Chapter 413 Zhou Wuwei's Letter
As the weather gradually warmed up, the entire Ningchuan Prefecture became bustling with activity. Official roads were being repaired, houses were being built, people's living conditions were being improved, and city walls were being repaired. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
One day, Ye Jintang was looking at the test papers of the female medical apprentices when a gray carrier pigeon flapped its wings outside the window.
When Luzhu saw this, she hurried to bring the pigeon letter into the house.
"Whose letter is it? I see the carrier pigeon is in such a mess. Luzhu, give it some pigeon food and let it rest for a few days before it flies away."
“It is inaction.”
As soon as Luzhu saw the wax seal on the bamboo tube, she recognized it as Zhou Wuwei's work.
"It's also difficult to do so."
Taking out the letter, Ye Jintang couldn't help but be amazed at the neat small calligraphy on it.
She had seen Zhou Wuwei's handwriting before, and it was as vigorous and flamboyant as his personality.
Who would have thought that after not seeing him for half a year, he had actually mastered beautiful small calligraphy.
A small piece of paper was filled with densely written words.
Fortunately, Ye Jintang has good eyesight, otherwise he would have been dizzy.
This letter from Zhou Wuwei brought Ye Jintang a lot of information.
He first said that he was sent to suppress bandits before the New Year and made some contributions. After the New Year, he was sent to fight horse bandits and made some small contributions again.
Seeing that he had made great contributions in suppressing bandits, Emperor Jing allowed him to enter the palace and serve as a small leader of the imperial guards.
"It happened that Emperor Jing was about to appoint Xiao Yi as the crown prince, and most of the palace guards were replaced by General Ding."
"It seems that Emperor Jing did not trust Xiao Yi that much. He replaced the imperial guards to guard against Xiao Yi and his son, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."
"The task that the queen assigned to me was also successfully completed. Gu Congyun is finally pregnant and has been pregnant for more than two months."
Zhou Wuwei told Ye Jintang in detail some of the things he knew. At the end, he said that he missed Ye Jintang very much after being separated from her for several months.
Ye Jintang didn't think much about it and just thought it was just a polite remark from his younger brother Zhou Wuwei.
She picked up her pen and wrote a reply to Zhou Wuwei.
He was told to be extremely careful when moving around the palace, saying that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, and one could lose one's life if one was not careful.
At the end of the letter, Ye Jintang wrote that he was fine and asked Zhou Wuwei not to worry.
After writing the letter, Ye Jintang did not rush to send it out. Instead, he folded it and placed it on a small table, waiting for Zhou Wuwei's carrier pigeon to recover before letting it fly back.
At noon, Xiao Mo came back to have lunch with Ye Jintang. As soon as he entered the room and sat down, he saw a carrier pigeon on the small table.
"Who sent this letter?"
"It was written by Wuwei. He is now serving as a member of the Imperial Guard in the palace."
Xiao Mo picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. At first, he didn't pay attention to the carrier pigeon on the small table.
When he heard that it was a letter from Zhou Wuwei, he picked it up and read it without thinking.
Zhou Wuwei has always been thinking about Ye Jintang.
Sure enough, at the end of the letter, Zhou Wuwei blatantly said that he missed Ye Jintang.
"Zhou Wuwei is doing pretty well. He entered the palace as a guard at a young age.
"Yes, I always thought that he would have to spend a year or two in the South Camp to gain experience before he could achieve anything."
"I didn't expect him to fight so hard. He wasn't afraid at all when he followed those veterans to fight bandits. What would he do if he ran into those vicious bandits?"
Ye Jintang was also helpless when this matter was mentioned. She knew very well why Zhou Wuwei would fight so hard. In Zhou Wuwei's heart, she was still his master. He wanted to climb higher, and only if he had power in his hands could he help her.
When Xiao Mo heard Ye Jintang worried about Zhou Wuwei, he felt so jealous.
"This is Zhou Wuwei's choice. If he wants to be a leader, he must endure hardships. Otherwise, he will never stand out."
"What's the matter with this Gu Congyun being pregnant? If I remember correctly, Gu Congyun is Xiao Yi's concubine. Could it be Wu Wei?"
Xiao Mo only saw the literal meaning, and he thought that Zhou Wuwei was having an affair with Gu Congyun and was cheating on Xiao Yi.
"What are you thinking? I sent a pigeon to Wuwei a letter years ago asking him to keep an eye on Xiao Yi, especially since Gu Congyun has not had any children. This is quite strange."
"I guess Ye Yanran did something again, so I asked Wuwei to find a way to pass some health-preserving medicine to Gu Congyun so that she can get pregnant as soon as possible."
"In this case, Ye Yanran's attention is all in the backyard, and she has no time to think about us."
"I see. I was wondering why Zhou Wuwei suddenly became so bold."
Ye Jintang and Zhou Wuwei had been exchanging letters quite frequently, but Xiao Mo had no idea about it and he was so jealous.
"Jintang, you are pregnant now and need to rest. If Zhou Wuwei has anything to say, just contact me directly. There is no need to trouble you again."
Looking at the sour Xiao Mo, Ye Jintang couldn't help but laugh softly.
"It's just a few letters. It won't tire me to read them."
"Your Majesty, why do I feel like you have overturned all the jealous people in our palace? I can even smell a strong smell of vinegar in the room."
Xiao Mo admitted it openly without hiding anything.
"I just don't like you to have correspondence with any man other than me, even Zhou Wuwei is no exception."
"No, from now on, anyone who sends you a message by carrier pigeon should use a female pigeon. Male pigeons are not acceptable."
"There are also Snowball and Flame. I remember they were both male. I'll find a doctor to drown them both later."
Xiao Mo's arguments were so convincing that Ye Jintang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of nonsense was this?
"Stop talking nonsense here. Xiao Yi has been appointed as the crown prince. Aren't you worried at all?"
"There's nothing to worry about. I received news that Prince Zheng has arrived in the capital. The two will definitely face off. We just need to wait and see."
"Aren't you afraid that King Zheng will dethrone Xiao Yi from the position of crown prince and become the emperor himself?"
"If King Zheng really does this, that would be great. Then I can directly return to the capital under the banner of saving the emperor and seize the throne. No one can blame me for anything."
Now Xiao Mo is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Only when the world is in chaos will he have a chance to turn things around.
"Your Highness has a very clear understanding of the situation. From your perspective, if Prince Zheng does not raise an army in the capital, how can he escape unscathed? I'm afraid the Emperor will not let him go easily."
"It won't be difficult for Prince Zheng to escape unscathed. I guess he will leave the Crown Prince in the capital as a hostage. As long as the Crown Prince is there, the Emperor can rest assured."
Speaking of Prince Zheng, Ye Jintang still had a deep impression of him.
In the original novel, Prince Zheng stayed in the capital and suffered humiliation, especially from Xiao Yi.
He knew that Emperor Jing disliked Prince Zheng. In order to please Emperor Jing, he relied on his status as the crown prince and did not take Prince Zheng's son Xiao Fei seriously at all. He often bullied him for fun.
Xiao Fei is also an extremely patient and ruthless character. He is a hostage in the capital and has basically become a discarded pawn of King Zheng.
But even under such circumstances, after King Zheng ascended the throne, he was still named the crown prince.
