“Are you stupid? He’s that girl’s grandfather.” The third prince disapproved.
In the past few years, Mr. Big had done his best to assist him, and he had benefited greatly. But no matter what, Song Wangyue was also Grand Sir’s granddaughter, and if Chu Yunxiao was found at the border, Song Wangyue would not be able to get away with it, and Grand Sir would not be unaware of this.
“Mr. Big does not know that the master has been looking for someone in private, you can say it is someone else.”
The Grand Prince thought for a moment and nodded, “You call someone here.”
Mr. Big quickly came over and bowed to the Third Prince, who personally held him up, “I have said that you do not need to bow every time.”
“The salute must not be invalidated.”
Mr. Big was respectful.
The Third Prince could not help it and let him sit down, “Today I have a matter to ask for Mr. Big’s help.”
“Go ahead.”
“I’ve learnt today that I have an enemy in the border city, and I want to take my men there to arrest him, but I’m afraid of attracting attention with all the fanfare.
The great gentleman stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, “It is indeed inappropriate for you to go there, why don’t you send someone to send a letter to General Shen over there and ask him to arrest him for you.”
“This ……”
The third prince and Shen Yan had never dealt with each other before, and now that he was in a disgraced body, Shen Yan did not necessarily buy his account.
Mr. Big seemed to know his concerns and said, “Even though you have been relegated to Youzhou, you are still an imperial son, and Shen Yan will not fail to sell you this favor.”
“Is there no better way?”
“There is one, but it is very risky.”
“You tell me.”
“You go in disguise and disguise to take people to the border city, but this is a very dangerous move, with serious consequences if they are discovered.”
As long as he could capture Chu Yunxiao, he could afford even the greatest consequences, the Third Prince made an immediate decision, “Just the second one.”
The Great Mister walked out of the courtyard and glanced back, coldness in his eyes.
After three years of contact, he understood what kind of person the Third Prince was, once such a person took that position, the people of the world would not have a good time.
If the emperor protects him, the other princes will come around; if not, the third prince will have no hope of fighting for that position.
Thinking of Song Wan Yue, the hand behind Mr. Big’s back tightened, then loosened again. That girl could become famous in just a few years, so I’m sure she would have a way to deal with the third prince as well.
……
Song Wan Yue wandered up to the door of the general’s residence, the gatekeeper looked at her, his eyes wide, he had been on guard after the door was opened in the morning, he didn’t see anyone go out ah.
“Good morning.”
Song Wangyue greeted him.
The janitor responded dumbfounded, and it was only when Song Wangyue walked in that he came back to his senses, rubbing his own head own wondering if he had left the doorway.
“Miss Song.”
The maid assigned to serve Song Wangyue ran over quickly. Last night, Song Wangyue had sent her to bed early, but when she went to serve her early this morning, she found that Song Wangyue was not in the house.
“Where have you been? The slave servant has been looking for you all morning.”
“I slept too much yesterday, and I couldn’t sleep a bit at night, so I went out for a walk early.”
Song Wangyue lied without changing her face.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that you’re back, breakfast was prepared long ago, Madam and the General are waiting for you to go over for dinner.”
Song Wangyue went to the dining room.
Shen Yan and Ming were waiting with Shen Ya, and when they saw her enter, Ming ordered someone to set the meal, while Shen Yan sized her up.
Song Wan Yue let him look at her and sat down without changing her face.
Shen Yan withdrew his gaze, “The pharmaceutical house is ready, you can go there after dinner, I’ll be busy these days, so I won’t accompany you, I’ll transfer Captain Song to your post.”
“Many thanks, General.”
Ming didn’t know Song Yin’s true identity, but she thought that Song Yin was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so if she allowed him to accompany Song Wan Yue, it would inevitably lead to gossip, and was about to remind her when she heard Shen Yan raise his voice, “Go and send a message to Captain Song, tell him to come over after dinner.”
The attendant answered and left at a fast pace.
Ming then swallowed her words.
Shen Yan flashed his big eyes at Shen Yan, “Father, can I go with my sister?”
Being looked at by his daughter in such a way, Shen Yan’s principles were almost gone, but he was able to stop in time the moment the words of promise were out.
He gently stroked his daughter’s head, “Sister has important things to do today, not to play, Ya’er cannot follow.”
The little person was not annoyed and nodded her little head in a very understanding manner.
In front of Song Wangyue and Ming, Shen Yan instructed him to take Song Wangyue to the pharmaceutical clinic.
Song Yi and the five others rode not far behind.
The Medicine House was not very far away, only three streets away, and was a disused mansion that had been temporarily converted, with a large quantity of medicinal materials in several rooms.
Shen Yan had sent dozens of people to guard it, and when the man in charge saw Song Yin and Song Wan Yue coming, he hurriedly saluted, “Lieutenant Song, Miss Song.”
Only after shouting did he realise that the two had the same surname, and couldn’t help but glance at Song Wan Yue, who didn’t look even remotely like Song Yin, so it seemed that they weren’t family, but just happened to have the same surname.
The two of them nodded and dismounted, following him inside. Inside, there were a dozen other people, all sent by Shen Yan to give Song Wan Yue a hand.
After looking at the herbs, Song Wan Yue gave these people a division of labour: there were those who sorted the herbs, those who cut the herbs and those who ground the herbs into powder.
All of them got busy with their work.
They were all soldiers from the barracks, so they worked very quickly, and in just one hour, they had finished a lot.
The stove was built in a larger room.
Song Yin went in with Song Wan Yue and skilfully lit the fire to boil the pot, while Song Yi and the others stood at the door, staring at each other.
They always had the feeling that there was a tacit understanding between this Captain Song and their Dongjia that they could not tell. It shouldn’t be, but it was the first time that their boss had come to the border and the first time that he had seen Captain Song.
Song Yin didn’t care about the gazes of several people, and skillfully helped Song Wan Yue. Compared to three years ago, he was now much more skilled at burning fires, and when Song Wangyue needed a big fire, he would make a big one, and when he needed a small one, he would make a small one immediately, making it impossible for Song Yi and the others to find a chance to help.
Song has always felt that this is not good, at least he is a lieutenant, how can he be allowed to burn the fire?
“Dong, Dongjia.”
“No matter.”
Seeming to know what he was going to say, Song Wangyue interrupted in a voice, “You guys keep an eye on the situation outside, don’t let anyone come near.”
Song Yi and the others also knew the importance of the matter, so they answered and lined up all the way, guarding the entrance.
For several days in a row, the pills were made in batches and shipped to the military camp.
At the same time, the Third Prince and his party also entered the border city.
For fear of attracting attention, they did not inquire, but found a crowded inn and soon learned from the customers where the medicine house was located, and that a lieutenant called Song Yin accompanied Song Wan Yue every day.
