"That's good!" Min Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief, and then wondered a little, "In that case, why hasn't Youning moved until now?Could it be that there is something wrong with her or you......"

"No," Tanglin Guyun shook his head without hesitation, "Queen Mother, don't forget, Youning was pregnant on the way to the Valley of Customs, and it was only because of the wrong timing that the child was not born, which is enough to show that we don't have any problems." ”

Min Xinrou suddenly said: "It's the same." That is to say, the opportunity has not yet arrived, and the queen mother is too anxious. However, you can't always be so resigned, it's better to go to the doctor to see if you need to take some supplements to regulate your body, maybe it is easier to conceive. ”

Tanglin Guyun is now full of the increasingly serious drought in the whole country, where can he take care of this? He agreed absentmindedly, and then got up and left.

Looking at his back, Min Xinrou's expression was a little dignified, and this dignified expression was not just because of today's drought.

Originally, he wanted to go back to the imperial study to review the chapter, but he was really not in the mood halfway through, so Tanglin Guyun turned to Tianfeng Palace instead. Duanmu Youning was sitting at the table in front of the window painting, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly threw down his pen and stepped forward to salute: "The concubine is the emperor." ”

"That's it!" Tanglin Guyun waved his hand weakly, "I am very tired, you accompany me to lie on the couch for a while." ”

Looking at the tiredness on his face, Duanmu Youning nodded and agreed: "Yes, the emperor, please." Stand down, all of you!"

Shonan and the others stepped back and closed the door. Duanmu Youning had already waited for Donglin Guyun to take off his coat and put it aside, took off his shoes for him, and helped him lie down. Tanglin Guyun gently patted the position beside him: "You come too." ”

Duanmu Youning answered yes, slowly lay down, sighed and said: "The state affairs are busy, the emperor still pays attention to the dragon body and takes care of the country." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're busy," Tanglin Guyun hugged her into his arms, sniffing the fragrance on her body, and her tense nerves finally relaxed, "But now that the drought is serious, the people can't open the pot now, and I feel very uncomfortable." ”

Duanmu Youning snuggled in his arms, his eyes flickering slightly: "Even so, it's not the emperor's fault, and the people won't blame the emperor." ”

"But I'll blame myself!" Donglin Guyun shook his head, "Tanglin Luoxi is a chaotic minister and thief, and the Yulin Kingdom was smooth during his reign. It was my turn to ascend to the throne, but the drought was severe, and the people were struggling to make a living. ”

Duanmu Youning shook his head: "That's not what I said. During the reign of Tanglin Luoxi, the wind and rain were smooth, but he was cruel and unkind, indiscriminately killed innocents, and made the people miserable, how can it be compared to your benevolent government and love for the people, and won the admiration of all the people? Rest assured, the people will not blame the emperor for the current drought. ”

Tanglin Guyun raised his face, kissed her lightly on the lips, and finally smiled: "After listening to your words, I feel much better, I hope the people really won't blame me." By the way, I went to say goodbye to the queen mother, and when I met the concubine, she said that Yingya was happy. ”

"Really?" Duanmu Youning was naturally very happy when he heard this, "This girl, didn't tell me about such a big happy event, have you forgotten all the methods of transmitting information in the Killing Gate?"

"Speaking of which, you and I have been married for a long time. Tanglin Guyun's hand slowly slid towards her lower abdomen, "And I've been working hard for the past year, why haven't I made a villain yet?"

Duanmu Youning couldn't help laughing: "There is nothing, it's just that the opportunity is not enough." Previously, the concubine was also worried about what was wrong with her body, so she specially summoned the imperial doctor to take a look, and they all said that the concubine was normal, just relax and let it be. ”

Tanglin Guyun was relieved when he heard this, and smiled even more happily: "I said that there would be no problem, but you still don't believe it." It must be that I haven't worked hard enough, so it's better to take advantage of the sunshine at this moment and work harder......"

As he spoke, he had untied Duanmu Youning's clothes and leaned over to press it. Duanmu Youning was taken aback, and immediately struggled: "The emperor doesn't want ......it!"

"What are you afraid of?" Tanglin Guyun's breath was already slightly urgent, "You are my person, what day and night do I want you to share......?" Hello fragrant ......."

Duanmu Youning's face flushed, and he succumbed to his tender offensive.

After a ** warmth, Tanglin Guyun's tense nerves became more and more relaxed, and he secretly relieved himself that this was a test given to him by God, and it would always pass if he boiled it up!

A few days later, under Ke Zhengyan's Zhang Luo, the prayer for rain had been fully prepared, and Tanglin Guyun went to the altar to worship incense under the attention of all people, and secretly prayed to God, hoping that God would have mercy and sympathize with the suffering of the people, and could rain down to relieve this crisis.

However, this effort was destined to be in vain, and his voice was never heard from heaven, and the drought continued unhurriedly. In the torment of day and night, another two years have passed.

