After the farce of this night, the court was a little cold for a while, Xiao Zixin finally went to court, but as soon as he sat on the golden chair, he yawned, if it wasn't for Queen Xi next to him who was dealing with things, where could he control the situation?

And on this day, Xiao Qiyu and Ji Chunli had arrived in Dongshengguo.

Zhongjing is the first good district, Zhong Lingyuxiu's place, as soon as the two of them arrived, they saw a group of people holding the guqin on the long street discussing music, and there were a few people with fairy wind and bones next to them, everyone was exchanging how to take Wushi San to prolong life, and continued to move forward, Chunli saw a group of traffickers.

Dongsheng Country is a big country, and it is not uncommon for powerful families to buy maids and guards, and those poor families only need to make a certificate from Lord Fu Yin to sell their children, and human beings have always been commodities.

In fact, these things are handed over to the dental industry to do, and the dental industry can't get a lot of intermediary fees, the reason why they need to go to the diversion is because they have the dental industry to avoid backsliding.

But today, as soon as Chunli and the others arrived in the territory of Dongshengguo, they saw a group of people blatantly selling children, each child was yellow and thin, and it looked like he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time.

Chunli was surprised to see this, and he couldn't imagine that Dongsheng Country was such a big country and had fallen to such a point.

In the distance, a few beggars came to beg with wooden sticks, and saw Chunli waiting in the carriage, the beggar did not dare to get very close, and surrounded the carriage singing the lotus falling, Chunli saw the suffering of the group of people, and took out the copper to give alms, "Living Bodhisattva, Living Bodhisattva, good man." ”

Ji Chunli asked, "What?" Where are you from, how did you come to my Zhongjing to beg, everyone has hands and feet, and if you don't go to work but have to eat here every day, is it also a long-term solution? ”

"Girl, you don't know anything." The beggar sighed, seeing that Chunli seemed to be a powerful person, he opened the conversation: "Girl, where do we have to eat, we also have a place where we have to eat!" We are locals, because the emperor took a fancy to our place and said that he wanted to build some Dingkun Pond, so everyone drove them away, and now they are homeless and living on the streets. ”

"Where are your fields?"

"The emperor wants to make a horse farm, and it has been confiscated, and now we are crying out for hunger and cold, and we can't say that we want to beg." The man sobbed as he spoke.

Xiao Qiyu and Chunli both thought that the imperial capital was not as good as before, but the situation in front of them still surprised the two, has everything been messed up like this? Chunli looked at the group of children in the distance, and suddenly thought that this group of displaced and homeless children must have been the treasure of their parents some time ago.

Everything has changed, it has changed!

When Ji Chunli saw this, she was in a bad mood, and Xiao Qiyu was the same. The two soon arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, and after inquiring, they learned that the Son of Heaven doesn't pay attention to anything anymore, as long as you can play the piano and paint in the palace, you can get a knighthood, as for the really talented people, they will be excluded and can't do anything.

The emperor closed his eyes and listened, and never dealt with government affairs, if it weren't for the assistance of Queen Xi, the emperor would have been finished, and when Ji Chunli knew this, he decided to enter the palace immediately.

Chunli knew that Queen Xi and herself were the same kind of person, and she was looking for someone to contact Queen Xi, Queen Xi had been waiting for Ji Chunli and Xiao Qiyu for a long time, and she was happy to come at this moment.

"Hurry up and call the queen mother and father, they are your relatives." Queen Xi not only arrived, but also brought Xiao Tian to touch.

In fact, the reason why she adopted Xiao Tiantao was because of her love for children, and secondly, she just wanted to open up Ji Chunli in the future.

Chunli couldn't imagine that she could see her child so easily now, before she and Tiantouch had a good relationship, but at this moment, Xiao Tiantouch refused to come forward no matter what, he just curled up behind Queen Xi like that, grabbed Queen Xi's sleeve with his little hand, and stared at the opposite person aggrieved and fearful.

Chunli also knew that Xiao Tiantong was actually suffering, which could be seen from his uncertain and distrustful eyes, Xiao Qiyu's mouth opened slightly, and after glancing at Xiao Tiantouch, he was also ready to approach.

