Chapter 104 Rebellious Officials of the Former Dynasty 35

Fortunately, Xiao Yao is there now, preventing her from sinking into the abyss again.

Ling Yi gently patted her neck and sighed, "Get up first, I need to clean up the mess I made yesterday."

Anyone who arbitrarily kills an official appointed by the imperial court, unless they intend to rebel, must give the emperor an explanation.

Of course, whether the emperor listens or not is another matter entirely.

Xiao Yao didn't move. He pressed all his weight onto Ling Yi, leaving no gap between them, as if only in this way could he soothe the fear from last night.

After a while, he grumbled, "Don't worry about it, I've taken care of it."

"Who are they, and who am I?" He raised his head to meet Ling Yi's gaze, even raising an eyebrow arrogantly: "Does Father not trust his own son, but instead trust those corrupt scoundrels?"

Ling Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, then she rewarded him with a kiss on the chin: "Mmm, you're the best."

It was a bit perfunctory, but Xiao Yao could accept it.

He smiled as he looked at Ling Yi, who had lost weight, and whispered in her ear, "I'm so capable, please don't abandon me again, okay? I can help you too."

He may not be a warrior, but he will manage the logistics for Yi Yi and help her deal with the dangers outside.

Hearing the confusion and fear in his words, Ling Yi felt a pang in her heart.

"Okay, I won't leave you again." She assured Xiao Yao, "From now on, you will be my deputy, and I will take you with me wherever I go."

"Yi-Yi is the best!" Having received the assurance, Xiao Yao got up and shouted outside, "Lu'an, breakfast is ready!"

Ling Yi wasn't feeling well when she came back yesterday. She only ate some food perfunctorily and went to sleep. Now, upon hearing the words "breakfast," her stomach involuntarily growled.

Xiao Yao draped an outer robe over her shoulders, instructed a maid to do her hair and makeup, and then went out himself.

Lu'an, who had just given the order to prepare breakfast, looked at the barely perceptible smile on his master's face and sighed inwardly that the grown-up child had two faces. He then whispered his report in his master's ear.

“Starting this morning, people from various mansions set off to deliver memorials to the capital, not through the postal relay stations.”

Xiao Yao tugged at the corner of her lips: "They're afraid I'll take action in private."

Why would he be so stupid?

After killing the officials, he forbade others to submit memorials. Wasn't this clearly telling his father, the emperor, that he was going to rebel?

Even if Xiao Yao did have this idea, he wouldn't do something so foolish when he lacked the strength.

"Ignore them, just make sure our letter gets to the capital first."

Based on his father's favor towards him over the past twenty years, and the unsavory evidence he had collected about the officials of all ranks in the northern desert, Xiao Yao believed that these people's memorials would not cause any major trouble.

At most, they'll scold him and assign him a tutor or eunuch to look after him.

This was no big deal for Xiao Yao.

There was no need for him to hide what he was going to do from his father.

even……

With her hands clenched behind her back, Xiao Yao stared fixedly into the distance.

It would be best to let the Emperor see what he had done.

After escaping time and time again, Xiao Yao finally could no longer run away. He didn't want Yi Yi to wander with him any longer.

"What are they talking about?" Ling Yi changed into simple clothes and went out, only to see the master and servant talking furtively. She couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yao paused for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile, "They said those terrified guys submitted a memorial to the capital early this morning to complain."

Lu An watched his master's incredible ability to change his expression, speechless.

Ling Yi nodded to Lu An, whose body was slightly tense: "I'm sorry, I was a little tired yesterday and may have startled you all."

Lu An quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Your Highness, you are too kind."

The moment he saw Ling Yi's eyes, he instantly felt relieved.

That indifferent yet gentle demeanor was completely different from yesterday's.

Yesterday...

Lu An shuddered at the thought of the princess's gaze, which looked down on everyone and even the flowers and trees along the street.

I just hope the princess won't be so exhausted again. If he suffers that kind of pressure a couple more times, he'll die young.

"Yiyi, come quickly, I specially had someone prepare a medicinal meal to nourish your body."

Upon hearing the words "medicinal cuisine," Ling Yi frowned.

She used to think that food was just a necessity for humans to replenish energy, and that functional necessities were even more precious.

But after living as a person for a long time, and developing her own sense of taste and preferences, Lingyi felt...

Medicinal cuisine is really not something people should eat.

No matter how delicious the food is, if it has a medicinal taste, it will ruin your appetite.

Xiao Yao grabbed Ling Yi's wrist and walked forward, suddenly realizing that he needed to use some strength to move her forward.

He turned around, but still saw Ling Yi looking serious, as if she had no reluctance to eat the medicinal food at all.

He pursed his lips and chuckled softly.

The next moment, a sharp gaze shot straight at him from behind, making him straighten his back instantly, like a puppy caught doing something wrong.

Seeing that he had behaved, Ling Yi snorted inwardly before reluctantly continuing toward the dining hall.

On the dining table, several medicinal dishes were placed in front of her. Ling Yi looked up at the exquisite side dishes on Xiao Yao's side and reluctantly picked up her chopsticks.

But the moment the medicinal food entered her mouth, her eyebrows suddenly twitched.

After holding back for a while, Xiao Yao finally laughed out loud: "Is it delicious?"

He had noticed Ling Yi's aversion to this medicine when he was taking it for a while when he was unwell.

Therefore, the kitchen staff were instructed to modify the flavors well in advance.

Although the efficacy has been slightly reduced, the taste has improved by more than one level.

Xiao Yao hadn't told Ling Yi yet because he wanted to surprise her, and also because he was secretly hoping to see her make a fool of herself.

Sure enough, her expressionless face, though actually puffed up with anger, is really cute.

Ling Yi glared at Xiao Yao, swallowed the medicinal food, and then said, "One should not speak while eating or sleeping."

"what!"

Now, Xiao Yao's laughter could be heard even by the maids outside.

The maids from the capital were already used to the prince's lively manner in front of the princess, but the maids from Tongcheng were full of surprise.

These days, His Highness Prince Rui spends his time writing and drawing in his study, and receiving his subordinates. He appears extremely calm and aloof, like a jade figure devoid of warmth.

But when the princess returned, the beautiful woman came back to life, laughing and making a ruckus.

Amidst the soft rustling laughter, Ling Yi forced a straight face and finished her meal before saying calmly, "Stop laughing, let's get down to business!"

Since she didn't want to be everyone's ancestor, Ling Yi became too lazy to plan everyone's future in every detail.

She needs to learn how humans do things, that'll be good enough.

Well, we also need to learn another way humans do things—passing the buck.

With so many subordinates, it's impossible to expect her to plan everything single-handedly.

Everyone came to work overtime for her, and the one who was smiling the most was Yu Shen!
