In the front hall on the first floor of Wangshu Pavilion, Zhan Xinglan's foot wrapped like a radish was particularly conspicuous.

Wen Renzhuo knew the etiquette of the Central Plains, so he was not too embarrassed to keep staring at Zhan Xinglan's jade feet.

"Xinglan, what's wrong with your foot?"

"I accidentally stepped on the porcelain piece and bleed a little, so it's out of the way."

Zhan Xinglan smiled at him.

"I was thinking of asking you to drink with me, but now it seems that it can't be done."

It was difficult to hide his loss and worry between his eyebrows, but he didn't want Zhan Xinglan to notice his sadness, so he squeezed out a sunny smile.

"By the way, I know you love to eat the delicacies of the laughing spring breeze, so I bought some for you."

As he spoke, he picked up the food box on the floor and took out a number of delicate dishes from it.

What Zhan Xinglan misses most in Shunhua Prison is the delicacy of the laughing spring breeze, but she didn't expect Wen Renzhuo to know her so well.

She feasted on it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise when she looked at her bulging cheeks.

On the other hand, He Fuyan came out of Shunhua Prison, but did not go back to the Anguo Mansion directly, but ordered the carriage to go to the East Palace.

Outside the East Palace, the prince's close guards looked embarrassed.

"He Niangzi, it is really inconvenient for His Royal Highness to meet guests, please go back."

How could He Fuyan give up and still not give up, "Cousin, doesn't he just want to see the lady of the Zhan family, and doesn't want to see me?" ”

She thought in her heart that she was the crown princess appointed by the queen, and the prince could not disobey the queen's will, so she would definitely see her.

The truth is exactly what Fu Yan expected.

After a while, the gate of the East Palace opened.

A small yellow door hurriedly ran out, whispered a few words in the ear of the guard, and then stepped aside.

After hearing this, the guard arched his hand and said, "He Niangzi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited." ”

The corners of He Fuyan's mouth immediately showed a triumphant smile, and then she walked into the East Palace with arrogance.

After the little yellow gate led He Fuyan to the Mingde Palace, he retreated.

"Cousin, long time no see."

He Fuyan looked at Fu Tingxuan timidly, but Fu Tingxuan kept holding the book with his back to her.

"Cousin, for the past three months, Fu'er has been missing you very much, and I finally saw you today."

Fu Tingxuan threw the book on the table and slowly turned around.

"Did the Queen Mother ask you to come?"

His expression looked very bad, as if he was very disgusted by He Fuyan's arrival.

He Fuyan didn't care about his attitude, "I just came out of Shunhua Prison, and I haven't asked my aunt for peace yet, so it's better for my cousin to go to the Lizheng Palace with me to say hello to my aunt." ”

"No need, if Fu'er wants to go, just go by herself."

Fu Tingxuan's tone was not good, he turned around and walked to the golden chair behind the table, looking through the roster of officials who were coerced by King Qi.

He Fuyan pursed her mouth, but quickly smiled coquettishly: "Fu'er came to find her cousin on a special trip, and Fu'er still wants to accompany her cousin again." ”

Fu Tingxuan looked at the roster and was angry, closed the roster with a heavy palm, and the palm of his hand shook the table with a loud noise.

"Fu'er, this palace only treats you with brother and sister friendship, if you still have other thoughts, it's better to stop thinking as soon as possible."

Fu Tingxuan's words were like a boulder pressing on He Fuyan's heart.

She knew that the queen had always taken the crown prince too closely, so much so that he was particularly repulsive to the queen appointing the crown princess for him.

However, the prince still had to listen to the queen obediently in the end, and now he was just quick to speak.

"Fu'er just wants to come to see her cousin, if her cousin doesn't like it, Fu'er won't come in the future."

He Fuyan pretended to be angry, but in fact she wanted to get away with it.

As soon as she turned around, Fu Tingxuan stopped her.

"Fu'er!"

He Fuyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then said angrily: "Does my cousin still want to admonish Fu'er for anything?" ”

When the peach-colored scandal between Fu Tingxuan and Zhan Xinglan and Xi Li'er was spreading, He Fuyan knew that there was a leg between Fu Tingxuan and Xi Li'er.

After getting along for half a month, she found that Xi Li'er's biggest characteristic is that she can pretend to be weak and lovable.

Fu Tingxuan must like this.

As long as she is also weaker, she is not afraid that Fu Tingxuan will not be moved.

Sure enough, Fu Tingxuan saw that He Fuyan's demeanor and words were much softer, and his tone became gentler.

"Hongu has been in a bad mood lately, and Fu'er should be angry. Fu'er has just come out of Shunhua Prison, so it's better to go back to An Guogong's mansion first, don't let An Guogong worry about you. ”

"So, Fu'er went back first."

He Fuyan turned her head slightly, bowed slightly towards Fu Tingxuan, and then left.

Fu Tingxuan ordered someone to close the door of the Mingde Palace, and opened the roster again to take a closer look.

He never dreamed that King Qi would be able to come up with such a bad way to control the ministers of the court, and on weekdays, King Qi was disrespectful to him, and now he was still kicking his nose in the face.

It seems that it will not work if you don't get rid of King Qi!

At this time, Fu Xuanlin, who was thousands of miles away, had already rushed to Bozhou.

Since entering Hebei Province, I have seen many emaciated and thinly clothed homeless people along the way.

