But who is Li Yuyan? He is the person that His Majesty is paying special attention to now, the pillar of the country that His Majesty once mentioned, and the minister that His Majesty is preparing for the future East Palace.

Therefore, he knew that in the eyes of His Majesty, the Sixth Prince was not as indifferent as he appeared to be.

But he didn't know the Sixth Prince, so he never expressed his attitude. He hoped that this prince would not disappoint others too much.

“His Majesty has sent another minister here. You have just returned from your adventure, so it is not appropriate for you to stay here any longer. You should go back to the capital and recuperate for some time. There will be many places in the Tang Dynasty that will need your service, and you...can’t have any more accidents.” The Sixth Prince looked at the dark and boundless sky, wondering in his heart whether there would be a ray of sunshine there tomorrow.

Li Yuyan raised a faint smile and said, "Sixth Prince, are you afraid that the Crown Prince will take the initiative to attack me here and silence me, so that I won't report him after returning to the capital, leaving him no chance to turn the tables?"

After this incident, Li Yuyan was no longer prepared to hide his ill will towards the prince. Anyway, the time had come.

The Sixth Prince turned his head in surprise and looked at Li Yuyan with a gaze as sharp as lightning. "Little Lord Li, this is not the capital after all. You really have to be careful when you say something."

Li Yuyan smiled coldly, "The Sixth Prince asked me to leave because he was worried that the Crown Prince would harm me, right?"

"I think I underestimated you." said the Sixth Prince.

"Sixth Prince." Li Yuyan pointed at the collapsed dam and looked at him seriously. "Do you think that the East Palace like that can really become a holy monarch in the future, seeking happiness for the people and creating peace for the country?"

The Sixth Prince knew what Li Yuyan wanted to say, but he couldn't answer. He pursed his lips and did not reply.

"Does the Sixth Prince think that this kind of person can still change?" Li Yuyan asked again, mockingly, "Stupidity is incurable, and he is a stupid person without any kindness at all."

"Li Yuyan!" The Sixth Prince stopped him with a stern voice, "What on earth do you want to say?"

"I just hope that Sixth Prince, you will figure out how to reply to His Majesty. Also ask Sixth Prince, do you really have any feelings about these people around you?" Li Yuyan asked softly, pointing to the chaos and the nearby victims who were devastated and crying because of the loss of their blood relatives.

The nearby torches were burning lonely and fiercely under the endless starry sky, but it seemed to be burning the Sixth Prince's heart, making it hot and painful.

He was certainly disappointed with the Crown Prince, and he had never thought of favoring or protecting him. However, if the Crown Prince stepped down because of this incident, the government would definitely be shaken and unstable...

"Whether you still want to maintain the status quo or not, others will not think the same as you." The Fourth Prince and the Linghu family will definitely completely wipe out the Crown Prince's power this time.

I believe Your Majesty also has such an idea.

Li Yuyan wanted to force the Sixth Prince to fight for it on his own initiative. The dam collapsed because of Li Qiangong's shoddy work, but the Fourth Prince might have played a role in it. And why did the dam collapse? Was it really just because of the heavy rain? Why did it happen so coincidentally when the Crown Prince passed by?

He was very angry. Although he was not a kind-hearted philanthropist, no one could accept that the Fourth Prince and his men treated the lives of civilians as a joke for their own desires.

If Abao hadn't helped him in time, it would have been impossible for him to come back safely this time.

"I will give an explanation to those disaster victims and the dead soldiers." The Sixth Prince concentrated, "But I still hope that Master Li can leave here quickly tomorrow."

"Okay!" Li Yuyan agreed. He had not planned to stay here for too long. The Sixth Prince was here, and His Majesty also sent an imperial minister here. What he needed to do now was to return to the capital and visit the relatives of the soldiers who had fallen into the Luosha River with him.

The Sixth Prince looked at him, nodded slightly, turned around, took two steps and then stopped, "Miss Wei... loves you more than gold, you must treat her well."

Li Yuyan closed his eyes slightly, watching the Sixth Prince's silhouette getting smaller and smaller in the night, "That's natural."

Did he also notice the change in Junior Sister's expression? Li Yuyan smiled, walked back to his own tent, and after Wei Bingyan's quick and effective acupuncture to relieve the pain, Wang Tianbao slept soundly at this time, but his complexion was still very bad.

"You guys go back and rest. We'll set off for the capital early tomorrow morning." A Bao's condition made it difficult for him to stay here for long. This was one of the reasons why Li Yuyan nodded and agreed to the Sixth Prince's quick departure.

Li Yuyan and his group set out quickly at dawn the next morning.

