Ye Fuxun was a little worried. Others said that she didn't look fat at all during pregnancy, but when she disguised herself as a chubby girl this time, she actually found that her face was really rounder.
Ji Yannuo said: "Ah Xun's face is only as big as a palm, where is it round?"
Ye Fuxun pointed at his cheek and said: "Here, and here!"
Princess Qin chuckled: "How can this be round? This is a little girl who hasn't grown yet, and still has the tender flesh on her face from when she was a baby. She's so tender and nice to look at!"
"Princess Qin is right." Ji Yannuo agreed with a rare comment, which immediately gave Princess Qin the excitement of being named and praised by her father when she was a child: "My lord, come here and see if Concubine Ye is not showing off at all."
fat?"
King Qin, who stood aside and watched silently, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile on his face: "It is indeed."
Ye Fuxun felt a little embarrassed when everyone said this.
She only gained weight due to her self-pity. There is no way that she would not gain weight during pregnancy. As long as she controlled it well, she would be fine.
Then he quickly changed the topic: "How can we hide our identities when we travel together?" Princess Qin came up with an idea: "How about we pretend to be sisters?" Ye Fuxun nodded, thinking it was feasible.
Princess Qin added: "Then the prince and the prince will simply pretend to be brothers, and the four brothers and sisters will go to Zhending City to visit our relatives."
King Qin: "Am I the eldest brother?"
Ye Fuxun pulled Ji Yannuo: "I am the second brother, Princess Qin is the third sister, and I am the fourth sister."
Princess Qin happily walked to Ye Fulun: "Then we can ride in the carriage together when we go out this time. It's just and logical."
The prince could no longer restrict her from talking to Concubine Ye for an hour a day. When Ji Yannuo heard this, his black eyes narrowed.
Princess Qin couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw the prince's gloomy face. Wouldn't the prince not let her go with him?
Princess Qin looked at the prince and whispered: "If the fourth sister is tired, the third sister promises not to bother you. Moreover, even if we two sisters ride in a carriage together this way, we will never chat for more than an hour every day."
So, the prince is always satisfied? Ji Yannuo glanced at her, brushed his sleeves and said, "It's getting late, let's leave Cuiping Town under the cover of night."
The four of them quietly walked to the back door of the manor, and in the darkness they could vaguely see a large carriage parked.
Ji Yannuo carefully helped Ye Fuxun get on the carriage, and then boarded directly.
She turned to look at King Qin, who kindly explained: "We will act as brothers and sisters on this trip. It is easier to hide from others if we ride in the same carriage."
Princess Qin suddenly realized that she was the only one performing a one-man show just now. What did the prince mean by his inexplicable expression? It was incomprehensible.
Princess Qin got into the carriage and looked up to see Ji Yannuo holding a pillow for Ye Fulun's back: "It will take about half an hour to arrive at a village. We will stay in a villager's house tonight. We will officially hit the road tomorrow morning.
.”
After another two days, the four finally arrived at Zhending City in the afternoon. After finding an inn to stay, Ji Yannuo and King Qin left.
It wasn't until night that the two returned to the inn and brought back a man who had been knocked unconscious, which was Luo County Cheng.
After Luo Xian Cheng woke up, he looked at the four people he had never seen before in the room and shouted arrogantly: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Why don't you release me quickly?"
Ji Yannuo was impatient and kicked him: "Did you kill Lu Daoyuan?"
Luo Xiancheng's pupils shrank suddenly and he shouted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Who are you?"
Ji Yannuo casually raised Prince Yang's jade order: "Speak the truth."
When the Prime Minister of Luo County saw the Prince's Jade Order in Ji Yannuo's hand, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, kowtowing and rolling his eyes rapidly: "Your Highness, spare your life, I am a low-ranking official who has eyesight but does not recognize Mount Tai!"
It’s just that although Mr. Na Lu was assassinated in Zhending City, he has nothing to do with Xia Guan. Your Highness, please take a closer look!”
Ji Yannuo took a deep breath and turned to look at Ye Fuxun. Ye Fuxun nodded gently at him and said with his lips: "That's it."
"Prime Minister Luo County, I ask you once again, did you send someone to assassinate Lu Daoyuan?" Ji Yannuo put his hands behind his back and looked down at Prime Minister Luo County who was kneeling on the ground.
Prime Minister Luo County was about to retort, but suddenly he had the illusion that his throat was being restrained, and he opened his mouth uncontrollably: "The lower official sent someone to kill him."
He opened his eyes wide in fear, and Ji Yannuo sneered: "What was written in the secret letter Lu Daoyuan carried?"
"Master Lu found traces of illegal mining of iron ore near Luoshui Village under the jurisdiction of Zhending City, and wrote the matter in a secret letter."
Sure enough, it is in Zhending City.
Ji Yannuo's eyes flashed: "Is what he checked true?"
"...Yes." Prime Minister Luo County was extremely frightened at this moment.
He didn't know why he couldn't lie to deceive the prince, but every truth he said was his talisman!
With a distorted face, he grabbed his neck with his hands, as if he could control himself in this way.
Ji Yannuo looked at him coldly: "Who is the person who ordered the private mining of iron ore?"
Prime Minister Luo Xian pinched his neck hard: "I don't know, but I was coerced by others to let those people mine iron ore without reporting it..."
"Where are the mined iron ores sent?" Ji Yannuo continued to ask.
"Xiaoguan only knows that he will be sent to the outskirts of Haiyun City. I really don't know where he will be sent after the handover."
Ji Yannuo asked for more details, and when he saw that Luo Xiancheng really didn't know more about the situation, he knocked him out.
"Where is Haiyun City?" Ye Fuxun asked.
"Haiyun City is the core city of the East China Sea, where King Rui lives." Ji Yannuo looked at her and let out a long sigh.
The two looked at each other, and the suspicion they had made when they were in the capital now seemed more likely.
"Then what do we do next?"
Ji Yannuo told her: "Tomorrow morning, Fifth Brother and I will go explore Luoshui Village, which the Prime Minister of Luo County mentioned, and then we will go to Haiyun City."
"It's just that the Prime Minister of Luo County has revealed the news to us, and we have to find a way to silence him."
If the people behind the scenes knew that they had touched upon a place where iron ore was being mined privately, it would be extremely detrimental to their actions.
Ji Yannuo was ordered to come to the East China Sea to investigate, and the large force he originally brought was to settle in Zhending City to investigate the assassination of Lu Daoyuan.
But he doesn't have many people after all. If he really had a head-on confrontation with the other party, he would probably have very little chance of winning.
Ye Fuxun nodded: "I have a way."
After saying this, she walked towards the unconscious Prime Minister Luo, took out a bamboo tube from her sleeve, and fed Prime Minister Luo another Gu worm.
Ji Yannuo squatted beside her: "What is the use of this Gu worm?"
Just now, before he knocked out Luo Xian Cheng and brought him back, he fed Luo Xian Cheng the Truth Gu according to Ye Fuxun's request. Now that he saw Ye Fuxun feeding the Gu again, he was naturally curious.
