In order to celebrate the success of Prince Chen and Princess in transporting food and fodder to the military camp, Governor Luo in Youyun City specially prepared a very sumptuous lunch.

Inside the yamen, the county magistrate, Lord Wang, gazed at the table filled with a dazzling array of delicacies from land and sea. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if they could pinch a fly to death.

"Lord Luo, what on earth are you doing..."

As County Magistrate Wang spoke, he looked at Luo Yimin, who was setting the table, with suspicion.

County Magistrate Wang knew Luo Yimin's temper very well.

Before Yunchenyu and his companions arrived, Lord Luo had already instructed everyone to find ways to hinder the transportation of food and fodder.

But now, food and supplies are delivered to the military camp smoothly.

According to common sense, Luo Yimin should be extremely angry at this time. How could he be so excited to hold a banquet to celebrate for them?

After much thought, County Magistrate Wang concluded that there must be some other ulterior motive behind Luo Yimin's move.

Luo Yimin was like a cunning fox, narrowing his eyes slightly and revealing an unfathomable smile on his face.

He responded calmly, "Lord Wang, those prisoners who are about to be executed will enjoy a so-called 'last meal' before they go to the guillotine. Do you know the reason for this?"

County Magistrate Wang pondered for a moment.

He began, "According to historical records, the custom of having death row prisoners eat a final meal began during the Spring and Autumn Period. After suppressing the civil unrest, in order to demonstrate his benevolence and appease the people, he provided the rebels with a final, hearty meal before executing them. This practice was continued by later generations, and it has become a tradition to this day."

County Magistrate Wang opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock.

He stared at Luo Yimin blankly, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't say a word.

It took him a while to come back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he already understood the deep meaning hidden in Luo Yimin's words.

Oh my god! Luo Yimin actually attempted to murder the prince!

This thought exploded in County Magistrate Wang's mind like thunder, causing his whole body to tremble and almost lose his balance.

At this moment, he only felt that Luo Yimin in front of him was an extremely ferocious and crazy wolf, and there was nothing he could not do.

County Magistrate Wang's body began to tremble involuntarily, with the amplitude becoming stronger and stronger, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

He raised his hands tremblingly and bowed to Luo Yimin. His movements seemed extremely stiff and clumsy.

Seeing this, Luo Yimin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a look that seemed to be a smile.

He leaned close to Magistrate Wang's ear and said in a voice that could be heard by both of them:

"Master Wang, why are you so nervous? I was just casually asking you about some things in prison. Why would you be so frightened and lose your composure?"

After saying this, he reached out and gently patted the back of County Magistrate Wang's hand.

However, this seemingly casual slap, when it landed on County Magistrate Wang's hand, was like a heavy hammer hitting a drum, causing his heart to tremble.

What was even more terrible was that although Luo Yimin spoke in a low tone, the murderous intent contained in it was not concealed at all, like a biting cold current that instantly penetrated County Magistrate Wang's body.

"We messed up, but instead of holding us accountable, our superiors gave us a chance to redeem ourselves. This kindness is truly immense. County Magistrate Wang, you must seize this opportunity and not let your superiors down!"

You must know that all the wealth and glory in this world, as well as the romantic pleasures, are not as important as your own life!"

At this time, County Magistrate Wang was already completely shrouded in fear, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.

He had no idea when his palms were covered in cold sweat, so wet that even the place where his palms touched his sleeves was soaked.

......

After Yun Chenyu and Shen Li finished dealing with the matters in the military camp, they returned to Youyun City.

Luo Yimin entertained them respectfully and politely, then returned to his home.

Shen Li was going back to Beijing tomorrow, and she wanted to take a stroll around this small town, so she went out with Qingluan and Qingzhi.

"Wait for me!" Yun Chenyu shouted behind him.

Shen Li turned around.

"Your Highness, do you have no official business to attend to? That Governor Luo is not a good person at all. With him around, the people of Youyun City will have a hard time."

"I know about this. When we return to the capital, I will send someone to conduct a thorough investigation, list all the evidence of his crimes, and settle accounts with him."

After Yun Chenyu finished speaking, he continued, "My little princess helped me transport food and fodder to the military camp, saving the lives of 100,000 soldiers. Now, I should spend some time with you."

Shen Li smiled, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

Yun Chenyu gestured to Qingluan and Qingzhi and whispered, "I am here to accompany the princess, you can go back."

Qingluan and Qingzhi looked at each other, nodded, and returned to the government office.

Shen Li and Yun Chenyu were walking on the street and saw a jewelry store and walked in.

"As expected, women all love jewelry." Yun Chenyu raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "When we return to the capital, I will have the craftsmen create a batch of unique jewelry for you. You can change one every day and never have the same one twice a year."

Shen Li didn't say anything either.

If Yun Chenyu could make so many jewelry for her, she would be happy.

"Boss, how much is this hairpin?" Shen Li asked.

For a long time, no one came to greet her.

Shen Li was puzzled.

"Is this store closed?"

Yun Chenyu looked around and saw that there were no people around. He shouted, "Where are the people? Someone come!"

But after shouting, no one came out.

"Since there is no one here, let's go look somewhere else." Shen Li put down her hairpin and was about to walk out.

At this moment, a sound came from somewhere.

"Now that you're in, don't come out again!"

With a bang, the door of the jewelry store was closed from the outside.

Almost at the same moment, a creepy cracking sound was heard above the head, and the roof began to collapse at an alarming speed.

Before Shen Li could hide, her waist was grabbed, and her body felt light. The next second, she fell into Yun Chenyu's arms.

"Your Majesty!"

Shen Li looked up and saw a heavy wooden pillar falling towards Yun Chenyu's back.

"Small......!"

Before he could finish the word "be careful", the wooden pillar pressed down on Yun Chenyu's shoulders.

Then, a fast arrow flew towards Yunchenyu.

"It's okay, I will protect you." Yun Chenyu used his body to support the wooden pillar, enduring the arrow wound, and put his mouth close to her ear, leaving a sentence: "Ali, get out alive, live well."

He raised his hand, and with difficulty took out a bone whistle from his sleeve, and blew it with all his strength...
