Lin Yuxin heard this and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
[Protect me? Am I doing something important? Why would the emperor send someone to protect me? Is it to protect Xiaohao? But the emperor probably doesn't know that Xiaohao is his son? Forget it, who cares? Since he's here to protect her, it would be a waste if he didn't do it, not to mention that he's the emperor's man! ]
[As for those adulterers, she wanted to see what they could do. ]
Although Lin Yuxin was puzzled, it did not affect her from asking the emperor to grant her special privileges, hehehe!
Those rat shits are not taken care of for the time being.
Li Xiaochen felt itchy inside when he saw Lin Yuxin's smug look.
He did not hide his special feelings for Lin Yuxin, so the officials around him could see it. They looked at each other, suppressing their surprise. Was this regent interested in Princess Pingning?
Whether it was true or false, all the officials were very respectful to Lin Yuxin.
"Meet the Regent Prince, Princess Pingning!"
When the officials saw the two men approaching, they all saluted.
"Get up! It's getting late, let's go!"
Li Xiaochen responded indifferently.
Lin Yuxin saw several adults and recognized a familiar face, so she went back to the carriage. As the carriage slowly drove away from the capital, the figures of her grandfather and others became smaller and smaller.
Lin Yuxin withdrew her gaze with red eyes, calmed down, and prepared to face new challenges.
Li Xiaochen looked at her expression and chuckled.
"I thought I was going to comfort you. I didn't expect you to stop feeling sad so soon."
"Sadness is not my character, and I'm not going to come back! The most important thing now is the situation in North City."
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes and glared at him.
"Haha! Okay!"
Li Xiaochen didn't tease her, but said in a serious tone:
"I sent Leng Han ahead of time to find out the situation. There should be news in two days."
"How long will it take us to reach the border of Jebuk City?"
Lin Yuxin asked with frowned eyebrows.
"About ten days."
"You can do a lot in ten days..."
Lin Yuxin lowered her brows and thought.
[Alas! There are no airplanes in this world, otherwise it would only take half a day to get there. Ten days, it shouldn't be a big deal. It's been more than a month since the disaster and the civil riots. I hope we can stop it! ]
Suddenly, a pair of big hands held her hands. Lin Yuxin was stunned and looked up at Li Xiaochen.
"Let go. I believe you can handle this."
Li Xiaochen comforted her softly. Although he didn't know what the airplane Lin Yuxin was talking about was, he could see that Lin Yuxin was anxious. When the emperor assigned her this task, she went from being stunned to accepting it, and then to being anxious now. It could be seen that she took this matter very seriously.
"Yeah! I know!"
Lin Yuxin would shake Li Xiaochen's hand for a moment and then slowly relax. She did feel the pressure. She was just a woman, even if she had some skills, but this was about the food and lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
How could she not feel pressured? Although her elders had more time and had learned some skills, she was still just a doctor! A battlefield doctor!!
I treat patients and save lives on the battlefield every day. I have saved many people by taking advantage of the convenience of space. When there is no war, I will go to the military hospital to see a Chinese doctor.
But she was always one-on-one, and now she is asked to be a political official and do things. She really feels pressured!
But she was not afraid, because she had a photographic memory and a lot of knowledge stored in her mind.
Isn't it all about saving lives? Saving one person or many people, as long as the method is right, it will always succeed.
There were more than a dozen people in the entire forward team. In addition to the fifty guards sent by the emperor, Li Xiaochen also brought ten people, and her grandfather also gave her twenty people. Add those officials and them, and it was enough to make up about a person.
The team marched towards the north in a mighty manner.
After walking for several days in a row, Lin Yuxin's butt was almost broken.
Lin Yuxin couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately stuck her head out and shouted to Li Xiaochen who was riding a horse and leading the way in front of her:
"Li Xiaochen, I'm going to take a break!"
People around were used to hearing the sound. Princess Pingning had called out the Regent Prince's name countless times along the way.
At first they were trembling with fear, waiting for Princess Pingning to be yelled at by the Regent King, but the Regent King was not only not angry, but also walked away calmly, doing whatever Princess Pingning asked him to do.
It simply blinded their eyes. How could this still be the high and mighty Regent they thought he was? This is simply a henpecked husband? This is simply a disgrace to men!!!
"Wait! When did the Regent Prince and Princess Pingning get married? It seems like they didn't get it? Could it be that they remembered it wrong?"
"It's true that they haven't gotten married yet, but the prince is rushing to get married now!"
"What's so good about Princess Pingning! She's just a little girl! I don't know what the emperor was thinking this time, actually sending such a young girl to fight drought in the north city."
"I don't know! Just wait and see, some girls will cry!"
Several officials from the Ministry of Industry sat together to rest, watching Li Xiaochen get off the carriage and personally help Lin Yuxin down. He also put a piece of paper on the ground for her before letting Lin Yuxin sit down.
The adults were upset, but they didn't dare to speak to the Regent, fearing that he would kill them, so they could only discuss in a low voice here.
"But tell me, how did Princess Pingning get the emperor to agree to let her go north?"
"I guess it was the Regent who asked for her to come! I think the Emperor will definitely send the Regent to take charge this time. Princess Pingning! She is here to accompany the Regent, and they haven't even gotten married yet, but she's here so fast. I'm afraid these two have had an affair for a long time, right?"
"Do you think the Emperor will agree to their marriage? But the Emperor favors the Regent so much, he will probably agree in the end!"
"Okay, you guys are really getting more and more gossipy. What we want to discuss now is the North City incident. Do you have anything to do with the Regent King's marriage?"
At this time, Wang Feng, the Minister of Works, who had been silent, interrupted them and the more they talked, the more they got confused.
The adults looked at each other. Isn't this Lord Wang always the most lustful? Why doesn't he gossip today?
"Yes, indeed. Let's talk about the situation in North City."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Gu Yuanwailang hurriedly spoke up to ease the mood.
Then everyone started discussing what happened in North City.
However, Minister Wang looked at Lin Yuxin with a hint of ill will in his eyes.
Lin Yuxin was drinking the water that Li Xiaochen handed over to her when she felt a cold gaze cast on her.
Lin Yuxin frowned, turned her head and met Minister Wang's gaze.
[Why does this guy look familiar? But I can tell from the look in his eyes that he's not a good person! ]
Lin Yuxin couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.
Li Xiaochen, who was standing by, heard Lin Yuxin's voice and followed her line of sight. He saw that Minister Wang had just retracted his gaze, and a dark light flashed in Li Xiaochen's eyes.
Then he turned around and Lin Yuxin introduced:
"Those officials, sitting next to you is Wang Feng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, next to him is Gu Qing, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, and to the right are Liu Hongbo, Shao Chongshan, and another one named Lu Feng. They are all from the Ministry of Works. If nothing unexpected happens, they will all listen to Wang Feng this time. It seems that you still have to find a way to make them listen to you."
