Chapter 1123: Chapter 1035: Can’t Hide Anything From You
"Wait!"
Su Pan’er cried out.
She suddenly woke up from her sleep.
"Pan’er, what’s wrong?"
Qin Yi, who was beside her bed, looked at her with a worried expression, which made Su Pan’er a bit disoriented. She asked instinctively, "Why are you here?"
"Have you been sleeping in a daze? I’ve been here the whole time."
Qin Yi reached out and touched her forehead. Noticing that it was slightly feverish, he quickly turned around to call for the Imperial Physician.
Looking at the surroundings, Su Pan’er suddenly came back to her senses. She had just fallen asleep after drinking the decoction, but where was that rascal pig from just now? Could it be that the pig had sneaked into her dream?
Whether the rascal pig had infiltrated her dreams, Su Pan’er was not sure. However, ever since that dream, she felt that her spirit had improved a lot, especially the constant dull pain in her belly, which had gradually subsided. It made her think that perhaps the rascal pig really did lend her a hand.
As if fate had guided him, Qin Yi rarely mentioned it.
"Where’s that rascal pig? Why isn’t it here? There’s so much good food it likes today, could it have run off again?"
"Oh, that pig!"
Su Pan’er immediately laughed, "I’ve not been suitable for soaking in the hot springs lately, have I? Well, that pig takes advantage of it, bringing the dog into the bath every day. It doesn’t seem to worry, but every time the dog comes out, its long fur is all frozen into ice. Luckily, it has a strong body, otherwise alternating like this every day, it would have been frozen to death long ago."
The temperature in the hot springs was much higher than the outside, with the water being at least fifty degrees. But once out of the hot springs, it was a freezing snowy-covered land outside.
Everyone knows that boiling water forms a colder ice than cold water does. To go back and forth like this every day, only the rascal pig would think of such a method to torture.
"I actually think, that pig is not simple. It seems to be intentionally training the dog’s cold resistance."
Qin Yi spoke of his speculation.
"You do understand it well."
Su Pan’er didn’t talk much about it when a noise suddenly came from outside the door. She looked up and saw the rascal pig pushing open the tightly closed window and jumping in, followed closely by the dog.
"Pan’er, hehe, Pan’er, look what I’ve brought you!"
The rascal pig waved its little pigtail, quickly came closer, completely ignoring the two hugging each other, and spat out a flower that was blooming especially attractive and delicate.
"Snow lotus?"
Su Pan’er exclaimed.
This snow lotus was blooming exceptionally beautifully, and most importantly, it was completely undamaged, with two droplets of water rolling inside the pistil, looking particularly pretty.
"Are you giving this flower as a bribe for tonight’s meat?"
Qin Yi teased deliberately, examining the rascal pig and dog, "Tsk tsk, it looks like tonight’s meal might not be enough."
This remark made the rascal pig, which was expecting praise, suddenly droop its ears, its eyes narrowing angrily at Qin Yi: "You ingrate, what are you saying? I’ll teach you a lesson, hmpf hmpf..."
Then, it rushed forward and fiercely bit Qin Yi’s foot.
"Hey, this pig is at it again!"
But Qin Yi was no pushover; with a quick dodge, he evaded the bite. Undeterred, the rascal pig lunged again, and Qin Yi dodged once more. In just a short moment, the two had exchanged over a dozen moves.
"Alright! You two stop bickering. This is a gift specially picked for me by the rascal pig, and I’ll make sure to keep it and use it for medicine later; the effects must be very good."
These words finally made the rascal pig stop chasing and biting, and it cocked its head proudly, leaped, and jumped right onto Su Pan’er’s lap.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, only my Pan’er understands Grandpa Pig!"
Such a rascal pig, taking advantage while acting cute.
Qin Yi, although he didn’t understand what the pig was snorting about, could tell from the way Su Pan’er was holding back laughter that it hadn’t said anything nice.
But thinking of Pan’er’s condition, being heavy with child, he bore with it, "Alright, today is Little New Year, so I won’t bother arguing with this rascal pig. Servants, serve the meal!"
Qin Yi taunted the rascal pig with raised eyebrows, unwilling to admit that he was competing with a pig for favor.
The dishes for celebrating Little New Year were already prepared, and once ordered by His Majesty, they were served quickly.
This meal was for the family, which meant just Su Pan’er, Qin Yi, Little Yanyan, Little Sugar Bean, and Mrs. Su-Hua. Initially, Su Pan’er wanted Mrs. Su-Hua to return to the estate and celebrate with Ke’er, but Mrs. Su-Hua, worried about her pregnancy, refused to leave, so Pan’er had no choice but to comply.
Fortunately, with Mrs. Su-Hua present, Little Sugar Bean, who was learning to walk, couldn’t stay still for a moment and tottered between Qin Yi and Mrs. Su-Hua, giggling non-stop.
Fearing a collision with her growing belly, Su Pan’er sat at one end, with the well-behaved Little Yanyan by her side.
Meanwhile, the rascal pig and a dog had their food on another table, both eating messily with mouths full of grease.
"I heard, Big Brother has gone to Qilian Mountain?"
Suddenly, Su Pan’er brought up Su Huarong’s whereabouts.
"Yes, that’s right."
Qin Yi, who was meticulously picking fish bones, nodded in agreement, "Before the year-end sealing of the government office records, didn’t we decide to replace a batch of old horses retired from the battlefield? With the Imperial Court lacking war horses as these are retired, it’s become even scarcer. I thought of transporting another batch of war horses from Qilian Mountain. After much deliberation, I sent your Big Brother along with several officials to oversee the task."
The lush grasslands of Qilian Mountain did indeed produce fine horses, but the supply was much less than the demand, far from enough for the Imperial Court’s conscription.
Su Pan’er narrowed her eyes, "The horse field at Qilian Mountain must be running low on war horses now, right? I remember there’s a lush grassland to the northwest of Qilian Mountain, nestled between the mountain’s waist. One only needs to cross the continuous forest to get there."
Qin Yi’s fish-picking gesture paused slightly, then he smiled and shook his head, "You, your intuition is still so sharp!"
After speaking, he placed a piece of fish into Su Pan’er’s bowl.
"So you mean, Big Brother is accompanying the ministers on the surface to transport a batch of fine horses, but secretly, is it to establish a horse field on that grassland?"
Su Pan’er raised her eyebrows.
She had come to think of that vast tract of grassland upon Qin Yi mentioning the horse field.
Back when she was pregnant with Little Sugar Bean and was retreating with Little Yanyan, with Xiao Min who was in the midst of childbirth by her side, she fled. Along the way, they encountered a dilapidated Taoist temple and met Taoist Priest Liao Chen. Fortunately, in the end, everyone was safe and sound.
And that large grassland, it was among those mountains.
"You! I can’t hide anything from you," Qin Yi said as he glanced at Mrs. Su-Hua, who was eagerly listening in; noticing, she quickly bowed her head to pretend to feed Little Sugar Bean next to her.
"This matter concerns the national foundation; you mustn’t talk about it with anyone before the horse field starts operating."
Though addressed to Su Pan’er, the words were meant for Mrs. Su-Hua’s ears.
