When Lin Zan saw this scene, he knew that Qin Huai had temporarily surrendered to Jun Beiqi, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Wei Youli rushed in from the door in a hurry, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Qin Huai kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness, Qin Huai is a very evil person. You must not believe what he says. You are slandering loyal people." Wei Youli shouted loudly.

Jun Beiqi didn't even look at him, but turned around and sat on the chair. Qin Huai untied his outer robe and then tore off a piece of cloth from inside.

There was a small account book inside the cloth. Qin Huai handed the account book over without saying anything. Jun Beiqi opened the account book and took a look.

The account books record the amount and time of grain hidden by Wei Youli and other officials in various grain stores, as well as the amount of silver embezzled by these corrupt officials.

The more Jun Beiqi looked, the colder his expression became, and then his sharp eyes shot directly at Wei Youli.

When he saw the account book, Wei Youli knew that everything was over. He collapsed to the ground, like a dead fish, unable to move.

"Wei Youli, you really opened my eyes. As the official in the southwest, you actually did such a thing. It's ridiculous!" Jun Beiqi was furious and threw the teacup in his hand directly at Wei Youli.

The scalding hot tea flowed down Wei Youli's forehead. Although his skin was burned red, he didn't dare to move at all.

"I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Wei Youli said in a trembling voice.

However, Jun Beiqi acted ruthlessly and directly punished a series of officials including Wei Youli on charges of corruption and bribery.

After putting these officials in jail, Jun Beiqi directly led people to seal off the grain stores that had grain transactions with corrupt officials, and moved out all the grain they had hidden privately.

A large amount of grain piled up in the square instantly attracted the attention of many people. When they learned that the prince had punished corrupt officials and would give them grain to relieve the disaster, they couldn't help but cheer.

At this moment, Lin Zhan was surprised to find that there was a small mark on each bag of grain, which was very inconspicuous.

After seeing the mark, Lin Zhan began to look carefully on the bags of grain and found that more than half of the bags of grain found in the granary had this mark on them.

Lin Zhan then told Jun Beiqi about this matter. "What do you think these marks mean, Your Highness?"

"This mark seems to indicate that the food is left for someone, but we don't know who it is left for." Jun Beiqi guessed.

At this moment, a melodious voice like that of a yellow warbler sounded behind everyone, and Si Xueyi ran down from a simple carriage.

He shouted loudly to Jun Beiqi and Lin Zhan. "Your Highness, Miss Lin."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zan curled his lips speechlessly and looked in the direction of Si Xueyi.

As expected, what was supposed to come finally came, Lin Zhan thought to himself, and Jun Beiqi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Si Xueyi lifted up the hem of her skirt and ran over happily, looking at Jun Beiqi with anticipation on her rosy little face.

In the original plot, Lin Zan did not actually come to the southwest with Jun Beiqi to provide disaster relief, but when Lin Zan did not come, Si Xueyi secretly followed Jun Beiqi.

Jun Beiqi, who was far away in the southwest, was so moved when he saw Si Xueyi coming thousands of miles to find him. Gradually, Jun Beiqi's cold heart began to beat for Si Xueyi.

The trip to the southwest was also a turning point for Jun Beiqi to become Si Xueyi's backup.

So Lin Zan knew from the beginning that Si Xueyi would definitely try every means to come to the southwest and continue to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Looking at Si Xueyi's beautiful and exquisitely dressed face and her sharp eyes staring at Jun Beiqi, Lin Zhan couldn't help but make a secret decision in his heart.

During this trip to the southwest, she must nip Jun Beiqi's love for Si Xueyi in the bud and never let Jun Beiqi become a miserable spare tire.

Jun Beiqi had heard the word "spare tire" several times in Lin Zhan's voice. His curiosity grew stronger, but he didn't know how to ask Lin Zhan.

"Why are you here?" Jun Beiqi asked Si Xueyi.

Si Xueyi excitedly took a piece of beautifully embroidered clothing from the maid and handed it to Jun Beiqi. "It's cold in the southwest, so Xueyi brought a piece of clothing that she cut by herself for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't dislike it."

After she finished speaking, her face turned even redder, and her reluctant look was really alluring in the cold weather!

Even Lin Zan couldn't help but nod in admiration when he saw Si Xueyi's beautiful face!

She is worthy of being the top white lotus in the book. She must have such a pitiful appearance.

Just when Lin Zan thought that Jun Beiqi would fall to Si Xueyi's gentle and considerate attack, he did not expect that Jun Beiqi's brows were colder than the southwest weather.

Jun Beiqi even raised the clothes in Si Xueyi's hand with some disdain and said, "I have brought enough warm clothes with me when I came to the southwest this time. I don't need Miss Si to worry about me."

As soon as the words fell, Si Xueyi's expectant face froze in an instant, while Lin Zhan broke out in laughter.

The low laughter soon turned into a belly laugh. Seeing Jun Beiqi and Si Xueyi looking at her, Lin Zhan waved her hands embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I really can't help it."

"You guys chat about your own things, don't bother me." Lin Zan forced a smile on his face while looking at the two of them with his bright grape-like eyes.

Si Xueyi was rejected by Jun Beiqi in public, and was extremely embarrassed at the moment, but she still threw away the shame of a girl in the boudoir and said while biting her cherry lips. "Your Highness the Crown Prince does not accept Xueyi's kindness. Do you really dislike Xueyi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a layer of mist immediately filled Si Xueyi's affectionate and silent eyes, and she looked at Jun Beiqi pitifully.

Lin Zhan, who was learning from the side, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how amazing!

No man can stand this kind of pitiful look, like that of an abandoned puppy.

Lin Zhan couldn't help but be stunned by this top-level White Lotus operation.

At first, Jun Beiqi's heart trembled for a moment because of Si Xueyi's pitiful look, but it was only for a moment, and then it was replaced by the word "little puppy" in Lin Zhan's heart.

"I am indeed a little disgusted. Your craftsmanship is too poor. It's better not to show it off and embarrass yourself." Jun Beiqi picked up the clothes made by Si Xueyi and threw them on the ground, then said bluntly.
