The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 257 Believe

"What else do you want to know?"

Prince Rui looked at Ye Xinran.

He wanted to see how ambitious this little girl was.

Does she want to find out the royal secrets?

Unexpectedly, Ye Xinran did not continue to inquire about the Third Prince. Instead, she asked, "I heard that the war in the northern border is tense. Can Your Majesty tell me about the situation there?"

Border wars are not something that ordinary people like them need to worry about.

However, there have been rumors on the streets recently that the food and fodder shipped to the northern border has been lost.

There will soon be heavy snow over there and the mountains will be blocked. If we lose the food this time, by the time next spring comes, I'm afraid all the people in the Northern Frontier camp will be dead.

What the people were most concerned about was not the life or death of those soldiers, but the fact that if the northern border was really lost, the court would definitely have to recruit soldiers and increase taxes.

They will be the ones who suffer then.

When King Rui heard Ye Xinran's question, his first reaction was that her concerns were the same as those of other people.

But on second thought, I understood that the reason why she cared about the war in the northern border was probably because she was worried that the Leng family's business would be affected.

"Military affairs are the secrets of the imperial court. I don't know who deliberately leaked the news this time. I'm afraid it was done to disrupt the people's hearts.

Since you asked, I won't hide it from you. The rumor is true. The last batch of grain was hijacked on the road, and none of the soldiers escorting it survived.

However, the northern border can still be defended for the time being, and the imperial court is also raising military rations and transporting them to the northern border at full speed."

"Is it in time?" Ye Xinran looked anxious.

Her reaction stunned King Rui for a moment.

"Why, Miss Lu, do you know someone in the Northern Frontier Camp?"

Ye Xinran was surprised at King Rui's sharpness. She remained calm and continued, "It's not that I care about someone, but as a citizen of Daliang, I can't bear to see the territory of Daliang being seized by some barbarians.

Besides, the Leng family also has a branch in the northern border town, and my mother is really worried about the situation there."

"I see!"

King Rui nodded.

Ye Xinran's explanation was the same as he had expected.

But for some reason, he always felt that Ye Xinran had not said something.

"The Northern Frontier relies on those soldiers to guard it. The imperial court will definitely find a way to send food there, right?"

Ye Xinran couldn't help but asked another question.

Prince Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "The court will certainly not sit idly by."

"That's good!"

Ye Xinran felt relieved for the time being.

"You just said that you can cure Yan'er's disease. How do you plan to treat it?"

King Rui brought the topic back.

This is what he is most concerned about now.

"I have my own set of treatment methods. If Your Majesty is worried, you can check the progress of my treatment at any time. However, some of my methods are confidential. When the time comes, Your Majesty can ask someone to help me guard the door."

"You have to understand that I don't necessarily want Yan'er to become a normal person. No matter what, the first prerequisite is to ensure Yan'er's safety."

King Rui was still a little worried and emphasized it again.

Ye Xinran comforted him: "The friendship between Chen Yan and I is a kind of fate. Just like the prince said, even if I can't cure Chen Yan, with our current friendship, the prince will protect us mother and daughter.

So I want to cure him, and it is also my own wish.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

King Rui was persuaded by Ye Xinran.

Rather than saying it was persuasion, it was the obsession in his heart that made him prefer to believe what Ye Xinran said.
