C133 Yue cheng banquet 1

"I accept Ninth Prince's good intentions. However, Yue City is quite far from Yu City. "

Zuo Linyi frowned slightly. Ever since he met Song Qingyu, Zuo Linyi had been rejected by her. "She is indeed like a thorn, making others unable to approach her." Song Qingyu, why do you always keep people at a distance like this? "

As Zuo Linyi spoke, he felt a mouthful of blood from his throat, and blood began to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Song Qingyu anxiously pressed down on his pulse and scolded him with a frown, "It's just for your sake. Yue City is too far away, how can you have the time to come if you succeed in the future. Why can't you resist refusing? Just a small matter like this made him so angry. Are you feeling bad about your body? "

"So you're thinking for this prince?" Zuo Linyi held her hand.

Song Qingyu paused for a moment before replying hesitantly, "I … Indeed... Ninth Prince, you are a high and mighty prince, and I am just a commoner. How can we trouble the Ninth Prince with the matter of paying respects? "

The two of them looked at each other. It was both familiar and estranged.

Nannan hurriedly stepped forward and separated the two. The corner of Mu Quan's eyes twitched. The Song Family's young miss was truly amazing. With just a few words, she could make her master bleed. While he was thinking, Nannan was already in the middle, forcing out a smile.

"Ninth Prince, Miss, it's getting late. We should leave."

Song Qingyu came back to his senses and nodded. He looked at Zuo Linyi, but did not say anything. Finally, the group left the mountain with their own thoughts.

Song Qing and Yu were about to get on the carriage when Nannan stopped them.

"Miss, this is inappropriate."

Song Qing Yu looked at her and understood what she meant, "Ninth Prince and I are just friends, don't misunderstand. And don't remind me about King Yu. You should be well aware that the marriage between me and King Yu has always been a stopgap. "

"But King Yu …"

When Nannan wanted to persuade him again.

Song Qingyu had already boarded the carriage. In his mind, he suddenly thought of his marriage to King Yu. At this point, Song Qingyu could not help but feel upset. Even if everything went according to plan, how would the marriage escape in the future?

If he rejected the marriage again, His Majesty wouldn't be in a good mood to forgive her again. Unless... Let His Majesty think this marriage inappropriate.

Song Qingyu's gaze turned slightly as he bit his lower lip and thought deeply for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at Zuo Linyi. "Are you feeling better?"

Zuo Linyi rubbed his head and closed his eyes slightly. "I was too careless that day. I never thought that the poison would be this serious."

"Go back and find an inn to stay at first. Drink some medicine and rest well for the night." I saw those Prefectural Commanders in the morning, and from their expressions, there seems to be something wrong. This outbreak must not have been accidental. I've heard that local officials embezzled food for disaster relief and distributed sand mixed with grain. The people eat the sky, and natural and man-made disasters fall upon the people. If the imperial government were to act in such a manner, how could it not cause a riot? "

Zuo Linyi opened his eyes, "I didn't expect you to know this much. Song Qingyu, tell me, what other skills do you have to hide? This prince does not know."

Song Qingyu paused for a moment and quickly changed the topic, "It is my speculation. After all, the Yue City area had always been a fertile land, so it was strange for refugees to appear here. Ninth Prince, do you have any specific plans for coming to provide relief? "

Zuo Linyi raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you ask this prince what the original group of people were doing here?"

Song Qingyu had originally thought that they were here to assassinate Zuo Linyi, but after hearing Zuo Linyi mention it, he thought of the matter of relief. "They want to stop you from going to Yue City?"

To dare to attack Zuo Linyi, and also embezzlement of food for disaster relief. These people were definitely going to rebel! Apart from the King Dingbei who wielded military power, Song Qingyu could not think of a second person who dared to act in such a manner.

