Mad Genius: The Ace Crown Princess

Chapter 117
North of the city:

The north of the city is located in the northernmost part of the Qianyuan Dynasty. This place is extremely poor. There are disaster victims everywhere who snatch the corpses of the dead and come here to eat secretly. Even if they want to find some bark and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, there is no way to find them. Some have died without bark, and the dry weather has not rained for a long time, and even the crops and trees cannot survive.

When some disaster relief silver was sent here, it had been exploited layer by layer above, and there was very little left. The local officials withheld the only little silver and made none of the disaster relief silver go to the victims. Complaints abounded. The name of the village has been unable to take care of many, even eating dead bodies is just to survive. When Qianyuan Lingyi and the others came here, they saw such a horrible scene, it was simply unimaginable.

The village names saw such a large group of people coming towards their township, and they all dared not go forward, because they were severely punished and some were even executed for robbing food before, even if there was a large group of people, they did not dare to go forward, some The child in the house is so hungry that only skin and bones are left, and he has no human form at all.

The brigade stopped in front of the crowd, and after Qian Yuan Lingyi ordered to go down, he saw many officers and soldiers starting to scatter some food, and everyone rushed towards the food one after another.

The woman hugged the starving child in the crowd and was squeezed back and forth in the crowd, almost being trampled to the ground, and her life was in danger. Fortunately, she was squeezed against the side of the wall. Fortunately, nothing happened. Qian Yuan Lingyi, who was riding a horse, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Folks, don't worry too much. Everyone has it. This is the food ordered by the imperial court. Our crown prince also personally delivered the food to the folks. Everyone go back and get their own pots and pans that can hold the food. They all came to the gate of the yamen one after another, and our prince will distribute food there." The guards around Qianyuan Lingyi announced loudly, because there are too many people in the crowd, so as not to hurt innocent people, we still need to make proper arrangements, otherwise they will definitely be regarded as officers casualties.

"The prince has already arranged everything properly, but on the way to the county office, he found that there are bullies oppressing the good people, and the gate of the county office is also empty, as if the county office has been emptied." The guard beside Qian Yuan Lingyi was close Said.

"Go and send people to investigate the facts, those officials must have fled together." Qian Yuan Lingyi said coldly, but what he saw in his eyes were hungry people and corpses everywhere, the disaster here is worse than imagined Seriously, the reports of those officials' letters turned out to be untrue, and it was simply too rampant to deceive the emperor, and the fact that Emperor Shan Gao was far away really proved it.

Located in the luxurious restaurant in the north of the city, it is the Fourth Prince Qianyuan Lingyun who is waiting for many officials to come again. At this moment, various dishes have been placed in the restaurant. They are all on call to perform at any time.

Compared with Qian Yuan Lingyi's secret investigation, those officials had already found out that the person who arrived in the disaster area first was the Fourth Prince Qian Yuan Lingyun, so they had already made sufficient preparations. The town that Qian Yuan Lingyi went to was the hardest hit area. As for the Fourth Prince, Qian Yuan Lingyun, who was walking on the main road, he naturally received the news, so he waited here early.

"I have been waiting for a long time, see the Fourth Prince." All the officials saw the carriage of the brigade arrived, and they all stepped forward to salute. The person sitting in the carriage at this moment is the Fourth Prince Qian Yuan Lingyun.

"It's all free, and you adults are just being polite." Qian Yuan Lingyun got off the carriage and walked to the outside of the restaurant and said.

At this moment, the leading officials smiled and sent all the gifts they had prepared to Qian Yuan Lingyun's side one after another, and said with a smile: "Fourth Prince, come quickly to hear that you are good at dancing swords, so I prepared a sword made of high-quality black iron. Give it to you, the prince, and ask the prince to accept it?!"

"You're really polite, but this king is not here for fun, but to visit and appease the victims on behalf of the Holy Lord. You don't need to be too polite, please take me to the disaster area, and the money will be distributed." Qian Yuan Ling Yun put away his smile and said, the few swords in front of him at this moment are not capable of impressing Qian Yuan Lingyun, the most important thing is that this time is under the order of Huang Ama, he naturally knows how powerful they are, if they are discovered, then the crown prince When will it be his turn?

"My lord is really too modest. The journey was far away, and my lord came here after a long journey. Naturally, I want to entertain you well, and it can be regarded as a welcome for my lord." The officials came forward with a smile and said, At this moment, Qian Yuan Lingyun naturally did not refuse because of the hospitality, so he followed them to the restaurant.

"My lord heard that the imperial city is peaceful and peaceful recently, and I really admire the outstanding achievements of the fourth lord. The candidate for the crown prince today must be the fourth lord. The ministers have also heard that the fourth lord and the prince came to rescue the disaster this time. The candidate for the crown prince is because you are so sympathetic to the fourth prince, and the ministers really admire him, and will also assist the fourth prince in the disaster relief." The leading official said close to Qian Yuanlingyun's side.

