At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Tinghai and He Bo's carriage was in the front. Unexpectedly, some villagers had received the news and came to see them off in advance in their ox carts on the road to Kangzhuang Town.

"The Princess and Lord Yu wanted to leave without informing us, so we had no choice but to leave before we were too late."

Yu Yunxin and Yu Tinghai got off the carriage and took a look. Most of them were people from Shangyang County, and some were from Wangshan County.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to see me off." Yu Tinghai and Yu Yunxin made a gesture of thanks to everyone and signaled everyone to go back.

The people originally wanted to send some agricultural products, but the princess had tens of thousands of acres of tea plantations and fields in the two counties and had no shortage of these things. Now the people in the two counties can not only eat and dress well, but many people have stable jobs. In addition to making popcorn in the tea garden, there are also wine shops, cloth shops, dyeing shops and papermaking workshops. There are even many shops opened in Kangzhuang Town.

The villagers not only raised ducks, geese, rabbits and sheep, but also sold their meat and fur for money. They could also go to the mountains to pick wild mushrooms, which could bring a lot of money as long as they were identified as non-toxic. They were very grateful to Yu Yunxin, so they saw her off here.

After Yu Yunxin got into the carriage, she waved goodbye to everyone. The carriage raised a cloud of dust and quickly disappeared on the farewell road.

“The Princess and Lord Yu are the saviors sent by the Emperor to save our Nanling County. We didn’t expect that we would be able to live a good life in just over a year. So we have to thank the Emperor.” Boss Zhao and a few of his men in the crowd cheered.

Everyone knelt down towards the direction of the capital to thank Emperor Cheng.

Several secret agents around Emperor Cheng heard what happened and reported it to Emperor Cheng.

In a carriage outside Nanling City.

"Princess, the headdress you are wearing is made of crystal, isn't it? It's very pretty!" Pang Jinhua said as she looked at Yu Yunxin, who had a cute face, in the carriage: "It's really pleasing to the eyes to have a little fairy like you accompany me along the way. This pink crystal really matches you!"

"Mrs. Mu, you are also very elegant. Why do you like jewelry so much?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"It's my elder sister who has bullied me since I was a child. After she married into the Anping Marquis' Mansion, she likes to show off in front of me. So I want to use the jewelry she doesn't have to piss her off to death. To be honest, it really works." Pang Jinhua smiled.

"Although I didn't marry as well as she did, I am still a general's wife. Although she is the mistress of the marquis's mansion, after I came to Nanchuan City, I realized that she has not lived as comfortably as I, the general's wife, over the years." Pang Jinhua smiled.

"Our old Mu even found out that her son came here. The princess made me laugh to death. The two dandy princes would spend more than ten days visiting brothels in each city they passed through." Pang Jinhua laughed and said, "Once they left the city, the two princes became unrestrained without the suppression of the Marquis' Mansion."

Yu Yunxin smiled and glanced at Pang Jinhua and said, "Madam Mu, are you interested in cooperating with me in the jewelry store? You can sell or exchange the jewelry you bought in the jewelry store."

"Princess, what you said is true. Okay, I can take out all my collections. I will be satisfied if I can stay in the jewelry building for four hours a day." Pang Jinhua immediately thought of looking at the rows of jewelry and said happily.

"Mrs. Mu, are you willing to give away the treasures in your collection?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Why would I be reluctant to part with it? Wouldn't it be better if the price could go up a few cents compared to before I bought it? I can save some money for my son He'er." Pang Jinhua said.

Along the way, Yu Yunxin kept changing her jewelry. Madam Mu admired Yu Yunxin's various jewelry together. Even the sets given by the Lord of the Underworld opened her eyes. She wanted to give a few sets of jewelry to Pang Jinhua, but she only chose two jade necklaces.

"I already like the agate bracelets you gave me last time, Princess. Now I know how to choose things that are suitable for me."

"Princess, I've looked at these jewelry and found that the crystals and jades are most suitable for you." She picked out a few pieces and started to dress up Yu Yunxin. She explained in detail what kind of jewelry could match with what clothes.

I have to say that she is worthy of being a woman who can give birth to such an artistically talented son.

"Madam Mu, the matching you mentioned is very good! I think when you go to the jewelry store, you can help those ladies who don't know how to match clothes to match clothes!" Yu Yunxin was very satisfied with Madam Mu's matching.

The time passed quickly with Madam Mu's company along the way. Yu Tinghai was not in such a hurry to return to Beijing this time. He also inquired about a lot of local customs and voices along the way and secretly paid attention to them.

