"Well... He should have come back while you were taking a bath," Jing Xunche said after thinking for a while.
Mu Fengqie was silent for a moment. "Okay."
After the two of them finished breakfast, Jing Xunche disguised himself. After all, he had quietly returned from Wupian Mountain, and it was better not to let others find out.
Jing Xunche and Mu Fengqie took a carriage to a mountain outside the capital. It wasn't far from the capital, so there were a lot of people there.
"Qie'er, close your eyes. We'll be there soon," Jing Xunche said, covering Mu Fengqie's eyes.
Mu Fengqie curled her lips and smiled. She walked forward with Jing Xunche trustingly.
After walking for a while, Mu Fengqie felt Jing Xunche stop. Just as she was about to open her eyes, Jing Xunche stopped her. "Wait a little longer. It'll take a bit more time."
Mu Fengqie obediently closed her eyes again, waiting for the surprise Jing Xunche had promised.
Jing Xunche looked back at Mu Fengqie, then walked around the area. After making sure there was no danger, he returned to Mu Fengqie's side.
He had discovered this place when he was suppressing the bandits in Wupian Mountain.
Moreover, he had found a place that Mu Fengqie would definitely like.
"Okay, open your eyes. You'll definitely like it," Jing Xunche said, standing in front of Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie slowly opened her eyes and found herself standing on a meadow.
"What's so special about this place?" Mu Fengqie asked Jing Xunche curiously.
"Just walk forward a bit and you'll find out," Jing Xunche said mysteriously, looking at Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie glanced at Jing Xunche and walked along the path. As soon as she entered, Mu Fengqie felt something was different. What did she see here?
So many herbs!
"My goodness! How could there be so many herbs here? How did you find this place?" Mu Fengqie asked Jing Xunche in surprise.
"I just passed by here by chance. Since I found this place, I've always wanted to bring you here to take a look. Although I don't know if these herbs are useful to you, I think they should be quite important to you," Jing Xunche said seriously, looking at Mu Fengqie.
"Jing Xunche, you're amazing. I like this place so much," Mu Fengqie said excitedly, looking at Jing Xunche. "These herbs are really great." And there were also some rare herbs.
It was just that Mu Fengqie had been in the capital for so long and had passed by this place many times, but she had never noticed these herbs.
"Since you like it, I'll find someone to take these herbs back and put them in your pharmacy," Jing Xunche said, looking at Mu Fengqie.
"Okay," Mu Fengqie said. Looking at the large expanse of herbs in front of her, she was already extremely excited.
The two of them stayed there for a whole day. At noon, they had a picnic there. Considering Mu Fengqie was pregnant, Yuan Yuhan was directly asked to send food over.
When Yuan Yuhan came, his whole face was gloomy, and he kept muttering and scolding.
"I said you're really going too far. You come back, but why do you have to bother me?"
"It's nothing. I just want you to keep an eye on the people in the capital. Qie'er won't be in the capital for the whole day today," Jing Xunche said, looking at Yuan Yuhan.
"Humph! Do you know that you can be considered a deserter in the army like this? You'll have to be punished," Yuan Yuhan said unhappily, looking at Jing Xunche.
"I believe you won't betray me. And I'm just coming back for one day. I'll leave tomorrow," Jing Xunche explained.
Yuan Yuhan looked at the sky. It was still early, so he sat down and chatted with Jing Xunche.
"How's the situation over there?" Yuan Yuhan asked.
"I can only say that it's a stalemate. Now both sides are in a state of truce," Jing Xunche explained.
"It seems this will be a long - term war," Yuan Yuhan sighed.
"Maybe you can take this opportunity to clean up the people in the court," Jing Xunche suddenly thought of this and told Yuan Yuhan directly.
Although Yuan Yuhan agreed with this method after hearing it, but... "Won't it be too dangerous for you then?"
Yuan Yuhan disagreed a bit. The situation on Jing Xunche's side was already very tense. If more people were sent there, he would be in great danger.
"I think the matters in the court can be dealt with slowly. There's no need to rush," Yuan Yuhan said.
"Don't worry. I have a feeling that this matter will be a long - term war. Taking this opportunity, we can give the court a thorough purge.
And even if the emperor notices something, he won't have any reason to say anything." After all, the people were sent by him. If they made mistakes and something went wrong, who could be blamed?
Yuan Yuhan couldn't argue with him, so he had to agree. "But this matter has to be done slowly. We can't make too much of a stir." It wouldn't be easy if the emperor found out.
"So I'll leave the matters in the capital to you," Jing Xunche said, looking back at Mu Fengqie who was preparing the food. "And you have to take good care of Qie'er's safety for me."
"You can rest assured on this. But there are some things I need to tell you in detail.
We've already figured out the internal structure of the Jiang family, and I've already sent people to infiltrate. It won't be long before we can find the place where the Jiang family hides their things," Yuan Yuhan said.
Yuan Yuhan told Jing Xunche in detail about the Jiang family. After hearing this, Jing Xunche was a bit surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.
"What are you going to do?" Jing Xunche asked.
"I haven't thought it through yet. But Fengqie has already stabilized the Jiang family on her side. If we take action, we must wipe out the Jiang family completely. We mustn't give them a chance to catch their breath," Yuan Yuhan said. Through this in - depth understanding, he already knew that the power of the Jiang family couldn't be underestimated.
"If you encounter any difficulties, go to find An Ye beside Qie'er," Jing Xunche said.
An Ye had the token of the Dark Pavilion. As long as there was any danger, An Ye could go to the Dark Pavilion to ask for help.
"I know. Alright, I won't bother you two anymore. I'll leave first," Yuan Yuhan said, patting the dust off his body and then turning around to leave.
"How was your chat?" Mu Fengqie came over after seeing Yuan Yuhan leave.
"It was okay. Just some casual talk," Jing Xunche said, rubbing Mu Fengqie's head.
Mu Fengqie didn't care what they had talked about. She and Jing Xunche had come out today just to have a good time.
The Jiang Family in the Capital
Li Jiaojiao had been hiding in the Jiang family for the past few days and didn't dare to go out. Since she was framed by Mu Fengqie that day, as soon as she went out, a large group of people would block her.
