The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 396 Secret Message
Ji Ruizhang said: "In the eyes of doctors, there are no men or women, only patients. This doesn't matter to me."

Chen Dongyan nodded: "That's good."

After Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji knew that Ji Ruizhang's job was finalized, they felt relieved and had a very happy dinner.

After dinner, Ji Yan and Chen Dongyan stayed for a while and then went back.

The two of them came again early the next morning and had breakfast with Ji Xianzhang, Mrs. Ji and Ji Ruizhang.

After breakfast, Ji Xianzhang and Mrs. Ji left. Chen Dongyan, Ji Yan and Ji Ruizhang saw them off together. They accompanied Ji Xianzhang and his wife to the city gate. They watched their carriage go away before the three of them went back.

Ji Ruizhang, Yao Ping and Steward Lin stayed.

Butler Lin was originally the butler of Ji Xianjiang, and Butler Chen was the butler of Ji Ruizhang. But when they came to Guiyang City, they only brought Butler Lin with them. Ji Ruizhang wanted to stay in Guiyang City, and now that he had the Ji Mansion, he needed a trustworthy butler, so Ji Xianzhang and his wife kept Butler Lin.

When Madam Ji and Ji Yan lived in the backyard, they added some maids and servants, and there were enough staff. Ji Ruizhang lived alone, so he didn't need too many people, so no new people were added.

The three of them returned to the Ji Mansion. Ji Ruizhang wanted to report to the recruit camp as soon as possible, so he sent Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan back directly.

Ji Yan was speechless, but didn't say anything. After talking to Ji Ruizhang for a few more words, she left with Chen Dongyan.

Chen Dongyan sent Ji Yan back to the Chen Mansion, and he went straight into the palace.

Qi Hengyuan's birthday is in two days, and the palace is also preparing. Yan Ning has been staying in Fengyi Palace these days doing needlework. In four days, she has basically done everything that needs to be done.

There are more than a dozen items of baby's shoes, socks, clothes, quilts, etc., big and small.

She devoted all her attention to this matter these days and ignored everything else. After finishing this important task, she called Mother Li over and told her about Qi Hengyuan's birthday in two days.

Two days of preparation is enough.

Since last year, Mother Li has prepared several large and small banquets. She has rich experience, and Yan Ning is not worried that she can't do it.

Yan Ning said, "Your Majesty's birthday banquet will be held in Guangren Palace in two days. It is close to the Imperial Garden and we can enjoy the flowers there. It just so happens that spring has arrived."

Mother Li agreed and went downstairs to take care of it.

Yan Ning made a detailed list of dishes and planned to show it to Qi Hengyuan when he came over at noon.

After the menu was prepared, Yan Ning activated his magical powers and found out what was happening in Jiang State and the border.

Uncle Jiang remained silent and the border remained quiet, but after much difficulty, the spies from Qi State sent back a secret letter.

This secret letter just arrived in Qi Hengyuan's hands.

Yan Ning narrowed her eyes and used her magical powers to look at the contents of the secret letter. Then she went to check on Rong Wanyin's situation.

Rong Wanyin had just entered the princess's mansion.

After Rong Wanyin was kicked off the carriage by Yang Qianyue that day, she was also angry, but she still needed Yang Qianyue's help, so naturally she did not dare to offend Yang Qianyue.

She returned to the inn to rest for a night, and went to the princess's mansion the next day to apologize to Yang Qianyue, but Yang Qianyue refused to see her.

When Rong Wanyin first entered the princess's mansion, she used her charm to seduce Shuanglu. When Yang Qianyue refused to see her, Rong Wanyin called Shuanglu out and asked her to help her speak well of her in front of Yang Qianyue. She also gave Yang Qianyue a gift. After that, Rong Wanyin came to the princess's mansion every time, knocked on the door, and presented gifts. Even if Yang Qianyue refused to see her, she would still come.

