Why did the Prince urge Ye Changsheng to focus on his studies, if not because he knew Ye Jiu couldn't let go of the Ye Family? So, he made plans early on!
Unfortunately, Ye Jiu still kept to herself and remained unmoved.
Because no one knew better than her that once her mother was set on something, it was hard to change her mind.
Moreover, even if she were dragged into it, could she and her mother interact as naturally as before?
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the Prince could only sigh and decide to leave for the time being, giving Ye Jiu time to calm down.
Ye Jiu heard the Prince leaving.
The moment the Prince stepped out, Ye Jiu climbed out of bed, swiftly shut the door with a snap, and then locked it.
The Prince turned his head, looked at the door that had been closed behind him, and couldn't help but smile wryly at his helplessness.
Sure enough, even if she acted mature most of the time, she was still a child. Hurt, upset, displeased, she would act pettily!
The Prince had been worried about Ye Jiu's coma all this time and hadn't yet had time to deal with the affairs of this post station.
Just as the Prince stepped out the door, someone came to report, "Prince, the assassins are tight-lipped; we couldn't extract the mastermind's name, only two are left alive."
"If we can't find out, then kill them all," the Prince's tone was filled with coldness.
These people, trained as assassins from a young age, are impervious to all kinds of torture.
Moreover, they only act on orders, and probably don't even know who their master actually is.
So, questioning them is futile.
However, these people dared to harm Ye Jiu, which is simply unforgivable.
"Disembowel them!" the Prince added sternly. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
If they dared to injure his daughter, he would make them pay back a million-fold.
However, the guard didn't leave immediately but continued to report, "It seems, the assassins were targeting the sweet potatoes, which have all been poisoned and have turned black and rotten."
Unlike grain, sweet potatoes are hard and non-flammable; the assassins must have come prepared with potent knowledge of sweet potatoes.
The revelation made the Prince even more curious about who the perpetrator could be.
Sweet potatoes have an incredible yield; if it were a foreign power, they would likely steal the sweet potatoes quietly instead of deliberately destroying them.
But if it were someone from Dongyue, why only target the sweet potatoes?
Could it be, just to keep the people of Dongyue living in hunger and cold?
Who on earth would be such a despicable scoundrel, begrudging the common folks a better life?
In the room, Ye Jiu took a long time to calm herself down and then went into the "plane" to keep herself busy.
In the middle of the night, with no one to turn to, Ye Jiu had no choice but to bother Luo Ranran.
After all, Ye Jiu had previously lived in a modern plane; although different, the cultural levels were similar, so the two had plenty to talk about.
Luo Ranran was a night owl, and coincidentally, she was online. The moment Ye Jiu sent a message, she replied immediately.
Luo Ranran: "Sister, I've already sent you the grains you asked for. Just accept them, and you'll be set. To gather these grains for you, I'm still in the countryside. I've been out all day, covered in grime, haven't even had the chance to shower, go check the grains, and I must clean up and get some sleep. We can talk more tomorrow…"
