After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

Because Chen Dongyue volunteered, Gao Shuwan let her own team go.

The weather was still hot at this time, and Kong Jie also wanted to take care of Gao Shuwan who was afraid of heat due to pregnancy, so he strongly asked her to take turns on duty at the hours of Xu and Hai.

Two hours, four hours of running, is already very tiring for an ordinary person.

What's more, Gao Shuwan is a pregnant woman.

But Gao Shuwan said nonchalantly: "It's just two hours, it's really nothing.

When we were escorting goods in the past, we basically had to walk for five or six hours every day, and sometimes we had to walk for a whole day and night.

Two hours... just a walk."

At this time, Chen Dongyue admired Gao Touer from the bottom of her heart.

But she had a small question, "Can we, the patrol inspector, ride on horses?"

It's not that she can't endure hardship.

It’s just that she doesn’t particularly want to endure some hardships that she can avoid.

Gao Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "The government didn't say no."

"Then...Gaotou'er, why don't you ride a horse?" Chen Dongyue asked again.

"......I didn't expect that."

After all, on weekdays, when the people from the Inspection Office go out, they come and go on foot unless it is urgent.

So when it comes to patrolling the streets, Gao Shuwan and Kong Jie's first reaction is to take a stroll.

They are all honest people. They may have some lazy thoughts in their minds, but they are certainly not like Chen Dongyue who, when encountering problems, would first think about how to be lazy.

The whole person is both hardworking and lazy.

She doesn't have such a split personality.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Chen Dongyue could only slowly say: "How about... we ride a horse or something during our shifts?"

"Leader, please ride your horse," Gao Shuwan said, "Didn't you say you were going to bring food to the people?

When the time comes, let the horses carry food, and then the leader will ride on horseback. Otherwise, we won’t have enough horses in the government office.”

"That's fine."

Afterwards, the two discussed some of the routes and small details that would be inspected.

More than half an hour later, Chen Dongyue walked out of the inspection office.

but.

This street kid still hasn't returned to the palace.

She turned around and went to the South City Gate.

Just now she heard that all the people from Prince Qi's Mansion at the South City Gate had retreated, so the only ones watching on the city wall were Eunuch Tang and Prince Yong'an.

Chen Dongyue thought that since it was still early for her patrol, she might as well go to the South City Gate first and deliver a message.

After all, Liudao Temple is right next to the South City Gate.

Although there is basically no incense, and the sense of existence is also negative, but...

Anyway, being idle is nothing but idleness!

.............

The focus of Liaocheng's defense now is still on the north gate which is closer to Qizhou and the capital.

A few hundred miles outside the South City Gate, all of it is Liaozhou Prefecture’s own territory.

Therefore, there will basically be no situation where other princes suddenly appear and poke the door.

The current situation in the south of the city is indeed easier than that in the north.

Therefore, the generals guarding the South City Gate were indeed...Eunuch Tang and Prince Yong'an, who were randomly appointed.

Just listen to the names of these two men, neither of them has ever really fought in a war.

The reason why these two can serve as goalkeepers is 100% because of their identities.

It has nothing to do with their abilities.

But to be honest, there are not enough people in the city now.

Being able to temporarily capture the Prince of Yong'an and send him into exile could be considered as Prince Kang's heroic act of sacrificing his son.

Fortunately, he has three sons and even more grandchildren...so the psychological burden of sacrificing his sons is not that heavy.

When Chen Dongyue arrived at the bottom of the city wall, he saw that the team was indeed a ragtag army.

Among the defenders, there were probably two to three hundred shirtless strongmen. It was obvious without asking that these people were from Prince Kang's palace.

There were also one or two hundred well-equipped and serious-looking guards, who obviously came from the capital.

Chen Dongyue couldn't tell what department these guards belonged to.

Anyway, looking at the attire, it is quite formal.

I just wonder if they will get heatstroke if they dress like this.

The officers and soldiers under the city wall saw Chen Dongyue riding a donkey and coming slowly.

The city guards, not knowing what was going on, stepped forward and shouted to stop them.

Fortunately, all the strong men in Prince Kang’s palace knew Chen Dongyue.

After they explained everything to the city guards, Chen Dongyue was allowed to go up to the city gate tower.

