Chapter 271 In broad daylight
Prince Chu's Mansion, living room.
Shen Wanying, who had just returned from the palace, was not in a hurry. She asked the servants to prepare ginger soup, and she drank it while waiting for Chu Ning.
Near noon, footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Chu Ning stepped in and saw Shen Wanying drinking ginger soup. He raised his eyebrows, walked up to her, took her hand and asked:
"Wanying, are you catching a cold?"
Feeling Chu Ning's concern, Shen Wanying smiled slightly, and the two dimples on her face exuded a charming temperament.
"It's nothing. I just stayed at the gate of the palace for a while last night. I was worried that I would catch a cold, so I came back and asked someone to prepare some ginger soup."
As she spoke, she called out to the outside of the hall, "Xiaoqing, go to the kitchen and bring some ginger soup for His Highness."
Chu Ning pulled her to sit down and chuckled, "Is it okay for you, King?"
Ginger soup is very spicy.
But Shen Wanying glanced at him and shook her head, saying, "You were out for a long time last night, you might have caught a cold, drink the ginger soup first."
As she spoke, Xiaoqing brought in the ginger soup.
Looking at the ginger soup being handed to him, Chu Ning rolled his eyes and prepared to run away.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wanying brought the ginger soup and placed it in front of him.
Others may not know Chu Ning's personality, but how could she not know it?
Chu Ning showed a smile that was uglier than crying, touched his nose, and said with a wry smile: "Can I not drink it?"
Shen Wanying said calmly: "What do you think?"
Shaking his head, Chu Ning took the ginger soup, took a look at it, then closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.
After all, it was Shen Wanying's gift, so I had to drink it no matter how bad it tasted.
Xiaoqing took the empty bowl, turned around and left with a smile on her face.
I'm afraid that only the young lady can make His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who is fearless and fearless, obedient.
Chu Ning heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Qing leave: "I've been busy all night and I'm so tired. Wanying, please accompany me back to my room to rest."
As he spoke, he pulled the dazed Shen Wanying towards the backyard.
It was not until they left the living room that Shen Wanying reacted.
"It's broad daylight, I...I won't go back to the house."
How could she not know what Chu Ning was thinking? Thinking of the days of indulgence she and Chu Ning had been having, a blush appeared on her face.
It's still daytime now. This guy has no shame at all. It would be so embarrassing if this matter got out.
But Chu Ning didn't care about Shen Wanying's shyness, he just wanted to have a romantic moment with his little wife!
These days, the issue of the murderer has been on my mind. Now that it has finally been resolved, I can fully devote myself to an in-depth communication with Shen Wanying.
Holding Shen Wanying's hand tightly and walking without stopping, Chu Ning smiled wickedly: "I have never tried it in the daytime, and today is my free time!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in the backyard.
With Shen Wanying's half-hearted consent, the two stayed in the house for a whole afternoon.
It was not until the evening when the sun set and the last red cloud slowly fell over the mountain, and the afterglow shone through the window onto the two of them.
Chu Ning hugged the snow-white body with a satisfied look on his face, his hands still doing something weird.
Shen Wanying looked exhausted at the moment. She reached out and held his hand, saying coquettishly, "It's been an entire afternoon, and it's still not enough!"
Chu Ning grinned: "As long as it's you, nothing will be enough."
Although Shen Wanying liked to hear this, she also knew that she couldn't go on like this.
He stretched out his hand and pushed Chu Ning up, and said seriously: "The Great Zhou and the Great Yan will definitely make some moves next. How are you going to deal with it?"
Chu Ning chuckled and briefly recounted what had happened in the palace.
Shen Wanying was surprised after hearing this: "You deliberately let Princess Changping kill Baili Xing, do you want the Great Yan Dynasty to target the Great Qin Dynasty?"
As the most talented woman in the Great Chu, although she does not understand politics, she can see the essence of things.
Given Chu Ning's personality, he would naturally not let Princess Changping kill Baili Xing easily. There must be a deep meaning behind doing so.
Chu Ning chuckled: "Of course. Our dynasty is weak right now, and we have been on guard against the retaliation of the Great Zhao Dynasty. If other dynasties send troops at this moment, our dynasty will find it difficult to cope."
After a pause, Chu Ning suddenly showed a look of surprise: "But I am very curious, why would Baili Xing take action in my dynasty at this moment? What benefits will it bring to him or Dayan by involving all four dynasties?"
These words can only be said to Shen Wanying.
Now, Shen Wanying is his bedside companion, and there are some things he will not hide from her.
What's more, Shen Wanying is so smart, maybe she can know Baili Xing's purpose.
Shen Wanying frowned when she heard this, and as she put on her clothes, she said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, there has been a locust plague in the Great Yan Dynasty in recent years, and the domestic grain harvest has been poor, resulting in the army's food and wages being unable to be paid.
Although the Emperor of Dayan had been trying to find a solution, the locust plague lasted for three consecutive years and he was helpless.
Several powerful dynasties around were waiting for something to happen to the Yan Dynasty so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to seize territory.
Perhaps, the Great Yan Dynasty is already in danger, and Baili Xing wants to stir up the world's situation, let other dynasties fight each other, and buy time for the Great Yan Dynasty. "
Chu Ning nodded slightly at this, agreeing with it.
Although I do not approve of Baili Xing's act of killing Princess Gaoping, if I put myself in his shoes, I think that an octogenarian who could do this for the Great Yan Dynasty is a man of integrity.
However, that is why what happens next will be troublesome.
Baili Xing died in a foreign land for the sake of the Dayan Dynasty. The Emperor of Dayan could not just ignore it. He might even use this as an excuse to unite all the forces in Dayan to start a war.
At this moment, the Great Yan Dynasty had no way to resolve its internal troubles and conflicts. Only war could divert attention and resolve domestic conflicts.
Since ancient times, as long as you win the war, you can get rich and develop.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning's face became a little embarrassed.
"It seems we must prepare in advance!"
Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "No matter whether the Great Zhou Dynasty will send troops to our dynasty, we must prepare for the worst!
Fortunately, Di Wenyao and his five companions have already arrived in Bingzhou, and are now implementing the fertile land contracting system. There are still two months before spring ploughing, and this period of time should be enough to complete the contracting system. "
Speaking of Bingzhou, Chu Ning felt much more at ease.
Guan Yun and Ran Ming are in charge of the military, and now Di Wenyao and four others have joined the political team. Both the civil and military officials are complete, and we are just waiting for the implementation of the contract system.
Spring ploughing is coming soon, and the land problem must be solved before spring ploughing!
But Shen Wanying showed a worried look after hearing this: "The contract system is good for the people, but it will offend all the wealthy families in Bingzhou. They will definitely target you at that time. You must be prepared for this.
In addition, the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been shrewd. Even if she had the letter from Princess Changping, she might not believe what happened here. She might even attack our dynasty, after all, her daughter died here!"
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "If the Great Zhou Dynasty sends troops to our dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty will definitely not let it go. Once these two dynasties send troops, the Great Zhao Dynasty will definitely counterattack!"
After saying that, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "We must do something, otherwise the situation will be unfavorable to us."
Shen Wanying glanced at him and asked, "Who are you planning to trick now?"
Chu Ning laughed awkwardly: "You said that as if I would cheat people."
After saying that, he looked at the sky and showed a sly smile on his face: "It's getting dark now, I'm going to go find them now!"
