Meanwhile, Shen Nian—whom Qi Junmu was thinking of—let out a violent sneeze in Wanggu Valley. Cheng Jin looked at him worriedly and said in a low voice, "Marquis, are you all right?"

Ruan Jiqing, standing nearby, wore a full smile. "Marquis Shen must take care of his health! His Majesty has said that if the bones are truly found in this valley as you claimed, then you will have rendered a great service, and His Majesty will reward you handsomely."

His tone carried more than a hint of envy. He knew exactly what rewards Qi Junmu had prepared—and they were treasures.

When they'd first arrived at Hezhou, Zhang Quan and the others had brought several tents. They set one up now, and the rice and vegetables they'd purchased were piled inside—several large bags. The men were sitting on the ground resting.

Zhang Quan stood nearby with a few of the Qin family soldiers. No one was scolding or beating anyone.

Watching this scene, the villagers felt reassured.

As long as they got something to eat, that was enough.

The Emperor said this in a light, offhand tone, as if he had casually run into an acquaintance on the street and asked whether he had eaten yet.

Wang Yi, however, turned pale at these words, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

He was dressed in comfortable, soft robes, but under Qi Junmu's dark, penetrating gaze, he felt an icy cold seep through him—as if someone were rubbing ice over his skin. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhao Ger had just come back from washing his hands when he saw Guaizai standing by the pot with his mouth wide open, like a baby bird waiting to be fed. Zhang Quan was trying to pull him away, but the boy kept craning his neck toward the woman dishing out the food, yelling, "Put it right in Guaizai's mouth! Quick, put it in Guaizai's mouth! Uncle, let go of Guaizai—Guaizai wants the stir-fried vegetables!"

Once he figured out what was going on, Zhao Ger couldn't help but give the boy a light swat on the bottom.

This dish was just stir-fried—it's still piping hot. Isn't he scared of burning his mouth?

Turning these thoughts over in her mind, the Empress Dowager's gaze slowly fell upon Wen Wan, still kneeling on the ground. "I did not berate you today out of cruelty. But you are the chief overseer of the rear palace, holding the position of Empress. That such a thing happened under your watch is mismanagement. If it tarnishes the Emperor's reputation, that is your dereliction as Empress. The Emperor handles affairs of state from dawn till dusk—if the rear palace cannot even give him peace, how can you expect me not to be angry?"

"Imperial Mother's instruction is etched in this concubine's heart."

Lao Qiu's house

Meanwhile, the eldest son's fulang was coughing as he carried water home with a child strapped to his back in an old cloth. He went into the kitchen and picked out four sweet potatoes.

Lao Qiu was weaving bamboo baskets nearby. Seeing this, he said, "Go get two more. Don't overcook them—once they're done, take them to your husband for lunch."

Lu Ger paused while washing the sweet potatoes, was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, Father."

After speaking, Qi Junmu turned his gaze to Consort Dowager Xian and asked slowly, "Consort Dowager, you came to see Imperial Mother today—was it to ask after Second Brother's news?"

Of course that was exactly what she wanted, Consort Dowager Xian thought. But she hadn't expected Qi Junmu to come out and say it so bluntly, and for a moment she was at a loss for words.

She forced a smile and said, "Prince Ping is carrying out Your Majesty's business. As long as he is safe, it matters little whether I know his news or not."