They did not harass anyone, and they would not pretend to say goodbye to the prince. After this incident, Li Yuyan was ready to officially turn against the prince. Even though the other party was now of noble status, and even if he had made a big mistake, he was still a prince, but in Li Yuyan's view, the prince was already a dead man, a waste.

He didn't need to mediate with a dead man.

Wang Tianbao had slept for a night and now seemed to be in better spirits, but his head still ached. Wei Bingyan gave him another quick acupuncture injection to relieve his pain.

During the journey, Li Yuyan didn't talk much. Most of the time, he would sit on the camp with Uncle Hai, watching the desolate scenery along the way in silence.

Wei Bingyan was very worried about him, but she couldn't find a good opportunity to ask him why he was so restless.

In fact, what was there to be upset about? It was nothing more than the collapse of the dam and the matter of the prince.

"That idiot is robbing food here?" Wang Tianbao, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth, and his very beautiful eyes with a hint of coldness looked at the short house outside.

They were in a remote village far from the hustle and bustle that had been plundered by the prince.

Guan Mengxin poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's not just here, the civilians in the two or three villages ahead have also suffered."

Wang Tianbao snorted coldly, and a hint of resentment appeared on his handsome face, which had not changed.

"Second Brother, what happened to you that day? Why did you go looking for Third Brother?" Wei Bingyan glanced at the car curtain. Although she couldn't see Li Yuyan, she still couldn't help but take a look.

Wang Tianbao took the cup handed to him by Guan Mengxin. His fingers were long and beautiful as he held the exquisite cup, but he was holding it too hard, so his sharp fingernails turned slightly white. “When we were passing the official road that day, we happened to encounter a landslide. The hard rocks crushed the grains and the soldiers who followed the team.

The prince escaped the disaster because he was the last one to walk, but he didn’t order anyone to rescue people and food, and he ran away with his soldiers. At that time, he felt that I was also trapped in the solid rock..."

After a pause, Wang Tianbao sneered, "If he wasn't so timid and panicked, how could he not have noticed that I narrowly avoided these hard rocks?"

"...After that, I went to look for Xiao San'er. However, when I first saw Xiao San'er, I noticed that he was standing upright on the dam, and cracks appeared on the bottom of the dam. I originally wanted to help Xiao San'er, but I was dragged down instead. Fortunately, we have enough strong true energy and our swimming ability is not bad. Otherwise, we would be like the others and would not even have the chance to recover our lost life."

Wang Tianbao spoke calmly but Wei Bingyan and the others were shocked. They did not witness the situation at that time, but they could imagine how dangerous it was.

They almost couldn't come back.

Wang Tianbao continued, "We don't know where we were washed up to. We can only land with the help of the hard rock..."

He didn't say that at that time they saw the people who fell into the river with them hit the hard rocks in the river, their brains burst out, or they were cut into pieces by unknown objects floating on the water, losing their arms and legs...

Several times, he and his mistress nearly died in the river, but they were able to survive in the end, which was their fate.

At this time, the carriage shook a little, probably because we had arrived at the post station.

After carefully settling down, Wei Bingyan was still worried about Li Yuyan, so she wanted to find him to talk. Unexpectedly, as soon as she appeared in front of his door, she saw him walking outside.

Wei Bingyan was stunned and followed without thinking.

Li Yuyan walked to the animal shed of the post station, and said something to the servant who was raising the horses. Then he led out a majestic tall reddish-brown horse.

Turning around, he saw Wei Bingyan standing upright nearby, looking at him.

He smiled softly, appeared beside her holding the horse, and reached out his hand.

Wei Bingyan placed her hand deep in his palm and was carried to the horse by him. He held her waist and whispered in her ear, "Sit tight."

The tall and fine horse galloped, Wei Bingyan hid her face in Li Yuyan's chest, and the wind blew past.

Wei Bingyan had never been trained to ride a horse, so the shaking was a little uncomfortable. He could only rely on his broad belly to endure the discomfort.

I don’t know how much time passed before the speed slowed down. Wei Bingyan turned around and looked, and there was a little strangeness in her cute little face.

"I want to go and take a look!" Li Yuyan pointed to the top of the mountain and said softly.

This is where the landslide occurred.

He had always suspected that the landslide was not simply caused by the heavy rain, so he wanted to see it for himself.

In fact, after so many days, it is not easy to find any clues. Even if the landslide was not caused by heavy rain, the traces that should have been there would have been repeatedly washed away by the pouring rain.

Li Yuyan seemed to see what she was thinking. He took her hand and walked into the mountain, saying softly, "As long as you do it, there will definitely be traces left."

"Who do you suspect?" Wei Bingyan asked.
