When Ning Yue heard this, she knew that something was wrong. Could it be that she hadn’t wiped her tracks clean last night, leaving behind evidence?
“I’ve never been to the capital. It’s so far away from here. How can I come back in one night?”
Jiang Ying frowned. The security of the general’s residence was very tight. After the incident, he was also very curious about who had done it, so he sent someone to investigate.
“After the incident at the general’s residence, I sent someone to investigate. They found some medicinal powder by the side door of the general’s residence. That medicinal powder can cause hallucinations. As far as I know, only Doctor Gu can make such medicinal powder in the entire world,” Jiang Ying said.
So it was just a deduction. Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief. “You said it yourself. Only my master can make that medicinal powder. Perhaps someone else bought it from my master.”
Ning Yue spoke righteously. Jiang Ying had only deduced that this matter had something to do with Ning Yue. After hearing Ning Yue’s words, he felt that he might have made a mistake.
“I’m sorry, but the general’s residence has also found the medicinal powder and the Ning family village. For your safety, I have to ask. It’s good that it’s not you.”
Jiang Ying’s words touched Ning Yue’s heart.
“What if it’s me?” Ning Yue asked tentatively.
“Even if it’s you, why should you be afraid? I’ll take care of everything. If I can’t settle this matter, then I’m incompetent.”
Boom…
The iceberg in Ning Yue’s heart melted at that moment. This feeling was indescribably strange.
“Don’t worry. It’s such a long journey. Even if I travel at full speed without sleep or rest, I won’t be back in a night.”
Under Ning Yue’s repeated emphasis on the distance, Jiang Ying changed the topic. “Why are you looking for me?”
“I’ve brought you some seeds for crops. This thing has a low cost and a high yield. It’s drought-resistant and can be harvested in a few months. Do you want to try it?” Ning Yue took out the potato seeds.
She could take the potatoes out of her space, but after some thought, she decided not to. She would think about it after he planted them.
If she said too much, it would arouse suspicion.
She might as well think of a way to slowly guide him when he encountered difficulties in planting.
Jiang Ying took the seeds and looked at them. He had never seen these seeds before. “Where did you get it?”
“My master obtained this by accident. If you cultivate it and calculate the cost, we can sell it. We’ll sell it to a place that lacks food to do a good deed.”
Ning Yue had learned from Gu Yu that Jiang Ying was so poor because he wanted to support the soldiers at the border.
Every time the army at the border was short of food, Prince Jin would reach out to Jiang Ying to ask for more. This way, they would be able to solve the problem of the lack of food.
“Thank you.” Jiang Ying looked at the bag of seeds in his hand in a daze.
If this thing was really as Ning Yue had said, and could be harvested in a few months, then the army of hundreds of thousands would be full.
“By the way.” Jiang Ying suddenly recalled something. “The palace plans to invite your master into the palace to take a look at the emperor’s health during the empress dowager’s birthday.”
“His Majesty? Aren’t there imperial physicians?” Ning Yue frowned.
His master didn’t like people from the palace. He probably wouldn’t accept this invitation.
“In recent years, the emperor’s health has become very poor. Even the imperial physicians are helpless. That’s why I plan to invite your master to take a look. When the time comes, we’ll enter the capital together,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue neither agreed nor refused. “I’ll ask my master when I get back. If he needs me to go, I’ll go.”
She wanted to enter the capital to take a look. The Empress Dowager’s birthday was a good opportunity, but she had to see if her master was willing.
“Alright, then go back and ask. If you’re willing, we’ll go together.”
Ning Yue nodded. After exchanging a few words with Jiang Ying, she returned to the Ning family village.
What Ning Yue didn’t expect was that a group of strangers would visit the Ning family village.
“Mom, what’s going on?” Ning Yue pulled Madam He to the side and asked.
“These people are from the general’s residence. They want to see you,” Madam He said.
“Seriously, why did they suddenly come again? How did they know that we were settled here?”
The thought of Ning Yue’s suffering in the General’s residence made Madam He feel terrible.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had never traveled far apart from this desertion, she would have long run to the capital and burned down the general’s residence.
