Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 245: Victims of the Disaster at the City Gate
Uncle Fu didn't do anything else and went straight to the kitchen.
I have to ask the kitchen to prepare some food that the little girl likes.
Xie Mochen was reading in the study. When he saw Bai Qianqian come in, a smile flashed in his deep eyes and he put down the book in his hand.
"Qianqian, how come you have time to come here today?" Xie Mochen stood up and walked towards Bai Qianqian.
Bai Qianqian winked playfully, took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Xie Mochen, "My lord, this jade pendant is for you."
Xie Mochen took the jade pendant, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he played with the jade pendant in his hand.
Seeing his expression, Bai Qianqian knew that she had to tell him the purpose of the jade pendant.
Otherwise, this guy might not know.
Bai Qianqian smiled and was held in Xie Mochen's arms.
This was the first time the little girl gave him something.
It is very precious, he has to keep it well.
Bai Qianqian smiled, reached out and pulled down Xie Mochen's head, and whispered something in his ear.
After Xie Mochen finished listening, his expression became serious, "Qianqian, you should keep this treasure for yourself."
Bai Qianqian smiled and waved her hand, "Your Highness, I still have one in my hand, and I gave one of this jade pendant to my elder sister."
Xie Mochen stared at the little girl with his deep eyes for a long time before looking away.
The little girl was quite nice to Bai Jinyan.
If there is just one treasure like this, people will fight for it.
But the little girl attacked with two at once.
He reached out and bit his finger and dripped the liquid onto the jade pendant.
The next moment, the jade pendant space opened.
Xie Mochen was stunned for a moment, then held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.
The jade pendant space sounds like one thing.
Once you own it, it’s another matter.
The shock in his heart was immense.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Bai Qianqian was filled with excitement, seriousness, and emotions that he himself could not explain.
Bai Qianqian looked at the man in front of her with a smile. After the emotions in his eyes faded, she pulled the man to sit down.
"I will take you home after lunch." Xie Mochen said considerately.
Bai Qianqian shook her head. "I want to go to the city gate to take a look. With such heavy snow, it's hard for the capital, and it's even harder for other places. I don't hear about the victims, so I feel uneasy."
Logically speaking, this heavy snow has been falling for a month.
If there is really no way to survive, no one will come to the capital.
But now, they haven't received any news at all.
Xie Mochen couldn't help but sigh, "Guanzhou is fine. I notified them to stock up on food, medicine, and firewood in advance, so they can still make it through."
Hearing this, Bai Qianqian's face turned pale.
He asked anxiously, "What about other places?"
There was reluctance in Xie Mochen's eyes, but seeing the little girl's anxious face, he still told her all the news that had come from various places.
"Except for the grain in the fiefdom, the price of other places has increased, especially coal and firewood."
"Most people who have no way to make a living sell their daughters so that they can feed their family for a few days."
"Not to mention theft and robbery."
"..."
As she listened, Bai Qianqian's face became angry.
"What is this court doing! The people are living in such a state, but they don't do anything!" Bai Qianqian said angrily.
Xie Mochen shook his head helplessly. "The court is also in trouble. This heavy snow came suddenly, and officials from all over the country were unable to cope with it. In addition, some unscrupulous merchants hoarded goods and made a profit, which is why the situation is so bad."
Bai Qianqian bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, we can't just sit there and watch."
Xie Mochen looked at her deeply and said, "This is what I meant. I have already ordered some food and supplies to be transported from the fiefdom. The roads are not easy to travel on and the quantity is limited. It is difficult to solve the urgent problem."
Bai Qianqian frowned and thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, why don't we open a porridge stall at the city gate to help some of the victims first."
Xie Mochen nodded slightly, "I have the same idea, but it requires a lot of manpower and resources."
"In terms of manpower, we can recruit some volunteers. As for material resources, I can think of a way." Bai Qianqian's eyes were firm.
"What can you do?" Xie Mochen asked doubtfully.
Bai Qianqian smiled and said, "My father and uncle have already stockpiled food."
Moreover, as far as he knew, there were quite a lot of them hoarded.
Xie Mochen pondered for a moment and nodded.
After lunch, the two got on the palace's carriage and headed towards the city gate.
The carriage moved slowly on the snow, leaving deep ruts on the white snow.
The soldiers guarding the city gate recognized the carriage of Prince Chen's Palace.
They all ran to the carriage respectfully.
Mo Er and Mo Si got off the carriage and stood aside.
Then Qingyan and Qingqing got off the carriage.
Xie Mochen reached out and lifted the curtain of the car. He just took a glance, and the soldiers guarding the city gate didn't dare to look at him.
Hopping off the carriage, he held out his hand.
Bai Qianqian originally wanted to jump off the carriage by herself.
Seeing the man extending his hand, he smiled and handed it over.
With the help of the man's hand, Bai Qianqian landed safely on the ground.
The snow was piled up to the knees on both sides of the road.
"Greetings to His Majesty, Fourth Miss Bai."
The officers and soldiers spoke almost at the same time.
Bai Qianqian nodded to everyone and was pulled to the city gate by Xie Mochen.
It was daytime, but the city gates were closed.
Bai Qianqian and King Chen looked at each other and both knew that something was wrong.
It was also because I was busy with Ning's affairs and disaster relief in the city during this period that I neglected the city gate.
Xie Mochen's face suddenly darkened.
His deep eyes looked at the officers and soldiers who followed him.
The officers and soldiers dared not even breathe a word.
"Who gave you the right to close the city gates in broad daylight?"
Faced with the wrath of King Chen, the officers and soldiers' faces turned red.
Finally someone stood up.
"In reply to the prince, ten days ago, some disaster victims wanted to enter the city."
"After we stopped them, we went to report it."
"The higher-ups said not to let the disaster victims into the city."
Xie Mochen's face looked extremely ugly.
The victims can be stopped, but the assassins can’t be stopped?
A bunch of useless things.
Bai Qianqian's face was also filled with anger. "Are you trying to push the people into a dead end?"
Xie Mochen suppressed his anger and said, "Open the door!"
The officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey and quickly opened the city gate.
As soon as the door opened, we saw a group of ragged victims huddled at the city gate, shivering with cold.
Bai Qianqian's eyes instantly turned red. "Quick, bring them in and prepare some hot porridge and cotton clothes."
Xie Mochen ordered Mo Er and Mo Si to help, while he stood there thinking.
After a while, he said to the officers and soldiers around him: "From today on, you are not allowed to stop the disaster victims from entering the city. If this happens again, I will not let them off easily!"
The officers and soldiers responded obediently.
The victims were brought into the city, drank hot porridge, put on cotton clothes, and knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Mochen and Bai Qianqian.
Bai Qianqian looked at these poor people and became more determined to help them.
Xie Mochen sent people to investigate who issued the order not to allow the victims to enter the city.
However, before the investigation could come to a conclusion, new troubles arose.
