Chapter 266 Sending a letter back to Beijing

However, in the process of research and development, it is inevitable to encounter some puzzling and unsolvable problems. Whenever this happens, Qi Xingyun will go to Qingshan Village in person without hesitation, respectfully invite Xiaocaoer and Old Lady Yang to the county town, and ask them for help.

As for why they always invite Old Lady Yang along, the reason is actually very simple - Xiao Cao'er has grown into a graceful young lady now, and if she were to go to the county town alone with Qi Xingyun, it would be a little inappropriate, wouldn't it? So, in order to avoid unnecessary gossip and trouble, it would be safer to invite Old Lady Yang along.

On the other side, Yun Er, who had returned to the capital with a letter, was anxiously waiting in the imperial study. He looked exhausted, dusty, and his clothes were a little messy. His lips were so dry that you could see traces of blood.

He sat aside, chewing the cakes handed to him by the eunuch beside Gu Zhong, and desperately guzzled cups of tea. The journey was too hasty. Normally, even if he rode at full speed, it would take him six days to reach the capital, but this time he only took four days to get back to the city.

He knew his master's temperament very well. If it wasn't for something extremely important and urgent, he would never let him deliver the letter in person. Moreover, he was the one who specially escorted the letter this time, which was enough to prove that the letter was of great importance.

When Yun Er entered the palace, the eunuch beside Gu Zhong hurriedly reported the matter to Gu Zhong. The emperor was very surprised after hearing this: just the day before, he had just received a new type of grain called "potato" sent back to the capital by his uncle. How come someone was sent back just one day later? Could there be something more important than this? With full of suspicion and worry, the emperor hurried back to the imperial study after leaving the court.

Seeing the emperor walk in with a swift pace, Yun Er, who was eating cakes leisurely, immediately threw the cakes he had not finished to the side, wiped the cake crumbs from the corners of his mouth with his hands, and rubbed his hands on himself two or three times. After doing all this, he reached into his arms and took out a letter that looked a little wrinkled. Then, he held the letter in both hands respectfully, carefully handed it to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the letter that the master ordered me to send back at full speed."

The emperor nodded slightly to show that he understood, but his eyes did not fall on the letter. He first looked up and down at the slightly embarrassed Yun Er, then turned to look at Gu Zhong beside him, and said slowly: "Well, looking at your appearance, I know that he has been traveling all the way here. Gu Zhong, quickly go and have someone prepare some food for him, and then properly arrange a place for him to rest for a while. I will ask him questions later when I finish the things at hand." After speaking, the emperor gently raised his hand and signaled Gu Zhong to do it.

Yun Er waved his hands repeatedly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, before leaving, the master specifically told me to wait for your reply here. There is no need to rest. Please ask the chief steward to bring me two more plates of snacks and a pot of tea."

After the emperor heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, then he turned to look at Gu Zhong and said slowly: "Then do as he says."

Speaking of this little uncle, the emperor has a very close relationship with him! Especially the people around the little uncle, the emperor is very familiar with them. Back then, those crucial secret guards were carefully selected by the emperor, and specially arranged to be by the little uncle's side to protect his safety. Moreover, since they grew up together, they know each other very well, and even their temperaments are clear to the emperor.

At this time, the emperor was holding Qi Xingyun's letter tightly in his hand, and he was looking at it over and over again. This envelope was tightly sealed, it was perfect, and it was completely different from the letter that Potato sent last time. The letter that Potato sent last time didn't even have an envelope, but what about this letter? Wow, it was sealed so well that even a speck of dust wouldn't be able to get in!

Finally, the emperor could no longer suppress his curiosity and carefully opened the envelope. However, when he saw the contents of the letter, he was stunned! His eyes, which had been bright and sharp, were now as big as bells, and his face was full of disbelief. With trembling hands, he read the letter from beginning to end several times, and he still couldn't believe what he saw. Afterwards, the emperor paced back and forth in the imperial study as if he had lost his soul, and kept muttering to himself.

After a long while, the emperor came back to his senses and shouted to Gu Zhong who was standing beside him: "Gu Zhong, go and invite the emperor here quickly! Tell him that I have some fresh pastries and invite him to come and have a taste!"

"Yes, sir. I'll go right away!" Gu Zhong did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After responding, he hurriedly walked towards the door.
