"Master, please come this way!"

Li Yuelan followed a child into this remote courtyard. There were quite a few such remote courtyards in the capital. Li Yuelan didn't doubt anything at first.

"Where are you taking me?"

Li Yuelan is not a fool. Although this courtyard looks ordinary from the outside, it is only after entering that she realizes that this courtyard is actually a large house with four entrances.

Xuan Yue led the way. He had always known that these children in your family were extraordinary, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother of the Li family, who had become the number one scholar early in the morning, would be so alert.

"Master, please rest assured. I was also ordered to bring you here. You will be able to see Miss Li Yuezhu soon."

Xuan Yue's words were not polite at all, which made Li Yuelan even more suspicious.

Looking at the pavilions and pavilions, the courtyard is full of flowers. Even if there is no servant in the courtyard, they are all neat and tidy. It is already autumn. The leaves outside have turned yellow and have already fallen to the ground. Look.

This yard is incredibly clean.

"What did you do to him?"

Li Yuelan had to doubt.

"You don't need to be so alert. I think Miss Li Yuezhu is busy in the kitchen now. Just feel free to follow me."

Xuan Yue said the word eldest lady with gritted teeth, as if she had some deep hatred.

Li Yuelan felt at ease now. No matter what they said, if these people arrested his sister, they would definitely be targeting him, and they would definitely not hurt Yuezhu easily now.

Following Xuan Yue suspiciously, Li Yuelan also saw that this boy must belong to a wealthy family, and he could tell by his behavior.

Xuan Yue brought Li Yuelan to the front hall. Xiao Jinyan had already made tea and was waiting in the front hall.

Li Yuelan never imagined that the person who invited him over would be the Crown Prince.

"Wei Chen has met the Crown Prince."

Li Yuelan's heart, which had been relieved at first, was now lifted up again.

Everyone in the court now knows that the Crown Prince is unpredictable. Although he is not a treacherous person, he is definitely not a kind person.

"No need to be polite."

Xiao Jinyan was making tea and placed a brazier in the room. Although the weather outside was not very cold yet, Xuan Yue had already arranged the brazier.

"Come in and sit down."

Xiao Jinyan didn't say much. He did have some appreciation for Li Yuezhu's brother. Not to mention that he became the number one scholar at a young age, but he could tell by his visible growth in the past six months.

One or two.

Li Yuelan didn't show any pretense, and sat down opposite Xiao Jinyan. Looking at Xiao Jinyan behind the curl of smoke, Li Yuelan squinted her eyes and already thought about many possibilities.

As for the Crown Prince, Li Yuelan believed that nothing could threaten him, but he didn't know if the Crown Prince would let his sister go easily.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Yuelan sat quietly, both of them silent, and their thoughts were all hidden under their calm faces, making it difficult to see at a glance.

"I heard that you are currently studying in the Imperial College."

"Thanks to the emperor's grace, I can learn some skills in the Imperial College and then serve the country."

Xiao Jinyan saw that the tea had been boiled, took out a piece of wet cloth, put it on the handle of the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Li Yuelan.

The teacup is transparent, with a few tiny tea buds inside. After pouring hot water and standing upright in the teacup, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

And this transparent tea cup turned out to be the glass cup that Li Yuezhu went to sell in the pawn shop, and it got into his hands for some unknown reason.

"Don't be modest, No. 1 Scholar. How long have you been in the Imperial College? I heard that all the students in the Imperial College follow your lead. You are really good at it."

Xiao Jinyan was not polite when he spoke, and even though Li Yuelan was Li Yuezhu's biological brother, he was not soft-spoken at all.

"No, no, the recent developments in the capital have been very chaotic. The eldest prince, Xia Ma, the governor of Zhongzhou, is missing another arm. The prince is really very capable."

Xiao Jinyan took the tea and sniffed it first, then looked at it carefully, and finally took another sip, tasting it and narrowing his eyes with satisfaction.

"What does the dismounting of the governor of Chungju have to do with me?"

Li Yuelan just listened to the prince's calm words, and the fire in his heart suddenly rose.

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. His Royal Highness is a kind-hearted person, and he has never had any relationship with me. In addition, I have just arrived in the capital not long ago, and I probably haven't stayed there as long as you. Why should I remove the governor of Zhongzhou from his position?"

Of course, Li Yuelan would not believe what the prince said. Everyone knew the truth of the matter.

"If the governor of Chungju has nothing to do with the Crown Prince, then the price of food probably has something to do with you, right?"

Xiao Jinyan shrugged indifferently and listened to Li Yuelan continue.

"From the beginning of spring this year, some people silently purchased large quantities of grain until the beginning of autumn. As a result, there was no grain in the national treasury. No matter how good this year's harvest is, it cannot stop the soaring price of grain."

Li Yuelan seemed even more angry when she said this.

"Do you know that while you are leisurely drinking tea here, there are people freezing to death and starving to death outside? You have taken away all the food, leaving those helpless people how to live."

Li Yuelan became more and more excited as she spoke.

Li Yuezhu just walked to the front hall with the dinner plate. On the plate were the pastries carefully prepared by Yanzhi, as well as the health soup she made.

I was holding the dinner plate carefully, fearing that the soup inside would spill out, when I walked to the front door of the front hall and heard my brother's impassioned voice.

"What?"

Li Yuezhu walked in and asked in surprise.

Li Yuelan originally wanted to take advantage of Xiao Jinyan, so she was so reckless and wanted to force Xiao Jinyan to reveal his flaws. Unexpectedly, his sister came in.

"Yue Zhu, are you okay?"

Li Yuelan stood up and walked to Li Yuezhu's side. She took the plate in Li Yuezhu's hand with one hand and squeezed Li Yuezhu's shoulder with the other hand. She patted her back again, as if to confirm something. When she saw her sister, she just

When she stood in front of him, dressed in men's clothing and intact, Li Yuelan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, what are you doing? What were you two talking about just now? The price of food has actually gone up?"

After Li Yuezhu asked these three questions, Li Yuelan didn't know how to speak.

Li Yuelan didn't know the relationship between his sister and the prince. Of course, seeing his sister walking freely and intact in the yard, she thought he must have misunderstood something.

"No, brother didn't say anything."
