Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Your Highness, can you identify the mastermind behind the assassination of my husband that day?" Although it was a question, Lu Youqing's tone was clearly certain.

Qin Ke didn't want his wife to worry about him, especially when she was about to give birth. However, he could shut Han Qi's mouth, but he couldn't shut Captain Cao's mouth.

He didn't intend to keep it secret forever, he just wanted to at least prevent his wife from being frightened by this incident and having a miscarriage. He just didn't expect that his acting skills would be so poor in front of Lu Youqing, and Lu Youqing knew him so well.

Anything wrong with him would not escape her notice.

If it hadn't happened suddenly that night, she would have gone to investigate it the next day.

Jinyang was not surprised by her words. When she made an excuse to transfer Qin Ke away, he guessed what she was thinking. Or maybe she came here today specifically for a reason, perhaps wanting to explain the matter to her.

"You should know that since glass came out, many outsiders have suddenly come to Cangwu City, all to inquire about the news about glass." Jinyang's eyes were slightly cold and he spoke slowly.

Lu Youqing pondered for a moment, frowned slightly and asked, "But did someone from the capital take action?"

She had long known about the infiltration of outsiders into the city, and had asked Qin Ke to travel with bodyguards just in case.

You must know that many of the eldest princess's actions in Liangzhou are acts of treason and need to be kept secret. Since the eldest princess was conferred the title, she has been strictly controlling Liangzhou.

Everyone entering Liangzhou needs to register. Even when Yizhou was hit by a snowstorm and victims poured into the city, Lu Youqing would still send people to Yizhou to verify their registered information before allowing them to settle in Liangzhou.

From a certain perspective, the current Liangzhou governed by the eldest princess is like an extremely solid and airtight iron barrel.

Moreover, the city walls and other defensive fortifications have been reinforced with cement, which is sufficient to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

Who else but those people in the capital would dare to sneak into the eldest princess' fiefdom and covet the glass?

"The person who assassinated Qin Sinong has confessed. Don't worry. After what happened that day, I have taken advantage of the situation and wiped out all those who sneaked into Liangzhou. You can rest assured for the time being."

She did not take action against those people immediately, but just watched secretly until that day when they suddenly attacked Qin Ke. Cao Jingzhong gave a signal, and Jinyang took action directly, catching all of them in one fell swoop.

Whether it was the guy who sneaked into the glass factory instead of the logistics worker, or the middle-aged woman who lived in the alley...

Lu Youqing keenly noticed that Jinyang used the word "temporarily". Her eyelashes trembled and her voice became deeper: "Your Highness, is something going to happen? Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the others take action again?"

"Prince?" Jin Yang sneered and said sarcastically, "He is just a fool who was used by others to get ahead."

There was obvious contempt in her tone for the prince. She had fought with the prince many times when she was in the capital, so she knew very well what kind of person he was and what abilities he had.

"Could it be..."

Jin Yang nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Yes, it is my seventh brother who does not show his talents. Among the people sent by the crown prince this time, there are his people who are trying to fish in troubled waters."

Her good seventh brother had been lying in wait, watching her fight with the prince, and now he is the one who benefits.

This shows how deep and meticulous his mind is.

In addition, the biological mother of the seventh prince Zhao Yu was Concubine Yue. Concubine Yue’s status in the harem was second only to the queen, but she was much more favored than the queen.

In addition, his mother's family is prominent, he has the favored mother as a backing, and his grandfather is the powerful Minister of War in the court. I am afraid he is the one that Jinyang should be wary of.

"Now that the prince has suffered a defeat this time, will he be furious and make a big deal out of this?" Lu Youqing was a little worried.

"Yeah——"

While the two were talking, Yueya, who was held in Gu Lanxi's arms, suddenly woke up. She opened her dark eyes and stared at the stranger holding her without blinking.

The clenched little fist stretched out from the swaddling clothes and kept waving.

Gu Lanxi was startled as she didn't expect that she would wake up suddenly. She looked at Lu Youqing for help in a bewildered manner.

Lu Youqing never imagined that Gu Lanxi, who always looked so dignified, elegant, calm and generous on weekdays, would lose her composure like this because of a small baby.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little funny. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly: "Come, hand the child to me."

The tense, serious, heavy and depressing atmosphere that originally permeated the air seemed to gradually dissipate, replaced by a relaxed, joyful, warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Even Jinyang's nerves gradually relaxed and a smile began to appear on his face.

He raised his hand and held Gu Lanxi's bare hand, while Gu Lanxi's eyes were still on the small ball of diapers that Lu Youqing was fiddling with.

Following Lu Youqing's movements, she would twist her body, kick her little feet back and forth, wave her little hands, and make "yayaya" sounds.

After Lu Youqing changed her clothes and picked her up again, her eyes became bright, she giggled, stretched out her little hand to grab her fingers and wanted to put them in her mouth...

It can be seen that Gu Lanxi likes children very much.

Jin Yang's eyes dimmed, and he continued the previous topic, "Don't worry, the capital will not be peaceful for too long. The spies I left in Qin sent a message saying that Qin has been recruiting soldiers and preparing military rations since the beginning of the year."

"Your Highness, do you mean that they are going to send troops to attack Dayan?" Lu Youqing's heart sank.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Qin army will invade our border again without waiting until the end of the year. By then, they won't have the chance to spy on Liangzhou for the time being. That will be our chance."

Lu Youqing had followed Jinyang for quite some time and had a certain understanding of her thoughts and behavior. Seeing her like this, he vaguely guessed His Highness's plan.

"Your Highness is wise."

There is no need to make things too clear between smart people.

When the serious matters were almost discussed, Qin Ke came back with the prepared tea and cakes, and asked the wet nurse to take Yueya downstairs to feed her.

"What is this?" Gu Lanxi asked curiously, looking at the milky white liquid with some brown color in the cup.

Qin Ke handed the last cup to Lu Youqing and explained, "This is milk tea, a newly developed drink. It is made by frying sugar and tea leaves over a low fire until they turn into a caramel color, then adding boiling water and milk. Your Highness, can you try it and see if you like it?"

Even Lu Youqing saw milk tea for the first time.

"It's sweet and delicious, very good." Jinyang picked up the teacup and took a sip, and couldn't help but admire it.
