Just staring at the charcoal fire in the stove flickering on and off, the feeling of sleepiness slowly came in.

Li Jingnan in the quilt was very restless, he saw that Hua Qingxue hadn't slept yet, so he pushed her with his elbow, "Hey, tell a story." ”

Hua Qingxue pouted, "Where are there so many stories to tell......

A few days ago, Li Jingnan had a nightmare in the middle of the night, and he didn't dare to fall asleep after waking up, so Hua Qingxue kindly told a story to coax him to sleep, but he didn't expect it to be remembered by him.

"Talk, talk, anything."

With the faint and dim light, Hua Qingxue saw Li Jingnan's dark eyes shining, and her heart slowly softened.

“…… Okay, then I'll talk about one. Hua Qingxue thought about it and said slowly, "However, we won't tell stories today, but you are also a prince, so why don't I tell you about Parkinson's Law." ”

Li Jingnan blinked, lying on Hua Qingxue's side, very well-behaved.

Hua Qingxue recalled the knowledge in her mind and said eloquently: "Parkinson's law, also known as officialdom disease, or tissue paralysis disease, Parkinson's law explains such a phenomenon...... Once incompetent people occupy leadership positions, it is inevitable that there will be a huge and complex organization and too many redundant personnel, and the phenomenon of mediocre people occupying high positions will also be inevitable, and the entire institutional system will form a vicious expansion...... Stuck in a quagmire from which it is difficult to extricate itself......"

As the night grew darker, only the soft whispers of women in the warm and humble hut were women......

……

This night, Hua Qingxue had a very bizarre dream.

She dreamed of Li Jingnan.

Different from the usual swagger in front of her, Li Jingnan in the dream looked weak and helpless, he knelt on the ground, his upper body threw himself in front of a very big bed, and he kept sobbing with his head low.

Hua Qingxue walked over to comfort him, but she shouted several times, but Li Jingnan in the dream didn't seem to hear her voice at all.

Li Jingnan said while crying: "Father, listen to your words, your sons must study hard, and never make Taifu angry again...... Father, you're going to get better......"

Hua Qingxue saw that there was still a person lying on the bed-

It was a middle-aged man with a very haggard face, although he was haggard, his clothes and posture were extremely exquisite, and even the beard on his chin was very elegant.

Since Li Jingnan called his father the emperor, then, he is the emperor of Daqi?

Hua Qingxue looked at him curiously.

The emperor seemed to be very sick and angry, but his expression was very calm, and there was naturally a kind of majesty in his conversation.

“…… I have defended the Great Qi for 14 years, the Liao people in the north are pressing each other step by step, the barbarians in the west are eyeing each other, and there are still Japanese robbers in the east...... However, I am not reconciled! …… Mozhou has been lost, and Panlong Mountain is on the edge of Mozhou, if the Liao people discover the weapon! That's it! …… Ahem! Ahem, ahem, ahem! ……”

"Father, father!" Li Jingnan looked flustered, and he stretched out his little hand to caress the emperor's chest.

The Emperor's cough slowly subsided.

"Father doesn't need to worry, the son will go and find the weapon, and never let the Liao people find the weapon!"

When the emperor heard this, he smiled miserably.

"My son is pure and filial, and I am grateful...... It's just that this matter is not easy, but I am afraid that once it spreads, I will become the laughing stock of the world. I'm not afraid of becoming a laughing stock, I'm only afraid of becoming a sinner for the ages, Jing Nan and my son, you should remember my words - Panlong Mountain has a weapon of the country, if you can't get it, you will destroy it! This sharp weapon must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Liao people! ”

"Yes, my son obeys! ……”

Then, the weakened emperor said something intermittently, and Li Jingnan nodded while shedding tears.

Hua Qingxue looked at this scene, feeling quite uncomfortable, she knew that the emperor was confessing his last words, and Xiao Jingnan must have known it in her heart......

After the emperor on the bed finished speaking, his momentum suddenly weakened a lot, and his eyelids fell heavily.

Li Jingnan was still crying beside the bed, a sad and dignified atmosphere filled the surroundings, and Hua Qingxue's mood became heavy.

But suddenly! The Emperor's eyes opened!

He looked straight at Hua Qingxue, and the light in his eyes shone brightly! The pupils dilate!

Hua Qingxue was taken aback by the emperor! I just feel that those eyes have to see through themselves! I was shocked!

Wow! ——

Hua Qingxue opened her eyes, she saw the hazy dawn through the crack in the window, her mood relaxed, and she slowly sat up.

Li Jingnan next to her was sleeping soundly, Hua Qingxue didn't want to wake him up, she felt that it was very important for children of this age to sleep, both tall and brainy.

Hua Qingxue got up and turned the stove up a little brighter, added charcoal to it, and then picked up the clothes in the wooden basin and walked out lightly.

It snowed for half a night last night, and now a thick layer has fallen in the yard, reflecting the morning sun, bright and dazzling.

Hua Qingxue's mood was much more relaxed because of the sunny day, and when the weather was good, her clothes could dry faster.

