Chapter 75 Eunuch Liu Visits the Military Camp

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tensed up.

Li's voice trembled as she said, "Daughter, don't be afraid. If the authorities come looking for you, just say I sold them."

Wang Yiyi scolded, "What are you thinking? If it weren't for the government's approval, how could I have bought so much tea? Don't worry, it's all tea with proper permits."

Li calmed down and sat down again, though she was still trembling slightly, not from fear, but from excitement.

Er Ya immediately made room to the side and patted it, saying, "Third Sister, I've never seen so much silver before. Take it out quickly and let me see it."

Wang Yi calmly ate a bite of food before saying, "That's all. I bought new goods."

"What kind of goods?" Er Ya asked.

"It's just some spices, herbs, jade, pearls, and the like," Wang Yi said, pulling a package from her bosom. "Come and see the gifts! There are things from Danzhou and Suzhou, things we can't buy here."

Er Ya suddenly became interested and stopped asking questions. She quickly took the package and started rummaging through it. When she saw something, she let out a scream.

The others were also intrigued by her, and they gathered around to discuss it, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.

Unlike the warm atmosphere at the Wang family's residence, Xie Yu found the entire military camp on high alert as soon as he returned.

His personal bodyguard, Xie San, was waiting outside the military camp. When he saw him return, he hurriedly ran over and whispered, "Her Majesty the Empress has sent someone over."

Xie Yu's expression hardened. He had expected that people in the palace would know that he had left the southwest, but he did not expect them to come so quickly.

He felt fortunate once again that Wang Yiyi had taken him there; no matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that he could make a round trip from the Northwest in six days.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved again. "Didn't I give myself away?"

Xie San shook his head slightly and took the reins from Xie Yu's hand: "The person arrived yesterday. General Xie said he was sending you on official business."

Xie Yu glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly: "It would take at least five days to travel from the capital to here, even traveling day and night. There are some people in the army who need to be taught a lesson."

The news of his departure reached the capital as soon as it happened; these people are really quick.

Xie San's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed his head and agreed.

As Xie Yu's personal bodyguard, he could not escape responsibility for the leak of his master's information.

As they were talking, the two arrived outside General Xie's tent.

Xie Yu adjusted her expression, adopting a humble demeanor, before lifting the curtain and entering.

"You're finally back! Eunuch Liu has been waiting for you for two days." Xie Cheng saw him, immediately walked over, patted him on the shoulder twice, and winked at him.

Xie Yu nodded slightly and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Eunuch Liu, who was sitting in the main seat: "Eunuch Liu, you must be tired from your long journey. The Great Yong Kingdom has recently shown signs of stirring up trouble again. My uncle sent me out to investigate, which is why I was delayed for a while."

It was somewhat inappropriate for a prince to bow to a eunuch, but Eunuch Liu did not find anything wrong with it and accepted the bow as a matter of course.

After a while, she opened her slightly squinted eyes and said, "Second Prince, you flatter me. I came here on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress to see you."

Xie Yu quickly bowed towards the direction of the capital, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Mother."

Eunuch Liu then grunted in agreement, stepped down from his seat, and asked in a condescending manner, "Why does the Second Prince want to go to the Northwest?"

Xie Yu was startled, but feigned ignorance: "Why do you say that, Eunuch Liu? What would I do in the Northwest? Besides, the Northwest is a long way away; even the fastest horse would take at least ten days to get there."

That's true. Even with fast horses and constant changes of speed, the fastest round trip would still take ten days.

Eunuch Liu narrowed his eyes, not even glancing at him directly: "Was the assassination attempt on the Second Prince outside Danzhou City a hoax?"

After saying that, she put on a concerned expression: "Her Majesty the Empress was worried about you. As soon as she heard the news of your assassination attempt, she sent this old servant here without stopping. I dared not delay her at all on the way."

His voice was high-pitched and didn't sound like he was concerned; it sounded more like he was being sarcastic.

Xie Cheng clenched his fists, glancing worriedly at Xie Yu. He was afraid Xie Yu would get angry, and he was also worried about Xie Yu's injuries. He wished he could lift up Xie Yu's clothes on the spot to take a look, but he could only hold back because of Eunuch Liu.

Xie Yu lowered her head, concealing the fierceness in her eyes. Her worry was mixed with surprise; the Empress actually had spies in the Northwest.

When he looked up, his expression had changed to one of indignation: "Mother must have been deceived. I did go to Danzhou, but I was never assassinated."

He had shown his face in Danzhou and hadn't intended to hide it, but he still didn't know who was behind the assassination attempt. It was best to keep it a secret, since all those people were dead and there was no evidence now.

Liu Gonggong looked him over with suspicion for a while before laughing and saying, "I was just joking with the Second Prince. You are the Empress's only son, so naturally she will do everything in her power to plan for you."

Xie Yu bowed respectfully towards the direction of the capital once again: "I know the Empress Dowager's intentions, and I will certainly not disappoint her."

Eunuch Liu narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face. "Seeing that the Second Prince is safe and sound, Her Majesty the Empress is relieved. It's time for me to return to the capital to report back."

With that, he flicked his whisk and strode out the door in a grand manner.

"Please be careful on your journey, Eunuch Liu." Xie Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute and saw the man out of the military camp.

After watching the group walk away, Xie Cheng looked Xie Yu up and down: "Where are you injured? Are you badly injured? Come back with me quickly, I'll have the army doctor come and take a look."

The Empress's information couldn't be wrong. Although Xie Yu hadn't admitted it just now, he knew that his nephew must have been injured.

Xie Yu smiled gently: "It's alright, it's all healed now."

As he spoke, he lifted his clothes to show Xie Cheng a glimpse. In this world, the only person who truly cared about him was his uncle.

Xie Cheng let out a long sigh, then his face turned angry again: "A castrated dog dares to swagger in front of me, should I send someone...?"

He made a throat-slitting motion as he spoke.

He'd really had enough of that eunuch these past two days.

Xie Yu shook his head: "No, he's the Empress's favorite. If he dies here, it will be hard to explain."

Xie Cheng narrowed his eyes, his face fierce: "I'll send a few men out of the southwest before we make our move. The journey back to the capital is long, and it's not surprising that we'll encounter a few bandits along the way."

Xie Yu still refused: "My mother is a cautious person. If Eunuch Liu dies, she will definitely become suspicious. Let's find an opportunity later."

It's not worth it for the empress to be wary of a eunuch.

Xie Cheng didn't insist. He was just acting on impulse. He understood that Eunuch Liu couldn't die like this, much less die at their hands.

He was somewhat puzzled: "The Empress sent that eunuch on this trip just to check on you?"

It's no wonder he asked that question. In an ordinary family, this would naturally be a mother caring for her son, but Xie Yu is not the Empress's biological son.