It wasn't hard for anyone with a discerning eye to speculate. The reason the emperor arranged a relief for Zuo Linyi this opening year was to take advantage of this opportunity to give him a chance to become the emperor. However, he did not want to be a thorn in the side for King Dingbei. This time, the location of the relief operation had touched upon the location of his subordinates.

They would not dare to let Zuo Linyi know that they were corrupt, wantonly conspiring against him.

If King Dingbei dared to rebel, the first person he would kill would be Zuo Linyi!

As Song Qingyu thought this, he held his breath.

Zuo Linyi smiled gently and comforted, "You came for this prince. Don't worry, this prince will not implicate you."

Song Qing Yu shook his head and glared at Zuo Linyi who didn't take it seriously, "Why would I be worried about whether it would affect me or not? I just think you're too dangerous right now. "If you go to Yue Cheng Prefect's yamen, wouldn't that be like sending a sheep into a tiger's den?"

"I already have a plan." Zuo Linyi narrowed his eyes slightly. "Isn't there a saying, 'one doesn't turn against the enemy'?"

Song Qingyu looked at him gently, unable to fathom his intentions.

When they arrived at an inn, they stopped. After staying the entire night, early the next morning, someone knocked on Song Qingyu's door.

Nannan opened the door to see a middle-aged man wearing a thick, dark cotton jacket with his waist hooked. Nannan looked at him weirdly and asked vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

"May I ask if Young Master Li lives in this room?"

Young Master Li?

"I don't know him." Nannan said, closing the door with a bang.

The person outside stood for a while in confusion.

Seeing that the person had left, Nannan hurried over to find Song Qingyu, who then tidied up his clothes.

"Miss, a strange person came just now to look for Young Master Li? Say, why did you knock on the door so early in the morning to look for Young Master Li? Is it someone the Shen family sent to inquire after us? He saw me just now. "

"Don't worry. There are people around here. The people of the Shen Clan would not be so daring. And we're wearing men's clothes, so they might not recognize us. "

Men's clothing? Young Master Li? Song Qing and Yu thought for a while, "They should be people from the government office." I talked to the Ninth Prince yesterday, and my real name is Li Qing. I'm a advisor to him. "

As Song Qing Yu spoke, there was another knock on the door.

The man came back the same way. He was sure it was this house. He thought for a while and decided to keep watch outside.

"Open the door."

Nannan replied vexedly as she hurriedly opened the door and asked: "Are you looking for Young Noble Li Qing?"

That person turned around with a flattering smile and bowed, "Yes, yes, it's Young Master Li Qing. I am Yue He, Master Elder of the Prefect of Yue City. In the morning, the Ninth Prince went to the north gate of Yue City to inspect the situation of the victims. I have specially arranged for this lowly one to come and invite Young Master Li to the prefectural yamen. "

Nannan looked at him suspiciously. To her knowledge, Master was the Eldest in Yue City and Grand Master was the second highest ranked person in Yue City. He was actually the Grand Master, why would he lower himself to a mere slave like her?

Song Qingyu was in his room, and upon hearing his words, he walked out.

"The ninth prince went to inspect?" Song Qingyu was slightly baffled. Zuo Linyi did not tell her about this yesterday. Besides, he was still sick, so he left early in the morning. It was as if he wanted to avoid her.

Even yesterday morning. He was welcomed back early in the morning.

What was he planning?

Song Qingyu said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, prepare the carriage."

"Yes." The palanquin is already waiting outside. " Yue He respectfully replied and made a path for Song Qingyu, "Young Master Li, please."

"You don't have to be so polite."

Yue He quickly shook his head, "I dare not, I dare not. Young Master Li is a popular person by the Ninth Prince's side. I am just a small errand boy at the Prefect's yamen."

Song Qingyu did not decline. A sedan came to receive him, and Song Qingyu glanced at it. There were many people from the yamen standing nearby. And the people of Zuo Linyi changed into plain clothes and wandered among the people.

Yue He lifted up the curtain, afraid that he would neglect Song Qingyu.
