A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

“Princess, Guan Rao is resting today. Do you want to come another day or leave the money here? I’ll hand it to him when he goes to work,” the shopkeeper said.

When Ning Yue heard this, she placed the silver in the shopkeeper’s hand.

“Thank you, shopkeeper. Just now, you said that there’s a superior-class private room for us. Can we go up? We can try your food too.”

“Of course. This is the honor of our small shop. Please go upstairs.” The shopkeeper gestured for the two of them to go upstairs respectfully.

Ning Yue sat in the private room. The shopkeeper personally welcomed them and introduced all the special dishes in the shop.

Ning Yue causally ordered a few dishes. “Alright, that’s all. You have to hurry up. We still have something to do.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, “Princess, don’t worry. The restaurant has always been very fast at cooking. While we can guarantee speed, we can also guarantee the quality and taste of food.”

It had to be said that putting aside what the shopkeeper had done, he was indeed an outstanding shop assistant.

As he chatted with the customers, he introduced almost all the good points of the shop so that he wouldn’t arouse disgust.

However, it was precisely because of what the shopkeeper had done that Ning Yue was very unhappy.

After the shopkeeper left, Ning Yue couldn’t help but purse her lips and say softly, “This person is outstanding in business, but his character is really not good.”

Jiang Ying nodded. He wanted to say something to Ning Yue, but this was a hotel after all. Who knew if anyone was eavesdropping next door? So he didn’t say anything else.

The dishes were served very quickly. After Ning Yue and Jiang Ying finished eating and paid the meal cost, they left.

The shopkeeper was still suspicious of their arrival. After the two of them left, he immediately sent someone to investigate their motive for coming here.

In the end, his investigation was even stranger. It was as if the two of them had decided to come at the last minute.

However, combined with Ning Yue’s question about Guang Yao, the shopkeeper still had a guess.

“It seems that these two people are here to investigate what happened in the previous dynasty.” The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes as he muttered to himself.

Not long after the two of them left, Ning Yue sent a few guards to observe the situation in the restaurant.

The reason why she did not attack rashly was that the shopkeeper was hiding the matter of Guang Yao.

Actually, Guang Yao’s surname was very strange to begin with, but there was nothing wrong with calling it a coincidence.

However, if the shopkeeper wanted to hide Guang Yao’s name, people could not help but associate it with Guang Yao’s surname.

“You suspect that Guang Yao is related to the previous dynasty?” Jiang Ying asked Ning Yue.

“Not only do I suspect that Guang Yao is related to the Qin Dynasty, but I also suspect that you’re related to Young Master Chen. Just look at how he hid Guang Yao.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Jiang Ying’s expression turned serious.

Why were there so many things happening recently? Lian Xin’s matter had yet to be resolved, and now there was the matter of the previous dynasty.

However, if it was related to the previous dynasty, it would not be their business. It would be the emperor’s business.

Jiang Ying thought for a moment and told Ning Yue, “I have to tell Brother about this. I’m going to the palace immediately.”

Ning Yue nodded. Since the situation involved the previous dynasty, they had to tell the emperor.

After Jiang Ying packed up, he entered the palace and told the emperor about the matters related to the previous dynasty. The emperor’s eyes widened as he looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief.

“How? How does it have anything to do with the previous dynasty?” The emperor’s voice couldn’t stop trembling.

It was not surprising that the emperor was so afraid. This was because as long as it involved the previous dynasty in Russia and Great Yun Nation, it would never be peaceful.

“Imperial Brother, should we tell Uncle Emperor about this?” Jiang Ying asked.

The emperor took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Soon, he opened them again. When he opened them, his eyes were firm.

He told Jiang Ying, “Since I’ve already taken over this heavy responsibility from Father, you should let me handle these things.”

He was determined not to let these things disturb the Retired Emperor’s rest. The Retired Emperor was old. As his son, he had to consider his father’s health. Jiang Ying nodded. “Brother, what do you need me to do?”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, “Even if we know that this matter is related to the previous dynasty, we can’t act rashly, because everything related to the previous dynasty is too mysterious.”

“We don’t know them well enough. We can’t act rashly.” The emperor repeatedly instructed Jiang Ying to be careful..
