After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 176 The Seed Doesn't Sprout

For four or five days, things remained quiet. Qi Yunran helped Xiao Jingxuan consolidate the knowledge he had learned each day, while also taking care of her own seedlings.

Sometimes I go back to check on the vegetables I planted to see if they have sprouted.

They were incredibly relaxed and carefree!

Pei Yuanjun acted mysteriously every day, as if he were on some kind of errand.

Every day, unfamiliar faces come to him to report something.
Of course, he wouldn't hide it from her, but Qi Yunran had no interest in what he was doing.
Her soul was captivated by the vegetable seeds she planted!

Why haven't they sprouted yet?
Should we add some water?
Should we still fertilize?
Why are they different from what she used to grow?
After Pei Yuanjun had screened all the children aged three to ten in Qingtan County for several days, he finally found a child whose father was unknown and who had been born out of wedlock. The child was five years old this year.

Time, and the emperor, who was still a prince at the time, was given a potent aphrodisiac. His secret guards found him a peasant girl who happened to be his match.

At the time, everyone was only thinking about saving the emperor, who was a prince at the time, and no one cared about the life or death of the peasant girl or what she looked like.

The boy's mother was also drowned several years ago after giving birth to him.

The child became an orphan and was taken in and raised by an old beggar.

Pei Yuanjun ordered that the boy be sent back to the capital immediately so that the emperor's physicians could examine him.

The guards were ambushed and killed several times along the way.

Finally, it was the royal guards who were dispatched and brought the child back to the capital!

Pei Yuanjun had finally put his mind at ease, but then he discovered that his wife was distracted in everything she did.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Yunran rolled her eyes at him: "No, I have to go to town and ask that shopkeeper! Did she sell me fake seeds?"

He immediately changed his clothes, and Pei Yuanjun felt that he was being completely ignored by Qi Yunran.

Qi Yunran came out: "Pei Yuanjun, you stay home and take care of Xiao Jingxuan. I'm going to the landlady in town to ask why those seeds aren't sprouting!"

Without waiting for Pei Yuanjun's reaction, he immediately headed towards the village entrance. Just then, Shi An suddenly returned with something to report.

Pei Yuanjun withdrew his gaze and returned to his study: "Speak!"

"Reporting to the young master, the black-clad assassins from that day seem to be people from the High Priest's inner circle! Although they acted cautiously, our secret guards still managed to find clues about them."

"Smack... Tell someone to keep an eye on him!" He slammed the teacup down heavily.

The mere mention of the High Priest filled him with a deep-seated loathing. There was no reason; he simply hated him and wished he could kill him.

In order to find out the reasons, he had people keep an eye on him from the moment he returned to the Pei family.

Why would the high priest, who had been inactive all along, frame and ruin his wife?

He was certain that they didn't know each other at all!
Now that he knew it was the High Priest who wanted to harm Qi Yunran, he was filled with murderous intent: "Send down the order: the person disguised as the Great General of the Nation, cut off the High Priest's 'one leg'!"

“Yes…” Shi An accepted the order and left.

Everyone believed that he returned to Peijiawan Village because he relied on the emperor's favor!

Little did he know that it was the Emperor himself who had ordered him to return.

They were searching solely for an iron ore mine within Qingtan County, from which a large quantity of weapons could be produced. This was the very foundation upon which the Louqu Kingdom depended for its survival!
On the surface, he was ignorant of the rules and arrogantly disregarded the emperor, leading to numerous impeachments by censors. However, behind the scenes, he was handling matters of national security for the emperor, such as searching for the whereabouts of the iron ore mine.

The emperor's secret orders to summon him back to the capital were all a smokescreen.

However, places with iron ore deposits are barren, and no such place was found in Qingtan County.

Qi Yunran arrived in town and went to the seed shop.

The proprietress told Qi Yunran that the seeds would take seven to ten days to germinate and that the soil should be kept moist.
