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

Upon hearing the Imperial Guards' words outside, Jingxue simply replied, "Understood!"

Ye Muchen, who was standing next to Jingxue, thought that Jingxue must be very distressed, so he quickly said, "Xue'er, don't worry. I will have Gao Chi report to Father and His Majesty, and then I will accompany you to the manor to see what is going on."

"No need to report to them. With so many Golden Armor Guards in the palace, they'll find out soon enough. I don't care if the greenhouse burns down. The Imperial Guards' message was vague. What I'm worried about is whether there were any casualties. I hope not!" Jingxue said, then turned and went back to Ye Muchen's room.

“Then let’s go to the estate and take a look!” Ye Muchen said, following her.

"Your body isn't..."

Ye Muchen interrupted Jingxue, "I'm fine now, I have to go! I'll have Gao Chi go back to the manor to prepare the carriage in a bit."

Although riding a horse would definitely be faster, Ye Muchen still had a cold! Thinking of this, Jingxue said, "Alright!"

Jingxue took out a set of toiletries from the medicine box and handed it to Ye Muchen. "After you wash up, drink the millet porridge first. I'll prepare some oral medicine for you later."

"it is good!"

At this time, Gao Chi, Xiao Man, and others arrived one after another.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I heard shouts outside. What should we do?" Gao Chi asked.

"Xiaoman and Liqiu, you two go make breakfast first! Whatever you make, you need to eat first. Besides, you haven't slept for long. We'll talk after you eat," Jingxue instructed.

Just as Jingxue said, the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus both knew about the greenhouses on the estate being burned down.

"Send the Prince of War and his consort over to take a look!" The Emperor said to the Golden Armor Guard who came to report, after he had stayed at Phoenix Palace the previous night.

The Empress said, "I feel there's something strange about this fire. Why did it have to start last night of all times?"

"Perhaps it's because of the New Year, and the guards might have been negligent. Let's wait until they come back from their inspection!" The Emperor was thinking about the agreement already signed with Cangbei, and whether Princess Zhan would stop providing the court with grain seeds because of this.

The Emperor was quite clever and didn't provoke Jingxue; he only instructed the Imperial Guards not to stop Princess Zhan and her entourage from leaving the palace.

Inside Yue'an Palace, the Emperor Emeritus and Baili Zhan were having breakfast with several children when the old man's face darkened after hearing the report.

"Has Princess Consort received the news? Last night you..." the Emperor Emeritus asked Jin Shisi.

"Your Majesty, I saw the Imperial Guards shouting outside Yichun Palace, and Princess Zhan responded from inside. As for what happened in Yichun Palace last night, I dared not get too close."

"Alright, I understand!"

"Subordinates resign!"

The Emperor Emeritus looked at Baili Zhan, who had a questioning expression, and said, “You don’t know this, but I sent people to follow Princess Zhan before. I don’t know what’s wrong with that girl, but the people I sent were discovered by her in no time and were all sent back! So, since then, none of those brats dare to get too close to her.”

"Oh! I guess Mu Chen and the other guy will be heading to the manor soon. But that way, they can temporarily forget about coming to confront us." Baili Zhan had been quite uneasy, wondering if those two had succeeded in their plan. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, he was determined to be the villain.

Oh! He's suffering so much!

He was right. Jingxue had really planned to come to Yue'an Palace after breakfast, regardless of whether it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

But we really need to go and see the village first.

After breakfast, Ye Muchen took his medicine and instructed Ying Wu to go to Wanyan Junhao's palace to tell the guy that he had something to do today and couldn't go drink with him, and that they should make an appointment another day.

When Jingxue and Ye Muchen arrived at the palace gate with Runyue, Gao Chi was already waiting there with a carriage.

Because none of them had slept well the night before, they all slept fitfully the whole way.

When they arrived near the village, Jingxue realized that Qin Jing or the people on the village were being somewhat conservative. It wasn't just one greenhouse that was burned down; the greenhouse that was burned down was the second to last one, the one where corn was grown, and Liang Lin's two other greenhouses were also partially burned down.

Even now, wisps of black smoke are still rising from the large greenhouse in the middle!

Meanwhile, the plastic sheeting on the greenhouse next to them was still fluttering in the wind.

When they arrived at the greenhouse and got out of the car, Jingxue saw Qin Jing and several village leaders still leading people to clean up the ashes inside the greenhouse.

Seeing Jingxue and the others get out of the car, Qin Jing and his group walked over. Butler Yuan and several estate managers bowed to Jingxue and Ye Muchen.

"Cousin, you're here!" Qin Jing's face showed an unprecedented sense of dejection.

"Hmm! Were any villagers or our servants injured?" Jingxue asked as she walked toward the greenhouse.

Li Quan said, "Reporting to Miss, Zhao Chen was on night duty here last night. Around midnight, he smelled the kerosene and got up to find that the greenhouse was on fire. Someone shot an arrow out of the greenhouse, and the arrow was covered with cotton soaked in kerosene."

"At that time, everyone was sound asleep. Zhao Chen shouted and tried to put out the fire himself. His hair and hands were burned, but it wasn't too serious."

Manager Yuan continued, "When the fire got out, it was too big, and the corn leaves in the greenhouse were quickly all picked up. We could only try our best to protect the two greenhouses next to us."

"Shadow A led several shadow guards to chase after the arsonist, but it was too dark and the person had already escaped. The next day at dawn, they went to look for clues again and found traces of someone hiding in the nearby trees, but they did not find the person."

Ye Muchen asked, "Has no one from the military camp come over?"

"Your Highness, those who heard the commotion have all come over. We were afraid that someone might take advantage of the chaos to destroy the other greenhouses. Since it was dark and there were many people, the soldiers in the military camp are helping to watch over the remaining greenhouses," Li Quan replied.

"Sister-in-law, I just did the math. The corn is no good, and the soybean greenhouse has also suffered some damage. Fortunately, the other greenhouse is for sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are still in the soil, but there are fewer sweet potato vines. However, the greenhouse itself was burned."

Qin Jing then added, "I plan to have someone dig up all the sweet potatoes later, otherwise they'll freeze. Is that alright?"

"Cut all the soybeans and take them back! Once the greenhouse is tidied up, dismantle the frame and the greenhouse itself!"

Qin Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay!"

Seeing him like this, Jingxue comforted him softly, "It's alright, we have plenty of seeds. We have other things to do next, so let's leave it at that for now! Just make sure the vegetables are ready!"

"Understood, cousin-in-law." Qin Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then hurry up and call people over to dig sweet potatoes and harvest soybeans!" Jingxue said, taking out the Polaroid camera she had prepared beforehand and taking some photos of the greenhouses.

“Yes, Miss, it’s cold, you and the Prince should go back to the estate first!” Li Quan said.

"I'll go see Zhao Chen first. Butler Yuan, why don't you take us to see him?" Jingxue said.

Ye Muchen instructed Gao Chi, "Go to the camp over there and call Ma Zhuangtou and the others to come and help!"

Qin Jing said, "No need. The soldiers just went back and didn't sleep much last night. We have enough manpower here."

"It's alright. There have been times when things were even tougher during wartime. It gets dark early now, so let's bring it back quickly and sleep together tonight!" Ye Muchen said, giving Gao Chi a look that signaled him to hurry up.

Gao Chi responded and left.

Jingxue didn't stop them. She took Runyue and Steward Yuan into the carriage and headed into the village, while Ye Muchen stayed at the greenhouse.