After more than twenty days, they arrived ten miles away from Canglan City, which is the junction of three states. They can go to Yangzhou in the south, and go north all the way through Liucheng in Chengzhou to reach the capital directly.

Yu Tinghai came outside the carriage and said, "Madam Mu and Master Ling should go to the next Chengzhou City and wait for us there. If we ride fast, we will arrive in two hours. I am going to Lancang City to visit a good friend."

Madam Mu nodded without saying anything when she heard this and asked, "How far is this place from the capital?"

The driver immediately replied: "If we go fast, we can reach the capital in five days."

"Okay! Lord Yu, we will wait for the princess in Chengzhou." Madam Mu didn't say anything. She originally wanted to get off the carriage, but Yu Yunxin didn't let her get off and got off the carriage with Qiu Shuang.

"Sister Princess Xin, see you tomorrow." Mu Yihe said as he got off the carriage.

Yu Yunxin nodded: "General Mu, see you tomorrow."

After getting on another carriage and changing into a set of men's clothes with Qiu Shuang, they got on the horse and drove towards Canglan City in coarse cloth clothes. They arrived outside the city gate.

Yu Tinghai glanced at Yunshan and Yanluo who were behind Yu Yunxin and asked, "Xin'er, are the two behind you reliable?"

Yu Tinghai nodded and went into the city and found a bustling restaurant.

Sat in the lobby and ordered some food and wine.

Yu Yunxin asked, "Dad, what are you doing in this restaurant?"

"Get information." Yu Tinghai said, "It's easiest to get information from restaurants, teahouses, and human traffickers."

Yu Tinghai only picked up a few pieces of food and ate while watching. If only Qionglou was here, she would have good hearing.

At this time, the waiter brought a dish and was about to retreat when Yu Tinghai stopped him, took out a hundred coins and asked, "Waiter, has anything happened in Canglan City these days?"

The waiter first noticed that Yu Tinghai and Yu Yunxin were dressed like businessmen. He had worked in the restaurant for many years and was very good at observing people's expressions. He asked, "How many of you would like to come to Canglan City to do business?"

Yu Tinghai nodded and patted the wine pot, saying: "Yes, we are grain merchants, and our family owns ten thousand acres of farmland."

The waiter understood Yu Tinghai's intention and smiled, saying softly, "Prince Yi's Mansion is collecting grain these days. You can try your luck. Maybe the palace will collect grain again."

After the waiter finished speaking, he weighed a copper coin in his hand and turned away.

"Father, why is Prince Yi's Mansion collecting grain?" Yu Yunxin asked puzzledly.

"I don't know either, but we can go and find out." Yu Tinghai said as he ate some food.

Everyone started eating as well and left only after they were full. The waiter came over and started to clear the table. He knew that this guest did not drink any wine so he secretly poured the wine in the jug into the jug he had prepared. This is the advantage that a waiter can get in a restaurant. The guests can take the unfinished wine home and the shopkeeper will turn a blind eye to it.

However, many guests will not waste wine and will not leave it in the wine jug. Yu Tinghai also knows this. All the wine he ordered is not prepared for himself. It is worth it to drink this little wine just to get the information first.

In the deserted alley, Yu Tinghai finally spoke out what Emperor Cheng had told him: "Canglan City is an important transportation hub between the north and the south. It is also the fief of Prince Yi. Prince Yi is Emperor Cheng's half-brother. Prince Yi has been smart since he was young, but he was silenced while helping the emperor to seize the throne. Therefore, he was also appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the allocation of troops and grain between the north and the south. He is also the person the emperor trusts the most. But half a month ago, the emperor discovered that Prince Yi had a secret code in his letter, which was a code for asking for help."

The people of Dacheng all knew that Prince Yi was a mute, but the codeword for asking for help was strange? Although Canglan City was a major thoroughfare between the north and the south and a big city, foreign tribes could not attack here, so what danger could there be?

"The emperor also found it strange so he asked me to investigate secretly." Yu Tinghai said, looking at the quiet alley without saying another word.

"It's just a code word for help. Could it be that Prince Yi sent it to the wrong person?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"No way. Although Prince Yi doesn't speak, his thoughts are the same as the emperor's. Why would he suddenly use this secret code after so many years?" Yu Tinghai touched his chin and said.

"Then can't we secretly check Prince Yi's Mansion at night?" Yanluo said.

"Let's split up! Xin'er, you and I will go to the palace to see if there is anything suspicious. Qiu Shuang, the three of you will go to the vicinity of Prince Yi's palace to see if there is anything suspicious." Yu Tinghai said as he brought Yu Yunxin to the outside of the palace.

