“So now we can only keep an eye on the border. It won’t be easy to chase after them.”
“Indeed, it’s easier said than done to find someone in the mountains.
“But we have to confirm if they went that way. Let’s go see the Crown Prince together.” Zhou Huaiming suggested.
Gu Chengrui shook his head. “You can go by yourself. My wife is still waiting for me to go home.”
“Tell Sister-in-law that I’ll go over for dinner tonight.”
“Just eat whatever we cook. If you want to order, go to a restaurant.”
“Stingy. Alright, I’ll go into the palace now.” Zhou Huaiming huffed and immediately rushed into the palace.
After entering the palace, he happened to b.u.mp into the Crown Prince eating in the royal study.
He directly asked his eunuch, Eunuch Qian, to serve a bowl and chopsticks before sitting at the side to eat together.
“You really aren’t polite, are you?” The Crown Prince raised his head and glanced at him.
“That’s because I know that you don’t treat me as an outsider.” Zhou Huaiming smiled.
The Crown Prince rolled his eyes at him and continued eating.
After the meal, the Crown Prince asked Eunuch Qian to serve them tea. He then asked, “How’s the national treasury? Is there a big problem?”
“Kinda. The number of weapons recorded doesn’t match the inventory, and there’s a deficit in the accounts.”
“Oh, how much is missing?”
“There are 10,000 sabers, 1,000 bows, and 100 boxes of arrows missing.
“We are also lacking 200,000 taels of silver.”
“So many? Investigate them properly. There might be other traitors hiding in the dark.”
“I’m already investigating this. I’m here for the matter regarding King Hui.”
The Crown Prince responded and pointed to the door.
Eunuch Qian immediately went out to keep watch.
Zhou Huaiming then told him Gu Chengrui’s guess and their a.n.a.lysis.
The Crown Prince nodded. “It seems that the eldest is more shrewd than the fourth. He must have left behind a lot of back doors.”
“Send someone to the north to check. If it’s confirmed that they really went north, tell them to return immediately and report to us.
“Also, send a letter to Grandpa and Eldest Cousin. Tell them to keep an eye on the Northern Continent’s movements and report in time.”
“Alright, continue with your work then. I’ll make the arrangements now.” After Zhou Huaiming finished his tea, he turned around and walked out.
Gu Chengrui returned home and was not met with even Zhou Ying’s shadow.
He hastily ate a few mouthfuls and rested for a while. He told Kuihua about Zhou Huaiming’s dinner plans before heading out again.
After Zhou Ying came out of her shops, she didn’t go straight back to her residence.
Instead, she ordered some cutlery from various shops, especially special kitchenware such as iron stoves and copper pots.
By the time she returned home, the sun had already set.
After returning to the residence and receiving the news, she went to the kitchen and saw that there was every type of meat other than fish. She instructed the servants to help prepare them accordingly.
She rested for a while and started cooking personally.
There were a total of six dishes prepared. Roasted lamb chop, black pepper beef tenderloin, chestnut stewed chicken, sauteed sliced pork, s.h.i.+take mushroom and rapeseed, five-spice steamed eggplant, and finally, tomato egg dumpling soup.
By the time she was done, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Huaiming were already sitting down and having a pot of tea. She immediately asked s.h.i.+zhu, Chunxiang, and Dongxiang to serve the dishes before asking them to call Gu Chenglin over.
She then carried a jar of yellow wine and walked in.
“Thank you, sister-in-law. Let me pour the wine.” Zhou Huaiming immediately stood up and took the wine jar.
“Here you go.” Gu Chengrui placed three wine gla.s.ses in front of him.
As for Gu Chenglin, he was still studying, so Gu Chengrui didn’t prepare a gla.s.s for him..
