Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Towards evening, Maoping prepared the carriage to inspect the grain.

However, although Murong Xuan used to just go through the motions to fool people, if he wanted people to believe him, he had to do it very well.

So Maoping very thoughtfully prepared a four-horse carriage. The big black horses pulling the carriage had smooth fur, and the various accessories outside the carriage were also extremely luxurious. One could tell at first glance that the person riding in the carriage was someone who was used to enjoying life, not someone who could do anything.

Even Murong Xuan couldn't help but twitching his lips when he saw the carriage.

Shen Xiyue asked Mao Ping for a set of guard's clothes to change into. As soon as she went out, she saw the guards brought by Murong Xuan lined up on both sides of the road.

He was standing under an osmanthus tree, dressed in white, tall and thin. Occasionally, the breeze would ruffle his hair, and the falling osmanthus flowers would land on his body, leaving spots of gold, making him even more charming than the legendary nine-tailed fox fairy.

The group took a carriage to the dock. Shen Xiyue stood up to get off, but Murong Xuan held her and told her to pull him back into his arms.

The prefect was outside reporting: "Your Highness, the grain ships are full to the brim, emptying the granaries that have been stockpiled for many years! Please check it, Your Highness!"

Murong Xuan coughed a few times through the car curtain and ordered with a breath: "Maoping, go check it out."

Mao Ping quickly responded: "Yes!"

He went to the grain ship and pretended to pick out a few bags of grain to check them. Then he reported loudly: "Your Highness, the grains are full. The prefect prepared them. They are all top-quality grains."

So Murong Xuan didn't even get off the carriage and praised the prefect.

This is the end of the inspection of food.

When we went back, Mao Ping was the driver.

He whispered, "Your Highness, I have checked and found that the five ships of grain only have a layer of good grain on top, and the sacks at the bottom are filled with stones to make up the number."

Although he knew this, Murong Xuan still smiled sarcastically after hearing this.

But this laughter made Mao Ping feel creepy. Then he heard Murong Xuan say, "Tens of thousands of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are waiting for food relief, but he dares to use such a dirty trick."

Shen Xiyue was no stranger to disaster relief. After all, she had made inquiries from many sources for Qi Xun in her previous life.

Originally, this task was not difficult, because floods occurred in Jiangsu and Zhejiang almost every year, and the local ministers were all experienced.

Matters such as providing free porridge, providing free medical consultations, rebuilding houses and fields for the people, etc., as long as the money and food from the court are delivered in time and the reconstruction work is carried out according to the procedures, there will be no mistakes.

But King Yao and his men were so cruel as to tamper with the food.

There is something wrong with the disaster relief food. If Murong Xuan finds out on the spot, he will have to stay here any longer. Whether he puts the prefect of Zhuozhou in jail or transfers food from other places, it will be a waste of time.

Even if we can afford it here, we can't afford to delay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Otherwise, it will not only be a problem that the people affected by the disaster will not have enough food to eat, but if the disaster reconstruction is not done well, there is a fear that a plague will break out, and the people will be displaced.

If the matter gets out of hand, someone will be held accountable, and the crime of failing to provide disaster relief will fall on Murong Xuan.

If this batch of problematic grain had not been found, then when it reached Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the disaster-stricken people would be starving for relief, but the prince in charge of disaster relief would take out a few boatloads of stones. Wouldn't that just arouse the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, and lead to even greater riots?

How can he keep his position as crown prince if he loses the support of the people?

King Yao's move really puts people in a dilemma.

Shen Xiyue, a girl in the boudoir, could think of these things, and Murong Xuan and Mao Ping naturally knew about it.

Mao Ping felt his scalp go numb, and hurriedly said, "Fortunately, Your Highness had the foresight to transport the grain from the national treasury from Tongzhou Wharf, so that the disaster relief would not be delayed."

Murong Xuan said calmly: "After the ship leaves tomorrow, send a letter to Prime Minister Song to explain the matter of Zhuozhou. The country has its own laws. If the prefect Zhao insists on seeking death, I can't stop him."

Mao Ping quickly responded: "Yes."

Shen Xiyue felt a little distressed. Disaster relief was not a difficult task, but the difficult part was the people who made troubles. It was hard to guard against these people.

Some people and things are clearly traps, such as Qin Qing and disaster relief food. The best way is to keep quiet to avoid further complications.

Mao Ping's voice outside has not stopped: "Also, I intercepted the letter sent by the county lady, it was written to..."

Murong Xuan waited for a long time but nothing came of it. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What? You're not going to continue saying that you're waiting for me to beg you?"

Mao Ping said quickly, "Yes, it was... written to the Gu who was in love with Prince Qi."

Shen Xiyue was startled and immediately stood up from Murong Xuan's arms...Gu family?

Gu Zhilan? !

Shen Xiyue's expression suddenly became heavy. Gu Zhilan's reputation in the capital was already ruined, and she had fled to Jiangnan. So why would Qin Qing still be in contact with Gu Zhilan?

Could it be that Gu Zhilan was also involved in King Yao’s sabotage of disaster relief?

Shen Xiyue suddenly felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart.

She had experienced how terrifying Gu Zhilan was. In her opinion, Gu Zhilan's character was extraordinary, she was patient and aggressive and never gave up. More importantly, she had many skills that she had never even heard of, making it difficult for others to resist.

But now, disaster relief cannot go wrong...

Murong Xuan glanced at Shen Xiyue's reaction and narrowed his eyes.

He didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought that she was still immersed in the entanglement between Qi Xun and Gu, which was why she reacted like this.

He unconsciously curled the corners of his lips, his eyes became warmer, and he didn't know whether he was interested or angry at her.

"A Gu family makes you so excited? He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her chin and pulled her to him: "Why, you still don't give up, are you hating her again?"

At this point, Shen Xiyue didn't want to have any misunderstandings with him on this matter, so she endured his verbal humiliation and said, "Your Highness, let me go and listen to me..."

Murong Xuancai refused to let go: "Why, did I get it right?"

Shen Xiyue was anxious, afraid, and annoyed. She was so angry that her eyes turned red: "...It hurts!"

Murong Xuan loosened his hands suddenly, feeling a little uncomfortable. He just pinched her, why was she so delicate and crying again?

Shen Xiyue finally regained some dignity. She glared at him fiercely, but she really felt that now was not the time to argue with him, so she said anxiously:

"This Gu is not an ordinary person... Qi Xun said that she claimed that she was not from this era and had some abilities. She knew that she had no one to rely on, so she always hid her abilities in the past.

I suspect that she was also involved in sabotaging disaster relief efforts."

"What do you mean you are not from this era?" Murong Xuan didn't understand.

After a pause, he continued in a slow voice, "I've asked someone to check on the girl named Gu. She was originally a farm girl from the outskirts of Beijing. Two years ago, her personality suddenly changed drastically and she fell into a brothel. Apart from her love of poetry and songs, there seems to be nothing unusual about her."
