After a pause, Ji Qiwei couldn’t help but say, “The Shao family is really amazing. If it weren’t for our spy accidentally discovering him, Shao Zhongxi would have found him first.” To be honest, he admired the Shao familys determination.
The Ji family did not have any news about Emperor Shu. They had relied on following the Shao family’s people to find a big clue and find this secret guard.
As long as this secret guard woke up, he would immediately torture him to see if he would confess.
“Not only do we have to keep an eye on them, but we also have to send people to secretly search the route from the capital city to Lingshan Town. Now that we know the route, we have to send more people there.” Consort Yi said. “If we can’t find him even with this, then we’ll have to expand our search range on this line. Didn’t the old man who was killed say that he was covered in blood at that time? Even if he hid Emperor Shu, he should at most be around this area and not go anywhere else. In case that fool can’t be cured and can’t tell us directly, we can’t let the Shao family find him before us.”
“Don’t worry. Father has already thought of this and has already sent someone.” Ji Qiwei said.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, didn’t you say you wanted to go with us to plant the rapeseed? Let’s go then.” Xue Erfu picked up two dung baskets while waving his large hand at Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
It was already the day to transplant the rapeseed. Many families in the village had already transplanted the rapeseed. Some were still planting it today. It just so happened that it was cloudy today, so it was not easy to make rice noodles. Even if they did, they would not be able to dry them quickly. Therefore, their family planned to transplant the rapeseed seedlings to their land.
“Alright.” Xue Yan hurriedly carried a basket on his back. In the basket were his and Jiang Yue’s small shovels. Then, he held Jiang Yue’s small hand and brought Jiang Yue along to quickly catch up with Erfu.
His father and brother would be there too.
His father also carried two manure baskets with a carrying pole. There were also small shovels for transplanting rapeseeds in the manure baskets.
His elder brother carried two buckets. If it rained, of course, it would be good. They would not have to go through the trouble of carrying water to water it. However, he was afraid that it would not rain, so he still carried a bucket and planned to water it just in case.
His father and the others had already taken time to tidy up the fields over the past few days. In fact, they could transplant the rapeseeds at any time. Jiang Yue obediently followed Xue Yan and the others to the fields.
However, she still turned around to look at home.
At home, Liu Guixia was in Yu Hongyan’s room, teasing Xue Shi. Yu Hongyan was almost out of confinement, and her body was starting to feel more energetic, but Liu Guixia still tried not to let her out of the room. She wanted her to really do a full month of confinement. When Xue Shi was one month old, she would follow Yu Hongyan wherever she wanted to go and would no longer stop her from going out.
Li Hehua went to the small room at the back to talk to the Empress.
The two of them were both pregnant, so they had more things to talk about. In addition, the Empress liked to talk to Hehua as well. In short, these days, Hehua would go to the back when she had nothing to do. Sometimes, she would go on her own accord. Sometimes, the Empress would send Zi Cui and the others to invite Hehua over.
The Empress had been here for ten days. In the first few days, she had to lie down every day and rarely got up. Now, she could get up and sit up. It was just that her body still needed a long time to recuperate. She was not in good condition, but she was in good spirits. She was much more cheerful and had a smile on her face every day.
The Empress was especially good to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. Every day, she would ask Zi Cui and the others to make delicious snacks for Jiang Yue and Xue
Yan to eat. It was a little like how Hehua treated them..
