C89 (2/2)

Sitting in the fake mountain, Lu Bing rubbed his hands together, and carefully wrote down what had just happened on a piece of paper.

After looking at the contents written by Lu Xiao, Lu Li gently held the paper in his hand and raised it up. The paper had already turned into ashes, falling onto the ground.

Su Qing touched the tip of his nose and smiled, ”Looks like I have to hurry up and marry her back.”

Qiao Liangjin, who was about to sleep, sneezed. She rubbed her nose and mumbled, ”Who's thinking of me?”

The next day, while Qiao Liangjin was still sleeping, she heard an urgent knock on the door. It was Qiao Ruo Ying's voice from outside. ”Little sister, wake up quickly. There's something wrong.”

Qiao Liangjin suddenly opened her eyes, put on her coat and opened the door. She asked: ”Is it because the commoners outside the city gate have already gathered?”

Qiao Ruo Ying opened his mouth and looked at his little sister in disbelief. If it wasn't for his own sister, he would have thought that she was a deity that had descended to the mortal realm. Why did he know what he was going to say before he even opened his mouth?

Qiao Ruoyin nodded and frowned. ”The emperor is already furious. He blamed Father for not settling the victims properly.”

Qiao Liangjin's lips twitched as she gave a cold laugh. She knew that this useless Emperor would definitely push the matter of the disaster to Qiao Zheng.

Qiao Liangjin gave way and let Qiao Ruo Ying through the door, only to find that he was still alone. She asked: ”Where is that servant girl?”

”A woman who doesn't know anything in my courtyard. I really don't know what I'm going to do with her.” When Qiao Ruo Ying mentioned that Caihe, she didn't seem to want to talk about it.

Qiao Liangjin washed her face and put on her battle robe. Then, she pulled Qiao Ruo Ying along as she walked out the door.

Just as he walked out of the door, he thought for a moment, turned around and put the treasure sword on the table back. She wasn't sure if the victims were the victims or the mob, so she wanted to go over and see.

After getting on the carriage, Qiao Liangjin asked, ”Have the wooden houses that I asked you to build a few days ago been completed?”

Qiao Ruoyin nodded and said, ”When you asked me, I had already done so and prepared five big pots.”

Qiao Liangjin did not speak. She lowered her head and twisted the corner of her cloak. He knew that her actions today would leave the Emperor with nothing to say. However, there would still be risks.

Outside the city gates, they saw Qiao Zheng standing on a high platform, shouting something to the victims below.

Suddenly, someone threw an egg over and smashed it heavily onto Qiao Zheng's forehead. The white egg slowly slid down Qiao Zheng's face.

Qiao Liangjin's gaze followed the direction of where the egg had come from and she whispered to Bai a few words before walking to the front of the stage. Placing her hands on her stomach, she smiled and beckoned to Qiao Zheng who was on the stage, ”Father, that is not a place for you to stay. Get down from there.” These people all have eggs that can smash people, how can they be called victims of disasters? ”

The moment those words came out, those people who were really victims turned around and looked at the person who had smashed their eggs in anger.

When that person saw that everyone was looking at him, he immediately shrunk his neck back.

Qiao Zheng raised his sleeve and lightly wiped the egg white off his face before saying with a bitter smile, ”This official understands everyone's feelings. ”Everyone, please calm down. We have started to gather food from all over the place. We will definitely be there within two days.”

Some of the victims began to ask, ”Where do we sleep on this snowy day? What do we eat these two days? ”

Just as Qiao Zheng was about to speak, Qiao Liangjin turned to point at the back and shouted, ”Everyone look, the prime minister has already prepared a wooden house and a pot. Everyone go quickly.”

The victims of the disaster looked in the direction Qiao Liangjin pointed. Sure enough, they saw Qiao Liangjin's maids and guards busy moving the food. Someone waved his hand and shouted, ”Everyone, help out!”

Almost everyone swarmed away. Qiao Liangjin turned around and looked at Qiao Zheng who was on the stage with a smile.

Qiao Zheng was startled as he looked at the smiling Qiao Liangjin below the stage. He immediately understood that this was all done by his daughter.

Carefully descending from the high platform, Qiao Liangjin helped Qiao Zheng up and grumbled: ”Father, you're already so old. Please don't climb so high in the future, alright?” Didn't our daughter already say that we have a daughter here, so you don't need to worry. ”

Qiao Zheng smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice, ”These rooms …” And food? Where did the money come from? Your Majesty, how do you expect me to reply? ”

Qiao Liangjin waved her hand without a care and smiled, ”It's just a small matter. I said I will clear the child's maintenance and donate it to the family. If the emperor is surprised and knows that Qing Qing has a pair of children, he might even have to bestow upon us, the Prime Minister's Mansion.”

Hearing this, Qiao Zheng seemed to make sense as he stroked his chin and laughed.

The emperor, who was far away in the imperial palace, shivered as if some cold wind had blown through his study.