"Heavenly touch, go over and say hello to my father and mother." Queen Xi half-squatted in front of Xiao Tiantouch, Tiantouch stepped forward timidly, but after saluting, she quickly hid behind Queen Xi, Ji Chunli never dreamed that the child she thought about day and night would now become like this.

"Heavenly Touch!" Queen Xi was also dissatisfied with Xiao Tiantouch's behavior today, but Xiao Tiantouch refused to obey no matter what, the two looked at each other, Chunli gave up, she knew that some things took time.

Xiao Qiyu was a little angry, "I am your father, and you are avoiding me so much now?" ”

"Father? There is no father in the sky. Xiao Tiantouch and Xiao Qiyu's tempers are similar. When Xiao Qiyu heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, seeing that Xiao Qiyu was about to go crazy, Chunli hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry." Chunli took food from the baggage and gave it to Tiantouch, and Tiantouch held it.

"This is the camel meat sold by my mother on the road, but it is delicious." Chunli was kind and seductive, thinking that Xiao Tiantouch would feast, he was just a child less than five years old, isn't it the age of a gluttonous cat?

But the result disappointed Ji Chunli, Xiao Tian was not interested at all when he was angry, and he took the "gift" just for Chunli and Xiao Qiyu thin noodles, as for "eating", it would not be.

Looking at Xiao Tian's touch, Chunli was really indescribable, Xiao Qiyu was so depressed that he didn't even look at it.

Chunli thought of something, "I'm from the desert, and there's something that you are guaranteed to like, and it's called Sea Flower." "There was a strange plant in the desert, and when it dried up, it turned into a net, which was black. But when you see the water, it suddenly turns bright red, and it will swell and plump, and it is called "sea flower".

No child, she thought, could resist such temptations. But who knew that Xiao Tiantu didn't even pay attention to it, and Chunli couldn't do useless work.

"I'm afraid of life, it'll be fine after a while, Sister Chunli." Queen Xi saluted.

"I know." Ji Chunli nodded.

The second day was agreed to enter the palace, Xiao Zixin slept until three poles on the day before getting up, and after getting up, he had to eat and drink, the palace people sent bird's nest in, Xiao Zixin ate it, and immediately vomited.

"Why don't you give me honey? I want honey, do you use rock sugar as honey? Xiao Zixin was furious, swept the bird's nest in front of him to the ground, everyone was silent, and after a long time, a timid voice slowly explained: "Your Majesty, there is no honey in the imperial dining room, and the people have not eaten well and dressed warmly this year, and even the grains and grains are gone, how can there be honey." ”

"What? Don't even have whole grains? Xiao Zixin didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "What about you, my Dongsheng country is so rich, you tell me that the people are miserable?" ”

"Your Majesty, that was before, and now it's different from the past." The old eunuch didn't know what to say, Xiao Zixin finally felt the fear, he stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch, "Tell me quickly, did I really destroy Dongshengguo?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minions don't know."

Just when it was difficult to separate, the eunuch at the door arrived, "Your Majesty, the emperor is back." Xiao Zixin drank too much last night, and he didn't wake up with a hangover at the moment, listening to this sentence was like listening to a tongue twister, he was slightly surprised, "I am here, what does it mean that the emperor is back?" ”

"Niangniang has also arrived." The old eunuch dodged for a while, and then Xiao Zixin saw Xiao Qiyu and Ji Chunli, the two of them stood at the door of the Qiankun Hall with high spirits, the rich sunlight in the morning seemed to fall on the two of them, making them look luxurious and holy, and Xiao Zixin sat on the black Sumeru seat, forming a contrast between darkness and light.

He hugged his head in fear, Xiao Qiyu and Chunli disappeared in distress that day, so Xiao Zixin took advantage of the situation, and now that they are back, where can Xiao Zixin not be afraid?

"Old Five, where are you going?" Seeing that Xiao Zixin was about to escape, Xiao Qiyu shouted, and Xiao Zixin saw that the dragon forbidden lieutenant at the door was holding a weapon to block his way.

"No!"

Xiao Zixin shouted hoarsely, retreated, Queen Xi had arrived, and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, now that you have returned, please don't be like him, others are not good, but they have not tasted careless human life, please open the net." ”
