Naturally, the drought could not be delayed for too long, and Bai Lichen would set off in only three days after receiving the emperor's appointment.

Mu Qing naturally wanted to leave early, but she didn't want to stay in the capital for a moment, who could guarantee that the queen and the crown prince would not take action against her?

"Niangniang, is it really enough to take these things away, if Niangniang wants, you can bring the usual bedding ......"

Xin'er looked at Mu Qing's dress that only contained a small box, and her face was a little uneasy, the climate in the south is humid and hot, and Niangniang is also from everyone's young lady, how can she withstand it......

"It doesn't have to be like this, after all, we are there to do things, if all these things are brought, what will those people think of me? I guess I'll feel like I'm going to go over and enjoy it, and then I'll be criticized, right? ”

Mu Qing could see it clearly, and Bai Lichen would probably not let himself do this.

"Yes, miss, it's the slave who didn't think it through." Xin'er nodded, took Mu Qing's clothes, and got into the carriage outside with her.

Bai Lichen and Mu Qing used a carriage, he was waiting in the carriage early, and when he saw Mu Qing coming, his face was still a little cold.

After all, the two of them had some unpleasantness a few days ago.

Mu Qing can see it, whether it is persuaded by Qing Ziran or not, after all, Bai Lichen finally took her to the south with her, and she should express her gratitude to Bai Lichen.

"Thank you to Your Royal Highness for taking me to the south this time, so that I can avoid many troubles in the capital."

These words made his heart feel better, so he nodded and continued to read his book, but he didn't feel embarrassed Mu Qing.

The half hour that he had just waited for Mu Qing to clean up seemed to have passed.

The journey to the south was long, and the carriage had to bump on the road for more than ten days to reach its destination.

"I don't know if the prince will make a move, stay by my side these days, don't walk around."

Bai Lichen still told him in the end, there were guards around him, and it was naturally impossible for the prince to do it easily, but Mu Qing couldn't guarantee it.

Although Mu Qingying was fine, Bai Lichen still felt that she would definitely walk around.

In the end, he still instructed Danqing to allocate a few of the secret guards he had cultivated to Mu Qing's side so that he could take care of her safety.

"But master, the prince and the queen's people must be aimed at you, if you are like this, ......"

Danqing was still a little worried about the safety of his master, and wanted to dissuade him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He could feel that although his master didn't seem to care about the appearance of the Third Imperial Concubine, he actually valued it in his heart.

"The more you go to the south, the hotter it gets, and the mosquitoes are more, but fortunately, I brought a lot of things."

Xin'er sat in the carriage behind her, Mu Qing could only fan herself, and the expression on her face was a little uncomfortable.

After all, I have been on the road for seven or eight days, and halfway through the journey, I am getting closer and closer to the south.

The weather was hot and dry, and although the carriage was better, it was also uncomfortably hot.

Fortunately, Xin'er brought all the insect repellent potions before, and Mu Qing threw it into the carriage, the smell was a lot more pungent, and Bai Lichen's brows were furrowed.

"What are you doing to sprinkle so many potions."

"Look at the mosquito-bitten bags in my hand, and you ask me why I sprinkled the potion! I'm really going to die from mosquitoes. ”

Mu Qing lifted a section of his sleeve, revealing a lotus-like forearm, and there were a few scattered red envelopes on his fair skin that had been bitten out by mosquitoes, which were very swollen, Bai Lichen turned his head a little helplessly, as if he didn't want to look at Mu Qing's hand directly.

"Don't show your arms in front of people."

His words seemed a little pedantic, Mu Qing was stunned for a moment before putting down his sleeves, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed.

She still couldn't get rid of some of her habits before she crossed over, forgetting that in this place, the woman's body was tightly wrapped.

However, after thinking about it a few times, I felt that what Bai Lichen said was a little unreasonable.

Although he and Bailichen are not husband and wife, but this is just a matter of revealing an arm, Bailichen actually avoided suspicion like this?

It seems that for this reason, the atmosphere between Bai Lichen and Mu Qing on the next road was very awkward, especially Bai Lichen, who almost didn't look at Mu Qing at a glance.

"Your Highness, outside is Linqi Town, not far from Fengyuan County, and it's getting late, why don't Your Highness and Niangniang rest here today?"

It was the leader of the escort who said this, that is, the leader of the Praetorian Guard sent to protect Bailichen and Mu Qing this time.

