Before Yan An fully understood what friendship was, he and all the people in Qingyang County learned a shocking news the next day.
The emperor has sent an imperial envoy to investigate the Yan family case eight years ago, and the ceremonial procession is about to enter the city.
Seeing him stunned, Wen Yu waved her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "What kind of reaction is this?"
Yan An came back to his senses and murmured, "Imperial Envoy?"
Lin Yuzhi took a sip of tea and said, "You can go to the Imperial Envoy to complain."
Yan An shook his head: "I don't trust those officials. They are all servile and collusive. Maybe I complained about my injustice one second and was detained by a master the next. It's just that the officials are protecting each other."
Lin Yuzhi, who was slandered for no reason: ...
Wen Yu asked: "Then do you know who the imperial envoy is this time?"
"I don't know. This is confidential. Before the imperial envoy arrives, even the county magistrate may not know about it. But I guess it may be the governor."
Wen Yu shook her finger and said, "The one who came is the prime minister, Lin Yuzhi."
Yan An blinked and remained silent for a long time.
Then he said something completely unrelated: "Girl, you called the prime minister by his name, aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
Wen Yu: ...
“Is that the point?”
"Of course, the higher the official rank, the more he cares about his authority."
The prime minister was too powerful and far away for the common people in a county town, and he almost only appeared in stories passed down by word of mouth.
"The prime minister of the dynasty was not afraid of the imperial power and repeatedly rejected the princess's courtship"
Yan An pondered and said, "If the imperial envoy is the prime minister, maybe I can give it a try. After all, the prime minister is not afraid of the imperial power and dares to refuse even the princess. He is very likely not to collude with the county magistrate."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
He fell silent.
Wen Yu didn't expect Yan An to bring this up, and she burst out laughing: "The equation is established, rejecting the princess is equal to being fair and strict."
Ning Xuanyan sat next to Wen Yu. He was not very interested in what they were discussing. He just peeled melon seeds quietly.
It was not until this moment that I suddenly became interested.
He pushed the melon seed in front of Wen Yu, and said with a smile on his face, "What a man who dares to refuse even the princess. What a man who is not afraid of the imperial power. He is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty. He is courageous and resolute."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
What a provocation.
Lin Yuzhi's heart swelled slightly. He subconsciously glanced at Wen Yu, only to see that she was eating melon seeds while enjoying it as if she was listening to someone else's good show.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzhi pursed his lips slightly, poured another cup of tea, and said calmly: "Qingyang's version of the story is outdated."
"Ah? Are there other versions? Tell me about them."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
As expected, compared to people's livelihood, royal anecdotes are what the people like to hear most.
He considered his words in his mind and said slowly: "The Princess and Prime Minister Lin..."
"That's not right, girl."
Yan An suddenly interrupted Lin Yuzhi, and as if realizing something, he asked in confusion: "How do you know that the imperial envoy is the Prime Minister?"
Lin Yuzhi: ...
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Isn't this simple?"
As she spoke, she poked Lin Yuzhi's shoulder with her index finger, then rested her chin on her hand and said casually, "He is the imperial envoy."
Yan An: ...
Lin Yuzhi was called out. He lowered his eyes and looked at the shoulder that was poked. Just the touch of their fingertips gave him a tingling sensation.
"Girl, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about. If you pretend to be an imperial envoy, you will really be beheaded. It's okay for you to say it in front of me, but don't say it in front of others."
Wen Yu exclaimed, "So if he is Lin Yuzhi, he will be beheaded. If he is not Lin Yuzhi, then who is Lin Yuzhi?"
"Miss, didn't I tell you not to address the Prime Minister by his name?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows: "There's no one else here, and he wouldn't know if I called him directly."
Yan An sighed and said, "So you admit that this young master is not the Prime Minister? Girl, you really can't make such jokes casually in the future."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
Wen Yu patted Yan An's shoulder, looking at Lin Yuzhi with a serious face but a half-smile: "You are right, he is not Lin Yuzhi, then who is Lin Yuzhi?"
Ning Xuanyan curled his lips: "No one."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
Yan An decided to take a gamble. No matter whether the imperial envoy was the prime minister or not, he would go to stop the emperor and appeal for justice.
"Princess, I will go and meet them now, and I will send someone to pick you up after we arrive at the office."
As soon as Lin Yu left, Ning Xuanyan said, "Finally left."
He wanted to sleep in the same bed with Wen Yu these two nights, but Lin Yuzhi opposed it openly or secretly. Wen Yu also looked like she was enjoying the fun and let him sleep in the same room with Lin Yuzhi.
The two looked at each other and realized that it was impossible.
So Ning Xuanyan took a step back, checked into another room and lived alone, then returned to Wen Yu's bed in the middle of the night, kissing, hugging and poking her.
Wen Yu's lips sparkled, and she laughed jokingly, "Climbing into bed in the middle of the night is not what a gentleman does."
"Who asked you to watch the fun and let me sleep in the same room with him? Is it fun?"
Wen Yu smiled without saying anything and just kissed them again.
Until Lin Yuzhi left, Ning Xuanyan peeled the last handful of melon seeds and washed his hands: "I want to sleep with you openly tonight."
On the other hand, Yan An made up his mind, wrote a letter in blood, and decided to stop in front of the imperial envoy's guard of honor to appeal for justice.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant of Qingyang County Government were waiting at the city gate early.
As for the county magistrate, even after the doctor's "miraculous treatment", he was still unable to get out of bed and kept lying on the bed groaning.
It hurts so much. It hurts so much.
"Sir, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant have set out to the city gate to welcome the imperial envoy."
The Dianshi still stayed with the county magistrate.
The county magistrate's eyes turned black with pain and he broke out in cold sweat. "Take it, take it. Can't you really apply some Ma Fei San?"
"The doctor said it can't be applied."
