The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 388 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
A Fei came home happy to make a lot of money. To celebrate, A Fei treated the two men who had been tailing him at the bar on the second floor of Chuntian. Thanks to his low alcohol tolerance, A Fei easily got drunk and ended up in the current situation.
In front of Chuntian, on the side of the road. There was a debate between Jinfu and Jingu and the person who was the source of the debate was actually drunk unconscious.
" Thank you young master Jiang. I'll take the princess home. "
" No, let me take him. You're the princess' bodyguard, it's inappropriate for you to carry her. I'm sorry, I'm not talking rudely, but your status is different. "
' Then do you think you deserve only a noble? ' Jingu continued to grumble inwardly.
No one was willing to budge, the two men pulled A Fei's arms against each other. Making the three people is now a spectacle of pedestrians.
" Look, it looks like the three of them are involved in a love triangle and the man in the middle of it that they are both fighting over. "
" You're right. Very very dear. They are all handsome men, but must have sexual perversion. If the three of them were normal, maybe I would choose one of them to be my daughter-in-law. "
" I am too. My daughter is young and beautiful. I'm sure it would fit perfectly with one of them. "
The chat was able to be heard by Jingu and Jinfu. They almost vomit blood when people think that they are same-sex couples and are fighting over lovers.
Not wanting to be the center of attention, Jingu finally chose to budge and let Jinfu carry A Fei on his back. Along the way, Jingu looked at the two people in front of him with complicated gazes.
There was a sense of unwillingness when A Fei was on Jinfu's back. It felt like he wanted to pull A Fei and shouldered her and took her away.

The next day, A Fei woke up with a great headache. He pinched his head which felt heavy as if a large hammer had hit him.
" Daughter, are you awake? I have also made ginger water to eliminate the effects of drunkenness. It's noon, do you want to eat something? " Simply, Xiao Er prepared all the needs of A Fei.
The moment the window opened, the sunlight dazzled A Fei's eyes. He squinted to look outside. He realized that the sun was already above, it was probably already 10 or 11 in the morning.
A Fei shook his head weakly. " no. My stomach is too nauseous to put anything in. I'm afraid I'm going to get it out again if I force myself to eat. Please prepare the ginger water you said earlier. "
" good. "
" Oh, where is Jingu? "
" Jingu is outside, princess. Do you want me to call him? "
" It's not necessary. "
After cleansing himself, A Fei immediately enjoyed the ginger water made by Xiao Er. The warm ginger water immediately flowed in his throat and stomach, making the nauseous feeling that had attacked him gradually disappear.
" Daughter, His Highness the Crown Prince said that if you are awake, he asks you to meet him"
A Fei stopped drinking and turned to Xiao Er. " What's my sister looking for me? "
" I don't know princess. "
" all right. After this I'll see him. "
Not wanting to make his brother wait for long, A Fei immediately headed for the crown prince's palace. His feet steadily stepped into the brother's study.
" Sister Jinfu, are you here too? " A Fei had not expected to meet Jinfu again after last night making a little fuss.
It seemed that he had just met A Feng.
Ever since he occupied the crown prince's seat, A Feng's relationship with Jiang Jinfu had indeed become closer. It was very different when compared to the relationship of Jinfu and A Guang in the past.
" Daughter.. It so happens that we meet again. Do you want to meet the crown prince? "
" yes. Oh yeah, I'm sorry for last night, brother. Your back must have hurt because it had to carry me. You should have let Jingu carry me. " At first glance he glanced at his bodyguard who was standing not far from him.
Jinfu chuckles. " It doesn't matter. I'm just happy to carry you. Uh you mean I'm glad I could help you. " A Fei could see Jinfu's ears were red.
" Okay, sister, I'll go see my sister first. "
Jingu who had been silent since watching the interaction of the two could only hold back. His heart was suddenly jealous, he did not like it if A Fei smiled at the young master Jiang.
