The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

As they were talking, the group entered shed number one. Runyue and Yingying let go of Jingxue's hand and headed for the doghouse.

Lord Liu was worried that the dog would frighten the two children. "Girls, be careful!"

Jingxue knew Yingying's abilities, so she wasn't worried. "It's alright! As long as the dog isn't scared."

Hmm! I hope I don't scare the dog.

The retired emperor was in a very good mood when he saw the lush green vegetables.

When they came out of shed number one, Jingxue didn't let the two little girls follow her. She was worried that they would catch a cold if they went in and out together. Besides, the two little ones were watching the puppies nursing with great interest!

We arrived at greenhouse number five, where tomatoes and other vegetables are grown, and they can be harvested in the next few days.

Inside the greenhouse, on the neatly arranged shelves, there were red and yellow tomatoes, as well as tender green cucumbers, which were particularly appealing.

Liu He stayed close to Jingxue, saying, "Your Highness, that vegetable called chili pepper is really good. I've tried it, and its taste is comparable to dogwood! Green peppers are much better in comparison. If these vegetables could be widely promoted, the food available to the people would be much more abundant."

Jingxue responded, "Lord Liu also said it's a promotion, so there will always be a process, but there should be good results."

"Yes, it's all thanks to Your Majesty's selfless and virtuous heart." Liu He said this from the bottom of his heart.

When they arrived at the greenhouse where soybeans were grown, Jingxue saw that the soybean plants had already begun to branch and were about to bloom. Moreover, the temperature inside this greenhouse was significantly higher than in the other greenhouses.

Liu He said, "Your Highness, according to the instructions you left behind, I remember that the temperature during the flowering period of soybeans should not be too low or too high."

Jingxue nodded, "Yes!"

"I've eaten the tofu and bean sprouts that Your Majesty sent, and to be honest, they were wonderful! I'm not afraid to admit it, Your Majesty, but I don't want to go back to the capital."

Liu He's blunt truth made Jingxue laugh.

After looking around, Jingxue was quite satisfied. The people on the estate were indeed reliable, and nothing went wrong.

Ye Muchen chatted with the officers and soldiers who came to the military camp for training for a long time. He was very happy to learn that they had also gained a lot, and he felt that the army had new hope for next year.

Back at Shed No. 1, Jingxue led the two reluctant little girls out and headed towards the estate, where Li Ma and the others had already prepared lunch.

Jingxue spoke a few more words with Steward Yuan, learning that the grain in the storeroom was running low, and said she would make arrangements.

Butler Yuan wanted Jingxue to look at the ledgers for vegetable shipments during this period, but Jingxue waved her hand and said that the fruit and vegetable store also had records, and she could look at those records whenever she had time.

Jingxue used her supernatural ability to fill the warehouse with grain, and also put in a few pigs and a hundred chickens. Anyway, they can be frozen now, so they won't spoil.

Last time, he was tricked by the county magistrate's manor because he sent Ying Shiwu to deliver meat to the estate.

Jingxue then took out another 200 taels of silver notes and handed them to Steward Yuan, saying, "Miss, I still have the silver notes you left for me last time!"

"Take this! I don't know if I'll have time to come back before the New Year. During the New Year, give the villagers who worked a little extra money, and also give each family a portion of meat and vegetables. You guys can discuss and decide what to do!"

"Okay lady!"

After lunch, it was time to return to the city, and Yingying and Runyue were reluctant to part with the puppy.

Jingxue had no choice but to say to Li Quan, "Uncle Li, when those puppies are a month old, have the vegetable delivery people send two to the Prince's Mansion. The rest can stay on the estate!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the retired emperor, who had already taken several steps back, suddenly turned around and said, "Leave me the best one too, and have it sent to the palace!"

Jingxue sighed, wondering if there was anything in this world that this old man didn't want.

Before sunset, the group returned to the War King's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the retired emperor said, "I want to return to the palace!"

Jingxue was overjoyed to hear this; the great Buddha was finally leaving. However, Ye Muchen still tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Father, you've finally come out of the palace; why don't you stay a few more days?"

Jingxue really wanted to kick him, but then the Emperor Emeritus said, "I won't stay any longer. However, girl, pack two portions of each of the good things you have in your hands for me."

What? Jingxue really wanted to clean her ears; this old man had quite the appetite!

"Father, where does your daughter-in-law have any good stuff?"

The Emperor Emeritus stopped in his tracks. "Give me two of all those novelties you have and don't have in your shop!"

"Father, really, there isn't any. Didn't you take the flashlight and the lantern?"

"That doesn't count! The Emperor's edict is mine, and the Emperor must also have a copy!"

"Father, those things were good, weren't they? It's a pity they're gone!" Jingxue felt that the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus were comparable to bandits.

"If you don't give it to me, I won't leave. I'm actually quite comfortable sleeping on the heated kang in Lingyunxuan!" The Emperor Emeritus flicked his sleeve.

Jingxue: How can this old man be so shameless!

“Father, you’re past the age of wanting everything you see. Besides, what benefit would I get from giving you these things? If there’s no benefit, why would I give things away? I’m not some kind of traitor, so I won’t give them to you!” Jingxue insisted.

Caught in the middle, Ye Muchen couldn't advise either side, so he simply watched the show.

"What benefits do you want?" the retired emperor asked, turning around.

Jingxue didn't hold back and said directly, "Release my father and mother!"

"Impossible!" The Emperor Emeritus's face also turned serious.

"Why? You know perfectly well that my father was wronged."

Seeing this, Ye Muchen hurriedly advised, "Shall we go inside and talk about this?"

The Emperor Emeritus exhaled and said, "You two, come in with me!"

Jingxue asked Gao Chi to take Runyue and Yingying back to Jingning Garden first.

Even Eunuch Xi wasn't allowed in this time. The retired emperor, with a gloomy expression, tossed his cloak and sat down in a chair, instantly revealing the majesty of a former emperor.

His voice was deep and cold. "Speak, do you know who framed your father?"

At this point, Jingxue could no longer back down. "You knew all along that someone had framed my father, so why did the Emperor close the case so soon and imprison my parents?"

"Who are you?" The Emperor Emeritus's voice startled even Ye Muchen.

"I can only tell you about the ministers in the court!"

"Snapped"

The retired emperor slammed his hand on the table. "Do you need to tell me? Fine! You won't tell me, huh?"

Ye Muchen looked anxiously at Jingxue, "Xue'er..."

Jingxue's gaze turned cold. "Would you believe me if I told you? Would you release my father and the others if I told you? Would you bring that person to justice if I told you?"

"You..." The Emperor Emeritus was so angry that he picked up a cup from the table and smashed it down.

The cup shattered with a crack, and Ye Muchen hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Father, please calm down. Xue'er was just worried and confused. Please don't blame her."

Jingxue did not kneel. She looked directly at the Emperor Emeritus and said, "I deeply regret it now. I trusted the Emperor and the court too much back then, thinking they would give my father a fair judgment. But I was greatly disappointed. I should have..."

Ye Muchen quickly stood up and covered Jingxue's mouth. "Xue'er, don't talk nonsense! You..."

He clearly saw the tears welling up in Jingxue's eyes. He let go of her hand, feeling a pang of heartache as he tried to wipe away her tears, but Jingxue turned her head away.

He sighed, turned to the retired emperor, and said, "Father, what exactly do you and the emperor want?"
