But Fei Nanyu was different. He appeared to be from Nan Qi, and now in the capital, aside from Emperor Shunwu, he was already publicly recognized as the next emperor.
He would not do something like using insects to harm people.
Therefore, even if he took out the insects, he would not be suspected by others.
Moreover, Fei Nanyu was currently considered trustworthy, so entrusting this matter to him was equivalent to letting Nan Qi act directly.
This way, Mo Jiuye finally understood.
"Ran Ran, do you mean Emperor Shunwu asked the powerful insect-taming expert to have Little White come back and take the puppeteer insects?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Currently, only this way can work."
She also firmly believed that in this era, even if an insect tamer's skills were high, without the mother insect, they likely could not successfully untame the insects.
"Good, I will write to Fei Nanyu now and have Little White set off immediately." Mo Jiuye said as he walked to the desk and started writing.
Finally, he did not forget to remind Fei Nanyu to treat Little White well with good food and drink while it was with him.
After writing the letter, Mo Jiuye called Little White over and tied the letter to its leg.
Ever since Little White acknowledged Mo Jiuye as its master, the human and bird established a deep bond, especially on the journey to rescue Mo Meng and his father when Little White was almost inseparable from him.
Mo Jiuye stroked Little White's soft feathers reluctantly.
"Little White, this time I'm afraid it will be hard on you to deliver the letter to the capital..."
After its master assigned the task, Little White flew high, circling repeatedly above Mo Jiuye's head, clearly reluctant to leave.
Reluctant but with no choice, rescuing people was the priority.
He Zhiran brought Mo Jiuye and Little White out of the space together, fed it some food, and finally let it leave.
Little White's flight speed was extremely fast, taking only about two days to reach the capital from the northwest.
Hopefully everything would develop in a good direction, Older Jin's life would continue, and Emperor Shunwu could quickly find an insect tamer.
Madam He was indeed a little tired on the road and originally planned to listen to her daughter and rest in the room.
However, she did not know if it was because she saw her daughter too excited or had too much on her mind, but she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Unable to sleep, she could only get up. When she found He Zhiran, the young couple had just sent Little White off.
Seeing her mother, He Zhiran obviously looked a little surprised.
"Mother, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Mother couldn't sleep, so she wanted to come out and look."
He Zhiran originally planned to let her mother rest well today and take her around to get familiar with the surroundings tomorrow.
Since her mother couldn't sleep, and there was still some time before dinner, He Zhiran took her for a walk nearby.
Mo Jiuye knew they were mother and daughter and had not seen each other for nearly a year, so they had many private conversations to share. He did not follow them.
With his mother-in-law present in his own territory, he would not worry about He Zhiran's safety either.
Madam He followed He Zhiran out of the courtyard and only then noticed that next to their courtyard residence were many others just like it, roughly counting at least more than ten.
Not only were the structures of those houses the same, but more importantly, the windows were all inlaid with glass.
At this time, Madam He felt that the Empress Dowager was a fool. She cherished the two small pieces of glass like treasures, dispatched maids to guard them every day, afraid someone would inadvertently break them. Yet the treasures the Empress Dowager coveted were ubiquitous here in her daughter's home...
The origins of this glass could not withstand scrutiny, so He Zhiran did not want her mother to dwell on it too much.
"Mother, let me take you to see the breeding farm."
Apart from the Mo family courtyard, Madam He was also attracted by the fruit trees on the hill, so she did not immediately follow He Zhiran to the breeding farm.
When she was in the capital, He Yuanming would also take her out for walks.
The trees on the mountains in the capital were tall and big, completely different from here.
"Ran Ran, are all the trees on this mountain northwest China's specialties?"
"Mother, actually this hill is also the Mo family's property. When my husband and I met Western merchants, their cargo ships carried many fruit tree seedlings not found here, so we bought them all and planted them on the hill.
If you are interested, Mother, I can take you to see."
Fortunately, Madam He grew up in a wealthy urban family from a young age and did not understand planting at all.
Otherwise, she would have certainly rambled on about how her daughter and son-in-law did not know how to live, that no matter how good foreign fruit trees were, they could not be successfully planted anywhere, and that they were just wasting silver by buying them.
It was only because she was ignorant that she did not think of all this.
Madam He looked at her daughter's large belly.
"Let's just walk around the foot of the mountain. Your body is inconvenient, do not go up high."
He Zhiran agreed and took her mother to see the fruit trees.
Although these fruit trees were nurtured in the space before being planted outside, the first year after planting could not produce the miracle of bearing fruit that same year.
Therefore, apart from the different appearances, almost all the fruit trees the mother and daughter saw had only green leaves.
Of course, not completely. With her keen eyes, He Zhiran discovered that some nearby cherry trees had sparse fruit.
This was something even she had not expected.
Moreover, the cherries were already ripe, the large red fruits standing out against the green foliage.
With a space available, He Zhiran could usually eat whatever she wanted, so she was not eyeing those few cherries. Rather, she was excited that the planting had succeeded.
"Mother, look quickly - this is a large cherry, sour and sweet, very delicious." He Zhiran did not call it a cherry, feeling that calling it a "large cherry" would be more down-to-earth in this era.
There were many wild cherry trees on mountains, so calling it this way would be easier to accept.
Seeing He Zhiran already lifting her dress to walk towards the nearest large cherry tree, Madam He hurried forward to support her.
"Ran Ran, let Mother go get some. You just wait here."
After saying this, Madam He quickly walked past her daughter towards the fruit tree.
He Zhiran knew she could not show off too much, as it would only make her family worry, so she obediently stood and waited.
Madam He thought her daughter was impatient to eat that "large cherry" and just wanted to quickly pick some for her.
He Zhiran saw her mother had already picked two and loudly said, "Mother, this is very delicious. Please try one."
Madam He was unmoved by novelties, but since her daughter said so, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm, she used a handkerchief to wipe one off and put it in her mouth.
He Zhiran smiled as she watched her expression.
She saw Madam He's previously furrowed brow gradually smooth out, then she smiled and said, "Ran Ran, this large cherry is truly delicious."
It tasted even better than the watermelon and other fruits she had eaten before.
After speaking, Madam He continued picking eagerly. Such a delicious fruit, her daughter and little grandson should taste it soon.
