At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Chapter 156

Those who are good at planting flowers took the seedlings brought back from the space and Nanling County and started to plant them. She planted some camellia trees near the foot of the mountain, and then she could squeeze camellia oil. The outermost layer was roses, peonies and other flowers. The rose field was next to her medicine shop, forming a beautiful landscape. In that time, she could not only bring the noble ladies in Beijing to visit, but also make perfumes and essential oils.

When Xiao Yang saw Yu Yunxin, she enthusiastically took out a few packets of flower seeds from the manor and handed them to her, saying, "Princess, these are jasmine seeds, and there are also some wild chrysanthemums. Although the petals of this jasmine are white, the fragrance it exudes is very pleasant. I especially like this smell, and sometimes I dry it into dried flowers to make tea!"

"Thank you, Sister Yang. Actually, I like this kind of flower too, but I already have some seedlings in Nanling County." Yu Yunxin replied with a smile. She also has hops, which can be used to make tea.

Then, Xiao Yang said happily: "Princess, did you know that the brothers brought back many different kinds of fruits from the south this time!"

"Really? That's great! Let's go to the pharmacy and take a look." Yu Yunxin responded excitedly upon hearing the news.

When they arrived at the medicine store, they were surprised to find that there were fewer people this time than before. Da Yang told them that everyone else was out delivering goods. These people worked hard all year round to make a living, traveling all over the country on foot, which was not easy.

"Alas, there are too few people delivering the goods this time. It would be better if more people could help." Da Niu stood next to the carriage and couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Yunxin heard what he said and asked curiously: "Where are you going to deliver the goods this time? How long will it take to come back?"

Daniu replied respectfully, "In reply to your question, Princess, we are heading to the Liaodong region this time and will probably be back in less than a month."

"Oh, so you're going to Liaodong." Yu Yunxin nodded to show that she understood. Suddenly, she remembered something and continued, "By the way, I heard that there are some refugees who have escaped from the northern border recently. What do you think? Can you take them with you?"

Daniu thought for a moment and replied, "Of course! Look at these goods. We often go in that direction, and that side is close to the sea, so there are a lot of seafood."

Daniu selected more than ten strong men from the refugees, and the refugees expressed their willingness to help. They knew that this was an opportunity to make money, so the selected people began to get busy, preparing vehicles and loading goods, and everything went in an orderly manner.

Yu Yunxin looked at the lively scene in front of her, her heart filled with relief.

Entering the medicine shop, Yu Yunxin noticed that the number of herbs drying here has also decreased a lot. Now most of the things drying are fresh herbs. The same as last time, there are still a lot of dried fruits drying on the other side, such as raisins, chestnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, red dates, hawthorns, cashews and pecans from the south, etc.

Afterwards, Xiao Yang led Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin into a slightly cold house. There were many bamboo baskets in the house, filled with a variety of fruits, including peaches, loquats, bayberries, sour plums, bananas, passion fruits and other seasonal fruits. Xiao Yang said to the princess enthusiastically: "Princess, these are the local specialties brought back by the brothers. You can take some back to enjoy when you leave later."

"Some of these fruits are picked from the mountains, and some are brought back by our brothers who travel far and wide. If you like, Princess, I can ask them to bring back more in the future. There are plenty of fruits in this season!" said Mrs. Yang enthusiastically.

"Oh? Do the people here often run around delivering goods? After they finish a trip, can they help bring back some local specialties? If they pass by Nanling, can they bring some things from my manor in Nanling County?" Yu Yunxin asked tentatively.

"Princess, that's of course no problem! Moreover, many of our brothers have empty trucks when they return, so it's very convenient to carry goods. Just give them your instructions. No matter what you want to bring back, they will take care of it!" Mrs. Yang replied with a cheerful smile.

Yu Yunxin silently observed the two women in front of her, thinking to herself: They both look like smart and capable people. But what puzzled her was why such people would willingly stay in this small medicine store? Not only that, even the accounts they were responsible for were clear and obvious, without any carelessness. From this point of view alone, they didn't seem like ordinary peasant women in the mountains...