"Could it be that the heavens are going to destroy my Yulin Kingdom? It's been three years, and it hasn't rained yet......

In the imperial study, Tanglin Guyun looked out of the window with blank eyes, and his originally handsome and peerless face was already haggard, as if he had aged for dozens of years in an instant.

In the past two years, there have been no less than a dozen times just to set up an altar to pray for rain, but the heavens have turned a blind eye, and the sky is clear every day, not to mention dark clouds, and even white clouds are difficult to see. Especially in summer, the scorching sun scorches the earth, and it seems that it wants to burn everything in this world into charcoal!

There has been no harvest for three consecutive years, and more and more people have been affected by the drought. Although Tanglin Guyun has ordered the opening of the treasury to help the victims, it is a drop in the bucket, especially in some remote areas, where countless people have died of hunger and thirst!

There was no food to eat, so the people had to dig wild vegetables, pick leaves, etc., to barely satisfy themselves, but there were also more monks and less porridge. What's more, under the drought, even wild vegetables are difficult to grow at all, and the mountains and countryside are full of bare, charred land, even in the hot summer, the trees that should be lush are bare, shocking!

Under such circumstances, the requests for help from officials from all over the country flew to the capital like snowflakes, and landed in front of Tanglin Guyun one after another, making him anxious and unable to cope. With a limited amount of grain in the national treasury, how can it be possible to meet the needs of the people of the whole country?

"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you. The chamberlain stepped forward lightly to report.

Tanglin Guyun came back to his senses and sighed slightly: "Xuan." ”

The waiter bowed and retreated, and after a while, Duanmu Youning walked in slowly with a tray: "The concubine is the emperor." ”

"No courtesy," Tanglin Guyun nodded vigorously, "Just leave these things to the maid to do, you are a queen, how can you do such rough work?"

"It's okay," Duanmu Youning shook his head, took out the food in the tray one by one and put them in front of him, "Your Majesty, state affairs are busy, and the dragon body must take care of it! The chamberlain said that you have not eaten all day, how can your body stand it if you continue like this? The concubine specially made a few light and refreshing side dishes, and the emperor tried them. ”

Tanglin Guyun frowned, and sighed deeply after a moment: "The people are still in dire straits, and there are countless people who have died of starvation, how can I eat?"

"If the emperor doesn't eat anything, will the people have a good life?" Duanmu Youning patiently comforted, "You are responsible for the safety of the world, and you can't make any mistakes, even if it is for the sake of the people of Yulin Kingdom, you can eat a little more!"

As she spoke, she took some vegetables in a small bowl and put them in front of Tanglin Guyun. Knowing that she felt sorry for herself, Tanglin Guyun finally smiled gently: "You haven't eaten either, have you?" ”

Duanmu Youning breathed a sigh of relief, sat down with a smile, picked up chopsticks and ate some. Seeing that Tanglin Guyun quickly frowned again, she really didn't have much appetite, her eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that concubines should not interfere in court politics......"

"If you have something to say," Tanglin Guyun smiled, "This is not a court, it's just a casual conversation between our husband and wife, and it has nothing to do with the government." ”

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty. Duanmu Youning nodded, and after a little hesitation, he continued, "Your Majesty, in fact, although the drought is very serious, the concubine thinks that the weather will not last forever, and sooner or later there will be changes. Therefore, the most difficult thing now is to get through the current crisis until the sky falls. ”

Dongling Guyun smiled bitterly: "I also know this, the question is how can I get through the current crisis? Although I have opened the treasury, how can I save everyone?"

Duanmu Youning frowned slightly: "The so-called crisis, the most serious is the lack of food, the Yulin Kingdom will not harvest because of the three-year drought, but the emperor should not forget that the drought is only in the Yulin Country, and has not spread to the entire Lingyuan Continent." ”

Hearing this, Tanglin Guyun was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized: "You mean that you can ask for support from other countries?"

"That's right," Duanmu Youning nodded, "Except for the Yulin Kingdom, the other two countries have good weather and good grain harvests every year! The Three Kingdoms of Lingyuan are a country of brothers, they have always helped each other and overcome difficulties together, and there is no shortage of precedents for helping each other for thousands of years, I don't think they will refuse, right?"

He has been worried about the drought all along, and he has prayed for rain from the sky, but Dongling Guyun has never thought of taking this road! The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this is a feasible strategy, and his frowning brows finally stretched a little, and his eyes flashed with joy: "This is a good way, but I don't know if the two countries are willing to help......

"It should be. Duanmu Youning was very optimistic, "The concubine has always had a good relationship with Xunhuan, and he is the emperor's brother-in-law, so he is a family, and his family is in trouble, how can he stand by and watch? As for Ming Fengguo...... It's okay for him to refuse, but he'd better promise that he will never be of use to my Yulin Kingdom in the future!"
