Now the two remaining brothers are both useless and never thought of fighting in the first place.

  Therefore, the sage learned from the lesson of the previous emperor and, after careful investigation, appointed a crown prince early in order to dispel the ideas of others.

  Later, the eldest prince and the crown prince suddenly started quarreling, and the power of the eldest prince's side should not be underestimated, so the saint asked Pan Lunchi to investigate.

  After checking, it was found that the eldest prince had no intention of competing with the crown prince at all. On the contrary, he had a very good relationship with the crown prince in private and was only competing with the crown prince on the surface.

  First stabilize those ministers who have joined him because they opposed the crown prince, and also stabilize Concubine Shu.

  When the crown prince ascends the throne, the eldest prince will bring those ministers to join the crown prince.

  Thinking of this, the saint felt even more relieved, and even the fried chicken in his hand tasted more fragrant.

  The third brother sent fried chicken to the prince, and also did not forget to send one to the eldest brother.

  And thinking that it would be inappropriate for the eldest brother to be too close to the crown prince, he was sent directly to the eldest prince's palace.

  It is good as long as brothers love each other.

  As for the fact that the Third Prince came to bring him fried chicken after being reminded by the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince, he slowly got over it.

  Fried chicken can heal his broken heart.

  Gu's fried chicken business was doing well, and after it became stable, it began to gradually expand to other places.

  Just as the waiter said before, wherever there is Gu's snack shop, there will be errand shops and freight shops, and wherever there are these three shops, there will definitely be Gu's fried chicken.

  Gu's fried chicken spread all the way from the capital to surrounding cities.

  The surge in demand for fried chicken has triggered a craze among farmers to raise chickens.

  Every household is trying hard to buy more chickens, lay more eggs, and give birth to more chickens.

  Sell them all to Gu's Fried Chicken, no worries about sales at all.

  Gujia Fried Chicken also publicly acquired a large amount.

  Wherever there is Gujia Fried Chicken, people in the surrounding area are working hard to raise chickens.

  It's not easy to raise pigs and cows because Gu's fried chicken also has pork chop burgers and beef burgers to make.

  While expanding Gujia Fried Chicken, Li Mumu also did not forget to expand the errand shop and freight shop.

  She would go to the temple to burn incense every three to five days, praying for Gu Shangqing's safe return.

  The day when he was supposed to return as agreed with Gu Shangqing was approaching, but there was still no news from Gu Shangqing.

  Even Gu's mother kept muttering, "I don't know what Shang Qing went to do this time. He hasn't come back in such a long time, and there's not even a letter."

  "Yes." Father Gu sighed sadly, "Even before, when he led the troops to fight, he would often write back to report his safety. But this time, he didn't even send a single letter back."

  "Shang Qing has always been a prudent and thoughtful person. He never forgot to send us letters when he went out to fight. It is impossible for him to forget this time, unless he has no way to send letters home." Gu Shangyong said, "Mu Mu, do you know what Shang Qing did this time?"

  Li Mumu shook her head and concealed: "He didn't tell me, but according to my guess, it should be very dangerous."

  "That must be him, otherwise he wouldn't have been gone for so long without any news." Mother Gu had a sad face, and was extremely worried, "Shang Qing... he wouldn't..."

  What happened?

  Mother Gu didn't say it, and as long as she didn't say it, it wouldn't come true.

  "Dad, Mom, I want to go back to Chong'an." Li Mumu said.

  "Why do you suddenly want to go back?" asked Gu's mother.

  "Although I don't know what my husband's mission is, he has always been dealing with the Turks." Li Mumu said, "Chong'an has errand shops and freight shops, and even errand shops and freight shops are opened closer to the border."

  "I want to go over and ask the errand shops and freight shops for information. Maybe I can find out something." Li Mumu said.

  "You...you mean Shang Qing went to the Turks?" Gu Shangyong asked in surprise.

  Li Mumu hurriedly shook her head, "No, I don't know either. I just think that my husband's missions are mostly related to the Turks. We are far away in the capital, and we don't know the situation in the Turks. It's far worse than when we were in Chong'an, where we could hear some rumors."

  "Now that we have the errand shop and the freight shop, it should be more convenient to go to the border to get information than before." Li Mumu said, "If I can know the situation in the Turkic side, maybe I can guess a little bit about my husband's side."

  "It's too dangerous for you to go alone." Mother Gu said, "Ask your elder brother and second brother to go with you."

  "Mom, no matter how good our relationship is, we still have to avoid suspicion when we are outside." Li Mumu said, "It's too easy to get gossip if I ask my elder brother and second brother to go with me."

  "But you can go by yourself, let us

  How can I be assured?" Mother Gu said, "Nothing is more important than your safety. As for other things, those gossipers can talk about them as they please."

  Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping looked at each other, and after confirming each other's thoughts, they said, "We don't mind. Let your elder brother and second brother go with you, so that we can feel at ease."

  Li Mumu said, "I plan to ask Miss Li for help and see if she can lend me a few female servants who are good at martial arts."

  "If not, ask elder brother for help." Li Mumu didn't want Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei to go with him, mainly to hide the fact that Gu Shangqing went to Turkestan alone.

  If the two of them follow, they will be unable to hide it sooner or later.

  "Okay." Mother Gu nodded. After all, it was more convenient for the maid to follow than for Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei.

  Moreover, Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei can only be said to have some strength but no kung fu.

  After getting her family's consent, Li Mumu went to find Li Zhiyin.

  She certainly wouldn't go alone.

  Not only did she go to find Li Zhiyin, she also went to find Madam Shang.

  Both of them should have some female soldiers.

  Sure enough, when they were at the border, General Li specially trained some female soldiers to follow Li Zhiyin for her safety.

  Li Zhiyin immediately wanted to give Li Mumu ten people, but Li Mumu shook her head and refused. "Too many people would make the target too big, and it would be easy to alert the enemy. I only need one or two people who can go and find out some things and resist one or two at the critical moment."

  "However, this trip is dangerous, so I still need to explain to them that they are willing to go with me."

  Those female soldiers are not afraid of danger.

  Li Zhiyin knew Li Mumu's character. She would not take risks unless it was absolutely necessary, and she would never take other people's lives lightly.

  Li Zhiyin was actually very curious about what kind of education Li Mumu had received. She had never seen anyone like Li Mumu who had no sense of hierarchy.

  Even for her, it is inevitable that she would have some such ideas due to the influence of the environment she was exposed to since childhood.

  Moreover, Li Mumu was not at all surprised at her proposal to do something to improve the status of women in the world.

  Even from the ideas revealed in their daily conversations, Li Mumu's view on the improvement of women's status is deeper than she realizes, and even much higher than what she desires.

  It was a height she had never imagined.