The red and swollen hand had cracked a few times, and it was itchy and painful to touch.

Hua Qingxue had no time to take care of it, she was drying her clothes while thinking about what happened to her during this time.

- As a person who has lost his memory, it is impossible to say that he is not curious about his identity.

When Li Jingnan found her, she passed out on the mountain road, wearing only a half-sleeved skirt, which was so thin that it was not like words.

Dressed like this, running into the deep mountains and old forests in the cold winter is obviously sending him to death.

But she didn't remember why she got into the mountain, or how she got there.

In the past month, she has recovered her body, and she has also recalled a lot of things intermittently, but most of them are vague outlines and not clear enough.

The only thing she was sure of was that the place she had stayed in before was definitely not what it was now.

There, at least, when she explains the principle of a simple chemical reaction, it doesn't take for gibberish.

Maybe I'll have a little more memories later......

A little more...... You'll know what's going on......

……

The weather is good today, Hua Qingxue doesn't have to waste time baking clothes, she plans to go out and try her luck.

Before she knew when someone would come to rescue them, she had to find a way to support herself, as well as the eight-year-old Crown Prince.

Hua Qingxue finished drying all her clothes, cooked a pot of porridge in the house, and then told Li Jingnan about her plans.

It is obviously not possible to sit on the mountain and eat empty, and everything needs money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, especially now that the weather is cold and cold, it is most likely to get sick, and it takes money to see a doctor and take medicine.

In short, the reality before their eyes is: money, money, money!

The laundry job will definitely not last long, and she will go out and try to find something else to do.

Li Jingnan listened and wrinkled his face, "But your accent is very strange......"

He was worried that Hua Qingxue would arouse the suspicion of the Liao people.

Hua Qingxue shrugged, "It's better than you going out, you can only pretend to be dumb when you go out." ”

Li Jingnan spoke pure Daqi official dialect, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was from Shengjing.

As soon as Hua Qingxue said this, Li Jingnan was not easy to object.

He drooped his head and said in a sullen tone: "Then you can go......

The little guy seems to be a little awkward.

Hua Qingxue had long been accustomed to his tsundere, and said with a smile: "I'll come back early." ”

She imitated the women here, reluctantly pulled her hair, wrapped a headscarf, and dressed in gray old clothes like an ordinary village woman.

With the reflection of the water in the wooden basin, Hua Qingxue was sure that her appearance would not attract anyone's attention, so she left the house.

When she got to the street, Hua Qingxue went directly to Fengle Building.

Because of laundry before, she met Aunt Yan, the cook of Fengle Building, and Aunt Yan heard that Hua Qingxue would settle accounts, so she enthusiastically told her that she was looking for a helper who could settle accounts in the shop recently.

Hua Qingxue came today to meet the shopkeeper.

It's not time to eat, there is no one in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper is counting the accounts by the desk.

Hua Qingxue walked over and asked softly, "Hello, I heard that there is a recent recruitment of helpers here......

"Not anymore." The shopkeeper didn't raise his head, and directly refused.

Hua Qingxue was stunned, "Don't recruit anymore?" …… Shopkeeper, I will write and settle accounts, if you don't believe me, you can test me. ”

The shopkeeper sighed and waved his hand, "Little girl, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm really good for the girl, you can't do this helper's work." ”

Hua Qingxue became more and more puzzled.

Good for her? Where does this start......

The shopkeeper ignored her anymore, glanced out, shook his head and sighed, "Alas...... The way of the world today ......"

Hua Qingxue also looked outside, and saw two Liao soldiers patrolling the street forcibly pulling a girl, and a white-haired old man behind him begged bitterly.

The girl was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with no expression on her face, and her eyes were so frightened that she could not even scream. She had an obvious slap mark on her face, like a lifeless puppet dragged forward by Liao Bing.

The white-haired old man pulled with the Liao soldiers and was pushed down by one of them, when a young strong man came out of the street, he helped up the fallen old man, but was stabbed through the stomach by the Liao soldiers from behind!

Blood splashed the old man's face, and when Liao Bing drew his sword, some white, white, red and red things fell out of the man's body-

The old man immediately convulsed with fright, and the two Liao soldiers shouted and cursed on the street for a while, and when they saw that no one dared to speak out on the street, they dragged the girl away with their might.

The whole street, quiet as a cemetery.

Hua Qingxue watched the whole process with bated breath......

She bit her lower lip, trying to keep her body from shaking too much.

She knew what she was seeing! She also knew she couldn't do anything! Her whole head was wooden, as if she had been hammered hard by something!

Her cognition, put in this world, is simply a joke!

What laws, what human rights, these are all jokes!

But why, why did God let her be here?

- This is not her world!

A hand holding a handkerchief stretched out, and Hua Qingxue looked over in a daze.

The shopkeeper stuffed the handkerchief into her hand, "Don't cry, go back quickly, and go out less in the future, I will let Rongsheng go to get clothes." ”

Did she cry?

Hua Qingxue wiped her face, and sure enough, it was wet, she wanted to smile at the shopkeeper in thanks, but she couldn't, she thought that her expression must be ugly at the moment......
