Replacement Month

CHAPTER 17

Finally Xuan Ye and the group reached Lin Man City, they stayed at the residence of Regent Chao, because it was dark they immediately unwinded.

Regent Chao was a less prominent official, but Xuan Ye purposely took the Chao Regent for the dam issue, in addition to competent Regent Chao was also a clean and responsible official.

Shen Ling walked around her room and accidentally met Xuan Ye while exiting the room, only then did she realize that their room was next to each other.

Xuan Ye smiled happily as he looked at Shen Ling, "You can't sleep either?"

Shen Ling nodded, "Right, many events along our journey, servant wants to seek fresh air."

Xuan Ye let out a long sigh, "Know you, the flooded area used to be a very beautiful flower field. And when I saw that submerged area, it was a pity. Hopefully the dam you think of can be realized soon so that the city of Lin Man can rise again."

Shen Ling nodded tomorrow as they were going to have a meeting to discuss all of this. and it seems that the new second and fourth princes will arrive tomorrow but they are in different areas to deliver food aid.

This time the Emperor began to entrust the matters of the palace to the princes.

Suddenly Shen Ling felt tired, she also said goodbye to the crown prince.

Just as Shen Ling was about to walk away, Xuan Ye called out to her, "Miss Shen, thank you very much for your help. And can we always be friends like this?"

Shen Ling's steps stopped, she thought that right now the best one was indeed to be a friend, she didn't want to wish for more than that, "Of course, your honor, it's an honor for me."

Then they rest in their own rooms.

The rebel headquarters

Hok Ben was furious with his men, they were an elite trained force, not only losing four men, but he had failed to finish off the crown prince. The remaining soldiers went home with severe injuries.

"Report to me how did you fail?"

"Report master, the crown prince set out not only with his troops, but he brought along a noble lady as well as a shadow warrior. Their science is not low either."

Hok Ben also rethinks his plan of attack. But one of his herds suggested he step back for a moment. Their biggest mistake was not to measure the strength of the opponent first, if the attack is done again and lost it will only throw the lives of loyal fighters of the Tang dynasty.

"It's a pity that the noble princess brought by the crown prince is not Princess Huang Ro, if it's Princess Huang Ro then we have a golden opportunity to invite her to join this rebellion." Chirps of one of Hok Ben's men.

Hok Ben replied, "Not yet, we will definitely get that golden opportunity."

Next day

Shen Ling met with Xuan Ye while going to the breakfast banquet with the officials, "Your Majesty, have you remembered what to discuss at the meeting later in the afternoon? If your majesty could have expressed my plan, for I would not have been present at the meeting."

Xuan Ye was surprised by Shen Ling's statement, it should be if he were to convey the idea in front of the regional officials, then the prestige of the prime minister would rise, it should be, it is very profitable for the political affairs of the prime minister later on.

"Miss Shen what's your excuse?" Xuan Ye was very curious, Shen Ling was always full of surprises.

"The servant only understands the position of a woman. The servant mother always taught that as smart as a woman, she still had no right to speak at court meetings. So according to the servant it would be better if the noble one represents the servant."

Shen Ling replied respectfully, it was undeniable that Shen Ling would initially plunge directly into the Lin Man city meeting, but she was unwilling to show off. A woman is better to be silent but unbiased than talkative but empty.

After thinking for a moment Xuan Ye finally agreed to Shen Ling's request,

"Well if it's your decision and whatever the outcome of today's meeting is I'll tell you and we'll find a way out together."

Xuan Ye left, Shen Ling was quite happy that Xuan Ye would include himself in this project, 'He is indeed a good person, he neither ignored my opinion nor took my idea for his benefit. If in the future he can become an Emperor, surely this country will be more prosperous.' Inner Shen Ling.

Shen Ling again admired Xuan Ye, but she realized that Xuan Ye only wanted to befriend him and nothing more. Then there was no way Xuan Ye would fall for him.

The two of them did not know that anyone was eavesdropping on their conversation, he was Huo's official. Huo's officials had not favored the arrival of the crown prince, so if the crown prince had overseen the project, he would no longer be able to sell food from the Emperor at high prices. Of course this is very detrimental to him.

After breakfast, the officials held a meeting.

Xuan Ye had previously applied to the officials, that he did not want his identity to be revealed, so that he would more easily blend in with the people. For the handling of Lin Man city will be divided into two groups.

The first group took care of development in this case Xuan Ye took the lead, while the second group took care of the availability of food and medicine, in this case the ones leading were Xuan Er and Xuan She.

The officials were shocked, his highness told his son's son directly to tackle Lin Man city. Like his Emperor did feel the officials here were not right.

There was a group of officials discussing after the departure of the crown prince, he was the official Huo and his minions.

"Officer Huo, I don't think the current servant dared to help you to darken the food and medicine anymore."

Huo's official coldly looked at his men, "Our bettor can't do that, either, but if we can get the crown prince back into the kingdom then we can darken food and medicine again."

His henchmen were surprised, "What is Master Huo's plan?"

with an annoying smile mister Huo said, "Are you not aware of the crown prince bringing a noble princess. It can be interpreted that the lady is very valuable to the crown prince. What would it say if the beautiful lady was seriously ill and only a court physician could cure her. Isn't that interesting?" Then master Huo's laughter boomed.

One of her henchmen was still confused, "The lady looks so healthy, then how do I make her fall ill?"

Mister Huo was furious at that henchman, how could he possibly ask such a question, "You Fool, of course we will poison that Miss Shen. Wait for the right moment then the damn crown prince will go home to the palace. If the crown prince returns I'm sure the second and fourth princes will also go home."

After that mister Huo just had to think about the right time to do it. And he plans to make Chao's official owner of the house a scapegoat.

must be really fun
