"No, no, I'm not going to chase after them..."
Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand repeatedly, and Sui Mo helped her down from the horse.
Originally intending to catch up with his elder sister in one go, they had only traveled for a day and had just arrived in Xiagao County when the cavalrymen who had stayed behind said that they had entered Jindi County a day earlier.
After a day of bumpy travel at full speed, Qin Zhaoyue's buttocks couldn't take it anymore; her calves were trembling, and her inner thighs were burning with pain.
Moreover, the sky had cleared up, and the disaster was unlikely to worsen, so they quickly called a halt to the troop movement.
The group of over two hundred people was easy to accommodate, and they entered the nearest village.
Without a doubt, once he moved into the village chief's house, the old man had no choice but to bring his family to squeeze into the township, without daring to utter a single complaint.
Goodness, a distinguished guest from the capital, we can't afford to offend him.
The maids quickly cleaned and tidied up, and the dozen or so maids worked efficiently, soon changing the princess's bedding.
"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."
Qin Zhaoyue slowly moved forward with her legs apart, each step accompanied by a hiss, her face contorted in pain and a grimace.
Still, Suimo couldn't stand it, so he picked the person up and carried him into the inner room.
"Slow down, slow down, hiss..."
Suppressing a laugh, Sui Mo gently set the person down, saying, "Your Highness is just not used to riding a horse yet. Your skin is so delicate, you'll get used to it with more practice."
Qin Zhaoyue rolled her eyes: Whoever wants to practice can practice, I'm not going to.
If she develops bowlegs, who can she complain to? Seriously, she's a princess!
My eldest sister rides horses all the time, and it's becoming quite obvious. We must take this as a warning.
Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but reflect on whether she had been too eager for quick success and instant benefits, thinking of achieving everything in one fell swoop, thus losing her original carefree and easygoing nature.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you have any ointment? Apply it to me right now."
Sui Mo couldn't help but smirk, "I have some excellent wound medicine. Apply it, sleep it off, and you'll be fine."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Inside the room, everyone in the ink group turned their backs to their work, afraid that their playful expressions would be seen.
With the Sixth Princess's mouth, if she finds them gloating, she'll probably expose them.
Tao Yao sensed a strong sense of crisis in her workplace.
Previously, Suimo and the others were all guards, and His Highness only brought her as a maid to serve him.
After twenty days, they had learned everything, and apart from makeup, they had all been taken over by the others.
Seeing Sui Mo enter with wound medicine, she quickly stepped forward and extended her hand, saying, "This servant will help you."
The Sixth Prince's personal maid must be kept in custody.
Sui Mo didn't say anything and silently handed it over, but Qin Zhaoyue suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute!"
Tao Yao's body suddenly stiffened: Oh no, she was being disliked, she was no longer His Highness's most beloved maid...
Qin Zhaoyue didn't notice her strange behavior and looked around warily. "Where's Liuyan? Where is Liuyan?"
Sui Mo was puzzled. "They should be guarding the area. What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Qin Zhaoyue wrinkled her nose, clicked her tongue, and muttered softly, half-covering her mouth, "You guys don't know, that old man stole..."
"Heh!" A sharp shout interrupted what was to come, and the handsome old man appeared out of nowhere.
Liu Yan sighed, "Sixth Prince, I've explained this many times already. The palace armory has a limited number of gold-threaded soft armors."
The recipient was Broken Ink, so it's no surprise that it's now worn by you.
Qin Zhaoyue narrowed her eyes, her gaze as if she were staring at a pervert, which deeply stung the old handsome man's heart.
Thinking back to his time in Fengjing, he was a dashing and debonair figure, flitting among countless beauties...
Oh well... he's never been looked at like that before anyway.
"You said you'd watch over me all the time, so how could I not peek?"
"No!" Liu Yan answered with absolute righteousness, without the slightest hesitation.
"I am a member of the Xuanji Guard, and I am very familiar with the rules of the palace. You are a princess, how could I possibly offend you? Do you want to die?"
"Oh..." Qin Zhaoyue leaned back strategically, "So you don't dare to peek at me, but instead peek at Suimo, Yaoguang, Taoyao, and the Mo Group, right!"
Liu Yan stared, speechless.
He's the commander of the Xuanji Guard, and he even protected the wrong person?
Then everyone in the room looked wary, especially the round-faced maid, who clutched her clothes tightly.
Flowing Flame: ...
The next moment, his figure vanished into thin air again.
So annoying!
Qin Zhaoyue spat inwardly: Serves you right for ruining my plans, and for having no manners at all, Xuanji Guard!
Since it involved the princess's private affairs, and there was no guarantee that there wasn't some old rogue around, Mo surrounded them, and that's when Tao Yao finally got her hands on him.
Everyone formed a circle and turned their backs, and they could hear rustling sounds behind them, indicating that their pants had been taken off.
"Ouch... Be gentle!"
In Jindi County, the princess and her entourage rested for half a day, and everyone recovered.
Especially since it stopped raining, everyone felt relieved.
Qin Zhaoqiong had a solid foundation, and after a good night's sleep, she was full of energy again.
After dinner, they detained the county magistrate and Chief Administrator Wang, and continued their studies by studying the waterway map.
She has traveled all over the upstream and downstream sectors, and now she has a deep understanding of the situation.
The rules and regulations were established and documented regarding where to prepare sandbags and laborers, and where and when to abandon their use for flood discharge.
The work continued until late at night, but the water situation in Jindi County was finally sorted out smoothly.
Letting out a long breath, Qin Zhaoqiong also breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this way, we can respond in time no matter what the water situation is like."
The magistrate of Jindi County quickly stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Your Highness has worked hard. I will certainly live up to your trust and prevent the floods from overflowing."
"Don't let your guard down, let's at least get through the flood season first."
After this incident, the county magistrate was completely convinced of the princess's virtues.
He personally oversaw every detail, thoroughly investigating the main streams and tributaries of Yuchuan within a single day, and then meticulously sorting through everything from beginning to end.
It may sound foolish, but it is actually the safest method, leaving no room for wishful thinking.
"I will assign you another 500 Imperial Guards and a Tiangong Bureau official. If anything unusual happens, respond immediately and do not let it affect the downstream areas."
"yes!"
If the flood situation in Kim Di District is brought under control, half of the disaster relief efforts in Hanoi Province will be completed. The most important remaining area is Long Mon District, located upstream.
That's why Qin Zhaoqiong decided to leave 500 soldiers behind at once, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading.
After the county magistrate and Governor Wang left, the captain of the personal guards came to report again.
"Your Highness, the second batch of disaster relief grain has been transported to Hanoi Prefecture and Bailu Prefecture in batches."
"good!"
Qin Zhaoqiong felt reassured; as long as there was food, there would be few refugees.
Whenever there is a flood in a local area, it is easy to recruit laborers from nearby areas.
"Pass down the notice: depart for Longmen County at 3:00 AM tomorrow."
"yes!"
When Qin Zhaoqiong was the only one left in the room, she couldn't help but think of her sixth sister.
For the past twenty days, there has always been that chatty yet lazy person around me.
Now that we've been apart for a while, I'm not used to it yet.
It seems that Chiyan County has already completed the canal diversion project, but I wonder how the investigation into the illegal ironworks case is progressing.
The Divine Martial Realm experts sent from the capital should have arrived by now; there shouldn't be any danger...
Before dawn the next day, 2,500 riders set off upstream at full speed.
