Narada world

Liu Qianxun had no dreams all night and slept peacefully until dawn. When she woke up, Qin Junlan was no longer by her side.The remaining warmth of the embrace was still there, and a warm feeling was born in my heart.She fell asleep like this again, why was she able to sleep so soundly next to Qin Junlan every time?

She is a killer who needs to be highly vigilant, and also needs to be careful in every aspect. How could she let go of her guard against Qin Junlan many times?But who would have thought that this empress would have such a gentle side, so gentle that it was irresistible and coveted.

Just thinking about it, Qin Junlan opened the door and entered, holding a rich breakfast in his hand, smiling, like the morning sun, warm and blooming.

"Xun'er, you are awake, let's eat."

She actually prepares breakfast herself, this is the work that servants should do to serve others, how can she do it herself?She is the emperor.

"You, you woke up so early?" Liu Qianxun was ashamed, she didn't even know when Qin Junlan got up or went out.

"It's not too early, but it's still a little earlier than Xun'er."

"Yan'er, I can do these things by myself, how can you do these things of serving others." Liu Qianxun always felt guilty in his heart, maybe guilty, maybe reluctance, but there was always an uncontrollable joy in his heart .

How many people can make her do this, but she is gentle on the one hand, but cautious on the other, when will she really approach her?

"It's only five o'clock, they haven't got up yet, I have nothing to do, so I went downstairs to choose some exquisite snacks, I wonder if Mr. Liu is satisfied?" In fact, when Qin Junlan and Liu Qianxun were together, they never Regardless of their identities, during these days on the southern tour, she hoped that they could get along like ordinary people.

This was also her first time serving others, she didn't sleep all night, and she watched Liu Qianxun for as long as she slept.The disaster in Yuzhou was so urgent that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She only looked at her in the boundless night, but she could still feel a trace of peace in her heart.

"My lord is very satisfied, thank you lord Yan~" Liu Qianxun gave her a helpless look, but his expression darkened.She suddenly thought of her mother, the days when she was forced to a corner by her father's wife, and how her mother had worn her body down just to take care of her.

Except for her mother, she didn't care about anyone so much in this world.It was only when she met Ling Yu that her life changed, and since then Ling Yu has lived in her heart.

"What's the matter? I saw you laughing just now, why do you feel melancholy now? Is it something I didn't do well?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered my mother. Except for her, no one has ever cared about me so much."

Ling Yu always treats her as if away from her, except that her mother has taken care of her and loved her since she was a baby, she has never felt real care, nor has she really opened her heart.She tried to open her heart and invite Ling Yu, but was rejected.

Liu Qianxun smiled wryly, but in the end she was the queen of the enemy country, always softening her heart.

"Where is your mother now? Why didn't you take care of Jidu?" Qin Junlan asked along the topic, wanting to explore more, but Liu Qianxun changed the subject, "Mother is in my hometown, I will go back to see it some day She, Yan'er can have breakfast?"

"I'm waiting to enjoy it with you." Qin Junlan smiled slightly, and didn't ask any further questions. She believed that when it was time to understand, everything would naturally come to fruition.

Maybe one day, they will truly meet each other honestly.

After the heavy rain, the sky gradually cleared up, and a bridge was set up by a rainbow in the distance, which was beautiful.

The few people hurried on, left Qixia Town, and headed south all the way, rushing on their way.Crossing Qianzhou is Yu County, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The whole city is built in a valley, but the scenery is beautiful, like a fairyland.

It's just that Qin Junlan didn't care to take a look at the scenery at the moment. Li Yue sent the shadow guard to find out that the disaster relief official's bank had entered Yuzhou. As for why it hadn't reached the victims, the reason could be explored.

Qin Junlan's heart was in a state of confusion, really someone is so bold as to dare to covet this money?After working hard for three days, they finally came to Zhouji.This is the only city in Yuzhou that has not been occupied. Because Zhouji is close to Yu County, the water source is connected to it and has not been affected.

Before arriving at Zhouji, I met begging people on the road.

"Okay, my son, the child hasn't eaten for three days." A mother-in-law supported her granddaughter and looked at them eagerly.

"Liyue, get something to eat." Qin Junlan dismounted immediately and brought the steamed buns to her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was reluctant to eat, so she gave it to her granddaughter first.

