Chen Yan and the others had no choice but to return to their rooms and prepare to rest. Lu Wan and the others took the quilts they asked for from the shopkeeper and spread them on the ground. After laying a few layers, they found it was quite warm.
At night, Shen Yan lay on the quilt on the floor, and Lu Wan lay on the bed, both of them were a little sleepless.
Lu Wan's face was slightly red, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
But when Shen Yan heard his breathing, he knew that he was not asleep yet, he was just a little shy.
The corners of Shen Yan's mouth rose slightly, and he listened softly to Lu Wan's breathing in the darkness.
After a long while, Lu Wan finally couldn't pretend anymore and he spoke out. qqxδnew
"The little boy the shopkeeper talked about today was so pitiful. It would have been better if we had come a day earlier."
Hearing Lu Wan's regretful voice, Shen Yan smiled softly: "This is indeed something we can't predict, don't be sad!"
Shen Yan comforted him softly, and he felt bad seeing Lu Wan so sad.
"But that child is so pitiful. It's really too much for the city lord to lose such a vibrant life."
The more Lu Wan spoke, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Although the city lord had not appeared throughout the entire process, everything that happened was related to him.
Even if that person is your nephew, you should not be so partial to him! As the city lord, he should love his people like his own children. All the people in the city should be like his own children.
"But the mayor of Fenyue City is really too much. I don't want you to be so angry, but the court can't do anything about him. What can we do?"
Chen Yan suddenly remembered that he had met the mayor of Fenyue City when he was a child, but he didn't look like such a wicked person.
What's more, her nephew really doesn't resemble him at all. Du Ling has shifty eyes, but the Lord of Fenyue City in her memory is handsome and looks like a gentleman.
"We should think of a way to punish them. Otherwise, it would be really infuriating if we just let them go."
As Lu Wan was talking, he jumped up from the bed, crawled to the edge of the bed, and spoke to Chen Yan who was lying on the ground.
Lu Wan had some ideas in mind, but he couldn't realize them by himself, so he had to seek Shen Yan's support.
When Shen Yan heard what Lu Wan said, he knew that there was already an idea in his clever little head, so he pretended not to understand.
"But we really have no choice. He is the lord of a city and has much more power than me, a nominal regent."
After Shen Yan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Wan. Lu Wan had to find a way to hint Shen Yan again, but she didn't dare to say her thoughts directly.
When Lu Wan was thinking about it, she saw the smile on Shen Yan's lips, and guessed that she already knew what she was thinking.
Angry and embarrassed, Lu Wan threw the pillow at the head of his bed at Chen Yan. Chen Yan caught the pillow and laughed out loud.
"Your little thoughts are so obvious that they are almost written on your forehead. However, we can do something, but we can't be too high-profile."
Shen Yan held Lu Wan's pillow in his arms, and then said very seriously.
Lu Wan nodded. He knew this principle. Their trip was already high-profile enough, and what they were going to do this time was relatively secret. The current situation had deviated from their original idea.
Having encountered so many things along the way, the imperial envoy had already known everything about the Xiongnu by the officials along the way.
One of their tasks this time is to judge whether the officials along the way are honest.
However, by the time they arrived at Lushui Village, their news had already spread, so apart from a few of their own incidents along the way, they did not discover any corruption in the government.
However, they had wasted too long on the journey, and the officials were no longer sure where they were now, or whether they had completed their mission and returned to the capital.
They could only conduct surprise inspections on the officials when they had this idea in mind.
Therefore, the news that they are currently in Fenyue City must not be spread out. If Lu Wan and the others want to do something, they must be cautious.
"So what do you have in mind? Have you figured out a solution? What do you need me to do?"
After seeing Lu Wan's assurance, Shen Yan said, Shen Yan actually knew that Lu Wan was just a little willful sometimes, and he was not really ignorant. If you explain some things to him clearly, he will still listen.
"How do you know that I have already thought of a solution?" Lu Wan asked with surprise after hearing Shen Yan's question. He had indeed thought of a solution and was very cautious.
"I've already told you that your thoughts are so obvious, they're almost written on your forehead."
Shen Yan smiled, handed Lu Wan's pillow back to him, poured her a glass of water at the table, and brought it to her mouth for him to drink.
"Thank you. How could I be as obvious as you say? It's just that some things can't be hidden."
