The patters of light rain spilled down on the earth, and the noisy streets on weekdays lacked a lot of pedestrians, and occasionally a few playful children rushed into the rain to play and chase. Although the rain has weakened for several days, it still has no momentum to stop, and let it not. The people who don't rely on stalls for a living are sorrowful.

In the cool breeze, Liu Yin was sitting in front of the window while eating grapes, holding a book in his hand, and looking out the window from time to time, complaining on his small face, "What do you think of my cousin? It obviously didn't rain yesterday, but he has to choose to go outside the city to see the refugees today. There is still this rain, and he doesn't know when it will rain."

Zhang Man at the back took a cloak and put it behind her, with a serious expression, "His Royal Highness must have his own plan. The outside is heavy and humid, I must be afraid that the crown princess will catch the cold and did not bring you."

Liu Yin glanced at her with worry on his face, "But he didn't take many people, what if he is in danger?"

She heard that someone was inciting the refugees to make trouble recently, but this person left the people from Shenjiying in the inn and was not afraid of accidents.

"His Royal Highness just went to visit, sometimes, it is inconvenient when there are too many people." Zhang Man lowered his head and said.

Liu Yin didn't speak any more, but looked out the window in a depressed mood. Although the mist and rain are beautiful, it affects ordinary people's lives every day. It is inconvenient to even go out. According to this method, the flood is definitely It will only get worse.

"The prince."

Suddenly a respectful male voice came from outside the house. Liu Yin immediately heard the reputation, and Zhang Man immediately stepped to the door. I don't know what to say to the people outside, but there was an extra letter in his hand.

"It was just given by someone from the capital. It must be Master Liu who is worried about the current situation of the prince."

After receiving the letter, Liu Yin was a little confused, but it was not obvious on the face. After opening it, the strange handwriting was beautiful and neat, and it was definitely not her father's. After reading the contents, Liu Yin understood that this should be It was written by the Queen.

The other party was able to send it openly, so naturally he didn't write any secrets, just asked her about her situation here, and asked her to pay more attention to her body, but Liu Yin's attention was attracted by one sentence.

The other party said to let her be obedient, remember her instructions before leaving the palace, and don't cause trouble to the prince, otherwise he must teach himself a lesson after returning to the palace.

Liu Yin remembered that the queen did not say this to her before leaving the palace, but said that she should hold the prince back, and it would be better to let him return to Beijing next month, but the queen suddenly said this, and sent someone to send a letter. I was reminding myself that I must hold the prince.

Her mood became heavy in an instant, she collected the letters and asked casually: "What happened in Beijing recently? Is the father and the emperor's body better?"

Hearing that, Zhang Man inadvertently scanned the letter in her hand, and said respectfully: "Back to the crown princess, the news from Beijing is usually directly delivered to your Royal Highness, the subordinates are not clear."

When the words fell, Liu Yin didn't say anything, her whole heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom, and her whole mind was in confusion. She didn't know what the queen was going to do, but the other party must be for the good of Liu's family. This is beyond doubt, but it will be delayed. When the prince refused to let him return to Beijing, there must be conflicts.

If she helped the queen, it would be equivalent to using Qin Yan, but if she pretended to ignore it, it would be tantamount to betraying the Liu family. The queen has been planning for the Liu family in the harem all her life, but she cannot do anything for the Liu family. Only enjoy the good others treat her.

Suddenly she had a headache. She rubbed her forehead boredly, and she had never been so entangled. If the prince only acted on her occasionally, Liu Yin could help the Liu family without any psychological pressure, but the other party had always had no reservations about her and never She had guarded herself, she couldn't imagine how the other party would react if she betrayed him.

Although always complaining about each other, Liu Yin knows that Qin Yan has always been indulgent towards her, even responsive to her. Even if she has never been in a relationship, she also knows that feelings are mutual, but she not only enjoys others treat her. It's good, but now she is going to use others, which she absolutely can't do.

But when he thought of the Liu family, Liu Yin's mood became even heavier. He thought that there could be no other factors between them, but he didn't expect this day to come.

