Chapter 138: The Medicine of the Tiger and Wolf
"Stockpiling, stockpiling grain?" Li Baojia was stunned in place, this, is this what she thinks?
Zhao Yi lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly: "It's a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people of Quzhou cannibalize people, this is not just a poem, but a fact." β
Li Baojia's face turned white, she had never been exposed to such a terrifying thing, people...... Will it also eat people?
Zhao Yi saw that she was frightened, paused and said: "The more you go inside, the more so, if you want to go back now, there is still a chance." β
He didn't mean to scare her by saying this, but he knew that she had always been naΓ―ve, and he didn't want her to trust others easily and get hurt here.
After all, the people here ......
Li Baojia shook his head and said: "I won't go back, when the drought here is over, these people will be able to eat enough, aren't we here for this?" β
Zhao Yi didn't speak again, Rumo's eyes looked at her, she blinked and looked at her, her eyes were very round, like a certain kind of small animal, and her eyes were moist, as if she could see his reflection.
Zhao Yi looked at him with an innocent appearance, suppressed the evil fire in his heart, and a gentle smile came up on his face.
Since the last time she said that she wanted to marry Huang Yunqing, his heart was like a fire, and he often had a desire to tear everything apart, and he knew that his illness might be going to happen again.
Now these illnesses are not obvious, since Li Baojia's death in his previous life, his illness is like a sudden outbreak has arrived, and when it is serious, he is delirious and can't recognize anyone, like a monster who can only kill.
This headache often tormented him, again and again, he used to be in pain and couldn't sleep all night, all night in his mind was Li Baojia's figure, only thinking about this, he would feel better.
In his previous life, he asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some tiger and wolf medicine to suppress him, but this method treated the symptoms but not the root cause, and it was extremely damaging to the body, so he was buried with Li Baojia after reigning for more than ten years.
The imperial doctor once told him that if he could control his illness and stay awake from the disease, then he would not need to drink medicine, and he would be physically harmed, but he would suffer some mental torture.
Ever since the moment he had come back from birth and seen her again, he had felt more relaxed than ever, the headache and this tyrannical mood had not been seen for a long time.
Until the day before yesterday, when she said that she was going to leave him to marry, he knew that he would not succeed under his interference, but he still couldn't stop the dark thoughts in his heart and the increasingly unbearable tyrannical atmosphere.
But he was afraid that he would scare her, that time...... It had already frightened her, and this time he could only endure it all the time, pretending to be calm and light, pretending that these things had not happened a few days ago.
She is like a timid rabbit who will retract herself at the slightest fright.
He set a deadline for her and himself, and before returning to the capital this time, if she still insisted on escaping from him, she would be tied to him, even if it was tied up.
A little gloom flashed in his eyes, although he had known about the Huang family for a long time, as long as he thought that someone was thinking about her in his heart, he would also treat the maid as if she had done that kind of thing...... If it weren't for the fear of making Li Baojia angry, he would definitely not let him go like this, and it would not be an exaggeration.
Li Baojia didn't know these twists and turns in his heart at all, but his mood was also low, thinking that she still hadn't forgotten those pictures just now.
She asked, "Your Highness, with so many victims along the way, didn't the imperial court send disaster relief money down to distribute food to them?" β
Zhao Yi said: "It has been distributed several times, but there are too many people, and the surrounding cities have also been affected in recent years, so they must be protected first." β
What he didn't say was that it was estimated that a lot of the silver in front of him had gone into the bags of these corrupt officials in Jingzhou, so it was clear that enough disaster relief silver had been distributed, and after layers of exploitation, it was not enough to get into the hands of the people.
After walking for a day and a night, they arrived at a post station in the middle of the road, Zhao Yi ordered to rest here for a night, Li Baojia also got out of the carriage, Zhao Yi said: "First stay here for one night, eat something, you have eaten dry food all day today." β
Li Baojia nodded, the dry food was full, but it was not very delicious, but thinking of the refugees outside who couldn't even eat dry food, she felt that wasting a bite of bread was a great crime.
I had to eat it one bite at a time, otherwise where would she normally eat such a rough thing.
She walked in, Zhao Yi went to the front to talk to Xia Rin and Lord Wang, Li Baojia took Xiao Tao and Lu Yi to go inside, and when she was about to go in, she saw a child running to the left with something in her arms and not knowing something, and two people were chasing after her.
She had already stepped in with one foot, and she was a little hesitant and worried: "Go and see, what's going on?" β
As soon as I went to the left, I saw the dead end, and the two people blocked the little girl holding something at the mouth of the alley, and Luyi shouted, "What are you doing? β
As soon as the two men turned their heads, they saw Li Baojia and a large group of people, and ran directly over the wall, but the child kept shrinking in place, she kept scratching the other arm with one hand, and the arm was full of blood and did not stop.
Li Baojia frowned, tried his best to soften his voice and said, "Little girl, you ......"
She wanted to ask her what was wrong, but the child suddenly looked up at her, rushed over and hit her, his fingernails scratching the back of her delicate hand, making a bloody streak, and then tried to rush out, but was soon caught by several soldiers.
They looked at the children who were struggling fiercely in their hands, and they didn't know what to do for a while, like Li Baojia asked: "Miss Li......"
Li Baojia waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's okay, it's just a child, since she's fine, let her go." β
Xiao Tao next to him glared at the child fiercely, and said to Li Baojia: "Miss, she just injured you......"
Miss just saved her, who knew that she was such a white-eyed wolf, and she came over and injured Miss, just now she was clearly not careless.
Li Baojia stretched out her hand, and Lu Yi was gently treating the wound for her, which was not very deep, like a cat scratch, and the bleeding quickly stopped.
She originally thought she was in trouble, so she wanted to come and take a look, but now she is fine, although she accidentally injured her, but it is not a big deal: "It's okay, it's just a small wound, let her go." β
The two soldiers who grabbed her glanced at each other, but still let her go, and the little girl was not in a hurry to leave after she regained her freedom, but just turned her head and glanced at Li Baojia deeply, her eyes were very complicated.
Li Baojia also looked at her, and the child said sorry and slipped away quickly.
Green next to her glanced in the direction she had left, and frowned a little uneasily.
