In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1299 - 1208: Sense of Crisis

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1208: Sense of Crisis

Ye Han turned his head and could see Qin Yi walking in with a smile on his face.

"His Majesty? What brings you here!"

Ye Han hurried forward to greet him: "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

"Brother Ye, please rise."

Qin Yi, still smiling, walked in and slowly sat down, holding Su Pan’er’s hand: "Come, Brother Ye, please sit down and talk."

"What exactly happened?"

Ye Han sat down and immediately began to ask.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er exchanged a look, and then he began to speak: "Brother Ye, you must have noticed too, right? Before, I had Pan’er take a few children out of the palace, even though it was risky. But to draw out the hidden enemy, some risks are necessary!"

Several "accidents" had inexplicably given Qin Yi a strong sense of crisis, prompting this desperate strategy.

"This really is a last resort! If you truly want to lure the snake out of its hole, the best way would be to have your subordinates disguise themselves as the Empress and the Princesses. That would be foolproof. As it stands now, if anything were to happen to the First Princess or the Second Princess - three long and two short - it would be too late to regret then!"

Ye Han’s heart was still pounding wildly even now!

He couldn’t forget the scene he had witnessed before, those dozens of long swords thrusting toward the grape arbor!

"There won’t be any accidents."

Su Pan’er said very confidently: "Brother Ye, didn’t you notice the spot where I sat down, that big rock?"

"Hm?"

This time, Ye Han was indeed surprised!

"They must have noticed my presence. But how would they pay attention to what seemed to be an ordinary rock? There’s a significant trick inside that rock!"

Su Pan’er cleared up his confusion.

In fact, there was more to the rock than met the eye. Su Pan’er’s inspiration came from the magic trick of "Metamorphosis," utilizing the difference in human sight lines to design the scene before them.

After learning the truth, Ye Han finally relaxed, and his usual composure gradually returned.

"Your Majesty, let your humble servant interrogate the masked person. We must extract useful information from his mouth!"

"There is no need to act yet. We can wait until we have results from the other side." Qin Yi waved his hand.

Only then did Ye Han realize that Zhang, the Commander, wasn’t present.

Thereon, the conversation was light-hearted, and they talked about the benefits of the farm.

Little Yanyan, although a bit scared, was unharmed. Holding Little Sugar Bean’s hand as she walked in, she proudly wrinkled her little nose at Ye Han.

"Uncle Ye, you are so silly! Even Yanyan knew about Empress Mother’s strategy, but you didn’t. And you left Yanyan behind on the road, so mean, hmph!"

Speaking of Little Yanyan’s temperament, it was somewhat similar to Su Pan’er’s.

This also made Ye Han unable to refuse any of her requests.

"It’s Uncle’s fault. I apologize to Yanyan. What gift would you like? Uncle will prepare it for you!"

"Anything will do?"

Little Yanyan’s eyes instantly lit up!

Such behavior immediately amused the three people present, "That’s right, anything is possible!"

"Great!"

Little Yan Yan let go of Little Sugar Bean’s hand and sprinted towards Ye Han, "Uncle Ye, they say there is a small hill behind the manor. There are many wild mushrooms on the hill recently! Uncle Ye, can you take Little Yan Yan to pick wild mushrooms, please? Please?"

"This..."

Ye Han hesitated. He hadn’t anticipated that Little Yan Yan would make such a request.

In his understanding, little girls mostly liked pretty things like jewelry and clothes. But he didn’t expect the First Princess to have such unique taste!

His hesitation made Little Yan Yan unhappy, "You just said it yourself, Yan Yan can ask for anything. You’re still King Ye of Our Great Zhou, respected by tens of thousands, and now you’re going back on your word! Humph, I don’t want to play with you anymore!"

"But..."

Ye Han wanted to agree, but he didn’t dare to. He could only cast a pleading look towards the Emperor and Empress.

Qin Yi remained silent, still sitting and quietly watching the interactions between everyone.

Su Pan’er, on the other hand, remembered the rain that had fallen yesterday afternoon.

"The temperature is suitable now, and with the rain from the day before yesterday, there should be mushrooms growing on the mountain. However, although wild mushrooms are delicious, many types are poisonous. Even if we go to pick them, we have to be careful and identify them properly before we can eat them."

"Empress Mother, have you forgotten that Yan Yan has been learning from you how to identify wild mushrooms since she was little? Which ones are poisonous and which are not, Yan Yan recognizes many of them."

Little Yan Yan, being fickle, released Ye Han and threw herself into Su Pan’er’s arms, "Empress Mother, let’s go, please! It’s still early, and we rarely leave the palace. We got scared and haven’t come across any fun. At worst, we can just return to the palace a bit later."

Su Pan’er was also quite tempted and turned to look at Qin Yi.

"What do you think?"

Qin Yi understood Su Pan’er’s thoughts and after a moment’s thought, something seemed to flash quickly in his eyes before he nodded.

"It’s not impossible to go. We’ll just wander around the edge and not venture too deep."

The masked men from before were clearly a group, and who knew if there were others hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike. This was a perfect chance to catch them all at once!

With the Emperor’s agreement, Little Yan Yan immediately jumped for joy!

She went down excitedly to prepare.

The farm was bought by Su Pan’er in her earlier years, the land being relatively barren and therefore cheaper in price. Su Pan’er bought it precisely because of this, planting mulberry trees for sericulture.

Later, the farm was managed by Su Ke, Su Huarong, and Lui Muyi. After several improvements, the appearance of the small hill changed as well.

Mulberry trees were still there, mainly preserved for harvesting mulberries. The rest of the farmland and the rocky bumps on the small hillside were planted with many grapes. In addition, a small hill was kept in its original state, a mixed forest of conifers and broad-leaved trees, which was their current target.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er slowly marched towards the small hill.

Little Yan Yan hopped and skipped ahead, the picture of innocence and romance. Little Sugar Bean, however, didn’t want to walk much farther and started fussing to be carried, which was truly speechless.

"Father Emperor, walk faster, faster!"

Little Yan Yan kept calling out to the three of them, wishing she could rush ahead on her own.

"Don’t rush, Little Yan Yan, come back here!"

Su Pan’er reined in the untamed colt, "Do you even remember what you promised me before we left home? If you don’t remember, I wouldn’t mind refreshing your memory!"

Little Yan Yan got scolded and quickly stuck out her tongue, following closely behind Su Pan’er.

Wild mushrooms love to grow in the weather following thunderstorms. The temperature of the golden autumn is high now, and the wild mushrooms were obviously thriving. As previously discussed, they circled around the edge of the small hill, and indeed, the harvest was bountiful!
