After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Chapter 137 Porridge without a Grain of Rice

Shen Rujun's pupils shrank, a look of surprise appeared on his face, he immediately bent down and spoke quickly.

"This is serious. Your Highness should get on the carriage as soon as possible and return to the palace to heal your wounds."

He had already received the news last night, and now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he knew that the intelligence was true and had some plans in mind.

County Magistrate Yang waved his hand quickly, and the carriage parked nearby quickly moved to their side.

The carriage was elegant and luxurious both inside and out. Even the hanging decorations were made of gems. It was more precious than anything the emperor used.

Su Jinhua's expression suddenly became slightly serious, his eyebrows drooped, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"You want us to ride in this carriage?"

There was a hint of inquiry in her voice, and she seemed to disagree, with a hint of gloom between her brows.

Hearing this, Shen Rujun's mouth twitched slightly, with a hint of smile on his face, and he spoke very loudly in front of the rest of the people.

"I hope the Crown Princess will not despise this thing. Apart from this carriage, the others in this city are just average, and we can't give them to you to use."

The other people's faces changed instantly, and there was a bit more disgust in their eyes when they looked at them, and they immediately lumped them into the same category.

The beggar standing outside the city gate sighed and shook his head slowly.

"Oh, I thought the officials sent by the court were here to help us, but I didn't expect they were a group of people!"

The others naturally couldn't hear clearly, but Gu Yanan was originally a martial artist, so he could hear clearly within a radius of ten miles, so he naturally took the beggar's words into account.

His face was serious and his heart was filled with sadness. In the end, he just shook his head.

"I can't afford this carriage after all. The people are still suffering now. Such an expensive carriage is enough for them to live for a while."

When they came, their clothes were extremely simple. Apart from an ordinary carriage, they did not have any decorations on their clothes and looked plain.

Su Jinhua sighed in his heart, shook his head slightly, and let out a long breath.

"Oh, I wonder how much effort the people in this city put into building this carriage. I guess they must have suffered a lot."

She was worried in her heart, and it showed on her face. Her eyebrows were slightly drooped, and she was extremely sad.

Originally, in order to prevent them from discovering any clues, County Magistrate Yang did not restrict the freedom of the people today. Instead, it became a good time for them to wait and see.

Although these people were silent, there was a glimmer in everyone's eyes, and some even slowly approached them, as if they wanted to know what was going on.

Shen Rujun suddenly felt like there was something stuck in his throat and was about to lift a rock to drop on his own feet.

He was not deliberately making things difficult for them, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face, and there seemed to be a bit of regret.

"Oh, you guys are really thoughtful. I have never thought about this. It's so hot in the sun. Should we get into the city as soon as possible?"

His attitude was respectful, and he didn't seem to be trying to make things difficult for them. There was a slight smile on his face.

Su Jinhua's dark eyes became deeper, and he did not hesitate. The corners of his mouth slowly rose and he nodded slightly.

"That's good. It's a good opportunity to see how the people in the city live now."

They walked into the city smoothly, and many people lined up with bowls in their hands.

Seeing this, Gu Yan'an's eyes showed a hint of doubt, his thin lips were pursed into a line, and there was a questioning tone in his voice.

"What are they doing?"

The people were all scrambling for the food. Their eyes lit up when they got it. They couldn't help but put it in their mouths, without even having time to leave.

County Magistrate Yang smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his voice, and he shook his head slightly.

"The harvest in the county is so poor that the people have a hard time surviving. We have no choice but to distribute some food every day to support their survival."

He has a good face and looks honest, but no one knows what he is like behind the scenes.

Su Jinhua simply pushed Gu Yanan and walked inside silently. He stopped when he reached the front.

There were several large basins on the table, with rice soup floating in them, but not a single grain of rice could be seen. It was not as clear as water, but it was a bit strange.

She walked forward with a spoon and stirred the rice underneath, but still no rice came up. Her expression suddenly became serious and she put down the spoon.

"Is that water?"

There was a hint of helplessness in the smile on the official's face. He slowly lowered his eyes, but his hands did not stop moving. He poured porridge for them one by one.

"You must be joking. We prepared porridge."

With so many buckets of water, I'm afraid there's not even a handful of rice in them. How dare you call it porridge?

A trace of solemnity appeared on Su Jinhua's face. He put his hands behind his back, then looked at County Magistrate Yang and spoke seriously.

"Could it be that the people are now in a state of having no harvest? Is the drought in the county so serious?"

Has it reached the point where you can’t even afford a grain of rice?

The official standing next to him suddenly had tears in his eyes, and felt sad in his heart, and his tone of voice seemed to be filled with helplessness.

"Oh, you don't know that nowadays everyone is tightening their belts to make ends meet. Doing good deeds every day is really hard to cover up."

He took out a handkerchief from somewhere and casually wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Even my own family has made a lot of substitutions, and what I drink every day is about the same."

He really is a liar and doesn't even think about preparing a lie. He eats all kinds of fat and fat food and lives a better life than these ordinary people!

Su Jinhua didn't say anything, but just pursed her red lips into a line. She and Gu Yanan who was sitting next to her looked at each other, and there was a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, County Magistrate Yang immediately stood up, with a hint of disgust in his eyes and a frown on his face, and angrily scolded the officials.

"Why are you saying that? Just do your own thing and stop telling tales in front of me!"

He seemed dissatisfied, and there was a tone of blame in his words.

Gu Yanan didn't seem to care. He just waved his hand, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and persuaded softly.

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with him. After all, it is because of this bad environment that the people are living in misery!"

Nowadays, even having food and clothing is a problem. It is really hard to imagine what kind of life these people lived before the coming of age.

When County Magistrate Yang heard this, he really shut up and nodded with a faint smile on his face.

"That's true. Fortunately, the emperor values ​​us and specially sent the prince to help us."
