When Mingyu and Lin Xianyu walked out of the crowd of kneeling refugees, Ye Yan took the initiative to greet them.
He raised his right hand and rubbed Mingyu's little head to comfort the crying Mingyu, and then put his eyes on Lin Xianyu.
"Miss, there are a lot of people here. Why don't you bring a few more guards? What if something goes wrong?"
Lin Xianyu shook his head with a smile and said: "There will be no trouble. These people are ordinary people who were fooled just to live. They can't do any harm.
Besides, even if there is trouble, if I am here, someone will definitely come out to put an end to it. "
"As long as the eldest lady is aware of it." Ye Yan didn't say much. With the relationship between the two of them, it was enough to show concern. Continuing to talk would only appear polite.
Lin Xianyu did not continue on this topic. She glanced at Lin Yuyu who was standing behind Ye Yan, nodded and said hello, and then started talking about business.
"Your Highness, I actually knew your whereabouts half an hour ago, so I came here specifically..."
The changes that took place in the imperial city in the past two days were made known to Ye Yan and others during Lin Xianyu's slow conversation.
Lin Xianyu didn't hide anything, including the attitude of the Taifu Mansion in this matter.
After hearing this, Ye Yan smiled bitterly and said, "So I accidentally stung a hornet's nest?"
Lin Xianyu looked back at the refugees who were still kneeling in the snow and refused to move. Without an explanation for such a tough attitude, they would block Ye Yan from entering the city.
"Then what will your Highness do?"
In fact, Ye Yan's method of entering the imperial city was not as complicated as he imagined.
He could completely use his status as the seventh prince of the Daqian Dynasty to call part of the city guards to escort him into the city.
It was impossible for these unarmed refugees to stop the city guards.
But once he does this, it means that Ye Yan has lost the chess game.
The rumor that he embezzled disaster relief funds will become a fact and cannot be washed away even if he wants to.
The person who arranged this scene has achieved his goal.
Personally, Lin Xianyu didn't want Ye Yan to do this.
Once this is done, it means there will be bloodshed today.
Ye Yan will also become a prince that everyone shouts to beat.
She didn't want to see this happen.
But if she didn't do this, she couldn't think of any other way to allow Ye Yan to enter the city smoothly.
Facing Lin Xianyu's inquiry, Ye Yan thought for a while and suddenly laughed.
"I don't do anything. My purpose of leaving the city this time is to provide food for disaster relief. Now that the food has been delivered to the city gate, who dares not to allow me to enter the city?"
Anyone would feel uncomfortable being targeted by so many people, and Ye Yan was like that at the beginning.
But after thinking about it just now, he realized that this matter actually had nothing to do with him at all.
He didn't want to be the prince, and he didn't want to get involved in the relationship between the aristocratic family and the emperor.
What do these people want to do to influence him to help the female villain gain merit? Not at all.
So, Ye Yan turned to Bai Enci and said, "Master Enci, show everyone the food we brought, and treat it as an advance payment of tolls."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Bai Enci nodded in agreement, but added: "Sir, how about I swear to submit to you as the leader of the Bai Li clan, so that I can maximize my benefits."
Ye Yan waved his hand and refused: "There is no need. We are not actors. Why are we putting on a show for others to see?"
Hearing this, Bai Enci felt a little regretful.
It seems that their venerable person really has no interest in the throne at all.
In his opinion, this is a good opportunity to win back the hearts of the people.
As long as he acted like that, he would kneel down to Ye Yan on the spot and publicize what Ye Yan had experienced these days.
Ye Yanwen's image of becoming a martial artist and loving the people like a son will soon be spread throughout the entire Daqian Dynasty.
Anyway, as a member of the Bai Li tribe, it is not something unspeakable for him to kneel down before the Venerable.
But Ye Yan wouldn't let him do this, and he wouldn't go against Ye Yan's will.
People's minds will change anyway, and without this opportunity, it doesn't mean anything.
Bai Enci walked to the bullock cart, grabbed a sack and opened it.
In an instant, the white rice inside flowed to the ground.
This scene shocked everyone except Ye Yan and his entourage who were just about to enter the city.
Lin Xianyu said in surprise: "Your Highness, have you found food?"
It's not that she didn't see the bullock cart behind Ye Yan.
But she really couldn't imagine where Ye Yan got the food from.
You know, with the combined efforts of the major grain merchants, not even Ye Chen can even think of getting the grain out.
But Ye Yan was alone. After disappearing for two days, he actually came back with food.
This is like pie in the sky.
Ye Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Miss, I'll tell you more about this when I have the chance. Now let's go into the city."
At Ye Yan's signal, Bai Enci walked in front carrying the sack. Where the rice fell, the refugees automatically moved out of the way and knelt down beside it.
If it weren't for the scene just now, I would have thought they were kneeling down to welcome Ye Yan and his entourage into the city.
Not to mention Ye Yan, a prince, Ye Yucheng's imperial commander may not be able to enjoy such treatment even if he returns from a victorious battle.
It wasn't until the seventeenth female general who fell at the end of the team passed through the passage where the refugees knelt to greet them that the scene around the East City Gate became noisy.
"There are so many bullock carts, all of which are covered with sacks. Can't they all be filled with rice? Is it possible that they are filled with stones? This is the way His Highness the Seventh Prince came up with to enter the city."
"Brother, use your brain. Even if the sacks are not all rice, the food brought by His Highness the Seventh Prince this time will at least be enough for disaster relief.
Otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to do so. After today, if he couldn't get food, he would still be in bad luck. "
"I heard that two days ago, someone heard the roar of a dragon outside the imperial city. Could it be because of His Highness the Seventh Prince?
Otherwise, how did this food come about in just two days? Apart from the True Dragon Emperor, I really can't think of anywhere else where I can find so much food.
You know, those grain merchants, in order to make money for disaster relief this time, went all out and bought all the surrounding grain at high prices. "
"It's wonderful. It's so wonderful. Thousands of people kneel down to greet us. This is a treatment that no emperor has ever received before."
"From today on, the Daqian Dynasty has another seventh prince, His Royal Highness. The fourth prince's position as crown prince is now vacant."
"It doesn't matter who becomes the prince, the more capable these princes are, the better it is for us in the Daqian Dynasty."
"No, I'm so excited. Would you like to come with me to the flower boat for a drink?"
"Go together, go together."
