Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

He handed the mule to Xiaocao, trotted after it, and looked at the scenery in the mansion as he walked.

After all, I have been to the imperial palace and seen the architectural style of the seventh uncle's imperial manor. So it is not so strange to visit this house with profound heritage and magnificent architectural style.

"What's wrong? I brought you to the border, why are you still looking so ugly?" The Seventh Uncle said with a half-smile as they walked, "You can't be having an objection to me asking you to support the Crown Prince, right? Could it be that you want to support the Third Prince?"

The two walked side by side. Lin Xiaoyue was dissatisfied in her heart and naturally did not want to be polite to the old man. "Tsk, if you are so capable, why don't you just arrange a separate pass for me to guard? You have to make me get involved in your royal family's fight."

"Oh, I can see that." The Seventh Uncle was exposed, but he didn't feel guilty at all. "I am aware of the conflict between you and the Third Prince, so I didn't ask you to lend him a hand. But the Crown Prince is different. Although he has been weak since childhood, he has been brought up by the Emperor himself. Needless to say, he has a broad mind and vision. More importantly, he is kind-hearted. If he can successfully ascend to the throne, it will be a blessing for the country and the people."

Lin Xiaoyue understood the implication of the Seventh Uncle's words. In addition, her impression of the Crown Prince had long been vague. She only vaguely remembered that he was a man with clear eyes and eyebrows. As for the descriptions of men in the novel as "imposing and extraordinary" [for those who have forgotten, please go back to Chapter 418], sorry, no matter how handsome and good-looking the white-faced scholar-type man is, she can't lift him with her hands or carry him on her shoulders. Haha, he is not even qualified to fight with her. Why remember him so clearly? He is not as good as the Seven Wolves.

"Aren't you worried that the Crown Prince will be affected by the conflict between me and the Third Prince? Not to mention providing assistance to the Crown Prince, I'm afraid it will bring him more trouble."

"That's not the case." A cold voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Lin Xiaoyue turned her head suddenly and saw a gentle, handsome man, who looked like a banished immortal, walking towards them step by step.

Lin Xiaoyue turned around suddenly and glared at the Seventh Uncle: Oh my god, why didn’t you tell me that the prince lives in your house?

The Seventh Uncle looked at the sky, the earth, and the air, but he just didn't confront Lin Xiaoyue: Isn't it normal for your own nephew to live in your home?

Lin Xiaoyue: ...Normal shit, what did the third prince say?

The Seventh Prince was very angry and said: I don't like that kid, can't I just not let him stay?

Lin Xiaoyue was speechless: ...This heart is too obviously biased.

Just as Lin Xiaoyue and the Seventh Prince were squint their eyes, the Crown Prince approached with a faint smile, "Greetings, Seventh Prince."

"Well, did you hear what I just said?"

"Yes." The prince did not look embarrassed at all for being caught eavesdropping on their conversation. His tone was calm and frank. He turned around and nodded to Lin Xiaoyue, "I naturally trust the arrangements of the emperor's uncle."

Even though an outsider like Lin Xiaoyue was present, the prince behaved extremely humble and properly in front of the Seventh Uncle. It could be said that no one could find fault with him. No wonder the Seventh Uncle looked at him differently.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although she was annoyed by all the red tape, Lin Xiaoyue could still pretend when it was necessary.

The prince smiled amiably and extended his hand to support Lin Xiaoyue. "My lord, you are too polite. I am honored to have your help. From now on, you and I will be in the same boat. I hope you will not be so polite again."

"Yes" is better. It saves you from having to bow every time, which is very annoying.

Lin Xiaoyue was just following the stick, and when the prince said that, she immediately straightened her back and didn't do that empty talk anymore. After all, the prince had approved it, so she just went with the flow.

The Crown Prince was stunned by her frank and smooth movements, but the Seventh Prince knew too well that Lin Xiaoyue was a careless and unruly person, so he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but roll her eyes and ignored the Seventh Uncle's ridicule.

Now that everyone was present, the three of them moved to the study, closed the door and chattered about how to defend the pass.

During the discussion, in order to test the prince's layout of defense, the Seventh Prince Uncle assigned the prince an "assignment" to write a plan overnight, which would be handed over to the Seventh Prince Uncle for review the next day. After the plan was reviewed and completed, the prince could execute it after going to the pass.

When the Seventh Prince's uncle was testing the Crown Prince, Lin Xiaoyue quickly slipped away.

She doesn't want to be dragged into doing "homework" together, it's terrible!

As for homework, the prince has his own think tank to assist him, and she is just the one who does the hard work. She is afraid that if she uses her brain too much, she will get gray hair early.

Sure enough, when the Seventh Uncle and the Crown Prince finished their tense and serious conversation, they found that Lin Xiaoyue had already slipped away. The Seventh Uncle was so angry that he said he would catch her, and then rushed out of the study in a hurry.

The prince looked at the back of his seventh uncle as he left, but he was not angry. He just felt that although Princess Le'an seemed to be vulgar and unrestrained, she was able to invent powerful gunpowder and improve bows and crossbows. Even his father, who was always serious, praised her a lot when talking about her. She was smart and clever.

Now, he was even brought to the border by the Seventh Prince himself. If he was just an ordinary person, how could he receive such courtesy? He must be no simple person.

But when it comes to her background, the Crown Prince has checked it out, and even the Current Emperor has sent the Black Scale Guards to investigate thoroughly.

Except for the time before he was 14 years old, when his whole family lived in darkness and misery, his personality changed suddenly after he was beaten on the head by his uncle at the age of 14. He even led his family and villagers through dangerous situations again and again on the way to escape famine. After he finally settled down, he took out one secret recipe after another that others dared not even think of, and led a group of people to live a stable and prosperous life from then on.

It's amazing how wonderful life can be.

It's not that I haven't wondered why a person could change so much. But no matter how hard the prince or the emperor's people searched, even the old secrets of the Lin family were dug up, they couldn't find out the reason.

The emperor sighed, remembering that when he was young he had read in a book of strange people and unusual events that many incredible mountain spirits transformed into humans and came into the world to repay their gratitude, or were the result of their ancestors’ dreams, or were rescued and blessed by passing gods... and so on.

In short, the emperor and the prince closed the door in the imperial study and analyzed and speculated on various issues, and finally concluded that it should be the last situation.

After all, everything has a cause and an effect. Nothing happens for no reason. Someone else's explanation changes overnight.

Since it is speculated that it was a god who rescued him, then this person must be a kind person by nature, otherwise how could a god save a bad person?

All in all, the emperor and the prince could not find the reason, and could only attribute Lin Sanya's sudden change to the blessing of the gods.

In this way, as long as what this woman does is beneficial to the Dayuan Dynasty and to thousands of ordinary people, that is enough.
