Wen Zhaojun sighed, realizing how cunning the old man was. Cui Lan's death was undoubtedly related to the Cui Family; she was the only one who died, allowing the old man to gain some sympathy. The Emperor, bound by the ties of teacher and student, had no choice but to lighten the punishment.
Military service was terrifying for the common people, so this kind of punishment would not stir up public resentment. With a member of the Cui Family involved in the military, they could easily establish a minor achievement. The Cui Family could then maneuver to not only clear their name but also gain some advantages in military affairs.
Tsk tsk, what a clever strategy; a deadlock had been turned into an opportunity.
Shi Yuan smiled, noting that on the battlefield, swords and blades were blind, and such calculations might not come to fruition. If the Cui Family sent more people for protection, then their member should avoid getting too close to danger; the chances of survival were quite high. In military matters, Lian Baoying had the most authority. She then asked if anyone knew which military camp the Cui Family member had been assigned to.
I only know it is not Lian Family.
That's good.
Shi Yuan added that once the Cui Family entered Wuyuan Marquisate's territory, it was uncertain whether they had received approval from there.
While several people were conversing, Sang Qingxiao spoke little but listened carefully, occasionally responding. Most of her thoughts were focused on the case of the Mirror Demon.
Misha had been wandering around the city for several days without finding any trace of the Mirror Demon. Old Vine and Li Cu also helped by going out to inquire and reported back that there were no abnormalities in the city. Could it be that he was only working on this one case?
Xiaoxiao, Lian Baoying caught a whiff of something delicious from the oven and couldn't help but feel hungry. Is it ready? Can we eat now? The entire courtyard was filled with a sweet aroma that made her dizzy; she wished she could stay there all day long.
Oh, it's ready! I almost forgot; thank you for reminding me; otherwise, it would have burned.
As soon as the lid was lifted, an even stronger fragrance wafted out. Each cupcake was slightly brown on the outside with a tender yellow center that wobbled enticingly with movement, looking quite solid and adorable.
Lian Baoying couldn't wait to take a bite; just as she brought it to her mouth, she felt a slight burn. However, she refused to back down and took a big bite, gasping for air with each breath, eager for it to cool down.
Soft, fluffy, sweet, and fragrant—delicious! Xiaoxiao, with just a bit of flour, a few eggs, and some milk, can you really make something this tasty?
Sang Qingxiao laughed. Didn't you see me make it? You even helped me mix the batter!
It could actually be even better with a layer of soft white creamy frosting on top. Taking a bite would leave a small ring of frosting on her lips; gently licking it off would be the happiest moment for any girl.
Unfortunately, with so much on her mind, she wasn't in the mood to fuss over it and only made a simple cake base paired with some sweet and sour sauce she had prepared earlier; it didn't taste bad at all.
They even packed some to take along. Sang Qingxiao casually handed them a prescription as well.
The day passed until late at night without Misha returning. Sang Qingxiao felt restless and unable to sleep; she wouldn't feel at ease until she saw that Misha was safe.
Old Vine suddenly broke through the ground at her feet. This garden was something he had meticulously cared for, even reluctant to disturb the soil layers. Was it so urgent today? Could it be that there was news?
