After rebirth, the concubine counterattacked and became a royal concubine

Even if it was just for that person, she couldn't stand idly by.

"Okay, master, be careful. Just stay outside and do some chores. If you feel any discomfort, send someone to notify Lonicera immediately."

Lonicera finally relented and agreed to Bai Zhaoyi staying on the outskirts of this area, and walked inwards towards Bai Zhaoyi's body with a little worry.

"Sanxiang, I'm sorry that you have to stay here with me." Bai Zhaoyi turned around and said softly.

Sandalwood quickly shook her head and stood beside Bai Zhaoyi with firm eyes, a smile on her face:

"The young lady is not afraid, and the slave is certainly not afraid either. Besides, our famous miracle doctor Rendong is here. I believe that even if the slave steps into the gate of hell, she will be able to pull her back."

Sandalwood quickly joked to ease the tense atmosphere. She believed that with Miss and Lonicera here, Yizhou would be able to survive this crisis.

In the following days, Bai Zhaoyi and other people who supported Yizhou were busy day and night, trying their best to suppress the spread of the plague by burning incense.

At this time, Xiao Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the atmosphere in the room fell into unprecedented tension.

"Assholes! What do you do for food? 40 tons of disaster food can be emptied overnight without anyone noticing! What on earth do I have to support you guys!"

Xiao Yan's red eyes kept roaring at the guards who were kneeling on the floor in the room.

On the second day of their marriage, Xiao Yan and Bai Lishi set out early in the morning to pursue Yizhou without stopping at all.

When they caught up with the team transporting disaster food, they learned that someone had stolen 40 tons of food and grass last night.

Xiao Yan's vision suddenly went dark, and the red glow on his face that had been so high these days disappeared in an instant. He simply couldn't believe the news he heard.

A total of 40 yuan of disaster food was evacuated overnight!

Xiao Yan wanted to kill all those who were kneeling on the ground. It was known throughout the city that he would escort grain and grass to Yizhou for disaster relief. If this was done, his reputation among the people would definitely rise to the next level.

Who else can compete with him for the crown prince position at that time?

But all of this came to nothing last night. How could he make up for such a big hole? If the father knew that he had lost the food and grass to help the victims, he didn't know how angry he would be.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He clenched his fists tightly and glared at Mo Sheng, who was kneeling at the front.

"Your Highness, the most urgent task at this time is to solve the problem of food and grass. The Lord of Jing'an County in Yizhou has sent people to urge us many times. I am afraid that Yizhou can no longer wait."

Mo Sheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said to the furious Xiao Yan.

He didn't know why he slept so deeply last night and didn't even notice any movement. Mo Sheng knew that he had committed a huge disaster this time and he might not be able to escape the punishment of the third prince.

But it was obvious that the other party had made sufficient preparations to transport all the disaster food away overnight without leaving any trace, so that they could not detect any trace. It would be difficult to retrieve the food and grass.

The most urgent task now is to get another 40 dans of grain and grass to fill this shortfall, and maybe hide it from the enemy.

Xiao Yan originally raised [-] dans of grain and grass in the capital, hoping to show off in front of Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing would be delighted when he found out and would reward Xiao Yan.

But I didn't expect that an additional [-] dan would be needed to fill this loophole at this time. I really shot myself in the foot.

"What do you think we should do to keep people unaware? It's obviously impossible to go to the surrounding cities to raise food and grass. Is it possible that we have to spend our own money to buy another 40 tons of food and grass? It's not like you didn't know that the last time you left the Villa …”

Xiao Yan suddenly paused, his eyes falling on the unfamiliar faces behind Mo Sheng. These things are not something that can be known casually.

He couldn't sleep for a whole month after what happened at the Villa last time. Ninety percent of his net worth was hidden there!

Xiao Yan still feels pain when he thinks about it. His people have found various evidences that show that the batch of silver lost in the villa recently is inextricably linked to the eldest prince Xiao Teng.

Xiao Yan has caused a lot of trouble for Xiao Teng overtly and covertly these days, but he still can't get over it.

Xiao Teng has been really unlucky in the past two months. First, the officials installed by the government were reported, and then the business he ran was secretly squeezed out.

Even on the way home from the next morning, I would accidentally step on a splash of dog poop!

Xiao Teng's life can be described as a mute eating Coptis chinensis and having difficulty describing it. Months of losses in business forced Xiao Teng to use his brains on Yizhou.

If he doesn't find a way to get some money, I'm afraid he will become the poorest among the five princes.

Mo Sheng naturally understood Xiao Yan's unspoken words.

He always felt that someone had been targeting His Highness recently, but there was no conclusive evidence to speak out rashly.

"Your Highness, I have heard that there is one of the largest grain merchants in Xuzhou, which is nearest to us. Maybe we can go to Xuzhou and try to make up for the gap in Yizhou's disaster food. As for the silver, Your Highness can first embezzle it from Mr. Zhang. Some of it can be made up for in the future, and getting through the immediate crisis first is the most important thing.”

The largest grain merchant in Xuzhou was apparently just a trading company opened by a businessman from the north, but in fact it was secretly an industry under Lin Jiuqing's name.

Lin Jiuqing and Bai Zhaoyi had already settled all this and were waiting for Xiao Yan to take the bait again.

Hitting the snake seven inches, Bai Zhaoyi completely pinched Xiao Yan in his hands this time.

After the incident at Buri Villa, Xiao Yan didn't have much cash available. Even if he sold iron, he still couldn't pay for 40 tons of grain and grass at once.

Unless... Xiao Yan secretly uses his money.

Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Revenue is Xiao Yan's man. As long as he opens his mouth, Mr. Zhang has no reason to refuse him. The charge of embezzling public funds is enough to make him drink.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and felt that this method was currently the most reliable. He nodded and said in a deep voice:

"The situation is urgent. Mo Sheng, please follow me to Xuzhou immediately. The others continue to move towards Yizhou and must not be discovered anything strange. They must hold on until we come back with food and grass."

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, secretly hating the food thief. If he knew who had set him up such a big obstacle, he would definitely not let him go!

Xiao Yan hurriedly walked outside with Mo Sheng, rode a horse and finally arrived outside Xuzhou City in the afternoon.

"Master, the fish is here."

Lin Jiuqing received the news the moment the third prince appeared outside the city, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upward.
