Chapter 804 Silk Delivery
Chapter 804 Silk Delivery
"Greetings, Prince Su." Jiang Suining stepped forward and saluted.
Xiao Yue hid in the dark corner by the wall and did not show up.
"Madam Jiang is really hard-working. She is still in the Women's Academy so late at night, and even Prime Minister Shen has to come and pick her up in person."
"Your Highness, what you said is inappropriate. I have come to pick up my wife, so I should be happy to do so. There is no need to use the word 'trouble'." Shen Yanxi said with disapproval.
Prince Su chuckled, "Then consider it as my fault. Since Prime Minister Shen is here to pick someone up, he should make way, right?"
"Your Highness, please do as you wish." Shen Yanxi stepped aside to make way.
King Su walked towards the alchemy room, followed closely by Butler Wu.
Only after the two left did Xiao Yue come out from the darkness.
"It's a good thing that Prime Minister Shen stopped the people just now, otherwise the princess and Sui Ning might have been caught red-handed."
If I were caught, he would probably report me to my father.
"Why did you come here?"
I did not tell Shen Yanxi in advance that I was going to the alchemy room tonight. I just asked someone to tell him that I had some things to do and I would have to stay in the Women's College for a while.
"I thought it was getting late and you should have almost finished your business, so I came to pick you up." Shen Yanxi replied, "When I came, I happened to see Prince Su hurriedly walking into the Women's Academy. I thought something was wrong, so I stopped him."
Although Ningning did not tell him why she stayed in the Girls' Academy when she asked someone to pass on the message, he could guess that it was definitely not because of the things happening in the academy.
In addition, he heard about Prince Su hiring someone to build a wall, so he guessed a little.
At this time, the palace gates were almost locked. Xiao Yue did not return to the palace, but planned to stay in the women's academy for one night.
Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi got on the carriage and left.
the other side.
Prince Su and Steward Wu were already standing in the alchemy room.
The two guards outside the door were still unconscious. Butler Wu tried to call them for a while, but when he saw that they did not wake up, he gave up.
At this moment, in the alchemy room, Butler Wu had an unsightly look on his face.
"Your Highness, judging from the way they look, it's clear that they were drugged. It must be Jiang Suining and the Fifth Princess."
Prince Su did not say anything, but just stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him.
Butler Wu thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, should we report this matter to the Emperor and let him punish them?"
"There is no evidence, and they have not been caught in the act. Even if we bring the case to the Emperor, as long as they deny it, it won't cause any trouble."
Although on the surface the emperor seems to favor his uncle, Xiao Yue is a princess after all, and the emperor cannot be completely indifferent.
Even if he really didn't take his daughter seriously, he still had to consider whether it would affect the royal reputation if the matter spread.
"Your Highness, can we just let this matter go?" Butler Wu frowned.
It was all his fault for being careless. He didn't notice anything wrong during the day. It was only after he returned to the palace that he discovered that there seemed to be some wet mud on the key.
He had always kept the keys well, so there was absolutely no way that they were stained with dirt. The only explanation was that someone might have stolen the keys and made a rubbing of them when he wasn't paying attention.
Prince Su retracted his gaze from the alchemy furnace and said, "Let people strengthen precautions from now on. Such things must never happen again. As for this time... we can only forget about it."
Butler Wu bowed his head and replied, "Yes, I will remember it."
"Regarding..." Prince Su spoke again, "Calculating the time, the batch of silk that we purchased from the Jiang family before should be ready for delivery soon, right?"
Steward Wu said, "Your Highness, the delivery date is two days away. According to the agreement, the goods will be delivered before the evening of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Prince Su smiled coldly, "Okay, everyone says Jiang's silk is very good. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product."
……
Jiang family.
Jiang Mushi has been keeping an eye on silk matters for some time.
In addition to the normal rush work, he paid close attention to all links to prevent any mistakes.
At noon, Jiang Zhitong arrived at the cloth shop.
Jiang Mushi saw him and quickly walked to Jiang Zhitong's side.
"Father, the batch of silk has been completed and can be delivered at any time."
"Okay, I checked it carefully. Is there anything wrong?"
"Don't worry, father. I have been keeping a close eye on it during this period. I have checked all the silks that have been woven one by one. There are no problems. When they were stored in the warehouse, they were always under guard."
"What's going on with the guards?"
"He is an elder of our Jiang family. He is absolutely trustworthy."
"That's good." Jiang Zhitong nodded. "In that case, let's load the truck and deliver the goods. You've been really busy during this period. Take a good rest after the delivery. Speaking of which, you're still newlyweds. You've been immersed in business for a while and haven't been able to spend enough time with A-Yao."
"I signed this deal originally, so I should be responsible for it. It's not hard work. As for A-Yao..."
Jiang Mushi smiled helplessly.
"Father, you know she is even busier than me. Every day she is either on duty in the palace with my sister, or busy with the affairs of the Women's Academy. Even if I have time to accompany her, I am afraid she has no time for me to accompany her."
"Ayao, like your sister, is a good child with ambitions and goals. Don't complain even if she is a little busy. What couples need is mutual understanding and tolerance. This is the way to get along for a long time." Jiang Zhitong advised.
Although he knew that his son loved Wei Yao wholeheartedly and would definitely not have any conflicts with the other party because of these things, he still wanted to say a few more words.
"Don't worry, father. I know everything in my heart. I also hope that A Yao can do what she wants to do according to her own wishes."
As for not having much time together...
Anyway, they are already married, and there is a long time to come. What's more, he can see A Yao every day now, which is much better than before when he could only wait at the gate of the palace and spend time with her by sending her home.
The wrapped silk was taken out of the warehouse and carefully loaded onto the truck.
Jiang Mushi watched them finish loading the truck, and then personally escorted them to Prince Su's Mansion.
At the gate of Prince Su's Mansion, Butler Wu looked at the silk that was delivered.
"According to the agreement, didn't the buyer send someone to the Jiang family's cloth shop to pick up the goods?"
"Your Majesty is of noble status, so we personally sent it here to express our Jiang family's respect for you." Jiang Mushi smiled and gestured to the silk behind him, "Please ask Steward Wu to inspect the goods in public to see if there are any problems."
"Master Jiang, are you afraid that our palace might do something, so you want to inspect the goods in public?"
