"This time, I am ordered by the emperor to go to Dingjun Prefecture in the south to provide disaster relief. My return date is uncertain. All matters of the palace are handed over to the princess. If you have any problems, just go to the princess directly. Also, try not to go out during this period of time, and take care of the children." Prince Rui said calmly.

What? The prince is going to provide disaster relief! ?

Hearing this, everyone at the scene suddenly became uneasy.

They knew about the flood in the south, and had talked about it before, but basically no one took it seriously. After all, it had nothing to do with them. But now the prince said he was going to provide disaster relief! ?

This, this, this! Everyone was shocked for a moment.

Why would the Emperor arrange for the prince to go?

Apart from the princess, only Qin, who was sensitive to politics, knew what had happened.

After all, Qin was the nephew of Concubine Xian, and she had known much more than most people at the scene. She looked at Prince Rui with concern. Perhaps the prince had no choice but to provide disaster relief this time? It must be that the other brothers who were not on good terms with the prince and the court officials had joined forces to devise a plan, and the prince had to go under pressure!

But the flood front in the south must be very dangerous!

The audience was silent.

Hearing the prince's words, everyone was a little flustered. What happened?!

The princess's face was also full of worry at the moment. The prince's trip this time would inevitably be full of dangers. The front line was dangerous, and he had to be on guard against sneak attacks and assassinations in the rear. The princes in the court were not pushovers, especially the third prince, Prince Chen, who was extremely at odds with the prince. He would definitely not let go of this opportunity!

After the prince told her last night, she became very worried.

But she naturally did not forget the main purpose of coming here today. Seeing the prince glance at her, the princess calmed down and said, "This time the prince will be in Dingjun Mansion for a long time, so we must send at least one person to take care of the prince. Who wants to go?"

As soon as the princess finished speaking, everyone in the room was trying to reduce their presence, fearing that their names would be called.

After all, as the mistress of the backyard, the princess has to be in charge of the affairs of the backyard. When the prince leaves, someone must stay in the Rui Palace to take charge of the overall situation, so it is impossible for her to accompany the prince. Then, she can only choose someone from among them to accompany him.

Of course, no one wants to go to such a dangerous place. Even if they want to stay with the prince, if they go there and lose their lives, wouldn't that be a loss? Everyone can still distinguish the pros and cons.

Everyone present clenched their hands nervously and said nothing.

The princess observed the reactions of the people below, and seeing that everyone was avoiding him, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. They usually wanted to stick to the prince, but now they have all become mute.

This incident is just right, and I can use it to let the prince see clearly how many people are truly loyal to him besides his first wife.

Qiao Rongjin's expression was still calm, not nervous at all. He even had the mood to look up and observe everyone's expressions. He saw that everyone was so nervous that they didn't speak. Even Yan, who usually danced the most happily, was now silent.

Tsk tsk tsk! So scared!

However, this is indeed scary. She is afraid too. After all, this journey is full of dangers, including assassinations and plagues. But she knows the plot!

This time when Prince Rui went to provide disaster relief, the person accompanying him was not anyone present, but the heroine.

Knowing this, Qiao Rongjin was not nervous at all. How could Prince Rui think highly of them? The only person he wanted to accompany him was the heroine, and he didn't want any outsiders to accompany him.

However, she has a God's perspective, so it is normal that she is not afraid, and it is also normal for the people at the scene to behave like this. After all, no one wants to die.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, waiting for the next words from the two people at the top.

Not only the princess was observing the reactions of the people below, but Prince Rui himself was as well.

Seeing that everyone avoided his gaze and remained silent, this was all within his expectations.

After all, no one is not afraid of death. Although he made careful arrangements this time, the possibility of accidents was still very high, and he was not completely sure that he could protect everyone from harm.

However, although I understand it, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Ok?

Prince Rui paused and his gaze suddenly fell on Qiao Rongjin.

Why... isn't she worried at all? She even has the energy to stare at other people.

Thinking of the two times he met her in the garden, Prince Rui couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

The Qiao family seems to be different from before.

Realizing that he was thinking of Qiao, Prince Rui shook his head violently to disperse the thoughts in his mind.

Just as King Rui was thinking, someone spoke.

"My Lord, My Lady Princess, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Hearing the sound, everyone looked up.

It’s An.

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui glanced at An Shi, his expression unchanged, and said directly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, An straightened her back and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I think Sister Chen should go with Your Majesty this time. After all, we have seen Sister Chen saving people before. Her methods are very clever. I believe she has other ways to save people. With Sister Chen's assistance, Your Majesty will surely be able to do things very smoothly."

As soon as An finished speaking, the scene became quiet again.

Qiao Rongjin looked at An in surprise. This time An's words were quite sophisticated. What she said hit the mark exactly what everyone wanted. No one wanted to go, so they had to put forward a scapegoat. It just so happened that Chen had revealed that she had some knowledge of medical skills when she saved someone before. Now An brought it up again. There was no way everyone would not seize this opportunity.

Sure enough, the next second, Qiao Rongjin heard Dao Yan's voice, "Yes, Sister An is right. Sister Chen knows medical skills and can help the prince if she goes. Unlike us, we know nothing about medical skills and would be a hindrance if we go."

She didn't want to go, and it just so happened that An came out to be the bad guy first, so she just went with the flow.

Hearing this, the princess was rarely satisfied with An. It would be best if Chen could leave. She had forgotten about her just now. If she wanted to get rid of her, wasn't now a good opportunity?

After hearing what An said, Prince Rui looked at her with some displeasure, but did not say anything.

An naturally also saw the look in the prince's eyes, but although she was afraid, she would not back down. Chen had humiliated her and almost killed her. This time, she had to retaliate no matter what, otherwise she would not be reconciled.

Then, the remaining few people also began to assist.

"Yes, Sister Yan and Sister An are right. It is the best choice for Sister Chen to follow the prince this time. She can take care of the prince and help him in other ways. It is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!"