Sometimes frost and dew are used, sometimes not. After all, every time frost and dew appear, it will make Yang Qianyue suspicious.

The first time I called Shuanglu out, I let Shuanglu use the excuse that she met her by chance at the door to perfunctorily deal with Yang Qianyue. No matter whether Yang Qianyue believed it or not, she would not doubt anything. But it didn't work after too many times.

Rong Wanyin only called out that time. Her purpose was not to send a gift through Shuanglu, but to let Shuanglu help her speak well of Yang Qianyue.

With Shuanglu speaking well of Rong Wanyin in Yang Qianyue's ear, and with Rong Wanyin coming every day, Yang Qianyue gradually stopped being annoyed with Rong Wanyin. After all, Rong Wanyin didn't really do anything.

After a few days of perseverance, Yang Qianyue finally met Rong Wanyin. Rong Wanyin was very happy. When she saw Yang Qianyue, she smiled and presented today's gift to her, saying, "Princess Heyi, you are a generous person. Please don't bother with me."

Yang Qianyue accepted the gift and snorted, "Be careful with your words next time."

Rong Wanyin nodded without hesitation: "I will."

As he said that, he walked up to Yang Qianyue, took her hand, and chatted happily with her.

The two of them didn't talk about anything important. Rong Wanyin didn't mention Qi Hengyuan's birthday, let alone asking Yang Qianyue to take her into the palace. She had just reconciled with Yang Qianyue, so she definitely wouldn't mention it now, but she would definitely mention it tomorrow.

Yan Ning retracted his magical powers, went out and walked around the yard, then activated his magical powers again to find out what was happening in the imperial study.

In the imperial study, after Qi Hengyuan received the secret letter sent back by the spy, he immediately opened it and read it. After reading it, his face slightly froze.

It was a little unexpected, but also seemed natural.

Chen Dongyan happened to enter the palace, and Qi Hengyuan handed the secret letter to Chen Dongyan.

After reading it, Chen Dongyan raised his eyebrows in jealousy.

He returned the secret letter to Qi Hengyuan and said, "Your Majesty, the Jiang Kingdom still refused to give up and sent an envoy here before, but we stopped him outside the city. They knew that if they sent an envoy openly, he would not be able to enter Guiyang City, so they sent him secretly. If it weren't for this secret letter, we would not have known that the envoy of the Jiang Kingdom had already entered Guiyang City."

Qi Hengyuan said coldly: "It's useless even if you come."

He placed the secret letter on the table, called Wang Dehou in, and asked him to summon Yang Xiaoli into the palace.

Yang Xiaoli quickly entered the palace and went to the imperial study.

Qi Hengyuan showed the secret letter to Yang Xiaoli.

After reading it, Yang Xiaoli was shocked: "The envoy from Jiang State is here again?"

Qi Hengyuan said in a deep voice: "The secret letter said that the envoy's surname is Rong, and her name is Rong Wanyin. She is the third daughter of the Rong family. She brought two people with her, a maid and a coachman. The maid is Xiangqin, and the coachman is a secret guard under Uncle Jiang, named Xiqiu. These three people set out after the New Year and should have arrived in Guiyang City half a month ago. But we have not received any news from the envoys of the Jiang Kingdom. After they came to Guiyang City, they did not reveal their identities. I am afraid they have ulterior motives."

"Take the Silver Guards to secretly investigate these people. Remember, don't alert them. Find out when they arrived in Guiyang City, what they did after arriving in Guiyang City, and who they came into contact with."

Yang Xiaoli was fully aware of the importance of this matter and did not dare to be careless. After agreeing to it, he immediately left the palace and mobilized the Silver Guards to conduct a secret investigation.

Qi Hengyuan used his inner strength to shatter the secret letter, threw the powder into the brazier, and continued to review memorials.

After noon, he went to Fengyi Palace, saw Yan Ning, pulled her into the room, and told her about the matter.
