Quick Travel: Redeeming the yandere villain Little Poor

Ji Yan did not expect that the prince would come to Cangzhou to provide relief and would bring Jinghe with him.

She didn't look much. Xie Yuan led her to the room, but the prince suddenly stopped him: "Xie Qing, why don't you bring your aunt over to sit here?"

Ji Yan: "..." Thank you, she doesn't want to sit there at all.

She looked at Xie Yuan. The young man lowered his eyes slightly and whispered: "Auntie, wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"Ah."

She was very obedient and kept her head lowered, not looking at the prince.

Xie Yuan seemed to have said something to the prince. Later, Ji Yan only heard the prince snort and said with a disappointed face: "That's it, go and come back quickly."

A piece of black clothes caught his sight, and Ji Yan raised her head to look at Xie Yuan, lowering her voice and saying, "Is the prince giving you a hard time?"

Xie Yuan shook his head and led her upstairs. After settling her down, he asked for warm water for her to wash up. Ji Yan also felt sticky and uncomfortable, so she took a bath first and changed into clean clothes.

She sat in front of the window to dry her hair. The moon was bright in the night, but the wind was warm on people's faces. The steaming heat made people feel depressed.

After a while, the hair will be quite dry. After some time, Xie Yuan took her downstairs to eat. She didn't eat a few mouthfuls, but drank a lot of water. Xie Yuan remained silent and only said after she put down her chopsticks: "If my aunt regrets it now, it's still too late. I We will arrange carriages and horses to escort my aunt back to Beijing."

The girl's face flushed with heat, but she still shook her head firmly after hearing this: "Don't worry about me, I don't regret it, but I really don't have any appetite now."

Xie Yuan agreed and stopped mentioning sending her back to Beijing.

She went back to the room after dinner, unable to sleep, and sat for a while. Before she was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door. Ji Yan remained vigilant and did not open the door directly. She opened the door only after hearing Xie Yuan's voice.

The young man had also taken a bath, changed into white plain clothes, and simply tied his hair with a hair tie, holding a tray in his hand.

Ji Yan blinked and heard Xie Yuan say: "The prince asked someone to make pear soup to relieve the heat. I also asked for a portion for my aunt, and she drank it before going to bed."

Ji Yan was not sure and asked Xie Yuan, "Have you drank it?"

"Yes." The young man's face was calm and he said softly: "Auntie, please rest early after drinking. We will continue on our way tomorrow."

"Okay." Ji Yan took the tray from his hand. After closing the door, she came to the table and was stunned when her fingers touched the porcelain bowl. The bowl was iced. Such a bowl of iced pear soup would cost a lot of money. It was huge, and only a prince with a status like that could enjoy the power.

The ice pear soup is very refreshing. One gulp of it will make your whole lungs feel cool.

On the other side, Xie Yuan just turned around and met the prince's dark-looking phoenix eyes.

Xiao Yuzhi leaned against the door frame, while Jing He fanned him with a cattail fan.

The prince's feminine face was stained with a look of inquiry. After a while, he chuckled with unknown meaning and said: "The bachelor really gave himself a good son."

Xie Yuan said nothing, pretending that he did not understand the deep meaning of the prince's words.

Xiao Yuzhi had no intention of making things difficult for him, so he kicked the slave next to him hard and took Jinghe back to the room.

After a day of rest, the team set off again after dawn the next day.

The team walked for another three days and three nights before entering the Cangzhou area.

The first place he passed was Qingping County. When the governor of Qingping County learned the news, he led his people to greet the prince.

Along the way, Ji Yan also opened the curtains to observe the situation in Cangzhou. The fields were almost all cracked by the sun, and the nearby riverbed had dried up. There were almost no people on the road. Occasionally, she would see human bones that were white and cracked by the sun. .

The governor of Qingping County was the only person who foresaw the natural disaster in advance. It was a pity that the court failed to take it seriously before the disaster occurred.

However, the county governor did not just sit back and wait for the disaster to come. Before the severe drought, he issued an order for the people of Qingping County to prepare supplies for the drought in advance. Therefore, compared with other counties, the situation in Qingping County is much better, and the people have sufficient supplies in their homes. of water and food.

After the county warden introduced the situation in Qingping County to the prince, the prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Ji Yan and Xie Yuan followed together, and the girl couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know how the county governor predicted the celestial phenomena, but it really came true."

She said casually, not expecting an answer.

As a result, Xie Yuan listened and lowered his voice and said to her: "I have read the memorial written by the governor of Qingping County. The county governor judged the celestial phenomena based on the experience of farming that has been handed down for a long time."

"During the Slight Summer Period, the weather in Cangzhou is gloomy and the south wind tends to blow. These are signs of a severe drought."

Ji Yan nodded and admired the Qingping County Sheriff for being able to discover the problem and take measures at the first time. At least in the early stages of the drought, the people of Qingping County would be safe.

But as time went by, the supplies stored by the people were exhausted, and chaos inevitably broke out.

And this drought is destined to last for a long time. In the face of nature, all human struggles seem to be pale and feeble.

Especially in ancient times when technology was underdeveloped, ordinary people were the ones who suffered the most.

The prince and his entourage moved into the governor's mansion and prepared to stay in Qingping County for a while.

When the prince wanted to take a bath at night, the steward of the county governor's mansion said tactfully: "Your Highness, there is not much clean water and food in Qingping County. We need to use them sparingly at this time, otherwise the disaster will be aggravated."

The prince sneered: "Are you threatening Gu?"

The steward did not dare to speak, and was finally dragged out by the prince's people and whipped until he was half breathed.

Ji Yan clenched her fingers, and she finally understood why the prince, who had so many wise men around him, finally lost to the second prince and lost his position as heir apparent.

At night, Ji Yan was standing in the yard and felt heavy when she heard the screams coming from next door. Xie Yuan thought she was too hot to sleep, so he walked towards her and stood beside her.

The young man's voice was slightly hoarse and he asked her: "Auntie, do you want to take a bath?"

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at him in disbelief: "Xie Yuan, do you think I should take a bath?"

The young man pursed his thin lips slightly, and facing her incredible gaze, his beautiful face was lost for a moment. He slightly bent his fingers on his side and said: "The water I brought to Cangzhou from Shangjing still has a surplus, which can be used by my aunt. "

He didn't defend himself, but he didn't want her to misunderstand, so he said so.

He and the prince were still somewhat different in nature. What the prince did was adding insult to injury to Qingping County, while he just wanted to give her his water.

In fact, this was not much better than the prince's behavior. Xie Yuan also knew it, so he became quiet, and the expression in his eyes changed back and forth.

Ever since Xie Yuan agreed to work for the prince, he had often interacted with the prince. Ji Yan was always worried that he would be led astray by the prince and become a true villain. Now that he heard Xie Yuan's words again, he felt even more uneasy.

She no longer looked at him and said in a calm voice: "Compared to me, the thousands of people in Cangzhou need this water more. Since we have arrived in Cangzhou, no matter it is the water we brought or the water stored in Cangzhou, , have become scarce resources and cannot be wasted.”

The young man listened carefully, lowered his head slightly, his slender hairband brushed past his face, and said in a good voice: "My aunt taught me a lesson."
