The county magistrate returned to the county government office with the body, and immediately arranged all the matters without taking a rest.

After finishing the work, it was almost dark, and Agent Li came in quickly and said, "Brother-in-law, we just got the news that a team of people is coming towards us."

The county magistrate immediately widened his eyes: "People and horses? What people and horses? Are they the evil people who killed the government officials?"

"It doesn't look like it's a carriage convoy," Agent Li lowered his voice, "I heard that the King of Zhennan is being exiled and will pass through our place."

The county magistrate was stunned: "King Zhennan? That's not right. The exile team should be exiled prisoners. How can it be a carriage team?"

"There must be fraud. We will conduct a strict investigation when the time comes. Go there in person. If you have any questions, report to me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Agent Li hurriedly took the order. As soon as he drove his horse to the gate of the county town, he saw the motorcade not far away and immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to stop it.

Ma Liyu and Meng Mengliang walked in the front. Yan Ruyu had been unwell for the past two days, so they didn't bother anyone and just led the way.

Their pressure was also quite low. The Qi family's affairs were happening in front of their eyes, but they were helpless, especially Yan Ruyu who was still ill.

As he was walking forward, soldiers in front blocked his way.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Meng Mengliang rolled his eyes and was about to step forward, but Ma Liyu took the first step: "I am the officer escorting the exile team. I have a document here, please let me go."

Agent Li was slightly surprised. He took the document and took a look. It was true. If he looked more closely, he was indeed from the Zhennan Palace.

After waving his hand to let them go, and arranging his men to follow them quietly to see where they would settle, Agent Li quickly went back to report to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate had just changed his clothes and felt a little calmer. Agent Li came to report that it was indeed the team of the King of Zhennan.

"Brother-in-law, let's go take a look. Although they are prisoners now, they are the King of Zhennan, a man with great military exploits. He has defended the peace of the northwest for many years. Can't we show our appreciation?"

"Biao, gotta watch," the county magistrate immediately changed back to his official clothes, "Go to the backyard to find your sister and grab two old hens, the one raised by the third aunt, and the vegetables grown by the fourth aunt, which are now dried. "It's best to make dumplings and eat them, so let her get some too."

"Row."

Yin Ding, Beibei and the others came here first to choose the inn. It was quiet and clean, and they specially asked for a small courtyard for Yan Ruyu.

Huo Changhe carried Yan Ruyu into the yard. The stove had been set up in the house, and it was warm. Hot water was rolling on the stove.

"Your Majesty, what should we have for dinner?" Yin Ding asked.

Huo Changhe had no appetite, but it was freezing cold and he couldn't do it without eating.

"Look at the arrangements, let everyone eat in the inn, keep a low profile, don't make any noise, go back and rest after eating, and don't move around unless you have nothing to do."

"Yes."

"Bring the small pot, I'll make some porridge for the princess."

"Yes."

Huo Changhe was busy when Ma Liyu came into the hospital to see him.

"Your Majesty, is the princess feeling better?"

"It's still the same."

"If you need anything from us, just talk," Ma Liyu said guiltily, "We don't know how we can help. We're really sorry."

"Master Ma is serious," Huo Changhe said. "There are too many irregularities along the way. If it weren't for Master Ma's help, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to be so convenient."

Ma Liyu wanted to say something else, but Meng Mengliang came in from outside: "Your Majesty, sir, I would like to see the magistrate of this county."

Huo Changhe frowned slightly: "He? What is he doing here?"

"I heard that the prince was passing by here in exile, and he said he came to visit him."

Huo Changhe also wanted to ask him what happened next.

"Well, let him in."

Ma Liyu and Meng Mengliang went out and brought the county magistrate in.

The county magistrate was followed by Agent Li, both of them holding something in their hands.

"Is this the prince? I am the magistrate of this county. I heard that the prince is here, so I came here to pay my respects."

As the magistrate spoke and saluted, the chicken he was holding suddenly crowed and pecked the back of his hand.

The county magistrate screamed in pain and couldn't help but let go. The chicken's feet were tied, but its wings could still flutter.

The county magistrate rushed to catch it, but without paying attention, the duck in the other hand also ran away.

For a moment, the room was buzzing with chickens and ducks.

Agent Li quickly put down the chicken baskets and egg baskets in his hands and came to help catch the chickens.

Huo Changhe: "..."

What is all this fuss about!

After finally catching them again and stopping, the county magistrate looked up and took a closer look, eh? Why does this prince look so familiar?

Captain Li was also surprised and said: "Sir, why is it you? Are you...the prince?"

The county magistrate also immediately remembered, isn't this the black-faced young man in the small town?

She also helped him deliver messages.

"Oh, I didn't expect that you are the prince. No wonder the letter spread so quickly. By the way, I have already got the documents signed by the governor and the banknotes. Thank you, prince. If you hadn't helped me, I might still have lost my life. It’s going to be a long wait.”

Huo Changhe finally heard something serious and let out a sigh of relief: "That's good. Once you get the money, you can distribute it to the families of the victims."

"Yes, yes, the official has already distributed it personally. Prince, don't worry. Although the official is not very wealthy, he will never show favoritism in this kind of matter, and he will not take a penny."

"Oh, by the way, these are the products of Xiaguan's family. The chickens, ducks and dried vegetables are all raised by my aunt, and these eggs are also laid by myself. Your Majesty, there is nothing precious in this small county. Please give me a favor. You accept it."

The county magistrate was very worried, and Agent Li was even more embarrassed.

Both of them felt that these things were really out of their reach.

Others gave gifts to Shangfeng, such as silver coins, jewelry, etc. They gave these to the prince as gifts.

"The county magistrate is interested," Huo Changhe's expression softened, "I will accept these things, thank you very much."

The county magistrate was overjoyed and stepped forward and said: "Oh, my lord, please don't be polite. These chickens and ducks are very fat. You don't need to add too many seasonings. They are very delicious when stewed. My third aunt can't do anything else. It's very easy to raise them." There’s a set.”

"There is also this dried vegetable with some fat and used to make dumplings. It is very delicious."

He rambled so much that Huo Changhe had a headache and was afraid that he would disturb Yan Ruyu.

"Okay, I know this and will do it. Thank you very much. It's not early, so please come back."

The county magistrate also wanted to say that Captain Li would drag him away quickly.

Huo Changhe looked at the things under the table on the ground and pressed his temples.

Just as I was thinking about what to do, there was sudden movement in the room.

He quickly entered the room and saw Yan Ruyu woke up and was about to get out of bed.

"Yu'er!" Huo Changhe was overjoyed and rushed over to help her, "You're awake? But you're hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Yan Ruyu held his warm palm: "I just heard what the county magistrate said, and I feel a little hungry. Let's kill a chicken."

"Okay, okay, just wait, I'll go right away."

Huo Changhe said, staring at her reluctantly: "How do you feel? Is your head still dizzy? Is there any discomfort?"

Yan Ruyu smiled: "It's okay, everything is fine, I'm just a little hungry."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Huo Changhe smiled and hurried out to get ready. Yan Ruyu raised her hand and touched her eyes.

Close it and open it again.
