Chapter XXXVII: Surveying the People's Situation 2
Bai Yi suddenly stirred up ripples in her heart, and felt that the little girl was very pitiful.
"Is that just the fruit?" Yu Qi spoke more gently than usual, and it was like a breeze and drizzle.
The girl shook her head, "And my brother, I'm sick." β
"Then you can use the silver to buy some medicine for your brother!" Yu Qi said and took the silver again.
As a result, the girl returned the original one to Yu Qi together, and hurriedly ran away with the dry cakes.
Bai Yi and Yu Qi both wondered, strange, my brother should want to get more silver when he is sick!
However, Wen Jiao ate quietly and didn't react.
After all, Wen Jiao has also been bitter since she was a child, she is a native of the southwest, where it has always been a poor place, the rule is weak, often either famine or various disasters, naturally, in order to survive, many people have to start robbing and plundering.
Wen Jiao's family is poor but passable, her mother has studied, and her father has been a soldier. But later, her parents insisted that they would let her go to the north, where there was a way out, and Wen Jiao had already understood things when she was ten years old, so she set foot on a distant place alone. There are many things at home, and my grandparents are still alive, so the family naturally can't leave. It's still so small~, after passing through towns, climbing mountains, and coming to the north that her mother said, the new things in front of her hit her. I have been deceived, beaten, and bought, but I still fought tenaciously again and again, and finally chose to step into the blood-red palace gate.
People who have been crawling around may not be indifferent to these for a long time, and it is no wonder that Bai Yi let her do the interrogation of people.
After a while, a large group of children came up and stretched out their hands.
Bai Yi's pity weakened a lot, and he even felt a little annoyed, because several boys directly began to flip through their bags, and even began to grab what Wen Jiao was eating on the table, and Yu Qi sat down like a pine, as if he didn't intend to give them to them.
The children seemed to know that there was no play, and walked away in frustration, but there were still two little boys standing.
"Hungry?"
"Hmm."
"I can buy it for you, but tell me something truthfully, is that okay?" Yu Qi smiled.
The two boys thought for a moment and nodded.
"Why did you become a beggar?"
The younger boy hugged the other boy and cried, and the older boy said, "No parents!" β
"Snitch?"
"Hmm."
"How many people are there?" Yu Qi then asked.
"It's too much." The boy lowered his head, his face full of sadness.
"No way, there will never be so many in Light Wave Town, usually only a few are too many." Bai Yi suddenly felt that these children must not be local.
"Really." The boy said it again, very earnestly.
"How is it possible, the city lord has always taken good care of this place, and it has always been the richest, why didn't we see one when we came out a few days ago, but now it is a group of people." Bai Yi didn't believe it, for example, he came out for a day last day, why didn't he see a little beggar.
"He's still a kid, can he lie? But the lord of the castle is an adult. Yu Qi smiled, it seemed that he felt that Bai Yi's prejudice was a little too much and not rational enough.
Bai Yi is speechless, and for some reason, many people will choose what they see!
"Eyes can't tell, and they're deceiving." Yu Qi touched Bai Yi's head, but he suddenly didn't know where to start, and he was wearing a beaded hairpin. In the end, I touched the broken hair on both sides to feel the temperature between the hairs.
The two children were iron-tempered, and seeing that Bai Yi didn't believe it, he directly took their hands and ran with them.
Wen Jiao buried her head in hard work, and when she looked up, she found that Bai Yi and Yu Qi were gone, so just wait for them here! "Boss, two more."
Running in the alley, of course, the children run fast, Bai Yi's soles are high, and it takes a lot of effort to run, plus the hair is combed all up, and the headdress is heavy. It's painful to run~.
Finally, stopped at a bleak and uninhabited bridge, Bai Yi immediately let go of the child's hand, held his waist and hurriedly took a breath, but Yu Qi was still excited when he ran.
"What did you let us see?" Yu Qi looked at it, but there was no one at all.
The boy, said. "There are under the bridge, and there are in the broken temple ahead."
The two little boys led them down the bridge, and as they walked down the bridge, they held out their fingers.
Bai Yi and Yu Qi walked over and saw a pair of small eyes looking at them, all of them were ragged, in the winter~, how did they survive, Bai Yi approached unconsciously, but found that those children were curled up, afraid of themselves.
Bai Yi wanted them to let down their guard and squeeze out a smile, "You ......"
Looking at such a scene, Bai Yi was really speechless, but he didn't expect that there were so many homeless children in the most prosperous Qingbo Town in the country, what to say about patrolling the people's feelings, ridiculous, ridiculous!
What porridge shed, what kind of relief point, is to make a face, but the real need of relief is the vulnerable groups who are helpless.
"I won't hurt you, I'm the imperial concubine of Fengquan, the sixth princess. We will help you. Bai Yi spoke softly and cautiously.
"Princess? It's a princess! I miss my mother, I hate the snitch. A little girl ran over and hugged Bai Yi and started crying.
Bai Yi squatted down and patted comfortingly. The children all ran around them, and many of them cried, hugged them, and screamed, saying that they hated the snitch, and that they would return my mother and father.
Bai Yi was bitter in his heart, and when his father entered the cold palace that year, he also shouted like this, crying pear blossoms with rain.
"Are they all snitches? But there's no trace of the snitch here~" Yu Qi asked.
