Chapter 66: Did he become a refugee?
In the previous life, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was on the side of the Sixth Prince. According to the time calculation, the Marquis Mansion also got in touch with the Sixth Prince around this time.
In the previous life, the Sixth Prince made great contributions in this disaster relief, and the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion prospered.
The Sixth Prince is extremely ambitious and is determined to seize the throne, and the cost of this is unimaginable.
Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning used Lu Zhiran's money to pave the way, and only then did they gain the Sixth Prince's respect.
Later, when the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, her value was completely drained away, and she could only die tragically under that bowl of poison...
A man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure. She is rich and destined to be unable to stay out of trouble.
Besides, some people should pay the price for their actions!
She had thought the journey would be extremely difficult, but a few days ago, Manager Shi brought her another unexpected news.
The two people he rescued on his way back to the capital were actually the seventh prince and his servant.
The smooth operation of this shelter was also due to the great contribution of the Seventh Prince.
Thinking back to the divorce decree that day, how could Lu Zhiran not understand? He had known her identity for a long time, so he chose that day to announce the decree.
He's backing her up.
His kindness might have been to repay Uncle Shi for saving his life, but Lu Zhiran kept it in mind.
Thinking of the ending of his previous life, Lu Zhiran felt a sense of sadness.
She couldn't compete with the Sixth Prince by herself, but what if she had a helper?
In this life, perhaps, the Seventh Prince is an ally that he can actively make friends with.
Xiao Yanci has been staying in the shelter recently, busy all day long.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and heavy snow is falling. They need to keep clearing the snow to prevent the greenhouse from collapsing.
The shelter is housing more and more people, and hygiene and security issues are very critical and no mistakes can be made.
In the second half of last night, the snow suddenly fell heavily and piled up thickly. Xiao Yanci led people to clear the snow from the roof overnight. They were busy until the dawn, and everyone could barely catch their breath.
Xiao Yanci shouted to the crowd, "Everyone worked hard last night, so I'll give everyone an extra two taels of silver."
When everyone heard this, the fatigue and resentment from a night of hard work disappeared, and their faces were filled with unconcealable excitement and excitement.
Xiao Yanci returned to his own tent and finally had time to drink a cup of hot tea.
When He Yun saw this, he felt quite uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, just give the order. Why do you have to do all the rough work yourself?"
Xiao Yanci lay on the small couch with his clothes on, stretching his muscles comfortably.
"That guy Xiao Yanqing has been eyeing the shelter covetously, waiting for me to make a mistake so he can take advantage of it. I've already worked so hard for so long, I can't let anything go wrong and let him take advantage of it."
He Yun was speechless after hearing this.
His Highness and the Sixth Prince were born incompatible. Whenever he met one of them, he would fight for it and would never admit defeat.
Just as I was taking a nap, I heard a burst of discussion outside.
"Has the Lu Family Trading Company made any moves?"
"No, I heard that their shop was being smashed and vandalized every day, and the Lu family never came forward to make any explanation, let alone pay out money to appease the public anger."
"Tsk tsk, women are so short-sighted. Even at this critical moment, they are still worried about money. This time they are really going to walk into a trap."
"If she had foresight, she wouldn't have divorced her husband's family. Shrews like her simply bring disgrace upon women."
Xiao Yanci suddenly opened his eyes and gave He Yun a wink, who immediately lifted the curtain and walked out.
After some inquiries, he quickly found out the whole story.
After hearing this, Xiao Yanci was so angry that he laughed.
There are countless shops in Shangjing City, but not every shop donated things. Why did Lu's Shop become the target of public criticism?
If there is no one behind this incident, he would twist his head off and kick it like a ball.
"I haven't been to court for a long time. I'm going to report today."
After saying that, he stood up quickly, casually took a horse, mounted it, and headed towards the city.
He Yun hurried to catch up, thinking that his prince would go back to the prince's residence to change clothes and wash up, but he didn't expect that he would go straight to the palace.
Changing clothes and washing up? What a joke! This was his achievement. He washed everything clean. How could he claim credit for it from his father? He didn't like doing good deeds without leaving a name behind.
After a few days of fermentation, the affairs of the Lu family trading company spread from the people to the court.
At court that day, Lord Ge from the Imperial Censorate directly submitted a memorial to the emperor, implicating Lu Guanxuan in a wrongdoing and even hinting that Lu Guanxuan had instructed him to do so.
Lord Ge took the lead, and several others followed suit. Lu Guanxuan became the target of public criticism.
Lu Guanxuan's face looked very ugly. He secretly regretted that he had believed the girl's lies and indulged her in this matter.
Now, the so-called great gift she mentioned has not arrived, and I am afraid that I can no longer keep the flower feather on my head!
Emperor Defeng's expression was unpredictable, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he didn't look happy at all!
Lu Guanxuan's heart sank to the bottom.
Not daring to hold on to any more luck, he bent his legs and was about to kneel down to apologize. Just as he was halfway down, a lazy voice came from outside the hall.
"Master Ge, who are you complaining about again?"
When Lord Ge heard this voice, his body trembled, and the other court officials had the same reaction.
Xiao Yanci strode in.
There was fine stubble on his chin, dark circles under his eyes, and his face was dry and chapped.
The corners of his robe were wrinkled, and there were many mud spots scattered on it. What was even more eye-catching was the snow that had fallen on his clothes. As soon as he entered the warm hall, the snowflakes melted, leaving behind a wet mark.
From head to toe, he was rough and wild, like a refugee.
Is he going there to provide disaster relief or to be a refugee?
"Your Majesty, I am late for the morning court session. Please forgive me."
Xiao Yanqing frowned and looked at Xiao Yanci, "Xiao Qi, how can you be so disrespectful in front of your father? You should at least change your clothes."
Emperor Defeng's words were interrupted and he frowned.
In the past, he thought that Xiaoliu was thorough and considerate, friendly and respectful to his brothers, and the most worry-free and sensible person, but these words made Emperor Defeng feel unhappy.
He doesn't feel sorry for his younger brother at all?
Xiao Yanci glanced at Xiao Yanqing with a half-smile, "Sixth Brother, you may not know this, but it snowed heavily last night. My brothers and I spent the entire night clearing snow. As soon as I finished my work there, I rushed back to the palace without stopping. I really didn't have time to change clothes or wash up. Unlike Sixth Brother, you have nothing to do every day, can sleep comfortably at night, and have a group of people to wait on you when you wake up in the morning. Sigh, I really envy you."
Xiao Yanqing: ...
Emperor Defeng looked at Xiao Yanci with admiration, "Xiao Qi has been so dedicated to the shelter, setting an example for everyone. He deserves a reward!"
Xiao Yanci immediately bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Father."
Xiao Yanqing: ...
His back teeth were almost broken.
Since he has such a bad fate, it would be a waste to reward him with anything. Why would your father go to such lengths?
