Shi Yuqi also guessed that this topic was not something that could be used to chat, so he didn't continue, opened his purse, took out the spice bottle, and carefully sprinkled it on the meat.

Seeing this, Qingzhu also vaguely guessed something. That purse should be very important, or the original owner of the purse is very important, so important that it has become a taboo in Bai Yu's heart, otherwise Bai Yu would not avoid talking about it.

For a moment, silence spread with the smell of meat.

By the time they returned to the post station, Long Yiheng had already started working in the temporary study of the post station.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the princess of the protector has just returned." The servant beside the prince bowed respectfully, and his gray robe was not like the servile face of others, but he looked very indifferent.

"Yo ho, you're well-informed." Shi Yuqi walked in from the outside and couldn't help but sneer, "I just entered the door, you knew I was coming?" Oh, there are many capable people around the prince's brother, which really makes Jiayi envious. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is angry, and the servant doesn't dare." The waiter turned around expressionlessly, even as he bent to the others, with a hint of inviolable arrogance. This hint of arrogance made Shi Yuqi couldn't help but look sideways, but he was shocked by the clean breath around the servant. While being surprised by the clarity and clarity of the servant, Shi Yuqi couldn't help but be impressed by this newcomer.

Shi Yuqi raised her eyebrows, she didn't remember that Long Yiheng had this person by her side. This attitude is not like a minion, but a power lord who has been in a high position for a long time.

"New here? So arrogant? Shi Yuqi looked at the waiter, and raised his eyebrows with disdain, "He looks like he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he can be favored by the prince's brother, and he is a little proud to think about it." ”

The waiter didn't argue, pretending not to feel Shi Yuqi's focused gaze at that moment, but just stood with his eyes down respectfully, and said, "The waiter doesn't dare." ”

"Don't you dare, or don't want to." Shi Yuqi looked for a place to sit on her own, and she didn't mind if someone served her tea.

Long Yiheng swallowed back the words he was about to speak, and watched Shi Yuqi play tricks for a long time. The character of the servant is really the kind of Taishan who collapses in front and does not change his color. Even if you are cruel to the time when you say it, you may not be at a loss.

"The waiter doesn't dare, and I don't want to." The waiter didn't feel flustered because of Shi Yuqi's troubles, he lowered his head with his eyes and nose, and didn't look at Shi Yuqi.

Shi Yuqi sneered, not to play this boring argument game with him, "You newcomer, it's really boring." Has the prince's brother thought of the southern tour route? This battle ended with Shi Yuqi being lazy to withdraw his troops.

Long Yiheng also accepted the joke, "I was going to leave for Yangzhou in three days, but there was an urgent report before, Xizhou was flooded, and the grain was sold out. So we're going to leave for Xizhou tomorrow. ”

"Flooding?" Shi Yuqi was a little incredulous, "Xizhou is near the river, and the embankment has always been built indestructible, how can it be flooded?" Besides, Xizhou is one of the 'granaries of the world', how can the grain run out? ”

Long Yiheng was also silent, this kind of thing has nothing to do with local officials.

And every time the debriefing documents are reported, almost all of them sing praises for themselves, or they reach out to the treasury to ask for money. There was really something wrong, and one by one I was afraid to avoid it. Not to mention taking the initiative to take responsibility, he didn't even dare to fold it, for fear that the city gate would catch fire and affect the pond fish, and one accidentally took off his official hat.

"I've already handed over the fold, and when my father's decree comes down, we'll start moving. In any case, let's go and see the situation first, and the top priority is the flood. Long Yiheng couldn't answer Shi Yuqi's question. He was equally angry, equally worried about the victims, and wanted to fly over immediately to settle the matter, but the emperor did not issue an edict, and he could not easily intervene.

Moreover, under his father's rule, there were local officials who acted in disobedience, and even if he had ten thousand comments as a son, he could not say it.

"So far, does the royal brother think that it is still useful to just control the water? The damage to the embankment is small, we can rebuild, and the people's hearts are wrecked! "When the old emperor's decree comes down, the daylilies are cold, and you still have a fart!

Shi Yuqi almost wanted to knock on Long Yiheng's brain, why didn't he go to disaster relief and punish corrupt officials at this time, so as to win the hearts of the people, but instead waited for the holy decree here to control the water, and the water control was not something he could complete alone.

Long Yiheng was indifferent, Shi Yuqi looked at Long Yiheng in a deep voice, and said: "Even if you don't want the safety of the people, the people also need a person with a noble enough status to give them an explanation." Brother Prince, you are not the only noble person in Xizhou, there are also vassal kings in Xizhou. At this time, whoever can get the hearts of the people in Xizhou will have an additional granary and a better chance of winning in the future. ”

Long Yiheng didn't speak, it wasn't that he didn't know this truth, it was precisely because he knew that he didn't want to behave too aggressively and displease the old emperor.

Officials everywhere are directly appointed and dismissed by the old emperor, and his sensitive position as the crown prince will arouse the suspicion of the old emperor if he is not careful. Not to mention the private dismissal of officials appointed and dismissed by the emperor.