Because she had to go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother in the afternoon, Yu Yunxin originally wanted to take Nangong Lin into the mountains to find some flowers and plants to plant in the manor. But her time was precious, so she could only come back early tomorrow. She had lunch at the medicine store at noon today. Dahu and Erhu roasted suckling pig, and Dayang fried some vegetables and sugar-fried wild chestnuts. After lunch today, there was jasmine tea and fruit. It was a special flavor to eat in the mountains.

After finishing her meal, Yu Yunxin came to the outside of the medicine shop and saw the refugees busy outside the manor. Yu Yunxin almost forgot that they also had to eat lunch. They had to work, so how could they not eat lunch?

He immediately told Mrs. Yang and joined the cooking team to cook some dishes for these refugees, including four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and a pot of vegetable and egg soup.

The refugees were asked to line up for food. Fortunately, the herbal medicine shop often had brothers coming back to eat, so there were enough bowls and chopsticks for 300 people. The refugees were surprised when they saw it and said, "How come the princess feeds us so well? We can't even eat such good food at home."

"Here is a dish, braised pork with chestnuts, which was cooked by the princess herself." Madam Yang said with a smile on her face, "Everyone should eat and drink their fill before going to work, and don't be polite to the princess."

Yu Yunxin also smiled and said: "This pot is really too big. It's my first time to cook in such a big pot. I didn't control the heat well, so it's a little burnt. I hope you don't mind."

"Why would we mind? It's our honor to eat the food cooked by the princess herself! Give me a portion and put it on the rice." The leader was a thin farmer. As he spoke, he showed an expectant expression.

Madam Yang prepared the food for him quickly, and then she couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. She chewed it with big mouthfuls and praised it while eating, "Wow, this braised pork with chestnuts made by the princess is so delicious. It's not only delicious, but also has a hint of sweetness. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious braised pork!"

After getting their food, everyone said, "Yes, we in the village don't even eat much salt, let alone sugar, which is a luxury only landlords can enjoy." Everyone was talking about it while eating.

Many refugees had not tasted meat for a long time. Today at noon, everyone was given two bowls of rice and a pot of vegetables. They ate voraciously, and even ate the food in the bowl clean. Seeing this, Yang asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you full? I have extra food here."

The thin farmer quickly replied: "Sister-in-law, it's not like that. We just ate the buns and steamed buns sent by the princess not long ago, and we are already very full. I just feel that food is hard to come by and should not be wasted!" His face was filled with satisfaction and gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Yang smiled and said softly, "In the future, you will all come to this manor and have your three meals a day here. This is what our princess specifically ordered."

When everyone heard this, they were all delighted, and at the same time they understood that the two people in front of them were Prince Yu and Princess Yu. So they all knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess Yu!"

"Please stand up quickly and don't be so polite. There will be a lot of work waiting for you to do after the meal." Yu Yunxin saw someone kneeling down and spoke quickly.

At this time, several people in the crowd whispered to each other: "Why not take advantage of our free time to repair the statue of the City God in the City God Temple, and pray for the princess and the prince, and ask for the gods' protection, so that they can live a long and healthy life."

When leaving the medicine shop, Xiao Yang gave Yu Yunxin some jasmine tea, a few suckling pigs, and some dried fruits and fruits. She always returned with a full load every time she came.

She came to Yahang and bought a thousand acres of land near the medicine store and the City God Temple. She was going to start a soap, lipstick, essential oil and perfume business. She had decided that all the flowers and plants she wanted to plant could be used to extract essential oils. There were many flowers in the colorful bracelets, and in the greenhouse in Nanling County, she was going to build a soap and essential oil processing factory. After thinking of the plan, Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin entered the palace.

After entering the palace, everyone in the palace was talking about a big event - the prince was assassinated on his way back to Beijing! Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yang Yunsheng, the richest man in Jiangnan, came forward to save the prince. This time, Yang Yunsheng returned to Beijing with the prince. Upon learning of this, Emperor Cheng was furious and ordered the Minister of Justice Yu Tinghai to find out the real murderer who assassinated the prince.

The scene of her grandfather and the prince leaving the capital two months ago suddenly came to her mind. Yu Yunxin couldn't help but frowned, "How could he be injured? Aren't there many people protecting him? And there is also me, the Lord of the Underworld... Could it be that because she married Nangong Lin and let the prince know about this, he suffered this accident?"

