Chapter 1398: No Going to Sea

The chief eunuch quickly helped Ye Zifen up and said respectfully, "The emperor has specifically instructed you not to leave the capital for the time being and wait for the return of the vanguard camp. He also said that you must be very eager to meet them."

However, at this moment, Ye Zifen's face showed a hint of hesitation and doubt.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she was eager to see the glorious return of the Vanguard Battalion and witness the glorious moment of their enthronement.

But at the same time, she knew that they were about to set sail again.

Although this was the emperor's oral order, equivalent to an imperial decree, and she could not disobey it, she still felt very embarrassed.

Finally, she replied helplessly: "I will obey the will of the Lord!"

The chief eunuch keenly noticed Ye Zifen's hesitation and immediately asked with concern: "Miss Ye, have you encountered any difficulties? Why not tell us?"

Ye Zifen said frankly: "I originally planned to go to sea immediately after returning to Beijing this time. But I didn't expect..."

The chief eunuch quickly comforted her, "Miss Ye, you are going out to sea to transport food back to the country. We all know how hard it is, and you may not make much money. But you still do it without hesitation, which is why the emperor insisted on keeping you. This is the end of the tips we can give you. Please consider the rest yourself."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I thought to myself, "Why did this eunuch remind me like this? What is his intention? Although I don't know, I know I have to stay here. Then I can't go with you this time. Who should I arrange to go? It seems that I need to rearrange the staff. In addition, I want to go home to see my family, but it seems unlikely to happen at the moment. Moreover, it is expected to take a month for the vanguard battalion to return from the border. If I want to go home, the time will be very tight."

Ye Zifen was well aware of the priorities of the matter. Although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she remained calm and expressed her gratitude to the eunuch.

"Thank you for your advice, Father-in-law. Zifen now understands what to do!"

No matter what plans you have in mind, the most important thing at the moment is to entertain the eunuch well.

After all, although the King of Hell is hard to see, the little ghosts are even harder to deal with.

Ye Zifen knew this well, which is why she was able to communicate with the emperor with deep affection, even showing emotions such as anger and sadness.

However, when facing the eunuch, she had to be cautious and attentive.

If the chief eunuch intended to make things difficult for her, she could only bear it silently. She must not let her personal problems affect the interests of the entire caravan, Fukelai and others.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Miss Ye is too polite. I just said one more word of nonsense!"

Ye Zifen actually didn't like to talk like this, but at this moment she could only say sincerely: "Father-in-law's kindness, Zifen will remember it in her heart."

Fortunately, the eunuch beside the emperor was also a busy man. After hearing a few words of compliments, he prepared to leave.

What? Give him money? Bribe him?

Ye Zifen would only do this if she didn't want to live anymore.

What kind of image does she have in the eyes of the emperor now? She has a label and must not be associated with bribery or anything like that.

Besides, how many times had the eunuch dealt with her?

The two of them had no grudges, so there was no need to leave a bad impression on each other.

Only people with a guilty conscience would think of bribing others directly.

The chief eunuch knew very well how much the emperor valued this girl and her deceased grandparents.

To put it bluntly, this girl has someone backing her up, and that person is someone the emperor always feels indebted to.

Therefore, it is better to offend the prince and princess than to offend this girl who always makes achievements.

After Ye Zifen sent the eunuch away, she immediately asked Xiang Zhibo to prepare horses and dry food, and told him to set off immediately and return to Lujia Village.

Xiang Zhibo was very confused because he had just delivered the letter yesterday and now the Fifth Girl was in a hurry to go back.

But he knew he was in no position to question the decision, so he quickly began to prepare the necessary items.

At the same time, Ye Zifen used this time to find the masters.

These masters had just rested for less than two hours, but she was well aware of their hard work.

However, some things must be made clear.

Ye Zifen said solemnly: "I will rush back to Lujia Village immediately. You can set off for the seaside the day after tomorrow. After arriving at the seaside, you must arrange for the boat to go out to sea as soon as possible, and wait for our cargo ship at the southern estuary to go out to sea together."

The masters had no objection to Ye Zifen's plan, and expressed their understanding and willingness to follow her plan.

Ye Zifen then added: "Master Mu will lead the cargo ship to the designated location. You must arrive on time. No matter who arrives first, you must wait for the other there."

In this way, the two sides can meet smoothly and ensure the continuity and safety of the entire operation.

The masters nodded to show that they understood, but Ye Zifen was still worried and reminded them again: "Remember to bring more food and fresh water. You are the ones leading the team this time. You must discuss and solve any problems you encounter..."

She wanted to continue nagging, but Xiang Zhibo came over and said, "Fifth Miss, everything is ready."

Seeing this, Ye Zifen didn't say anything more. She simply took the dry food that Xiang Zhibo handed to her, then picked up her bag and walked out.

Only after Ye Zifen left did the masters breathe a sigh of relief.

Master A sighed with lingering fear: "Oh my god, this little girl is getting more and more talkative as she grows up, even more talkative than the wife at home!

"Master B retorted dissatisfiedly: "Little girl is indeed a bit long-winded, but why do you mention a wife? Do you think you are the only one who has a wife and we don't? What a fool!"

Master A retorted unconvincedly: "How did I become a fool?"

Master Bing smiled and explained, "When Zifen went back, you didn't even bother to prepare something for your sister-in-law. It will be several months before you come back again. Think about whether your sister-in-law will be angry."

Master A had a look of disbelief on his face: "Your sister-in-law is a woman of the world, she wouldn't be so petty!"

Master B rolled his eyes at him and said, "You forgot what the situation is like in Lujia Village now. Everyone there dotes on their wives. You're doomed by comparison."

Master A felt a little guilty, but he still said stubbornly: "What should we do?"

Master C patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Next time, don't show off your wife in front of us, otherwise we will add fuel to the fire when we go back. This is the only way now. The girl is gone."

Master A felt annoyed and wondered what kind of brothers these were.

Just then, Xiang Zhibo heard their conversation after sending Ye Zifen back, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
