Quick Wear: The Gold Digger Was Influenced by Love Brain

"I'll die if I want to, but my child is only six years old and hasn't lived long enough. We haven't had a full meal for almost half a month!"

"The porridge given by the court actually contains sand. It doesn't fill me up at all!"

"Is the court going to give up on us?"

……

Xiaoyu hid behind the guards. If the guards hadn't stopped her, she would have been robbed of all her valuables by these people.

She was so frightened that she turned pale and hurried back to the carriage.

"My Lady, those below are disaster victims from Yizhou. I heard there was a flood there, which submerged many villages and towns."

"After they couldn't survive there, they fled here. However, the relief food the court distributed to them was not only thin porridge that was not filling enough, but also mostly mixed with sand. Now they are gathered together and are about to ask the governor of Qizhou for an explanation."

Liu Weiyue frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty has always been diligent and caring for the people. How could he leave so many disaster victims alone?"

"Now that the emperor is fighting in the front, the affairs of the court are handed over to the left prime minister and other ministers. Is this how they manage the country?"

Xiaoyu said with lingering fear, "We are women, we can't care so much, let's go quickly."

"If we are surrounded by these disaster victims, we will probably end up in trouble."

Liu Weiyue was about to speak.

The victims over there had already discovered their team and were gradually surrounding them.

I didn't know who knelt down first, but all the victims knelt down one after another.

"My lord, please save us and give us some food!"

"If we don't eat, we'll starve to death!"

"The imperial court doesn't care about us, and we have no way to survive!"

Liu Weiyue pushed aside the curtain and walked down from the carriage.

The guards quickly stopped her behind them.

"My lady, it's dangerous!"

Liu Weiyue certainly knew that these disaster victims might attack her at any time in order to survive.

However, the number of Dragon Guards she brought with her this time was as many as one thousand.

Although there are many disaster victims, if a fight really breaks out, they are no match for the specially trained Dragon Guards who can fight one against a hundred.

She couldn't just stand by and watch these people die.

"The court has never given up on you. I will send people to investigate the matter of disaster relief grain and give you justice."

She glanced at the victims, whose faces were sallow and thin and whose eyes were green from hunger, and then ordered the team to stop temporarily, cook the food they brought into porridge and distribute it to the victims.

The food she originally brought was enough to feed her servants and the Dragon Guards for three to five days.

Now it is only enough for tens of thousands of disaster victims to have two meals.

Liu Weiyue did not delay and wrote a letter to her family, asking them to transport food from their own grain shop to provide relief to the victims.

This place is more than fifty miles away from the capital, and given that food needs to be transported, the earliest it can be delivered is tomorrow.

Liu Weiyue had no choice but to stay in Qizhou for one night to ensure that the disaster relief food was delivered the next day before leaving.

The governor of Qizhou rushed over.

"Your humble servant Wu Zhong pays respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"

Liu Weiyue had a cold face and didn't let him get up.

"Do you know about the sand in the porridge?"

Wu Zhong showed a bitter expression.

"Your Majesty, I know about this, but the grain shipped from the court was mixed with sand, and I can't do anything about it!"

Liu Weiyue narrowed her eyes and questioned, "How dare you, you enrich yourself and yet you dare to slander the imperial court?"

"Tell me, where did the food given by the court go?"

Wu Zhong cried out that he was wronged.

"Your Majesty, I have been writing letters to the court recently, asking them to redistribute the relief grain and report the matter of the grain being mixed with sand. However, I have not received a reply and I don't know what to do!"

He looked like he had seen a savior.

"Your Majesty dotes on you. Now that you have encountered this incident, you will definitely not let it go, right?"

Liu Weiyue was not sure whether what Wu Zhong said was true.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Wu Zhong was not afraid at all.

"Once your majesty has investigated thoroughly, you will know that I have been wrongly accused!"

"I am a humble official who is dedicated to the people and never has any selfish motives!"

"Since your majesty is worried about these disaster victims, why don't you stay for a while and discuss countermeasures with me, and leave after you have settled these disaster victims?"

Liu Weiyue was going to stay here for one night.

"it is good."

She wanted to see what tricks a prefect could play in front of thousands of Dragon Guards.

In the afternoon, Liu Weiyue asked someone to cook porridge and distributed it to the victims.

The victims had two full meals and were very grateful to her. They knelt down and thanked her at the gate of the prefectural government in a huge crowd.

Liu Weiyue originally did all this without expecting any gratitude.

But at this moment, being appreciated by so many people, she still felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in her heart.

In the evening, Wu Zhong held a welcoming banquet and invited Liu Weiyue to attend.

Xiao Yu chased away the messenger and went in and said happily, "Your Majesty, the prefect has specially arranged a welcoming banquet for you!"

Liu Weiyue stood in front of the window, looking at the deep blue sky.

"it's getting dark."

Xiaoyu let out a cry.

Liu Weiyue continued, "Have you ever heard of a saying?"

Xiaoyu's face was full of confusion.

"What?"

Liu Weiyue said, "On a dark and windy night, it is the time to kill and set fire."

Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, covering her mouth and whispering, "My Lady, who are you going to kill?"

"You want to set fire?"

Liu Weiyue said, "It's not me who killed anyone, but someone might take this opportunity to kill me."

"It's possible that Wu Zhong is Yun Chongwen's man. This isn't a welcoming banquet, but a Hongmen Banquet. Be on guard later. Don't let your guard down just because no one attacked us yesterday."

Yun Wanwan forced her out of the palace, definitely not with the high-sounding reason of simply wanting her to serve the empress dowager, but probably had other tricks up her sleeve.

If she died in the palace, Mo Huaiche would definitely hold Yun Wanwan accountable after he returned. After all, she was the queen. If she died, it would be because of Yun Wanwan's dereliction of duty in managing the harem.

But if I died outside without anyone noticing, it could be an accident.

Xiaoyu, "..."

"My queen, since you came out of the palace, you have been on guard all the time, always feeling that someone will harm you. You can't even sleep well. Aren't you worrying too much?"

"Are you afraid that the Queen will take advantage of this opportunity to attack you?"

"If you were really dead, the Emperor would definitely find out the truth. How dare the Empress?"

Liu Weiyue's eyes darkened.

"Even if she doesn't dare, she has to dare."

"The emperor is not in the palace. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack me. If she misses this opportunity, it will be difficult for her to attack me again with the emperor's protection in the future."

"Only when the emperor is not in the palace will she have the chance to kill me."

In fact, Yun Wanwan had tried to harm her several times during these three years, but failed every time.

Although it was Mo Huaiche who protected her and saved her from danger every time, Liu Weiyue would be lying if she said she was not disappointed that Mo Huaiche knew that Yun Wanwan had attacked her but never pursued the matter.

The grace of saving Yun Wanwan's life in childhood can ensure Yun Wanwan's safety for the rest of her life.

I really don't know whether to say that Mo Huaiche is grateful or that he is playing blind.

Now that Mo Huaiche is not around, Liu Weiyue naturally has to do her best to protect herself.

She hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to die.