——

Outside the city it was rainy and rainy, the road was muddy, and the temporary wooden sheds were full of distressed and emaciated refugees. Everyone was leaning in a pile in twos and threes, looking desperately at the rain outside, with hollow eyes.

As a group of men in brocade clothes approached, the people cuddled closely together, looking at the group in awe, but when they saw their prefect, their eyes were full of hatred. They naturally knew that the prefect took It is not the first time that they have given money for disaster relief in these years, but they protect the officials, no matter how many people come to the court, it is useless, so they are so disheartened.

Looking at the piles of people with yellow and thin faces, Qin Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the people behind them rushed up sharply. "Your Royal Highness can rest assured that the waterways of the Qijiang River have been dredged. When the surrounding water subsides, the villages can resume normal life. As for If you rebuild the house, the ministers will also give out relief money to assist the victims."

Other officials around also hurriedly followed up. "The rain in the past few days has been much smaller than in the past, and it will probably not last too long. Your Highness can rest assured."

Qin Yan didn't speak, and when his eyes touched a young baby in a woman's arms, he suddenly stepped forward, slightly raised his hand, and the person behind hurriedly offered food.

Seeing the man approaching, the people around instinctively stepped back, only the dirty baby kept crying. Seeing the nobleman stopped in front of her, the woman was so scared that she hurriedly hugged the child in her arms. When the box of pastries fell in front of her, she was still stunned.

The surrounding officials looked at each other, looking at the refugees from time to time, and there was a glimmer of light in their eyes.

"Add more porridge every day." The man's voice was low.

Hearing that, the people behind naturally hurriedly said yes, even if they paid for it out of their own pockets, there was no way that they had a handle in the hands of this highness.

The wooden shed is very large, because it is a temporary construction, it is very simple, there are still a lot of rain and cold wind outside, just in the crowd, a few filthy victims can not help but look at each other, following the man in brocade. Getting closer, they all quietly grasped the hilt in their arms.

Looking at the person in front, the prefect of Yangzhou behind did not know when he slowed down, and suddenly said quietly: "His Royal Highness has worked hard all the way, but I don't know when he will return to Beijing."

When the words fell, the person in front suddenly glanced at the corner of his eyes, "Master Liu wants to return to Beijing alone?"

"No, no, the ministers naturally wished that His Highness would stay for a few more days, so that the ministers would have the backbone." The prefect of Yangzhou quickly smiled flatteringly.

The people in front did not speak any more, the people behind looked around and suddenly coughed. In an instant, a large number of victims holding sharp swords suddenly appeared in the crowd, and all of them stabbed at the men with fierce eyes.

"what--"

This scene scared the people around them, and they fled to the distance and scrambled. Even the officials hurried back. The assassins didn’t seem to notice them, only the unmoving man in their eyes. The sharp sword pierced the man's heart.

——

Liu Yin in the inn was still counting melon seeds, and at the end it was singular. She remembered that singularity was to help Liu's family. For a while, the whole person was depressed. How could it be so difficult to be a human being.

She didn't think of calling people until there was a lot of noise downstairs, but she didn't see anyone coming in for a long time. She couldn't help but got up and opened the door, but the next moment Zhang Man walked over nervously in the aisle. The guards guarded her closely, and saw that there was a group of menacing soldiers in the lobby at this time, and the leader was the prefect of Suzhou that had been seen in the brothel.

Liu Yin took a breath, but she didn't expect that she would be hit by her crow's mouth. He suddenly thought of Qin Yan who had no one with him, and his heart suddenly became tight.

"The princess don't go out, your subordinates will meet at the opportunity to take you away." Zhang Man said solemnly.

At this moment, the prefect of Suzhou took a few steps forward, looking faintly at the people upstairs, "It’s been a long time since the princess has seen you. I’m afraid you don’t remember the ministers. Mrs. Liu lived a few years ago. The minister also specially went to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, but he didn't expect that we would meet again soon."

He had noticed this familiar prince princess from the time he was in the brothel. When he returned, he thought about her, and finally remembered who she was. Isn’t this the daughter of Liu Shangshu's family? Anyway, he was in a nest with the prince. They wanted to catch it all. But the general did not know what was going on. He had to keep him alive and he was not afraid of things being revealed.

