Chapter 994: Fight side by side and never lose!

At lunchtime, when the restaurant is busy, the chef Jia Huan will not leave easily.

Li Laosan is even dozens of miles away and will not come back if nothing happens...

Jiayin didn't want her sister-in-law to worry about her, so she simply said a few words, made an excuse, and asked her to prepare two boxes of snacks for herself, and take them with her when she returns to the palace later.

Wan'er went to work quickly.

They all sat together and discussed the matter of borrowing food while eating.

Although each family has children and grandchildren in the Northern Expedition Army, in the final analysis, the interests of the family come first, and it is impossible to sacrifice too much for one child or grandson.

So, in order to successfully lend money and food, Li Yong had to go to see the emperor and ask for a handwriting, and Li Laoer also came forward together.

In this way, only when the military comes forward, the emperor appreciates the favor, and the Li family endorses it, will each family be willing to borrow food.

After the discussion was completed, Jiayin quickly returned to the palace with the snack box in hand.

In order to cultivate the relationship between his future son-in-law and his daughter, the emperor had previously decided to allow Lu Zong to enter the palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month to have a meal with the third princess and stroll in the garden.

Hearing that the good news was coming back, the third princess was worried about it and immediately had people lead the good news to the garden.

Jiayin saw that Lu Zong was also there, and then he remembered the date at the palace, so he smiled and said, "Oh, it's unlucky that I came back, and it delayed the important event."

The third princess blushed, pinched her fair face in a show-off manner, and said angrily, "When you find a husband in the future, I will laugh at you as hard as I can."

Jiayin waved his hands nonchalantly and said with a smile, "I don't know how many years it will take, but I'm not afraid!"

After saying that, she asked Shuiling to open the box and share the snacks brought by her family with the third princess and Lu Zong.

Lu Zong smiled lightly, raised his hand to pour tea for Jiayin, and asked, "Counting the days, Brother Li should have arrived, right? Have you sent a letter to your family?"

Jiayin shook his head and replied, "I haven't received the letter yet. It's a long journey, so I must have been delayed somewhere. But I've always been careful, so there's no need to worry too much."

Lu Zong nodded and said, "That day when I sent Brother Li away, he entrusted us to take more care of you. If you have something to do in the future, feel free to send someone to look for us. Don't be polite."

"Don't worry, Brother Lu. I will definitely trouble you less if I have something to do!" Jiayin smiled and leaned on the third princess's shoulder, "Before, you were like my brother, and from now on you will be my brother-in-law!"

The third princess's face turned even redder, and she stretched out her hand to scratch her itch.

Jiayin quickly begged for mercy, laughing so hard that the flowers were trembling.

Lu Zong also laughed when he saw it from the opposite side, lowered his head and took a sip of tea...

After a few jokes like this, Jiayin will return to Zhilan Palace and make room for the two of them.

Lu Zong said goodbye first, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first. I'll see the princess...and the princess sister next time."

The third princess was a little reluctant to part with her. She pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down for a while. I'll have someone stew some desserts. Your Majesty, please have a bowl before leaving?"

Lu Zong smiled and apologized, and replied, "I'm sorry, princess. I didn't know, you specially stewed the dessert...

“Yesterday I made an appointment with a friend to attend his birthday party tonight. When I first arrived in Xindu, he helped me a lot, so I couldn’t refuse..."

"Ah, then it's really hard for you to be absent, so go quickly. Next time you come over, you might as well have dessert with me." The third princess quickly stopped talking and urged Lu Zong to hurry up to the banquet.

Lu Zong smiled tenderly, bent down to salute, then nodded with Jiayin, and left.

The third princess also returned to Zhilan Palace with Jiayin on her arm. They talked about how good Lu Zong was all the way, which showed that her heart was completely broken.

On the other hand, I smiled and listened to the good news, always a little distracted.

The third princess found out and asked, "Are you worried about the Marquis and your father?"

