Chapter 74 Return to the Palace
"I left Lingquan Town and went to Yun County to seek help from the county magistrate. As a result, Yang Kuan not only did not send troops to help me, but also sent people to hunt me down."
"What? Lord Yang actually did such a thing!" Li Yi was surprised.
Yang Kuan really had a problem!
"That day I hid in the Flower Viewing Tower and found that Yang Kuan was talking to the masked man we just met."
"Fourth Princess, do you mean that Yang Kuan is also a spy?"
"Yes." Shen Qingtang nodded, "I also learned that Yang Kuan indirectly undermined your power. In order to allow you to take over this case smoothly, I killed Yang Kuan."
What? Did the Fourth Princess kill Yang Kuan?
At this moment, Li Yi finally knew why the Fourth Princess didn't let him tell anyone.
They now have no clear evidence to prove to others that Yang Kuan is a spy. Even if she is a princess, she cannot kill officials without reason.
Li Yi and Shen Qingtang personally experienced this case, and he is willing to believe the Fourth Princess' words!
"Fourth Princess, I know what to do."
Li Yi is a smart man, and he understood it after Shen Qingtang gave him a little hint.
"Lord Li, there are other spies in the court. I will ask my father to promote you. I have other things for you to do in the future."
The higher the official position of Li Yi, the more he can help her at critical moments in the future.
Shen Qingtang would not get rid of those spies immediately. Instead, she would use them to cause trouble for her father. At the last stage, she would catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Promotion?!
Li Yi was so excited that tears were about to flow out.
When Li Yi was first assigned to Yun County as a county lieutenant, he was full of fighting spirit and prepared to do a great job. He hoped to be promoted through his own strength.
However, he did not expect to meet Yang Kuan, a county magistrate who loved to cause trouble. His power was hollowed out, so naturally he could not achieve any results.
Li Yi thought that he would be suppressed by Yang Kuan all his life, but who would have thought that the Fourth Princess would come out to help him solve this big trouble. He also saved the Fourth Princess by accident and got the opportunity to be promoted!
The Fourth Princess is his, Li Yi's noble lady!
Li Yi was grateful and shed tears: "Fourth Princess, if you have anything in the future, just tell me, I will go through fire and water and do it without hesitation!"
Shen Qingtang patted his shoulder: "Okay, I remember this sentence."
"Lord Li, please go back and send someone to deal with this place."
"Yes, Fourth Princess."
After Li Yi left, Shen Qingtang brought Lu Jiuan and others to the place where the old woman's body was placed before. She dug a grave for the old woman and buried her in it.
Shen Qingtang looked at the tombstone and sighed softly, his eyes full of self-blame.
[I'm sorry, old lady, I broke my promise. I failed to rescue your granddaughter. I originally wanted Miss Lan'er to bury you in person.]
[Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely avenge Miss Lan'er.]
After dealing with these things, Shen Qingtang turned around and looked at Lu Jiuan and the others.
"Let's go, back to the palace."
Shen Qingtang skillfully summoned the spirit sword and stepped on it, using his spiritual power to fly into the air.
When she left the palace, Shen Qingtang was in a hurry all the way and had no time to appreciate the scenery along the way.
This time she planned to go back slowly and take a good look at the terrain below.
Lu Jiuan and the others slowed down and followed Shen Qingtang's rhythm. They formed a circle to protect Shen Qingtang.
Lu Jiuan looked at Shen Qingtang from time to time.
The fourth princess always wanted to escape from the palace, so he secretly helped the fourth princess.
But now the fourth princess no longer wants to leave the palace, but wants to be an empress, what should he do?
If he chooses to help the fourth princess, he will be sorry to the emperor, but Lu Jiuan's heart has begun to gradually lean towards Shen Qingtang.
They have been flying in the air for most of the day, and it is getting dark. Lu Jiuan said to Shen Qingtang with concern: "Are you tired, the fourth princess? Do you want to go down and find a place to rest?"
"General Lu is still thoughtful." Shen Qingtang smiled at him, "I see there is a county town ahead, let's stay here tonight."
"Okay." Lu Jiuan looked at her tenderly.
[General Lu is still as gentle as before.]
Shen Qingtang has gotten used to the way of getting along with Lu Jiuan, and she did not realize his love for her. The
New Year is just a dozen days away, and the city is lit up with red lights. People are in high spirits, and everywhere is bustling and full of laughter.
Shen Qingtang strolled on the street and was unconsciously infected by this atmosphere.
Lu Jiuan found the best inn in the city and arranged a room for Shen Qingtang.
"Miss Four, have a good rest here tonight. I'll be guarding outside the door. You can call me anytime if you have anything."
Protecting Shen Qingtang has become a habit for Lu Jiuan.
Shen Qingtang waved his hand at him: "No need, you have worked so hard for so long, you don't have to keep guarding me here, you should go down and have a rest."
Shen Qingtang was right. They had been searching for Shen Qingtang almost non-stop, and when they couldn't stand it any longer, they just took a short rest.
Lu Jiuan turned to the other guards and said: "You guys should go down and have a rest, I will stay here to guard the fourth young lady."
Now that they have successfully found Shen Qingtang, the heavy stone in their hearts has finally fallen, and it is time to have a good rest.
Seeing that Lu Jiuan was still unwilling to leave, Shen Qingtang had no choice but to give up.
[Really stubborn. 】
After a while, the innkeeper brought up the hot and fragrant meals.
Shen Qingtang sat down and patted the stool beside him, "Lu Jiuan, come and eat with us."
Lu Jiuan nodded slightly, walked over to sit next to Shen Qingtang, and although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart.
He could finally stay with the fourth princess!
Shen Qingtang let Xiao Mi out. Xiao Mi hadn't seen Lu Jiuan for a long time and missed him a little.
Xiao Mi remembered that it was Lu Jiuan who used his spiritual power to warm its body.
Xiao Mi walked over and rubbed the back of Lu Jiuan's hand with its furry body.
"Meow." Since you are so good to the master and me, I will rub against you reluctantly.
Lu Jiuan's eyes wandered between Shen Qingtang and Xiao Mi, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Mi rubbed Lu Jiuan for a while and then returned to Shen Qingtang.
"Xiao Mi, come and have some meat." Shen Qingtang picked up a piece of meat for Xiao Mi.
Xiao Mi came over and sniffed it gently with its pink little nose, then it "meowed" fiercely, stretched out its claws and knocked the meat off the chopsticks.
"Meow!" Master, there is something wrong with this meat, it can't be eaten!
