Chapter 211 I am a rebel
King Jing learned that Lin Anyuan had added a sleeping potion to the fire and then used the butter pot to mask the smell of the potion, thus knocking out the person opposite him.
Once inside, they captured us alive, just like catching chicks. I didn't know what to say for a moment.
The sleeping pills were prescribed by a military doctor, who was rumored to have killed someone with them before and ended up in prison. He had no relatives left, and after his release, he went to live with Lin Anyuan.
"That kid is so smart, I wish he were my son, what a pity!"
In Jizhou City, King Jing had just settled into the prefect's residence when he came to see Su Yi, and then began to complain.
The prefect of Jizhou has disappeared without a trace; his mansion is empty and his family is gone. Prince Jing suspects that he has packed up and run away.
"What's a pity?" Su Yi turned around upon hearing this.
King Jing slapped his thigh and said, "It's a pity he's not my son. I asked him to recognize a godfather, but the boy tried to change the subject. It's obvious he doesn't want to."
He'd be laughing in his sleep if he had such a smart and handsome son.
Su Yi smiled, "Maybe she'll be willing in the future."
When King Jing saw her smile, he, like a naive young man, also started to laugh.
"Your Highness, I will not accompany you on the rest of the journey. I wish to return to Ganzhou," Su Yi suddenly said.
"Why? Did someone say something unpleasant to Yi Yi?" King Jing suddenly became anxious.
Su Yi said softly, "You've come out to fight a war. Bringing a woman like me by your side would ultimately be bad for your reputation. Besides, I want to take this time to learn something so that I'll be qualified to stay by your side in the future."
She wanted to go to Ganzhou to take care of Wanwan.
Lin Anyuan also went out. Wanwan was with the three children; what if they were bullied?
"Okay, whatever you say, Yiyi, I'll send people to protect you."
King Jing respected any choice his beloved made.
Up to now, he has only rested in the same room with Su Yi and applied ointment to her hands; nothing more has happened.
"By the way, where did Lin Anyuan go? I was just saying I'd have him come and meet you. I'm sure you'd like him if you met him."
Fearing that he would be upset, King Jing changed the subject back to Lin Anyuan.
"This guy is really good-looking, a grown man, much better than you in plain clothes..."
King Jing paused abruptly, dressed in plain clothes, and said, "Wait a minute, I was wondering why I liked this kid so much. It turns out his eyes look a bit like yours."
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that she'd discovered it, she wouldn't hide it anymore.
However, no matter how outstanding her son becomes in the future, he will always be criticized for getting ahead through nepotism.
The next second, King Jing said, "No, that boy isn't as good-looking as you."
"Yiyi, you are the prettiest."
Plain clothes: ...
"..."
...
Achoo!
Lin Anyuan was walking down the street when he suddenly sneezed.
At this moment, the rebels had just captured Jizhou City, and most of the people were hiding in their homes, making the streets unusually empty.
"Uncle, are you alright? Should I take off my cotton coat for you to wear? Please don't catch a cold." Silly girl said, starting to take off her cotton coat.
He only stopped after being glared at.
Lin Anyuan is here to collect statistics on the disaster-stricken people so that disaster relief grain can be distributed in a unified manner later.
The prefect of Jizhou had disappeared, and the remaining officials were all clueless, knowing nothing when asked.
The charity hall not far away was open and full of people.
These are all disaster victims who received relief earlier.
Seeing Lin Anyuan and his group looking away, they cautiously shrank back, but the place was too crowded and they couldn't squeeze in any further.
"Young master, young master!"
Afu, who was following behind Lin Anyuan, suddenly panicked and ran towards the charity hall.
The silly girl grabbed him and pulled him back, saying, "Behave yourself, which one is your young master?"
Pei San stepped out from the crowd. "I am Pei San. May I ask who you are?"
Pei San was frustrated that Jizhou City had fallen in such a short time.
However, it's likely that Jizhou City had just suffered a disaster, and the authorities hadn't implemented any relief measures, making it a vulnerable time.
Pei San was already very fortunate that the rebels did not burn, kill, or loot after entering the city.
These people... don't look like rebels.
“Pei San?” Lin Anyuan looked at the man.
His long hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. His face was as fair as jade, his eyes as bright as stars, his posture was upright, and his demeanor was outstanding. Anyone who saw him would have to say, "What a handsome young man!"
While Lin Anyuan was sizing up Pei San, Pei San was also sizing up Lin Anyuan.
With such outstanding looks and an air of elegance, which noble family's young master is this?
There doesn't seem to be such a person in the capital.
Could it be that he hasn't been to the capital for a long time, which is why he doesn't recognize me?
Just then, Lin Anyuan suddenly smiled, a smile so beautiful it was impossible to look away.
"Young Master Pei, I am a traitor."
...
...
"Is this corn?"
In a field, Ye Wan planted the newly acquired corn seedlings, intending to use them as an experimental field.
People nearby kept asking questions out of curiosity.
"Madam Ye, why is it called Corn? It sounds like rice made of jade."
Ye Wan coughed lightly, "I'm not quite sure either. It seems that in some places it's also called corn. I saw it in a miscellaneous book."
"Corn? It should be a type of millet, but I don't know what it looks like when it grows, or if it's really edible."
“Yes, we can eat them. We’ll use this field to cultivate the seeds, and when they grow, we’ll distribute them to everyone.”
While Ye Wan was talking to everyone, someone suddenly shouted at her sternly.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing?!"
"Who told you to plant all this random stuff in the field? What are these weeds? Pull them out right now!"
Ye Wan looked at the newcomer, who appeared to be around thirty years old, with a fair complexion and no beard, wearing a brocade robe. She assumed he was Shen Pi.
He spoke expressionlessly, "So it's Lord Shen. The Prince has given me authority, so naturally I have the final say. It's not appropriate for you to act so arrogantly as soon as you arrive."
"That's utter nonsense! The Prince said to plant potatoes in these fields, what kind of garbage are you planting?!"
"You woman, you're all talk and no action! You do things according to your own whims, don't you know how many people are starving! Do you know how many lives this acre of potatoes will save?"
"Ignorant woman, utterly foolish!"
Shen Pi launched into a tirade, causing those who had been surrounding Ye Wan to retreat several steps.
Ye Wan asked Hui Gu to stop the people who wanted to pull up the seedlings, and joked, "Oh, so Lord Shen is so well-fed and chubby, and dressed so elegantly, yet he is so concerned about others not having enough to eat? I am truly ashamed."
"What do you mean? Men, what are you all standing there for? Quickly pull out these weeds!"
Shen Pi, who had gained weight from not going out during this period, was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"Try pulling one out yourself, you think you're so great?"
