Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 306: Prime Minister Yuan's Visit

Jing Qianfan returned to the martial arts gym with a swagger.

There were many women in the martial arts hall who came to practice martial arts. After seeing Jing Qianfan, their eyes couldn't help but fall on him.

Jing's mother coughed, and those people quickly withdrew their gaze and continued to practice martial arts with her.

Jing Qianfan came to the back and searched everywhere.

Perhaps the noisy noise woke up Jing's father. When he thought there was a thief in the house, he saw that it was his son who came back. He had a steamed bun in his mouth and was flipping through something in his hands.

"You little brat, you still remember to come back. I thought you had forgotten about me and your mother."

Jing Qianfan finally found some leftovers in the pot and started to put them into the pot with chopsticks.

Suddenly, he felt a knock on the back of his hand. Jing's father said, "If your mother sees this, she'll scold you again. Get the bowl yourself."

After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Jing Qianfan finally had the energy to talk to his father.

"Dad, how could I forget you and my mother?"

His father's health deteriorated when he was born and he could no longer have children. Later, his mother never remarried, so he was the only boy in the huge martial arts school.

Seeing him wolfing down the food, Jing's father looked a little distressed.

After a while, Jing's mother came in from outside. She looked at the father and son and asked Jing Qianfan, "Are you going out again after you come back this time?"

Ever since Jing Qianfan came back from outside, they thought he would stay at home quietly for a while.

But he always ran away and refused to listen no matter what they said.

"Ah."

After eating, Jing Qianfan wiped his mouth casually and said.

Mother Jing sighed and said, "You are not a child anymore..."

Jing Qianfan quickly interrupted her, "Stop, Mom, I have my own plans. And you don't know, what I'm doing now is a big deal!"

"What major event can be as important as your lifelong event? Look at any man like you, running around all day and being so unruly. If you keep going like this, no girl will be interested in you. Besides, you can't even embroider a purse now. If you get married in the future, I'm afraid you'll be despised!"

Jing's mother tried to persuade Jing Qianfan earnestly.

Jing Qianfan has heard these words since he was a child, and his ears are almost callused.

He didn't think that only men should learn these things. The hand that holds an embroidery needle can also hold a sword.

Although Jing's father didn't say anything, he also thought so.

He felt a little regretful now. Perhaps he should not have let him practice martial arts with Jing's mother in the first place. He should have asked a master to teach him etiquette and embroidery skills.

"Mom, I have my own plans. Um, I'm going out!"

Not wanting to listen to his parents' nagging anymore, Jing Qianfan slipped away from his mother's hands like a slippery loach after eating.

In the palace.

People kept wanting to visit the Queen's bedroom, but they were all stopped by the Princess's men.

"Please return, my lords. Her Highness has ordered that His Majesty needs to rest."

A group of people in official robes stood outside the door, muttering, "But it's been almost a month now, and we haven't even seen His Majesty. We're really worried!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness has been seeking a royal physician for His Majesty. However, as you all know, His Majesty is ill from overwork and will not recover anytime soon."

The guard took out the words he had prepared long ago.

But there was one person who looked at the closed door thoughtfully, turned around and left without saying anything.

Yuan Xiang found Yuan Yingxue and asked him about the situation.

The moment Yuan Yingxue saw her mother, she began to feel nervous.

Because of the incident with the little princess, he caused his mother to lose some power, which was also an important source of income for their Yuan family, and now it is lost.

The two of them entered the house, and after the door was closed, Prime Minister Yuan was the first to speak: "Has Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess taken the initiative to look for you these days?"

He shook his head bitterly and said, "No."

The two of them were like strangers, and he had no chance to see her alone.

Yuan Xiang added, "Now, mother has an important matter for you."

Yuan Yingxue immediately raised her head and looked at her.

At such a critical moment, what could his mother ask her to do?

As expected, Prime Minister Yuan said, "If I remember correctly, Her Highness the Princess secretly trained a group of people, and with the token in her hand, she can order them to do things. What I want you to do is take the token from her."

Yuan Yingxue said without hesitation: "I'm afraid this will be a bit difficult for me. I can't even get close to her right now, and she hates me to the extreme."

Yuan Xiang said impatiently, "But now, you are the only one who can approach her openly. I'll give you half a month. If you can't get it, I will only hold you responsible."

Yuan Yingxue lowered her head and said, "Okay, I'll do my best."

Only then was Prime Minister Yuan satisfied.

What she had to do now was to win over other people. After explaining the matter to Yuan Yingxue, she turned around and left.

......

General's Mansion.

Although General Gu was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Prime Minister Yuan, he still welcomed her in.

Prime Minister Yuan had a sad look on his face and sighed, "Have you heard about what's going on in the palace? Now Her Majesty..."

"I heard about it too. I wanted to go visit His Majesty, but was stopped."

Yuan Xiang seemed to have thought of something and said, "I heard that the princess has been plotting something. Could it be that she has been waiting for this day for a long time?"

General Gu frowned and said, "Be careful with your words."

Originally, her relationship with Prime Minister Yuan was average, and the two were just acquaintances in the court.

Prime Minister Yuan had always looked down upon these military generals, believing them to be illiterate and possessing only strength.

But today she suddenly came to her house and talked to her about things in the palace, which made it hard for people not to be suspicious.

"We are really worried about Your Majesty. I wonder if you have contacted Your Majesty?" Prime Minister Yuan asked tentatively.

General Gu did not tell her about her previous correspondence with the empress and shook his head.

Yuan Xiang said helplessly: "I have not been able to get any news from His Majesty. If I could contact His Majesty now, I would know what is going on."

General Gu couldn't help but ask her, "If I remember correctly, isn't Yingxue in the palace? Could it be that even he doesn't know the slightest bit of information?"

"Don't mention it. That child is not very good. He has not been able to capture the heart of Her Highness the Princess for so long, and can only support the children she had with other men."

General Gu remained silent and looked outside again.

Later, Yuan Xiangcai stated his purpose.

"Oh, Old Gu, I have a plan. How about we rescue His Majesty first?"

General Gu had originally planned to rescue the empress, but when he heard Prime Minister Yuan ask this, he couldn't help but become extremely alert.

"But you also know that the palace is heavily guarded."
