After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Fang Ting, purple gold dagger.

A master who had retired from the martial arts world for a long time unexpectedly appeared here and became Yan Shouzhuo's master.

The life that I luckily survived seemed to have other meanings besides revenge.

And all this was thanks to his wife who never treated him well.

Yan Changqing was secretly grateful.

After drinking the entire bowl of bitter Chinese medicine without changing his expression, Yan Changqing asked Hu Yanjin: "In your opinion, what kind of woman is Madam?"

This question stumped Hu Yanjin.

He scratched his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Before I came to Beijing, I thought Your Highness was a stepmother who abused her children..."

What Hu Yanjin said was exactly what Yan Changqing and the people around him thought.

They all knew that sending the children back to the Princess's Mansion without being able to explain their true origins would be a shameful thing for her.

But there was no other way except for Yan Changqing to explain it to her face to face.

The matter has been delayed for too long. If someone else tells her, it is hard to say whether the princess will believe it or not. If she thinks it is just a perfunctory statement, it will only make the misunderstanding more difficult to resolve.

But knowing is one thing, and actually hearing about a few children being abused is another.

This is why, after entering the princess's mansion, Hu Yan went straight to Zhufeng Courtyard instead of paying a visit to Qin Yaoguang first.

"But, after meeting Your Highness, I felt that Your Highness..."

Hu Yanjin thought for a long time and finally came up with a word that he thought could describe Qin Yaoguang.

"Your Highness is different from other women in the capital. She is a remarkable woman! The things that happened in the past must have happened too far away, and the letters were not clear, which led to our misunderstanding."

Yan Changqing nodded slightly and thought: The title of extraordinary woman is indeed very suitable for her.

As far as he could see, the lady had her own inner thoughts.

His injuries have not healed yet, so he is still focusing on resting.

Even if it is just an ordinary house, the conditions are much better than in the cave.

Donglin and others left one after another and acted according to the plan separately, leaving only a few people to support Yan Changqing outside the imperial manor just in case.

At night, a howling north wind started outside the house and the temperature dropped sharply.

Hu Yanjin put a handful of firewood into the kang, looked at the blazing fire, and thought to himself: Fortunately, I persuaded the general to come down today. If he really stayed in that cave, it would be too miserable!

The room was filled with the smell of medicine.

Yan Changqing had just changed the medicine on all the wounds on his body and wrapped them with linen again.

When he looked up, he saw Hu Yanjin: "You don't have to stay here with me all day, I can do it."

Hu Yanjin chuckled and said, "The general came here because he was injured. I will take good care of him. No one will get suspicious."

As he said this, he felt that his excuse was really brilliant!

No need to make up for it.

In the second half of the night, it really started snowing heavily.

The north wind is howling and the cold wind is like a knife.

It seemed as if God was angry. He squeezed the thick clouds in the sky into a ball and threw them to the earth unreasonably.

In addition to snow, there was also hail.

Qin Yaoguang woke up to the sound of "ping ping pong pong". Just as she was half asleep, Hanlu came in with a candle in her hand, looking worried: "Your Highness, it's hailing outside."

hail?

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, but hail means disaster.

In ancient times, due to reasons of construction technology, common people would suffer from disasters as soon as hail struck.

And the crops in the fields,

Qin Yaoguang lost her sleepiness instantly: "Let Qingbai take people outside to check the situation, and let her pay attention to safety. If anyone wakes up, let them stay indoors and don't walk around. Also, let the kitchen boil a big pot of ginger soup to drive away the cold for those who come back."

The villa is mainly built with ebony, which is strong enough.

"Yes."

Hanlu responded: "Your Highness, it's only two quarters past three in the morning, would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Qin Yaoguang shook his head: "No, I'll get up right away. Come back to me as soon as you find out what's going on outside."

After the cold dew retreated, she put on her outer robe, walked to the warm tea room outside, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

There is no mention of this hailstorm in the original book.

Guyu's foot injury had not healed yet, so Qin Yaoguang asked her to rest and did not serve her closely.

After Hanlu took the order and left, he called Xuelian, who was guarding the tea room, to come in and wait for Qin Yaoguang's orders.

Not long after, Chun Ning came hurriedly with his men.

"Why are you here?"

Qin Yaoguang hurriedly went to meet her and asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"

"Don't!"

Chun Ning stopped Qin Yaoguang with a move: "I am full of cold air here, let me pass it to you and let me stand for a while."

She stamped her feet, untied her cloak and handed it to the servant who followed her: "Sister, please don't go out! The hail is falling so hard, the crackling sound is frightening me."

"I knew you would come."

Qin Yaoguang glared at her, and seeing that she had come over without even putting on her inner dress, she hurriedly asked Xuelian to get one of her own outer robes and help Chunning put it on.

She is taller and fuller than Chunning, so the dress doesn't fit her well, but she can wear it.

At the same time, she put on her clothes neatly. Xuelian made a simple bun for her and combed her hair.

After sitting by the stove for a while, Chun Ning finally warmed up. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I was woken up by the hail. I was a little scared. I just wanted to come to my sister as soon as possible."

She can only feel safe when she is with her royal sister.

Xuelian brewed two more cups of tea and presented the cakes prepared at night: "Master, Your Highness, it's still early before dawn, at least have some first."

I definitely won’t be able to sleep this day as I don’t know the extent of the disaster outside.

It’s hard to say, we have to start working as soon as the sun rises.

The two of them ate some cakes, and Chunning yawned with his hand covering his mouth.

Qin Yaoguang asked Xuelian to bring a pair of silk quilts and let her lie on the soft couch in the outer room: "Sleep for a while, I'll call you if there's anything."

Chun Ning groaned "hmm" in a daze and fell asleep hugging the pillow.

After a while, Qingbai turned around.

Fang Ting also came with her.

He was a man from outside and it was not convenient for him to enter the house, so he waited in the corridor.

"Master, I inspected the courtyard and asked the patrolling guards. Several houses were smashed through. Fortunately, no one was living there and no one was injured."

"The young masters and young ladies are all awake. I have conveyed His Highness's message to them to stay in the house and not go out."

She looked worried: "However, the crops and vegetable fields in the imperial farm cannot be saved, and some of the huts may also be difficult to save."

Fortunately it was night.

If it is daytime and people are working outside, there is a high chance that they will be injured.

Qin Yaoguang was silent.

Just by listening to the constant "ping pong" sound coming from overhead, I knew that the hailstorm was not over yet.

I glanced at the clepsydra and saw that it had been raining for more than twenty minutes.

It has been too long, and I don’t know how many people have been affected by this hailstorm and how large the scope is.

Visibility is poor at night, so we have to wait until daybreak to assess the extent of the disaster and provide rescue services.

Qin Yaoguang pondered for a moment and was about to give an order when he heard Fang Ting reporting loudly outside: "Your Highness! This hailstorm is unusual. Please allow me to report in detail."
