Qin Zhen handed the banknote to Linglong without any further delay, got up and left.
Linglong held the large pile of silver notes, her eyes were a little red, and she whispered: "Prince, the princess will live up to your sincerity, she deserves it."
She took a deep breath, put away the banknotes in her hand, and led her people to start collecting food again to transport to southern Xinjiang.
On the other side, Qin Zhen had just returned to the Qin Mansion when she received a letter from southern Xinjiang.
When Qin Zhen got the letter, she didn't feel happy at all, and her face looked even uglier than before.
She had repeatedly warned not to contact her unless absolutely necessary. Now that the letter from Southern Xinjiang was delivered to her, it meant that the situation in Southern Xinjiang was not optimistic.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath, opened the envelope, and scanned it carefully.
After reading it, Qin Zhen's eyes had completely turned cold.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Manman: "Did the prince come to see me a few days ago?"
Manman was stunned for a moment, then said: "Yes, the prince..."
"Send someone to the East Palace and tell the prince that I want to see him." Qin Zhen said as she walked out, "It's at the same place."
"Princess, now?"
"Yes, now!"
"But Princess, you just came back, and you didn't even have time to take a sip of water." Manman was a little worried, "You have been running around all day, you need to rest."
"There's no time to rest!" Qin Zhen couldn't help but speed up her steps, "I don't have that much time."
If she delays for a while longer, Lou Yan will be in more danger.
She held the letter tightly in her hand.
This letter was sent back by Qin Da.
The predicament Lou Yan is facing now is not only a serious shortage of food and grass, but also being alone. She must solve this problem, otherwise Lou Yan will not survive even if he gets food and grass.
She arrived at the tea shop and waited. Halfway through drinking a cup of tea, there was a noise at the door.
Looking up, seeing that it was the prince, Qin Zhen forced out a smile with some difficulty: "Your Highness, are you here?"
Xiao Jue's expression was a bit unpleasant, and when he sat down opposite her, his eyes were cold.
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and said, "Is Your Highness angry because I didn't see you last time?"
Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen steadily and said slowly: "Sometimes, I really wonder if you are deliberately playing tricks on me?"
"Your Highness!" Qin Zhen's eyes were a little red and her tone was a little serious, "How could you doubt me so much?"
"I'm afraid that meeting you too many times will arouse His Majesty's suspicion. I will spend lonely days alone, but in the end you will doubt me? You are too sad."
Xiao Jue frowned: "Are you really doing it for me?"
"Then who else can I do it for?" Qin Zhen's chest heaved and her tone was a little angry, "Do you really think that I am a rich lady raised in a boudoir who doesn't know anything? Don't forget, my father is by His Majesty's side.
Man, my eldest brother also lives in Dali Temple. What I want to know is not difficult."
Xiao Jue's eyes moved, and his eyes when looking at Qin Zhen were not as cold as before, but he still said nothing.
Qin Zhen seemed not to notice the change in his eyes, and continued: "I know that you have been fighting with Xiao Yao for a long time, and he has made you suffer a lot. At this time, if you are on an errand,
You made a wrong step and Xiao Yao used it as an excuse, so what are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty treats you..."
Qin Zhen's words stopped abruptly, then she looked away and said angrily: "Forget it, I think too much, it's all my own fault."
When Xiao Jue heard this, the coldness in his eyes had completely disappeared.
Qin Zhen had almost never mentioned this in front of him, but now he knew that Qin Zhen understood his situation clearly and even thought a lot about him.
In the past, he only thought that she didn't understand anything...
"I'm sorry," Xiao Jue stretched out his hand to hold Qin Zhen's and said softly, "I didn't see you last time, so I felt a little uncomfortable. I was confused and didn't expect you to pay so much for me."
"Zhen Zhen, don't be angry, okay?"
Qin Zhen pursed her lips but remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Jue planned to wait for her to calm down before coaxing her, so he changed the subject directly: "Why did you take the initiative to come to me this time? Did something happen?"
His question was exactly what he wanted.
Qin Zhen immediately said: "There is something I don't understand, and I want to ask you personally."
"I went to the palace the day before yesterday to ask for a reward from my father, and I heard something..."
"Are you asking for a reward from your father? What are you asking for?" Xiao Jue immediately interrupted, frowning tightly, "You are always so willful and reckless. If you are rejected by your father, how can you gain a foothold in the capital?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Qin Zhen closed her eyes, resisted the urge to hit, and said softly: "No matter what good things your father has, I will ask for a share. Even if I don't ask for them, my father will keep them for me. But I can
I feel that my father likes me to ask for it."
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, then became speechless.
He looked at Qin Zhen, looking a little embarrassed. After a while, he said: "I am doing it for your own good, because I am afraid that you will be disliked by the emperor. You also know that in this capital, it is difficult to be disliked by the emperor."
Qin Zhen gave a perfunctory hum and said, "I understand, can I say something now?"
Xiao Jue: "... Just tell me."
"I asked my father for some beads from southern Xinjiang, and I talked about the matter in southern Xinjiang with him. My father undoubtedly revealed in his words that something happened there." Qin Zhen's eyes were straight.
Look at Xiao Jue and don't miss any expression on his face.
When Xiao Jue heard that something happened in Southern Xinjiang, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised: "Didn't the news of success come in succession? How could something happen?"
Qin Zhen's face showed just the right amount of confusion: "Your Highness doesn't know about this?"
Xiao Jue looked confused: "Why do I know?"
Qin Zhen: "...Ah, this, that, that's nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."
When Xiao Jue heard this, he frowned: "Zhen Zhen, tell me what happened."
Qin Zhen looked a little embarrassed and didn't speak.
Xiao Jue: "This matter is very important. If you know anything, you must tell me."
Qin Zhen thought for a while, and finally said cautiously: "I thought... His Highness was responsible for what happened in Southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Jue: "...What on earth is going on?"
"I heard that there is a problem with food and grass. There is no food in southern Xinjiang." Qin Zhen said.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jue's pupils trembled, and he blurted out: "Who, Liangcao is also moved and wants to die?"
Qin Zhen narrowed her eyes and continued: "It's not just food and grass."
Xiao Jue stood up suddenly: "What else?"
"What the father means... It seems that the prince is trapped alone, but the reinforcements have not arrived. It seems that he wants to drag the prince to death." Qin Zhen looked up at Xiao Jue and said softly, "The last time I saw the father, he
With a sad look on his face, he probably doesn’t know who to send to southern Xinjiang to replace the delayer and rescue the prince."
