“Princess, you are right. Live in the moment. Who knows whether happiness or an accident will come first in the future?”
"Yes, live in the moment."
Lin Yuxin felt relieved to see that the people around her had been calmed down.
It seems that they have a strong mental fortitude. After all, they are people living on the border, and they are very aware of the dangers of death.
"Alright, everyone go and collect your food, then go back home!"
Lin Yuxin said with a smile
"Thank you so much, Princess, for saving my life! You are such a kind person!"
"That's right, Princess is beautiful and kind-hearted, she's like a bodhisattva in this world!"
“Princess, you are our family’s savior! From now on, we will treat you like a Bodhisattva.”
The people finally realized what had happened and were overjoyed at surviving the ordeal. They forgot their earlier dejection and began to thank Lin Yuxin one after another.
The princess is such a good person! She cured them of the poison, gave them food, and saved them from dire straits.
Everyone enthusiastically surrounded Lin Yuxin and showered her with compliments. Lin Yuxin, surrounded by them, felt embarrassed listening to their praise, and her face almost stiffened from smiling.
He quickly said a few words, grabbed a person, shoved them into the crowd, turned and ran, leaving the common people to be dealt with by the guards.
When Lin Yuxin ran back to the county government office, Li Xiaochen happened to come out.
"What's wrong? Is a ghost chasing you?"
Looking at Lin Yuxin's disheveled appearance, Li Xiaochen asked with amusement.
“Those people were terrifying. They kept thanking me, and I felt so embarrassed that I ran away.”
Lin Yuxin patted her chest, looking like she was still scared.
Li Xiaochen reached out and pinched Lin Yuxin's cheek, teasingly saying:
"Is there anything you're afraid of? I thought you were fearless."
What are you saying?
Lin Yuxin glared at him angrily, then strode inside.
Li Xiaochen shook his head with a wry smile and then followed him inside.
"Why are you walking so fast? Where's Xiao Hao? Didn't he go with you?"
Li Xiaochen followed Lin Yuxin into the study and asked curiously.
"Oh no, I left Xiaohao in Xiyuan!"
Lin Yuxin's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name Xiao Hao. She had completely forgotten about Xiao Hao in that man-eating courtyard!
However… she's a little reluctant to go rescue him. She's afraid she might not come back if she does. So, Xiao Hao, good luck to you! This little brother is just here to cause trouble!
Before long, Lin Yuxin had finished her mental preparation and lay back down on the recliner to rest leisurely.
She is now free of any trouble. Liu Haixin is in charge of distributing grain and resettling the people. The people who were cursed have all been cured today and Xueying and the others have also been settled.
Once the people of Quyan County are back on track, she can go back.
Once the drought in the northern part of the city has subsided, she can go home.
This drought will end in a little over two months.
She remembers that the first rain after the drought in the northern part of the city was at the end of November.
The temperature has dropped significantly these past few days; it's not as hot as it was when she first arrived in Beicheng.
Seeing Lin Yuxin in such a good mood, Li Xiaochen felt all his worries and plans from the past few days return to calm at this moment.
The two of them quietly enjoyed the peace of the moment, neither of them speaking.
After a long silence, Lin Yuxin finally spoke softly:
"I'm going back to Beicheng in two days. Things here are almost finished. What about you?"
"I need to stay a few more days. I have to hand over King Qiling. The Emperor has already sent people over. You go back first. I will come to find you after I finish dealing with things here."
Li Xiaochen shook his head. He couldn't leave yet. After dealing with things here, he still had to go to the border with the Northern Frontier to thoroughly investigate the defense situation there.
The fact that the northern frontier could so easily enter the Xia Kingdom's borders indicates that the Xia Kingdom's border defenses were inadequate and had loopholes.
He communicated with Yan Lie these past two days, asking her to keep things stable over there until he arrived before making a decision.
"Okay, be careful."
Lin Yuxin nodded in agreement, showing no reluctance whatsoever.
Li Xiaochen, who was watching from the side, frowned and stared at Lin Yuxin with increasingly resentful eyes.
Lin Yuxin felt uncomfortable being stared at, and she asked:
Why are you staring at me like that?
"You're not even sad about me! We're about to part ways, and you're not even a little bit upset?"
Li Xiaochen questioned with a wronged expression.
Lin Yuxin: ...?
[Don't miss this! The dignified Regent is acting cute here? Seeking comfort? Such a rare sight indeed!!]
Lin Yuxin pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh. After a long while, she finally stopped laughing, then looked at him with a sad expression and said:
"How could I bear to part with him? We won't see each other for a long time again. I'm so sad I almost cried!"
"Alright, just smile. Your crying looks awful!"
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin's acting with resentment and could only admit defeat.
That girl has no heart!
"You're the ugly one!"
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes at him after he criticized her for crying so badly.
Seeing her roll her eyes, Li Xiaochen couldn't help but grab her, pull her into his arms, and then pinch her cheek.
"ah!"
Lin Yuxin was pulled from the recliner into Li Xiaochen's arms by his strength. When she came to her senses, she felt a slight pain on her face.
What are you doing?
Lin Yuxin was startled, covered her face, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Yuxin! You don't like me anymore."
Li Xiaochen lowered his hand, then hugged Lin Yuxin, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered.
