"Big news! Big news!" Yuan Yuhan rushed over in a hurry.
"What's the matter? Is it worth being so flustered?" Jing Xunchao looked at Yuan Yuhan and asked.
"You didn't go to the court today. The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom publicly proposed to marry the Prince of Wen in the court today." Yuan Yuhan sat down and took a big gulp of tea before saying.
"What did you say? Propose to marry the Prince of Wen?" Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yuhan in disbelief. Could the Prince of Wen accept a woman proposing to him in front of everyone?
"I had the same expression when I first heard about it. But I don't know what the Prince of Wen and the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom are up to. The Prince of Wen didn't show any reaction at all." Yuan Yuhan was also puzzled, but he couldn't just stand up and object. What if the Queen took a fancy to him then?
Jing Xunchao frowned slightly and asked, "When is their wedding date?"
"It's in three days. Although the time is tight, they will hold another wedding ceremony after they return to the Snow Feather Kingdom." This was what the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom promised on the spot. She also promised that the Prince of Wen would be her imperial husband.
"By the way, how's your investigation on the Jiang family going?" Yuan Yuhan remembered the headache he had these two days and asked.
"We've been investigating, but the Jiang family has done this very secretly. It's not easy for us to find evidence." They had been monitoring the Jiang family for several days, but they hadn't found any favorable clues.
"In my opinion, we'd better change the direction of our investigation," Yuan Yuhan suggested.
"Change the direction? What do you mean?" Jing Xunchao looked at Yuan Yuhan in confusion.
"We can't find anything in the Jiang family. Why don't we go to the Kingdom of Karls to investigate? There are so many things there. There must be some clues. And it's more convenient to act there." Yuan Yuhan raised his eyebrows.
Jing Xunchao and Mu Fengqie fell into deep thought. Maybe this was a good idea. "Then you..."
Before Jing Xunchao could finish his sentence, Yuan Yuhan had already guessed what he was going to say and directly refused, "I won't go. A Ru has reached a critical stage. I have to take good care of her."
"Okay. After the wedding of the Prince of Wen in three days, Qie'er and I will set off." For now, this was the only option.
"You're going to... take Fengqie with you?" Yuan Yuhan looked at Jing Xunchao uncertainly.
"What's the matter? Do you have any objections?" Jing Xunchao asked.
Yuan Yuhan adjusted his sitting posture and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I mean, can you leave Fengqie here? After all, A Ru may need her. Don't you think so?"
"Don't worry. I'll come back as soon as possible. Half a month. Whether I find anything or not, I'll come back." This was Mu Fengqie's promise to Yuan Yuhan. A Ru's situation might change at any time, so it was better for her to stay in the capital.
But she had to go there in person. Otherwise, what if Jing Xunchao was plotted against and got infected with that thing?
"Okay. With your words, I'm relieved. Be careful on your way. I won't see you off. The more people there are, the more likely we'll be discovered." Yuan Yuhan said.
"Okay."
Just as they finished talking, they saw Shen Qi running in from outside. "Sister Qie'er, Marquis Zhongning, I want to go too."
"Qi'er, don't be naughty!" Mu Fengqie looked at Shen Qi seriously. That place was very dangerous. It was already difficult for them two adults to ensure their safety. If they took a child like Qi'er with them, it would be even more difficult to act.
"No, Sister Qie'er, I want to go. You don't have to worry about me. I won't hold you back." Shen Qi looked at Mu Fengqie firmly. He knew this operation was very dangerous, but that was the lair of the person who had hurt his mother. How could he not go?
"Qi'er! Have you ever thought that your parents only have you as their child? What if something happens to you? How can I explain it to them?" This was not a joke. She would never agree.
Jing Xunchao and Mu Fengqie were on the same side. It was too risky to take a child with them. Shen Qi should stay in the mansion.
Shen Qi looked at them with red eyes and ran out. This time, Mu Fengqie didn't chase after him. This child was too reckless. If something happened to him, she would never forgive herself.
"Cough... Well... How about leaving this child with me when you leave?" Yuan Yuhan had witnessed an educational scene and felt a bit embarrassed.
"That's what we were thinking. I'll send him there with my secret guards. You must take good care of him. Otherwise, I won't let you off when I come back!" Mu Fengqie threatened Yuan Yuhan.
"Got it, got it. I'm a prince of the current dynasty. Can't you give me some face? Is this how you shout at a prince?" Yuan Yuhan muttered dissatisfiedly, but his voice was too low for Mu Fengqie to hear.
But Jing Xunchao heard it and glared at him fiercely. Yuan Yuhan glared back defiantly.
"I'll leave if there's nothing else. A Ru is still waiting for me at home." With that, he slipped away. If he didn't go, he was afraid Jing Xunchao would make fun of him.
"What do we need to prepare for the wedding of the Prince of Wen?" Mu Fengqie asked. Jing Xunchao was more familiar with this kind of thing, so it was right to ask him.
"We don't need to prepare anything special. Just ordinary gifts will do. Anyway, we're not very familiar with them." And even if they prepared something, they didn't know if the couple would like it. So it's better not to get involved.
"Okay. Then let's investigate the Jiang family more carefully in the next few days." If we can avoid going to the Kingdom of Karls, we should. We'll be in an unfamiliar place there. It'll be difficult to deal with any emergencies.
"Okay, I know." Jing Xunchao replied.
The Jiang family was really cunning. Jing Xunchao and Mu Fengqie had mobilized all the people they could to investigate, but they still couldn't find any useful information. It seemed that they had to go to the Kingdom of Karls the day after tomorrow.
"Tomorrow is the wedding of the Prince of Wen. Do you think Yuan Yuchuan will do anything?" Mu Fengqie lay in Jing Xunchao's arms and asked.
"Yuan Yuchuan won't do anything. He wishes this marriage could succeed so that the Snow Feather Kingdom could be under his control. But I don't know if others will do anything." Judging from Yuan Yuchuan's attitude, he should have made careful arrangements.
"Okay, stop thinking about it. Go to sleep quickly. We'll have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
