Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

At this moment, the news about Helian Wei Wei cutting off the evildoers and conferring benefits on the society of Fuping had spread out among the folks.

Everyone was in immense satisfaction. They put up banners in the field, hanging them one by one. All of them were manifesting their grat.i.tude to Helian Wei Wei.

When Governor Chen saw the water pump that was installed at the riverside, he felt a rare excitement and accidentally called Helian Wei Wei by her actual t.i.tle, “Princess Consort! The Retired Emperor will surely thank you on behalf of all the people in the War Dragon Empire if he sees this. There are many mountain areas that cannot withstand the drought as it is very difficult for them to get water. During this time of the year, there will be many people lining up at the warehouse to get food from the provincial capital! Now that they have this creation from Princess Consort, the people won’t have to worry about their food and water anymore…”

Thud!

Liu Yin dropped the watermelon she held in her arms; it fell hard on the ground, shattering into five or six pieces. It had also interrupted the conversation between Governor Chen and Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei who was still in her plain white robe turned around to look at her, lifting the corner of her eyes a little. “What’s wrong?”

“Lord, Lord Chen, just now, did he address you the Princess Consort?!” Liu Yin started to suspect that her ears were malfunctioning.

Unexpectedly, Helian Wei Wei blinked mischievously and admitted generously, “I forgot to tell you that I’m actually a girl.”

No, it’s not about the gender!

But… Prin, Princess Consort!?

Liu Yin was so shocked that she immediately knelt down. “I didn’t know that Princess Consort has come…”

“Shhh!” Helian Wei Wei placed her finger on her lips and pulled her up from the ground. “I purposely disguised myself before coming here so that people can’t find out.”

Liu Yin was still a bit baffled, but she was clever enough to remain silent at this moment.

No wonder, no wonder Governor Chen is not as dignified when he is facing Lord Wei. On the contrary, he is unreasonably polite. It turns out that it is because Lord Wei has a strong background.

As predicted along the line, then wouldn’t Private Advisor Long have a stronger background since Governor Chen has been following behind Private Advisor Long willingly?

Someone who is even more powerful than the current princess consort, isn’t that…

Liu Yin was so surprised that she could not continue to dwell on the answer!

On the other side, Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand to save the carrier pigeon from the little one. His gaze gradually turned cold as he read the slip of paper that he had removed from the pigeon.

“What’s wrong?” Helian Wei Wei naturally noticed his mood swings.

Baili Jia Jue handed over the letter in his hands and said indifferently, “The snake has entered the hole, we should take action as well.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows while scanning the content on the paper. There was a vague hint of mockery at the corner of her lips, these imperial officials are immensely dishonest, they still have so many dirty ideas even when they are all locked up in jail.

Do they really not know that one of the rules of being an official is that they should cut off all ties with people above them when they are in such a situation?

Perhaps, in that case, they might have a chance to live.

But they have deliberately chosen the most foolish way possible and sought help from the people above them? What’s the difference between seeking their own death?

Helian Wei Wei slightly raised her thin lips and said, “Have you settled everything for Fuping?”

“Yes, Fuping’s biggest problem is the drought, now that this problem is solved, the real county magistrate will take up his post three days later. You don’t have to worry as the new county magistrate is my man, he’ll get things done.” Baili Jia Jue sounded elegant as usual, he always had the special ability to convince other people.

Helian Wei Wei thought for a while and had the same opinion that they should s.h.i.+ft upward.
