章節 907: A Teachable Youngster

Chu Qingzhi mused in silence, wondering if the Emperor had sent Jiang Zhaozong to deal with the King of the eastern border. She should have inquired about this back in the village.

"You've worked hard. Eat and rest tonight before continuing your investigation."

The three parrots cheerfully began to eat.

Chu Qingzhi summoned the Golden Phoenix. "Jing Hong, have you heard anything about Jiang Zhaozong?"

Tang Jinghong replied, "No, I had people start searching on my way to the eastern border, but we've yet to receive any updates."

With no news from Jing Hong's people or the parrots, Chu Qingzhi's unease grew stronger. "I hope nothing bad has happened to Zhaozong."

Tang Jinghong paused before responding, "No news doesn't necessarily mean something's wrong. Perhaps he's just hiding."

"I hope so," Chu Qingzhi instructed. "Let's not tell my fourth sister about this yet; I'm afraid she can't handle it."

"I understand," said Tang Jinghong.