"Did you know that people's heads will fall to the ground if this word is spread?" Qian Yuan Lingyun looked at the leading official in front of him with a gloomy face and said.At this moment, the leading official immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

"My lord, please forgive me. It's not intentional. It's just that I can't see that the fourth lord is so talented but he was named a lord instead of the current prince." The leader of the official said with his head down. He drank the wine in the glass, and smiled instantly on his gloomy face.

"My lord is really too embarrassed to scare you. Now is not the time to talk about these things. Since the adults have already prepared good wine and food, let's all eat and drink." Qian Yuan Lingyun Holding up the wine glass with a smile, everyone broke into a sweat and then laughed heartily. The restaurant was full of joy and laughter, but they didn't know that the villagers who were driven out of the hardest-hit areas were all eating corroded corpses.

Imperial City:

Yin Lingyue received the letter from Wentian, and now the Palace of Prince Yun has temporarily calmed down, but what Yin Lingyue has to do now is to go to the north of the city, because why she went in her previous life is still unforgettable, and the victims almost ran into her when they protested against her. Qianyuan Lingyun, but because of Yin Lingyue's prior arrangements, passed the customs smoothly, and was entrusted by the emperor with a heavy responsibility as the crown prince. But this time, of course, the real prince should be enthroned smoothly. This is Yin Lingyue's current situation. I thought, I must go and see with my own eyes how this Qianyuan Lingyun stepped down, and why was the village name blocked the door and surrounded him?

"Miss, what are you going to do?" Xiaoyun on the side looked at Yin Lingyue who was tidying up and asked anxiously.

"Xiaoyun packed some men's luggage and prepared some silver taels. We are going to the north of the city." Yin Lingyue ordered while packing the bottles and cans. It should be no accident that they will pass through the black pine forest before dark. There are a lot of thieves and bandits, if there is not enough medicine to deal with them, it may be difficult to pass through the black pine forest.

"Where are we going, Miss? The people in Prince Yun's Mansion will definitely be suspicious. We will definitely not be able to leave after such a big commotion." Xiaoyun said nervously. She really didn't know what her lady was thinking. Originally said Well, in Prince Yun’s mansion, now the whole Prince Yun’s mansion is respectful to her, even the concubines are also very respectful to her, secretly sending many gifts and precious treasures here, even the second young lady dare not It took half a step more than the moment to raise the baby in her room.

"What are you thinking about? Pack up quickly and leave in half an hour." Yin Lingyue looked at the dazed Xiaoyun and said, the arrangements have been made at the moment, and the man in the mirror looks handsome, but going in this way is bound to attract people Trouble, I really need to dress up a bit, put on a rough beard so that it doesn't look so handsome and burly.Xiaoyun was dumbfounded.

Wentian prepared everything according to the agreed time. On the one hand, he arranged for people to set fire in the kitchen, and on the other hand, he also arranged for people to meet at the back door. He came to the Yunyu Hall, played the flute softly, and then saw Yin Lingyue, dressed in men's clothes, came to the garden.

"Wentian, you really came on time. I got everything ready, and I also left the letter. You just need to help me make sure that no one comes to my room, and you don't have to worry about other things." Yin Yin Lingyue looked at the expressionless Wentian and said.

"I have arranged for other people to pay attention. I want to walk with you. This time I will never make the same mistake as last time." Wentian looked at Yin Lingyue stubbornly and said, no matter how much Yin Lingyue opposed him, he would not give up. It was Qian Yuan Lingyi's order that even if he died, he would still hug her well.

"Well, you are not allowed to intervene along the way, and you can only listen to me alone. Do what you are told." Yin Lingyue pointed at Wentian and said, seeing Wentian's upright appearance, really wanted to open him. head to see what it is made of.

Wentian's face turned slightly red when Yin Lingyue watched him so closely, and since that day, he no longer put on a mask in front of Yin Lingyue, and faced Yin Lingyue with the most authentic face.

"Why does your face seem to be red?" Yin Lingyue looked at Wentian in a daze and said, pointing to his slightly flushed cheeks, staring at him fiercely.

"It's all right, it's just that the weather is sultry and hot recently, I'm going to prepare that you will leave through the back door if there is a fire." After Wentian finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared like a gust of wind.

Soon the time of half a stick of incense passed, the kitchen caught fire and the fire had spread a lot, and it took advantage of the trend to attack the Yunyu Palace. The entire Yunwang Mansion was engulfed by the fire, but it was rescued in time and the fire did not continue to spread, so it was safe and sound.

After everyone checked, they found that Yin Lingyue of Yunyu Palace and her maid Xiaoyun were missing. At this moment, only two corpses were found in the dilapidated Yunyu Pavilion, and nothing else was found.
