“It’s normal. This land hasn’t been fertilized for so many years. It’s already not bad that the seedlings survived.
“The next time you water the plants, prepare some wood ash and water it together to see the effect.
“There was also fertilizer from the livestock pen and mud in the pond. They would all be good for the land in the future. From now on, just start accumulating the fertilizer for the next season.”
Head Fang nodded, explained the manor situation to them, and brought them around.
Unexpectedly, grapes grew the best among all the crops in the village.
This gave Zhou Ying a bold idea. If the yield and taste of grapes were good next year, she would plant grapes all over the manor.
At most, she would buy another for the vegetables.
After they finished looking around, they went to the livestock breeding area again. They returned home once they confirmed that all the little animals looked good.
At the same time, King Rui finished his breakfast and went to the palace to meet the Emperor, accompanied by his guards.
After entering the royal study, King Rui immediately kneeled and greeted him. “Greetings, Imperial Father. I’m sorry that I did not enter the palace in time to report.”
“Eunuch Li, please give him a seat.” The Emperor stood up, walked down, and looked at him.
He looked at King Rui’s haggard face and sunken eyes and said, “I heard that you were assassinated again.”
“Yes, the scale this time is not small. The other party sent more than 200 killers.
“If it wasn’t for the vast amount of special powder supplied by Gu Chengrui, I would probably have to say goodbye to Imperial Father forever.”
“Don’t say such depressing words. You are my son, and a dragon won’t have a snake for a son. How can you die so easily?”
King Rui sneered inwardly after hearing this but still nodded with a poker face. “Fortunately, I have Father to protect me.”
“Alright, enough of this nonsense. Do you know who did it?”
King Rui shook his head after hearing this. This time, the other party did not leave any evidence.
Although he had a guess in his heart, it could not be used as evidence, so it was better to pretend he did not know.
Otherwise, it would be his fault in the end.
The Emperor saw through his thoughts at a glance. Although he did not show it on the surface, he was still quite satisfied with King Rui.
At least this son of his was someone who could keep his cool and wouldn’t complain behind someone else’s back.
He asked, “What’s going on with the East Continent this time? Do you know why they invaded?”
“Because the East Continent has many mountains and little land, they don’t produce much food. Therefore, they have always wanted to invade our country.
“This time was no exception. Looking at their skinny appearance, this sudden all-out attack was probably for food.”
“That’s true. The new grain from the south has arrived, after all.” The Emperor nodded in agreement.
He also learned that the East Continent did not have the ability to organize a large-scale battle for the time being. “It seems that your injuries this time are quite severe. Stay in the capital to recuperate and accompany your wives.”
“I understand. If you don’t have any further instructions, I would like to go to the Empress Dowager’s place.”
“Go. It’s been a long time since you two last met.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he returned to his throne.
After King Rui left, he called Xiao Heng in and asked, “How’s the investigation on Seventh Su going?”
“Your Majesty, it has been verified that Seventh Su indeed owns the Ginkgo Leaf organization. In addition, the four county magistrates that were replaced last year were all led by him.
“Also, he had used all sorts of methods to seize many properties and shops…” Xiao Heng’s report took almost an hour.
In short, Seventh Su has committed a plethora of crimes over the past few years.
They even found out Qiao Lanlan gave birth control pills to Sun Miaoke and the others, even though King Rui had kept it under wraps..