Jia Yin came back to his senses and responded, "Do you also know that the army rations were destroyed?"

The third princess nodded, "After you left this morning, there was news in the palace. Later, Prince Lu came and said a few words to me.

"I don't know who committed the murder. I'm so hateful! I hope my father will find this person and cut him into pieces." Jiayin wanted to find the person behind the scenes more than she did, so she said, " In the past few days, you should help me and go to the Imperial Study Room more often, even if you can't see Uncle Huang, you can still hear some news. "

"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter. You don't need to tell me, I will help." The third princess nodded vigorously, then hugged her to comfort her, "Don't worry, the Northern Expedition is about the unification of Tianwu's north and south. I don't know how many people are worried and putting in a lot of effort. . Military rations will definitely be solved soon.”

Jiayin sighed, I hope so...

The entire Tianwu is now like a huge whirlpool. Once it spins, it can only spin faster and faster, and the exposed black holes will become bigger and bigger.

No one can predict when it will calm down...

After dark, after dinner, Jiayin returned to the side hall early on the pretext of having a headache, then let the little fox go out, and has been waiting.

Sure enough, at the third watch, the window was pushed open.

Mu Jue jumped in in a panic, took the teapot and started drinking.

Jiayin didn't say a word and quickly prepared food for him.

In the warm tea basket in the corner of the room, there were warm millet porridge and a dozen meat buns. They were all brought to the table. Mu Jue ate three or four in one go before speaking.

“Don’t worry, it’s not serious.”

Jiayin gave him new tea, nodded and said, "You eat first, no matter how urgent it is, it won't take more than this time."

This morning, when she was about to leave the palace and go home, she saw no sign of Mu Jue.

She thought he was delayed for something, but when she came home and heard that there was something wrong with the supplies of the Northern Expeditionary Army, she immediately guessed that he might have heard the news last night and went to inquire about it.

Sure enough, Mu Jue had enough to eat and drink, so he explained it to her carefully.

“At five o’clock, an urgent secret message came from the riverside. The emperor was in the imperial concubine’s palace, so there would be a lot of noise. I felt something was wrong, so I secretly went over to listen.

Then I went to the riverside pier again and made inquiries around Kyoto. "

He took a breath, and his usually bright eyes were a little dim, showing that he was very tired.

"This thing is very strange. It is indeed not the one from Shoukang Palace who did it. Her few scoundrels who have the ability to do anything in the army are all honest. They must also be wondering at this moment who took the lead.

“But the impact of this incident is extremely bad. A great victory in the Northern Expedition, the recapture of Jiangbei, and the unification of the country. Such great achievements are like a fat pig, surrounded by wolves, and everyone wants a piece of meat.

“Now some wolves have begun to speak, as if sending a signal, more wolves will join in the future. You can escape once, but no one can guarantee that everything will be safe every time..."

Jiayin had a bad look on his face. He raised his head and pointed in the direction of the royal study, and whispered, "Am I wrong? I don't think that person was too careful."

Mu Jue also frowned. The sly smile that often hung on his lips had long since disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

"I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Fortunately, you think so too. That person can't say he didn't care. He ordered a thorough investigation and re-collected military rations. He did it all. But it was just within the rules and he couldn't make any mistakes. But he just couldn't. A mistake is actually a mistake!”

Jiayin nodded, feeling finally relieved.

She doesn't want to think about the evil in people's hearts, but sometimes she has to think about it.

This is a heavy burden on her heart.

Fortunately, there are still people who think like her.

“Brother Mu, we will live in the palace permanently from now on. My adoptive father and my father are away at war, so we can’t help them, but at least we must try our best to protect them from being attacked from both sides.

“No matter who wants to do harm to them, I will not allow it.

“So, no matter what happens to us in the future, at least this time, I hope you can fight side by side with me and never lose anything!”

Jiayin stretched out her hand, Mu Jue lowered his head, glanced at her green fingers, and shook it without hesitation...