The little girl had beautiful features, but her face was yellow and thin from hunger. When she saw the steamed buns opening her mouth, she wanted to eat, but hesitated.She broke the steamed bun in half, "Grandma, you can eat it too."

"There's more, there's more to this, good boy, eat by yourself." Qin Junlan hurriedly handed the steamed buns to her mother-in-law again.

The grandparents and grandchildren, both in hunched clothes, began to gobble it up.Qin Junlan felt sore, and stroked the girl's head lightly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

I really don't know how many people like this are suffering from hunger.

"Drink some water." Li Yue handed over the water, and Qin Junlan opened the lid of the kettle to feed the girl.

At this time, other hungry beggars also gathered around, and they looked at several people with begging eyes.

"Take out the dry food and water." Qin Junlan looked solemn, and several people rushed to greet other hungry people.

"Didn't the government's disaster relief food come down? Why are you still begging?" Li Yue wanted to find out while they were filling their stomachs.

"That's what the governor of the state said, but what we wait for every day is that the food has not arrived. A batch of food came two days ago, but it is gone before we eat it."

"What about the silver, His Majesty personally promulgated the imperial decree, the disaster relief officials' silver has arrived in Yuzhou, how can you be hungry?" Li Yue continued to ask.

"I have never heard of an official bank. The governor of the state said that the emperor is thinking of countermeasures, but everyone can't wait for food. They can't starve to death, so they have to go north to beg." The starving people's eyes were full of despair.

"Is the emperor not caring about us anymore?" A woman in the crowd suddenly sobbed.

"Nonsense! Your majesty is wise and wise, and governs the country with benevolence, how can he ignore the people." While speaking, Li Yue glanced at Qin Junlan in horror, and found that her eyes were slightly cold, and she must be furious.

"But the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. It is impossible for His Majesty to see how miserable we are now. I don't know who has stolen this official bank. Maybe Your Majesty is still kept in the dark?" There was despair in their eyes, as if Abandoned, struggling with life and death every day, unable to see life.

The emperor they admired could not see what happened to them, and the powerful country they were proud of was nothing more than that.

Qin Junlan got up suddenly, left the crowd, and walked aside.Her face was solemn, and she couldn't restrain herself from the discomfort in her heart.She clenched her fists tightly, as if this could resolve the self-blame and anger in her heart, she didn't even realize that her nails had dug into her flesh, and she was bruised.

"Yan'er, don't do this." Liu Qianxun put his hand on hers and shook it lightly, only then did Qin Junlan relax a little.She took the opportunity to hold her hand and block her nails, for fear that she would accidentally hurt herself again.

"Leave the steamed buns and silver, and we'll go to Zhouji." Qin Junlan's eyes were resolute, her voice was low, and the air was heavy with her muffled emotions. She didn't have time to make herself sad, but she was more determined to do what she wanted thing.

Why did Qin Junlan end up here?Liu Qianxun couldn't understand.She glanced lightly, she was just some ordinary people, and they would die as soon as they died. It would neither shake the country of Ji, nor shake the foundation of the country, let alone affect her throne.Why do you care so much?And how has she ever shared any of her love and compassion for the people of her own country to the people of other countries?

Liu Qianxun will never understand that people like Ling Yu and Qin Junlan can devote themselves to their own country, but turn a deaf ear to the lives of people in other countries, and even kill them all.

Looking at Bai Ruoxi again, looking at the group of poor little beggars, those people who were sallow and emaciated from starvation, who were as skinny as a stick, actually started to cry.

She doesn't understand these great loves, and she doesn't have too much emotion about human life and death.Everyone is going to die, it's just that they die at different times and in different ways.These people suffered from drought and starved to death, that is their fate.

No matter who saw such a tragic scene, they would feel moved and moved by it, but Liu Qianxun's eyes were calm and calm, could he really be such a cold person?Qin Junlan's inadvertent look at her gave her a chill.

Now a large number of disaster victims began to go north to beg, and many gathered in boats to help the city, but the gates here were closed.Qin Junlan wanted to find out, Zhouji government office is really so bold, dare to treat the victims like this.

"Who is here? Where are you going back and forth? Recently, you are only allowed to go out, not to enter!" As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhouji City, he was stopped by the guards.

