Chapter 312 Reward
"What?! This old guy actually dealt with it so quickly? With the current situation of the Ye family, there shouldn't be many informants in the capital, let alone investigating it so quickly. Could it be that Hua Yinzi went to the investigation office in Beijing?"
In the bedroom, Concubine Xian heard that the matter in the restaurant was perfectly resolved, and she immediately cursed in anger.
Chuntao was a little scared. After all, she thought of the method, but she didn't get any good results. Let alone a reward, she was thankful that she wasn't punished.
"My servant has checked. None of the well-known investigation teams in the capital have received their entrustment. The other small ones who have never heard of their names probably don't have the ability to investigate the palace."
She pursed her lips and said, "On the contrary, Mr. Liu, who is next to the Third Prince, went to the Zhanran Building when it was closed."
"Liu Xiang?"
Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes, "I checked him before, but those people were very strict. No matter how I asked, they only said that Liu Xiang loved to eat food from Zhanranlou, and even drank wine only from Zhanranlou. But this time The Zhairan Building is closed, what else is he going to do?"
Chuntao thought for a while: "Is it possible that he really likes Zhairanlou's food, so he can't bear to see anything happen to Zhairanlou?"
"Hmph, how could a person like him get into trouble just because of a little food? There must be something fishy in it."
She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, "I didn't expect that the Ye family would have helpers... Prime Minister Liu, what a good Prime Minister Liu, he let him go before, don't try to escape easily this time!"
Soon, she ordered people to collect Liu Xiang's flaws. As long as it was an issue that could be discussed, she recorded it. She was just waiting to have enough accumulated to have those ministers with whom she had made friends report directly to the emperor. Read his book.
After doing this, she asked someone to test Liu Xiang's attitude, but she still couldn't see any flaws.
"This Prime Minister Liu is really cunning... No wonder the third prince wants to keep him. Even the ministers of the previous dynasty couldn't find much problem with him. I personally checked and couldn't find anything useful."
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth, "In that case, don't blame me for killing you."
Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun left the capital and rushed to the north. The road was relatively safe and they did not encounter any ambush. However, there was only one safest and most convenient route, and they would inevitably run into the third prince.
So they had no choice but to hurry up and speed up towards the north.
Ye Qingran didn't know how to drive, so Chu Qingyun was driving the horse most of the time. Fortunately, he had strong martial arts skills and very good physical fitness, so he could drive day and night.
But Ye Qingran was worried about his health, so he would also give him some medicine to nourish his mind and body at night, and let him sleep deeper during rest to relieve fatigue.
The two of them were running on the road day and night. Although they were indeed faster than the Third Prince's men, their bodies were also at their limit.
Within a few days, Ye Qingran began to feel dizzy and physically weak. When she touched her forehead, it turned out that she had a fever.
It was windy last night, and I hadn't had a good night's sleep in several days, so it was understandable that my body couldn't bear it.
At this time, Chu Qingyun was still driving outside. She didn't know what happened in the car, so she didn't bother him. She just took some medicine from the space and gave it to herself, and then prepared some cold-repelling medicine for Chu Qingyun. medicine.
When Chu Qingyun took a rest in the evening, he discovered that Ye Qingran was asleep in the car, his face a little red.
He noticed something strange about her, and stepped forward to touch her forehead, which felt a little hot.
It wasn't long after she took the medicine. Ancient medicine didn't work that quickly. The fever hadn't gone away yet, but it was much better than at the beginning.
Chu Qingyun first covered her with a tiger fur blanket, then sat next to her and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Perhaps he was too tired, so he fell asleep soon after closing his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Ye Qingran was already preparing medicine beside him, and he even boiled hot water at some point.
"Are you awake? Let's eat something first."
She handed him the dry food and a cup of hot tea.
Chu Qingyun took the things and asked: "Are you feeling better? It looked like you were a little feverish before."
"It's okay. I've taken medicine and I'm much better. But you, being blown in the wind and snow all day long, no matter how healthy you are, you have to pay more attention."
But he didn't pay attention to what she said, he just felt a little guilty: "I was too impatient. I shouldn't have been traveling day and night like this."
He looked at her and said distressedly, "Why don't we change the route? Now that the Third Prince's men have been thrown away by us, they won't be able to meet each other for a short time. It's the same if we change the route, so we don't have to rush in such a hurry. ”
"It's okay, just carry on as usual, it's nothing."
Ye Qingran sat next to him, "Why don't you take the time to teach me how to drive or ride a horse, so that we can take turns and you can rest more."
"Driving may seem simple, but it's actually a tiring job. You have to keep your eyes on the road ahead. It's windy outside, and your health is not as good as mine. If you get sick again, I will feel even more guilty."
Chu Qingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I've been running outside a lot these years, so this bit of wind and snow is nothing."
Ye Qingran wanted to say something more, but he suddenly stood up.
"I remembered that I haven't fed the horse yet, so I need to go out first."
After saying that, he directly opened the curtain and left the carriage, and went out to feed the horses.
Looking at his back, Ye Qingran understood that he didn't want her to continue persuading her, so she had no choice but to say nothing more.
When I was looking for fever-reducing medicine in the space, I also found a small bottle of medicine that could strengthen the body. At this time, I just took it out and gave it to Chu Qingyun.
It's just that this medicine is powder, and it smells a little fishy. It will definitely be hard to drink when washed with water. It's definitely not good to eat it directly. Why don't you put it in pickles and give it to him.
With this thought in mind, she uncorked the bottle and sprinkled the medicine into the pickles.
But unfortunately, Chu Qingyun happened to open the curtain and come in. He just froze at the door and watched her add medicine to the pickles.
He was a little surprised, but didn't ask anything.
Ye Qingran didn't know why when he saw him like this. He obviously didn't do anything wrong, but he just felt a little embarrassed.
After a while of silence, she explained: "These are some medicinal powders for strengthening the body, but they don't taste very good. I thought it was too unpleasant to drink when washed with water, so I simply put them in pickles..."
Ye Qingran rarely eats pickles on weekdays, and only Chu Qingyun eats some, so this medicine is obviously for Chu Qingyun.
"it is good."
Chu Qingyun still didn't say anything, but nodded as usual.
Seeing that he didn't ask a question, Ye Qingran felt guilty: "Let me taste the pickles for you to see if they have changed."
As long as you eat it yourself, you won't be misunderstood, right? she thinks.
But as soon as she raised her hand, she was stopped by Chu Qingyun.
