After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

However, Xue Jinruo was not prepared to continue following Master Pang's route this time.

She suddenly took Sheng Jingze's hand: "Your Majesty, we have been walking along this road for most of the day, and we still haven't seen the top of the mountain. Why don't we go another way."

Her words made Master Pang even more nervous.

"When I was changing clothes just now, I saw there was a road over there. Why don't we go around it." She said, pointing to the road the child told them.

Master Pang was afraid that his final plan would be exposed, so he quickly stopped him: "Princess, there is a dead end over there and there is no way to go up. It's better to just go like this. Don't worry, you can reach the top of the mountain in no time."

Xue Jinruo pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at him without saying anything. Instead, she turned to Sheng Jingze and said, "Your Majesty, we have been walking for most of the day anyway. Why don't we try walking around from that side? If it doesn't work, we can Just turn back and come back.”

For a time, the choice fell into Sheng Jingze's hands.

Sheng Jingze hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then just listen to the princess."

The group of people then hurried on and continued walking up the mountain.

Although they have entered the main topic here, Sheng Chenghan has not left the capital yet. It was His Majesty who invited Sheng Chenghan into the palace.

"My son, please see your father." Sheng Chenghan's injury was completely healed and he could move freely, so he quickly raised his hand.

His Majesty looked at his appearance and felt a little excited for a moment.

He nodded happily, and then asked: "You should already know that I am going to send you out to provide disaster relief. Aren't you curious as to why I only summoned you today?"

"Of course there is a reason for what my father did. I dare not ask more questions." Sheng Chenghan's attitude was distant, like a child who was angry with his elders.

When His Majesty saw his appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "You are already a man who is about to start a family, but you still have the temper of a child. I have heard from the regent before that you have suffered a lot. I'm worried that running all the way will cause your wound to open, so I haven't asked you to go on the road for a long time."

"My son's body is no longer seriously injured." Sheng Chenghan was a little excited for a moment, "Since my father knew that my son was injured, he must also know who caused Cheng's injury? Why didn't he be held accountable?"

His Majesty's face looked a little heavy this time, but he still shook his head.

Not all principles and justice in this world can be solved through accountability.

He did not continue to answer the question, but said: "Since you are well, let's hit the road today. The advance troops from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development have already passed over in Jiangnan. I think the disaster relief matters are almost ready. You just need to Just think of a solution to this waterlogging problem."

Sheng Chenghan felt very uncomfortable when he heard him change the subject, but he couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only cup his hands and say, "I obey the order."

In this way, Sheng Chenghan immediately returned to the small courtyard to pack his things.

Qingyue looked at him busy packing his luggage and thought he was leaving the small courtyard, so she kept standing at the door, hesitating and not daring to go in.

Sheng Chenghan naturally discovered her presence and hurriedly waved her in. Although he said this, the movements of his hands never stopped: "What are you asking for from me today? Why are you so reserved all of a sudden? In the past You can enter my house whenever you want, what happened today?"

Qingyue rubbed her sleeves vigorously: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes." Sheng Chenghan responded.

"Then will you come back?" Qingyue's eyes were full of loneliness and disappointment.

She was abandoned by her parents, and was finally picked up by Xue Jinruo and met Sheng Chenghan, but she hadn't seen Xue Jinruo for a long time, and now even Sheng Chenghan was leaving.

Sheng Chenghan noticed her feeling of loss, but did not offer any words of comfort. Instead, he continued: "This is not certain. If I can come back alive, I will definitely live in this small courtyard."

"Where are you going?" Qingyue's heart was tugged.

"Disaster relief." Sheng Chenghan rarely looked serious, "Your lady went to Hebei, and I have to be ordered to go to Jiangnan, but we should be back at about the same time."

Qingyue was relieved when she heard this. It turned out that she had not been abandoned.

Sheng Chenghan knew that his journey would be unlucky, and since he didn't have a suitable doctor around him, it would be troublesome to deal with some things.

He stared at Qingyue closely for a long time, and then asked: "Do you have medical skills?"

"I know a little bit." Although Qingyue didn't know why he asked suddenly, she still answered truthfully, "I learned some basic skills from the lady before, and I know how to do simple bandaging."

"That's enough. Do you want to follow me to Jiangnan?" Sheng Chenghan asked quickly.

Qingyue's eyes shone when she heard this, and she quickly asked again: "Can I really go with you?"

"Of course."

"Okay!" Qingyue jumped three feet high in excitement.

After the group of them packed up, they set out on the road.

As for Xue Jinruo, following the path pointed by the child, he quickly reached the top of the mountain.

But the scene in front of them surprised everyone. They originally thought that there were no houses on this mountain, and there would be some tents at least, but they didn't expect that there were only a few straw mats, and all the villagers crowded on the straw mats to sleep.

"This...this..." Vice General Xu was shocked and speechless when he saw this scene.

Sheng Jingze has given Master Pang several opportunities along the way, but since the other party doesn't cherish them, he doesn't have to be soft-hearted anymore.

He asked in a cold voice: "Master Pang, what is going on?"

"This...this..." Master Pang knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"What happened here?" Sheng Chengtang asked.

"There is no locust plague in Luoping County at all. It's because the villagers can't grow anything. They can only drink rainwater and eat the northwest wind every day. It's coming soon. It's time to pay taxes. Magistrate Wu and I really There is no other way, so I came up with this strategy just to get some money for the people."

If Xue Jinruo and Sheng Jingze hadn't already asked the aunt, they would have been deceived by the person in front of them.

Sheng Jingze frowned and was about to continue following his words: "Then why didn't you tell the truth today and instead took us on a detour?"

"Xiaguan...Xiaoguan really doesn't know how to explain..." Master Pang was already crying with regret.
