Chapter 1113: Chapter 1110_1

"I understand." Shangguan Xuanyi did not have much reaction after hearing these words. He picked up the cup on the table and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

"You know? What’s your plan? I am anxious to death! How can you still react this way, showing no urgency at all?" Shangguan Xuanhao, seeing no reaction from Shangguan Xuanyi, was so furious that he was about to stomp his feet.

Without medical supplies on the battlefield, soldiers may lose their lives at any time!

"I’m not the one in charge of transporting the medicines nor am I the one responsible for preparing them. Why should I be worried?"

"You..." Shangguan Xuanhao was irritated by Shangguan Xuanyi’s words. This guy must still be angry because he was interrupted earlier!

So petty!

"Never mind, I will go find Xiao’er and see how many medicines we can take out from her pharmacy! Otherwise, even if I don’t sleep, I cannot produce so many medicines!" After saying this, Shangguan Xuanhao walked towards the exit of the study room.

"Stop!" Shangguan Xuanyi commanded sternly.

How dare he go and involve the girl! He must want to see Xiao’er in an awkward dilemma!

Shangguan Xuanhao smiled triumphantly inside. Hum, you little rascal, I’ve got you! He knew that as soon as he mentioned getting help from Xiao’er, Shangguan Xuanyi would lose his composure.

However, Shangguan Xuanhao still turned his head with a flattering face and said, "Sixth Imperial Brother, you must help me! The herbs haven’t fully grown yet. Where do I find so many herbs? Without herbs, how can we produce so many medicinal supplies? The only ones I can rely on are you and Xiao’er!"

"If even you can’t find so many herbs, where can we find them!"

"That girl Xiao’er runs a pharmacy. Don’t think I don’t know that your plantations are spread all over the country. Such an amount of medicinal supplies is not a problem at all!"

"Humph, what a great plan you made. Just because we have plantations, it doesn’t mean we owe you anything!"

"I promise you, if you help me this time, I will go through fire and water for you whenever you need help. I would not hold back at all!" Shangguan Xuanhao took an oath.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi finally spoke, "You don’t have to worry about this. Those medicinal supplies did not fall into the water. They are still safely on their way!"

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Xuanhao quickly understood, "Are you asying the medicines that fell into the water were fake?"

"Yes." That batch of medicines was a trap set by him and Shangguan Ruixi to determine who the traitor was.

The real medicines have already been transported by his own men.

Getting the affirmative answer, Shangguan Xuanhao was relieved, "You scared me to death! I thought we would have to retreat from the battle! Sixth Imperial Brother, luckily we have you! I promise I will never barge into your bedroom again and interrupt your intimate moments! I understand that having kids can often interrupt such moments at night. I guess that’s why you couldn’t resist during the daytime. As someone who has been there before, I get it! Rest assured, I will definitely not spread rumors about your daylight escapades!"

After resolving the matter, Shangguan Xuanhao’s mouth couldn’t help but start getting cheeky again.

And so, somebody was really thrown out of the Wang Mansion this time, even knocking his forehead in the process.

Once Shangguan Xuanyi returned to the room, seeing that his face was a bit cold, Xiao’er asked, "What’s wrong?"

"The transportation route of the medicines has been leaked again. The caravan transporting the medicines suddenly lost all of them into the river while crossing a bridge in Zhang City. However, luckily, this batch of medicines was fake. It was a trap set by Gong Zixuan and me." As Shangguan Xuanyi said this, a flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes.

Hearing these words, Xiao’er was taken aback. "Do you know who did it?"

Xiao’er had some suspicions in her heart but was a little unsure.

"Shangguan Wanru."

"Is it really her?" Xiao’er was somewhat unwilling to believe.

"She probably knows that Gong Zixuan is not dead."

Apart from this reason, they could not come up with any other reason for Shangguan Wanru to help Nangong Country.

After all, she is a princess of Minze Country, and she has nothing to do with Nangong Country anymore.

The one who rescued Princess Ling’er last time was Gong Zixuan, even though Shangguan Xuanyi ordered checkpoints to be set up at all ferry crossings to catch them, they were not faster than the two. In the end, they still managed to successfully escape back to Nangong Country.

"By the way, when I was shopping with the Fifth Princess, we saw the Princess at the Fengxiang cosmetics shop..." Xiao’er spoke about the strange things she noticed at the spice shop.

"She must have passed the message through the people in that shop."

He wanted to see how many spies Nangong Country had planted in Minze Country!

"What happens now?" Xiao’er was asking about the punishment that Shangguan Wanru would receive.

Shangguan Xuanyi’s words meant that he had found evidence to prove that it was indeed Shangguan Wanru who did it.

What she had done is equivalent to treason.

"A prince who violates the law will be punished just like ordinary people! Uncle Wang will give an answer." Shangguan Xuanyi said emotionlessly. He had never sympathized with traitors.

Even if they were spared capital punishment, they would hardly escape serious punishment!

Xiao’er felt a mixture of emotions. She remembered the days when Shangguan Wanru and herself got along well before Shangguan Wanru’s marriage. She could not have imagined the situation today.

At this time, Yang Liu and Yang Mei brought the food and placed it on the table.

Xiao’er then said, "Let’s eat first. I’m hungry."

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: it seems that he could only feed a certain person first before he could have his meal.

After lunch, Shangguan Xuanyi wanted to continue the unfinished business with Xiao’er, but someone called him away.

Tea House

Shangguan Xuanyi, Shangguan Ruixi, and Shangguan Xuanhao watched as the cosmetics spice shop was sealed by government soldiers. The shopkeeper and the shop’s staff were all arrested.

Upon learning that they were spies for the Kingdom of Nangong, the common people fiercely threw rotten vegetables and stinky eggs at the shopkeeper and the staff.

"Fortunately, we found out early this time. If not, two batches of medicines would have been ruined, and the consequences would have been unimaginable." Shangguan Xuanhao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he received the news, he was terrified!

Shangguan Xuanyi kept silent. The loss of two crates of medicinal supplies did not shake them at all. But until the last moment, Shangguan Xuanyi would not expose their trump card. Shangguan Xuanhao was someone who would let his guard down knowing a shortcut was available.

Hearing these words, Shangguan Ruixi felt very ashamed, "It’s all my fault. It won’t happen next time. I will certainly explain this to everyone!"

He never would have imagined things would come to this!

The soldiers turned the entire shop upside down but did not find any useful information after an entire afternoon.

"Those people are really cunning!" Shangguan Xuanhao gritted his teeth in anger.

Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t expect to find anything useful here either! His goal was to destroy Nangong’s stronghold in Minze Country for collecting information.

Of course, Nangong Country has more than this one information-collecting point in Minze Country. But by destroying this one, the next one would have a chance to surface, right?
