The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

The carriage slowly drove away from the Shen Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Luo Xiyao looked at Xie Nanyuan with suspicion.

Something is wrong, very wrong. My cousin is too enthusiastic towards Aunt Shen. He has never been so enthusiastic even towards the Emperor.

Did my cousin do something to offend Aunt Shen?

But not counting the birthday party at the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion, this should be the first time my cousin and Aunt Shen have met, right?

What can I do to let Aunt Shen down?

Luo Xiyao's eyes were burning, but Xie Nanyuan stood still like a mountain. When the carriage drove onto the street, Xie Nanyuan got off.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets in winter. Lin Ze followed behind Xie Nanyuan and expressed contempt for Xie Nanyuan's behavior today.

Even at this point, the prince still doesn't admit that he likes Miss Shen, and I don't know what he is insisting on. He can't bear to see the series of actions she has taken recently. She is too petty.

After Princess Yongning's matchmaking operation during the Lantern Festival, the prince gave Fu Chen a lot of official tasks the next day.

Before entrusting him with an important task, one must first examine Fu Chen's abilities.

When he heard the prince's excuse, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. It was so embarrassing.

The prince wanted to find an excuse to keep Fu Chen busy, so that Princess Pingning would not ask Fu Chen to invite Huo Jing to meet Miss Shen again. He should have found a better excuse.

When it comes to marching and fighting, the prince is experienced, but he has only worked in the Ministry of War for half a year, while Fu Chen has been there for more than two years. There is no need to observe him.

In other words, the prince had military merits, his official position was far higher than Fu Chen's, and he also had a relationship with Princess Pingning, so Fu Chen worked hard and was willing to do his best.

Princess Pingning complained a few words, and the prince sent someone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to teach Princess Pingning martial arts again.

Princess Pingning gets up before dawn every day and finishes work after dark. She is so tired that she falls asleep as soon as she falls on the couch. Not to mention having the energy to find a matchmaker, she probably even dozes off during meals.

The prince finally calmed down a bit, Fu Chen had less official duties, and Princess Pingning no longer had to practice martial arts so hard every day. But Princess Pingning ended up committing suicide.

Miss Shen invited the princess and Fu Chen to the Shen Mansion. The princess sent someone to the Ministry of War to inform Fu Chen, and the servant was caught by the prince when he was leaving.

When Fu Chen was reporting on official business to the prince, the prince asked casually and learned that Princess Pingning was so bold that she even dared to ask Fu Chen to invite Huo Jing to go to the Shen Mansion together.

The prince's face turned dark in an instant, and he didn't dare to look at that expression again.

Now, Fu Chen originally thought that he could go to the appointment after reporting on his official business, but the prince threw a bunch of official business at him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to finish it until tomorrow morning.

Since Fu Chen couldn't go, Huo Jing naturally couldn't go either.

He originally thought that the matter ended there, but the prince left all his affairs to Fu Chen to handle, and then turned around and went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The prince said that he had some official business to deal with and could not come. The prince was entrusted by Fu Chen and sympathized with Princess Pingning and was willing to accompany the princess to the Shen Mansion.

God knows how much of an impact it had on him when the prince said this expressionlessly.

He had never felt so unfamiliar with the prince. If he had not always been by the prince's side, he would have almost suspected that the prince had been replaced by someone else.

It's really shameless.

And just now, the prince's attitude towards Madam Shen shocked not only the princess, but also him.

He knew what kind of person the prince was and how difficult he was to serve, but it seemed as if all this didn't exist in front of Madam Shen.

The first time he associated the word "dog leg" with the prince was in front of the emperor. The prince had never done that before. Every word he said was responded to.

Lin Ze's mind was full of thoughts, and before he knew it, he followed Xie Nanyuan into the study in the palace.

It wasn't until Xie Nanyuan stared at him with deep eyes that Lin Ze couldn't help but shudder, and then he came back to his senses, "Ah, yes... Prince, what did you say just now?"

Xie Nanyuan looked a little dissatisfied. "This prince said, take a few people to the nearby farms and ask a few old farmers about the situation in the fields to see if there is anything unusual."

"Ah, why?" Lin Ze asked in confusion.

When did the prince start to care about the situation in the farmland?

Xie Nanyuan frowned and said, "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"

It's not certain yet. I just heard an old farmer say it casually. It's better not to cause too much panic before things are confirmed clearly.

If someone else said this, Xie Nanyuan might not care too much, but the old farmer makes a living from farming, and if there is any unusual phenomenon, he will definitely know more about it than the court officials.

When it comes to mysterious things like this, it’s better to believe it exists than not. It’s better to ask more questions to feel more at ease.

"Yes." Lin Ze agreed and turned to go out.

"Wait." Xie Nanyuan spoke again. He suddenly thought of what Shen Qionghua said about the riverbank. Since he wanted to visit it, he might as well visit it all to feel at ease.

"Not only farmland, you should bring more people with you and check the rivers around the capital to see if there is anything abnormal." Xie Nanyuan said in a deep voice.

Although Linze didn't know why Xie Nanyuan suddenly cared about these things, he did as he was told, turned around and left the study, and gathered his men to leave the capital.

Linze was quite quick and returned to the palace five days later, presenting the results to Xie Nanyuan.

"Your Highness, I have asked more than ten old farmers, and they all said there was nothing unusual. I also checked the nearby river, and there was nothing unusual."

"Your Highness, you are suddenly concerned about these things. Is there something big happening?" Lin Ze asked.

No abnormality?

Xie Nanyuan felt relieved, but for some reason he felt a little uneasy.

Shen Qionghua said that an old farmer said there was something unusual, but Linze found several old farmers and they all said there was nothing unusual.

Xie Nanyuan knew that there was no one who could predict the future in this world, but he inexplicably felt that what Shen Qionghua said was true.

But there was no evidence, and he couldn't go to the palace to persuade the emperor based on this vague thing.

If this is true, I am afraid the emperor will think he is crazy.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Take out all the silver in the palace's account and exchange it for food."

"Also, the reward the Emperor gave me during the New Year has been converted into silver and hasn't been sent to the army yet. Don't bother. Just convert it into food and send it to the barracks."

"Ah?" Lin Ze was surprised.

All... all converted into food?
