Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

After this episode, the carriage was back on the road.

Inside the carriage, Shen Jingyi looked at King Xuan with a bit of confusion and asked, "Tell me, how could a little girl like her be so good at these things? Did she learn this from a storybook?"

King Xuan laughed, "What are you thinking? She didn't learn these tricks from books. These are her father's personal experiences. Now those two extraordinary women are still staying in her backyard!"

Shen Jingyi suddenly realized, clapped her hands and said, "Oh, I see, this is what her father taught her by example."

"That's right," King Xuan continued, "The situation in her backyard is also very complicated, with a lot of illegitimate sons and daughters.

If it weren't for her powerful maternal family, she and her mother would have been eaten up long ago.

They won’t live so comfortably, offending this person today and that person tomorrow.”

"Hearing your description, it seems that neither the mother nor the daughter are good-tempered people." Shen Jingyi sighed.

King Xuan nodded and said, "You are right. They are not easy to mess with, and they have killed people."

Shen Jingyi was slightly stunned, then asked: "Does Mr. Gao know?"

"I know. He even helped with the aftermath."

King Xuan's face was not very good. It was really despicable that Lord Gao, as a local official, broke the law knowingly.

"Oh, that must be because of her in-laws!" Shen Jingyi said hatefully.

“Yes,” King Xuan explained, “Her maternal grandfather is the second master of the Zhang family, the largest Caoyun Chamber of Commerce in Fengtai Prefecture.

Their family is powerful and has a strong background, so Mr. Gao has to take this relationship into consideration."

Shen Jingyi sighed: "The county magistrate who ruined the family, the prefect who wiped out the clan.

You must investigate this Mr. Gao carefully, he is definitely not a good person."

After hearing what Shen Jingyi said, King Xuan was a little confused.

"Of course, but where did you get the idea of ​​the county magistrate who ruined the family and the prefect who wiped out the clan from coming from?"

"That's not the point, okay?"

Shen Jingyi felt a little guilty. Of course, she had seen these words in modern times, but she couldn't say that.

So she quickly changed her statement.

"What I want to say is that the emperor is far away and the local officials are not supervised by anyone. Over time, they start to do whatever they want, and the people suffer."

"you're right."

The two were still discussing when Chuba's voice suddenly came from outside: "Master, Chuwu is back."

Hearing the news that Chuwu was coming back, Shen Jingyi's heart moved and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Chuwu has always been a steady and prudent person in doing things. This time when he came back, I guess things have been done.

As the carriage slowly stopped, the door was gently pushed open.

I saw Chuwu riding on a tired warhorse, with chapped lips and messy hair, looking very embarrassed.

Obviously, he was rushing all the way just to bring back the news as soon as possible.

Chuwu dismounted swiftly, walked quickly to the front of the carriage, bowed, and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family's man has been found, and he's still alive."

Shen Jingyi was delighted, this was good news.

Then, Chuwu added: “Moreover, my subordinates also found many people with grievances on Yushi Mountain.

These were their personal experiences, which were secretly recorded by their subordinates afterwards.

However, I didn’t dare ask them to sign because I was worried about arousing suspicion.”

After saying that, Chuwu took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed them to Shen Jingyi and King Xuan in the car.

The paper has a slight luster in the sunlight, which makes it particularly eye-catching.

King Xuan took the paper handed to him by Chuwu, and they both quickly flipped through it.

Shen Jingyi's brows gradually furrowed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Every word written on these papers represents a painful memory and an unfair experience.

Looking at these words, her heart was filled with anger and sympathy.

King Xuan also looked at the papers with a serious expression, his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes revealing coldness.

If County Magistrate Gao broke the law knowingly, then Prefect Lin was extremely audacious, disregarding the law and defying the imperial power. He had become a local emperor in Cangzhou.

A dangerous light flashed in King Xuan's eyes, and silent anger secretly rose in his heart.

After a pause, he said softly, "Chuwu, thank you for your hard work. Go eat something and have a good rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, King Xuan said to Chu Ba: "Chu Ba, tell them to rest for half an hour."

Chuba took the order and began to arrange for everyone to rest.

Seeing this, Lin Shubin did not dare to step forward, but secretly guessed that something might have happened ahead, and it looked like it was a serious matter.

Inside the carriage, King Xuan took out paper and pen, and Shen Jingyi was very perceptive and hurried forward to grind ink.

The scent of ink filled the air, and the entire carriage seemed to be shrouded in a sense of urgency.

After a while, King Xuan finished writing the letter. His handwriting was strong and powerful.

He folded the letter carefully, then took out a large envelope and put the papers and letter he brought back on the fifth day together.

Then he summoned a secret guard and whispered, "Send this letter and these papers back to the capital to Censor Wang, quietly."

The man in black took the envelope, followed the order and left, quickly disappearing from sight.

In the car, Shen Jingyi held King Xuan's hand tightly, giving him silent support and encouragement in her own way.

King Xuan felt her care and the warmth from her hands, and his heart was deeply moved. He reached out and held her in his arms, gently hugged her shoulders, and then tenderly kissed the top of her head.

Then he made up his mind and said, "Yier, let's go meet this Lin Zhizhou."

His voice was low and full of determination, and it was obvious that he had a plan.

"Okay, I'll accompany the prince." Shen Jingyi nodded without hesitation. She also wanted to see what kind of person this was.

"But after the matter in Cangzhou is settled, we may have to spend it on the road."

King Xuan frowned slightly, looking apologetic, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"It's okay. When the time comes, we will ride on horseback and let Nanny Qin and the others follow slowly behind us."

Shen Jingyi answered with a smile, as if it was no big deal.

But it's not a big deal, just a little harder, but she is willing to do it.

"Okay, I'll take you with me then."

King Xuan looked at Shen Jingyi's smile and his mood suddenly improved.

"Yeah." She responded softly, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation, and a happy smile on her face.

Then King Xuan raised his hand and made a simple gesture.

In an instant, an ordinary-looking man quietly appeared beside the carriage.

"Your Highness." The man bowed slightly, his tone showing respect for King Xuan.

"Send the message back and ask Sixteen to come over to protect the concubine." King Xuan ordered in a serious tone.

The man took the order and left immediately. His figure disappeared outside the carriage as quickly as a gust of wind.

Shen Jingyi watched this scene and became more and more curious about King Xuan's arrangements.

So he couldn't help but ask, "Prince, who is Sixteen?"

King Xuan looked at Shen Jingyi and explained patiently: "She is a secret guard and her skills are pretty good. Let her stay by your side to protect you in the future."

Shen Jingyi asked in confusion: "Oh, aren't the secret guards always in the dark? How come they suddenly appeared?"

King Xuan smiled and replied, "It depends on the situation. If necessary, they can also move to the open."

There was a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Shen Jingyi nodded thoughtfully, then curiously glanced at the palace soldiers following behind, and asked softly: "Are there any secret guards among them?"

King Xuan nodded slightly and answered affirmatively, "Yes." His tone was calm and firm.
