The moment he said this, Sang Jueqian himself was shocked.
Just now, her mouth seemed to have a mind of its own!
Why did you just say that casually?
Sang Jueqian wanted to cover her face, but she wanted to see Li Junyan's expression even more.
She covered her face with her hands and looked at Li Junyan's expression through her fingers.
Li Junyan's fair skin was slightly flushed, but it was not very obvious.
But his ears were completely red.
Sang Jueqian had only heard before that when some people are shy, their faces won’t turn very red, but their ears will turn very red.
I've heard this many times, but I've never seen it happen.
Unexpectedly, I saw it on Li Junyan’s face now!
Looking at Li Junyan's red ears, Sang Jueqian suddenly became curious.
I wonder what this red ear feels like to touch?
Thinking this in her mind, her slender fingers twisted subconsciously.
Just then, Lin Qi came running over.
"Your Majesty!"
Lin Qi looked anxious and used his Qinggong skills to arrive in front of Li Junyan in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with your ears?"
The smile and shyness on Li Junyan's face disappeared in an instant. He glanced at Lin Qi coldly, and his voice was without a trace of emotion.
"What's going on?"
Lin Qi then remembered the important matter, and hurriedly lowered his eyes, stood up straight, and carefully recounted the whole story.
"My subordinates and others were busy in the fields when we suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves on the pipeline and smoke rising in the distance.
A group of people are rushing towards this side. They will be outside the city in about half an hour. We don’t know who they are yet.
Xu San and his men are on high alert outside, and I will return to report the news."
Li Junyan's expression became serious when he heard this. "Let's go and take a look."
Xizhou and Tingzhou are more remote than each other, and there are usually very few caravans coming here. How come so many people suddenly come here?
The sound of a horse galloping on the pipeline can be heard from a long distance, so the speed must be very fast.
In this case, either there is a real emergency or the person has bad intentions.
The range that Sang Jueqian could see also moved with Li Junyan's movement.
When they arrived outside the city, walked out of the tent area and came to the official road, they could already see a group of horsemen approaching in the distance.
Half a minute passed in the blink of an eye, and the group of people arrived nearby.
Before the smoke and dust in the air had completely dissipated, all the people on horseback had dismounted and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Greetings to the King, may the King be blessed."
The group of people spoke in loud voices and were full of energy, not at all like they were on a long journey.
Li Junyan did not relax because of their politeness.
On the contrary, Li Junyan looked at them with extremely cold eyes, "You are the Crown Prince's guards. If you don't stay by his side and stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion, what are you doing here?"
"We are here on the orders of the Crown Prince to deliver the gold."
Sang Jueqian didn’t know how Li Junyan reacted after hearing this, but she was stunned.
The prince sent someone to deliver gold?
What gold to give?
The prince is also starting to act crazy?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Li Junyan's indifferent voice asking, "Why did the prince ask you to deliver gold? To whom? How much?"
"In reply to Prince Chen, the total is 20,000 taels of gold. The Crown Prince said that if the Governor of Xizhou is still alive, then the gold will be given to him.
If he dies, the gold will be handed directly to Prince Chen.
The prince also said that Prince Chen had lived a life of luxury since childhood, and it was normal for him to feel uncomfortable after suddenly coming to this remote and poor place.
The prince said that he could not leave the capital and could not do anything else, but he could still send some gold cakes.
Prince Chen will never have the chance to return to Chang'an in this lifetime. These 20,000 taels are enough for Prince Chen to live out the rest of his life in peace in Tingzhou and Xizhou."
This person said such a long speech, but to sum it up, it can be summed up in just one sentence.
These twenty thousand taels of gold were the life-saving money given by the prince to Li Junyan!
Regardless of whether Li Junyan was angry or not, Sang Jueqian was angry anyway.
When Li Junyan returns to the capital one day and meets the prince, she will definitely teach him a lesson on Li Junyan's behalf!
Sang Jueqian was thinking about it when he saw Li Junyan smile slightly and his voice became gentler.
"So that's how it is! Then keep the gold!"
When you return, remember to tell the prince that if he is truly a good brother, then 20,000 taels is not enough. Ask him to send 20,000 taels of gold every year."
The guard looked up in surprise and looked at Li Junyan in disbelief.
Is Prince Chen crazy?
You actually want to say such things to the prince?
As he was complaining in his heart, his eyes met Li Junyan's.
The guard lowered his head instantly, not daring to look at Li Junyan again.
Li Junyan didn't care about his offense, "Remember to convey my words.
If you don't tell the prince, and he doesn't know about it, and therefore doesn't give me the gold, then you can't bear the consequences of destroying the brotherly relationship between me and the prince."
The guard's body tensed up instantly, and he dared not think about it anymore, and quickly agreed.
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely convey this message to the Crown Prince."
Li Junyan nodded slightly. "Xizhou City has just experienced an earthquake. The people have no place to live. The city is in ruins. Some people are sick and contagious. Therefore, you are not allowed to sit inside. You can go back now."
When the guards heard the words "It's contagious if you're sick", their faces turned pale instantly.
They set out from Chang'an to Xizhou, and they hurried along the way, and their bodies were exhausted.
