“Alright.” Baili Jia Jue casually picked up a prawn for him with his chopsticks. “Eat your food. Go back to the palace first after you’ve done eating.”

The Little Seventh Prince widened his eyes. “Third Brother, I don’t want to go back. Why are you telling me to go back to the palace!”

“When you get back to the palace, say that you have a stomach ache after eating prawns.” Baili Jia Jue reached out his hands to tidy up the clothes for the little one.

Meanwhile, the Shadows were thinking in their minds, ever since the day the Little Seventh Prince was born, he has never suffered from any illness, except that one time when he had a fever and the Third Prince has held him in his arm for the whole night.

Besides, the Seventh Prince didn’t even have a problem with eating raw meat of the dragon and the magical beast!

How is it possible that he will get a stomach ache because of prawns?

As they were pondering over this question...

The little one had seen through his Third Brother’s plan from all aspects. He immediately straightened up his little waist and spoke with a cool expression on his face, “Then I have to try my best in pretending to make it look more real. Third Brother, you have to send an imperial physician to go back with me. Hmph, and I want to ask the little Shadows to copy down the name of this restaurant for me, just in case if I remember the name wrongly!”

“Go ahead.” Baili Jia Jue withdrew his hand. A hint of a smile flickered across his charming side face.

The little one nodded his head heavily. He could not even walk properly, yet his lightness skill had reached the peak of perfection. He stepped lightly on his toes the moment he came out from the inn and jumped up the branch of a tree. What followed behind him were Shadows coming out one after another.

This scene would never be seen by anyone.

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and looked at the man next to her. “Can’t we just write a letter and send it to the palace? Why must you insist on sending Little Seven back?”

“He has been our third wheel all the way. Do you want him to continue?” Baili Jia Jue replied with a question, his tone was so calm that it was as though he was telling a fact.

Helian Wei Wei had been pondering over the reason for a while but she could never have guessed that this was the real reason. She was slightly stunned.

The Shadows raised their heads and gazed at the sky in unison...

My pure Little Master, you are certainly fooled by the Third Prince again.

“Well, let’s go to another restaurant to have our meal. These dead prawns smell so bad.” Baili Jia Jue looked like a young master walking out from a noble family with his legs slightly crossed, even though he did not really dress up.

As a matter of fact, a good looking face was indeed important. Helian Wei Wei wiped her mouth and stood up after Baili Jia Jue. Then, they walked out of the Bayview Seafood Restaurant together. They finally had their real lunch in the evening.

When Governor Chen once again received the instructions from Baili Jia Jue, he was obviously excited. He thought the Third Prince would return directly to the Capital, never had he expected that the Third Prince would come to the provincial capital.

In this case, he could take out those difficult cases for the Third Prince to deal with.

Governor Chen looked back to instruct his servant as he thought about this, “Inform all the officials in the provincial capital, just tell them that the second person in charge of the provincial capital is taking up his post.”

“Noted.” The servant lifted his head as he had doubt. “My Lord, is that all? Are we not going to inform them about the background of this official?”

The light in Governor Chen’s eyes slightly darkened. “That’s all.” The effect that His Highness desires can only be achieved by doing so.

The imperial officials in the provincial capital were quite nervous when they received the news. After all, Magistrate Liao from the provincial capital had gotten into real trouble the day before yesterday, and four other colleagues were involved in the affair as well.

Now, the official position in the provincial capital was available. Generally speaking, it was not possible for any new official to take up the post so soon as Magistrate Liao had yet to be sent to the Capital for trial.

However, after further deliberation, there was nothing for them to be worried about.

Some of them strongly believed that Magistrate Liao would not receive any punishment but instead, there would at most be a change in his official position.

As long as the elders are still alive, everything those people try to do to stir up the provincial capital will be a waste of effort!

For example, that Chen guy who assumes that he’s in power simply because he’s the governor of three provinces. In fact, he’s nothing when he sets his foot in the Capital!

The most important thing currently is to see if it’s possible to pull the new official to our side.

The imperial officials were making their own plans. When they arrived at the Magistrate Residence, they had waited for less than five minutes before they saw a carriage slowly coming toward them. There were no yamen runners, but only two guards in black clothes, holding knives. They followed at the sides of the carriage, it seemed like they were guarding the carriage.

“Our new colleague has arrived!” Somebody obviously had something in mind, and this person was the garrison general whom Governor Chen was afraid of. This General was none other but Elder Helian’s main force in the army, Liao Qingtian. Magistrate Liao and he were brothers of the same mother.

The reason why it was so difficult for them to inspect Fuping County regardless of how many times they came to the provincial capital over the years was because of these two brothers. They had controlled the entire area in civil and military affairs, which made it very hard to find a way for a breakthrough.

No matter how high the position of Governor Chen was, it was futile as he did not have an army under him.

Liao Qingtian had won in the war before. Governor Chen was afraid that all the generals from the other families would have suspicions if he were to do anything to Liao Qingtian. This would be unfavorable to the Retired Emperor.

Thus, even though there were a lot of problems in the provincial capital, he could not go too far as long as Liao Qingtian did not commit a major crime.

Now, let’s see if His Highness has any way to deal with him...

Governor Chen stood aside, lifted his head silently and looked at the direction of the carriage.

The door of the carriage opened. Everyone took a step forward involuntarily. The first thing to catch their sight was an ivory long robe, followed by slender long legs, and a tall and straight body.

When this person hopped out of the carriage and revealed his face that was as charming as God, everyone could feel his icy elegance. They were stunned. Why is this newly appointed colleague, so... so charming?

To be honest, it took quite a long time for people to be promoted and become an official in the provincial capital, thus they were somehow of old age. There was no one around them who looked good, all of them had a big belly and were corpulent.

This new colleague is so charming that he almost looks unreal.

Besides, he’s way too young!

Could it be that he has some special background?

But his attire seems to suggest otherwise.

As the imperial officials were wondering in their mind, the man with a white glove on his left hand opened the curtain and said with his low tone, “Lord Wei, we’ve arrived, you may get off now.”

Lord Wei?

Upon hearing this title, the officials immediately turned to look at the Liao Qingtian who was smiling.

As expected, his face darkened and his eyes were hostile.

Right now, Helian Wei Wei already got off the carriage, landed with her toes and walked over them. A slightly dark face appeared in front of everyone, and it was far from being handsome.

“Good day, my Lords. It’s nice to meet all of you. Please take good care of me in the future.” Helian Wei Wei’s lips were slightly raised but it was not obvious.

The officials looked at her and started to have a feeling that people had exaggerated the facts when they spread the news from mouth to mouth. What kind of ability would a teenager, who is not even 18 years old, have? It’s all exaggeration.

They were assuming that he had probably gotten help from Governor Chen. Perhaps Magistrate Liao had slipped up momentarily as well, resulting in him falling into the trap.

Such a person will not make many achievements in the political affair. When the time comes, we are still the ones who will be in charge of the provincial capital.
