Under the comfort of the county magistrate's wife, Qian Yong gradually calmed down, adjusted his clothes, and said: "Let's go, madam, you come with me to meet the little princess!"

lobby.

Mingyan drank tea slowly and glanced at the steward who was kneeling on the ground in front of her: "Your magistrate came a little late."

"Princess, please forgive me! Your Excellency, he must have come here to see the princess. He must be well prepared. Princess, please wait a moment!"

The steward had already been frightened to death by Mingyan and stammered.

What day is it today! He actually allowed a princess from far away in the capital to visit Jinling City!

Mingyan said nothing and knocked on the table impatiently, which frightened the steward again.

"Your Highness the Princess! Your Highness the Princess! I am so flattered by your visit to Jinling City! Look, this humble house has become full of glory!"

There was an exaggerated voice, and the steward breathed a sigh of relief, and said hurriedly: "Master, you are finally here! Her Royal Highness the Princess is coming to see you!"

Qian Yong ignored the steward and just looked at Mingyan in an extremely flattering manner.

Mingyan snorted coldly: "What? The county magistrate has been in Jinling City for a long time and has forgotten the rules?"

"I don't dare to forget, I don't dare to forget." Qian Yong quickly apologized and said with a smile, "I was negligent. I wish you the best of luck to your Highness the Princess."

Mrs. Qian also said hurriedly: "My wife, please see Your Highness the Princess. May Your Highness be blessed and safe."

Mingyan remained silent, leaving Qian Yong and Mrs. Qian in an embarrassing posture in front of Mingyan.

After a long time, Linlang coughed lightly.

"That's it, get up."

When the two heard Mingyan's words, which seemed like an imperial edict, they quickly straightened up.

"Sit down. I am here with my father's will."

Mingyan stared at the two of them coldly.

Qian Yong felt cold in his heart and secretly cursed: Could it be that the Holy One saw something?

While he was making trembling guesses, he saw Mingyan suddenly stand up and take out a bright yellow imperial edict from her arms.

"The imperial edict has arrived!!!"

Qian Yong was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud and crawled to the ground.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Due to a sudden heavy rain in Jinling City, the farmland was flooded, and a special princess was sent here to temporarily manage it. I hereby express my gratitude!"

Mingyan's cold voice sounded like a death sentence to Qian Yong's ears.

Qian Yong opened his mouth wide and didn't even have time to react. He just stood there stunned.

Linlong immediately took a step forward and shouted angrily: "How presumptuous! The emperor is so kind and you still don't thank me!!!"

Qian Yong kowtowed as if he had just woken up from a dream and said, "I accept the decree." "Okay." Mingyan closed the decree again and looked at Qian Yong with sharp eyes, "Just now, Lord Qian, Mr. Qian and his steward have asked me many times about the deep meaning of my coming here. Now, do you two understand?"

"understand"

Qian Yong's face turned pale and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Since Lord Qian knows, I will leave first." Mingyan stood up and walked towards the door. Suddenly she stopped again, paused, and said in a cold voice, "I think Lord Qian must be in Jinling." Cheng Cheng has been the county magistrate for some time, and he must be a smart man. He naturally knows the consequences of disobeying the will, so I will not emphasize it anymore."

Mingyan smiled slightly and left.

Qian Yong looked at Mingyan's leaving back, his face turned pale, and he slumped to the ground. He kept muttering "It's over", "It's over", "Now the Holy One will hold me accountable again."

In the end, Mrs. Qian lifted Qian Yong up with a pale face and slowly helped him inside.

After a while, Mingyan also walked out of the county magistrate's mansion. She smiled, nodded towards Linlang and Linlong beside her, and praised, "Well done."

. . . . .

After Mingyan left and Mrs. Qian helped her back to the room, Qian Yong's originally pale face regained some color. He trembled with purple lips and said tremblingly:
"Why did the emperor do this?"

Qian Yong looked at the empty door and sighed.

"Why did the master say this?"

Mrs. Qian looked puzzled and full of confusion.

Qian Yong shook his head and suddenly said angrily: "You woman just don't understand the reason for this! It would be fine if the emperor sent the eldest prince and the second princes! But the emperor just sent the apple of his eye, the little princess, which he regarded as a treasure , it makes sense to say that the emperor knows something and needs to be investigated strictly, and it makes sense to say that the emperor wants to give me a chance to change my ways and be dealt with lightly.

As a lower official, I am increasingly unable to understand the emperor’s thoughts! "

Mrs. Qian was not annoyed and just asked: "Master, now that the little princess is here, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Qian Yong's face became even more gloomy. He pushed himself up and sat up, waved his hand towards Mrs. Qian, and said: "It's useless, it's useless! The little princess now represents the face of the Tian family! We are here at this moment If we do anything else, it will be an attempt to cover up the situation. Not only will we not be able to clear it up, but it will further solidify our accusation of incompetent governance!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian also looked as frustrated as Qian Yong: "In this way, we can only sit back and wait for death."

"Having said that, if the little princess has no real talent and knowledge, and just comes to inspect for a while and then goes back to report to the emperor, then we are lucky enough to escape!" Thinking of this, Qian Yong's face changed. A look of contempt immediately appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly, "Even if the little princess is noble, she is still a woman, so how can she compare with the brains of a man? Madam, just watch, this time we It will definitely be safe and sound.”

Mrs. Qian also hurriedly echoed: "What the master said is true, we will definitely be safe and sound."

Just as the couple was breathing a sigh of relief, they suddenly saw the housekeeper staggering in from outside and said:
"Master! Master! Something bad has happened! Her Royal Highness, the little princess, is heading to the market. She is offering a large reward to anyone who can explain the situation in Jinling City in the past few months!!!"

Qian Yong waved his hand with disdain, snorted coldly, and regained his previous confidence: "It's just a set of information! What can he do!"

The housekeeper said quickly: "No! Master! This is not the most important thing! Her Royal Highness the Princess also said that if several people's opinions are the same, then they will all be rewarded with gold; if one of the several people's opinions is the same as others, they will be rewarded with gold. If it’s not the same, then I’ll behead them all!”

"What!" Qian Yong was shocked, "What should I do now!"

Originally, he thought that since he was a citizen of Jinling City, he knew the consequences of betraying him, and he didn't need to worry about it.

But when the little princess did this, didn't it cut off his way of survival? !
