Chapter 4

"Princess, it's time to get up, the princess is still waiting."

A familiar voice made the sleepy Huo Hanyan open his eyes, and the exquisitely carved epiphyllum wooden bed top came into view.The soft bedding makes the body that has not been touched for a long time feel a little lazy.Stretching up a little weakly, what came into view was my favorite hibiscus totem connected to the bed curtain with gold and silver threads, and there were peonies in full bloom on the window sill, and a faint agarwood overflowed from the incense burner rippling in the room.

"My seat promises Er three years of longevity, let you go back to the beginning of everything, would you be willing?" '

Huo Hanyan vaguely remembered what the fairy said just before the white light flashed.Suddenly sitting up from the bed, looking at everything in front of her in surprise, this is... This is the room in Huo Wang's mansion before she got married!The hand under the quilt pinched his thigh fiercely, and the severe pain penetrated from his thigh to his mind!Is... Really alive?
"Plain words?"

"Princess, you are awake, and this servant will let someone bring in the washing things immediately." Su Yan just opened the door to see the princess calling her, then smiled and began to explain today's routine.Although Su Yan's appearance is not outstanding, Sheng Zai's eyes are like crescent moons when he smiles, which is extremely pleasing. "This morning, the concubine sent a message that she will take the princess to Tianling Temple to offer incense, so it's not too late."

Tianling Temple?Incense?Huo Hanyan unconsciously rubbed her temples with her hands to clear her mind.

"Su Yan! What year is it today?"

Su Yan frowned when he heard the words, opened the curtain and waited for him to get up, "Could it be that the Princess is in a sleepy state? It's now the fifth year of Yongtai, and it's been more than half a month since the Ninth Prince went to Yuanguo."

half moon?Huo Hanyan was startled, which meant that her husband had already set off for Licheng.Oops!
"Su Yan, pack some things and ask the housekeeper to prepare a fast horse. I want to leave the city immediately." She couldn't care about anything now, she had to go to Licheng immediately.She still remembers very clearly that in the fifth year of Yongtai, the Ninth Lord Ling Jiangyu went to Yuanguo to reach an armistice and negotiate a peace, but the border town was hit by floods rarely seen in a century, and the people were displaced.Xue Yan, the Marquis of Ningyuan, was ordered to go to the disaster relief. Unexpectedly, Xue Yan stagnated in Licheng, withholding the relief funds for several days and not sending them out, resulting in the corpses of tens of thousands of people everywhere. In one night, the three cities in the border city were instantly turned into dead cities, and the Ninth Prince was also detained by the victorious Yuan Kingdom, and almost died.When the news spread to the imperial capital, public grievances boiled over for a while, and in the end Wei Guogong presented the gold medal to save Xue Yan's life, but he lost his title.It wasn't until ten years later that Xue Yan regained all the lost land of the Qian Kingdom on the battlefield, and was named the general of the town.

In this life, she will never allow such a thing to happen again, and her husband should not end up like that.

"Princess?" Su Yan looked suspiciously at Huo Hanyan who was pale and hurriedly washed and dressed.

"Needless to say, get ready right away, and you can tell my concubine for me that I have something urgent to go to Licheng, and I will be back in five or six days soon, and I will apologize to my concubine at that time."

"But..." Su Yan hesitated, she knew that the princess was in a hurry, but there was no sign of what happened today.Didn't you agree with the princess last night to pray for the Ninth Prince?
Huo Hanyan stretched out her hand to look at the bronze mirror, casually and quickly tied a simple bun, took the long whip from the wall and turned around to look at Su Yan, who was still a little dazed, seeing her hesitation.Wei Wei frowned and said sharply: "You don't listen to what the princess said? Why don't you hurry up!"

"...Yes." Seeing that the princess was so determined, Su Yan had no choice but to pack the things he left with hesitation.

There have been many natural disasters in Qian Kingdom these years, and the emperor has prayed to the sky many times to no avail.The Yuan State in the north and the Rong State in the west are ready to move, intending to get their hands on the Guagan State. The court is also divided into two factions, the main fighter and the main fighter. The main fighter is headed by Wei Guogong Xue Qingpeng who holds military power. Eyes hit Yuan and Rong.The Peace Sect, headed by Ninth Prince Ling Jiangyu and Huo King Huo Jinde, advocates peace with the Yuan Kingdom and resists Rong Kingdom's invasion together.

Now the Yuan country army is entrenched hundreds of miles outside Licheng, ready to go.Ninth Prince Ling Jiangyu took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Yuan Country to negotiate in order to reach an agreement and agreement.However, just half a month ago, continuous rains fell around Licheng, causing the river to rise and break the embankment. In an instant, all the farmland and houses were submerged, and the victims were everywhere.Emperor Yongtai immediately ordered Marquis Ningyuan Fuyuan to provide disaster relief, hoping to ease the situation of the people as soon as possible so as to help the Nine Princes negotiate smoothly.

Huo Hanyan traveled quickly all the way, and arrived at the outskirts of Licheng in less than two days. The hungry people were all over the way, and the numb and painful eyes made her feel shocking.In twos and threes, old beggars and women in ragged clothes were digging for tree roots with their skinny mud-covered palms and empty eyes. Not far away, a group of people were fighting a piece of land.Looking at it for dozens of miles, there is no green, and the food that can be eaten has already been poached.Stopping the horse and looking at those scruffy and skinny children, I couldn't help feeling sad.

"Drive!" Huo Hanyan only stopped for a moment, and saw a few hungry people not far away, about to walk towards her.Immediately pulled the horse and rushed to the city, now he is the only one who can save these victims...

This guy Xue Shaochen is just messing around!For personal enmity and personal grievances, it is not a big crime to make a false public benefit, hoarding food.

"Lingling...Lingling...my daughter! Let me go!" A well-dressed old man in front of the Chen Mansion's gate was flushed and wanted to rush into the mansion with brute force. "You return my daughter, I will fight with you."

The guards outside Xie's mansion led the officers and soldiers to throw him out, and two guards shouted sharply: "I have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, dare to break into the place where Lord Hou is staying! I don't want to live anymore! There is no your daughter here? If you don’t leave, let you try our methods.”

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and a hat came out, squinting his eyes with high brows, and looked at the old man with a sneer.Immediately he arrogantly nodded the guard holding the spear, pointed at the old man and said, "Hit me, beat him out, don't disturb the banquet between the magistrate and Lord Hou." How could the old man be the guard's opponent? Underneath, his body was already covered with injuries, and he kept calling his daughter's name in his mouth.The people around were all daring to speak out, and even those who wanted to help were held back. Who could offend the prefect Xie.This Marquis Ning Yuan was even a celebrity in front of the emperor back then. If he was a little careless, he might not be able to go around. It is not easy to live now, so he can't control others.There is no other way but to sympathize.
