Before he had time to listen to the rumors of Princess Linglong, Li Yiyan was already busy. When the harvest time came, and the harvest was reported in various places, and before there was time to celebrate, a locust plague suddenly broke out in various places.

Li Yiyan discussed with the ministers in the imperial study all day long. A few days passed, but there was still no good news. Seeing Li Yiyan so busy, his heart was also very distressed.

"Master, go to sleep, the emperor is still discussing state affairs with the ministers, and he can't get over it now." The night was already dark, and Qingzhu saw that Ning Yunxiao didn't want to sleep yet, so he comforted him. Li Yiyan has been very busy in the past few days, but he didn't forget to tell Qingzhu to take care of Ning Yunxiao, for fear that Ning Yunxiao would have any accidents because of his neglect.

Ning Yunxiao was still frowning, thinking carefully about the method of controlling locusts. In the previous life, there were very few locust plagues, and all I remember are some follow-up treatment and protection.

Hearing Qingzhu's voice, he subconsciously shook his head and said casually, "I'm not sleepy yet."

"How can you not be sleepy," Qingzhu frowned and said, "Master, you haven't slept this afternoon."

Ning Yunxiao didn't hear what Qingzhu was saying clearly at all, got up and walked around the spot twice, and then suddenly said, "Are there any medicinal herbs that can be effective against locusts?" ”

Qingzhu sighed, knowing that even if he was persuading, he couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow Ning Yunxiao's words and replied, "Yes." ”

"It's useless" Li Yiyan walked in, came to Ning Yunxiao's side, sat down, hugged her, and said softly: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Why not?" Ning Yunxiao frowned and asked, if you use medicine, it shouldn't have any effect on food, why can't it, she can't figure it out.

"Alas," Li Yiyan sighed, and immediately knew why Ning Yunxiao hadn't slept yet, paused, and said to Qingzhu first: "You go and bring some liquid food." "I haven't slept so late, so I must be a little hungry.

Qingzhu nodded and retreated. With Li Yiyan here, there is nothing to worry about, Li Yiyan's carefulness is no better than his own, so when Li Yiyan comes, they will retreat and give the two of them space to be alone.

Li Yiyan saw that Ning Yunxiao continued to stare at him, so he said, "Do you know how wide the affected area is? ”

Ning Yunxiao shook her head, no one told her the details of the disaster, she knew in the deep palace that the situation of the disaster was already very remarkable.

"There are two states where it is said that locust transit particles will not be collected, and even if they are not collected this year, if the locusts are not removed, they will still not be able to receive anything next year." Speaking of this, Li Yiyan sighed, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face again, there have been messages from the people, all of them saying that they are the only ones who pet the demons, and the people have no income. The origin of the rumors has been investigated, but the problem of locusts has never been solved.

"Isn't there a solution in the history books of the past?"

Li Yiyan shook his head, they have all turned over the history books in the past few days, and they still haven't found any way, and there has never been such a big locust plague in history.

Ning Yunxiao lowered his head, thought for a while, then looked up at him seriously and said, "You should go to the scene to take a look." ”

Li Yiyan lowered his head, thought about it for a long time, and felt that what Ning Yunxiao said was right, talking on paper is talking about soldiers on paper after all, maybe he can think of a way to see that situation with his own eyes!

Qingzhu brought in the liquid food, and brought a few side dishes by the way, when she just went out, Sui Qing told her that Li Yiyan hadn't finished eating yet, and asked her to prepare more food that was easy to digest, so late, eating something that was not easy to digest would make her body uncomfortable.

Ning Yunxiao saw that Qingzhu had taken so much rice, and immediately glared at Li Yiyan and said, "Didn't you have dinner?" ”

"Well, I forgot for a while!" Li Yiyan laughed dryly, and he didn't know if Ning Yunxiao had stayed with Qingzhu for a long time, so he was particularly strict about some aspects of health preservation.

"Qingzhu, you go and ask Sui Qing, did he forget to remind him?" Ning Yunxiao's face was not good.

Li Yiyan hurriedly stopped her, looked at Ning Yunxiao with a dry smile and said, "Don't take an example, don't take an example." ”

Sui Qing is really not to blame for this, Sui Qing reminded him, and even brought the rice, Li Yiyan was concentrating on things at the time, so he ignored it, and then the food was cold and directly asked people to withdraw.

Ning Yunxiao glared at him and sat next to him, Qingzhu brought her a bowl of nutritional products.

Li Yiyan saw that Ning Yunxiao was willing to sit next to him and eat with him, obviously not so angry now, but the expression on his face was still a little unkind.

The previous topic stopped for a while, Ning Yunxiao drank his nutritional products, and quietly watched Li Yiyan eat, with a faint happy smile on his face, but when he thought that the locusts had no food in transit, and he didn't know how many people would be hungry, he suddenly couldn't be happy again.

Sensing his emotional changes, he suddenly looked at Li Yiyan on the side, perhaps because he had been with this person for a long time, and unconsciously contracted some of this person's habits of caring for the people. If it was her previous character, what did the people have to do with her, and whether she could eat or not had nothing to do with her, she would definitely not even bother to look at it.

Reaching out and stroking her slightly bulging belly, she didn't feel any signs of life activity in it, even for the sake of the child, she should accumulate virtue and do good deeds to bless him with a safe life. So think carefully about how to solve this locust thing.

