Chapter 116 Celebrate in Advance
Chapter 116 Celebrate in Advance
Prince An said, "Not yet. The most dangerous place is the safest place."
Wang Jingshan nodded.
It was getting dark, and the three of them walked back together.
When I arrived at the Xu Mansion, as soon as I entered, I saw Xu Huaishui and Mrs. Xu pacing back and forth at the door.
"You are finally back."
Mrs. Xu said this, and only then did Xu Huaishui turn around and see that the three of them had returned. The shock in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
With a smile on his face, he said, "I'm glad you're back. I saw that you hadn't come back yet, so I went to look for you."
Prince An said, "Thank you for your help."
Xu Huaishui said, "I don't deserve it."
The group walked towards the mansion.
Xu Huaishui said, "Your Highness, have you prepared some food for us to drink together today?"
Prince An said expressionlessly: "No, you are tired today so you can use it in your room."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Huaishui to say anything, the three of them walked towards the yard where they lived.
As soon as Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan sat down, the maid came in with food.
Jin Yuyao looked at the dishes on the table. Today's dishes were much better than the previous two days.
Wang Jingshan quipped, "It must be to celebrate in advance."
Jin Yuyao asked doubtfully, "What are you celebrating in advance?"
Wang Jingshan said: "Prince An was assassinated today."
Jin Yuyao looked at Wang Jingshan in shock.
Wang Jingshan comforted him, "It's okay. Fortunately, Zhan Feng is here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Jin Yuyao said, "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I will tell you an even more shocking news."
Wang Jingshan became interested: "What's the matter?"
Jin Yuyao started eating: "Eat quickly, I'll tell you later."
Wang Jingshan and Jin Yuyao had dinner.
The two of them did not dare to delay for a moment and came to Prince An's room.
Jin Yuyao said anxiously, "Prince An, I have something very important to tell you."
Prince An looked at Jin Yuyao's cautious expression and said, "Zhan Feng, go out and watch and don't let anyone get close."
"Yes"
Prince An asked, "What is it?"
Jin Yuyao said, "Today I met Xu Huaishui's son Xu Cong in the garden behind. He told me that he still had plenty of food and gold at home."
Prince An and Wang Jingshan were shocked and asked, "Did the child say that himself?"
Jin Yuyao nodded.
Wang Jingshan said with a bit of disbelief: "That kid is not lying, is he?"
Jin Yuyao said, "I don't think so."
All three of them were silent for a moment.
Jin Yuyao said, "From what I heard from the child, it must be a lot. I'm afraid it's hard for us to imagine."
She looked at Prince An's face, which was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out.
Jin Yuyao thought that Prince An was a prince, and if food and money were involved, it might be related to the fight for the throne.
What’s important is that Xu Huaishui is King Jing’s brother-in-law. Although he is not a real brother-in-law, this relationship makes him even more worried.
Jin Yuyao saw Prince An lost in thought and pulled Wang Jingshan out.
Wang Jingshan returned to the room and asked, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness? Why didn't you react when you heard that Xu Huaishui should have a lot of food and gold?"
Jin Yuyao said: "Prince An does not show his emotions, so don't worry. Everyone has their own considerations."
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Jin Yuyao got up early and began to develop medicine that could kill locusts.
Because of what happened to Prince An yesterday, Wang Jingshan was still worried about Jin Yuyao being around.
Just when I was about to stay, Prince An arrived.
"Jingshan, come with me."
Wang Jingshan looked at Jin Yuyao with some embarrassment.
Jin Yuyao said, "You go first. I probably won't go out today, so you can go without worry."
Only then did Wang Jingshan follow Prince An out.
When he reached the door, he turned back and reminded her: "Remember, don't go out. It's dangerous."
Jin Yuyao looked up at Wang Jingshan with a bit of impatience and said, "I know. I'll be careful. You're really being a bit nagging now."
Jin Yuyao had never said this to herself before. Although Wang Jingshan was a little sad, he still felt sweet in his heart. Yuyao had been too polite to him before, and they didn't seem like a couple at all. This was the first time they were so lively.
Prince An was already shouting in the courtyard: "Jingshan."
"Hey, I'm coming."
Wang Jingshan turned around and ran out.
Jin Yuyao couldn't help laughing when she saw Wang Jingshan running away with a red face.
Xu Huaishui's yard was not so relaxed. After returning last night, his heart was in turmoil when he saw Prince An coming back, but he still endured it and watched Prince An and others return to the yard.
He called Master Wang to go to the study without even having dinner.
Xu Huaishui looked at Master Wang viciously: "How did you do it? Didn't you say it was foolproof? Now everyone has returned intact."
After saying this, he was so angry that he took the inkstone and threw it at Master Wang.
Master Wang dodged and said calmly, "Master, don't worry."
Xu Huaishui glared at me: "How can I not be anxious about that? Tell me how you arranged it?"
The master said: "At the beginning, when a man was bullying a woman, Prince An happened to pass by. Prince An heroically saved the beauty and was not deceived. He did not let the woman get close to him.
One assassin's attempt also failed, but he had a very powerful secret guard, and just when he was about to succeed, the secret guard appeared."
Xu Huaishui said, "Why don't you quickly come up with a foolproof plan?"
Master Wang said calmly, "Master, don't worry. Prince An is no ordinary man for surviving with a cannibalistic harem. We must take a long-term view and not act hastily."
Xu Huaishui rubbed his frown and said, "How can I not be anxious? So much food needs to be shipped out quickly. They can't ship it out here at all."
Mr. Wang asked, "What is Master An Wang doing with that woman?"
Xu Huaishui sighed and said, "I asked my wife to investigate. That woman was very cunning and didn't say anything at all. Why do you feel that there is something wrong with her?"
Master Wang said, "Why would Prince An come here and fight an unprepared battle? That woman must be useful to him. If not, we can..."
The two looked at each other tacitly.
After lunch in the afternoon, Jin Yuyao made a bottle of potion. The grasshoppers that Wang Jingshan brought back that day were already dead, so she had to go to the fields to get the living ones.
Jin Yuyao stood up, took the potion and walked out, having long forgotten what Wang Jingshan had said not to let him go out.
Even if I remembered Jin Yuyao, I would still go. There is nothing at home, so it is useless to work in isolation.
Jin Yuyao left the city alone and came to the fields outside the city where there were still some crops.
The sun was still a little hot at this time, so Jin Yuyao wore a homemade sun hat.
Find an area with a lot of grasshoppers, take out some diluted solution and pour it on the ground and crops.
Jin Yuyao waited under a tree by the roadside for a while and went over to see if it would be of any use.
