The next day, the loss of food by the Fu family caused a riot in the city. Many people were afraid that they would not be able to buy food, so they wanted to leave the city and buy food elsewhere.

In the end, it was County Magistrate Yang who stepped in to guarantee that there was enough food in the city to satisfy the people, and only then did the people give up the idea of ​​leaving the city.

Liu Qin and Wei Cunqing took advantage of the chaos to meet up with other soldiers who were purchasing grain.

On the surface, they were raising more than 400,000 dan of grain, which they intended to use when they went to Kyoto. They did not transport the grain back to Raozhou, but placed it directly in Qizhou City.

The governor of Qizhou City and Ye Xiaotian are relatives, and the governor's daughter, Zhao Yunjian, is the Crown Princess of Zhennan Prince. The grain is kept in Qizhou City, which is safe enough.

"Seventh Prince, does the prince really want to lead an army to Kyoto? Wouldn't that be tantamount to rebellion?" Zhao An said a little worriedly.

He was afraid that if Ye Xiaotian failed, it would bring trouble to their Zhao family, but... he had no choice, because he and Ye Xiaotian were relatives.

Even if he wanted to surrender to the court, the court would not believe him.

By then, he would be in a difficult situation, unable to please the court and offending Ye Xiaotian. Wouldn't he die faster?

Now he can only bite the bullet and stand on the same front with Ye Xiaotian. He only hopes that Ye Xiaotian can succeed in one fell swoop, but must not implicate their Zhao family!

Their Zhao family has been loyal to the court and His Majesty for generations!

"Master Zhao! You don't need to worry. The treacherous concubine now controls the court. Father is probably under her control. Your uncle is only leading troops into the capital to rescue him!

"My uncle has no intention of treason, so I hope Lord Zhao can help me! If this trip can successfully rescue my father, Lord Zhao will be a hero of the Northern Han Dynasty. Lord Zhao has nothing to worry about!" Wei Cunqing explained.

Hearing this, Zhao An looked at Wei Cunqing in disbelief.

Yes! Wei Cunqing is right! Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, the imperial edict issued by the court is naturally not His Majesty's intention!

What is he afraid of? Ye Xiaotian has the Seventh Prince Wei Cunqing on his side. The Seventh Prince is the blood of His Majesty, and the Thirteenth Prince is also of royal blood!

And the Thirteenth Prince was only seven years old! What could he understand? Nowadays, Concubine Yao had the final say on all matters, big or small. It was against the rules for the harem to interfere in government affairs.

He followed Ye Xiaotian to help the Seventh Prince return to Kyoto. This was a show of loyalty to the country! What was there for him to be afraid of?

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince is right! I will do my best to follow Your Highness's lead!" Zhao An stated.

Wei Cunqing helped him up and said, "Master Zhao, there's no need to be polite. You just need to keep this grain for your uncle, and that will be a great achievement."

"I will definitely fulfill my mission! Your Highness the Seventh Prince, what are your plans next? Do you want to stay in Qizhou and wait for the prince to come and reunite with Your Highness, or do you want to return to Raozhou?" Zhao An asked.

New Year's Eve is only two months away. According to Ye Xiaotian's plan, he intended to set off after the Lantern Festival. Now Wei Cunqing has rushed back and is about to set off with the army without even a few days of rest. Wouldn't that be too tiring?

Wei Cunqing might as well recuperate in Qizhou and wait for Ye Xiaotian to join him.

"I have to go back to Raozhou and report everything to my uncle in person." Wei Cunqing still had to go back to Raozhou.

Wei Wenyan was still waiting for him at the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. He had promised Wei Wenyan that he would do his best to protect Wei Wenyan, and he could not go back on his word.

With him around, Wei Wenyan felt more at ease, so he went back and accompanied Wei Wenyan.

Hearing this, Zhao An immediately spoke up, "Then I will send someone to escort His Highness back to Raozhou."

"No need! It would be inconvenient if there were too many people. We can just go back by ourselves." Wei Cunqing directly rejected Zhao An's kindness.

More people would attract more attention. He could protect Liu Qin and didn't need anyone else to protect them.

The people he brought with him also stayed in Qizhou to guard the food.

This batch of food is very important and there must be no mistakes.

In order to rush back to Raozhou City to spend the New Year with Wei Wenyan, Wei Cunqing rode a horse for the first half of the journey, and the two of them rode at full speed back to Raozhou.

It was already mid-December when we arrived in Raozhou.

Wei Cunqing first sent Liu Qin back to Liu's house before returning to Prince Zhennan's Mansion.

Lin Yuehong and the others were very happy to see Liu Qin coming back.

He was worried that his aunt didn't want them and would just abandon them.

After all, they are burdens, burdens that even their own fathers want to abandon!

They didn't dare to ask their aunt to stay with them forever.

"Aunt! You're back!" Lin Yuehong walked forward happily.

Lin Yuerou and Jiang Qiuning also followed and surrounded Liu Qin.

"Yes! Look what delicious food your aunt brought you." Liu Qin took out some pastries and shared them with them.

These were the pastries she bought when she returned to the city.

Lin Yuehong took the cake and said happily, "Thank you, auntie!"

It doesn’t matter what kind of pastry it is, what matters is that my aunt is back.

It’s not that my aunt doesn’t want them, that’s great.

Liu Qin rubbed the heads of Lin Yuehong and the other two: "Let's go inside and talk."

Lin Yuehong was so happy, he must be afraid that she would never come back and abandon them.

This kid! He actually has such an idea.

Is Liu Qin such a person?

Not to mention that she is kind-hearted, even if it is to repay the original owner, she will not abandon them.

In this life, her biggest wish is to raise her two children to adulthood!

"Hong'er, have you encountered any trouble at home? Have you been bullied?" Liu Qin asked.

Although the farmhands in the mansion have signed the document, they should not dare to bully them.

But who knows? You can only know a person’s face but not his heart. She was still worried that when she was away, the servants would not take the three children seriously.

Lin Yuehong shook his head and instead showed concern for Liu Qin.

"We're fine! Everything is going well at home. How about you, aunt? Are you in any danger?"

Hearing this, Liu Qin felt warm in her heart.

The most touching thing about love is that it goes both ways. She pampers and loves Lin Yuehong and the others, and they also care about her.

"Auntie is fine! I'm going out to do something this time, so it'll take a while. I won't be away from you for so long in the future." Liu Qin promised.

From now on, unless they grew up, she would not leave them for so long, so that they would not worry that she would no longer want them.

Lin Yuehong pursed her lips and smiled, feeling satisfied.

"Qiu Ning, has anyone bullied you at home? If someone bullies you, tell your aunt, don't keep it in your heart, understand?" Liu Qin was concerned about Jiang Qiu Ning again.

Jiang Qiuning and Lin Yuehong are different. Lin Yuehong and his sister are the young masters of the mansion, and the servants in the mansion should not dare to act presumptuously unless they want to be kicked out.

But Jiang Qiuning was just a maid in name, and she didn't know whether they would bully Jiang Qiuning.

Jiang Qiuning is also the eldest daughter, and she can't let Jiang Qiuning suffer, otherwise Jiang He will think that they are abusing his daughter, which will cause a big misunderstanding.

Jiang Qiuning shook her head: "No! The elder sister and the nanny in the mansion are very good to me."
