By the evening of that day, the Third Prince Liu Jinyan and the Yongyi Marquis Shuhu's troops had arrived ten miles outside Yunmeng City.

Because there were too many refugees, the city gates were blocked.

They didn't dare to rush forward and shout to open the city gate.

"Jiaojiao, you should go back with Aunt Hua first. The flood has just passed and there are many victims. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

"I have already sent a letter to your mother. Otherwise, she will be very worried."

Shu Hu had a headache and tried to persuade his daughter Shu Jiaorong, also known as Tao Jiaojiao.

However, Tao Jiaojiao turned her head away and refused to leave.

Because the third prince Liu Jinyan was also here, she had not yet expressed her feelings to him.

Can't just leave like this.

Moreover, she had seen along the way that the situation was very dangerous.

She was worried about the safety of her father and the third prince.

She felt that her luck had always been good, and with her following them, perhaps she could help the two of them.

"Dad, I'm already here, just let me follow you. Maybe I can help you."

Tao Jiaojiao walked over, pulled Shu Hu's sleeve and started acting coquettishly.

She was very confident about this because Yu Ansheng was able to become an imperial physician by relying on herself.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and was involved in the murder of the prince.

This is not her fault.

Shu Hu held his forehead helplessly.

"I don't expect you to help me. You just need to be careful about your own safety. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your mother."

Shu Hu said this with a frown, his eyes full of love and doting as he looked at Tao Jiaojiao.

"I know, I know. Daddy treats Jiaojiao the best! Can you just let me follow him? Look, the Third Prince has brought so many soldiers here. My daughter will be fine."

Tao Jiaojiao was acting coquettishly.

Shu Hu felt relieved after hearing this, so he just shook his head and laughed, no longer insisting on letting Tao Jiaojiao go back.

When Shuxin was around, he was always indifferent to her.

It was because he had already known that Shuxin was not his biological daughter.

But Tao Jiaojiao is different. She is his biological daughter and she has not been with him for so many years. Now that he has finally found her, he naturally loves her more.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to the Third Prince and ask him to send a few more people to follow you."

Thinking of this, Shu Hu stood up and was about to go out.

"Dad, no need. I'll go by myself."

Tao Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped Shu Hu.

Perhaps the Third Prince was too busy these days and had no time to see her, so she didn't find an opportunity.

Now the team finally stopped and no longer hurried on.

Naturally, she would find an opportunity to meet him.

Seeing the shame on his daughter's face, Shu Hu had nothing to understand.

He thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Anyway, the eldest prince is now detained and the second prince is dead.

Among your majesty's adult sons, the only ones left are the crown prince and the third prince.

The prince's health was too poor and he had to take medicine all year round.

Many people privately said that the prince would not live long.

If this is true, then the Third Prince's ascension to the throne is just around the corner.

Considering the affection between Jiaojiao and the third prince, and her family's status.

By then, his daughter will be the queen.

Then he might as well go a step further.

Thinking of this, Shu Hu quickly agreed and asked his personal guards to escort Tao Jiaojiao to the third prince's tent.

Tao Jiaojiao arrived at the place, but did not rush in.

It seems that Liu Jinyan is busy.

Only the eunuch brought by Liu Jinyan came out to greet Tao Jiaojiao.

"Miss Shu, our prince is in the middle of a meeting. I'm afraid it will take a while. Why don't you go back first?"

Li Pingchuan has been serving Liu Jinyan since he was a child and is Liu Jinyan's confidant.

He knew that Miss Shu was the woman his master favored, so he did not dare to neglect her.

He just smiled and said this.

Tao Jiaojiao remained silent.

She bit her lip. This was the first time she took the initiative to look for Liu Jinyan and was turned away.

Although Liu Jinyan was busy, she still felt uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Eunuch Xiao Lizi. I don't know when His Highness will finish his work. I have nothing to do, so I'll wait here."

Tao Jiaojiao refused to leave.

She hasn't seen Liu Jinyan for several days.

I don't know how he feels about me following him.

I’m afraid that as time goes by, he will fade away.

So she had to see him tonight.

As she spoke, she stuffed a purse into Li Pingchuan's pocket.

Li Pingchuan originally wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he accepted it.

He thought that his master had always treated this girl differently, and if he really rejected her today.

When the master asks me about my crime, I will be punished.

Besides, he felt that this person might be the future consort of the Third Prince, and she must not be offended easily.

Tao Jiaojiao felt much more at ease when she saw that Li Pingchuan accepted her offering.

"Then Miss Shu, please wait a moment. I will go in and take a look."

Li Pingchuan said with a smile.

But he only said to go and take a look, and didn't say that he must talk to Tao Jiaojiao.

Tao Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable, but she smiled and nodded.

As soon as Li Pingchuan walked into the tent, Liu Jinyan glanced at him.

Li Pingchuan understood what his master meant and immediately stepped forward and whispered to him.

Liu Jinyan's expression eased slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Clearly in a good mood.

Sitting below was a skinny young man.

Dressed like a scholar, he looks refined and smart.

He was wearing a grey coarse cloth gown, which was clean and tidy, but inevitably worn out.

He had heard the noise outside just now.

He heard a woman's voice.

The sound was crisp, sweet and very pleasant to hear.

Now seeing Liu Jinyan's expression, he became even more curious.

Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, he stood up and said goodbye to Liu Jinyan.

"Your Highness, in that case, I will go back now."

"Take care, Mr. Dongtang. Tomorrow... don't forget your promise."

Liu Jinyan put away his smile and spoke seriously.

"This is natural. Your Highness can rest assured."

The young man's eyes sparkled and he looked very confident.

Liu Jinyan felt disdainful in his heart but did not show it on his face.

He just smiled and let Leo take him out.

He followed Little Leo out of the tent and saw a pink figure.

At this time, Tao Jiaojiao was admiring the full moon in the sky.

Hearing the sound, she turned around.

She thought it was Liu Jinyan who came out.

So she had a smile on her face and a shy and angry look in her eyes.

In this state, under the reflection of the moonlight, her 50% beauty actually looked ten times more beautiful and charming.

The young man called Mr. Dongtang was stunned.

Tao Jiaojiao discovered that there was a strange man there and immediately exclaimed.

"You, who are you?"

Tao Jiaojiao stepped back in horror, her face full of shame and anger.

However, in the eyes of the young man, this girl was even more stunningly beautiful.

Admiration instantly arose in his heart.

"I'm sorry for offending you, young lady. I'm just a scholar, Liu Dongtang, also known as Mr. Dongtang."

He bowed to Tao Jiaojiao with a gentle smile on his face, but his tone was unconsciously a little arrogant.
