When Lou Yan came back from the palace, the first thing he did was to find Linglong and ask Linglong to count the property in the house and clear out everything he could get his hands on.
But after Linglong cleared away the property in the house, Lou Yan frowned when he looked at the pamphlet presented to him: "Why is there only such a small amount?"
Linglong was helpless and said: "Last time, the prince was robbed in southern Xinjiang and was in need of food and grass. The slaves had sold everything in the house that could be sold for money, and they were all used to raise food and grass to send to southern Xinjiang. Now these are the prince's return from southern Xinjiang.
, a new reward from His Majesty."
Lou Yan's face looked a little ugly. For the first time, he realized that he was so poor.
Linglong looked at his face and said cautiously: "Actually, there is something else that I wanted to say a long time ago."
Lou Yan looked up at her: "What?"
Linglong coughed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you know that our family is poor and has little money. The princess sent the grain and grass to southern Xinjiang with the help of the princess."
She recounted those days when Qin Zhen was running around raising money and food, and then took out a pamphlet and handed it to Lou Yan, saying: "At that time, the princess said that the slaves should take the flowers, but she never mentioned it after that.
We were asked to pay it back, but I still kept an account and recorded all the money given by the princess, and it is all in this book."
"At that time, the princess was more anxious than the slave. She lost a lot of weight because of her busy schedule. It took her a long time to gain some weight back."
Lou Yan held the account book in his hand tightly, his expression dark and unclear.
It turned out... Qin Zhen had done so much for him.
When he was fighting desperately in southern Xinjiang, he was not alone. Qin Zhen had been supporting him in her own way and staying with him in another way.
Lou Yan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a little more bloodshot eyes.
He slowly opened the account book, and when he saw the huge number on it clearly, his whole heart seemed to be held in Qin Zhen's hand, beating wildly uncontrollably, but
I didn't dare to dance too fiercely, so I could only suppress it.
This money... must be all Qin Zhen's, right?
No, it should be more than that. She also thought of other ways to raise money.
Lou Yan looked at the account book, then looked at his family property, and found that all his property combined was not enough to pay off Qin Zhen's debt.
Thinking of this, Lou Yan only felt frustrated.
Linglong watched his expression change and couldn't help but ask: "Prince, why do you suddenly want to count your property?"
Could it be that the prince wants to pay back the debt?
Lou Yan looked up at Linglong and said with a numb expression: "This is the betrothal gift for Zhen Zhen..."
Linglong's eyes suddenly widened, and she said almost incoherently: "Bow, dowry? Princess, did she nod? Did she really agree?"
Lou Yan pursed his lips and said softly: "Although she hasn't nodded yet, but... in short, prepare in advance."
After what he did today, Xiao Chengye would definitely not let him wait too long. Therefore, it was necessary for him to prepare the betrothal gift in advance so that he would not be in a hurry by then.
Unexpectedly, after checking the accounts, I discovered that I was a poor guy and still owed money.
Linglong was so happy that she wanted to jump in circles twice: "Finally, the prince can finally get his wish..."
Lou Yan looked at her leisurely: "Why should I marry her?"
exquisite:"……"
Linglong thought for a while and said in a muffled voice: "This... seems really unreasonable."
She could understand what her prince was thinking.
He values the princess so much, he must want to marry the princess in a glamorous manner, and he will never let her suffer the slightest injustice.
But now, he can't even get a decent betrothal gift, and he still owes the princess money.
No matter how you think about it, it makes no sense.
Lou Yan suddenly threw away the account book in his hand, stood up and walked out.
Linglong: "Prince, where are you going?"
Lou Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Go to Dali Temple!"
He was going to find the person who had embezzled the army rations and asked him to vomit out everything he had eaten. In this way, he could use the money to pay off the money he owed Qin Zhen.
As for the betrothal gift, he would think of another way.
Linglong looked at the murderous back of her prince, and tsked in her heart, and said to herself: "If you influence the prince to marry the princess, even if the King of Heaven comes, I will never let you off lightly."
She felt a little sorry for that person.
——
Dali Temple.
Qin Yi happens to be on duty today.
Qin Yi was in charge of the trial of the case of Liu Changsong's men embezzling grain and grass. He had been locked up in Dali Temple, but those people were very tight-lipped. No matter how they tried, they just refused to prosecute, so the case had been delayed for more than half a year.
They dragged Lou Yan back.
Qin Yigang came out of the prison in Dali Temple and was about to wash his hands and change clothes when he saw a tall figure walking not far away.
At first glance, that figure is very annoying.
When the people came closer, Qin Yi snorted coldly in his heart: Third Prince, no wonder he is so annoying.
However, etiquette still needs to be observed.
"Why is the prince here?" Qin Yi said politely, "My Dali Temple is simple, so don't dirty the prince's clothes."
Lou Yan ignored his weirdness and got straight to the point: "Where is Liu Changsong?"
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "The prince wants to see him?"
Lou Yan nodded: "I want to talk to him about something."
Qin Yi was a little embarrassed: "Liu Changsong is an important criminal. Without His Majesty's oral instructions, others cannot bring him to trial privately."
Lou Yan: "If something happens, I'll take the responsibility."
Qin Yi frowned and wanted to stop him, but saw that Lou Yan had already bypassed him and went to the prison.
Several people nearby who were also Dali Temple officials looked at each other and at the same time looked at Qin Yi and asked: "What should I do? Should I stop him?"
Qin Yi sneered: "Stop, can you stop me?"
One of them shuddered and said, "I don't dare! Before I went to Southern Xinjiang, I was a living king of hell. After I went to Southern Xinjiang, my aura became more and more terrifying."
"However, this is the first time I've heard him speak." Another person couldn't help but say, "I suspected he was mute before."
The man looked at Qin Yi and said, "Master Qin has a lot of face. Even the prince gives you a little face, and you talk too much."
Qin Yi: "..."
Thinking about it carefully, with so many people here, it seems that the third prince really only said a few words to himself.
He sneered in his heart and thought to himself: Where is his face? The person who really has the most face is his sister.
No matter how cold and aloof this prince is, he can't stop him from moving his heart and insisting on getting his hands on his sister.
Qin Yi let those people go first and turned around and entered Dali Temple: "I have to watch, but don't let him cause trouble."
Although he didn't know what Lou Yan wanted to do, but looking at his expression, he knew it was not a good thing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Yi walked into the prison, he heard a hysterical scream not far away.
