Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

One day, Li Zhi and the prince went out of the city on business and did not go to the academy, so Li Mu took over the class.

After returning home, Li Zhi would look at the door from time to time. According to the previous time, Qiao Ling should have returned. How come it was already dark and he still hadn't heard Qiao Ling's footsteps?

He was a little worried, so he told his mother that he was going to the palace. His mother saw through it but didn't say anything.

Li Zhi thought that Qiao Ling would come back late and would definitely take a shortcut, so he turned from West Street into an alley. There were not many people in the alley at this time, only the lanterns hanging in the roadside shops reflected the silence of the summer night.

Li Zhi continued walking forward when he suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying in the distance. He quickly quickened his pace to follow the sound.

In the alley between two shops, he saw Qiao Ling holding a wooden stick in her hand, and two ruffian-looking men in front of her were walking forward while unbuttoning their belts.

Qiao Ling closed her eyes, waved the stick, and shouted, "Don't come over here."

She was tired of waving and stopped. She saw two people lying in front of her and a man standing in the distance, looking at her with concern.

Her nose felt sore, and she felt scared and wronged. She ran over and threw herself into Li Zhi's arms: "I'm scared to death." Then she burst into tears.

Li Zhi waited until she had cried enough, then wiped away her tears. The little girl looked so charming under the moonlight that his heart couldn't help but soften.

"It's okay, don't be afraid as long as I'm here."

Qiao Ling was shy and pointed at the man and asked what to do.

Li Zhi stepped forward and pulled off one of them's outer shirt, tied up the two of them tightly, then patted them to wake them up and pressed their mute points.

"I'm sending them to the government office. Do you want to go home first or come with me?"

Qiao Ling didn't even think about it: "I'll go with you."

On the way back, the two walked side by side, and the moonlight lengthened their figures.

Qiao Ling expressed her gratitude to Li Zhi, saying that if he had not arrived in time, her life would have been over.

"Brother Li, did you come here specially to pick me up?"

Li Zhi blushed: "No, I just came out for a walk."

Qiao Ling smiled, feeling sweet in her heart. It felt so good to be remembered by others. She began to understand what the princess had said to her.

"Brother Li, how come you know so many characters?"

So Li Zhi told her some of his experiences in the military camp, including how he learned to read and write.

"The prince is a very nice person. No wonder the princess likes him so much."

Li Zhi paused and glanced at the girl beside him: "Do you still like the prince?"

Qiao Ling heard a hint of sourness in the tone: "Princess, you're right. I don't love Mr. Song or the prince. I'm just unworldly. When I suddenly see someone outstanding, I can't help but envy him."

"Then who do you like?"

Qiao Ling's voice was like a mosquito: "I like you, can't you feel it?"

Li Zhi's heartbeat quickened: "But I'm seven years older than you."

"The prince is eight years older than the princess. I think they are just as happy. We can be too."

"What if you meet someone better in the future?"

"There are so many excellent people in this world, but they may not be suitable for me, nor may they be the one I like, so worrying about this and that is meaningless. Now I have put aside those messy and unrealistic fantasies and will find someone who likes me and live a down-to-earth life."

Li Zhi said excitedly, "I can guarantee this."

Qiao Ling's lips curled up, and she couldn't suppress her smile: "How can I guarantee that?"

Li Zhi pointed to his own door: "I'm home."

Qiao Ling put away her smile: "It's boring, go home!"

Li Zhi mustered up his courage and said, "How about we go for another walk?"

Qiao Ling jumped for joy: "Okay!"

Mrs. Qiao's voice came from behind the door: "Go home quickly."

Qiao Ling stuck out her tongue and ran home.

Mrs. Qiao bolted the door and lectured her daughter: "You're already grown up, and you're still running around outside?"

Qiao Ling smiled sweetly and pulled her mother's arm: "Mom, I want to marry Brother Li. When he comes to propose, you are not allowed to object."

Mrs. Qiao whispered, "I asked around, and I found out that Li Zhi is the prince's personal bodyguard, and the captain of the guards. His rank is two levels higher than Lord Song's!"

Qiao Ling said coquettishly: "Mom, shouldn't you look at a person's character?"

Mrs. Qiao said unconvincedly, "No matter how good a person's character is, he still has to eat. Ling, you won't suffer any loss by marrying him. Li Zhi's mother has a good personality, and his sister-in-law doesn't have a bad temper either. With your mother by your side, no one can bully you."

"Mom, why did you treat my uncle like that? It would be so much better if you were a little nicer to him!"

Mrs. Qiao sighed, "When we were struggling to make ends meet, it was your uncle who helped us. Your uncle then suggested I take over your uncle's house. I was so broke I regretted it now. I never expect your uncle to forgive me in this lifetime. I just hope you can live a good life."

"Brother Li and I will definitely be very happy."

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince felt something was amiss when Li Zhi reported what happened last night. Gucheng had always had good public security, so why had so many unjust incidents been happening so frequently recently?

"What did those two people look like last night?"

Without waiting for Li Zhi to describe, Ye Youlan looked at the Seventh Prince: "How about we go to the prison and see what we can find out?"

Li Zhi also wanted to follow.

Ye Youlan glanced at him and said, "Any progress with Qiao Ling? You were a hero saving the damsel in distress last night."

Li Zhi blushed and scratched his neck in embarrassment.

"How can you all be so slow? Just like the prince, you don't know how to pursue girls. It seems that girls have to take the initiative."

Ye Youlan called Dingxiang, whispered a few words in her ear, and then asked her to go to the embroidery workshop.

The Seventh Prince was puzzled and looked at Ye Youlan.

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "Their relationship will definitely break through today, believe me."

Li Zhi and the Seventh Prince didn't believe it, but in order not to affect the princess's mood, they said nothing and went to the prison together.

Ye Youlan just took a look at the two men and immediately recognized that they were the men who invited them to barbecue.

She whispered in the Seventh Prince's ear for a while, then went outside to wait.

After a while, the Seventh Prince and Li Zhi came out.

"They came to Gucheng from out of town to eat barbecue. They drank too much and saw a girl named Qiao Ling walking in the alley. They were attracted by her beauty."

Ye Youlan asked them if they believed this statement?

Soon, a guard came back from the investigation and said that what they said was true. They lived in Yuelai Inn and just ate and drank every day.

Ye Youlan asked how to deal with it?

"Send them to the mines to do hard labor for six months."

Ye Youlan whispered to the Seventh Prince, "Is there any medicine that can make men impotent? Give it to them, and they won't harm girls in the future."

Although the princess' voice was very soft, Li Zhi and the other guards could still hear it. The princess said the cruelest words in a very gentle way. However, this was a good idea as it confiscated their tools.

Having lost two more generals, Xiao Bao had no choice but to report.

Song Wen was very angry and pointed at Xiao Bao and scolded him, "How do you do things?"
