Chapter 14: The Broken Temple
In order not to arouse suspicion, Xiao Han deliberately left after Xiao Qi and them left Taixue.
After leaving Taixue, she found Xiao Yan's carriage not far away.
At this time, the rest of the Taixue had to prepare for the next lesson, and no one should pay attention to it, so Xiao Han immediately got into the carriage.
After entering the carriage, she heard Xiao Qi complaining dissatisfiedly: "Sister Han, you also saw it, it's not fun to learn too much, let's go somewhere else, okay?!" ”
Xiao Han frowned, and his tone was very calm: "Your Highness, you came to Taixue to study, not to have fun, if you let Your Majesty know, you will definitely be reprimanded." ”
Xiao Qi was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Lord Pingle, this palace is for you to come to play with this palace, not for you to reprimand this palace!" There are enough such people around this palace, and there is no need for you to be one more! ”
Xiao Han really didn't expect Xiao Qi to say such a thing, which made Xiao Han's anger 'rub' up.
Originally, she wanted to take it step by step and guide it slowly, but Xiao Yan's appearance of a 'bear child' made her only three points of patience disappear.
Although she was angry, she still remembered Xiao Yan's identity, so she didn't do anything, but thought of a way.
Xiao Han said expressionlessly: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to go out of the palace for a 'micro-service private visit'?!" There are exactly two hours to go, so I'll show you there! ”
Saying that, she instructed the coachman to go to a ready-to-wear shop first, and bought a coat made of linen according to Xiao Yan's size, and asked Xiao Qi to change into it.
Xiao Qi looked at the clothes and immediately showed a disgusted expression: "Sister Han, what is this?!" ”
Xiao Han's tone was flat: "This is a shirt made of linen, since Your Highness wants to 'micro-suit private visit', naturally you can't wear this luxurious clothes, so that everyone knows your identity, and there is no meaning of 'micro-service'." ”
seemed to be convinced by these words, although disgusted, Xiao Qi still changed into that dress.
After changing, looking at Xiao Yan's still white and tender little face, how do you look like ordinary people.
After thinking about it for a while, she thought of a way to take off Xiao Yan's jade crown and tie her hair with strips of cloth.
This was not the end, after getting out of the carriage, she wiped two more handfuls of dust on his face, and it seemed that he had finally lost his luxury, but looked like a little beggar on the street.
Originally, Xiao Yan was extremely dissatisfied with being tossed like this, but when she saw Xiao Han wearing the same clothes, no matter how much dissatisfaction she had, she could only swallow it.
The two men asked the coachman to inform Zhang Yuanqing to return to the East Palace first, and told him to wait for them in the alley to come back, and then the two left the carriage.
After the initial dissatisfaction, now it is more of a novelty, Xiao Qi said excitedly: "Sister Han, where are we going next, are we going to 'brave the rivers and lakes and fight for righteousness', or 'robbing corrupt officials, robbing the rich and helping the poor'?!" ”
Xiao Han thought to himself, fortunately, the emperor's uncle didn't hear this, otherwise he would have vomited blood in anger.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qi's character was not formed overnight. Even if she gets angry again, just beat him or scold him, it is impossible to make him 'change his ways' immediately.
What's more, she is not qualified to teach him a lesson.
She led Xiao Qi to a temple, which was already dilapidated, and could not even shelter from the wind and rain.
Xiao Qi was surprised: "Sister Han, what are you bringing me here for, it's not fun to look at here!" ”
She didn't pay attention to Xiao Yan's words, but walked directly into the main hall of the temple, there were more than a dozen ragged people in the main hall, and a closer look found that they were not very old.
Seeing the two of them appear, these people immediately became vigilant.
One of them, who looked older, stepped forward and said with a wary expression: "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to find Lu Yi." Xiao Han said gently.
As soon as Xiao Han said the name of 'Lu Yi', the originally tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
At this time, a five or six-year-old girl ran to them and said crisply: "Brother Lu Yi went out to beg and hasn't come back yet, do you have anything to do with him?!" ”
When the girl ran over, Xiao Qi unconsciously hid behind Xiao Han.
Xiao Han naturally sensed his discomfort, but she didn't say anything.
At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walked in with a cloth bag full of patches, shouting as he walked: "Dog, go boil water, I brought some rice back, I don't have to go hungry today." ”
The person who spoke first shouted happily: "Brother Lu Yi, I'll go now!" ”
After speaking, he didn't care about them, and ran to Lu Yi with a 'huff'.
At this time, Lu Yi noticed that there were two 'uninvited guests' here.
After carefully observing what they were wearing, Lu Yi asked out loud: "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" ”
The girl on the side said unexpectedly: "Brother Lu Yi, don't you know them?!" But this sister is here to find you! ”
Without waiting for Lu Yi to ask, Xiao Han said: "We are here to find you, I want to beg with you!" ”
Lu Yi was taken aback by these words: "Seeing that you are not dressed like you can't eat, why do you come to beg with us?!" ”
Xiao Han didn't explain the reason, but continued: "Today we will beg with you, if we can beg until all the money will be yours." But today we are really hungry in our wombs, and we have just heard that you have rice..."
Although the words are not finished, the meaning of the words is very clear.
Lu Yi hesitated, Xu couldn't bear it, but he still agreed to Xiao Han's request.
He was puzzled: "We can give you some rice porridge, but as you can see, we have a lot of people here, so we can give you only a lot of rice porridge." ”
Xiao Qi was just about to speak, Xiao Han quickly covered his mouth, and said with a smile: "Understand, your willingness to share it with us has made us grateful." ”
When the child named 'Dog Leftover' was boiling porridge, Xiao Han pulled Xiao Qi and Lu Yi to start chatting. The conversation has been about their lives and the recent refugees in the capital.
In Xiao Han's memory, in the previous life, shortly after she returned to Beijing, due to heavy rains, the water level of the Huai River soared, the embankment collapsed, and a large number of refugees poured into the capital.
The natural disaster not only displaced people, but also caused epidemics. Fearing responsibility, local officials concealed the blame, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people.
When the epidemic finally spread to the capital, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin did not dare to slack off and immediately went to the imperial court.
Emperor Wu An was furious after receiving the report, and ordered the Yushitai and the Criminal Department to jointly investigate the officials involved, and at the same time arranged for the household department to raise funds for disaster relief, and ordered the affected prefectures and counties to open warehouses and release grain, and finally did not forget to order the head of the Tai Hospital to step up the development of special drugs for the treatment of epidemic diseases.
