A carrier pigeon took off, flapping its wings and flew away.
On the city wall, a guard looked at the flying pigeon with a worried look on his face and asked Lin Qi in a low voice, "Master Lin, shouldn't we stop the pigeon?"
Lin Qi looked at the flying pigeon and slowly shook his head, "No need."
The prince has already disobeyed the order, so there is little point in stopping the carrier pigeon.
Chang'an will know about this sooner or later.
"Keep an eye on the outside and report any situation immediately without delay.
Without the prince's order, the city gates shall not be opened for anyone to come."
The guards all bowed and answered in unison, "Yes!"
Lin Qi flew down from the city gate, landed directly on the horse's back, and galloped all the way back to the palace.
But when he was about to approach the courtyard where the study was, Lin Qi stopped.
Ever since the goddess first came to Tingzhou, this courtyard has become taboo and no one can enter at will.
Even though he has always been by the prince's side, he cannot enter without the prince's order.
He had to go because Eunuch Chen came suddenly and the situation was urgent.
Now he doesn't dare to go there again.
I don’t know if the prince will punish him when he remembers this matter later.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi let out a long sigh.
Bang!
Lin Qi was startled when his shoulder was suddenly patted.
Looking closely, I saw Sun Er's plump, white face full of sorrow.
Because he was full of sorrow, his chubby white face was full of wrinkles, making him look more like a big bun just out of the pot.
"Lin Qi, what are you doing standing here? Didn't the prince ask you to escort Eunuch Chen and the others out of the city?"
"They've been sent out. They've set up camp outside the city. I guess they've decided not to leave."
Lin Qi sighed as he spoke, "Fortunately, the farm work has been completed, otherwise it would be really inconvenient."
Sun Er was not so optimistic, "You may have forgotten that it still needs watering.
It needs watering every two days, and tomorrow is the next watering day. What should I do then?"
"ah?"
Lin Qi was surprised at first, then his brows soon frowned.
Seeing that Lin Qi was also beginning to worry, Sun Er patted him on the shoulder gently and said, "You don't have to think too much. Anyway, you can't think of any solution with your brain. Just report the matter back to the prince and see how the prince handles it!"
"That's true—"
After saying just three words, Lin Qi realized something was wrong and his eyes widened.
Wasn't Sun Er just saying that he was stupid?
Lin Qi glared at Sun Er, but soon, his eyes turned and he thought of a good idea.
“My brain is not very good, and I am not very good at speaking.
Brother Sun, I can only entrust you with reporting this news to the prince."
Sun Er looked at Lin Qi in surprise, and laughed after a moment, "I didn't expect it! Lin Qi, your little brain can actually be so smart!
Fine, fine, since you think so quickly, I will report it for you."
Lin Qi, "......"
This sounded like a compliment to him, but it didn't sound like a compliment to him.
He wanted to see how Sun Er reported the news to the prince.
The next moment, Sun Er took out a walkie-talkie from behind his waist.
"Your Highness..."
Listening to Sun Er reporting to the prince on the intercom, Lin Qi felt so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
How come he didn't think of such a simple method?
It’s really a waste of using the walkie-talkie for so long!
No!
It’s not that he didn’t think about it, he just didn’t want to disturb the prince and the goddess!
Various thoughts flashed through Lin Qi's mind, but there was no expression on his face.
After Sun Er finished his report, he stared at the walkie-talkie.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
Lin Qi finally smiled, "Brother Sun, go and get busy! I'll just wait for news from the prince!"
Compared with Lin Qi, Sun Er does have more things to do and cannot wait here all the time.
After patting Lin Qi's shoulder lightly again, Sun Er strode away.
-
In the grocery store.
Sang Jueqian and Li Junyan hugged each other quietly.
The intercom rang at this moment.
Although walkie-talkies are quite convenient, the sound coming through them always sounds a bit weird.
Both Sang Jueqian and Li Junyan were startled when they heard the voice suddenly.
After hearing what was being said, Sang Jueqian looked at Li Junyan with some concern, "They're waiting at the city gate. Is that really all right? How are the people going to water their crops?
When the news gets back, the emperor will be furious. Will he summon you back to Chang'an?"
If the emperor really summoned Li Junyan back to Chang'an.
Will Li Junyan reply or not?
If I go back, I will definitely be punished.
But if you don't reply, the consequences will only be worse.
By this calculation, it seems that neither replying nor not replying will work.
Even though the incident had not happened yet, just thinking about it made Su Mo feel extremely conflicted and worried.
Li Junyan looked at the worry on Sang Jueqian's face and rubbed her head gently. "Qianqian, don't worry. Didn't I tell you that I will find a way to deal with it?"
"Can--"
Sang Jueqian had just said this one word when he suddenly heard a loud bang.
The sound was like an explosion in his ears, startling Sang Jueqian so much that he subconsciously held Li Junyan and put his head on his chest.
At the same time, Li Junyan also raised his arms, protecting Sang Jueqian in his arms, and looked around vigilantly.
