Rong Fei carefully looked at the expression on Qi Zhiheng's face.
Seeing that the prince did not refuse immediately, he quickly continued: "The princess must have been jealous of Zhao Xiaoniang yesterday. The prince fell into love again and did some things like a prodigal, so the princess had no choice but to escape from the house!"
Qi Zhiheng stopped and turned his head, staring at Rong Feng with cold eyes, "Do you think I forced her to leave?"
"Are you trying to disobey my king's order?"
Qi Zhiheng's voice was calm, but Rong Feng felt a cold threat.
Rongfeng immediately shut his mouth tightly, shook his head repeatedly, and did not dare to speak again.
After a while, Qi Zhiheng slowly turned around, continued walking out, and said in a deep voice: "Let them kidnap the person and send him back to the palace."
After Rong Feng heard this, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed. He laughed happily, straightened his body, and responded resoundingly: "Yes!" Then he jogged a few steps to catch up with Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng followed the chamberlain into the palace, while Rongfeng led the carriage and stayed in front of the palace gate to wait.
After about a stick of incense, Rongfeng saw Qi Zhiheng walking out from a distance.
He stepped forward to greet him and asked in a low voice: "Why did the official Lord Xuan come to the palace? But it is related to the ownership of the 100,000-strong army in the North?"
"It's a flood in Youzhou."
Rongfeng was suspicious: "Didn't you say that the eldest prince just came back from Youzhou? Now what is he sending the prince to do?"
"Qi Kuo left Youzhou seven days ago. During the seven days, heavy rains continued in Youzhou. The water levels of the rivers rose sharply again. The newly built dams burst and floods raged. We need to leave for Youzhou immediately."
Hearing this, Rongfeng frowned and replied in a deep voice, "Yes."
Rongfeng drove the carriage back to the palace as quickly as possible.
"Go to Baibaotang and Huangji Drugstore to send orders to the branches of Baibaotang and Huangji Drugstore in various prefectures and counties to collect grain and transport it to Youzhou."
"yes."
Rongfeng took the order and turned around to leave. Qi Zhiheng walked into the palace and went to Shaoyunxuan.
When the people in the courtyard saw the prince leaving and returning, they felt anxious and looked desperate.
The prince ordered them to keep silent when he left. He left and returned after a few hours. He must have been worried that they would reveal the princess's escape from the palace, thinking that only the dead can keep secrets!
They knelt in the courtyard, lowering their heads dejectedly, ready to wait for the prince's order to send them back to the west.
Qi Zhiheng could tell the thoughts of everyone in front of him at a glance and glanced at them coldly.
"Last night, the princess ordered Linglong to accompany the nanny back to her hometown to visit her old friend. Today, the officials ordered me to go to Youzhou to control the flood. The princess cares about me and will go with me. Do you understand?" Qi Zhiheng's words were full of coercion.
Everyone didn't react at first, but after a while they came to their senses, wept with joy, and kept kowtowing in response: "Yes."
"Watch your mouths. If I hear a word from someone else's mouth, look carefully at the heads on your necks."
"Linglong, come with me." Qi Zhiheng walked out, found a deserted place and said, "Put on your hat, pretend to be a princess and go to Youzhou with me."
Linglong nodded in agreement.
…
The steward Li Shu on the other side heard that Qi Zhiheng was going to Youzhou to deal with the flood immediately, so he sent the servants in the house to pack their bags.
A wooden box of high-value silver notes, four BMWs capable of traveling thousands of miles a day, a cart of autumn and winter clothes, two carriages spacious enough to sleep two people, ten strong followers and one Shen Yi.
When Qi Zhiheng left the mansion again, he looked at the things prepared for him in front of the mansion and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Uncle Li, are these things you prepared too exaggerated?" Qi Zhiheng asked with a smile.
"How could it be! This old slave is still worried that he won't bring enough for the prince!"
The corners of Qi Zhiheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Is it enough to bring the entire palace with him?
"This trip to Youzhou requires day and night travel. Except for four horses, a carriage and the groom, Yinqiao and Shen Yi, there is no need for anything else."
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward, firmly grasped the reins with one hand, jumped up, and sat firmly on the horse.
Linglong left the mansion alone with her curtain hat on. Rongfeng opened the curtain and helped Linglong get into the carriage.
Uncle Li frowned and stepped forward: "How can this be done?"
"Uncle Li, please take good care of the palace. The princess is traveling with the king this time, and the palace needs you to take care of it."
"Whatever the prince says, this is all the slave's responsibility." Uncle Li said with tears streaming down his face, "The prince has just returned to the capital and enjoyed a few days of happiness, and he is leaving again..."
The incident happened suddenly. Zhao Shuer from Qingfengyuan had just received the news and was late.
With tears in her eyes, she gently stepped forward and grabbed the hem of Qi Zhiheng's clothes.
Her voice was trembling and pleading, "Your Majesty, please take Shu'er with you. There are not enough people to take care of you on the road, and Shu'er really can't worry about Your Majesty."
Qi Zhiheng looked at her, his face darkened. He tugged at the hem of his clothes and said in a cold and unhappy tone, "If you have nothing to do, go into the palace to stay with your mother."
Zhao Shuer's heart tightened.
Thinking about it, last night's Mi Qing San not only made her disliked by the prince, but also made the prince anger the empress dowager.
Her eyes were full of regret and pain. Looking at Qi Zhiheng's alienated figure, tears welled up in her eyes, "Your Majesty, my mother also heard that Shu'er had been in the palace for many days and had not yet received the favor of the prince, so she made this move for Shu'er... If the prince forgives Shu'er, let Shu'er redeem her sins and serve the prince on the road!"
"The princess will go with me." Qi Zhiheng said coldly.
Hearing this, Zhao Shuer's heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the carriage.
The breeze gently blew the curtain of the carriage, and a beautiful shadow fell into Zhao Shuer's eyes. Her eyes widened slightly, as if she had been hit hard by something.
Jealousy and anger welled up in Zhao Shuer's heart.
She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her fingers tightening unconsciously, trying to suppress the anger in her heart.
Last night, when the medicine was taking full effect, Qi Zhiheng slapped her out the door. Mu Nanxi happened to go there at that time, and she might have already slept with the prince!
She thought that everything was under her control, but in the end, all her plans and ambitions turned out to be Mu Nanxi's wedding dress.
"Let's go!" Qi Zhiheng didn't bother to talk to her and led a few people to leave.
Zhao Shuer froze on the spot, the murderous intent in her eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Shen Yi and Rong Feng walked side by side, looking at Qi Zhiheng's back with admiration in his eyes: "The prince is really enlightened. He knows that the princess can save his life. Now he doesn't even dare to go out to do business without taking the princess with him!"
Shen Yi has been developing Wandujie behind closed doors for the past few days, and Qi Zhiheng has blocked the news, so naturally he doesn't know about this shocking event.
Rongfeng looked at Shen Yi speechlessly, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.
"Why do you look like you've eaten shit?" Shen Yi asked in confusion.
Rong Fei held his breath, his face turned red but he still didn't dare to say anything. He just sighed and said, "It's not worse than eating shit!"
