Quick Travel: Redeeming the yandere villain Little Poor

Chapter 705 Coveting Father’s Concubine 16

There is never a best way in this world. All Xie Yuan has to do is to please the prince and do what he wants in his heart.

The prince acted in a high-profile manner and was determined to train him as his right-hand man, which meant that he needed to make some sensational and astonishing achievements in the talent-rich Shangjing in the shortest possible time.

After summer, Xie Yuan waited for the opportunity that the prince wanted.

The governor of Qingping County in Cangzhou observed the celestial phenomena and predicted that there would be a severe drought in Cangzhou after the Great Heat. He wrote to the emperor many times. However, due to the busy schedule of affairs in the court, the governor's memorials were repeatedly ignored by the emperor and not taken seriously.

Until Cangzhou really faced a severe drought, drought followed famine one after another. All nine counties and several counties in Cangzhou were not spared. The affected area was widespread, and it was almost an unprecedented natural disaster.

The imperial court had to pay attention to it. When discussing the disaster relief plan, the prince volunteered to go to Cangzhou to provide disaster relief, so as to appease the people as the crown prince. He also named Xie Yuan, the eldest son of the chief assistant, to go with him.

The prince personally went to Cangzhou to provide disaster relief, which not only showed the importance of the court to the disaster in Cangzhou, but also boosted morale and reassured people. If done well, the prince could also win the hearts of the people and be supported by the people of Cangzhou.

The emperor finally nodded, and the matter was settled.

Originally, this incident had nothing to do with Ji Yan, but the drought occurred in Cangzhou, and the original owner was from Cangzhou, coming from a remote mountain village in Cangzhou.

When Cangzhou encountered this disaster, although the original owner did not have a deep relationship with his relatives, he could not stand by and watch at the critical moment of life and death.

No matter what, Ji Yan always has to go back to her hometown in person to at least confirm whether her relatives are safe.

The chief minister didn't really want her to go to Cangzhou and suffer. Although she would go with the disaster relief team and would not be treated badly along the way, and would be accompanied by Xie Yuan, Cangzhou was a disaster area after all, and it was no more comfortable than staying in Shangjing, and she would inevitably have to endure hardships along the way.

But Ji Yan insisted on going, and the chief assistant was obedient to her, so she had to nod her head. She could only tell Xie Yuan to take good care of her aunt along the way, protect her safety, and try to make her suffer as little as possible.

Xie Yuan naturally agreed, but the nature of this trip was special. Ji Yan could not bring Shuangshuang with her, and there would not be many people around to serve her.

Before leaving, Xie Yuan came to remind her in person, repeatedly emphasizing the seriousness, and even trying to persuade her to stay in the house. However, the girl's expression never changed, she was not afraid, and she didn't care whether there was anyone around her to serve her.

As for Ji Yan, she had no intention of bringing Shuangshuang with her. Shuangshuang was still young and it was unclear what the situation was in Cangzhou. If something happened, Ji Yan might not be able to protect Shuangshuang, and even if she went there, There is no need to suffer with her, it is better to keep her in the house.

After Xie Yuan repeatedly confirmed that Ji Yan did not regret it, he relaxed and said: "We will set off at 10:00 the next day. My aunt will pack her things tonight and rest early."

"Yes." Ji Yan nodded, then raised her eyes and glanced at the increasingly serious young man in front of her. After a moment of silence, she suddenly called him: "Xie Yuan."

"Ok?"

The young man was wearing black and white clothes, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he lowered his eyes to look at her.

Ji Yan stopped talking, her eyes were bright, and she seemed to have a lot to say to him, but she didn't know where to start. In the end, she just said dryly: "You should also go to bed early."

"Okay." His voice was as warm as water, his thin lips seemed to be smiling, and his figure disappeared into the night in an instant.

Ji Yan stood there for a long time before going back to the house to pack her luggage to take to Cangzhou.

Shuangshuang tidied up with her and took a lot of gauze dresses. The clothes in the original owner's wardrobe were all bright and colorful, and the materials were very good. This trip was to the disaster area. Ji Yan didn't want to be too ostentatious, so she I took out the brightly colored dresses and specially selected some that looked more low-key and stuffed them into my bag.

Shuangshuang sighed: "Why should my wife go to Cangzhou and suffer? If she wants to know the news about her relatives, she can ask the eldest son to go to her hometown to find out the news."

Ji Yan shook her head: "I still want to go there in person."

It is written in the original book that the disaster in Cangzhou lasted the longest and affected the widest range. The people were in dire straits, and there were many innocent souls in the disaster area. The people were miserable, and the surrounding areas were also affected to a certain extent.

She could go there herself, and maybe she could use a golden finger to help.

...

On the day of departure, the chief assistant personally put her into the carriage. Ji Yan simply packed up some necessities, but there were several large boxes piled on the carriage. She couldn't help but look at the chief assistant.

Xie Lin said: "The journey is long, and the temperature will only get higher and higher in the future. If these things are not enough, Yanyan remembers to write to me and let me know, and I will send someone to Cangzhou as soon as possible."

The chief assistant was afraid that she would be wronged on the road. Ji Yan pursed her lips. It would be great if the chief assistant was her father. She would not be so embarrassed and would not hurt his heart in the future.

She lowered her eyes quietly, and the chief assistant quietly stuffed a waterproof bag into her arms, and tied the bag tightly with a drawstring. Her hands were cold and filled with a slight chill.

"The ice inside here probably won't last long, but it can last for a while. When the ice melts, Yanyan can only rely on herself. If she can't hold on, she must tell Yuan'er and he will take care of her. Good on you."

"Yeah." Ji Yan held the ice pack in both hands, feeling a little touched in her heart.

She decided to confess everything to the chief minister when she came back from Cangzhou, at least she would no longer keep him in the dark and just treat her well.

The carriage set off with the relief team. Ji Yan stretched out her hand to push aside the curtains and saw Xie Yuan riding on the back of a horse. The young man was dressed in black and wore a power fence on his head. His face was hidden behind the gauze. He followed her every step of the way. .

Ji Yan looked at it for a while and felt too hot. She sat back obediently and applied an ice pack to her face.

This summer is almost full of high temperatures, and Cangzhou is the hardest-hit area.

The ice cubes in the ice bag did not last long, and all turned into water in less than half an hour.

The chief assistant's worries are not unreasonable. Before arriving in Cangzhou, the heat has already made people feel dizzy.

After nightfall, the temperature dropped slightly and it got a little better.

Ji Yan had almost no appetite for food and only wanted to drink water. The relief team traveled day and night without stopping on the way.

Two nights later, the team arrived in Jiaozhou and stopped to rest for the night at the inn.

Xie Yuan got off his horse, tied it into the stable, and then came to pick Ji Yan up from the carriage.

The girl's skin was white and rosy, her eyes were tinged with light aqua. She was covered in light gauze. The gauze around her neck was soaked with sweat and stuck to her skin. There was a little sweat on the tip of her nose. After seeing him, she bent down and got out of the carriage.

Xie Yuan explained: "Let's rest at the inn tonight and continue our journey after dawn tomorrow. Is my aunt feeling unwell?"

Ji Yan shook her head. Compared with others, her treatment was already very good.

Following Xie Yuan into the inn, Ji Yan saw the prince sitting at the table with a gloomy expression, and Jing He kneeling at his feet with the iron collar still on his neck.
