Chapter 398 The Prince Consort
"Your Highness, a caravan entered the city early this morning."
"What caravan? Didn't the city get blocked by heavy snow? All the official roads were covered with snow, and carriages couldn't pass at all. How did these caravans get here?"
"They didn't come here in a carriage, but walked all the way to Ningchuan City."
Ye Jintang was extremely surprised. How big a business could this person be that they could walk to Ningchuan City despite the severe cold.
"Tell me in detail what happened."
It turned out that this was a merchant caravan that was originally heading to Yushan City. They got separated in the heavy snow and finally came to Ningchuan City. The leader of the caravan knew Manager Qiao, and the two had some dealings with each other before, so Manager Qiao received them warmly.
During the chat, Manager Qiao learned that they were going to Xirong to buy gemstones. They planned to stop in Yushan City before the New Year and then go to the capital to sell them after the New Year.
"Captain Feng said he had seen Zhou Quankun, who was blind in one eye, in Xirong. He is now the consort of Princess Longping of Xirong."
"Is the news reliable?"
Ye Jintang was completely stunned. Didn’t Zhou Quankun jump off a cliff and die? How did he survive and go to Xirong to become a royal consort?
He was blind in one eye and survived jumping off a cliff. He is really lucky.
"It shouldn't be wrong. In the past, Feng Biaotou lived in the same alley as Zhou Quankun's family in the capital. He will definitely not recognize the wrong person."
"Did he notice that there was a girl next to Zhou Quankun, who was about the same height as me and dressed like a woman?"
"Yes, Zhou Quankun has a female doctor who specializes in treating his eye injuries. She follows him wherever he goes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jintang wanted to swear, because he thought that this female doctor must be Yao Zhen.
What tricks did Zhou Quankun use to fool Princess Longping?
Didn’t she realize that Yao Zhen and Zhou Quankun were having an affair?
"Any other news?"
"That's all for now. Zhou Quankun is now the consort of the emperor, and Feng Biaotou is just an outsider businessman. I don't dare to ask too much about him."
Sitting on the Luohan bed, Ye Jintang quickly thought about the plot about Zhou Quankun in the original novel. In the original novel, he finally surrendered to King Zheng, was promoted and made a fortune, and lived a very carefree life, and had nothing to do with Xirong.
It seems that her appearance changed the fate of many people in the original work.
"I'll take care of this matter, you go ahead and do your work."
"Yes."
Manager Qiao stood up, bowed and prepared to leave. Ye Jintang immediately saw the jade pendant hanging around his waist.
The jade pendant was nothing special, but Ye Jintang recognized the lace on it. It was Gu Waner’s favorite plum blossom lace.
Every time she makes a plum blossom net, she likes to add a scented bead in the middle, which makes it beautiful and smells good.
A woman gave a man a necklace and said that they were both fine, but she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.
Ye Jintang was very clear about the background of Manager Qiao. He was trained by Grandpa Wen and had been helping Grandpa Wen take care of the business.
Since he can gain the approval of Mr. Wen, there must be no problem with his character. If Gu Wan'er marries him, her life will definitely not be bad.
But she was a little worried whether Manager Qiao was sincere to Gu Wan'er.
Since he came from Grandpa Wen's side, he naturally knew about Gu Wan'er's past.
She had been married before, and although everyone in the palace called her Miss Gu after she came to Ningchuan City, this could not change her past.
In this backward society, it is very difficult for Gu Wan'er to get married. Even if she wants to get married, she usually marries into a poor family. As long as she has some money, she would rather marry an old girl than a divorced girl.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang couldn't help but swear secretly. What kind of world is this? She had to find a way to change it.
Ye Jintang, who always wanted to be a salted fish and just want to lie down, unknowingly embarked on the path of changing women's destinies because of her chivalrous heart and never turned back.
Xiao Mo and Zhou Quankun had already been in a situation of life and death. Now Ye Jintang received the news that Zhou Quankun was still alive. He did not dare to delay and immediately went to the front yard to find Xiao Mo.
But when I went there, I found nothing.
Only then did she realize that Manager Qiao should have come to see Xiao Mo a long time ago.
"Madam Zhang, go ask where the prince has gone."
"Yes."
Nanny Zhang went out for a while and came back soon.
"Your Highness, the prince took his men out of town to hunt early this morning. He said he wanted to see if there were any deer in the surrounding mountains."
Ye Jintang's first reaction was that Xiao Mo was not a human being. She was so tired last night, but he actually took people hunting early in the morning. His physical fitness was outrageous. In the future, she would definitely restrict Xiao Mo from drinking Tu Su wine.
"How can there be deer in such a cold forest? If there were any, they would have starved to death long ago."
Yesterday she just mentioned to Xiao Mo that she wanted to eat barbecue on New Year's Eve, and he immediately ran off hunting. She appreciated his kindness.
But she still likes the deer raised in her space. The food from the space is much more delicious than wild deer.
Xiao Mo went out hunting and wouldn't be back for a while, so Ye Jintang simply went into the space to work.
There is cotton to be planted, mulberry trees to be planted, silkworms to be raised, and medicinal herbs to be used to make Yue Ye Tu Su wine. She also needs to plant more, as a lot of medicinal herbs are needed to make wine.
After spending most of the day in the space and harvesting countless bags of cotton, silk cocoons, and medicinal herbs, Ye Jintang returned to the house exhausted. Just after he leaned on the Arhat bed for a while, Xiao Mo came in with a chill.
"I went out for a day today and wanted to hunt a deer to roast the venison, but after working for a long time, I didn't see any trace of deer, and I killed three wild boars."
Xiao Mo took off his cloak as he spoke. He did not approach Ye Jintang immediately, but went to the charcoal stove to warm his hands to get rid of the coldness in his body.
"We are in a bitterly cold place, how could there be deer here?"
"I just want to try my luck."
The two talked for a few words, and then Ye Jintang told Xiao Mo about Zhou Quankun's story.
"There is such a thing. Zhou Quankun is really lucky."
Xiao Mo frowned. He didn't expect that Zhou Quankun was so hard to kill and could survive after falling off the cliff.
"I will send people to Xirong to investigate this matter after the spring. Keeping Zhou Quankun here will only bring trouble."
"I think so too. It would be best if we could send someone to assassinate him directly."
Ye Jintang has never been merciful to his enemies.
"Well, he must have bad intentions in trying so hard to become a royal consort."
The Western Rong and the Tian Qin Kingdom had been fighting for so many years and had long been mortal enemies. They were currently enjoying a brief period of peace.
If Zhou Quankun instigates trouble, it is not impossible that a war will break out.
The Tianqin Kingdom is now like a bamboo basket with wind leaking from all sides. Xiao Mo is determined not to allow anyone to provoke a war at this time.
"I'll go to the study first and come back to have dinner with you later."
"it is good."
Xiao Mo stood up and left in a hurry. He wanted to arrange this matter as soon as possible. Even if the city was blocked by heavy snow, he would send people out.
