In the evening, Yan Xiling finally came back from the sixth department. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, I was going to sleep in the study tonight, but when I entered the Yuling Courtyard, I couldn't help but go in.

Meng Zhining slept with the lamp lit in the room, curled up in the bed, and wore a thin pajamas.

It may be a little colder, although the temperature is high during the day but a little lower at night, plus this jade bed is cold or not cold, it is strange.

He took a thin quilt over her body and lay down next to her.

Before dawn the next day, Meng Zhining rubbed her eyes.

Yesterday she went to bed early, so she got up a little early, although she is a little snooze now, but she has the habit of getting up early.

How did she feel as if someone had put her to sleep last night, but when she woke up, there was no one around.

Now the sky is only slightly bright, and it is only about five watches, and people are gone like this?

She blinked, got up and ate as usual.

Yan Xiling went to the sixth.

Some of the officials of the Sixth Department also contracted the plague and rested at home, and now there are not many people in the Sixth Department.

Seeing Yan Xiling, the people on the side all bowed their heads to say hello, and Yan Xiling nodded slightly.

"Lord Wang, something has happened in the past few days." Feng Zhengzheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said, "In the past few days, some bandits have taken advantage of the chaos in the capital to come in and forcibly seize food. ”

Bandits robbing food?

There are some mountains on the side of the capital, and there are a small number of bandits on the mountains, but the number of these bandits is not particularly large, basically they only collect tolls, and they dare not rob, even if it is a plague, those bandits will not feel better than the people in the city, how can they come in and take things?

Moreover, the plague inside this city is even more serious than the outside, and if you are not careful, you will be infected with the plague.

It's a life-threatening robbery.

Yan Xiling asked, "What clues does Lord Feng have?" ”

Feng Zheng laid out a map, on which were drawn small circles, and more than a dozen small circles were arranged irregularly on the map.

"These are the materials that Wechen has collected, and these marked places are where the thieves have been."

These small circles are distributed irregularly, and no matter how you look at it, these bandits are arbitrarily robbed.

But the problem is that if this group of bandits did not have a goal to seize at will, then they all avoided the officials' homes, and the officials' homes were not robbed in any case, and several times it happened next to the houses of several servants in the six departments, and several of them had quite rich families, but these people did not go.

"What's your progress?"

Feng Zheng shook his head: "There is no progress, after these people come, they will rob one or two or two every time and leave, the speed is fast, and no government has caught them." ”

Yan Xiling didn't speak, stayed in the palace for a while, and then went to see Fuji Qingxun and left the palace.

I've been inside the palace for too long and don't know what's going on outside, and when I walk down the street, it's no longer bustling on both sides, with only a few vendors buying some fruits and vegetables, and most of the shops are closed.

It's really depressed.

More and more people are dying of starvation and disease, and he has ordered the treasury to be opened to distribute food, but it can only go in and out, and the treasury will not last long.

The priority is to address the plague.

Bin Yu accompanied him and said, "It's too lonely. ”

Yan Xiling nodded.

There was a chaotic sound of running, and a large crowd of people hurried past them.

Bianyu grabbed a person on the side and said, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

The man looked at him for a while, and when he saw that the clothes he was wearing were very ordinary, he thought he was an ordinary person, so he told him: "You don't need to ask, haven't you heard, the prince has built porridge sheds in many places in the capital, and if there are poor people, they can go and get porridge, and everyone is preparing to go and see it." ”

Bianyu came back and conveyed it again and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to go and see?" ”

Yan Xiling nodded: "It's still early, why don't you go and see what the imperial brother is doing." ”

Yan Qian has always been ungenerous, how could he take his money out to help the disaster? Besides, rice is not cheap now, and the price of one stone is close to one tael of silver!

After walking forward for a while, I saw that the porridge shed in front was very lively, a large group of people gathered there, and a large pot of porridge was burned on the side, and the faint rice fragrance could be smelled all the way.

This thing is still true, Yan Xiling asked people to check, the prince has set up a total of ten porridge sheds in the capital, and each place provides porridge for free.

In this way, it costs nearly 1,000 stone of rice every day without a place every day, and the prince is really rich.

Inside the palace, it is actually not much different from the outside, everyone dares not go out of their own courtyard, and Xia Rong was also sent to another courtyard, basically knowing this matter, and they are all embarrassed.

In addition, the prince will not come at all, and these people have settled down a lot.

So everyone also knows the identity of the person in the current Yuling Courtyard, and it is clear that the former princess, doesn't it mean that people can't find it for a long time? So now she appears in the prince's courtyard again, and she is pregnant.

Yan Xiling didn't listen to the bad things about Meng Zhining, but especially the problem of the child in her belly, Yan Xiling just smiled coldly.

How could he not understand who this child belonged to? This litter of women really thinks he's a fool.

I came back early today, Meng Zhining was sitting on the bed reading a book, and a small section of snow-like wrists was exposed under her sleeves, she had been in the courtyard for many months, and she had become whiter when she was fairer, and her face was almost white without a trace of impurities. She stared at the book quite seriously, and she didn't notice anyone standing at the door.

The sound made when she walked over made her pay attention to Yan Xiling who came over, she looked at him and said, "Lord Wang, why did you come back so early today." ”

Yan Xiling pinched her somewhat round face and said, "I'll come back early if I'm okay today." ”

She covered her face, very cute: "Painful ......"

He put down his hand, grabbed her somewhat thick waist and said, "It's good for you to stay in the room obediently and wait for birth these days, I have already found a stable woman in the palace, and the imperial doctor is also in the courtyard at any time." ”

She dragged her cheeks and said, "Okay, it's boring to stay in the yard, I want the maid to help me go for a walk, going out for a walk is good for the fetus." ”

He didn't want to tell her about it, so he paused before replying, "If you want to go out...... Let's go out in a few days, don't go out these days, what are you seeing? ”

He looked at the book in her hand as if he had seen it somewhere.

Meng Zhining blushed slightly, what book was she holding in her hand? She had only seen the book on his shelf, so she was a little curious and took it to read, and then it was out of control.

She put the book behind her back and said, "The concubine is just reading some books." ”

Yan Xiling narrowed her eyes and said, "Then show me, I'm very interested in the conversation book these days." ”

...... "It's none of her business that he's interested in anything, but why should he be interested in her books?" It's just a simple book.

Naturally, she wouldn't show it to him, so she covered her notebook and said, "The concubine knows that the prince has a lot of things to do, so you should finish things first." ”