After Li Yiyan was full, he found that Ning Yunxiao was looking at him, his eyes swollen and focused. smiled softly, and secretly swore in her heart that she must solve this matter well, and she couldn't let the rumors of the demon queen fly all over the sky.

After eating, the two of them chatted casually, and no one continued the plan to leave the palace, both sides only had one idea in their hearts, and they were not very mature, so they both thought about waiting to consider the details and tell each other.

The next day, Yu'er rushed in again shouting, shouting, "Oh no, no, no." ”

Qingzhu hurriedly stopped her, covered her mouth, and looked behind her secretly. When Yu'er saw her movements, she immediately stopped talking, and looked behind Qingzhu with her probe.

I saw that Ning Yunxiao's eyes were closed, his expression was a little solemn, and his forehead was slightly wrinkled, as if he had encountered something difficult in a dream.

Qingzhu was relieved to see that Ning Yunxiao did not move and did not wake up, and then glared at Yu'er, who immediately lowered her head with her face on her shoulder, looking like she was waiting to be reprimanded. When she used to serve Ning Yunxiao for a long time, what she was most afraid of was not Ning Yunxiao, but this green bamboo, with a straight face, so terrifying. However, although she was a little afraid, she also knew that the other party was for her own good, and she didn't have much resistance.

Today, it was obviously his own recklessness that almost woke up Ning Yunxiao, but, but...... Today's news is really big......

"Qingzhu, don't be busy reprimanding her first, let's listen to the news she brought today, otherwise this little girl will not be convinced." Behind the two of them, Ning Yunxiao's sober joking voice came, not at all like he had just woken up.

Yu'er suddenly covered her mouth and said, "Did Yu'er wake up Niangniang?" His face was full of remorse, and he only felt that no matter how big the news was, it shouldn't disturb the mother's rest.

Qingzhu glanced at her, and at this time she knew that she was wrong, and she couldn't remember what she had said so many times earlier. However, she didn't think about blaming Yu'er, she had been by Ning Yunxiao's side for so long, she had known what Ning Yunxiao was like when she just woke up, and now she could speak in a joking tone as soon as she opened her eyes, obviously she didn't fall asleep at all. It's normal to have something in your heart and not be able to sleep, so you can't force her, force her to sleep.

"What is it that surprises you so much?" Ning Yunxiao asked lightly, not thinking that it would be anything surprising in his heart.

Yu'er hesitated for a moment, looked at Ning Yunxiao and said, "I said it, don't be excited." I looked at Qingzhu again, I didn't know whether to say it, I didn't know what tone to say, and I didn't know what the consequences would be if I said it.

Qingzhu looked at Yu'er in surprise and asked, "What kind of thing makes you so difficult to speak?" ”

Ning Yunxiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Something to do with me?" ”

Yu'er nodded, glanced at Qingzhu again, and was even more entangled.

"Just say what I do?" Qingzhu also looked at her with a surprised face, not knowing what she was doing like this.

Yu'er coughed a little, decided to say it little by little, coughed again, and then spoke: "Niangniang, you know that the people in Yishangsi are all some little girls, most of them are from poor families, and they are all more or less connected with their families outside the palace. ”

"What are you doing that far?" Qingzhu frowned.

Ning Yunxiao nodded, stopping Qingzhu's scolding, Yu'er can only explain this matter like this, she thinks it is a big deal, and she is afraid that she will not be able to bear it, so she will be so cautious and reveal it little by little. Outside the palace, has something to do with yourself?

"Recently, there has been a locust plague, and everyone says it, everyone says ......" Yu'er saw Qingzhu's urging appearance, and didn't dare to continue to say it little by little.

"You just say it, don't worry, I won't be unbearable." Ning Yunxiao comforted softly.

"They all said that Niangniang was the demon queen to confuse the emperor, causing the harem to have no concubines, and heaven was intolerable, so they sent down heavenly punishment and let the emperor deal with the demon queen." Yu'er closed her eyes and poured out all of her brains.

Qingzhu suddenly looked at Yu'er in surprise, and then looked at Ning Yunxiao worriedly, how could it be, how could the people spread such rumors?

Ning Yunxiao had already sensed that something was wrong from Yu'er's attitude before, so he didn't have any surprise emotions now, he just lowered his head and thought slowly. No wonder Li Yiyan is so busy that she can't even take care of eating, she also said that Li Yiyan loves the people so much, now that she thinks about it, she must want to solve the locust plague as soon as possible, and then justify her name.

sighed lowly, Li Yiyan is always like this, resisting everything alone, not only not letting himself interfere, but not even letting himself know. Didn't he know that he would feel sorry for him too?

"Master?" Qingzhu walked up to Ning Yunxiao worriedly. There has been no superfluous emotion on her face, which makes people guess her current mood.

Ning Yunxiao showed a faint smile, this smile was no different from usual, it was Qingzhu and Yu'er who also relaxed their hearts slightly, but they still looked at Ning Yunxiao with full attention, looking at the expression on her face, for fear that she would be overly sad and cause other bad symptoms, in this way, it would be bad for herself and the child.

"I'm really fine." Ning Yunxiao saw that the two of them were still so worried, so he opened his mouth and said, these two people didn't look at who they were.
