On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

Li Xuan subconsciously reached out to catch her.

But this time Pei Xinyi didn't thank him anymore, she beat him hard, "Bad guy, why did you crash into my carriage!"

Li Xuan frowned and scolded, "How dare you! It was your carriage that rushed over and frightened my mount."

"You didn't even give way to me when you saw me! Why don't you apologize to me quickly!"

"I didn't run towards you. It was your horse that hit my carriage first. Your Majesty, please be reasonable. Let me off now!"

Li Xuan found it interesting when he saw her excited and expressive little face.

And it feels good when you hold it in your arms.

Deliberately not letting her go.

Threatening, "Don't even think about leaving if you don't apologize to me!"

"Don't apologize, you were the one who made the mistake first!"

Pei Xiner bit his arm hard.

To avenge the humiliation he had suffered before.

If Luo'er marries the Regent, her cousin will have someone to support her and will not be afraid of King Liang.

Li Xuan hissed a few times, "You little bitch, let me go!"

I didn't expect her to have such a savage side. I scolded her, "You are so rude and unreasonable!"

"Be careful you won't get married!"

"It's none of your business whether I can get married or not!"

Pei Xinyi snorted coldly and took the opportunity to slide out of his arms.

Stumble and fall.

Li Xuan subconsciously reached out to help her, but his hand was empty.

Pei Xinyi had already moved to the side, climbed up, dusted off her robe, and climbed back into her carriage.

Her coachman remained calm, bowed respectfully to Li Xuan and apologized, then drove the carriage away.

However, Pei Xinyi was still angry. She stuck her head out of the carriage window and made a face at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. No one took him seriously on this trip!

What, he is also a vassal king!

When the time is right, I must deal with this woman!

Pei Xinyi's carriage arrived in front, and she saw Ning Luo and burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu... Luo'er, I finally found you. My father sent people to chase me and wanted to arrest me, so I escaped from the post station to find you."

"You must protect me!"

"I don't want to go back to being a widow."

Ning Luo was surprised, "Aren't you a woman disguised as a man? Who can recognize you?"

"My second brother is here too, so he will naturally recognize me."

Pei Xinyi's second brother is the head of the Ministry of Revenue, Pei Wenzhong.

A sixth-rank civil servant.

I am only twenty-three years old this year.

"I suspect he also deliberately sought opportunities to travel."

"Did he catch up with us?"

"Here it comes, right behind!"

Ning Luo looked back and saw his cousin Pei Wenzhong and two guards riding horses chasing after him in the distance.

However, when he caught up with the team, he was stopped by Li Xuan.

I don't know what they were talking about.

It is estimated that they will not come forward to disturb the Regent for the time being.

Ning Luo comforted Pei Xinyi, "Don't worry, I'm here, your cousin can't take you away."

Pei Xinyi escaped. If she was taken home, she would inevitably be put under house arrest.

Maybe she will be sent to the Wei family as a widow. The Pei family has already gone through three matchmakers and six betrothal proposals.

Even if the Pei family did not send Pei Xinyi to the Wei family, Pei Xinyi would be affected by the sudden death of her fiancé Wei Changxiao. It would be difficult for her to get married in the future, and someone might say that she was unlucky.

Anyone who dares to marry a woman who brings bad luck to her husband will have no friends.

The Pei family might choose a man from a lower family to marry her.

You have to protect your cousin and not let her suffer any harm.

"Woo woo woo, Luo'er, you are so kind."

Pei Xinyi felt relieved.

Ning Luo prepared a docile pony for her, put the saddle on it himself, and let her ride side by side with him.

The two were talking and laughing, behaving very intimately.

Li Yi looked back at Ning Luo, and frowned slightly when he saw Pei Xinyi, the burden. It would be inconvenient for him if she stuck to Luo'er all the time.

Forget it, what’s the matter, this is Luoer’s cousin in this life.

Luo'er's several princess sisters in the Heavenly Palace were not on good terms with her. Not only were they jealous of her beauty and fame, they also often caused trouble for her.

It is rare for Luoer to enjoy the love of her family in this world.

In just one hour, the Regent's troops arrived at the gate of Nan County.

The city gates are wide open.

Upon learning that the Regent was coming in person, the city gate officer led the soldiers to kneel down to greet him.

The people in the city also knelt on the ground.

The crowd shouted: "Welcome the Regent to Nan County. Long live the Regent!"

Li Yi was riding on a tall horse, looking handsome and solemn.

"I have come to Nan County to punish corrupt officials. If the people have grievances, feel free to file a complaint at the government office today. I will uphold justice for you!"

Hearing this, the people looked up at the Regent with excitement on their faces.

Once again, they shouted "Long Live the Regent" and lined the streets to welcome him.

After the Regent's carriage entered the city, the Nan County Magistrate Zhang Fang and a group of yamen runners were tied up and paraded through the streets for public display. The people were delighted and applauded.

Many people also threw debris at corrupt officials and cursed them.

The Prince Regent personally heard the case in the Nan County government office.

After checking Zhang Fang's personal account book, he immediately ordered the guards to arrest all the people involved in the case for interrogation.

Upon hearing the news, the people of Nan County rushed to beat drums to file a complaint, accusing Zhang Fang of colluding with merchants and gentry to oppress the people, bending the law for personal gain, and imposing taxes privately.

Li Yi quickly tried and judged the case. In just half a day, he collected a lot of evidence of Zhang Fang's corruption and abuse of power, and the evidence was conclusive.

He and his minions were beheaded in the street to appease the public anger.

The merchants who had colluded with Zhang Fang to resell grain from the government's reserve granaries were also confiscated and exiled.

Part of the money and food obtained was used to compensate the victims, and the rest was used to resettle the refugees.

All the land occupied by the officials and gentry in Nan County who colluded with the government to cause chaos was confiscated and provided for the refugees to cultivate and settle down.

Nan County will enjoy a three-year tax exemption.

The Prince Regent was an expert at solving cases and was decisive in killing people, which won him the support of the people.

For a time, people rushed to tell each other and praised the achievement endlessly.

There were also people who had been wronged for many years and had their cases redressed. They were so grateful to the Regent that they set up longevity tablets for him at home and burned incense to worship him.

That night, while Li Yi was practicing, he suddenly realized that his cultivation had increased several times. A pill had formed in his dantian, and his Qi refining had broken through several levels.

Gained some magical powers, such as telekinesis and invisibility.

Ning Luo concluded that it was the merits bestowed by the people that improved his cultivation.
