Since the events of that day, the relationship between the two seems to have returned to the moment when they first met, and there is a certain sense of distance.

This made Xiao Sui feel a little uncomfortable, but she was the one who suffered after all.

Regarding this matter, Qin Yu didn't know if it was for embarrassment or what, so he chose to remain silent. Then in this case, Xiao Xuan naturally couldn't say it first.

On the way back, the two no longer rode together.

Xiao Xuan's foot strength was not good, and when he was halfway through, his leg was a little sore, swollen and painful, and he had to get on the horse to rest.

Qin Yu led the horse and walked on the mountain path.

Hurry during the day, and rest by fire at night.

It lasted for six or seven days, and finally came to Youlan County.

However, the situation here is not much better than that of Changle County, most of the people have chosen to leave their hometowns, and only a small number of people still live here.

Fortunately, the dock was not paralyzed, and cargo ships were often passing by.

After finding a merchant ship heading to Liyang, the two also successfully boarded the boat and went up the river towards Liyang.

More than ten days of waterway passed in a blink of an eye.

When Qin Yu sent Xiao Sui to the palace gate, the guards on duty immediately recognized the eldest princess and hurriedly sent someone to welcome her back to the palace.

Seeing Xiao Xuan, who was surrounded and entered the palace, Qin Yu turned around and left.

But before he could take two steps, he heard the sound of armor colliding behind him, and then he saw more than a dozen guards with knives surrounding him.

The sound of a bang suddenly sounded, and more than a dozen sword blades with fierce cold light instantly landed on Qin Yu's neck.

Before Qin Yu could figure out the situation, he saw a general in armor walking over, and after glancing at him with a sharp gaze, he said in a deep voice: "Bring him in." ”

Without any hesitation, more than a dozen guards grabbed Qin Yu's arm and pushed him into the palace.

Qin Yu didn't dare to resist, so he could only follow them obediently.

As soon as I walked into the main hall, I saw Xiao Xuan kneeling on the ground at a glance, and on the platform facing the gate, Xiao Yi sat on it with a beautiful young woman in palace clothes.

Qin Yu looked at the two of them with a warm and angry look on their faces, and their expressions were very serious. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Xiao Xuan secretly, and he roughly understood what was going on.

So, without thinking about it, he took two steps forward and knelt on the ground to confess.

"Holy one, the minister is guilty."

Xiao Yi was happy in his heart, looked at Qin Yu, and said lightly:

"Qin Yu, what do you mean by this. I heard from Qiu'er that the zombies in Changle County have been wiped out by you, which is a great achievement, not only are you not guilty, but I will also reward you. ”

"Holy Lord, what the minister said is about the eldest princess." Qin Yu lowered his head and replied.

"How can I blame you for this, as the eldest princess, she actually left the palace without permission and lost the face of the royal family. I will not tolerate this matter,"

Speaking of the back, Xiao Yi was also furious, obviously angry by this incident.

Xiao Xuan lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

As for her biological mother, Empress Zhang, when she saw Xiao Yi having such a big temper, she couldn't help but pull his sleeve under the table and let him control it.

Don't get angry and say something you don't dare to say, and you won't be able to get off the stage at that time.

Xiao Yi also noticed that his emotions were not quite right, and eased up a little.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yi continued to speak:

"I said before that when the matter is over, I will let the two of you get married. Now that such a thing has happened, then it must not wait until that time.

Qin Yu, the house I gave you has been renovated, and after you go back today, write a letter home and let your parents come to Liyang. I will let the people of the Ministry of Rites count a good life, and you will get married as soon as possible. ”

Regarding the day of marriage, Qin Yu didn't have anything. On the contrary, it was Xiao Yi's first sentence that made him care more.

"Holy Lord, it's been two months since the matter of Tongyou, and it hasn't been resolved?"

Xiao Yi shook his head slowly, glanced at the queen and Xiao Xuan, and motioned for them to leave the hall. When only he and Qin Yu were left, his face was sad.

"Things are more troublesome than expected. The aftershocks that followed not only made the situation worse. Several surrounding state capitals were also affected, with numerous casualties. ”

"That.... What's going on now? ”

"It's under control, but plagues are beginning to appear in the major disaster areas,"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi's voice was also a little lower.

Several state capitals were implicated, covering almost one-fifth of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the number of casualties directly or indirectly caused was in the hundreds of thousands.

If it weren't for the good weather in the past few years, the treasury would be full and the granary would be rich. Otherwise, it would not be possible to completely appease the sudden release of such a large amount of supplies to help so many victims.

Qin Yu frowned and didn't speak again.

This is within the scope of state affairs, and it is not his turn to dictate. It's just that when he heard these words, Qin Yu's heart didn't know why, and he always felt like he was going up and down.

After learning the knowledge of astrology and other divination, Qin Yu was very serious about this feeling of stuffiness, and once this kind of problem appeared, he would have some understanding.

It can be concluded that after this plague is over, there must be something else to happen, and it is definitely not a trivial matter.

Qin Yu originally wanted to remind Xiao Yi, but this kind of just speculation seemed a little unreasonable. So after thinking about it again, I still didn't choose to speak.

After the two talked a few more words, Qin Yu said goodbye and left.

When he returned to the Egret Academy, Qin Yu found Xia Zhixu as soon as possible and agreed to start removing the cold poison the next day.

And just when Qin Yu had just returned to the room, ready to rest. I don't know where Yang Chen knew the news of his return, so he immediately came to the door to ask to see him.

Qin Yu, who was originally ready to sleep well, did not hesitate too much when he got the news, and immediately got up and went out.

The main purpose of his coming here should be to ask about the Closed Gate Village.

Now that I know the news after I came back, I must want to understand how things are handled. Now that the zombies have been solved, Qin Yu also wanted to tell him earlier, so that the people could go back and reclaim the abandoned fields.

Yang Chen left with joy, while Qin Yu was even more tired and couldn't wait to go back to the room for a good night's sleep.

It's just that as soon as I returned to the room, I suddenly remembered what Xiao Yi said in the main hall. As long as you get up again and come to the desk to write a letter, let the family come to Liyang.

After writing the letter, Qin Yu asked Xue Wan to send the letter out. He himself went back to his room, closed the door, and fell straight onto the bed, and before even a few seconds later, the snoring sounded.
