Chapter 80 Your Highness, you are too insidious

 Early the next morning, Fan Qingyao said goodbye to everyone.

Outside the ruined temple, there are many horses left by the previous group of bandits, which are convenient for Fan Zhao and others.

Fan Zhao and his brothers not only accompanied Xiao Hongfei, but also brought the women and children with them.

Fan Qingyao felt even more satisfied when he saw Fan Zhao and others helping the women and children onto the horses.

 Those who value affection and righteousness are the ones who can best get along with each other for a long time.

Xiao Hongfei was riding on horseback, looking at the person who was blooming like a lotus in the wind and sand, and he was full of reluctance.

 Shaoxuan, “…”

 What should I do if my hands are itchy?

What the prince thinks of this young lady from the Hua family, he can see it even if he is blind.

As a result, someone is going to get there first before the crown prince of his family can bear fruit?

 What a joke!

These are simply bandits! robber!

 Plus the shameless pig who wants to conquer other people’s cabbage patch!

Xiao Hongfei, who still didn't know that he was being taken care of, finally plucked up the courage to look at Fan Qingyao and said, "When I return to the main city, I will personally come to thank Miss Huajiawai...ah—!"

Having just finished speaking, the originally docile horse suddenly ran away in the distance with a rush of energy.

Fan Qingyao turned his head following the sound and saw a plume of smoke rising from the ground.

 Looking further away, Xiao Hongfei was almost stunned. It could be said that he was sitting on a horse with Hun'er chasing after him.

The fire and lightning just kept running farther and farther.

Shaoxuan retracted his hand calmly, not forgetting to explain, "My hand slipped accidentally."

Fan Qingyao was silent, too lazy to speak.

Fan Zhao quickly got on his horse with his men and said, "I won't say anything if we meet outside. Let's meet the lady in the main city..."

The words were not finished.

Fan Qingyao and Shaoxuan also got on their horses and continued heading north.

 After another two days, the two finally arrived at the border village outside Youzhou.

After the indiscriminate poisoning last time, Shaoxuan changed from being polite to Fan Qingyao to being respectful.

  After all, the poisonous scene stimulated him too much.

Even now when he closes his eyes, he can still think of that frog-like belly.

 He is even more afraid that he will become one of them...

So now, Shaoxuan looked at the map in his hand respectfully and said proactively, "We will arrive in Youzhou tonight at the latest."

Fan Qingyao nodded, but couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

 After being delayed for so many days, I don’t know what happened to his eyes.

Thinking of that flawless face, Fan Qingyao felt irritable for no reason.

At this moment, the person who made Fan Qingyao inexplicably irritated was currently in the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou.

 Baili Fengming, wearing a white robe, was sitting in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, and the lower seats on both sides were filled with officials of all sizes in Youzhou.

Everyone looked tired, and their panda eyes were filled with black.

Especially Zhu Zhi, who was standing next to Baili Fengming, felt dizzy when he saw the main hall of his house.

 Since the prince arrived in Youzhou, it has been like this every night.

 Staying up late is not scary.

But staying up late and turning into an endless cycle would be much worse.

 Say nothing, do nothing, just sit in silence until dawn with wide eyes and small eyes.

Who can withstand this?

 The sky is getting brighter now, and it is very dazzling.

Zhu Zhi looked at Baili Fengming next to him with a headache, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, you have been sitting here all night. Why don't you go and rest first?"

Baili Fengming smiled lightly when he heard this, "There's no rush."

Zhu Zhi’s face darkened, and his head hurt even more.

 He still doesn’t know what the Crown Prince is here for.

 Are we here to investigate the case, or are we going to send him away?

  Seeing this, the other officials sitting below also showed the slightest bit of displeasure on their faces.

“We are entrusted with the imperial power, and our annual stipend is no more than a living in panic. Three meals a day consist of coarse grains and brown rice. Now that we are in such a difficult situation, His Highness, the Crown Prince, do you think we are stealing the imperial grains?”

