Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The old woman couldn't believe it: "My son-in-law is very fierce."

"Do not worry!"

Ye Youlan went to see the Seventh Prince and borrowed his guards.

The Seventh Prince laughed and said, "You want your guards to take care of the affairs of a married couple?"

Ye Youlan disagreed: "Let the guards put the knife to the butcher's neck, he dare not write the divorce letter."

"Then after we leave, if the butcher comes looking for us again, who among our family of three can resist him? We might even lose three lives."

"What should we do? I've already boasted. Why don't we just leave the money behind and run away?"

The Seventh Prince smiled, called Li Zhi over, gave him a token, and asked him to go to the county government office.

"The butcher forced people to buy and sell things, extorted money, and then gathered some other crimes to find a reason to send him to the army. Whether he can come back alive depends on his luck."

Ye Youlan stood on tiptoe and kissed the Seventh Prince on the cheek. The people next to her saw it and turned away with a smile, pretending not to see it.

At noon the next day, Li Zhi returned with a young woman. When they entered their home, they saw the yard full of strange men. The woman was a little scared. When she saw her mother coming out, she cried and hugged her mother.

Ye Youlan looked at the old lady happily: "Grandma, your family is reunited. As for whether that Daniu can get married, you'd better observe him more."

After Ye Youlan and others left, the old lady found twenty taels of silver under the pillow in her daughter's room.

In the carriage, Ye Youlan was very happy: "This time out, I feel like I have a three-foot sword of justice on my waist, a thousand tender feelings in my heart, and I am happy to walk the rivers and lakes, taking revenge. Thank you, Your Highness, you have fulfilled my dream of being in the rivers and lakes."

The Seventh Prince laughed: "How many dreams do you have? Sometimes you dream of being a girl, sometimes you dream of being a martial artist."

"I still have many dreams, and I need you to accompany me to realize them."

"it is good."

"Your Highness, what is your dream? Besides finding out the truth about the ambush in Qingliang City, what else do you dream of?"

"To be with you forever."

"Pull the hook."

"Pull the hook."

They rested in Yangcheng for one night and then continued on their way to Linzhou. After another three days, they finally entered the territory of Linzhou.

"I thought Linzhou was lush with trees, but I didn't expect it to be so windy and sandy. The wind blew and there was sand in my mouth. Is there a desert nearby?"

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "There is indeed a desert. Across the desert is Chubei. I used to lead troops to fight in Chubei. North of Chubei is the Northern Desert."

Ye Youlan was curious about how big the desert was.

"It would take five days of normal marching to get out of the desert."

Ye Youlan wondered: "I don't think we passed through the desert when we went to Chubei last time."

"Chubei stretches for thousands of miles, and we are taking a different path."

Ye Youlan thought that the desert was a good barrier, but garrisoning was indeed hard work, and the court should treat the soldiers stationed at the border well.

"Your Majesty, who is the general currently stationed in Chubei?"

"It's General Liu, Ren Yue's father-in-law. General Liu used to be stationed in Chunan. Three years ago, after I handed over my military power, the emperor transferred General Liu from Chunan to Chubei."

"Is he a reliable person?"

"There's no apparent problem at the moment, but since Ren Qishan and I are in-laws, I've been sending people to keep an eye on him. Ren Yue has been married for four years, but she hasn't left any offspring for the Liu family, and the Liu family is quite dissatisfied with her."

"It's obviously his son's weak body, why is he blaming the woman?"

The Seventh Prince laughed: "I didn't expect you to speak up for Ren Yue."

"I'm not speaking for Ren Yue, I'm speaking for women who feel wronged in their marriages. It's clearly the man's fault, but in the end, it's all put on the woman. A man who gets married and can't have children blames the woman for not being able to have children. A man who takes a concubine blames the wife for not being gentle enough. A man who has no future blames the woman for not being virtuous and a good wife. A man who has achieved success despises his wife, saying she's not good enough for him. I've found that men's greatest skill is to confuse right and wrong and turn the tables."

The Seventh Prince remained silent.

Ye Youlan glared at him: "Why aren't you talking? Does what I said make sense?"

"What you said makes sense, very much so."

After they settled down at the posthouse, the Seventh Prince and Li Zhi went to the provincial capital.

The magistrate of Linzhou did not expect that the Seventh Prince would appear here. He was very frightened and didn't know what the purpose of the Seventh Prince's visit was.

The Seventh Prince handed the magistrate a list of names, which was a list of several soldiers from Linzhou who died in the Liangcheng ambush that year.

"I sent my men to Linzhou to investigate. They looked for their relatives according to the address recorded by the military, but they couldn't find them. So I wanted you to help me check again."

The magistrate was a middle-aged man with small eyes, but he was very observant. He asked, "Why did the prince suddenly want to see them?"

"I have always felt bad about what happened back then, so I want to treat their families well and make up for the regrets I made back then. And by the way, take my wife around. My wife loves mutton, and the best mutton in Da Chu is in Linzhou."

"You've come at the right time, Princess. Linzhou will soon hold the Sheep Festival. Mutton soup is a must during the dog days of summer."

The magistrate asked his men to take the list to investigate, and then asked where the prince would live. Since the inn was inconvenient, why not move to the mansion?

"No, it's convenient to stay in the inn, and the princess doesn't like to disturb others."

Ye Youlan took a nap before waiting for the Seventh Prince to come back and asked him if things went smoothly.

"If you want to find someone, you have to wait two days for news."

"They were just ordinary soldiers. They're gone now. Why would their relatives suddenly disappear? And not just one family, but five." Ye Youlan wondered, "Ordinary soldiers can't get involved in high-level secrets. Who would be afraid of you finding them?"

"Don't think about it now. I'll take you for a walk."

Ye Youlan took a handkerchief and covered her face like the locals: "It's very windy and dusty here, and the sun is very strong. I'm going to get sunburned. It will be better if I wrap myself in a handkerchief."

The Seventh Prince laughed. Ye Youlan even looked in the mirror before leaving: "I feel like I look like a landmine thief."

"What are mines?"

"It's a weapon that's buried underground and has great destructive power. It can be made with explosives."

"I saw it in a book again."

"Of course I saw it in a book. Could it be that I saw it in heaven?"

There aren't many people on the streets of Linzhou; perhaps they're still taking a nap! Most of the houses are adobe, with the occasional wooden structure, typically belonging to a wealthy family. There's no distinction between commercial and residential areas here; they're all mixed together.

Ye Youlan smelled the rich aroma of mutton soup through the tip of her nose, and she swallowed.

"Your Highness, I want to drink mutton soup. Go to the front and see if there is a teahouse. I will come to you after I finish drinking."

"No, I'll accompany you."

"Don't you hate the smell of mutton soup? Don't force yourself."

"I won't drink, I'll just watch you drink."

Ye Youlan said helplessly: "When the time comes, you should cover your nose with a handkerchief. If the boss hits you, run away quickly."

"Why should I run?"

"You went in just to look and not buy, and you even covered your nose. Aren't you hated? If I were the boss, I'd definitely have my employees kick you out."