Prince Yi's Mansion was very grand and heavily guarded. Not only were there soldiers guarding the entrance, but there were also archers. Anyone who dared to climb the wall and break into Prince Yi's Mansion would be shot to pieces.

"This palace is too strictly guarded!" Yu Yunxin said after taking a look at the palace.

"What are you looking at? Can you get closer to Prince Yi's Mansion?" A guard soldier saw Yu Yunxin looking at Prince Yi's Mansion and was about to walk over and said.

"Sir, this is my youngest son. I am a grain merchant from Jiangnan. I came to inquire whether the palace wants to collect grain." Yu Tinghai immediately walked up to the guard soldier and said.

"You can go to the back door to sell grain and find the housekeeper." the soldier replied.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Bing, for the reminder." Yu Tinghai said as he took Yu Yunxin to the backyard.

There were not many people in the backyard, and a few shopkeepers were walking out with bags of silver.

"Manager Li, I think we can ask the grain store to raise the price when we return to the grain point. I didn't expect that Prince Yi would take all the grain in my warehouse at once. I need to ask my boss to send more grain."

"Mine is also from Shopkeeper Xu. I guess your Qingfeng Grain Store has a lot of grain this year!"

"Not more than one thousand kilograms of food."

"I also have one thousand orders." The two shopkeepers talked to each other.

After listening to the conversation between the two shopkeepers, the father and daughter looked at each other and returned to an inn.

Now the plan to visit the palace at night has been cancelled. She can't let Yunshan and Yanluo become sieves.

But her five little ones can be used. Late at night, there are several carriages transporting food and fodder at the back door of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Yu Yunxin, dressed in black, restrained her breath, and hid in a tree with her little dog, watching the people below carrying bags of grain.

"Yunshan and Yanluo, where are you going with those grain carts? I'll go to Prince Yi's mansion alone to take a look." Yu Yunxin said to Yunshan and the other person behind her.

"Princess, Prince Yi's mansion is heavily guarded and difficult to break into." Yunshan replied immediately upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, my internal strength has increased a lot during this period. Even if I am discovered alone, I can still escape." Yu Yunxin said, and then she jumped directly from the tree to the roof of a corner of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Seeing this, Yunshan and Yanluo felt relieved and immediately followed the grain cart.

As soon as she reached the roof and a dark corner, a big hand grabbed her arm. Before she could react, she was held in his arms.

He whispered, "It's dangerous here, why are you here?"

This voice was exactly the voice of the Lord of the Underworld. Yu Yunxin wanted to open her mouth but she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Why are you here too?" Yu Yunxin asked the Lord of the Underworld.

"We found Xiliang's secret sentries in Puzhou and discovered that they were secretly transporting food and grass, so we found this place?" The Hades Lord glanced at Yu Yunxin and asked, "What about you?"

"Xiliang secret sentry?" she asked in surprise.

"That's right. There is Shura City in Xizhou and they have no way to come over from Xizhou. However, these Xiliang soldiers actually went around to the border between Puzhou and Xizhou." The Lord of the Underworld replied.

"Then these food supplies came from Canglan City?" Yu Yunxin said softly.

The Lord of the Underworld did not reply and made a soft gesture. The two of them moved very close to each other.

After the patrolling guards left, Yu Yunxin said, "My father received an order from the emperor, saying that Prince Yi sent a codeword to the emperor asking for help, and asked him to come here to investigate."

The Lord of the Underworld nodded and said, "I understand. You can go back and leave this matter to me."

"I won't!" As soon as he said this, the patrolling soldiers heard the noise and immediately rushed over here.

The Lord of the Underworld dodged and pulled Yu Yunxin to the foot of a rockery. The two of them leaned against each other tightly. When Yu Yunxin wanted to say something, the Lord of the Underworld raised his hand and covered her mouth.

I only heard two patrol soldiers say, "Tell me, what's wrong with our prince recently? Not only has the guards of Prince Yi's mansion been strengthened, but he also rarely goes out. In the past, our prince loved to go out hunting and fishing."

"Who knows? Maybe he's busy these days." another replied.

After the two left, Yu Yunxin thought about the rockery and didn't know what happened. It hit a stone and became loose.

As soon as he raised his head, he met the eyes of the Lord of the Underworld, which were as deep as the bottom of a lake.

"There is a secret passage behind this rockery, don't move." The Hades Lord said as he reached out his hand to Yu Yunxin's back and touched the loose gravel behind her.

Sure enough, by turning to the left, a hole appeared in the ground, which was big enough for one person to pass through.

The Lord of the Underworld said, "Follow me."

Yu Yunxin didn't think much about it. After the Lord of the Underworld moved away from her, she followed him into the passage.