“If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t believe us, you can have someone search our house. We will fully cooperate to prove his innocence.”

"I don't want me to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly, but in the end we end up being questioned like this. Now Youzhou is in panic, and we can't sit still. His Royal Highness Prince Haiqing has also restored our innocence, so we can go to the capital in person. Let’s go to the emperor to show our sincerity to Xiliang!”

 Originally, they were a little wary about the Prince of the East Palace.

 But over the next few days, they discovered that the prince seemed to have no ability to bluff people. Youzhou was originally a place where the sky was high and the emperor was far away. People like them who were far away from the emperor's nose had long been used to wildness. Now facing the prince who had no real power, they naturally began to reveal their original wildness. .

 What's so great about the prince is that he only has to live by looking at the emperor's face.

  It has forced us into a hurry. Whether it is bullying officials or framing us, you cannot escape either one.

Zhu Zhi stood aside pretending to be deaf.

These officials present are all his people. The prince is doubting them now, and he is also doubting him.

 He naturally does not admit this shortcoming.

Lin Yi was so angry that the veins on the back of his hands popped out.

These people, relying on the fact that the prince has no real power, are so open and honest in applying eye drops.

If the prince really went and sent people to search, I'm afraid they would say that the prince was taking advantage of his power to bully others.

 Don't say that the prince will definitely not search. Even if he does search, I'm afraid he will find nothing.

He is really very cunning.

 Baili Fengming seemed not to have heard, but stood up and said to everyone, "I hope all of you will arrive on time tonight."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall accompanied by Lin Yi first.

 “Is there any news about Xiao Wu?”

“No, but a letter came from the main city saying that the emperor is already urging us.”

Baili Fengming frowned slightly, his eyes filled with loneliness and coldness.

 Looks like I can’t wait any longer.

 A carrier pigeon fluttered its already numb arms and slowly landed.

Lin Yi reached out to take it, took off the letterhead and handed it over, "It's news from Shaoxuan."

 Baili Fengming looked at the simple line of words on the letterhead, and his whole body softened.

 She is here.

 That's right, she seems to be a quiet person, but in fact she is a very independent person.

Lin Yi was curious about what news Shaoxuan had conveyed that could make the prince's worries disappear in an instant.

But before he could look out, he saw the letter turned into fine pieces of paper in the slender fingers.

 The owner of the beautiful hand also stepped forward again.

Lin Yi knew that there was still a tough battle to be fought in the evening, so he immediately got serious and chased after him quickly.

 The governor's mansion was quiet all day long.

 After the sun went down, the officials who had just left in the morning stepped through the threshold again.

 Fortunately, they already knew in their hearts that this prince was nothing more than a showman, and he had no other abilities besides leading them to sit quietly.

As time passed, they became wiser, and each one entered the main hall after eating and drinking to replenish their energy.

  Habitually…

 Continue to meditate!

 Baili Fengming saw that everyone had arrived and gestured to Lin Yi behind him.

Lin Yi stepped away, and after a while, he placed a cup of warm tea beside each official.

 Baili Fengming was the first to raise his tea cup and said, "Father, I am afraid that I will leave for the main city tomorrow. The past few days have really been hard for you ministers. I will drink tea instead of wine and do it first as a token of respect."

When the emperor sent the news, everyone present knew it well.

Now after listening to the prince's words, I was even more ridiculed in my heart. This is really what I am capable of.

However, no matter how happy they were in their hearts, they still held teacups in front of them.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhi, who was standing aside, had his eyebrows twisted into question marks.

His Royal Highness, with his sinister appearance, looks like he has traveled thousands of miles just to sit here and meditate.

 Besides, if he left happily like this, what about the theft of the imperial grain?

 “Ugh—!”

A sudden and harsh sound sounded.

Zhu Zhi looked around and saw that the officials who had looked calm just now were all retching.

 At one time, there were no less than twenty officials in the main hall, all bent over and vomiting.

 Such a spectacular scene stunned Zhu Zhi.
