Chapter 1444: Chapter 1441: Decision
Chu Heng pulled her to sit down on the soft couch nearby and explained gently, “The battle in the Northern Region is nearly over. A treaty with the Northern Barbarian Region is about to be signed, and the Emperor is preparing to send envoys.”
“Really?” Ye Muyu was sowhat happy. “It’s great that there will be no more war; it is always the common people and soldiers who suffer.”
She could see the impact just from the capital.
Chu Heng, understanding her temperant, pondered, “The Emperor might send over there, to collect evidence of Duke Zheng collaborating with the Prince of the Northern Barbarian Region. If I leave, I can’t be at ease with you and Nuanbao staying in the capital.”
“But, will the Emperor agree to let leave?”
Ye Muyu was considering the situation from the Emperor’s perspective.
In fact, Chu Heng was too worried. It would be better for her to stay in the capital and find ways to ensure their safety, rather than leaving and risking implicating their ho village.
Moreover, if Emperor Xuanming valued Chu Heng as a subject, he would also protect her and Nuanbao.
Unless even the Imperial Palace was unsafe, their lives would be in danger.
But she believed that no matter how powerful Duke Zheng was, he could not surpass the imperial court.
Ye Muyu shared her thoughts with him and pinched his cheek, “Ah Heng, don’t worry about , okay?”
“I just don’t want any mistakes,” Chu Heng said, fearing what might happen if he was far away and sothing went wrong. How could he protect her then?
Ye Muyu kissed him on the lips.
Gently coaxing, “Before you leave, you can make arrangents for and Nuanbao. As for Mother and Father, simply find a way to celebrate an ancestor’s birthday and have them stay. Great Chu values filial piety above all, and Nuanbao is just a child, so his hundred-day feast should be postponed.”
“Alright,” Chu Heng’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. Holding her, letting her lean against him, he nodded in agreent after a while.
Ye Muyu quietly accompanied him, not saying much.
After a while, Ye Muyu asked, “Ah Heng, do you know when you’re leaving?”
“Probably in half a month.”
“In that case, the reply from our ho village should be written first and sent over by the Scout Team.” For the sake of caution, Ye Muyu would send ssages both ways – ordinary news via the rchant team and secret ssages concerning the Liu family via the Scout Team.
When dinner was finished, Chu Ziluo spoke to Ye Muyu, “Mother, do you know about the Huo family matter?”
“The disappearance of the young master of the Huo family?”
Ye Muyu had always had soone observing the Huo family, as well as the Liu family for safety. Chu Ziluo wasn’t aware, and the Scout Team was known only to herself, Chu Heng, and Su i.
“Ziluo, how did you find out?”
Chu Ziluo explained sowhat bashfully, “Ever since the last banquet, I’ve been worried about Ms. Huo, so I’ve been having the maid who handles our purchases from the capital gather interesting news. This afternoon, the maid happened to ntion the disappearance of the young master of the Huo family.”
“I didn’t act rashly. Fortunately, in the evening, the young master of the Huo family returned with Ms. Huo.”
“Disappeared in the morning and returned by evening.” Ye Muyu touched her chin and looked at Chu Heng.
Their eyes flashed with understanding.
Seeing their expressions, Chu Ziluo suspected they knew more than she did. She parted her lips slightly but ultimately didn’t ask.
Instead, Chu Heng turned to her and said, “Ziluo, it’s good that you’re collecting information and not acting rashly. You’re still young and shouldn’t get involved in these matters. If you really want to do sothing, always discuss it with your elders first.”
