After two more days, the great gathering ended.
As soon as Yun Chunnuan returned to the residence, she was pulled back into the room by the man.
First, he handed a few land deeds to his little wife. Yun Chunnuan opened them and was overjoyed, "Husband, you’re amazing!"
Good heavens, she had originally planned to persuade the King at the Royal Palace to acquire two barren lands in the east of the city, but her husband was so impressive that he managed to get all the barren lands around the Royal City?
Just like that, he gave them to her?!
Moreover, the owner listed on the land deeds was ’Yun Chunnuan’!
When she wanted the grassland, the owner of the land deed was her husband.
"It’s not that I’m amazing, it’s that my wife is amazing! I just placed the vegetables and fruits you grew in front of that old man, and he relented. Hah, and he had the nerve to mention my mother, saying the sweetest grapes she ever tasted were in the Western Regions..."
What Yelyu Lie didn’t say was that the old man indeed relented, but the issue of the land deed ownership wasted a whole day.
Husbands and wives are one entity, writing his name wasn’t really a problem.
But he couldn’t accept it; why should his wife’s efforts result in no benefit for her?
Why should the credit belonging to her have a name that’s not hers?
"Wife, the term on this land deed is only three years, but I assure you, it will always belong to you, this is just a temporary arrangement."
This land belonged to Bianliao, yet it was listed under the name of her, a Princess of Great Xia.
Yun Chunnuan didn’t know how he managed it, she didn’t even dare to think.
Although it’s only three years, her husband’s deep love for her couldn’t be expressed even in thirty or three hundred years!
She wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips, "Husband, thank you! The years don’t really matter, but I’m really touched! How can you be so wonderful?"
Yelyu Lie clenched the slender waist of his little darling, lifted her, and brought her onto his thigh.
"Don’t be too happy just yet, there’s one more thing."
"What is it?"
Seeing his serious expression, Yun Chunnuan’s heart tightened.
"The man in white who appeared at the gathering the day before, did he come today?"
Yun Chunnuan shook her head, "No, why?"
Yelyu Lie’s expression was grave, "The Regent King of Great Xia left the Central Plains two months ago."
"Two months? That long?"
"Yes." He said solemnly, "But someone is impersonating him in the Imperial City, entering and exiting the Imperial Palace daily. If you hadn’t suspected something that day, and I hadn’t sent people to investigate, I really would have been deceived by that bastard!"
Yun Chunnuan didn’t understand a bit of the court’s intrigue and deception.
She couldn’t figure it out, "Didn’t he already decide to come to Bianliao as an envoy of Hocheon? Why would he need someone to replace him in the Imperial City? Wouldn’t it be exposed?"
Yun Chunnuan really wanted to ask, Husband, is your information reliable?
After all, her husband seemed naive, without deep schemes.
How could the schemes of a cunning old fox like the Regent King be easily uncovered by him?
But... she dared not say, fearing the man would explode.
That would completely belong to not trusting his abilities...
Yelyu Lie wasn’t a fool. His little darling’s voice of doubt made him a bit displeased, "You don’t trust me?"
Yun Chunnuan coughed lightly, "It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that my husband is straightforward, always thinking of defending the country, how could he reach so far?"
Yelyu Lie showed a trace of embarrassment, "Am I really... that dumb?"
"Straightforward, straightforward!" Yun Chunnuan comforted him like coaxing a child.
"Alright, it’s true that I didn’t organize it personally..." Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t lie to his little wife.
He’s not straightforward, he’s straightforwardly dumb!
Simple-minded and foolish!
"Mother?"
Yelyu Lie nodded, "You should know that Mother was a dancer in the Western Regions, right? Actually, it’s not true; Mother is an elder of the ’Yecheng Bureau’."
"Yecheng Bureau?" Yun Chunnuan recited the name, it seemed familiar.
She suddenly searched through Little Princess’s memories and found it!
"Isn’t it the most famous Hidden Guard organization on the Qingxuan Continent? Specializing in gathering all kinds of intelligence, reportedly there’s nothing they can’t investigate in this world?"
The original owner had personally visited a well-known brothel in Great Xia. People said she was outrageous, but in fact, she went to find out about that Regent King.
The person was clearly under her nose, yet she knew nothing about him.
