PFC Chapter 366 Her Fate
Chapter 366 Her Fate
Just as the princess was waiting for the war to break out in the northern frontier, a guard rushed in to report.
"Your Highness, Deputy General Zhang from the military camp just reported that a batch of military supplies purchased by the army three days ago has been hijacked."
Zhou Changqing, a salt merchant in the city, said that a ton of salt he had just brought in was stuck in Baizhou, and that all the medicinal herbs for the various pharmacies in the city could not be transported over, and even if they could be brought in, they would be detained by the soldiers at the city gates..."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess looked shocked.
"Who gave them the audacity to block the supplies from my Le'an County!"
"check!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the guards left, Granny Shi came in.
"Your Highness, General An has come to visit!"
The eldest princess frowned.
"Let him wait in the study first."
Half an hour later, the guard returned.
"Your Highness, we've found out. It turns out that Zhang Huainan specifically instructed that nothing from our Le'an Prefecture, whether supplies or people, is allowed to pass through his Baizhou City!"
Zhang Huainan?
If she remembered correctly, he should be a student of Grand Tutor Liu.
Haha, I thought Liu Ziyu was a pushover, but I didn't expect him to have henchmen...
It seems he resents himself for harming Yan'er.
But she couldn't explain this to him.
Never mind, once the matter in the northern frontier is resolved in a few days, she will personally go to the capital to apologize to him.
General An was restless and uneasy.
Upon seeing the Princess arrive, Andeshan immediately stood up.
"Princess, we have news from over there. Jubao Tower has rejected our request to purchase wound medicine!"
"What did you say?"
The eldest princess exclaimed excitedly.
She had expected to receive the highly effective medicine as promised, but at this crucial moment, they told her that they hadn't.
The princess's face immediately darkened.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Your Highness, I've heard that this matter is related to Jade Deer Manor..."
Andeshan explained that the medicine for injuries at Jubaolou was not produced by themselves, but was provided to them by Yulu Pharmacy.
The real owner behind Jade Deer Manor is Wu Weiwei.
Therefore, whether or not to administer medicine to Jubaolou is entirely up to Wu Weiwei.
In other words, after learning that she had purchased the wound medicine from Jubaolou, Wu Weiwei refused to cooperate with Jubaolou.
Seeing that the princess looked unwell, General An hesitated and said, "Princess, why don't we just place the order with the previous medicine merchant?"
"I'm afraid it's too late..."
The eldest princess looked at the teacup in her hand.
"We just received a notification that Zhang Huainan has cut off all supplies being transported to Le'an County..."
"what?"
Andersen was surprised.
"It seems they're forcing me to make a trip to the capital!"
"No, Your Highness!"
Upon hearing that she was going to the capital, Andersen immediately stopped her.
"Then do you have any brilliant ideas?"
"Princess, since Zhang Huainan won't let us pass through his Baizhou City, why don't we bypass him and take the northern border route?"
"No, that's too risky. Besides, war is imminent in the Northern Frontier. Do you want me to lose everything?"
"Not necessarily!"
Andersen was just discussing with his subordinates whether the war in the northern frontier might actually break out.
After all, what the eldest princess said two days ago was just a guess, and it may not be the truth.
"No, I can't take that risk."
She looked at Andersen.
"You stay here to guard the city, I'll go to the capital immediately..."
Seeing that the princess had made up her mind, Andeshan had no choice.
Watching the palace maids hurriedly pack the princess's belongings, Granny Shi advised, "Princess, are you really going to the capital?"
"Yes, this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later!"
If we're quick, we might be able to get back before the war breaks out.
Ugh!
It seems I can't persuade them!
……
Xiao Yuanzi had been waiting at the gate of the Liu residence for some time, and on this day he finally saw people emerge from the carriage of the Liu family.
When he saw Liu Shuning being carried to sit in a wooden wheelchair, his eyes widened.
Could it be that Miss Liu was really seriously injured?
Xiao Yuanzi only left after Liu Shuning was pushed into the mansion.
Hanqing Temple.
Luo Bin smiled smugly to himself when he heard about Liu Shuning's injury.
It was indeed heaven's help.
Two days ago, Madam Liu came to the temple to offer incense. While the novice monks were interpreting her fortune sticks, Xiao Yuanzi overheard that Liu Shuning had been seriously injured.
He thought that Madam Lin had deliberately said this to him so that he would give up.
As it turns out, Xiao Yuanzi confirmed today that Liu Shuning was indeed injured.
Since Liu Shuning was seriously injured, her marriage will surely be affected.
That day, Madam Liu drew a marriage fortune stick. From the young novice monk, Luo Bin learned that the Liu family wanted Liu Shuning to marry Lu Hanting.
Luo Bin clenched his fists; it was Lu Hanting again.
Yan'er was taken away by him, and now the woman he has his eye on is going to compete with her for her.
No, he won't let him have his way this time.
"Xiao Yuanzi, go and buy me some things..."
Luo Bin whispered instructions close to Xiao Yuanzi's ear.
Xiao Yuanzi's eyes widened as he listened to the items the young master wanted him to buy.
"Sir, this..."
"What are you worried about? This won't be a big deal!"
Seeing Xiao Yuanzi's surprised face, Luo Bin told him that this was for his and Liu Shuning's future.
When Xiao Yuanzi was about to leave, Luo Bin called him back.
"Little Yuanzi, remember, don't let anyone see us!"
"Understood, young master."
Ye Qingyun has confirmed with Ku Li that the 800,000 taels of silver in the account were indeed taken by Qingzhu and given to Wu Weiwei.
She suppressed her anger, and just when she had nowhere to vent it, she received a message by carrier pigeon from the northern frontier.
"Mr. Ye, I will be arriving in the capital soon. I would be grateful if you could arrange a meeting with the owner of Yu Lu Restaurant for me!"
Ye Qingyun's eyes widened in shock when he saw the seal at the end of the letter.
This is……
Ye Qingyun looked at the letter.
That's great news. Since I can't deal with you physically, there's always someone who can take my place...
Even their Jubaolou restaurant dared not easily deal with this person.
Rumors have been circulating in the capital these past few days that Liu Taifu's wife is ill.
With the emperor's leniency, many imperial physicians came to the Liu residence to examine Lady Lu's pulse.
However, when they examined the patient, they learned that it was not Madam Liu who was sick, but Liu Shuning, the daughter of the Liu family.
Finally, when the imperial physicians left, Grand Tutor Liu presented them with generous gifts and instructed them not to tell anyone.
The imperial physicians understood this, and His Majesty had already given them a gag order before they came to the Liu residence.
At the time, they only thought that Madam Liu had contracted some unspeakable illness, but now it seems...
Even with the best secrecy, leaks can always occur.
A certain imperial physician went to a pub for drinks and was given too many drinks. He then revealed that Liu Taifu's daughter was not fit to be a wife.
Thus, the whole capital knew that one should not marry a daughter of the Liu family.
Finally, Liu Taifu was so angry that he filed a lawsuit against the drunken imperial physician in court, and the emperor had no choice but to dismiss him from his post.
After learning that she had become a laughing stock in the capital, Liu Shuning locked herself in her room for three days and three nights.
If it weren't for Madam Liu's persistent pleas from outside, Liu Shuning would probably have refused to come out even at the cost of her life.
When Wu Weiwei heard the news, she was deeply shocked.
If it had been her who was captured by the Princess that day, Liu Shuning would probably be in the same situation as her now.