Thinking of this, Yu Yunxin's heart could no longer remain calm, and this slight change did not escape Nangong Lin's eyes.

"Madam, isn't my third brother fine? This is all thanks to that richest man in Jiangnan, what's his name?" Nangong looked at Yu Yunxin and comforted her.

"I'm worried about my father. The Ministry of Justice is already busy as a top, and now there's another tricky case of assassinating the crown prince. I'm afraid this case will be difficult to handle. There's a possibility that..." Yu Yunxin didn't finish her words, and slapped her forehead and said, "How could I forget that I still have to give the Queen Mother physical therapy, which might help my father."

When Nangong Lin heard Yu Yunxin say this, the sour feeling in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

Yu Yunxin found Nangong Lin's expression funny. Why was this silly prince jealous? He was like a jealous child.

At this moment, on the second floor of "Wangshan Tower", the most prosperous restaurant in Chengzhou City, Lin Dengyu, Yang Yunsheng and the prince were sitting at a table by the window.

The prince was wearing a plain blue robe, simple and elegant in style, with a few auspicious clouds embroidered on the wide cuffs. As the embroidery on the robe spread, a faint fragrance emanated from the bottom of the sleeves, faint and clear. A jade crown was pinned on his black hair.

Lin Dengyu sat opposite the prince. She had a face as delicate and exquisite as white jade, and a pair of big eyes with deep eyebrows. The flowing water was like a bottomless lake, which fascinated several women on the street and they kept looking at the two of them.

Add to that Yang Yunsheng, a wealthy businessman with an extraordinary temperament.

"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing?" Yang Yunsheng asked.

"My woman married a fool. I have to go back quickly and take her out of Prince Yu's Mansion." The prince said, covering his injured chest.

Lindenyu said with concern: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's cousin is now married, you should heal your wounds first!"

There was a commotion on the street, and a group of soldiers walked by. Although they were in the bright sunlight, their eyes were still as cold as frost and snow. The people watching the excitement on the street couldn't help but feel scared. These were soldiers from the Ministry of Justice, and the word "Xing" was embroidered on their backs. The people of Chengzhou knew at a glance that a big case had happened here.

There was a commotion in Wangshan Tower, and the diners all rushed to the windows to watch the prince, the richest man in Jiangnan, Yang Yunsheng, and Young General Lin.

He was the leader of a team of soldiers from the Ministry of Justice who came directly to the Crown Prince and Yang Yunsheng and said, "I am Sun Dian from the Ministry of Justice. I am here to meet the Crown Prince and Mr. Yang. I am here on behalf of the Minister of Justice to find out the truth from you two. Please tell me the truth." After Sun Dian finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Yunsheng who was sitting aside and drinking tea leisurely.

"Did Lord Yu ask you to investigate the assassination of this prince?" The prince looked at Sun Dian with a hint of joy on his face and said, "Is Princess Xingguo particularly worried when she knows that this prince was assassinated?"

Sun Dian stayed where he was for a while, thinking about the Crown Prince, and said, "Your Highness, when the news of your assassination spread to the capital, I came here as soon as possible. I don't know what happened to the princess."

"Crown Prince, this is all the fault of Aunt Wang and the Second Miss in the palace. They knew very well that the Crown Prince liked the Eldest Miss, so they took advantage of the fact that Old Madam Lin, the Queen, and the Master were not in the palace and kidnapped Princess Xingguo and sent her to Prince Yu's Palace. Princess Xingguo had no choice but to do so." Sun Dian told the Crown Prince everything he knew.

"Xin'er, you said you would wait for me to come back. Why did you marry a fool? I want to go back to Beijing!" the prince said anxiously.

"It takes five days to get to the capital from here at full speed, and there are many dangers and unexpected situations along the way." Sun Dian replied worriedly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, and recuperate."

"Relax, how can I feel at ease?" The prince's face was gloomy. He turned around and tried to leave, but Lin Dengyu, who was standing beside him, stopped him and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please calm down first."

The prince snorted coldly, shook off Lin Dengyu's hand, and said with his eyes wide open: "Calm down? How do you want me to calm down! Now my fiancée has married a fool, how can I just sit here and do nothing!" After that, he was about to leave again.
