As Chu Xuan had expected, as soon as he entered the palace, he was scolded by the emperor.
Chu Zhen stood aside, occasionally chiming in: "Chu Xuan, you are too ignorant. Concubine Yun did such a shameful thing, which is a shame for the royal family! You go to commemorate such a woman every year, aren't you just slapping your father in the face?"
"Brother Prince Ning, how did you know that I was leaving the city today?" Chu Xuan had heard so many unlucky and hurtful words that he had become numb to them and could even fight back calmly.
Chu Zhen didn't expect that he still had a brain to think, and was speechless for a moment: "You...you go to the suburbs to pay tribute to Concubine Yun every year, everyone in the capital knows it!"
"So Brother Prince Ning is slandering me based on guesswork?"
Chu Xuan sneered: "Did Brother Prince Ning send someone to follow me so that he knows my whereabouts so well?"
"Chu Xuan you..."
"Okay! Stop arguing!" the emperor shouted, interrupting their quarrel.
Then he threw a memorial on the imperial desk, "Yingcheng is suffering from drought. There is no harvest this year. The people are suffering. This is the largest drought since I ascended the throne. I want to send the prince to go there."
Chu Xuan listened expressionlessly.
He had heard before entering the palace that this year's disaster in Yingcheng was not just a matter of disaster. Yingcheng was the capital of the previous dynasty. There were many people in the city who wanted to restore the previous dynasty. It had always been the most mixed place in Tianji Kingdom.
Officials who went to provide disaster relief died one after another, the situation was very serious.
At this time, the emperor wanted to send the prince to provide disaster relief. Chu Xuan couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
I want him to die directly in Yingcheng!
As expected, the emperor said calmly: "Chu Xuan, you have nothing to do these days, are you willing to share my worries?"
Chu Xuan sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Your son obeys your order."
The emperor did not give him any chance to refuse, and whether he agreed or not would not affect the outcome.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave after receiving the order, the emperor said coldly without even looking up, "I heard that you and your princess are in love. Take your princess with you to Yingcheng."
Haha, this is to kill them all and completely eradicate him!
Chu Xuan gritted his teeth and said calmly, "Yes."
Chu Xuan was very angry in the palace, so after returning home, he went straight to Yun Yayuan.
Seeing Lu Yanluo playing with Chu Yuan in the yard, Chu Xuan coughed lightly and reluctantly told her what had just happened.
Lu Yanluo said calmly: "He really wants to kill you all the time."
Chu Xuan also nodded calmly: "Send the children to Cheng Ruoxue, and send a message to General Wen, asking him to protect the two children in secret."
“…This is the only way.”
Lu Yanluo wilted again.
[Nothing good has happened since I came to this crappy place! ]
[After so much effort, the big pig's hoof finally behaved like a human being, but the emperor had another seizure! ]
【What kind of people are these? 】
After cursing in her heart for a long time, Lu Yanluo suddenly remembered something and glared at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan explained guiltily: "You scolded me so suddenly that I was totally unprepared, so I heard everything!"
Lu Yanluo waved her hands impatiently: "Listen, listen, I'm scolding you!"
"……good."
How dare he speak!
The two men prepared like this for several days, cursing and swearing at each other. Three days later, they left the capital and went to Yingcheng to provide disaster relief.
Little did they know that Chu Zhen was standing on the city wall with his hands behind his back, admiring their backs as they left Beijing.
"Yingcheng is my territory."
Chu Zhen had a sinister look on his face, and a wisp of sand slipped out from between his fingers.
"Tell the people of Yingcheng to prepare. Make sure Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo die in Yingcheng, or else bring your heads to see me!"
Yingcheng was originally a pool of muddy water, and he just stirred the muddy water a little.
Chu Xuan, let’s see how you can escape this time!
…
Yingcheng.
Lu Yanluo sat bored in the carriage, quietly watching Chu Xuan studying the disaster situation in Yingcheng.
She frowned and said, "Why don't we go directly to the county government office and find the Yingcheng County Magistrate?"
"no."
Chu Xuan shook his head and said in a cold voice: "The drought in Yingcheng this time is not a major problem. The damage is not serious. Once Shen He goes to the county government to distribute the disaster relief money, the drought will be solved."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Yanluo.
Chu Xuan rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "The reason why Yingcheng is so miserable is because of the plague."
Hearing about the plague, Lu Yanluo became excited.
The ancient plague was just a small problem for her. She could make a vaccine in minutes and cure the plague directly from the source!
However……
"careful!"
Chu Xuan shouted suddenly.
Then several black shadows flashed before Lu Yanluo's eyes, and she was pushed aside by Chu Xuan.
Lu Yanluo was hit so hard that she saw stars and in a trance she saw countless black-clad assassins pouring in.
"They really are haunting us!"
Chu Xuan gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and killed the few people closest to them.
Lu Yanluo also knocked down a few people and said in panic, "Let's leave here first."
The two men were agile and fought their way out of a bloody situation, then escaped through a small path.
[My hand hurts so much...]
Hiding in the alley, Lu Yanluo was filled with despair.
[Poor me, I was born as a spy, I am not good at using cold weapons, I don’t know how to use this ancient sword, I was accidentally injured! ]
The pursuers were still watching closely, but Chu Xuan didn't delay at all. He tore off the cloth strips on his body to bandage her, and scolded her in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
Lu Yanluo felt a little aggrieved: "I was so focused on the fight that I didn't notice it."
There was a horrific cut on her left arm by the long knife, which made Chu Xuan tremble with fear and feel extremely distressed.
"It's my fault." Chu Xuan lowered his eyes, "I didn't expect King Ning's hand could reach Yingcheng and cause you to be injured."
Lu Yanluo shook her head: "It has nothing to do with you. Go to the county government office first to find Shen He. Shen He is with the soldiers. No matter how powerful the people of Prince Ning are, they dare not openly oppose the government."
Chu Xuan nodded: "Yeah."
When they arrived at the county government office, the county magistrate came out to greet them: "I am Liu Tie, the magistrate of Yingcheng County. I pay my respects to Prince Ye and His Majesty the Princess!"
Chu Xuanli ignored him and only asked, "Where is Shen He? My princess is injured and needs medicine to treat the wound."
“I’m injured…”
Liu Tie recited this sentence, with a hint of deliberate viciousness flashing in his eyes.
By the time Chu Xuan reacted, it was too late!
"Come on! Take down the traitor!"
Liu Tie shouted loudly!
The gate of the county government office was suddenly closed, and countless soldiers rushed out from all directions, surrounding Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo tightly!
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes: "You are so brave."
Liu Tie snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Prince Ning said that Night Prince Chu Xuan is suspected of treason. Prince Ning has obtained the secret order from the emperor to arrest Night Prince Chu Xuan immediately!"
"The emperor secretly ordered the disposal of the prince? Or is it outside the capital?"
Lu Yanluo retorted, asked twice, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "Liu Tie, if you spread this, I'm afraid His Majesty himself won't believe it, right?"
[Obviously, Liu Tie is King Ning's man. King Ning can find an excuse to let Liu Tie hold them back.]
Upon hearing this, Liu Tie indeed hesitated.
After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Then put King Ye Chu Xuan in jail first, and wait for the secret order from His Majesty to arrive before making any further decisions!"
