For three days, the right king never came back.

Yuan Bao'er didn't go over, even if the daily meals deteriorated to a degree that was visible to the naked eye.

By the evening of the third day, the maid could not bring any food.

Facing Yuan Bao'er's gaze, she pulled her hands a little crampedly, "They weren't prepared." ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded, not as if surprised, "You can eat elsewhere." ”

Except for her, a palace maid, the others are guards.

The guards were provided with a separate supply of food, so even if the people inside starved to death, the guards would not be affected.

The palace maid moved her foot a little awkwardly, and when she saw that her expression was as usual, she trotted out.

In the evening, the maid came in and gave her a piece of bread.

Yuan Bao'er shook her head with a smile, "Keep it, you have breakfast tomorrow." ”

The palace maid opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say.

Yuan Bao'er read the book for a while and slept peacefully.

The next morning, Yuan Baoer drank a bowl of tea and felt hungrier, but she was always flat.

If the palace maid hadn't followed all the time, she would have wondered if she had eaten in advance behind her back.

After washing, the palace maid divided the cake into two halves, one large and one small, and gave the big one to Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Bao'er shook her head and said calmly: "Your Kuha will never starve me to death, but you may not." ”

"So, protect yourself."

Yuan Bao'er knew her identity very well, and she didn't care if she would tell the right king.

Even if she told it, she was not afraid.

Because that's what it is.

Neither she nor him were stupid, and they both knew that the living were more useful.

If the palace maid told the right king, it was nothing more than two possibilities, but no matter which one it was, Yuan Baoer didn't care.

When the right king got down to the court, he heard the words from the palace maid, he shook his hand, and regretted it a little in his heart.

He actually knew that this method was useless at all, but he just couldn't help but want to try, even if it was just to give him a step, he would be fine.

But apparently, she didn't want to give, and kicked the ladder, and asked him if he wanted to jump.

Although he is Kuha, he also wants to save face, but for the sake of his people, sometimes face is not needed.

At noon, Yuan Baoer had an extremely sumptuous lunch.

Yuan Bao'er was always plain, but the palace maid was relieved.

As a witness to the comings and goings with you and me, and not seeing the gunsmoke of the battle, she is honored to see Kuha's intentions and the importance of Yuan Bao'er.

She was the daughter of a herdsman before she entered the court, and no one knew better than she the importance of grass to herdsmen.

With abundant grass, water will be born around, and with water, the pasture will be fatter, and the cattle and sheep will be well supplied there.

She still remembers that when she was a child, their family found a rich water meadow, which was a very good few years for her, with endless milk tea every day, endless dried yogurt, and most importantly, never went hungry.

But then, the grass was gnawed away, the water dried up, and the family had to move.

However, they were unlucky, and they did not find a good place for several years, and then after a snowstorm, she was sold by her father and became a slave ever since.

Because she knew the importance of grass, she especially hoped that Yuan Baoer could teach them.

However, she was illiterate and could not read Yuan Bao'er's writing, but she knew that this person was especially important to Tuman, especially herders like their family.

And she knew that Kuha had come up with so many means, and the ultimate goal was just to ask her to help grow things.

"Can't you really help us?"

She asked tentatively.

"Kuha asked you to ask me?"

Yuan Baoer did not answer the rhetorical question.

The palace maid shook her head, told her about her experience, and said, "I want you to help us." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and said flatly: "I understand what you think, but what to do is not for me to decide." ”

"No matter how powerful I am, I am a citizen of Great Xia after all, and the only one who can command me is the king of Great Xia."

The palace maid understood, so no matter what she said, no matter what she did, as long as the king of Great Xia didn't say it, she would never help.

When the right king learned about it, he angrily dropped the official document in his hand.

But after a while, he finally collapsed.

Dealing with Yuan Bao'er, he can play tricks, but for Great Xia, that is, the confrontation between countries, it is by no means something that can be solved in a few words.

And Great Xia and Tuman have been old enemies for many years, and the Right King has always known Great Xia's attitude towards Tuman, and he will never bow his head for a little grass seed.

After Yuan Bao'er said this, the right king never appeared again.

Yuan Bao'er knew that the right king had given up on convincing her.

And the scope of her activities has also narrowed from the inner sanctum and the courtyard to only the inner sanctum, although there is no treatment in food, but there is no beauty in the past.

Yuan Baoer was very calm about this.

To be honest, it was far more reassuring to her now than before.

Because this means that the right king will not pay much attention to her during this time.

The days passed without hurry, and Yuan Baoer occasionally wrote and painted, but she didn't write anything useful.

The right king was still after processing the official document and took a look at what she had written, but he wouldn't ask again, and he didn't want to ask.

In the blink of an eye, in the middle of summer, the palace maid only took the quilt outside, and she felt covered in sweat.

Yuan Baoer only glanced at this lightly and continued to play chess.

The palace maid was curious, "You're not hot?" ”

"The heart is calm and naturally cool," Yuan Bao'er said very profoundly, but in fact, she was already fainting from the heat.

But she knew that the right king would not pull the ice on this side, so she could only cool herself down psychologically.

And she also found that this summer was unusually hot.

She had listened to the discussion of the soldiers outside, today is much earlier than in previous years, it is fast, and there are not a few rains this year, and the land is going to dry up, which means that there is no abundant rain nourishment on the grassland, there is not enough water and grass, and the reserves of cattle and sheep are naturally not enough.

Such summers are often followed by extremely cold winters.

This means that by the time the moon comes, a large number of cattle and sheep will freeze to death.

In the past, at this time, Tuman staged robbers to rob grain, but this year, the border pass has been hoarding a large army, because she and Gu Sheng have not returned for a long time, Yuan Ge'er has been over there, and insists on not withdrawing troops.

In other words, it is very likely that this year's Tuman will not be able to bargain from the Xia border.

If the situation is allowed to deteriorate, either the family will not be able to withstand the pressure and initiate civil strife to relieve internal pressure.

Or launch a coup d'état to overthrow Kuha, who has not done so well, and replace it with a richer person to take the position, so as to achieve a win-win situation.

Either of these, either is detrimental to the right king.

Yuan Baoer thought deeply, if she let it, what would happen to her little life.

For so long, Gu Sheng never rescued her.

She trusted him not to give up on her, but the fact that he never came, was telling.
