Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

They rushed back to the city. After entering the city gate, Qiao Shinian slowed down and turned to look at Yue Yu. "Where do Yingzhu and the others live?"

Yue Yu pointed in a direction and said, "I'll take you there."

"Just now." Qiao Shinian wanted to ask who that woman was, but after he uttered two words, he realized that it was inappropriate to ask like that, so he stopped asking.

Yue Yu knew what Qiao Shinian wanted to ask: "It was Concubine Gan who brought the child to the camp to find the prince."

Qiao Shinian nodded, unable to tell whether she was happy or uncomfortable. Overall, she was not as happy as she had imagined.

When she heard about it, she felt that she should be happy. Now that she saw it, she also felt that she should be happy, but she didn't seem to be in the mood.

Perhaps, his attitude towards her was too bad. Regardless of whether they were going to break up or not, at least their friendship of nearly ten years had gone.

"Concubine Gan is very similar to you back then." Yue Yu said this suddenly.

Qiao Shinian didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Like me back then?"

"Yes, behavior, manners, and words." Yue Yu suddenly revealed a scrutinizing smile that Qiao Shinian had never seen before: "Don't you understand yet?"

"What should I understand? Someone is imitating myself and coming to Wen Jiu?" Qiao Shinian began to think about conspiracy theories.

Yue Yu looked at Qiao Shinian for a long time before speaking in a disdainful tone, "Do you think Wen Jiu, who has lived with you for nearly ten years, wouldn't know? If he really wanted to imitate you, there are some things he can't. Why don't you consider the time traveler? A new time traveler has come to him."

Qiao Shinian was speechless in response. Her pupils suddenly widened when Yue Yu mentioned the time traveler.

"So, he doesn't need me anymore." Qiao Shinian murmured, gripping the reins tightly.

I can’t tell whether I feel sad or lost.

Yue Yu tutted softly and tilted her head to look at Qiao Shinian. "Are you really devastated? Perhaps you should think about it from another perspective. Now he has all the power and soldiers he needs. He doesn't need anyone anymore."

If you like him, then you should pull him to your side and make good use of him. If you don't like him, then you should think carefully about how to get the most benefit from your previous relationship.

After all, the one you supported succeeded, but you haven't yet."

Qiao Shinian turned to look at Yue Yu: "Why are you telling me this? Why are you helping me? Aren't you supposed to be Wen Jiu's man?"

Yue Yu shrugged: "Have you forgotten what Wen Jiu said when he sent me to the neighboring Yunzhou? Oh~, you may have forgotten everything about me. After all, I am gone from your world."

"You are a friend of mine and Xiaobai!" Qiao Shinian turned her head to look at Yue Yu with her eyes wide open. She didn't dare to blink, for fear that the person in front of her would disappear after she blinked.

"I'm not who I am now, I will be who I will be in the future. Helping you is just accepting the request of me in your world. After all, it's fun to help my willful self occasionally." Yue Yu smiled, but her eyes were extremely cold.

Qiao Shinian was still confused: "Request? Where did you go from my world?"

Yue Yu's smile faded: "You should worry about your own business first."

The moon rain suddenly stopped, which made Qiao Shinian extremely nervous: "Are you... leaving again?"

"What are you thinking about! The difference between me now and my former self is nine hundred years of world travel. There's no need for me to hide from you now. I don't understand why you're so stupid. Why did my former self care so much about someone being observed?

Also, please don't look at me like that again. It makes me think you're trying to get close to me. My appearance is different in every world, so no matter how you look at me, the me now is not the me in the future." After saying this, Yue Yu dismounted.

"We're here. They live in this courtyard." Yue Yu dismounted. "Besides the advice I just gave you, you can ask them more. They can tell you what I can't tell you."

Qiao Shinian made sure that Yue Yu would not disappear and leave before he knocked on the door with confidence.

"Miss! You... are back." The person who opened the door was Dian Xiang. Although Qiao Shinian was wearing a veil, she still recognized Qiao Shinian the first time she opened the door.

Qiao Shinian smiled and nodded: "Long time no see, I'm back."

"Come in quickly, young lady." Dianxiang quickly took the reins from Qiao Shinian's hand and welcomed her into the house.

Qiao Shinian has a lot of space around him. The yard has two entrances and is not very big, so it can't accommodate many people.

"Yingzhu! The girl is back!" Dianxiang called.

Yingzhu, who was standing upside down in the inner room, immediately turned over and ran out after hearing the sound. She stood at the door and watched Qiao Shinian slowly walk towards her.

Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears. The feelings of grievance and longing surged in her heart, making it difficult for her to restrain her tears. "You are finally back. I thought you would never come back."

"Why are you crying?" Qiao Shinian took two steps forward and wiped away her tears: "How can you not come back?"

"Is it just the two of you? Where's Hehuan? Where's the others? How many people are left?" Qiao Shinian reached out and took them both into the house.

Dianxiang looked at Qiao Shinian, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"By the way, girl, I have good news to tell you. Dianxiang and Qingshan are getting married." Yingzhu said with a smile.

"Ah? Really?" Qiao Shinian turned back to look at Dianxiang in surprise. Dianxiang was Qingshan's nemesis. The lively and cheerful Yingzhu was close to Qingshan, and she had thought they were having an affair.

Dianxiang blushed and nodded, lowering her head: "Yes, he and I have been married for three years."

"Where's Qingshan?"

"He will be back in the evening." Dianxiang did not say where Qingshan was going.

"Hehuan, did you leave?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Yingzhu looked at Dianxiang, her face full of embarrassment: "She...she is imprisoned in the prison."

"Hmm?" Qiao Shinian was puzzled. "Did she commit a crime?"

Light incense and nod.