They wrapped their tattered clothes tightly, and some of them held the dying baby tightly in their arms, and the child who could not stand still in their hands walked forward with a sluggish expression.

The child saw Fu Xuanlin's team from a distance, and his eyes were full of hope.

"Ah Niang, look, there are big officials from the imperial court here."

When the child's mother heard this, she quickly covered the child's mouth in panic.

"Shut up! Don't look and talk! ”

The homeless people on the side of the road looked at Fu Xuanlin's army when they heard the sound, and immediately hid far away on both sides of the road, and some people didn't even care about the cold snow on the side of the road, so they buried their feet in it.

Bai Limo couldn't help but wonder when he looked at them with such a frightened look.

"Lord Wang, when ordinary people see the court officials coming to help the disaster, shouldn't they come forward to support them? Why is it that the people here see us as if they were seeing thugs and bandits? ”

Fu Xuanlin sat on the horse and frowned, and sighed, "The people are naturally disheartened when they see the officials being violent. ”

"Lord Wang, should we distribute the grain?"

"Well, just ask what kind of virtues the officials in Bozhou have on weekdays."

"Yes."

Baili Mo ordered the people to take out the prepared grain and distribute it to the displaced people with several soldiers.

The homeless people instinctively wanted to hide, but they were so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and finally they trembled and picked up the food and devoured it.

Baili Mo picked up the steamed bun and walked towards the mother and daughter.

The woman subconsciously protected the child behind her, and her eyes were dodgy, not daring to look at Bailimo.

Seeing her resisting like this, Baili Mo squatted down and said to the child, "Little sister, give it." ”

The child wanted to reach out and take it, but the woman hit the back of his hand hard, and the child could only swallow his saliva, pouting and putting his hand behind his back.

The woman said vigilantly: "Master Jun, we are not hungry, thank you." ”

Baili Mo saw that the woman was in rags, and her speech was weak, and she didn't look like she was not hungry at all.

He was about to speak, but saw Fu Xuanlin coming from the snow.

The woman saw Fu Xuanlin, who was slender and jade, with a face like cold iron, coming over, and was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

Fu Xuanlin saw that she was very resistant, so he stopped.

"Don't be afraid, lady, I am the king of Chaoling."

He took the steamed bun in Bailimo's hand and broke a small piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"These steamed buns are all food I prepared earlier, and they are absolutely non-toxic."

The woman looked at Fu Xuanlin suspiciously, and when she saw him swallowing, she gradually let down her guard.

Fu Xuanlin stretched out the incomplete steamed bun to the woman again.

This time, the woman took the steamed bun.

"Thank you."

The woman took the steamed bun and gave it to the child, but the child broke the steamed bun in half and gave half of it to the woman.

"A-Niang eats it too."

The child's cold purple and chapped lips pulled out a smile, and the dirty face did not hide her cuteness.

The woman took half of the steamed bun with slightly red eyes and ate it in small bites.

"I don't know what to call the lady?"

"My surname is Lin."

"Mrs. Lin seems to be very afraid of people in official uniforms, why is this?"

Although Fu Xuanlin guessed the reason, he still wanted to ask clearly.

"The people are people, but the officials don't treat the people as people, such officials are jackals, tigers and leopards, of course we will be afraid."

"I'm here to eliminate harm for the people, if Mrs. Lin can trust me, why don't you tell me how this jackal, tiger and leopard does evil."

Lin Niangzi raised her drooping eyelids, and her eyes became resentful.

The sky was getting dark, and Fu Xuanlin ordered the soldiers to set up a fire for the homeless people in a cave not far away.

Spring comes late here, and the weather is still cold.

The homeless people are thin and thin, and if they go forward in the cold night, they don't know how many more corpses will be on the road tomorrow.

Fu Xuanlin built a simple stone gate with his own hands to block the cold wind outside the cave.

Although it was not very tight, it also made the cave a lot warmer.

The homeless people snuggled up to each other and huddled in a corner of the cave.

Fu Xuanlin ordered the soldiers to take out the bedding of the army and cover it for the homeless.

The homeless people looked at Fu Xuanlin gratefully, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Ling!" ”

"This is what this king should do, and you don't need to thank you. This king has something to ask, the imperial court has allocated a batch of disaster relief grain at the end of the year, why do you still want to move your family out of Bozhou? ”

At this time, an elderly man said in a hoarse voice: "That little relief food is not enough to feed the stomach, and each family can only get a bowl of rice, even if they save food, they can't last a few days." ”

Fu Xuanlin was puzzled.

The imperial court gave 60,000 stone of grain to each of the two prefectures of Bocang, how could there be only one bowl of rice when this grain was distributed to the people.

Fu Xuanlin turned to look at Lin Niangzi.

"Lin Niangzi, what about you?"

Who knew that Lin Niangzi hugged the child tightly and sobbed: "My man was originally a family member of Du Changshi's family in Bozhou, but the day before the disaster relief food came down, Du Changshi asked people to send my man's body back to the house, saying that he accidentally fell down when pruning the branches and died on the spot." ”

Fu Xuanlin frowned, "There is such a thing, can it be done for an autopsy?" ”

Lin Niangzi shook her head, "Du Changshi said that when my man died, someone witnessed it with his own eyes, so there was no need for an autopsy." But when I looked closely, there was no sign of a fall on his body, but his lips were bruised, as if he had died of poisoning. ”
