Chapter 20: Heading to the Southwest



"Damn it, why is it that bitch Liu Qiuchan who always takes the lead everywhere!" Concubine Qin also donated a large amount of gold and silver in the palace to the disaster-stricken southwest.

However, he only received a few words of praise from the emperor. On the contrary, after Liu Qiuchan donated the gold and silver, he not only received the emperor's praise, but also received a lot of rewards.

In contrast, Concubine Qin naturally felt unbalanced and gritted her teeth.

In order to prevent her son from falling behind, Concubine Qin quickly sent someone to inform Jun Beiyu that he must gain a good reputation in front of the emperor so that he could proceed with the next thing.

But it was too late after all. Jun Beiqi generously donated 30,000 dan of grain to help the victims at the morning court. This made the emperor very happy and he praised the prince's benevolence in the court.

It also made many ministers in the court have different thoughts in their minds. The prince was originally weak, and although he was the prince, not many court officials supported him.

But now the emperor's attitude has changed greatly, and he even handed over some affairs in the southwest to the prince to handle, which made many ministers start to observe the prince.

"I appoint the Crown Prince as the Inspector of the Southwest, to supervise the disaster relief efforts of the officials in the southwest. If there are any unusual movements, you can execute them first and report later." As soon as the emperor issued the decree, the Crown Prince would set off for the southwest soon.

A dark look flashed across Jun Beiyu's eyes in the court, and after the morning court, he went to the harem.

Mingde Palace.

Concubine Qin placed the teacup heavily on the table, frowning. "Since the death of the Crown Prince's biological mother, the Crown Prince has been indifferent to the affairs of the court. How come since the death of Queen Lin, the Crown Prince has become a different person?"

"I don't know either, but the prince's action means he will never sit idly by and wait for us to snatch the throne. Mother, what should we do now?" Jun Beiyu said anxiously.

Regardless, Jun Beiyu was still a little young and couldn't keep his composure at the moment, so Concubine Qin raised her hand to signal him to calm down. "Let's wait and see what happens. The prince will be on a tour of inspection in the southwest, and the journey will not be safe, and we can also make him uneasy."

After the words fell, Jun Beiyu instantly understood the meaning of Qin Fei's words, and the same light flashed in the eyes of both of them.

After learning that Jun Beiqi was going to the southwest, Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment and his brows relaxed.

Because in the original plot, Jun Beiyu donated a large amount of grain, which alleviated the disaster in the southwest, which made the emperor particularly value him and sent him to the southwest to deal with the victims.

After Jun Beiyu arrived in the southwest, he systematically purged corrupt officials and properly resettled the victims. This was a major achievement in his record of achievements. Not only did he win the hearts of the people, but he also made the emperor look at him with admiration.

But now with the intervention of Lin Zan and Jun Beiqi, Jun Beiyu did not get this opportunity.

Lin Zhan showed a smug smile. "Jun Beiqi, don't even think about winning the hearts of the people this time."

Just at this moment, a voice was heard outside. It turned out that Jun Beiqi had come. Lin Zhan was a little surprised and hurried out to greet him.

"I'm about to travel to the southwest. Do you have anything to say to me?" Jun Beiqi looked at Lin Zan with twinkling eyes.

Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, carefully recalling the plot of the original book in his mind, and then said, "If the prince says so, I do have a few things to tell the prince."

What Lin Zan didn't know was that Jun Beiqi had heard everything she had just said in her mind.

However, Jun Beiqi still stepped into her room, and then the two of them began to talk secretly.

"First, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives porridge to the victims, he must add some clean sand to the porridge. Second, the water source near the victims must be clean. If there are people who have fallen ill and died, their bodies must be burned and buried safely."

These were the problems that Jun Beiyu encountered when dealing with disaster victims' affairs in the southwest. When Lin Zan was watching the plot, he had to admire Jun Beiyu's intelligence.

However, the smooth handling of these problems depends not only on Jun Beiyu's own ability, but also on one other person.

But Lin Zan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should reveal that person. After all, she was far away in Shangjing, and if she mentioned the person in the southwest, it would definitely arouse the prince's suspicion.

Just as she was hesitating, Jun Beiqi spoke. "Besides these, don't you have anything else to explain?"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Zhan keenly sensed the hidden meaning in Jun Beiqi's words. "How did your Highness know that I would tell you something? Could it be that your Highness really trusted a six-year-old child?"

"I won't believe all six-year-old children, but I have a feeling that I can trust you." Jun Beiqi pursed his lips and smiled, then left without saying anything else.

Although Jun Beiqi was reborn, he had only heard about Jun Beiyu's governance of the southwest and was not clear about the real situation. With a try-it-out attitude, he asked Lin Zan if he had any explanation.

What no one expected was that Lin Zhan seemed to know everything about the southwest and he actually talked about it in a very clear and logical way.

"Lin Zan, sooner or later I will find out who you are and how you know these things." Jun Beiqi whispered.

Watching Jun Beiqi walking out of Lin Zhan's room, Si Xueyi bit her cherry-colored lips.

"Haitang, have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?" Si Xueyi turned around and said to Haitang, the maid behind her.

Haitang nodded immediately. "But Miss, I heard that the Crown Prince will leave soon, I'm afraid it's too late."

"It's okay. I have my own way." Si Xueyi said with a firm look in her eyes.

At the same time, news came from the Imperial Medical Service that several imperial physicians would be selected to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his journey to the southwest.

It was originally decided by drawing lots, but no one expected that the dean would draw the lottery to go to the southwest, and decided to take Qin Shang with him.

After knowing this, Lin Zan immediately suggested to the dean that he could also go to the southwest with them.

"The journey to the southwest is long and bumpy. You will definitely have to sleep in the open air. You are still young and a girl, so you'd better stay in the palace and wait for your teacher to come back." The director refused without even thinking.

Lin Zhan knew that his master was a stubborn person and would never regret having refused, so he gritted his teeth and went to find the emperor.

"You said you were going to the southwest." The emperor looked at Lin Zhan with a puzzled look.

Lin Zhan said quickly. "Your Majesty's brother-in-law, I don't want to stay in the palace as an idler. I want to help your brother-in-law solve his problems."
