Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 437 Her trust is precious

Xiao Yan'an was still confused and couldn't guess Ji Chuhe's plan at all.

Ji Chuhe's voice rang out again, "The prince was worried about the people and worked too hard. He suddenly fell ill tonight and has a high fever. It is not suitable for him to move around. He needs to rest and recuperate. Therefore, there is no way to send the remaining supplies to the county towns one by one. We can only ask the county governors to come and collect them."

When Xiao Yanan heard this, he immediately raised his hand to support his forehead, looking in pain, "Madam, my head hurts so much! I must be sick!"

"Quickly send the prince back to the inn." Ji Chuhe ordered immediately.

The news that Xiao Yan'an was ill reached the ears of the Funing County Magistrate.

"I saw him alive and well today, how come he suddenly became ill?"

He didn't believe it and immediately rushed to the post house.

Almost all the doctors in the city were invited here. Although they could not provide medicinal materials now, their medical skills were still there.

Xiao Yan'an lay on the bed with all the curtains drawn.

Ji Chuhe stood by the bed, looking anxious.

A doctor was taking Xiao Yanan's pulse, his face looking extremely solemn.

As soon as his hand touched Xiao Yan'an's wrist, he felt Xiao Yan'an's hot body temperature.

And Xiao Yanan's pulse, why is it sometimes strong and sometimes weak!

This... this clearly looks like some incurable disease!

"Doctor, how is the prince? Is he okay?" Ji Chuhe asked anxiously.

"Madam, the prince's pulse is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Does he have any hidden illness?"

"The prince is not ill, but he has some heart disease. His emotions cannot fluctuate too much, otherwise, he will be restless and have a high fever. Today, seeing the people of Funing are so miserable, it must have triggered the prince's heart disease."

"So that's the case. Let the prince have a good rest and don't let him work too hard. Prescribe some heat-clearing medicine and he should be fine."

"Okay, hurry up and get the medicine for the prince."

"Yes." The doctor immediately retreated.

The governor of Funing County stood beside the bed and carefully opened the curtains a little. He saw that Xiao Yan'an's face was abnormally flushed, and he no longer had any doubts.

"Mr. County Magistrate, when the other county magistrates come to collect the supplies, I hope you can help distribute them."

"Okay." The Funing County Magistrate responded softly.

"Is there anything else, Lord County Magistrate?" Ji Chuhe asked when he saw that he didn't want to leave.

"Madam, to be honest, there is one thing I don't understand. How could the prince be so confident in handing over those supplies to the county governors of each city and letting them arrange for them?"

"Ahem! Because I don't want to care about their life or death." Xiao Yan'an suddenly spoke, his voice sounding soft and weak.

The governor of Funing County was shocked.

Then he reacted, suddenly lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, please show me a way to survive! If you can save my life, I will obey your orders from now on!"

Anyone who can become the governor of a city is certainly not a fool.

After Xiao Yan'an's reminder, he had seen through the inside story. He also believed that the emperor would definitely send someone to investigate, and this matter would definitely not end up in nothing as he thought.

"Do you really believe that I, a prince with only status but no real power, can save your life?" Xiao Yan'an asked.

"Believe it! I believe it!" The Funing County Magistrate responded immediately.

He has no other choice now.

"Okay, since you trust me, I will show you a way out. No matter what happens next, you must follow my arrangements. Can you do that?"

"Yes! I can definitely do it!"

"Okay, you go back first."

"Sir, the environment of the posthouse is too simple. Why don't you and your wife move to my county capital? You can have a good rest in my house."

"No, it's troublesome to move here and there." Xiao Yan'an refused directly.

"I have a thousand-year-old ginseng in my house. I will go back and get it for His Royal Highness to nourish his body."

"Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate." Xiao Yan'an did not refuse.

The governor of Funing County immediately went back to get ginseng.

As soon as he left, Xiao Yan'an sat up and opened the bed curtain.

"Ma'am, please take these hot water bottles away. I'm dying of heat."

"There is no outsider here, why don't you just get out of bed, Prince?" Ji Chuhe said with a smile.

Xiao Yanan slapped his head and said, "I must be confused because of the heat!"

He immediately got out of bed and Ji Chuhe handed him a fan.

"As long as we spread the news, the county governors of those cities will definitely come overnight to take the supplies back. We will only give them the batch sent by the emperor, and we won't share any of the supplies we bring ourselves." Ji Chuhe spoke slowly.

"Well! What happens after we distribute the supplies?"

"By then, the people sent by the emperor to investigate will surely have arrived. Whether it is the Marquis of Wuyang or the Duke of Rong, they will hold on to this matter and will not let the emperor get away with it. It depends on whether these county governors are willing to take such a big blame."

"They definitely don't want to. But what can they do if they don't want to? They have no choice at all."

"What if they see a glimmer of hope for survival? They will definitely grasp this glimmer of hope and do everything possible to save their lives."

"That's right." Xiao Yan'an nodded in agreement.

"The emperor doesn't want the prince to return alive. The one who killed the prince must be one of the governors of these cities. We will stay in Funing. When the emperor is forced to send someone to investigate, our crisis will be almost resolved. As long as we are careful, we can escape. But we don't know when the emperor will send someone."

"It will only take half a month at most." Xiao Yan'an said confidently. Then he had a new question, "Why did we choose Funing?"

"Among these county governors, the Funing County Governor is the easiest to control."

"Madam, how do you know so much about these county governors?"

Of course we had dealings in the previous life.

"Not only do I know these county governors better, I also have some understanding of the ministers in the court, and this is all thanks to my teacher. After all, we have to help the third prince win the position of crown prince." Ji Chuhe explained softly.

"Oh." Xiao Yan'an didn't seem to have any doubts, but he didn't believe Ji Chuhe's words in his heart.

He is no longer the same Xiao Yanan as before.

It's not as easy to fool as before.

However, even if Ji Chuhe was not telling the truth, he didn't care.

Because these are not important things, there must be a reason why she didn't say anything.

I believe that one day, he will become someone Ji Chuhe completely trusts.

Ji Chuhe could only deploy it this way for now.

Next, take one step at a time and see how it goes.

The governor of Funing County kept his promise and soon brought a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Ji Chuhe took the ginseng and thanked him, "Thank you, County Magistrate."

"Madam, you are too polite. Is the prince feeling better now?"

"Better now. County Magistrate, can I spare you a moment? I want to ask you something."
