Then, within the energy-release range of the yellow soil, she would scatter the cumin seeds. Within that day, she would be able to grow cumin that could be harvested.
If Sifu knew that cumin would taste better when sprinkled on roasted food, he would definitely want to add this to his business. If he needed more cumin, she could use this method to take out more yellow soil from the space and let more cumin grow in the wild. That way, her family would be able to harvest more cumin.
It was good to know that the yellow soil in the space had such an effect after testing it out with Xue Yan the other day.
The yellow soil in her space had grown bigger. When she entered the space a few days ago, it had grown to almost three acres now.
The pond was bigger, but it was still clear. There was nothing but water in it.
It would take quite a long time to roast this lamb. When Xue Dafu and the others came back from the workshop for lunch, the whole lamb was finally done being roasted so that they could eat it together.
Although she didn’t add cumin, there were still enough ingredients that could be added to enhance the flavor. Jiang Yue ate the lamb that Zi Cui cut for her and felt that the taste was not bad.
At the same time, Shao Zhongxi was riding a horse and wearing a big fur cloak.
He ignored the wind and snow and escorted a carriage back to the capital. There was only one day left before they reached the capital.
Suddenly, someone riding a fast horse rushed towards him and blocked his way.
“Your Highness!” The man reigned in his horse, but before he could dismount and salute, he reported, “Bad news, Ji Yi is gone!”
Shao Zhongxi’s expression turned ugly.
Ji Yi was gone, which meant that the evidence against the Ji family and Consort Yi was gone.
It was Shao Zhongxi’s attendant who asked anxiously, “How did he disappear? Isn’t Shao Boqi personally protecting him?”
“There were too many people there, and he was injured. If Ji Yi hadn’t seen a sword coming at him, he would have pounced at Shao Boqi with all his might and blocked the sword. Because he blocked this sword, he got kidnapped. Shao Boqi sent me to report that the Ji family and Consort Yi are staking everything on this and that Your Highness must be careful.”
It was also at this moment that another person rode over hurriedly.
As soon as he arrived beside Shao Zhongxi, the man lowered his voice and reported, “Jiuye has already brought His Highness into the capital safely.”
The Ji family and Consort Yi would only think that the Crown Prince was either in a carriage escorted by a group of them or that they were covering for him with so many groups of people. The Crown Prince was either caught in the middle or following behind them. They would never have thought they would take such a risk and let Jiuye bring the Crown Prince into the capital alone.
Among the dozen or so groups of people, the fastest group had yet to reach the capital.
The most important thing now was to make the Crown Prince known to the palace that he was the Crown Prince.
As for the fact that he couldn’t deal with the Ji family and Consort Yi this time, there was still plenty of time in the future to settle things.
With that thought in mind, Shao Zhongxi continued to rush back to the capital.
A few groups of people had already been intercepted. His group would definitely be intercepted before they entered the capital.
Sure enough, Shao Zhongxi’s group was intercepted that night. Although those who came to intercept Wei Zizhan did not find him in the carriage, they could not report it to the Ji family and Consort Yi because Shao Zhongxi made sure that they would never return.
Since they couldn’t catch him alive, they naturally had to kill him.
Otherwise, would he let the Ji family and Consort Yi continue to be their subordinates and use them?
Who in the right mind would want that to happen?
