"I just……"

Princess Leping couldn't explain the reason for a moment, she just felt that Song Jinshu was very kind.

And she also liked to be close to her, a feeling she didn't even have with her mother.

Zi Yu had already put down her hand and stepped forward to look at Princess Leping seriously, advising her, "Princess, you are of noble status. Don't be deceived by those people. They approach you with other motives."

"Ah... That can't be! I think Lady Song is a very nice person! She's beautiful, gentle and kind. I heard that the girls here all like Lady Song very much!"

"Princess, you are too naive. You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Many people appear nice on the surface, but they do so many bad things in private!"

Zi Yu helped Princess Leping stand up, picked up the last thing, and prepared to go out and take the carriage back to the city.

"It's getting late, we have to hurry back to the city!"

……

Fifty kilometers away from Jingyang County, a group of people and several caravans arrived.

There was a word "biao" written on the flag of each caravan, and the group leading them was Lu Chuan and his group who had been away for several months.

An escort came up to Lu Chuan and said with a smile: "Boss, we are finally home!"

Lu Chuan looked into the distance, his eyes full of longing. He had been away for so long, and he wondered if the children at home would listen to his wife.

"Yes! We will be home soon. Tell the brothers to hurry on their journey overnight and try to get into the city early tomorrow."

"Yes!"

……

After what happened today, Song Jinshu was in a bad mood and buried his head in reading a storybook in the study.

The more I look at it, the more uncomfortable I feel. It's too uncomfortable to hold this anger in my heart.

Ultimately, it was because she didn't stand high enough, even if she was willing to live a mediocre life in a backward county town and not fight for a future in a wealthy place.

She might also encounter a situation like today. Once someone of noble status comes over, she will still be an ant with no human rights and no voice in front of them.

The little princess from the eldest princess's family had a good temper and did not use her status to make things difficult for her.

But what if you encounter someone else who is unreasonable?

No matter whether she is right or wrong, they can look down on her from a high place, and then with just a few words, they can send her into hell?

This unknown fear was deeply engraved in Song Jinshu's heart.

She can't just sit there and wait for death and continue to play badly!

Perhaps she needs to demonstrate her own value, and it would be best to find a backer for herself so that the people at the top can see her and protect her as a national treasure.

If others want to humiliate her, they have to consider the face of the people above them.

And the emperor is the most suitable person to be the backer.

Song Jinshu has made up his mind to plan for his future, and with a new goal, he has become motivated.

Before, she worked hard to survive, but now she works hard for human rights.

On the other side, after Lu Ruoyu returned, she immediately urged the people in Kyoto.

Not long ago, he had reported the matter of the waterwheel and potatoes to the emperor, and Song Jinshu deserved the best credit for this.

However, there are too many forces in the court. If the reward is too great, Song Jinshu might be targeted.

By then, with her intelligence and means, she will definitely not be a match for those people.

All he could do was to assign people to her and give her a force to protect her secretly.

What happened today must not happen again. If he had not appeared in time, that person would have hurt her.

……

In the imperial palace thousands of miles away.

Emperor Xiao Ren looked at the letter in front of him excitedly. His eyes were moist and red, and his heart felt sour and bitter.

I didn't expect that he would find such a great treasure for me. It was really a pleasant surprise!

Looking at the last two sentences of the letter, Xiao Ren's eyes deepened. Princess Leping actually went to Jingyang County!

Was this the eldest princess's intention or was it unintentional?

It seems that his sister has a lot on her mind. He needs to have someone keep a close eye on her, and also send more people to protect Song Aiqing.

"Somebody come!"

As Xiao Ren finished speaking, Eunuch Yang arrived and waited in front of him: "Good luck to the emperor!"

"Eunuch Yang, go and call my imperial guards. No! Go and arrange for the people from the secret cabinet to come over!"

Eunuch Yang's body froze, his eyes filled with shock, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately went downstairs to call for help.

A moment later, people from the Dark Pavilion arrived.

Xiao Ren looked at the person in front of him and said calmly, "You look unfamiliar. What's your name?"

"My code name is number thirty-seven!" Shen Fenghua lowered his head and responded in a deep voice.

If Song Jinshu were here, he would definitely find that he had become a completely different person. His nonchalant temperament was gone, and he had become more calm and murderous.

This was the first time he faced the king of a country. He remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Ren nodded in satisfaction: "Since you were able to jump to the top of the Station Master's Dark Pavilion, you must have some tricks and schemes."

"When the Dark Chamber was in turmoil and rebellion broke out, it was you who found the person. I am very satisfied!"

"The Dark Chamber is my right-hand man. As long as you are loyal to me, you will be second only to me and above everyone else."

Listening to Xiao Ren's big promises, Shen Fenghua lowered her head, with no emotion in her eyes.

It seemed as if these things were nothing to him.

"Now I have an important matter that I need you to do!"

Shen Fenghua kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, please give your orders! I will not refuse even if it means death!"

"It's not a difficult task. I need you to send a few people to Jingyang County and find a way to enter the county government as yamen runners to closely protect the Jingyang County Magistrate, Song Jinshu."

"I remember that you worked as a clerk in Jingyang County for half a year?"

Shen Fenghua's eyes had already widened in shock. Upon hearing Xiao Ren's words, he immediately nodded, "Yes! I have resigned from the position of Chief Clerk!"

After saying this, he felt a little lost.

The time he spent in Jingyang County was the happiest and most stable time in his life.

There is no need to go through so many conspiracies and intrigues, nor to deal with open and secret attacks.

Xiao Ren smiled, then squatted down and helped Shen Fenghua up, seeing the other's confused look.

He explained, "What's your real name?"

Shen Fenghua hesitated for a few seconds and replied, "Shen Fenghua!"

"That's a nice name, and the person lives up to his name. He is truly a man of unrivaled elegance!"

After Xiao Ren helped Shen Fenghua up, he turned around and sat back on the dragon throne. He casually asked, "When you were in Jingyang County, did you have a good relationship with County Magistrate Song?"

"Don't hesitate, just tell the truth."

Upon hearing this, Shen Fenghua simply shared his experiences in Jingyang County, but he omitted many details of his interactions with Song Jinshu.

He also vaguely mentioned how Song Jinshu won the hearts of the people in Jingyang County, how she benefited the people, and how the people loved her.

There is also her occasional urban air, and the short description makes Song Jinshu's character full of life.

The more Xiao Ren listened, the more curious he became about Song Jinshu, and at the same time, he naturally imagined that she was a good official who cared about the country and the people.

However, in order to show off his talents, he deliberately created a character that is money-loving, lazy and unmotivated.

This Mr. Song is such a wonderful person!