Even if he was from the perspective of justice, the old emperor would feel that he was overstepping.

Shi Yuqi looked at Long Yiheng's indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Long Yiheng! That's the life of the entire people of Xizhou! What the hell are you thinking! The Long Yiheng I know is not so timid! ”

"Xiaoxiao, do you know what my father will think if I do it?"

Shi Yuqi was dumbfounded, yes, what would the old emperor think......

The old emperor would even be suspicious of himself, thinking that he would be bewitched by others, how could he trust his son? Even if this son is his chosen heir.

Or maybe not, maybe Long Yiheng was just a shield chosen by the old emperor.

"Why do you have to be recalled?" Shi Yuqi sneered, "There are many ways to make them confess." Just see if they can survive until they return to Beijing, and beg the old emperor to spare their lives. Shi Yuqi is indifferent to indifferent, but she can't be cold-blooded, and she doesn't need to hibernate.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xizhou, to say the least, if they don't ask and don't give them an explanation, the riot of the victims alone will be enough for the imperial court to bear.

Besides, Shi Yuqi couldn't do it, ignoring hundreds of thousands of lives.

Not to mention that the country of China is the country that her father guarded with his life, and the people of China are the people that her father used his life to protect, even if she is cold-blooded, she will not ignore it.

"Tiny, don't be impulsive." Long Yiheng frowned, this unplanned action made him very displeased.

Shi Yuqi didn't consider the consequences of success or failure at all, whether it was within the scope of what she could bear.

"I don't have the impulse, my father won't kill me." As long as she has a life, she can turn the tables. And the old emperor will definitely not take her life.

"There are no absolutes." Long Yiheng put down his pen, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, you should be tired too, go back." ”

Long Yiheng didn't plan to ask Shi Yuqi about his itinerary, and he knew that Shi Yuqi would not tell him, so he simply let Shi Yuqi leave by himself.

"Long Yiheng! Do you really want to put hundreds of thousands of lives on the line? Long Yiheng didn't stop a step, as if the person who shouted at Shi Yuqi was not him.

Shi Yuqi's eyes were heavy, looking at the back of Long Yiheng walking towards the inside, and then at the waiter who was cleaning up the desk, and turned around and left without saying a word.

At night, Shi Yuqi closed his eyes and immersed himself in a wooden barrel, the warm water lapping on his skin and quickly receding.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Princess, get up, the water should be cold." Qingzhu knocked on the door, stood at the door and did not come in.

Shi Yuqi came back to his senses, gathered his thoughts, and found that the water was already a little cold.

"Hmm." Shi Yuqi got up, wrapped the clothes in the tray one by one, and after making sure that they were dressed, he opened the door with his wet hair loose, walked to the dresser and sat down.

Qingzhu walked into the room and naturally took a dry handkerchief and wiped Shi Yuqi's hair.

"Why does the princess bother so much to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Qingzhu knew Shi Yuqi's temperament, and he also knew that Shi Yuqi was the emperor's secret knife, so he was puzzled that Shi Yuqi took so much trouble to help Long Yiheng.

"Only by helping Long Yiheng can we have a way to live." Shi Yuqi opened his eyes, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and sighed faintly, his face full of tiredness.

Qingzhu was puzzled, and Shi Yuqi didn't explain. She knew that Qingzhu would figure it out for herself sooner or later.

"However, now, whether I help Long Yiheng or not is no different from me." This tattered body was almost destroyed in one fell swoop, so laborious, firstly, it was to show the old emperor, and secondly, it was really unbearable for hundreds of thousands of people to die.

Qingzhu stopped the movement in his hand and said: "There are no absolutes in everything, as long as we don't give up, there will definitely be hope." "Even if it's cold poison, it's not incomprehensible. As long as there is time, everything will definitely have a way out. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there's no time.

"Maybe. The Pure Yang Technique is of no use to me. The old emperor's Yiyang grass is used too much, and I am afraid that it will be hopeless. Shi Yuqi smiled bitterly, she didn't even know how long she could last. Jun Yihao said that the time is short, and it is not groundless. It's just that she owes Gong Chen, and I'm afraid she won't be able to pay it off in this life.

"Phew! Don't say such stupid things, princess! Mr. Xuanjizi values you so much, he will definitely not let you have an accident! What's more, there is also Gong Shizi! Qingzhu's heart was sour, but he didn't dare to show it, which made Shi Yuqi sad.

I don't know what I thought, Shi Yuqi smiled, "Okay, you go and rest, I'll do the rest by myself." Shi Yuqi took the semi-wet handkerchief in Qingzhu's hand and wiped his hair carelessly.

Qingzhu looked at Shi Yuqi, and finally went out uneasily.

Shi Yuqi's current mentality is very bad, he is completely on the verge of death, he doesn't care, and he has no scruples.

Isn't there anything that makes her linger?

In fact, if you really want to say that there is anything worth nostalgia for, it is probably really only Gong Chen's unfinished love.
