Chapter 137: Disaster Relief

Spring has gone to autumn, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the war in northern Xinjiang has never subsided, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense. It has been two months since www.biquge.info received a letter from Yuwennan, and Ningxia was a little anxious, but the battle report was still delivered on time, reporting Yuwennan's victories one after another.

Every time he hears the news of Yuwennan's victory, Ningxia has a little hope in his heart, looking forward to the next time he hears the news of Yuwennan's return from victory. However, somehow, these barbarians are so persistent this year, and they are bound to carry out the war to the end, and they have been biting it. War after war has been fought, and there are many losses and few wins, but there is no way to retreat.

The people's hearts fluctuate in the court, even if there is a victory, but the barbarians are so persistent, it is also a great loss to the dynasty. Many soldiers were buried in the battlefield, and the support of the imperial court was also somewhat weak.

In addition, heavy snow has fallen, and the richest Jiangnan has become a snow disaster, and the displaced people are fleeing in all directions, which is actually the most turbulent year since the founding of the country. Since the last poisoning incident, Emperor Ping's physical condition has become worse and worse, and he has recently recruited Ningxia into the palace for diagnosis and treatment. But in the face of such a situation, Ningxia is helpless, and the deficit and decay of the body are unstoppable by manpower.

The displacement of the people and the frequent riots caused by the snow disaster also made Emperor Ping worried. When he was being treated in Ningxia, he sighed from time to time, and no one in the court asked for orders to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and even looked like he couldn't avoid it.

We all know that disaster relief is a chore, if you don't do it well, Emperor Ping will be angry, and you will be afraid of worrying about your life, and if you do it well, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people, and you will also have to worry about your life at that time, and you will be in a dilemma, so you will simply pretend to be deaf and dumb. Above the entire court, there was silence, and there was no mention of disaster relief.

In this regard, Emperor Ping was both angry and a little helpless, he was too old, and his control over the court was not as strong as before, and he did not have the decisiveness of his youth.

In the end, Li Mingsheng came forward and invited himself to go to the disaster relief, and the court was in an uproar, but no one dissuaded him, it was better for the prince to go to the disaster relief than to go by himself, and those people did not dare to be too arrogant because of the saint. In the midst of a tacit acquiescence, Lee Mingsheng's disaster relief errand was thus decided.

Hearing the news, the virtuous concubine of the harem broke the teacup by mistake, Ningxia was at the virtuous concubine, and she was stunned when she heard the news, but she quickly came back to her senses, and above the court, at this time, probably only Li Mingsheng dared to take this job. When she saw that Concubine Xian's face was pale, she had to comfort her with a few words, "King Ming is kind-hearted, and he refuses to see the people suffering, he went to disaster relief, and he did it successfully, and the people are naturally the people's desire and reputation."

Concubine Xian sighed, waved her hand at the palace maid who was cleaning up the mess, and motioned her to go down, before she spoke, "It's okay if it really succeeds, what I'm worried about is that the Jiangnan officialdom is entrenched, and Sheng'er will inevitably touch their interests when he goes, which is very dangerous."

"King Ming is a good man, and he is for the benefit of the people, and God will not let him be in danger" Ningxia had to comfort her like this, "And the saint has agreed, King Ming must go"

Since Emperor Ping agreed, then the matter naturally could not be changed, and even if Concubine Xian was worried, she was helpless, and she couldn't even show her displeasure. Ningxia couldn't help but sigh, as the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but there are still so many people who have sharpened their heads and drilled into the palace, and they want to be on the king's side, how strong their psychological quality must be.

King Li Mingsheng wanted to go to disaster relief, but Princess Liu Shule couldn't sit still, and immediately handed over a sign to ask to see Concubine Xian. In recent days, because of disaster relief, Emperor Ping's health has not been very good, and Ningxia has not gone out of the palace, and he chats with Concubine Xian in his spare time. Hearing that Liu Shule was coming, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

Concubine Xian pressed her hand, "It's all a family, what's there to avoid, I just want you to help her take a look, she's about to give birth, Sheng'er is leaving Beijing again, you help her take a look, don't go wrong"

Hearing this, Ningxia had no choice but to sit back, at this time she didn't want to see Liu Shule at all, she guessed, Liu Shule didn't want to see herself either. In the past year, she has no contact with Liufu, but she has nothing to do, except for the etiquette of the New Year's holidays, she doesn't ask about the rest.

Liu Shule staggered in with a big belly, and just about to salute, he was stopped by Concubine Xian, with such a big belly, let alone saluting, it was a little difficult to sit down.

Concubine Xian asked her to move a soft stool suitable for pregnant women to sit on, Liu Shule thanked her, and slowly sat up, only then did she see Ningxia sitting next to Concubine Xian. After being stunned, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect my cousin-in-law to be there, I don't know when my cousin-in-law entered the palace?" ”

Ningxia replied succinctly, "I've been staying for a few days."

Liu Shule didn't understand, turned to Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, her mother's family was strong, and she was pregnant, and the doctor said that it was a boy, so she was still very friendly to Liu Shule, and explained to her, "She was recruited into the palace by the saint, and the saint's body has not been very good in recent days, so let her come to recuperate"

Liu Shule nodded, but he was thinking in his heart about whether Li Mingsheng had entered the palace if he had not returned to his home recently. Until Concubine Xian asked, "What did you do when you entered the palace today?" ”

Only then did she react that she had something important to do, "I heard that the prince is going to Jiangnan for disaster relief, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Concubine Xian sighed, "The will of the saint has come down, and Sheng'er has invited herself to go again, this trip is undoubtedly a must."

Liu Shule was a little anxious, "Mother, disaster relief, this kind of thing is mostly thankless, how can the prince go......"

Hearing what she said, Concubine Xian's face became serious, "How can Sheng'er go?" Although he is a prince, he can't watch the people fall into dire straits, he goes to disaster relief, this palace is very pleased, since you are his wife, you can't drag him back at this time"

Seeing that Concubine Xian did not object, Liu Shule lowered her head, "The daughter-in-law is just worried about the prince, and the daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so she naturally hopes that the prince can be by her side, so she lost her words."

Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief, "The woman has a difficult birth, I also know, don't worry, I will ask the saint to let Sheng'er set off after you give birth."

"Thank you, mother," Liu Shule bowed hard.

Concubine Xian stroked her head, "Since you are already inconvenient, don't move around anymore, go back to the house and rest early, Ningxia, you can help the palace send a cousin"

"Yes" Ningxia got up reluctantly, she really didn't want to be with Liu Shule, her mind was too hard to guess, and she was always worried that she would be stabbed.

Liu Shule doesn't really want to be with Ningxia, she always thinks of Ningxia's true identity, and it's always a little awkward to be with her. Especially Li Mingsheng seems to know Ningxia's true identity, and she doesn't want the two to meet.
