Chapter 1237: Chapter 1234: Probe

“Lady, have you awakened?” Chun Xing hurried to push the door open and enter.

Madam Liu followed closely behind. After entering, seeing Ye Muyu’s composed expression, she stepped forward to comfort her, “Ah Yu, don’t fret too much. Ah Heng is blessed with good fortune and will come to no harm.”

“He should not be someone so reckless,” Madam Liu said, suppressing the concern in her heart.

Ye Muyu had already managed her emotions by now. If she weren’t pregnant, she could have accompanied him, but now she could not neglect the bloodline, and therefore, she needed to prepare more for Chu Heng.

“Mother, I’m fine now, don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Madam Liu reluctantly set her mind at ease.

Ah Heng had a good relationship with his daughter-in-law, and she needed to help take good care of her, especially now that there was a child. Seeing that her words had an effect, she found her daughter-in-law even more sensible.

“Mother, I forgot to ask before, did the King of Huainan mention anything else besides the matter about Ah Heng?”

Now that the war was starting, the King of Huainan was a general, in charge of all affairs. He shouldn’t have sent a letter just because of such a small matter concerning Chu Heng. If her guess was right, the information about Ah Heng should merely be an incidental mention.

Madam Liu’s words confirmed her guess.

“Indeed, Steward Luo said that the King of Huainan had requested reinforcements for the Northern Region from the Emperor, stating that the Xiongnu came with overwhelming force, harboring long-standing plots, and that spies had infiltrated the Northern Region. He reported shortfalls in military supplies and asked the Emperor for more provisions.”

“He said that the Xiongnu would encounter Ah Heng’s troop and it was related to those spies, and that supplies should be secretly escorted to ensure timely arrival.”

“The court has been arguing over this matter, claiming that the supply troop led away by Ah Heng had the most provisions. If it was lost, it would deplete the rations of tens of thousands of soldiers.”

Ye Muyu pondered, the situation was more critical than she had imagined.

She thought for a moment and urged, “Mother, let us keep a low profile in the residence for the time being, avoiding banquets and not making any trouble.”

“Pay close attention to the affairs of the court.”

As for her privately arranging to send provisions, she did not mention it; there were spies in the Northern Region and political enemies in the capital.

Days passed in this way, she gathered information while nurturing her pregnancy.

Her morning sickness remained unconquered, and in just half a month, she already looked very frail.

“Lady, Tang Beauty has come to visit,” said Ye Muyu, frowning as she reviewed the message brought back by the Scout Team. The provisions were almost there, but there was still no news of Chu Heng.

But it wasn’t entirely without progress. Apparently, the soldiers who had been left behind by Chu Heng and were recuperating at the post station had vanished without a trace. Before leaving, they all insisted on setting out to rejoin the troop as soon as they felt slightly better.

Afterwards, their whereabouts were lost. Based on Ye Muyu’s understanding of Chu Heng, this message always made her feel it must be the enemy’s doing.

However.

Without confirmation, she could only cling to the greatest hope.

“Madam Tang?” Ye Muyu thought for a while and ultimately didn’t refuse to meet the other party. No matter what evil plan the other party harbored, she would wait and face it. If luck was on her side, she might even be able to extract some information about the Liu family from her.

When Tang Beauty entered, she saw Ye Muyu’s slightly bulging belly, a flicker of jealousy crossing her eyes, “It seems you’re not the least afraid of what I might do to you.”

Ye Muyu silently regarded her, “Beauty Tang, please take a seat. After all, we are in the Chu residence, there’s no need to feel afraid.”

“You’re still so defiant right now, I wonder if you’ll be able to maintain your composure after I tell you the news I have,” Tang Beauty said, full of malice.
