Unfortunately, however, the late queen eventually passed away due to other reasons.

Feng Zun was heartbroken and wanted to die with the late queen.

But before the late queen died, she issued her last order of her life: "Ah Feng, help me see what Ming'er's future wife will look like and protect her well."

This order became her motivation to live.

So, Feng Zun has been staying in Xuan Palace for these years, recuperating from his injuries and practicing martial arts. His internal strength is gone, but his skills are getting stronger and stronger.

“I know that when the late queen was alive, she could enter the court and fight on the battlefield. Her literary talent was not inferior to that of the new champion, and her martial arts were even better than that of the late emperor. She was extremely intelligent. As her subordinates, it is normal for you to be proud.

But now that Xuan Feng has recognized her master, from today on, Mu Zhi is your master. You must obey her orders unconditionally and protect Queen Xumi until your death. This is your life mission."

"Follow Feng Zun's instructions."

They were sincerely convinced of Feng Zun.

Yun Qingluo and his group traveled for three consecutive days. They changed horses at the secret inn on the first floor and were able to continue on their journey.

Along the way, the scenery became more and more desolate, as if we had entered a world completely different from the bustling capital.

The ghost doctor looked at the increasingly desolate scene around him and couldn't help but sigh: "It's getting more and more desolate. The prosperity of the capital city is really dazzling. If you don't come out to take a look, you would think that everything is good."

He looked around and saw more and more dead bodies along the way.

Some died of starvation, some died of freezing, some died of illness...both young and old.

Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo also felt heavy in their hearts. They recalled what they had seen and heard during the disaster relief in the southwest. The current scene made Yun Qingluo feel as if he had returned to that time.

She clenched her fists, and a hint of anger and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Mo Beichen silently lowered the curtains, looked down at the copper coin in his hand, then sighed softly and said, "Luoluo, after we go back, I want someone to take Jun Ye to the folks for training, and let him travel around as a commoner."

Yun Qingluo nodded slightly to show her agreement.

This also means that Mo Beichen will have to guard the kingdom for the children for another ten years. However, who will help guard it has not yet been decided.

At the moment, she fully supports Mo Beichen's decision. Originally, she wanted to discuss this matter with Mo Beichen when she returned, as learning requires a combination of theory and practice.

Only by allowing children to experience the sufferings of the world firsthand can they truly understand the sufferings of the people.

Such experience will have an immeasurable and far-reaching impact on his future growth and achievements.

When Mo Beichen heard Yun Qingluo support him, he clenched the copper coins in his hand slightly.

This copper coin was obtained yesterday.

They had left more time for a rest at noon yesterday, so they took the small road when they were hurrying on their way.

As a result, on the way, they were suddenly blocked by a child.

The child fell in front of the carriage and begged bitterly: "Please, be kind and give us something to eat! My grandfather and sister are almost starving to death... I have money and can pay!" As he said that, he tightly grasped a bulging little wallet hidden in his chest.

Yunying saw that there must be something hidden, so she asked the child: "Since you have money, why don't you go buy food instead of intercepting us here? If I had driven a little faster, I'm afraid you would have died."

However, the child did not answer Yunying's question directly, but kept begging them for some food, repeatedly emphasizing that he had enough money to pay.

Mu Zhi lifted the curtain and saw that the child looked unhappy, so she immediately asked Yun Ying to give the child the fried cake wrapped in oil paper.

When Yunying handed it to the child, the child took a few steps back in fear, but kept one hand protecting his chest.

Yunying deliberately slowed down her tone, "Weren't you so brave to block the road just now? Are you scared now?"

Seeing this, Yunying used his inner strength to throw the pastry into the child's arms.

The child immediately hugged the pastry tightly in a panic. When Yunying turned around, he said tremblingly, "Sister, I, I have money. Here, here it is for you."

As he spoke, the child took out the purse in his arms and handed it in the direction of Yunying.

Yunying sighed, "Keep it well, don't show off your wealth, and remember not to be careless in the future."

"No, no, sister, Grandpa taught us not to accept charity. Please accept the money, otherwise I can't take it. I'm sorry, Grandpa, wuwuwu..."

Yunying was standing in the drizzle. Seeing that the child was about to cry again, she quickly took it and said, "Okay, okay, I'll accept it, but the money you gave me is too much. Wait, I'll get you some food."

Yunying took the purse with a surprised look on her face.

It's so heavy, how much does it cost?

She concealed her thoughts and walked quickly to the carriage to get her things.

The child looked at Yunying's back, kowtowed three times, and quickly ran into the woods nearby.

When Yunying came back with the things, the child was gone.

"Why is he running? This kid is hungry. What a strange child." Yunying muttered and turned back to the carriage.

"How about we ask someone to look for it?" Yunying came back and handed the purse into the carriage.

The ghost doctor took the purse, opened it impatiently, and smiled proudly: "Haha, I guessed right! Senior brother, you lost to me this time!" His face was filled with the joy of victory.

Yunying sat on the shaft of the cart, complaining with a depressed look on her face: "Oh, there are actually stones inside? That kid is really cunning. Not only did he sneak away, but he also pretended to be unwilling to eat the food given out of pity. He is such a liar! Even if we didn't give him money, he wouldn't starve. Why did he do this?"

Mo Beichen took the purse and poured out everything inside.

Yun Qingluo, who was standing by, saw with sharp eyes that in addition to the stone, there was also a piece of white cloth and a copper coin.

Mo Beichen reached out to pick up the white cloth, and after looking at it carefully, he was surprised to find that the words on it were written in blood.

"My grandson does not know how to adapt, please forgive me." This short and powerful sentence made everyone present understand the deep meaning behind it.

"This child was probably born in a prominent family. His family's teachings were too old-fashioned, so his grandfather resorted to this desperate measure. He has learned a lot of saintly ways, but now he would rather starve to death than accept charity from others. I guess his grandfather had no choice but to come up with this idea, asking the child to exchange "money" for food. This blood letter should have been written by the child's grandfather."

Yun Qingluo turned around and said to the outside, "Yun Ying, pack up the things in the last carriage and bring the grandfather and grandson here. Tell them that there is a nobleman who is willing to save them, but the condition is to serve the nobleman for ten years."

The last carriage had already delivered most of the medicine along the way.

Mo Beichen glanced at the words on the white cloth, thoughtfully, and silently supported Yun Qingluo's decision.

Although Yun Ying couldn't understand why, she pulled Feng Tianxing and called two people to look for the grandfather and his two grandchildren.
