The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"Let them handle today's matter first, and we'll discuss other things after the results are in."

"Well, it's no use saying anything now."

The two calmed themselves down and sent someone to interrogate them. After closing the door, they went directly into the space to eat. Ling Silang was now very familiar with everything in the space, including using the stove. If he weren't still wearing ancient costume and had long hair, you really wouldn't be able to tell.

Not long after we finished eating in the space, Qiu Shu came in to report.

"According to the two men, after we arrived, one of them would come and order food. After we finished eating, they would give us an extra tael of silver, which meant that we could start the fight."

Du Mingxian: They are very meticulous in their work.

"I remember when we entered the inn, there was a man sitting in the lobby eating, with his back to us."

Du Mingxian also remembered it, but she had only glanced at it casually and hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. "Yes."

Qiu Shu said with some regret, "Because it's a side profile, we have no way of knowing for sure who did it."

"Those are just small fry, not a big problem. Even if we know their appearance, there's only so much we can find out. We need to be extra careful lately. Have Xiangyang and the others woken up yet?"

All the people the Wen family gave them collapsed, but the four people the Crown Prince gave them were unharmed because they had been trained. This shows how strict the royal family is in training people. The Crown Prince just gave away such useful manpower for free; he's such a kind person.

"A doctor has already been called. The waiter put the medicine in the water, so no one noticed. Xia Yu is brewing the medicine for them."

"We don't need to be waited on here; you should focus on things outside."

"Yes." Qiu Shu was worried that his two masters hadn't eaten yet. "Shall I go and buy some food for the master and madam?"

"No need, we're not very hungry yet. If you're hungry, just go out and buy something. There's still a lot to do on the road ahead, so make sure you're in good shape."

"Yes," Qiu Shu replied and turned to leave.

Du Mingxian was a little curious, "I've never quite understood why the Crown Prince would help us like this, given that Old Madam Xu was her own grandmother, who is sisters with the Duchess of the State, and the current Empress calls her 'Aunt'?"

She didn't believe that the Crown Prince would be willing to give them manpower directly just because she had given him some spiritual water.

Talented people are always scarce, no matter when; even a crown prince will lack talented people.

If Old Madam Xu were the Empress's birth mother, the Crown Prince's help would be somewhat understandable, but with his aunt, it's hard to say...

Her memories from her past life were of no help whatsoever in this matter, and since she arrived in the capital relatively late, she was unaware of many things.

When she arrived in the capital, the Crown Prince had passed away first, then the Empress, and then the Emperor. The Third Prince had been on the throne for two years, and the Duke's Mansion was extremely low-key. She had been in the capital for many years and knew very little about the Duke's Mansion.

Ling Silang and Du Mingxian had different perspectives. "The reason the Crown Prince gave us people is probably because we are useful to him. Also, the Crown Prince has always been in poor health. Let alone having any ambition for the throne, he doesn't even know what his own life is going to be.

"When he saw no hope of surviving, you gave him hope, which was like giving him a new life. In addition, your help to his aunt also strengthened your relationship, making it even stronger. So he didn't want anything to happen to us."

"He probably hopes we can leave safely and return to the capital safely, bringing the joy of completing our mission. Now that the Crown Prince is better, he will definitely ascend to that position in the future. When he does ascend, I, as a courtier, can be considered part of his original team, which will be helpful to him."

"So don't overthink it. We're working for the royal family and for the Crown Prince, clearing some obstacles. Without the Ming King, his throne would be more secure. The four of us we're giving you are just there to assist him."

Du Mingxian understood what he meant and felt a little unhappy. "With such good manpower, does he really want to take them back after we complete the mission? That's too stingy. He is the Crown Prince after all, only sending out four people. He'll want them back later. Isn't he afraid of being laughed at?"

"Don't worry, the Crown Prince won't want them. Since he's given us people, they're our people. The people in the Crown Prince's residence have all been trained for a long time, so there's no such thing as a life-or-death contract. They're more about obeying orders."

"This is a personality trait developed from childhood."

Du Mingxian seemed to be experiencing this world all over again. Things she had never understood in her previous life were now being explained to her by the young Ling Silang.

Indeed, some people are born to be politicians.

She silently gave Ling Silang a thumbs up.

Ling Silang handed over the inn matter to the local government, letting them investigate the rest as they saw fit. He wasn't going to waste his time here.

Setting off again, considering that they might be watched along the way, the group continued walking until they reached a large city... at which point they broke up into smaller groups and dispersed.

Du Mingxian was very happy with this plan. With no one following them, she and Ling Silang didn't have to worry about what to eat or drink, or where to stay on the road. All of these things could be done in the space.

After discussing it, the two decided to go directly to the Ming King's fiefdom as quickly as possible to take a look first.

After confirming that no one was following them, they changed their clothes in the space. The two men rode horses at full speed and arrived at the city gate of the fiefdom of Prince Ming in just three days.

Because it was too late when they arrived and the city gates were already closed, the two of them didn't rush in. Instead, they found a quiet place and went straight into their space to rest, planning to go in the next day.

I don't know if their luck is good or bad.

That night, the city gates opened, and a group of people and horses left the city, along with many carriages, all of which were carrying goods.

It looks strange at first glance.

Why not just take away these perfectly good things openly during the day? Why insist on taking them away at night, and even open the city gates? It's clear they're something that can't be brought into the light.

After Du Mingxian discovered this, she immediately woke up Ling Silang.

Inside the space, only she could see what was happening outside; Ling Silang couldn't see it. She dictated everything to Ling Silang.

“Let’s follow them and see what’s going on. These people are suspicious.”

Du Mingxian pulled Ling Silang out of the space, and the two of them quietly followed. But who could have known that these people were walking extremely slowly? Because it was night and the road was difficult to walk on, Du Mingxian felt like she was crawling like a snail, and Ling Silang also felt very strange.

"They sneak out of the city at night, why are they walking so slowly? If they really had something to do, they wouldn't be taking so long to come out."

Du Mingxian agreed wholeheartedly, "This is suspicious. I don't care anymore. I'm sleepy. I'm going into my space. You can follow along on your own. If you have any problems, just call me."
