I traveled through time and space to become the mistress of a royal palace. My daily routine is to a

"My lord, think twice, that's Prince Huai, the prince!"

"Yes, sir, the emperor has only two adult sons. If you..."

"Please think twice, sir."

Lan Cheng'an looked at his subordinates who were trying to persuade him with a gloomy face, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

What did he want to do? King Huai knew all the truth, and he thought that as a teenage prince, he would die if he entered the city.

As long as King Huai does not listen to the advice and is infected with the plague and dies in the city, his secret can be completely kept. The dead will not speak!

However, he did not expect that the girl surnamed Song had such great ability to make the medicine. Now the whole situation is putting him in a dangerous situation.

"Okay, everyone, shut up!"

Lan Cheng'an shouted, and the room fell silent. He looked around and then spoke.

"The fact that Prince Huai was infected with the plague has been reported to the court. It is reasonable for us to do this. Otherwise, what if the emperor accuses us of cursing the prince?"

"But..." A man below wanted to persuade him again, but Lan Cheng'an raised his hand to stop him.

"Now that King Huai has saved the people in the city, he must know everything about us. If we let him out alive... do you know what the consequences will be?"

Everyone in the room felt their pain points were touched and they all shut up and kept quiet.

"Humph, we are all tied together now. If we don't do this, we will all be finished!"

Lan Chengan's words hit everyone's heart like a drumbeat. Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads silently.

Seeing that everyone was convinced, Lan Cheng'an nodded with satisfaction.

He called his men and ordered them to massacre the city and leave no one alive!

"Yes, my lord!"

Lan Cheng'an quickly gathered three hundred soldiers, all of whom came to the city gate with weapons. Then he ordered the gate to be opened without hesitation, allowing all the soldiers to enter the city and start the massacre.

The emperor, who was far away in the capital, was shocked when he received Lan Cheng'an's memorial.

"How is it possible? Jin'er was infected with the plague and died?"

Concubine Shun, the biological mother of Prince Huai, who happened to be bringing soup to the emperor, happened to hear it. She put down the tray in her hand and snatched the memorial.

"No, how could Jin'er die? He survived such a serious injury, how is this possible?"

Concubine Shun read the memorial over and over again in disbelief, and after confirming the content was like this, she fainted.

"My beloved, my beloved, please call the imperial physician!"

With the emperor's roar, the entire harem fell into chaos again.

If Zhao Huaijin, who was far away in Gusu City, knew that his mother had fainted from fright, he would probably want to cut Lan Chengan into pieces.

Faced with the sudden appearance of hundreds of soldiers and officers, Zhao Huaijin protected Song Qingwan and the common people behind him.

"Who are you all? Do you know my identity?"

The leading officers and soldiers looked at each other and nodded. One of them walked to the front and drew his knife.

"Where is the prince here? You must have been confused by the plague. How dare you pretend to be a prince!"

"Oh? What are you guys doing here?"

"We are under the orders of Lord Lan to deal with all those infected with the plague in this city to prevent it from spreading to people outside the city."

Zhao Huaijin sneered, what a good way to deal with it, that is massacre!

"You are paid by the state, but you don't perform your duties to protect the people. You actually listened to the traitor Lan Cheng'an and massacred innocent people. You really deserve to die!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come on, don't leave any one alive."

Seeing that these people were about to kill her, Song Qingwan looked at Zhao Huaijin in panic.

"Ajin, what should I do?"

She and Zhao Huaijin were not afraid, but what about these unarmed civilians?

"Fellow villagers, the dog official wants to kill us. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's fight together with the prince!"

With a roar, all the people retreated behind Zhao Huaijin. Some took bricks, some took shovels, ready to fight a desperate battle with the other side.

Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, suddenly a "whoosh" sound was heard, and an arrow shot directly through the head of the officer who had just shouted.

"Don't look!" Zhao Huaijin hugged Song Qingwan into his arms.

The soldier fell straight down, and blood was all over the ground.

"How dare you fight against the prince!"

With a loud shout, hundreds of elite soldiers wearing armor and holding spears surrounded the place. A young man in red clothes with a bow and arrow on his back walked quickly to Zhao Huaijin and knelt on one knee.

"I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The young man stood still, turned around and ordered: "Tie up all these people, and kill anyone who dares to resist!"

"Yes, General!"

All of Lan Chengan's men were soldiers defending the city. They had never seen such a scene before. They dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

"Tie them all up and take them away to await punishment!"

"Yes, General!"

In a short while, Lan Cheng'an's three hundred officers and soldiers were tied up and taken away.

Zhao Huaijin nodded with satisfaction, he walked up and patted the young general on the shoulder.

"Ayu, this time it's all thanks to you."

Yan Yu rolled his eyes helplessly and slapped Zhao Huaijin's hand away.

"Your Highness Prince Huai, please don't launch a surprise attack like this. If I had come a step later, you would have been killed."

"I didn't know Lan Chengan was so brave."

"It's not your fault that you don't know since you are far away in the capital. Lan Cheng'an is the local emperor in Gusu."

"Oh? Is this true?" Zhao Huaijin was surprised.

"Well, I'll tell you slowly when we get back."

Zhao Huaijin nodded. Now was indeed not a good time to talk about this. He pulled Song Qingwan to his side and introduced her to Yan Yu.

"This is Song Qingwan, my fiancée."

Song Qingwan smiled awkwardly. She had been trying to reduce her presence as much as possible since just now, mainly because she looked disheveled and unkempt now.

"Miss Song, my name is Yan Yu." Yan Yu greeted politely and nodded at Song Qingwan.

"He and I grew up together. He is the son of General Yan, and my cousin."

After listening to Zhao Huaijin's introduction, Song Qingwan nodded in understanding. The Yan family was the maternal family of Zhao Huaijin's biological mother, and General Yan was Zhao Huaijin's uncle.

Although the two are cousins, they don't look alike at all. Zhao Huaijin is the older brother but Yan Yu is more mature. He looks like the standard little general with thick eyebrows, big eyes, broad shoulders and long legs.

Perhaps due to years of training, Yan Yu has a darker skin, making him look more manly.

After greeting each other, Yan Yu directed his men to help Zhao Huaijin settle the remaining people, and then they left the city together.

"Ajin, what should we do next?"

Zhao Huaijin curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.

"Ayu, of course we have to go meet Lord Lan."

They got out safely, shouldn’t they go and announce the good news?

As for whether Lan Chengan is happy or not, that’s unknown.