"Yes, a lot, above the lake. They don't come out these days, but they used to come out a lot, to rob things, to kill people, to set fires. β
"On the lake?" Bai Yi suddenly understood, Wen Jiao and Yulan said that what they saw must be the snitch.
Yu Qi smiled, "Kids, do you want the snitch to disappear forever?" β
"Of course, but can I do it?"
"Of course, but you have to cooperate." Bai Yi rolled his eyes, and Yu Qi began to come up with ghost ideas again. But I like him like this.
Yu Qi tells the children what to do and then goes back with Bai Yi.
Bai Yi was puzzled, "Yu Qi, it's not a good thing to talk too much~, snitches are widely distributed, they are everywhere, and what disappears forever." β
"Shouldn't the princess trust Yu Qi?" Yu Qi smiled.
"I naturally believe in Yuqi, but ......"
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, just find out the leader, and the rest is a plate of loose sand." Yu Qi said that he was very confident and confident.
Bai Yi laughed, looking at Yu Qi like this, he knew that he must have a score. "Then I'll wait to see the show."
"The princess doesn't have time to watch the show, because the starring role is Her Royal Highness the princess."
Bai Yi felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and looked at Yu Qi's sinister appearance, and felt a little panicked in his heart.
"Whatever you want." Bai Yi didn't bother to pay attention.
After coming back, Wen Jiao had already been lazy and leaning on her.
"Let's go."
Wen Jiao opened her eyes in a daze and dragged her heavy body to walk.
"Finally after watching the child come back!"
"Uh-huh."
"What's going on?"
"One is more pitiful than the other." Bai Yi felt uncomfortable when he recalled the frightened little eyes of those children.
"We're here to help them, right?"
"It's nature."
"But how much can you help?" Wen Jiao sighed, too, we don't have that ability.
"yes, I can't even protect myself."
Yu Qi didn't feel it, "Then it will first enter the eyes of Her Majesty the Empress, and it will be natural to be favored." β
"Someone used to say this to me, how could it be possible at that time, the mother couldn't tolerate me in her eyes. But now I want to give it a try. Bai Yi remembered that time when he secretly went to the cold palace, and his father said this to himself. Now from Yu Qi's mouth, maybe he should really try to take a different path.
"There is no try, only success." Yu Qi spit out a sentence lightly.
But it gave Bai Yi a booster.
"Don't look at me, I'm sure I'll have both hands on my back." Wen Jiao immediately raised her hands, her eyes affirmative.
Along the way, Bai Yi feels responsible, has his own selfishness, and has his father's expectations.
Dad, Yiyi will definitely correct your name and take you out of the cold palace in a beautiful way, so that everyone will no longer scold you.
Back there, there were more and more people who came to fetch porridge and get things, and they were very busy, and Bai Yi didn't plan to call Yulan.
"Let's go, let's go see the Mother Empress!" Bai Yi curled the corners of his mouth.
Walking to the hall, she didn't see the shadow of the mother queen, but Bai Xiyan was here, she watched in surprise as Bai Yi walked in step by step, and was still sitting on the upper seat.
"Yo~, my sister is in good spirits today!" Bai Xiyan looked disdainful, looking at a monkey.
Bai Yi bowed slightly, "Bai Yi's leg hurts a little, sister, don't blame my sister for not being polite." β
Wen Jiao stood beside her and raised her head high. Yu Qi waited quietly on the side.
Aunt Yan immediately lowered her face and frowned, "There is no distinction between respect and inferiority, no education and no upbringing." β
Bai Yi laughed out loud when he heard this, "There is no distinction between respect and inferiority? You're going to tell me? Is it worthy? Wen Jiaoβ"
Wen Jiao understood in seconds, nodded, went down and pulled Aunt Yan's hair, and dragged it to the ground, Aunt Yan was already a little fat, and she was unstable under the plate, and fell to the ground.
"Ouch-" Aunt Yan cried out, thinking it hurt a lot.
"How do you want to !!?" Bai Xiyan became angry and slapped the table, after all, hurting Aunt Yan's face was to slap her face again.
Bai Yi whispered softly, "Good sister, she said that she wanted to teach me humility, and I will give her the opportunity to teach!" β
Wen Jiao laughed and kicked on Aunt Yan, "Yes, Aunt Yan, you are a maid, she is the sixth princess, she is the respect, you are the inferior-"
Wen Jiao kicked her feet fiercely, and when she heard others say how Bai Xiyan treated Wen Jiao of the sixth princess that night, she felt that she really couldn't calm down.
Bai Xiyan threw the saucer on the table over, slammed it on Wen Jiao, and put on that self-respecting face. "You are also a servant, so I will teach you a good lesson."
Bai Xiyan kicked Wen Jiao down again, and Wen Jiao didn't dare to attack Bai Xiyan, so she could only bear it.
Bai Xiyan didn't think to stop, grabbed Wen Jiao's chin, "snapped", and slapped him over.
Wen Jiao's face immediately appeared with a finger mother print, and it turned red. Wen Jiao didn't dare to move, and suffered silently.
Bai Yi got up and wanted to pull Wen Jiao over, but Bai Xiyan said to Bai Yi, "Isn't my sister going to learn to be humble?" I teach it myself. β
"Bai Xiyan!! Don't forget, it's your people who offend first. β
Hahahaha~ Bai Xiyan laughed, "My people? Is there a problem? I am honorable, and my people cannot be offended. And you, just a poor woman who is not favored in the cold palace, and of course your maid is also a cheap thing. β
