Liu Haixin's gaze sharpened, and he looked at Lin Yuxin with scrutiny.
"If you don't agree, then forget it. This princess doesn't like to force others."
Lin Yuxin noticed the probing look in his eyes but didn't mind. However, she still reminded him that she didn't need him.
"What does the princess need an advisor for? You know my identity, yet you still want me to be your advisor?"
Liu Haixin withdrew his probing gaze and asked incredulously.
"I know, he's just the young master of the Yongjue Marquis's mansion. You're not going to inherit the position of the Yongjue Marquis's mansion, so what does your status have to do with me? I only value your brains."
"As for what I need my staff to do, you don't need to know that. You just need to say whether you agree or disagree."
Lin Yuxin spoke calmly, but when she looked at Liu Haixin, she frowned and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. This man was really long-winded.
"Alright, Princess, I agree to your terms!"
Looking at Lin Yuxin, Liu Haixin suddenly thought that following her might not be a bad idea, so he impulsively agreed.
"Alright, since you agree, you are now mine. Take good care of your injuries!"
Seeing that he had agreed, Lin Yuxin nodded and then turned and walked out. Because she had gained a subordinate, her mood was not as bad as before.
Little did Liu Haixin know that his impulsive decision would bring about a completely different change in his fate.
After finishing all that, Lin Yuxin returned to Li Xiaochen's room, and before going in, she asked Wang Yu to send the letter she was holding back to Beijing.
She knew that Li Xiaochen had a special channel to deliver letters directly to the Emperor, so she wasn't worried at all.
The day after Lin Yuxin accompanied Li Xiaochen to recover in Quyan County, more and more people began to arrive in Quyan County.
Lin Yuxin knew that her method had worked.
"Princess, what method did you use to get those people to come out on their own?"
That day, Liu Haixin, who was feeling much better, asked Lin Yuxin with a curious expression.
“I have people plant the Xia Kingdom flag in the most conspicuous place in every house in the county. Those people haven’t come out for so many days, they will definitely send people out to check. Unless they are from the Northern Frontier, they will not hide anymore, especially with the Xia Kingdom flag?”
Lin Yuxin glanced at him and explained calmly.
"That's right! The fact that there are Xia Kingdom flags everywhere means that Quyan County is under Xia Kingdom's protection, and they will definitely come out."
Liu Haixin slapped his forehead, looking as if he had just realized something, and looked at Lin Yuxin with admiration. This princess is really smart.
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head and continued to change Li Xiaochen's dressing.
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin, a smile playing on his lips. How could his girl not be smart? But...!
Li Xiaochen glanced coldly at Liu Haixin beside him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. Was the person Yuxin had found reliable?
Before Liu Haixin could even finish admiring the prince's gaze, he saw the prince staring at him with a look that seemed to want to devour him.
Liu Haixin stiffened, straightened up, and said to Lin Yuxin:
"Princess, shall I wait for you outside?"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yuxin's reply, he turned around and limped outside.
Lin Yuxin watched his departing figure with a puzzled expression, then continued with what she was doing.
"You're asking him, but can he handle it?"
Li Xiaochen watched Liu Haixin's departing figure and asked Lin Yuxin, puzzled.
"Although he's cunning, he's smart. Don't worry, he's a capable person."
Lin Yuxin looked up at him and said with a smile.
[She might not have remembered at first, but after thinking about it carefully these past two days, she realized there was such a person in the book who single-handedly caused the loss of an entire division in the northern frontier.]
[However, this person didn't appear until three years later, and his name wasn't Liu Haixin, but Liu Kun! This Liu Kun said at the time that he had a grudge against Northern Xinjiang. If we follow the timeline, this Liu Haixin is very likely Liu Kun.]
[It's just that we can't prove it right now, but it doesn't matter. Liu Haixin isn't stupid; he'll be useful someday.]
Lin Yuxin is easygoing; she only hires subordinates who are pleasing to the eye. Although he was tricked by Liu Haixin, she still admires him.
"Okay, you can make the decision."
Seeing this, Li Xiaochen didn't say anything more!
Lin Yuxin began to tell him about what had happened during this time, including the matter of the Prince of Qiling, and how she had sent a letter to the Emperor.
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin with amusement. He knew about Qiling King's abilities; he wasn't particularly skilled, but he was adept at using underhanded tactics. He never expected that he would be defeated by Lin Yuxin this time.
"How is he now? Where is he being held?"
Li Xiaochen asked with a smile.
"...?"
Lin Yuxin paused in changing the dressing, blinked at Li Xiaochen, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"I forgot about him, I don't even know if he's alive or dead!"
[Oh no! She's doomed! She just delivered a letter to the Emperor. If she kills someone, won't the Emperor be furious? That stingy Emperor will surely find a reason to deduct her wages!]
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin quickly called out:
"Wang Yu!"
"Princess?"
Wang Yu entered respectfully and looked at Lin Yuxin, asking her questions, but his eyes were fixed on his master. "What's wrong with the princess?"
"How is that King Qiling? Is he dead?"
Lin Yuxin asked nervously!
"Your Highness, Prince Qiling has been imprisoned for the past two days. He is not dead, but he is probably close to death. His back injury is quite serious."
Wang Yu told the truth that they hadn't brought him any food yet, and he estimated that he was already half dead.
