Chapter 2326: Chapter 2323: Activity

This means that it’s not only the People of Beirong who might make a move.

Though worried, Ye Muyu would not intervene, as Chu Heng must have already made arrangements. She just needed to protect herself.

Chu Ziluo nodded in thought and did not ask further, only saying, "All the princes are back this time. I heard the Great Prince and the Second Prince have lost weight. It seems they probably won’t go to the Northern Region again."

"Tomorrow, stay away from the nobility with your cousins, and don’t wander off alone, understand?" Ye Muyu instructed.

Chu Ziluo nodded, "Mother, I know, don’t worry. I will take good care of my cousins."

Chu Qingyu hurriedly swallowed her pastry, promising not to run around.

After dinner, getting everything in order, Ye Muyu called the two maidservants to rest early.

She did not put out the lamp.

As it got late into the night and Chu Heng still hadn’t returned, she decided not to wait any longer.

After all, the journey had been exhausting, and it was not early. Ye Muyu lay down and quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up at dawn, she felt the cold bed beside her untouched, confirming that Chu Heng indeed hadn’t returned last night.

"Go find out if anything unusual happened last night." Ye Muyu softly instructed Su Mei.

Su Mei nodded and went out.

Ye Muyu got up and took fifteen minutes to tidy up.

She then had the maidservant use a small pot to prepare a simple breakfast.

The buns and dumplings were brought from the residence, preserved well in ice during the cold.

They just needed to be warmed up in the morning.

Served with simple mixed grain porridge.

After eating, Su Mei returned, quickly walked in, and whispered in her ear, "Madam, the servant went to inquire. It’s said there was indeed some commotion at the Eastern hunting ground last night, but it was quickly dealt with. I heard two guards were injured, but nothing more serious happened. The details are kept under wraps by those above."

Ye Muyu felt relieved, "Alright, I understand."

Before leaving, Ye Muyu took out a piece of white paper from a small cloth bag she had prepared earlier, containing medicinal powder.

She scattered it around the tent.

"Third Aunt, what’s that, and why are you spreading it?" Chu Qingyu asked curiously.

Ye Muyu smiled, "It’s insect repellent, to keep bugs and ants out of the tent."

"Third Aunt, you’re so thoughtful. Can I have a packet? I forgot to bring one." Chu Qingyu asked innocently.

Chu Ziluo noticed that the powder was different from ordinary insect repellent powder and was about to change the subject to dissuade her cousin when Ye Muyu took out a few sachets from her bag, handing them to Chu Ziluo and Chu Qingyu, "Take these. Give one to each of Chu Fu and his brothers. This powder repels insects and even wild beasts don’t like it. Though you won’t go hunting, it’s still wise to be cautious at the hunting ground."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ziluo did not refuse and even took the initiative to share with Chu Qingyu. When the three brothers of Chu Fu arrived, she distributed them and explained their use, naturally earning their gratitude.

It was getting late.

Ye Muyu heard the sound of drumming from the hunting ground and led the children over.

By the time they arrived, there were already quite a few people present.

They sat down behind the long wooden tables on both sides.

When the drumming stopped, followed by three strikes, the venue became quiet.

Emperor Xuanming sat at the head, raising a cup to steer into the main topic.

"General Hetu, King of the Southern Border... dear ministers, today is a rare good day for all of you to gather here."
