After bathing, Chen Rong brought a small bowl of hot noodles: "Princess, I made a bowl of mutton noodles, please eat some to warm your body."

The rich mutton soup makes your mouth water just by smelling it.

Li Shuangwan was indeed a little hungry. After eating a bowl of hot noodles, he felt comfortable from head to toe. After a good sleep, the fatigue he felt tomorrow would be gone.

Roman just went out and came back with a box in her hand: "Princess, I don't know who left it outside the door, take a look at what's inside."

As soon as Li Shuangwan saw the box, she knew who it belonged to. She had seen it when she went to Liuyue Tower two days ago. All the boxes there were of the same type, all with this kind of carved and hollowed-out style.

It was sent by him, Gu Xingyan.

When I opened it, there were several bottles of perfume inside.

Since it was given to her, Li Shuangwan didn't act pretentiously. She took his things and asked him for help, which was enough, so one more person wouldn't hurt.

When I applied it on my body, I felt that every pore in my body opened up and I felt very relieved.

Li Shuangwan put the things away.

Yi Zhu looked at the bottles of perfume with some worry. When she saw Luo Man leading the servants out, she could not help but speak: "Princess, it is better not to take too much of Master Gu Jiu's things. What if someone finds out..."

This era was very unfriendly to women. Men could have three wives and four concubines. Even if they had wives, it would still not stop them from visiting brothels.

But if a woman says a few more words to another man, she will be pointed at and scolded, not to mention that the princess is using these things given by a man.

Li Shuangwan nodded: "I know what's going on, but there's no reason to not use good things. So, tomorrow you take two hundred taels of silver to the shopkeeper of Liuyue Tower and tell him that the things are very useful and this is the money to buy things, and ask him to accept it."

Yizhu then responded with a "yes".

"How is Zhang Shiyi's injury?" Li Shuangwan asked Yizhu. She had been busy with her daily affairs recently and had not had time to visit him. It had been more than a month and she didn't know how the injury on his hand was.

Yi Zhu gently massaged her shoulders and replied, "Don't worry, Princess. The doctor is very skilled. Master Zhang's injury has improved a lot. The broken bones in his left hand have been reconnected. He will be fully recovered in another month or two."

Li Shuangwan nodded. It would take a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, so it would take another two months. She wanted to go see him tomorrow, but Ling Heng was back, so she would not be as free as before if she left the house.

She knew what Zhang Shiyi liked best, so she asked Uncle Zhou to prepare the things a few days in advance.

After a tiring day, Li Shuangwan fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

In the study.

Sipo: "Your Majesty, the princess killed a doorman yesterday."

Ling Heng was so angry that he swept everything on the desk to the ground. He knew that this bitch was restless.

"Yesterday, the remains of General He and his men were returned to Shengjing. The princess wanted to go to the city gate to welcome the coffin, but the gatekeeper stopped her and said, "Princess, you can't stop me, but the prince will definitely not forgive me. Why don't you kill me now?" So the princess ordered him to be killed on the spot."

Ling Heng's face was grim. "Fool, it's not a pity for him to die. Who told him to bring me here? Go and take care of his family as well. Don't leave any trouble for the future."

"Yes. Your Majesty, we also found out that His Royal Highness the Third Prince seemed to be involved in the abduction of Hu Zhenfang and others."

Ling Heng looked at Si Po and asked, "Did the third brother send someone to kidnap him?"

"No, those bandits in Liangshan seem to have something to do with the Third Prince."

Ling Heng sneered and leaned back in his chair: "Are you saying that those so-called Liangzhou bandits are actually Lao San's private soldiers?"

"It is possible, but we have not found any concrete evidence yet."

A sinister smile appeared on Ling Heng's face. It turned out that these princes all had dirty hands and kept private soldiers.

"My Lord, should we..."

Ling Heng raised his hand: "No need. He wants to die, we can just be a spectator. Assassinating the prince, colluding with Zhao Mingshan to plot for the position of crown prince, these things have not touched the vital interests of my father himself, he is happy to see us brothers fighting to the death. But,"

Ling Heng sneered, "Raising private soldiers would be a threat to himself."

Si Po: "Besides, this banditry in Liangshan has been around for many years. The imperial court has sent troops several times but has not been able to completely wipe it out. This shows how many troops there are and how strong their strength is. If the emperor knew that these people were the private soldiers of the Third Prince..."

"Oh, the name of the third brother has already been selected by the old man Yan Wang."

Seeing that his master was in a good mood, Sipo swallowed his saliva and then lowered his head and tremblingly handed over a secret letter: "Your Majesty, I just received news that our iron mine in Yongzhou Prefecture was robbed the day before yesterday."

Ling Heng stood up suddenly, grabbed Si Po's front, and said with bloodshot eyes: "What did you say!"

Sipo fell to his knees and said, "It's because of our incompetence that we were targeted by someone and the several thousand kilograms of pig iron inside were stolen."

Ling Heng grabbed the letter that Sipo handed over, and after reading it, he angrily crumpled it into a ball and slammed it into the stove beside him. The paper caught fire as soon as it came into contact with the fire: "Who on earth could have done this? Who has the guts to rob such a large batch of pig iron?"

Si Po's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "I don't know yet. Those people wore masks and didn't kill anyone. They just knocked out the miners, robbed the pig iron and left. No one was killed. Cao Liang said that those people were mostly vagrants."

Ling Heng slammed his fist on the table. "Go, give an order to Cao Liang. Tell him to find out the truth within three days and take back the pig iron. If anyone dares to steal it, I will kill them all. If he can't find out the truth within three days, I will let Cao Liang straighten his neck for me!"

Sipo dared not say anything more.

The next day, Ling Heng came just after Li Shuangwan got up. His eyes were full of red bloodshot. It seemed that he had been busy all night.

He walked up to Li Shuangwan and gently stroked Li Shuangwan's face: "Ah Wan, I have been too busy these days and have not been able to take care of you."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly, took a step back calmly, and dodged Ling Heng's hand on her face: "Your Highness, business is more important. I will stay in the mansion and not go anywhere."

Ling Heng pulled her into his arms and said, "Ah Wan still loves me."

"Your Highness, there are so many people watching us." Li Shuangwan broke free from Ling Heng's arms.

"Haha..." Ling Heng laughed, "Let them watch. You are my wife. Who dares to say anything when I am intimate with my wife?"

"What are you busy with today, Your Highness?"

"There are a lot of things to do. I was busy until midnight yesterday. I went to Le Xiaoyuan and saw you sleeping soundly. I felt cold so I stayed in the study all night. I still have a lot to do today. Ah Wan, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. How are the preparations for the New Year going in the mansion?"

Li Shuangwan glanced at Butler Luo who was following behind Ling Heng: "Butler Luo is almost ready."
