Su Bei handed a memorial to Feng Jinghuang, “Check it if Your Majesty has the time, if not, just throw it away.”

Feng Jinghuang hesitated for a while, but still received it.

The next day, the armies cracked down on the rioting refugees and beheaded those people who deliberately got disguised as the refugees in front of the public.

After the refugees’ riot was put down, the imperial court announced that they would need a lot of manpower to build the imperial tombs.

Those who had labor force were recruited, while those who had no labor force accepted the arrangement.

Apparently, the refugees had accepted the arrangement, albeit with some grumbling.

Feng Jinghuang felt more complicated in the heart, because those methods were all from Su Bei’s memorial.

She thought that Su Bei would continue tricking her, but he did not.

Feng Jinghuang smiled. So what? She would still kill Su Bei, and she would never get shaken!

The next day, Su Bei received an imperial decree saying that the disaster in some county was so severe that people even exchanged their kids for food.

So she’d send him to solve the disaster, so those people could restore their conscience.

Su Bei’s intuition told him that on the way going there and coming back, there’d be rounds of assassinations.

Compared with assassinating him on his way back, Feng Jinghuang would rather get him killed on the way going there.

What cruel female lead! He had just helped her, and now she already requited kindness with enmity?

Now that the imperial decree had been issued, Su Bei had no choice but to go.

After all, he was quite afraid of the female lead, after all, the degree of her brutality was obvious to all.

Feng Qianjue also heard about it, knowing that Feng Jinghuang really wouldn’t let Su Bei live.

Feng Jinghuang should have it planned long ago. Once Su Bei left the capital, Feng Jinghuang started to clear the court.

She would definitely figure out a way to make Su Bei unable to make it back.

Taking ten thousands steps back, even if Su Bei could come back, things would have changed.

He just didn’t know what Su Bei was thinking.

The day before Su Bei left, Feng Qianjue came.

He asked Su Bei, “You really want to go?”

Su Bei asked rhetorically, “Do I have a choice?”

Feng Qianjue said explicitly, “Of course.”

Su Bei glanced at Feng Qianjue, he only wanted to say, dude, your idea is very dangerous.

Feng Qianjue faintly smiled, “It depends on whether you want to do it or not.”

Su Bei looked at him suspiciously. Did this guy mean to encourage him to usurp the throne, and then kill him on this charge?

As smart as Su Bei was, still trying to calculate him? No way! “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

Feng Qianjue had a slight twitch of his mouth. Still pretending it? How could you not know?

Was his momentary doubt a fear that he was tricking him?

Little liar! He had thought that he was different to him. Now he still suspected him?

Su Bei had already packed things up. When leaving, the long line of carriages made one doubt that he was not going for the disaster relief, but for a spring outing.

Feng Qianjue watched him leave the capital on the second floor of a restaurant.

He got bottoms up and then asked someone to send the news into the palace.

Saying he wasn’t feeling well, and wouldn’t see anyone.

Su Bei wasn’t sleeping well in the bumpy carriage, and only wanted to get to that place as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, as he was about to ask what was going on, the curtain was brushed open, “My lord, we are so swaggered, I’m afraid that we might get targeted by those refugees.”

Su Bei picked his eyebrow, “Prince Zhennan, isn’t it good to stay in the capital?”

Feng Qianjue sat beside Su Bei, “Not at all.”

Su Bei then ordered the people to move on, totally ignoring the ‘incident’ just now.
