Chapter 882： Prepare

"Guangdong Yamen and the sea division sent ships to look for them, but the best sea ships were driven away by the grandfather of the country. There were pirates at sea, and they didn't dare to go far. They searched nearby, but there was no news at all. ," Defu cried: "Xia's housekeeper looks wrong, so he will report to the emperor and the prince, and he wants to ask the sea division of Fuzhou to find someone, but the Guangdong yamen sent officers and soldiers to surround our mansion, and we are not allowed to When people came in and out, Butler Xia said that they were afraid of taking responsibility and that the emperor would blame him, but when the grandfather of the country disappeared at sea, it would be easier to find someone a day earlier, so Butler Xia asked people to take money out and buy guards at various side gates. The officers and soldiers released four messengers in a row, saying that as soon as they went out, they would find a way to come to the capital to deliver letters to the princes and princesses. Because the servants often inquired about news on the streets of Guangzhou, they went to the slums as soon as they went out and changed into beggars’ clothes. He used the money to hire a bunch of beggars on the street to help him out of the city gate."

"The minion walked for a long time before going to the next county town to buy a horse. Because it wasn't very good, I traveled day and night. It took six days to get to the outskirts of the capital. The horse was exhausted. As a result, after walking a few steps, the messenger who was rushing to deliver the letter caught up behind them. There were three of them, and one of them gave up a horse to the little one, so that the little boy could rush to the palace to deliver the letter."

Defu looked at the princess eagerly, and asked, "Madame, can the prince dispatch the sea master from Fuzhou to rescue our lord?"

Mu Yangling asked, "Why do you have to dispatch from Fuzhou? It is said that Chaozhou is closer to Guangzhou, so it should be faster to dispatch troops from there."

Defu smiled wryly, "But there are no big boats there. The servants heard from the officials that only Fuzhou has a large sea boat that goes out to the sea. This time Guangdong got a new one, and the grandfather was happy to go aboard and test the boat in person. Otherwise it can't happen."

"How many days' supplies are there on board?"

Telfu didn't know and shook his head.

Mu Yangling got up and said, "Then you can rest. I'll have someone send you back to the Duke's Mansion. Now your Mrs. Xia lives in the palace. She is pregnant, so I can't tell her about it."

Telford repeatedly said yes.

Mu Yangling turned around and went back to the inner courtyard, called Wang Ma and Lichun Guyu, and whispered: "My lord and I are not at home, you have to take care of the inner courtyard, Wang Ma, you can deal with the affairs in the mansion, but not if you can't. Just ask Mrs. Xiao Xia, I have to hide the matter in the front yard from her, I don't care whether you are blocking it or lying, if anyone rushes in front of her and the children and leaks it, I can't forgive her."

Everyone is busy.

Mu Yangling called all three children and said, "There is a big incident at the border. Your father and I, or, Xiao An, your fourth uncle and I are going on a trip..."

The three children cheered and asked, "Then can we sleep by ourselves?"

"Stop the nurse's vigil."

"It's great, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are not at home..."

Mu Yangling twitched the corners of his mouth, slapped the table fiercely, and said with a stern face: "No matter what you want to do, if you dare to cause trouble, even if I'm not at home now, I'll take care of you when I come back. I remember I taught you two days ago. There's an idiom called Autumn to settle accounts, right?"

Hutou angrily accused his mother, "The people who settle accounts after the autumn are not good people!"

Xiao An and the little lion nodded heartily.

Mu Yangling snorted coldly, "I am not a good person, I am happy, I am happy to settle accounts with you after the autumn."

The three children could only look at her angrily, Mu Yangling said: "But if you are obedient, don't cause trouble, and accompany your little Aunt Xia, I will reward you when you come back, Xiao An, your mother is pregnant with your brother. , If you are not in good health, you should be more obedient and not make your mother angry, you know?"

Xiao An said: "Fourth aunt, my mother is lenient and won't be angry."

The veins on Mu Yangling's forehead jumped, but this was not the time to fight with the child, she said arbitrarily: "I will tell your little brother, if you are not obedient, I will let the royal aunt take you all into the palace. Go inside and close the small dark room."

All three children shrank their necks. They have never been locked in a small dark room, but their mother often threatened them to be locked in a small dark room, so this is a very scary thing for them.

Mu Yangling saw that they were finally quiet and satisfied, and asked someone to lead them to the backyard, and went to explain to Xiao Xia himself.

She also used the words to explain to the three children, she said: "If there is a major incident at the border, the lord must go to see it in person, but he passed out with anger and rage, I really don't worry, so I have to follow it to see, the family will be there. Please, sister-in-law, I will go to the palace in a while, and ask the empress to take care of you more. If you are undecided, you can ask someone to greet the empress, and if you are embarrassed, you can ask your aunt to make up your mind."

"Fourth uncle fainted?" Xiao Xia asked concernedly, "Is he alright?"

Mu Yangling smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just that I was too worried before, and I haven't rested well. When I heard that there was an accident at the border, I was in a hurry and fainted all of a sudden."

Xiao Xia knew that Mu Yangling was different from her. She had heard her husband say that she had been in the battlefield when she was in the Northland before, and she was not without envy. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave the children to me, and then With Wang Ma Lichun and the others taking care of them, everything will be fine."

Mu Yangling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had no doubts.

Mamma Xia looked at Mu Yangling, her eyes flickered, she was not a little Xia clan, she thought more.

Qi Haoran can't change his face in the face of thousands of troops, but what happened at the border gate could make him so angry that he fainted?

What's more, the prince was training troops in Qiannan before, and the training was generals. There is no shortage of generals in the court to lead troops to fight. It is not necessary for the prince to rush in such a hurry, and he even asked the princess to follow him. Why hide from the lady?

Unless that incident can shock the madam, it is useless for madam to raise a child, but madam never cares about state affairs, unless the country is destroyed, what else can shock her?

The answer circled on the tip of Xia's tongue, her heart was beating violently, her hands and feet were cold, and when Mu Yangling got up and left, she smiled with Xiao Xia: "Madam, I'll go see the princess."

After talking for a long time, the little Xia Shi was a little sleepy. Hearing the words, he nodded quickly, "Go quickly."

Mu Yangling was careful, until he walked out of the yard and found a secluded place for people to retreat, "Mother Xia, do you have something to tell me?"

Mammy Xia knelt on the ground and asked, "Mother, but something happened to my father-in-law?" She looked up at Mu Yangling, and said, "Please also ask the maid to inform the servants, and the servants should prepare early. "

Mu Yangling watched Mammy Xia's mind turn around, and it took a long time to say, "Sister-in-law is pregnant, so I can't tell her about it."

"Don't worry, madam, the maid will not let the maid notice anything strange," he added: "The maid told the maid, and the maid should cover it up better. No one is more familiar with the temperament of the madam than the maid."
