Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

For several days in a row, people in the capital were in a state of panic, and the people kept their doors closed and did not dare to go out.

Lu Qingqing came to her grandmother's room early in the morning, "How are you doing, grandma? I heard from Grandma Qi that you have this leg problem again?"

"Alas! I may have been kneeling in the palace for a long time these past two days, and due to the weather, it's okay."

Mrs. Lu has been in the palace for the past few days, and Mrs. Lu has been suffering from severe pain in her legs these past two days.

Lu Qingqing frowned and hurriedly went forward to check on her grandmother's leg: "It's okay. My granddaughter made some plaster and I will apply it on you in a while. It will be fine in two days!"

She said while massaging her grandmother's legs.

Not to mention that Mrs. Lu found that her granddaughter's legs felt much more comfortable after pressing them twice. She praised her granddaughter's skillful hands repeatedly.

"Grandma will often come to give you massages whenever your granddaughter is at home. This will also relieve your old ailment."

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Lu reached out and smoothed the hair around her granddaughter's ears, and responded happily.

She suddenly thought of the imperial edict that Chu Haochen had presented at the palace banquet, and then asked seriously:

"Qingqing, you and King Chen's imperial edict granting marriage..."

Hearing that her grandmother finally remembered to ask about this matter, she smiled slightly and comforted her grandmother:

"My granddaughter didn't know about the imperial edict before she left. He had promised before that he would wait until his brother got married before coming to propose marriage. He must have been forced to propose it this time, right?"

Old Mrs. Lu patted the back of her hand and said lovingly that they did not object to this marriage, but Princess Changning's temperament did not allow her to get along well with her granddaughter!

Lu Qingqing didn't know her family's worries, so she comforted her grandmother not to worry. Princess Changning was actually a good person, but she was a bit aloof. This wouldn't bother her!

Hearing what her granddaughter said, Mrs. Lu reached out and tapped her forehead, saying angrily that she felt like she wanted to get married right away.

"Oh, where is grandma! You don't know how much Qingqing wants to spend more time with you, your grandfather, and your mother."

The grandfather and grandson chatted in the room for a long time. She didn't know that Chu Haochen was so busy at this time that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.

At this time, he led people to search the Wang family. Their palace had a marriage relationship with the Mei family before. The emperor would rather kill by mistake than let a fish slip through the net this time.

And this time, some evidence collected with the help of Liu Mansion helped the emperor search for a lot of property.

Unexpectedly, the prince's palace secretly helped the Mei family to embezzle and accept bribes. He was a good hand in making money. All the property was secretly provided to the Mei family to raise private soldiers.

"Take these people away for me."

Chu Haochen's cold command sounded, and the palace was filled with cries and howls. Even Wang Zhi, who had received the news in advance and escaped, was captured.

Everyone in the palace who was imprisoned in the sky prison saw Wang Zhi being dragged in like a dead dog, with a look of horror in their eyes.

Looking at Wang Zhi, whose body was covered with scars and whose head was lowered, and who didn't know whether to live or die, everyone felt panic and worry in their hearts.

"Zhi'er? Zhi'er?" Mrs. Wang grabbed the railing of the cell and called out to her son with worry in her eyes.

"Papa" the prison head shook the whip in his hand and pointed at Mrs. Wang in a cold voice: "If you are shouting, don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing the cold eyes of the cell leader and the crackling whip in his hand, everyone retreated towards the wall behind. Only Mrs. Wang shouted for her son regardless of life or death.

The nanny next to her quickly stepped forward to pull Mrs. Wang away and persuaded her in a low voice: "Madam, please stop shouting. Let's take a look first. Shouting like this will not help!"

Mrs. Wang turned her head and threw herself on Grandma's shoulder with tears on her face.

"Hmm...Mom...Zhi'er, he..."

"Ugh......"

Chu Haochen had already told Wang Zhi to leave a sigh of relief. He had heard that he had caused trouble for Qing'er before.

No matter what happens to the Wang family this time, the final outcome has already been determined, and the emperor will never leave anyone behind.

At this time, in Prince Rui's mansion.

Chu Haochen strode toward Xiao Zimo's study, where Xiao Ziyi and his brothers were drinking tea. When they saw him coming, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Is everything done?" Xiao Zimo's cold voice sounded.

The waiter brought hot tea and put it in front of Chu Haochen's table. He picked up the tea and blew on it twice, then sipped it lightly.

"What about you, are you clean this time?" Chu Haochen put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyelids and asked the Xiao Zimo brothers opposite.

"You don't know how many chicken thieves that surnamed Mei has, but I spent a lot of effort to dig out all his rat holes."

Xiao Ziyi muttered with a hint of displeasure on his face.

If they hadn't defended in time this time, they would have had a backup plan and ordered people to transport all the iron ore and gold and silver out of Dayuan. Fortunately, they received the secret report and intercepted it in time.

"But who do you think this tip is from..."

Xiao Ziyi looked at the fifth brother beside him and Chu Haochen opposite him.

Xiao Zimo's eyebrows also frowned slightly, but Chu Haochen still caught the flash of worry in his eyes.

"Are you really worried about who the person who sent the secret report is?"

Hearing Chu Haochen's words, Xiao Zimo nodded lightly.

Xiao Ziyi didn't think as much as his Fifth Emperor brother thought. He leaned on the stool and said easily: "Hey, no matter who he is, as long as he is not an enemy of our Dayuan, I think he doesn't like Cangnan's good people. .”

When Xiao Zimo heard what his ninth brother said, his face darkened and he shook his head helplessly.

When Chu Haochen heard Xiao Ziyi's words, the expression on his face relaxed, and he raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

"What King Yi said is true. No matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, we must first resolve the situation in front of us."

This time, there were quite a few officials in the capital who had their homes confiscated and were exiled, not counting those who were executed. Chu Haochen warned Xiao Zimo.

"You can take advantage of this moment to fill the gap."

Xiao Zimo didn't understand what Chu Haochen said. This was the right time. Even if his father found out later, it would be hard to blame him.

At this time, Chu Haochen put a piece of paper on the ground, with a string of names densely written on it, and asked Xiao Zimo to consider it himself.

"I have done almost everything I can to help you. You also know what I ask for. When the day comes that you will be honored as a great treasure, you must keep your promise."

Chu Haochen smoothed his robe at this time, stood up slowly, raised his head and said to Xiao Zimo with a serious face.

Xiao Ziyi, who was next to him, raised his eyebrows and looked between the two of them. Just when he was about to ask, he heard the cold voice of the fifth brother.

"Don't worry, even if it's not for you, I will keep my promise for Tiantian."

Chu Haochen raised his eyebrows, raised an evil smile on his lips, cupped his hands towards him, turned and walked out of the study.
