Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"Ah." Lu Fanghai sighed and said:

"The Empress Dowager Rong, who had raised Prince Ning, went to the garrison to meet Prince Ning and begged him to spare the emperor's life because of her careful care for him."

"King Ning doesn't want to bear the eternal infamy of being an unfilial and unrighteous person. Now he is in a dilemma and has a hard time taking every step."

"This Queen Mother Rong is really..." It is rare for a woman to have the courage to make such a decision and implement it under tremendous pressure.

Du Wenxiu didn't know which word could describe her.

"A hero among women."

Lu Fanghai nodded: "Now the emperor is not as panicked as before, and has begun to arrest people everywhere in the capital. Those who are suspected to be Ning Wang's accomplices, regardless of whether they are or not, are all thrown into the Heavenly Prison."

Du Wenxiu frowned slightly: "Then the capital is in chaos now, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Fanghai also frowned:

"The emperor favors an old eunuch named Tang Ren. This man...is moody and is good at currying favor with the emperor. It is said that he has some unknown habits and is very perverted. Anyone who falls into his hands will not survive more than three days..."

When he first came here, Lu Fanghai praised the emperor for his wisdom, but after just a few years, he had become like this.

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh.

"Is Prince Ning going back home?" Du Wenxiu asked doubtfully.

As soon as I said it, I felt something was wrong.

Since ancient times, anyone who fights for the throne has no way back once the arrow has been shot.

You've revealed all your cards, and then you let people cry a little and then go back. Aren't you just waiting to be slaughtered?

If Prince Ning has such plans, he should let Lu Fanghai come back as soon as possible. At worst, the whole family can move to a place where no one knows them and live in anonymity for the rest of their lives.

"How is that possible? But if Prince Ning wants to avoid criticism and ascend the throne smoothly, he must come up with a foolproof plan."

Lu Fanghai shook his head, his teeth restless in his mouth, biting and rubbing the flesh inside his cheeks, as if he could come up with a solution this way.

"Have you ever gone into the capital to gather information?" Du Wenxiu asked.

"Yes, I have been in there a few times, but since that eunuch Tang Ren started arresting people, everyone in the capital has been feeling insecure, and even many shops have been closed."

Du Wenxiu hesitated, not knowing whether he should mention this matter to him.

"Why, Xiuniang, what do you want to do in the capital? If it's a business matter, just go find Chi Linghua. His family also has a business in the capital."

Seeing that she seemed very hesitant, Lu Fanghai asked.

Time was running out and she didn't have much time to worry about it, so Du Wenxiu made a decision soon.

"It's only been a short time, and you've already forgotten. Didn't Yulan just come to the capital a while ago? Didn't you remember that Bi Fengyou gave her to a eunuch?"

After her reminder, Lu Fanghai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he went up to hug Du Wenxiu and kissed her again and again.

"Haha, my good wife is indeed my lucky star. Next time I go to Beijing, I will try to find out the news about Sister Yulan."

"I had been following the prince's arrangements, but I didn't expect it for a moment."

"Even if Yulan is not with Eunuch Tang, there must be a way to find out some information. For us, that is very important."

Lu Fanghai couldn't help but burst into laughter, but Du Wenxiu looked a little gloomy.

"I don't know how she is doing in the capital. I heard that when eunuchs are missing something, their thoughts become different from those of ordinary people."

"She was sent to do that kind of thing again. I don't know what her future holds. I'm afraid she..."

Lu Fanghai was silent for a long time before he put his arm around her shoulders and said:

"Don't worry, I will find out her whereabouts. No matter whether she is dead or alive, I will send someone to bring you a message."

Du Wenxiu choked up and said "hmm", then saw Lu Fanghai stand up and leave.

He hurried to the kitchen to find A'luo, saw how many pancakes had been baked, and gave them to him while they were still hot.

Hearing that he was leaving, A Luo wrapped the baked pancake and took out his water bag and filled it with boiling hot water.

"You're in such a hurry and you have to suffer on the road. Next time, why not take a few more days off and come home to rest?"

Because they were in the courtyard, Lu Fanghai was afraid of disturbing others, so he lowered his voice and laughed:

"Once the situation in the capital is settled, I will go home and rest every day. Aunt, don't worry. I am afraid I will make great achievements when I go back this time."

Du Wenxiu looked worried as she helped him straighten his clothes and told him, "Your family doesn't expect any reward from you. Just take good care of yourself and don't take any risks."

Lu Fanghai responded repeatedly, and regardless of A'luo being beside him, he went forward and hugged Du Wenxiu, which made A'luo so embarrassed that he quickly turned his head away.

Lu Fanghai didn't say much. He turned around and jumped onto the courtyard wall. He looked around and jumped into the dark night without a sound.

"It's so late, and it's troublesome for Auntie to get up and prepare food." Du Wenxiu thanked A Luo in a gentle voice.

Ah Luo said angrily, "We are all family, why are you saying these nonsense? It's cold at night, go back and rest."

Du Wenxiu then turned around, but he didn't know whether Yue Niang was asleep or not. The bed in the east wing was still too crowded for three people, so he thought of going over to call her.

A'Luo pushed him to the main room again, and told him to just go back and call.

As expected, when A'luo returned, Yue Niang put on her clothes and came out of the east wing and entered the main room.

He bolted the door, pulled his clothes tightly with both hands, and ran to the brazier to warm himself by the fire.

"It's only a few steps, how can you be so frozen?" Du Wenxiu laughed as she saw that she was making so many small movements.

Yue Niang glanced at her and said, "You two don't feel cold while you are talking to each other, but my sister and I are standing by the window looking at what is going on outside, and we are freezing."

Du Wenxiu laughed and pointed at her, saying, "You two are just naughty. Auntie just went out to cook and you two just went to sleep. But you wanted to watch the fun, so you deserve to be frozen."

Yue Niang came over with some clothes and pushed Du Wenxiu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, in.

"I originally thought that Brother Fang Hai would stay at home to celebrate the New Year before leaving. A Luo was afraid that he would be hungry, so he came out to cook for him."

"After a while, he came over and said he wanted to prepare some dry food for him and was leaving immediately."

"My sister and I couldn't sleep either, so we kept an eye on what was going on outside, thinking that if you started crying because you couldn't bear to leave your husband, we would be able to come out and persuade you in time."

Hearing her words becoming more and more outrageous, Du Wenxiu turned over and grabbed her arm fiercely: "I told you to stop talking nonsense."

"Oh, stop it, be careful not to kick your stomach." Yue Niang laughed grimly and hurried to stop her.

"Say whatever you are told to say. We didn't mention Young Master Chi because we were afraid you would be sad. We wondered if he had gone home and asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage to you."

Du Wenxiu was so ashamed and angry that he retaliated against the man in his own way.

Sure enough, Yue Niang was silent for a while.

Just when Du Wenxiu thought he had touched her sore spot and was secretly sad and thinking about apologizing.

Yue Niang sighed faintly, "I'm afraid it's still somewhat believable to go home for a blind date."

Du Wenxiu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and pushed Yue Niang and said:

"You seem to have the temperament of a man, much more generous than the average young lady."

"You just found out about this? Tsk, I treated you like a sister." Yue Niang said disdainfully.
