With that, she bowed to Nangong Yi, bumping her head against the ground repeatedly. Her veil fell off after a few bows, revealing her tear-stained little face. She looked delicately pitiful and charming.
"Your Highness, I beg you not to blame my father, I beg you..."
She muttered, looking at Nangong Yi with her tear-streaked little face in a distressingly pitiful manner. She seemed so delicate that a gust of wind could knock her down!
Nangong Yi had grown up in the deep palace, excelling in intrigue. He easily saw through Shen Furong’s act and simply couldn’t be bothered dealing with such a clown.
He waved his hand dismissively and said with some impatience, "Forget it, I will spare him this once. You may go now!"
"Thank you, Your Highness King Qin!"
Shen Furong prostrated herself again, retreating with utter dejection.
Once outside, she saw the high arresting officer of Shen County, who was glaring at her in cold contempt. His gaze sent shivers down her spine.
"Second Miss, how come I didn’t know that the lord of the county had ordered you to serve His Highness King Qin in the army?"
Shen Furong barely managed to say, "This... was secretly entrusted to me by my father. No one else knows..."
The arresting officer laughed enigmatically, "So it is!"
His laugh terrified her. She knew that Shen Luming no longer regarded her as his daughter. If he found out about her actions in the military camp, he would undoubtedly kill her. She was still young; she didn’t want to die...
An ordinary horse carriage stopped at the entrance of Yushu County City. The coachman called out to the person inside the carriage.
Cai Wei woke up from the space. She quickly came out after hearing his call.
The journey was monotonous. She couldn’t endure the dullness as soon as they left Qingyun Town. She reckoned the coachman was honest enough and wouldn’t suddenly lift the curtain of the carriage. So, she boldly entered the space.
Now that the area of the space had expanded, many empty plots made her feel heartbroken. Therefore, after entering the space, she busied herself with planting crops with Chang Mei. They planted a lot of grains and vegetables, and many herbs in the forest.
These crops and herbs were prepared for his army.
At present, he was leading the troops in battle, and soldiers were bound to be injured on the battlefield. Jin Guifei, with her poisonous mind and selfishness, disregarded the lives of tens of thousands for her own gain, secretly sabotaging the supply line of the Northern Expedition Army. Medicines for trauma and hemostasis were in such short supply. If the Northern Expedition Army were to fight the Meng slaves, countless soldiers would die from insufficient medical treatment rather than the enemy’s swords and spears!
Since the size of the space had greatly increased, Cai Wei and Bai Mei spent quite some time planting those crops, including corn, wheat, sorghum, soybeans, and more. In anticipation, she planned to send these along with the herbs to Lingbei when the crops matured.
She had lunch in the space. To reward Chang Mei and The Great Immortal Turtle for burning Tianjizi’s head to ashes in the furnace, and to thank Brother Parrot for his many trips back and forth delivering letters, she personally prepared a splendid lunch. It included fish-flavored shrimp balls, crispy camphor tea rabbit, traditional Chinese kung pao chicken, refreshing green bean sprouts, sautéed snow peas with bacon, and so on...
After enjoying the sumptuous lunch, she returned to her bedroom and slept soundly. Since she would be riding the white fur tiger all night, she needed to rest as much as possible to stay alert!
She was so tired from planting fields in the morning that her sleep lasted until evening. She was called by the coachman only upon their arrival in Yushu County City. Reluctantly, she emerged from the space.
The streets of Yushu County City were as bustling as before, but they no longer seemed as splendid in Cai Wei’s eyes.
She remembered when she first visited Yushu County City, everything looked new and fascinating. But after living in the Capital for a few months, she realized that Yushu County wasn’t that big or good after all. At most, it was a passable small county town.