Qiao Shinian didn't know what the usually taciturn He Huan had done: "Is it serious?"

"Yeah." He lit the incense and nodded again.

Qiao Shinian's expression changed slightly. Did the thing she was worried about happen?

"Then, tell me what happened during the years I was away? Have you noticed Wen Jiu's movements?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Dianxiang looked up at Yueyu.

"It's okay." As soon as Qiao Shinian finished speaking, Yue Yu found an excuse to go out.

"First, let me ask you, do you know why Jiao Xue was beheaded? Did she betray me?" Qiao Shinian was the first to raise his doubts. "Wen Jiu seems to have become distant from me. I can't talk to him."

"Miss, this matter...is actually not complicated. Jiao Xue wants to rebel." Yingzhu shocked Qiao Shinian when she spoke.

After thinking it over, Qiao Shinian asked, "Rebellion? Has she been bribed by other countries?"

"No, let me explain it to you from the beginning." Yingzhu said.

Dianxiang got up and went to make tea for Qiao Shinian.

"After you left, Chu Wen fell into a crisis of being attacked from all sides. All the countries attacked Chu Wen under the pretext of upholding justice.

After resolving Chu Wen's internal troubles within a year, Prince Yongle led his troops to attack Yu Dan, and at the same time assembled a large army led by General Lu to the Chu Yu Kingdom a month later.

To this day, his saying "Speed is the essence of war" is still widely circulated in Chuwen.

Chu Wen hadn't fought a war for almost ten years, and he was fully prepared in all aspects.

When the Zhou State sent troops to support Yu Dan and Chu Wen in their fierce battle, Chu Yu on the other side was defeated by an army of 600,000 and three cities were broken into.

On the battlefield, although Prince Yongle's side had fewer people, the siege equipment they used was extraordinary, and Feng Tianmo's name also became known among several countries.

The battle between the two sides ended with a tragic victory that damaged Chu Wen's vitality. Yu Dan's prince Lan Sheng fled to Zhou State with the remaining defeated troops. After the war between Zhou State and Chu Wen, Zhou State did not gain any benefits from Chu Wen, so it stopped fighting for a while. However, the two countries would go to war from time to time.

The next year, southern Xinjiang surrendered without a fight. King Yongle was praised by many people at that time for taking over southern Xinjiang without spending a single soldier.

In the third year, Prince Yongle and most of the court officials tried their best to manage the people of Chuyu and Yudan, but many people still froze to death in the winter.

In the fourth year, the plague swept through Yudan. Prince Yongle, who was in Yudan, narrowly escaped death and worked with various doctors to solve the plague. It was also because of this plague that Prince Yongle killed and burned many people.

Some people are grateful for his kindness, while some people whose family members have died hate him even more.

The situation did not improve until the fifth year, but from time to time, some people from the destroyed Yudan and Chuyu countries wanted to restore their countries, and Chu Wen finally got a slight reprieve.

Finally, until last year, Chu won a great victory and captured several cities of Zhou.

Jiao Xue was the first female official of Chu Wen. She passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi three years after you left. In just four years, she rose from a seventh-rank official to a second-rank official.

Her ambition is expanding too quickly." Yingzhu looked up at Qiao Shinian when she said this.

"Miss, she wants to overthrow the royal power, which is a heinous crime punishable by extermination of all her clans!" Yingzhu lowered her voice at the last sentence. "Hehuan is foolish. She conspired with Jiao Xue, thinking they could bring down Prince Yongle."

"Ah? No, why would she do this? To bring Wen Jiu down?" Qiao Shinian was shocked, but suddenly thought of something: "Is she pretending to follow me?"

"No, it's true. She swore to the prince that she would protect you." Yingzhu looked at Qiao Shinian with great seriousness, "It's just that she's too stubborn. She believes that you can only be the prince's in this life. She thinks Prince Yongle will get you, so she wants Prince Yongle to never be able to imprison you.

In other words, it doesn’t matter if Prince Yongle has no power or if he has overwhelming power.”

Yingzhu's face showed a trace of sadness. "We were all raised by the prince. We are his closest people. We belong only to him. But he wants you to be happy, but she doesn't agree. She is too stubborn."

"What does Jiao Xue want to do?" Qiao Shinian was still confused about what Jiao Xue had done. "She's not planning to support an ordinary person to become emperor, is she?"

Yingzhu shook her head: "It's more radical than this. She was under the jurisdiction of her father when she was young, and even after she became an official, she was ostracized by male officials.

Because she graduated from an academy, Prince Yongle took care of her in many ways, both openly and secretly, so she was promoted quickly, which also aroused another ambition in her.

She believed that anything a man could do, a woman could do too. So, when she wanted a woman to be the emperor, she didn't just pick any ordinary woman or herself, but found the widowed Princess Shenghe.

The princess's royal blood naturally convinced some people. Thus, they plotted secretly, and Prince Yongle had already noticed it five months ago.

Jiao Xue has come to us again. If we help, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. We are aware of our identities and will not let the girl's reputation be damaged. He Huan...she just wants to bring down Prince Yongle.

Three years ago, King Yongle was criticized many times. First, there were rumors that he was abandoned by you. Then, he was criticized by the people for attacking the city and killing surrendered soldiers. Later, he dug a canal, which resulted in the deaths of many captives from other countries. This incident again left him with criticism from others.

Building the canal cost a huge amount of money and resources, and the people suffered terribly.

Therefore, this gave Princess Shenghe and others an opportunity. A month ago, Wen Jiu was impeached, and the current Emperor Chu Wen had long wanted to reduce his power, but he had no reason, so he made him hand over half of his military power.

But, half a month ago, Princess Shenghe suddenly suffered a stroke, and Jiao Xue and others were arrested."