Liu Yin: "..."

Her face changed slightly, and she did not expect that she would have been recognized long ago. There were so many people at the birthday banquet that the original owner could not remember, how could she remember this person.

"So what does Master Zhuang mean? Are you trying to fail the following?" Her expression was not so good.

The people downstairs just waved their hands and smiled politely: "The crown prince misunderstood, and the ministers were forced to be helpless to offend. This is also forced by your highness, otherwise even if you borrow a hundred from the ministers. Don't dare to do this!"

Speaking of this, his voice was suddenly cold, "Weichen and Master Liu are also friends, as long as the crown princess walks with the weichen, the Weichen will naturally not do anything to you, otherwise--"

He glared sharply and stepped back. In that instant, a row of archers suddenly stepped forward, ready to go upstairs.

Liu Yin hurriedly backed away, followed by Zhang Man's protection into the room. The next moment there was a burst of arrows piercing the wooden board, and she looked out the window with a heartbeat.

But at this moment, there were a few noises from outside the window. Several people in black suddenly jumped in. Zhang Man instantly drew out the long sword, and the two sides immediately fought together.

The room was just a window, and Liu Yin didn't know where to flee. At this time, Li Jian had pierced the door and window and shot into the house. She dodged, but her clothes were still cut through a hole.

Xu Ye heard the movement in the room, a few guards suddenly came in outside, and instantly fought with the black-clothed men, and as the door opened, a sharp arrow burst into the air.

With a "shoo" straight into the woman's shoulders, Liu Yin snorted. Seeing that another arrow was shot in, he squatted under the table with his stinging shoulder, and instantly pulled two stools to block him.

The fiery pain in the shoulder stimulated all her nerves, the dripping blood stained the blue dress, and even her palms were stained with blood, the outside fighting continued, Liu Yin's face was pale and she was holding her shoulders. , I was full of Qin Yan’s situation, and there was still someone blocking him on his side, but there was no one on his side. I didn’t dare to think about it. God knew that she couldn’t make a choice, so I just gave myself a dead end. ?

I don’t know how long it took, but there were waves of footsteps outside. I don’t know why the arrow rain seemed to have stopped. At any rate, they were from Shenjiying. The people in black in the room were quickly resolved by Zhang Man and others. , The door was suddenly pushed open, thinking it was an assassin again, Liu Yin quickly held his breath and dared not make any noise.

"His Royal Highness."

Hearing Zhang Man's voice, Liu Yin's heart moved instantly. While removing the stool in front of him, he didn't care about the injury on his shoulder, and quickly got out from under the table.

Qin Yan glanced around the room, and finally saw a slender figure from the bottom of the table, but when he touched the long arrow stuck on her shoulder, his brows instantly frowned, and a terrifying storm filled his eyes.

"Cousin..."

Seeing the unscathed man, Liu Yin instantly burst into tears, until his waist tightened, the beating heart gradually returned to calm, but a string of teardrops fell.

Carefully avoiding the injury on her shoulder, Qin Yan looked at the people in the room indifferently, "There are more than 30 people, even the princess can't protect me well, what use is it for you!"

The temperatureless voice frightened everyone to kneel, unconsciously sweating on their foreheads, but did not dare to say a word of excuse.

At this moment, a man in silver armor and holding a sharp sword came in suddenly. After seeing Qin Yan, he handed over and said: "His Royal Highness, those brave people have all been imprisoned together, Fang Jin is now missing. But over there..."

"On the garrison side, you will take over first, and Fang Jin's confidant will be pulled out. Don't be muddled."

After the man finished speaking, his eyes kept falling on the person in his arms, and he patted her back. When he saw the large blood on her shoulder, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Zhuang Jianyuan was put to death on the spot."

The person behind paused, then nodded quickly, "Yes."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside. For a moment, I saw a guard rushing in in a hurry. Regardless of the dignified atmosphere in the room, he immediately handed over a letter, "His Royal Highness, the Palace Express !"
