Li Junyan lowered his voice, deliberately sounding lazy and sleepy, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, there was a loud thunderclap from the county government office. Something must have happened there. Please stay in your room and don't go out casually.
Wait till tomorrow morning, sir, leave here quickly!"
Li Junyan blinked in the darkness, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
At a time like this, the shopkeeper actually came over specially to say these things to someone he had only met once, which showed that the shopkeeper was a really nice person.
"Okay, I understand. I won't go out easily." Li Junyan agreed.
As for whether to leave early tomorrow morning, that is tomorrow's business.
The shopkeeper felt relieved and walked away slowly.
Listening to the footsteps leaving, Li Junyan slowly sat down at the table, "Qianqian, are you scared?"
Sang Jueqian felt a little strange when he suddenly heard Li Junyan ask this question, "What? What am I afraid of?"
Li Junyan hesitated for a moment, but still made his words clearer, "I just killed someone, are you scared?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Sang Jueqian answered without hesitation, then asked in return, "Why should I be afraid? Those people deserved to die! I wish I could do it myself!"
Even if they said that the prince asked them to do so, they themselves were by no means innocent.
It’s done, so does it matter whose orders it is?
Li Junyan was a little worried before, but after hearing Sang Jueqian's hesitant answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But what followed was even deeper anger.
“In the early years, the prince was just not very powerful.
If he is honest and obedient, and is able to accept the advice of wise ministers, then when he succeeds to the throne, even if he cannot be a wise ruler, he will be able to defend the city.
But in recent years, the prince has become more and more radical, taking more and more extreme approaches, and using all kinds of methods that are not worthy of being mentioned.
Except for King Jing, who was his subordinate, he regarded all his brothers as thorns in his side.
With his mind and character, if he really becomes emperor, the people will suffer miserably."
Having said that, Li Junyan fell silent.
Sang Jueqian listened quietly, and even when Li Junyan stopped talking, she didn't say anything.
It was just because Sang Jueqian knew that at this time, she didn't need to say anything.
Li Junyan didn't need too many of her opinions and suggestions, especially on this matter.
We can only wait for him to figure it out and make his own decision.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Qi came back.
As soon as Lin Qi came back, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, those women have all been sent back and settled."
Li Junyan nodded upon hearing this.
He saw Lin Qi's somewhat conflicted expression, but didn't ask anything.
Although Lin Qi had a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, he didn't say anything.
They both seemed to understand the same thing at the same time, but neither of them said anything.
This made Sang Jueqian even more curious.
After a moment, Sang Jueqian asked softly, "Lin Qi, why do you have that expression? Did something happen to you?"
Lin Qi was startled when he suddenly heard Sang Jueqian's voice.
Without waiting for the situation to calm down, Lin Qi hurriedly answered Sang Jueqian's question.
"Goddess, a little thing happened... When I was sending those women home just now, some of them said that I saved them and they wanted to repay me by becoming my slaves..."
After hearing Lin Qi's explanation, Sang Jueqian instantly thought of Li Junyan's previous instructions.
Li Junyan asked Lin Qi to cover his face, and then went to send the women back.
So, Lin Qi had already anticipated this result at that time?
But how did Li Junyan know?
Is this a matter of experience?
Sang Jueqian became more and more curious and was about to ask when he heard Li Junyan slowly explain.
“I have saved some women before, and some of them said they would repay me by becoming slaves.
Some changed their minds after I persuaded them, and some had to change their minds after I got angry.
But there are some who won't listen no matter what you say, and in the end you can only send them away.
So from then on, I stopped doing things like saving people in person."
After hearing Li Junyan's explanation, Sang Jueqian had only one thought: It really is a matter of experience!
Lin Qi's face was filled with pain. "Your Highness, it's been easy for me. It's been extremely difficult for me and others to deal with these matters every time."
As he spoke, Lin Qi also let out a long sigh.
Li Junyan glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to do it, you can switch with Xu San next time and let Xu San follow me."
"No need! No need to change! I'm willing to do it!"
