Chapter 282: Make Up Your Mind
This posture of a completely superior person has an overwhelming momentum of absoluteness.
Su Xiao was in a weak position for a while, but the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and his eyes stared at the person in front of him.
"Hmph, what's the matter, just so angry, isn't it good to follow Lone? Loneliness will not do you any harm."
Eh, hehe, it's really confusing, Su Xiao doesn't eat this set at all.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is really good, but you don't like me at all, I'm afraid you want to control me and contain the five princes!"
Su Xiao's eyes were full of determination, and he pulled at the tightened neckline, "If Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince really thinks so, I don't think your dream will come true, I'm just an ordinary woman, and the Fifth Prince won't take care of my life!"
"Are you so sure that Lone detained you for the sake of the fifth brother? Huh?"
Zhao Zhaowu suddenly approached a few points, with a cold smile on his face, and his eyes scraped down for a moment.
The slender palm raised his hand to attach Su Xiao's white face, but Su Xiao dodged away.
"This dress really flatters you, it looks so good."
Su Xiao glared at him twice, "The affairs of men and women are about your affection and my willingness, and the twisted melon is not sweet, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not understand this truth."
Zhao Zhaowu didn't care at all, and turned back faintly.
"In my case, I never care if others want it or not, only whether I want it or not."
"Me."
"Okay, Lone still has something to do today, you can go back first, if you want to go out, let the palace guards follow, don't go out alone, it's not safe outside."
Su Xiao's words were all blocked in his throat, and he glared at the people on the stage with hatred for a while, turned around and walked out.
As soon as he returned to the room, a group of guards surrounded him, "Miss Su, we are sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect your safety."
Su Xiao looked at the big group of people in front of him, and for a moment he only felt that his brain was pounding suddenly.
What kind of person was sent to protect her, it was clearly sent to spy on her.
"Wow, you actually sent someone to watch me, so how can I let you come in vain."
Su Xiao rolled his eyes, raised his legs and walked outside, and the group of guards behind him immediately followed.
"What are so many of you doing with me? I'm a weak woman, can I still run under your noses?"
Now that she is famous in the emperor, she naturally doesn't dare to leave easily, but it is too cumbersome and embarrassing to follow such a group of people on the street.
"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told us all to follow you."
Oh my God! Could it be that she tested her skills and deliberately found such a group of people, she was really speechless!
Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Then I'm going to the palace, do you also want to go with you?"
"We're waiting outside for Miss Su."
It's really dutiful, Su Xiao finally compromised and pouted helplessly.
Su Xiao took off all the hairpins on his head, only put on a simple sandalwood hairpin, and went out on the street in a chic manner.
On Chang'an Street, there is a bustling scene, and the sound of selling is endless.
Since I came to the capital, I have been restricted everywhere, and I haven't been able to take a good walk on the street.
Su Xiao was full of energy, and he wandered around the snack bar for a long time, buying a lot of food, and after a while, the guards behind him had already brought a lot of food in their hands.
"Why, you're tired, if you're tired, just go back first, and I'll do it myself."
"I, we're not tired."
Su Xiao raised her eyebrows, since this is the case, she doesn't have to be polite.
Su Xiao turned to dusk for a while, and ate all the delicious food on Chang'an Street, inside and out.
After eating and drinking, it's time to go home.
Su Xiao put his hands behind his back, but he saw a pair of mother and son kneeling on the ground begging at the corner of the street.
The mother was covered in coarse cloth clothes, but she only hugged the child in her arms, and handed the only remaining steamed bun in her hand to the child
。
"Xiaoshan, you eat, you eat quickly, this is what my mother found for you!"
Su Xiao looked at the food in his hand, and a strong sense of guilt surged for a while, and he handed over the food in his hand.
"Auntie, eat these."
"Thank you, thank you." The woman trembled and took the food, stuffed it into the child's hand, thanked her constantly, and two tears fell from her eyes.
Su Xiao looked very sad for a while.
"Auntie, where are you from? How did you get to such a point, your family?"
"We fled from Shanxi, where there was a three-year drought, there was no harvest, the people in the family were starved to death, the food was reduced, everyone was fighting for wild things, and there was a plague, and I begged along the road to save the lives of our mother and son."
Hearing this, Su Xiao's pupils were shocked, "There has been a three-year drought in Shanxi, and there is still a plague, don't the officials in that place care? Even if he can't control it, why don't you report it, and why doesn't the court allocate two taels of silver to you!"
The mother and son were stained all over their bodies, and their lips were covered with dead skin from the thirst of the past few days.
"Hey, the officials reported it to the imperial court at that time, but it was the emperor's draft at that time, and they didn't have time to take care of us, so we had to do that."
It's ridiculous! Su Xiao was suffocated by this reason.
There is trouble in the world, as the king of a country, there is still leisure to go to the draft girl, it is in vain!
"After the matter of the draft girl has passed, after such a long period of drought, and there is a plague, and so many people have died, hasn't the court noticed?"
"In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shenwu fought for us in the imperial court, but that year coincided with His Royal Highness the Prince's expedition, and there was no news of this matter, and we don't know what is going on?"
The child in his arms was still crying "wow", Su Xiao sank his eyes, turned around and took all the food behind him, and handed over the money bag on his body to the woman.
"Take these, and find a place to live with your children."
"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva." The woman was moved to tears.
"Don't thank me, I can only help you get here."
Seeing such a show, Su Xiao had no intention of shopping at all, and went straight back to the East Palace.
In the silent temple, the woman's words kept echoing in her head.
"The emperor's draft, he doesn't care about us at all, we, there is a plague in Shanxi, His Royal Highness the Prince, Shenwu is wise!"
With a constant buzz in his ears, Su Xiao raised his eyes, his heart sank suddenly, and he walked out of the room in a few steps.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have something I want to discuss with you!"
On a moonlit night, Su Xiao stood alone outside the dormitory in the inner hall, full of determination.
Inside, Zhao Zhaowu didn't sleep at all, this hall was too big, too empty, as if there were countless people lurking in the dark, so that people couldn't sleep at all.