It is true that the sky outside has darkened, and it is inevitably a little inappropriate if you continue to hurry, Bailichen opened the curtain.

"In that case, let's rest here for the night."

Hearing this, the people outside stopped the carriage and horses, slowed down and entered the town.

Perhaps because Linqi Town is too close to Fengyuan, the drought in Linqi Town is also very serious, and not a single vendor on the street can be seen, and the door panel of the rice shop is covered with a thick layer of ashes, obviously it has not been open for a long time.

"Fengyuan is the main food supply in Linqi Town, and Fengyuan is not immune to the drought."

Seeing the appearance of the surroundings, Mu Qing's heart was a little reluctant.

"Why don't you stay here first, help the people of Linqi Town settle down, and then go to Fengyuan."

Mu Qing just mentioned it, but he was immediately refuted by Bai Lichen.

"No, my father's order to give priority to the drought in Fengyuan is naturally my father's intention, if you don't understand, don't say this."

Bai Lichen's eyes didn't lift, in Mu Qing's eyes, it was like being indifferent to the drought in Linqi Town, which made Mu Qing's heart a little angry.

"What do you mean, the people here are suffering so much, do you see, Fengyuan is a big city, but this is also a victim of drought."

Mu Qing looked at the lady who was begging with a child on the side of the road, and the pain in her heart suddenly permeated, in modern times, she had never seen this kind of starvation all over the wilderness, and when she saw it for the first time, her heart was naturally affected a lot.

"If you want to stay, then you can just go."

Bai Lichen has always been too lazy to talk to people, and he even forgot how stubborn Mu Qing's temper is.

After he finished saying this, Mu Qing's face turned a little colder.

Until the way to the inn, neither of them said a word.

"Niangniang, this is absolutely not good, if something happens to you, how can I explain to His Highness!"

When Xin'er heard her mother say that she wanted to stay here, her whole face changed instantly.

She expected that her mother must have been angry with the prince when she was in the car again, but she was angry and couldn't stay here.

"Why not, Bai Lichen said it, tell me to stay if I want to, then I naturally can't live up to his kindness."

Mu Qing's eyes were a little resentful, and the words he said made Xin'er not know how to refute, after all, her own mother has always been very stubborn, and if she insists on staying here, no one can persuade her.

"But Niangniang, if you stay here and are targeted by the Empress and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Although the slave is stupid, no matter how you think about it, you know that the people of the queen and the crown prince must have been following behind the third prince and are ready to find an opportunity to find trouble for you. ”

Indeed, as Xin'er said, Mu Qing's heart is also clear.

But when she thought of Bai Lichen's silence to the refugees here, she held back a breath of anger in her heart.

originally thought that this third prince was a decent gentleman, although he looked a little indifferent, but it was much better than he thought, but he didn't expect it to be such a person!

"Okay, Xin'er, I know you're doing it for my good, but I've already decided, so you don't have to say these things."

Mu Qing had obviously decided, she packed her things that day, and asked Xin'er to send a message to Bailichen, saying that she was going to stay here now and would not go to Fengyuan with Bailichen.

"The mother said that she would stay here and help these people who were famine......"

Xin'er's body was shaking when she said this, and she didn't know how her young lady had the courage to tell Bai Lichen these things, and the expression on her face was very scared, "It must be that Niangniang was angry for a while so she said these things, Your Highness, ...... you."

"You don't have to say these words, I know her, presumably just to fight with me."

Bai Lichen had a three-point sneer on his face.

Before taking Mu Qing to the south, Bai Lichen had already given Mu Qing a step, and now this Mu Qing is getting more and more inches!

"If she wants to stay, stay, I don't have any opinion at all, if she wants to leave, she can go."

Dropping this sentence, Bailichen drove the people out.

Xin'er had no choice but to watch the carriage of the Third Highness leave Linqi Town, while her own mother remained in this inn.

The innkeeper obviously didn't know what was wrong with this group of people, and it was the first time he saw such a large group of people come out and leave his wife in the town, and there was no manpower at all, only a maid who looked very weak.

Mu Qing knew that she was really impulsive this time, after all, it was actually useless for her little woman to stay in this town, and she couldn't conjure food out of thin air for the people in the town, right?

"Mother, what should we do next?"

"Take one step at a time, isn't there a forest around here, and I don't look like a beast, why don't I go in and see if there's anything to satisfy my hunger."

Mu Qing's words made Xin'er's heart startle.

This forest has always been dangerous, what if your mother has any strengths and weaknesses?
