After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

The empress saw the reluctance in Su Qingcheng's eyes and intervened to persuade her to stay: "If you want to stay in Beiyuan, I can give you a casual position."

"No need, I just hope you can treat Qingcheng well. If I hear that she has been wronged in Nanye, I will definitely bring my Su family army to level the Emperor Qiu." Although Su Qingcang was dressed in regular clothes, his tone when he said this made People feel the majesty of the general.

Su Qingcheng turned away and tried her best to control her emotions, but tears still fell down the moment she looked at Ye Tantai.

The man opposite her was connected with her, and he didn't need a few words to understand what she meant.

Su Qingcang couldn't stay longer, so he took advantage of the darkness and left with the support of the empress's personal guards.

The appearance of the empress made Ye Tantai's identity reasonable, and also broke the treason mentioned by Yao Jingyuan.

The next day.

The elders of the four major families and the national master who had lived in Qingchi Mountain for a long time returned to Emperor Qiu, and the princess came back with them.

It’s just that I don’t know where it started, but Yao Jingyuan’s words have become a hot topic among the people.

The princess Su Qingcheng attracted a lot of criticism while she was still on the carriage back.

Ye Tantai looked at the crowds on both sides of the street and told Su Qingcheng what the shadow guards had found: "Yao Zhirou has not met anyone else since he went up the mountain, except for the cook."

"This is the biggest problem," Su Qingcheng frowned, "I'm afraid they used some means of communication that others can't see."

"The Shadow Guards were stationed at the bottom of the mountain and did not find the homing pigeons." Ye Tantai thought.

Su Qingcheng couldn't think of any other way. She suddenly remembered that she heard the sound of water flowing while sleeping several nights.

"Is there a river in the mountains?"

Ye Tantai took out the map drawn by the shadow guard, and sure enough he saw a river running from the back mountain to the foot of the mountain. However, this river faced away from their residence and could easily be ignored.

"That's right, you can also send messages by writing letters on waterproof kraft paper."

The carriage suddenly turned sharply.

Ye Tantai held Su Qingcheng's hand in time to prevent her from hitting the carriage wall.

"What's going on?" Ye Tantai asked sharply.

"The front was blocked by people, all of whom came to see the princess' true appearance." People outside the carriage said.

Su Qingcheng frowned: "Is the Imperial Princess's Mansion in a busy city?"

Logically speaking, the private residences of the royal family are usually far away from the busy city, quiet and spacious, let alone the residence of the princess.

Although she was not familiar with the neighborhoods of Beiyuan, she happened to have been to the street in front of her. It was the most crowded and chaotic downtown street in Beiyuan.

People from all over the world gather here. She has a special status now. Coming to a place like this before everything has stabilized will undoubtedly be thrown into the fire.

"Fu Yi, why did the carriage come here?" Ye Tantai opened the curtain of the carriage, only to find that the person outside the carriage was not Fu Yi.

The man was dressed in plain clothes and had scars on his face from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his mouth.

"The princess has returned, specially brought to us in the city to see." This person's voice was exactly the same as Fu Yi's.

Su Qingcheng was shocked. She was afraid that she had fallen into someone else's trap.

After coming down from Qingchi Mountain, it took two and a half days on the road, and now it is the time when the sun is about to set.

Ye Tantai had no time to care about who the person in front of him was, let alone where Fu Yi had gone. He opened the curtain and found that he was surrounded by people in the downtown area.

There were only two of them in the carriage.

"Princess, come out and let everyone see what the future empress looks like!"

A rough voice came from the crowd, which was very rude.

At first, Su Qingcheng thought they were really people from the downtown area, but the last time she came here, she walked most of the street. The people in the downtown area that day were completely different from the people in front of her, no matter how they dressed or talked.

And she remembered that it was a busy city, with shops on both sides, and it didn't look like people living there.

That person must have picked the right time, when the sun set and the men who came out to make a living all went home, so that he could occupy this street.

She grabbed Ye Tantai's hand and said, "I'm afraid these people are not ordinary people. Can they find a way to leave?"

If Ye Tantai was alone, he could certainly escape from the crowd, but if he took Su Qingcheng with him, not only would his speed be half as fast, but he would also be distracted from protecting her.

This vast sea of ​​​​people has no end in sight.

"I'm sure of 40%." Ye Tantai frowned.

These people didn't have weapons in their hands, and they probably weren't here to kill her.

Su Qingcheng weighed the pros and cons and stepped out of the carriage. Ye Tantai's heart clenched with her movements and he guarded her every step of the way.

"I just saw it now, please let me pass, otherwise you should know that blocking the royal carriage will lead to imprisonment." Su Qingcheng looked around calmly and said.

The man with the same voice as Fu Yi obviously took some medicine that changed the tone of his voice. After the effect of the medicine wore off, he regained his voice and said, "We are all desperadoes, are we still afraid of going to jail?"

Everyone followed him and shouted: "Don't be afraid!"

It seems that this person is the leader among them...

Su Qingcheng quickly judged it. She turned her head and glanced at Ye Tantai. When their eyes met, they confirmed each other's thoughts.

At the critical moment, you can catch this person.

When she turned around again, she felt quite confident. She believed that Ye Tantai would find a way to get out of the sea, and all she had to do was divert her attention.

"Desperados? I remember that there should be businessmen in the downtown area. When did they become desperadoes?" Su Qingcheng asked doubtfully.

"Don't pretend to be stupid! News came out a few months ago that the princess is coming back and wants us to hand over a year's worth of food and hold a state banquet. She comes every three to five. If we don't hand over, we will be beaten. The scar on my face is from call taxi!"

"Wait a minute, you mean you are all forced to pay for a state banquet?" Su Qingcheng thought it was ridiculous. She had never heard of a state banquet being held since she came to Beiyuan.

She had seen the tax records sent by Yuan Ying. Taxes were paid normally everywhere in Beiyuan, and for a big country like Beiyuan that had no shortage of food, it had long stopped paying food.

Unless there is a possibility.

These people were not from Beiyuan in the first place, so that explains why their clothes were incompatible with the people in the bustling city.

But for some reasons, they came under the jurisdiction of Beiyuan.

"That's right, Dongling was defeated three years ago. We were ceded to Beiyuan as compensation. We thought good times were coming, but we didn't expect that we were greeted by another abyss!" The man was emotional.

The surrounding crowd also became agitated, shouting one after another: "The princess is stepping down! The princess is stepping down!"

"The princess is cruel! The princess has no shame!"

"Calm down first. I don't know that there is any state banquet to be held. It was probably stolen by someone with malicious intentions. Don't let others take advantage of you." Su Qingcheng wanted to appease them.