Yes, the discipline of the defenders of Liaocheng is so lax.

Chen Dongyue felt that according to the military discipline and regulations, whether Ji Chongning's rebellion could succeed and whether everyone would live or die really depended on luck.

If anything could be accomplished with such lax organizational discipline...it must be because Ji Chongning's father, mother, grandparents, worked so hard to help him.

Soon, Chen Dongyue reached the city gate.

It was mid-afternoon.

There were not many officers and soldiers on the city wall.

Chen Dongyue looked around and saw that there were probably only about fifty or sixty people.

However, Eunuch Tang and the Prince of Yong'an who was sent temporarily were both there.

The two were now sitting in the shadows beside the tower's observation deck.

There was also a large wooden barrel in front of each person.

It seems that there should have been a lot of ice cubes in the wooden barrel before.

But it was already afternoon, and the large bucket of ice had all melted into water.

At this time, Prince Yong'an and Eunuch Tang were so excited that their souls were about to evaporate.

Seeing Chen Dongyue coming, Eunuch Tang did not move.

Prince Yong'an stood up and called out to Chen Dongyue, "Why are you here, Director Chen? Did something happen in the north of the city? Come and stand over here. It's a little cooler here."

"Hey, thank you, Prince." Chen Dongyue responded and walked behind the two of them.

It wasn't that she wanted to stay behind them, but the truth was that, except for a small patch of shade behind the two of them, the rest of the city wall was under direct sunlight.

It's quite hot indeed.

Chen Dongyue had just stood still when she saw Eunuch Tang, with his head hung, turn around and look at her.

But before Eunuch Tang could speak, Chen Dongyue couldn't help but exclaimed: "Eunuch Tang, what's wrong with you?!"

Is this guy sunburned?!

My face is dripping down...

Eunuch Tang's face was not very good to begin with, and he became even more unhappy after hearing Chen Dongyue's question, "Why do you care about me? I'm asking you, is there any news about the emperor?"

Oh, little eunuch, you are so rude!

Chen Dongyue got angry for a moment.

Then she replied in a friendly voice: "The emperor has woken up, and then...Eunuch, do you want to hear good news or bad news?"

"Good news." Eunuch Tang answered without thinking.

So Chen Dongyue replied: "The good news is that the emperor may be able to speak because he was greatly stimulated by Doctor Yao."

"Is this good news?!" Eunuch Tang frowned.

No...dead, but not completely dead.

Is being alive, but not fully alive, good news? !

Being able to speak now, how is that good news?

Chen Dongyue's eyelids twitched a few times, and then asked: "Eunuch Tang, let's just say... do you have any follow-up preparations and expectations for your plan to steal the emperor? What do we hope the emperor will do?"

Eunuch Tang, whose face seemed to be melting, did not reply.

He first glanced at Prince Yong'an.

After getting the nod of approval from Prince Yong'an, Eunuch Tang said, "Originally, we knew about this matter. But now that things have developed to this point, we are a little unsure."

"Please be kind enough, Eunuch Tang, to tell us what's going on." Chen Dongyue asked again.

Eunuch Tang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, the Empress Dowager was planning to let the Emperor die.

But we can't blame the Grand Empress Dowager for this. After all, even if the Grand Empress Dowager didn't take action, Concubine Shu would have already taken action.

But I don't know whether it was the chronic poison given by Concubine Shu that helped the Emperor to sober up, or whether it was the wine given by the Empress Dowager that helped to detoxify the medicine given by Concubine Shu.

In a word, the emperor did not die.

Originally, the Empress Dowager said, since the Emperor hasn't passed away yet, then it doesn't matter, we can make plans later.

But more than a month had passed, and seeing the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Ning lobbying among the court officials, it seemed that they were ready to ascend the throne.

Master Wen didn't make any significant moves, so the Empress Dowager became anxious.

The Empress Dowager always felt that it was her own mistake that she failed to save the former crown prince.

All her obsession is now placed on Master Wen.

But the Empress Dowager could not think of any particularly effective way to restrain the two princes.

So she got anxious and stole the emperor who had failed to die.

Whether this is right or wrong is not for us to comment on, anyway... this is probably the case."