The intense heat of Jingu's heart, the initial intention of making A Fei like him, ended up just the opposite. He always burns when he sees the woman joking or just talking to other men.
" Come here and sit there. " A Feng immediately told his sister to sit in front of him.
" What's up, brother? "
" You've heard of the calamity that occurred in Wuyuan County. " A Fei nodded.
" This time, the invading pest is much more severe. This outbreak threatened farmers to fail again. If this happens, there will be a famine throughout the district. While supplies in the palace granary are also thinning. It was certain that the palace could not send enough help. Therefore, I give you the task of making a poison that can kill pests but not poison plants. Can you be A Fei? "
A Fei was still silently digesting the elder brother's words. He listened to A Feng's explanation, but there was a part that he did not understand.
" Sister, may I be clear. You ask me to make pest poison, while you know I only make poison for humans. "
" right. Is that any different? Are not both poisons. I'm sure you can make it. "
Sima Feng gave orders to A Fei who was not a botanist.
A Fei rolled his eyes, how could pest poison be equated with human poison.
" Will you eat grass, then? don't be angry, but the cows eat it too. Are not food together. "
" Of course it's not the same. How can you equate a human with a cow. "
" What a difference it makes to you. You equate humans with pests. "
A Feng snorted annoyedly at his brother's reply. Nothing could defeat A Fei's ability to argue.
" all right. I'm sorry, but can you help me complete this task. I talked about this with my dad, and he agreed to it. " This time Sima Feng persuaded the younger brother by carrying the name of the father. He knew because A Fei who was always spoiled by his father would not have the heart to refuse if it was the request of the man who had the status of Jin emperor.
As expected, A Fei finally collapsed as well. He breathed in agreement. " I don't know, but I'll try. After all, this was all for the Jin people as well. So this is not my duty but my responsibility. "
" Thank you. Then be prepared, tomorrow morning you must go there. "
*********
The trip to Wuyuan County took more than three days. It was coincidentally close to the Nan Empire.
As per A Fei's request to the elder brother, she left for Wuyuan county not with the status of a princess but as one of the noble ladies. Not without reason he did. He said it would be more comfortable for residents when interacting with him.
" Miss, we've arrived. "
a knock followed Jingu's voice telling A Fei that they had reached their destination.
" Xiao Er, let's go down. "
A Fei's arrival seemed to have been awaited by the village chief where he had stopped this time. He with some residents welcomed A Fei's arrival in a friendly manner. And vice versa, A Fei also received their good reception.
Then they went around for a while and looked at the situation of the agricultural crops.
A Fei saw a white object attached to each plant and was convinced that it was this foreign white object that caused the crop failure. With this hypothesis A Fei was finally able to draw a conclusion.
" It looks like the plague that's attacking your plants is a kind of fungus. It could be because the weather tends to be humid lately to make the fungus thrive. The reason why this mushroom just attacked this year, I still don't know it. But I will try to make poison to eradicate them but still remain safe for humans and plants. " Papar A Fei to the village chief and also the residents who were seriously listening.
" So because the fungus is absorbing nutrients in its host plant, it makes the plants it occupies wither and eventually die. "
Everyone was dissolved in their own discussion. They did not expect that a white object that looked beautiful like snow was precisely the cause of their crop failure.
"So do you have a solution to get rid of the fungus, miss? " Ask one of the citizens.
A Fei cleared his throat, puzzled over how to say it. It is impossible for him to say that he has not found a solution at this time.
Under the hopeful gazes of the villagers, A Fei sighed then said. " I'm still trying to find a suitable formula. It does not take long, this mushroom-killing poison will be finished. So, for all of you please be patient. "
Although A Fei's answer was not as expected, the citizens tried to understand. So after that short meeting, A Fei and the others headed to the place where he would be staying for a while.
From afar, a man grinned when he saw the woman who had been almost two years unaccounted for. The figure who always disturbed his dreams and also the figure he missed so much and unconsciously had managed to fill his entire heart.