"How courageous!" Li Yue jumped off his horse, filled with righteous indignation, "Now that there are so many disaster victims, how dare you close the city gate."

"Stinky boy, get out of here if you're sensible...Ah~" The guard pointed at Li Yue before he finished speaking, his hands were pinched by Li Yue, screaming in pain.

"Where did the madman come from?" The other guards stepped forward with spears when they saw someone making a move.

"Looking for death." Ye Ming jumped up from the horse, swept away, kicked down two guards, and landed heroically.

"Ye Ming is so handsome when he fights." Bai Ruoxi was secretly happy, since last night, her affection for Ye Ming has deepened again.In fact, she is not that stupid, she is obviously a very warm person, she thought beautifully.

Suddenly the gate of the city was wide open, and a group of city defense soldiers inside ran out with weapons, and they were about to fight, but the leader smiled politely and bowed, "Please don't misunderstand, my lords, the recent drought and famine, Zhouji's food stock is insufficient and cannot bear it." Please forgive me for the influx of a large number of disaster victims.”

This man knows etiquette and propriety.

"So you just watched the people starve to death?" Qin Junlan got off his horse, stepped forward, and Li Yue automatically avoided it.

The leader saw that Qin Junlan had an extraordinary bearing. Although he looked like a handsome young man, he had a natural aristocratic temperament.

"Young master, you don't know. Zhouji is the only city in Yuzhou that has not been affected by the disaster, but it has also been affected. Today, the food can still ensure the food and clothing of the people in the city, and it is really not enough to help others. Zhouji has also been reduced to a disaster area, and I hope you will forgive me." The leader was also helpless, courteous and thoughtful, and his thinking was clear.

How could Qin Junlan not know what he said?If such a large number of disaster victims really poured into the city, the urgent need could be solved, but within a few days, Zhou Ji would also be in the same predicament.

"What's your name?"

"Defend Jiang Wei in the lower city." Jiang Wei was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Jiang Weichang, it's urgent. Saving lives is more important than anything else. If you want to open the city gate, are there any conditions?" Qin Junlan already had a coping strategy in mind, but she wanted to see if this man had a strategy, and also wanted to test whether he had compassion for the people. heart of.

"If you help the victims, the food in the city can only last for three days. After three days, if you add the people who have no food in the boat, it will only increase the number of people affected. No one in the boat will want to make his family suffer. But if there is a way to provide food within three days Going to the city, that would be great."

"The imperial court's food is no longer an urgent need, how to get food?" Qin Junlan made further investigations.

"Army rations. There is a garrison [-] miles away. The rations are usually enough for at least two months. If half of the rations are used to help the people, it will neither affect the soldiers' rations nor starve the people to death. It is enough to supply the army with rations, but my ability is limited, Lord Lin does not have such power, so closing the city gate is really a last resort." Jiang Wei really has a strategy, he has a clear mind, is organized, understands the importance, and is actually just a small defense chief.

Qin Junlan raised the corners of her lips slightly, finally someone would not be too mediocre, this method was exactly the same as her idea.

"Please tell Mr. Zhou Jilin that within three days I will distribute food, and please open the city gate to let the people in." Qin Junlan's demeanor is full of kingship, and Liu Qianxun saw Qin Junlan like this for the first time. He handled state affairs with great vigor and resoluteness. .

"Young Master, can you really transfer food? If you can, I can ask the governor of the state to open the city gate, but you must ensure that there is food to help."

"Naturally, our son will do what he says." Li Yue replied.

"However, I have no reason to convince Mr. Lin." What Jiang Wei was worried about was that this verbal promise could not be believed, and he could not risk the lives of the people in the city.

Li Yue took a step forward, took him aside, and took out the Ouchi gold medal, which is a badge only for high-ranking officials and dignitaries or imperial envoys. Jiang Wei was busy saluting, but was held back by Li Yue.She said softly, "My lord is ordered by His Majesty to check on the situation of the people. It is not easy to reveal his identity. Just tell Lord Lin to open the city gate, and the food will arrive."

"Yes, I will obey your orders. Young masters, please follow me into the city."

On the same day, a secret decree was issued from Zhouji, ordering the garrison to transport [-] tans of rations to Zhouji within three days.
