In an inconspicuous courtyard in the Chu capital.
Leng Haoyu sat in the study with a gloomy expression. Murong Ting walked in with a cup of ginseng tea. When she saw the green shadow under his eyelids, she couldn't help but frown. "What happened? Why are you in such a difficult situation?"
Last night, Leng Haoyu had been acting strangely after receiving a letter. He didn't sleep the whole night and just sat in the study in a daze. If it was a few years ago, Murong Ting would have grabbed him and scolded him. However, after being married for a few years and living together, Murong Ting's impression of Leng Haoyu was no longer the idle playboy. Moreover, after becoming a wife and mother, her temper had obviously improved a lot.
Putting the ginseng tea on the table, Murong Ting looked down at the letter on the table. Leng Haoyu didn't intend to hide it from her. He opened the letter and placed it on the table. It turned out that it was a letter sent by Lenghuai from Zijing Pass. Zijing Pass was now in urgent need of provisions, but the imperial court was busy with major events. Prime Minister Liu's faction and Prince Li's faction were in full swing, so no one paid attention to the letter sent by Lenghuai for help.
Murong Ting frowned and sneered. "Does Eunuch really think of us as a national treasury? He doesn't even know if you have the ability to ask for a hundred thousand dan of provisions. Where are we going to get it for him? "
It was naturally not difficult for Leng Haoyu to get a hundred thousand dan of provisions, but that was the property of the Prince Ding Mansion. It was not something that Leng Haoyu could use at will. Moreover, although the outside world knew that Leng Haoyu had been doing business outside for a few years, it would be strange if they weren't targeted by people from all walks of life if he casually gave out a hundred thousand dan of provisions. The Prince Ding Mansion and the Da Chu State no longer had anything to do with each other. Without Prince Ding's personal consent, who would dare to use provisions to support the Da Chu State's army?
However, Murong Ting also understood Leng Haoyu's dilemma. No matter how much Lenghuai ignored Leng Haoyu, he was still Leng Haoyu's biological father. Murong Ting also felt conflicted about the Da Chu State. Leng Haoyu was a member of the Prince Ding Mansion, so Murong Ting was naturally a member of the Prince Ding Mansion. However, her father, Murong Shen, was a general who guarded the borders of Da Chu State. They were of the same bloodline. How could it be so easy to cut them off?
Looking at her husband's haggard and tired appearance, Murong Ting could only sigh helplessly and comfort him, "We have already sent the news to the northwest. I think the Prince's Consort will reply soon. Father-in-law's side won't be unable to hold on for a few days. "
Leng Haoyu forced a smile. He leaned against the chair and reached out to hold his wife's hand on his shoulder. He apologized, "I've made you worry." Murong Ting rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about? We're husband and wife. If I'm not worried about you, who am I worried about? If you have the time to sit here and worry, you might as well have a good sleep. What if Prince Ding gives you some orders? You won't be able to handle it even if you're tired. "
Leng Haoyu smiled helplessly. How could he not understand the logic? It was just that the person who was experiencing the rain of swords and spears on the battlefield right now was his father. Although his father only had his eldest brother in his eyes since he was young, it was undeniable that in his heart, he had always longed for his father's recognition. That was why he and Feng San became good friends. They both longed for their father's gaze and recognition but had never received it. It was just that Feng San was more carefree and more decisive than him.
"Reporting to Young Master Leng, Prince's secret letter has arrived." Someone outside the door reported in a low voice. Leng Haoyu stood up in surprise and said loudly, "Come in quickly!" He didn't know what Prince's decision was, but he hoped to know the result as soon as possible. The man outside the door whispered a sealed letter and then left. Leng Haoyu opened the letter and read it ten lines at a glance. A trace of joy flashed through his eyes.
Murong Ting only needed to look at his expression to know that it was a good result. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although she hated the Leng family, she didn't want them to die. At least, she didn't want Lenghuai to die like this. Otherwise, Leng Haoyu would definitely be sad. Leng Haoyu finished reading the letter and raised his head. Murong Ting asked, "How is it? What did Prince Ding say? "Leng Haoyu thought for a while and said," Ting 'er, go to Marquis Muyang's residence in a while. Just like the Leng family, Marquis Muyang's residence has outstanding military achievements for generations. Now that the border is in danger, it's time for them to contribute. "
Murong Ting frowned and said, "Marquis Muyang has already had the intention to retire in the past few years. Can Yaoji persuade him?" Leng Haoyu sneered and said, "If he can't, isn't there still Muyang?" Murong Ting nodded and said, "I know. I haven't seen Marquis Muyang's Heir Consort for some time. I'll get someone to send a letter over later."
Leng Haoyu nodded and smiled, "There's another good news." Murong Ting raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
Leng Haoyu said in a low voice, "Prince and Princess will be coming to the capital in a few days." Hearing this, Murong Ting was shocked. "At this time, Prince and Princess …" Leng Haoyu laughed in a low voice, "Li City has Mr. Hongyu and Young Master Qingchen overseeing it. Outside, there are generals and hundreds of thousands of Mohist army stationed. Where can't Prince and Princess go? Prince and Princess plan to bring the Little Heir back to sweep the tombs of the previous kings. In addition, didn't they say that Mo Jingqi is about to die? Prince said that he wants to send him off. "
Since Prince Ding and Li 'er decided to come, they naturally had plans for their safety. Thinking of Ye Li who she hadn't seen for a few years, Murong Ting's brows also showed some joy.
Yaoji hadn't been in the Chu capital for long. At most, it had only been half a year. But in this half a year, she had successfully turned herself from a lonely woman with a child into the most favored concubine of Marquis Muyang's Mansion. Although there was no lack of Prince Ding Mansion's forces paving the way for her behind the scenes, it also showed that Yaoji's skills were outstanding.
Now, the son she gave birth to was the eldest grandson of Marquis Muyang's Mansion and Muyang's only son. Just this alone was enough for her to stand tall in Marquis Muyang's Mansion. Yaoji wasn't a high-profile person. Even if she was favored, she wasn't domineering. This made Marquis Muyang's wife, who originally looked down on her background, unable to find any weakness. This made Marquis Muyang's wife so angry that she almost broke her teeth. She only regretted that she didn't kill this scourge back then. Unfortunately, Muyang was very protective, and Yaoji wasn't a kind and ignorant person. After entering the mansion for a few months, the two had fought several times, and Marquis Muyang's wife didn't have the slightest advantage.
Yaoji's clothes were languid in front of the window. The colorful clothes on her didn't have the slightest sense of vulgarity. It only made people feel that she was beautiful. It was nearly 30 years old, but she was still beautiful and intoxicating. A handsome child of six or seven years old sat beside her, quietly and obediently reading a book. Yaoji lowered her head and looked at him with eyes full of affection and heartache.
Of course, this wasn't really her child. Her child would still stay in the northwest and live an ordinary life. He would have a pair of loving parents and would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. He wouldn't know that he had a father who was Marquis Muyang's son, nor would he know that he had a mother who used to be a dancer. That was good. This child was naturally not an ordinary person. He was a child raised in Prince Ding Mansion. The Shadow Guard who originally guarded the Prince Ding Mansion for generations was selected and trained from such children. Now the Shadow Guard system was gradually changing, but it still needed some special people to carry out some special tasks. This child in front of her came with Yaoji this time. After getting along with him for half a year, Yaoji sincerely treated this child as her own and loved him. She couldn't raise her own child by her side, so she was especially soft-hearted to other children.
