such a commotion, everyone was already tired. The chef of Ye Mansion had already prepared hot meals, and everyone had a comfortable dinner after taking a short rest.
After dinner, Ye Fuxun walked to the courtyard as usual for a walk. Unexpectedly, he had just walked not far when he suddenly stopped: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Ji Ji Yannuo striding towards her with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows. Ye Fuxun happily held up her skirt and ran forward.
This time, Ji Yannuo was not startled. In the next moment, he stepped forward and flew towards Ye Fuxun. He quickly but gently and slowly pulled her into his arms: "Ah Xun, be careful!"
Ye Fuxun raised his face with joy and looked at Ji Yannuo as if he couldn't get enough: "Ayan, why are you here?"
She left home three days later than Ji Yannuo, and it was inconvenient to travel quickly. She originally thought it would take a long time to catch up with Ji Yannuo.
But she never thought that Ji Yannuo would come looking for her just three days after leaving home.
"Fifth brother Fei Ge sent a letter to tell me that you have come to the East China Sea," Ji Yannuo looked at Ye Fulun intently, as if he couldn't move his eyes away as if he missed him terribly, "I have been stationed in Zhending City in the past few days to investigate the case.
I just rushed over to pick you up."
"Ah Xun, why did you come to the East China Sea?" Before leaving, Ah Xun had regretted that she would not be able to go with him on errands because of her pregnancy, but she suddenly followed him, which made Ji Yannuo worried.
Ye Fuxun just smiled warmly and reached out to touch Ji Yannuo's handsome face: "I just miss you, I miss you so much."
King Qin and Princess Qin came out at this time. When they saw Ji Yannuo, they were stunned for a moment, then they realized what they were doing and stepped forward to say hello.
Princess Qin looked at Ye Fuxun and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with envy, thinking to herself that if King Qin could treat her like the Crown Prince and Concubine Ye, then she would be satisfied.
What a pity - She quietly glanced at the deserted King of Qin, feeling as if she didn't know when the end would come.
"Thank you to fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law for taking care of Ah Xun all the way." Ji Yannuo said, holding Ye Fuxun's hand.
King Qin smiled slightly and said: "Sixth brother, there is no need to be polite, we are all members of our own family."
He then succinctly told Ji Yannuo the situation of the earlier interrogation of the woman. Ji Yannuo had been rushing here and had only heard the news at this time. When he heard the words, his eyes narrowed: "You can get the secret letter.
Got it?"
King Qin nodded and the two looked at each other. Ji Yannuo patted Ye Fuxun's hand and said, "I will discuss matters with fifth brother first."
Ji Yannuo and King Qin went to the study to discuss matters, while Ye Fuxun and Princess Qin took a walk together, and then went back to their rooms to freshen up and rest.
The decoration and furnishings of every house in the Ye Mansion are very similar. Ye Fuxun feels as if he is living at home, comfortable and at ease.
She leaned on the bed and waited for Ji Yannuo. After waiting and waiting, she fell asleep in a daze.
Now I am getting more and more sleepy. After taking a nap, I heard the sound of Ji Yannuo coming back to wash up.
"Did I wake you up?" Ji Yannuo got on the bed, held Ye Fuxun in his arms and looked at her.
Ye Fuxun opened his eyes in confusion, shook his head and said, "I woke up."
"I heard from Fifth Brother that Ah Xun came to the East China Sea on the orders of the Queen Mother?"
Ye Fuxun yawned, wrinkled his nose and said with a smile: "It is indeed the Queen Mother's decree, but it was given by the Queen Mother to make it easier for me to go out." There was a question mark in Ji Yannuo's eyes.
"Actually, I had a nightmare a few days ago, dreaming that you needed my help in the East China Sea..." Ye Fuxun smiled guiltily, "So I went to the palace to ask for the Queen Mother's decree, and followed me all the way.
"
Ji Yannuo couldn't laugh or cry: "That was just a dream."
Ah Xun is pregnant after all. How can he feel at ease when going out alone? Ye Fuxun shook his head very seriously and said: "Don't underestimate a dream. Maybe it is a hint given to us by God."
She tugged at Ji Yannuo's clothes, "Master, you won't be angry with me, will you?"
"When have I ever been angry with you?" Ji Yannuo felt heartwarming and worried when he heard Ye Fuxun put him in his heart like this. He just pinched the tip of Ye Fuxun's nose and said, "If something like this happens next time,
You should send me a message first, and I will find a way to pick you up."
"I understand!" Ye Fuxun raised his hand in an unusually obedient manner and agreed readily.
"By the way, Master, what did the secret letter say?"
Ji Yannuo's eyes narrowed: "Master Lu did find some clues in the East China Sea during this trip. He found that there seemed to be signs of private iron mining near Jiang'an Town.
However, careful investigation encountered many obstacles. I wanted to go back to the capital to meet the Holy Spirit before making arrangements, but I didn't expect that I was ambushed and killed when I passed by Zhending City."
"Jiang'an Town?" Ji Yannuo took out a map from the table on one side and pointed it to Ye Fulun: "This is Jiang'an Town, about three or four days' drive from us."
"Then let's go to Jiang'an Town tomorrow?" Ye Fuxun looked at the map and pointed to a town next to Jiang'an Town.
"The location of the silver mine that my brother gave me is right here, Cuiping Town. How about we go to Cuiping Town to settle down first, and then check out the situation in Jiang'an Town?"
The next day, everyone got up and continued on their way.
Ji Yannuo still had endless official documents to deal with, while Ye Fulun was sitting in the carriage thinking about her mission.
"Xiaojiu, has the system task been completed?" According to Jiujiu's previous prompt, the task was to ask her to come to the East China Sea to find Ji Yannuo. Now that he has been found, why hasn't Jiujiu reported the completion of the task?
Jiujiu immediately responded: "Host, the progress bar of the task has only reached 30%."
It clicked and knocked randomly, and then said, "This task has two new branch tasks."
"What is it?" Ye Fuxun frowned.
Jiujiu said: "First, help the prince to find out about the private mining of iron ore; second, help the princess of Qin find out why the king of Qin doesn't like her."
"What, what?" Ye Fuxun couldn't help but opened his eyes.
"What's wrong with Ah Xun?" Ji Yannuo, who was sitting next to her and reading official documents, hurriedly asked.
"It's okay." Ye Fuxun pushed the soft pillow behind him, "Ayan, please continue reading the official document. I'll keep my eyes open for a while."
She quickly closed her eyes again. The first branch task was still normal. She believed that with Ji Yannuo's ability, if he really wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter of private iron ore mining, he would be able to get to the bottom of it.
But what about the second branch task? Doesn’t King Qin like Princess Qin?
