"Lord Hong is quick with his hands and feet. Xiao Xinrong came back and saw a pile of silver tickets, and was satisfied: "The other people must already know about it, and the king of Japan will invite them to come to a gathering when these few days." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Xinrong to invite someone, the merchants who heard the news came to the palace one after another to build homes for the victims of the disaster, and successively collected the silver, and made up nearly 500,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Zhilan has been hovering outside the palace gate for several days, and has been asking to see Xiahou Shuang, but unfortunately she didn't even enter the door.

"Please, let me meet the princess, I really have something important. Zhou Zhilan has been saying the same thing for a few days, and the guards at the door have not moved.

Zhou Zhilan has now given up her face, and only wants to find the princess to intercede to rescue her father, since her father was put in prison, her mother fell ill directly in bed, and now it is difficult to even go to the ground.

Zhou Zhilan, who begged for help everywhere and had no way, now has the only hope of begging for the princess, so that the prince can raise his noble hand, even if he removes his father's position, as long as people come out safely, it is good, but it is a pity that no matter how he begs, the guards at the door let himself in without spitting.

"Princess, that Miss Zhou is still kneeling at the door, I'm afraid the people will discuss it if it goes on like this. Green Lake said with some concern.

"What are you afraid of, she just kneels if she wants to, now who doesn't know that Lord Zhou is greedy and bent the law to make the river dam burst, and the people are homeless, this account has not been settled with them!" Chunya has been accompanying Xiahou Shuang to open a porridge shed for the past few days, and when she thought of the children who followed the refugees, Chunya felt pitiful, and couldn't help but say angrily.

"The princess really doesn't plan to meet this Miss Zhou, after all, it's strange and pitiful for an official lady to reach this point. Green Lake ignored Chunya's words and said to Xiahou Shuang.

"Well, bring people in, there has to be a conclusion to this matter. Xiahou Shuang commanded lightly.

As soon as Green Lake saw that the princess was willing to see Miss Zhou, he hurriedly responded happily and went out to call someone.

"Fools, everyone sympathizes. After she left, Chunya couldn't help but scold.

"Princess, please let my father go, our Zhou family is willing to give all the family property to offset the mistake made by my father this time!" Zhou Zhilan entered the house and knelt on the ground with a few knocks and begged.

"Do you know how wrong your father was?" asked Xiahou Shuang rhetorically.

"I know that my father caused a loophole in the construction of the levee because of corruption, and this is the Yum people who suffered from the flooding. ”

"What you said is too understatement, because your father was greedy for white money, causing hundreds of thousands of innocent people downstream to lose their homes and even the lives of their relatives. ”

"Do you think that just by crying a few words here with this princess, this princess will be able to open her mouth to ask the prince to release her! Miss Zhou, you are so naïve!"

"I just want you to enter the mansion today to tell you that your father has violated the law of the country and should be severely punished, no matter who pleads for mercy, it will be in vain, Miss Zhou, go back!"

Zhou Zhilan raised her head to look at Xiahou Shuang at this time, and saw that the woman in front of her was wearing a brocade narrow-sleeved blouse, with a skirt folded into twelve folds, and the skirt was embroidered with large peony flowers.

The woman in front of her was wearing delicate makeup, completely losing the affinity that came to the house in the past, but revealing a stunning color.

This must be the original face of Princess Alcohol, seeing that she is as low as an ant, and her father's life is still in the hands of the princess, it is ridiculous that she still wants to fight with her.

Zhou Zhilan thought through in her heart, and she couldn't help but say: "Isn't it because I love the prince that the princess killed our Zhou family?

"Bold, you dare to speak to the princess like this, I think you are impatient!" Chunya couldn't help but scold.

Hearing this, Xiahou Shuang smiled instead, waved her hand to make Chunya retreat, and said slowly: "Miss Zhou, I see that you are a woman from an official family to take pity on you, and it turns out that you are not worthy of my pity when you talk." ”

"Do you know that your thoughts about the prince are just wishful thinking, the prince has made an oath that there will only be this princess by his side in this life, as for other women, in his opinion, it is just that, when the queen mother in Kyoto forced the prince to take a concubine, the prince did not agree, who do you think you are, you can enter the eyes of the prince!"

"You also deserve to say these things to me, I think Miss Zhou is stunned?"

"That's it, for the sake of your father's bad mood when you are in prison, this princess will let you go today, if it is disrespectful, then the princess will not be polite!"

Zhou Zhilan left in despair, thinking that there was no hope of saving her father, and even the little extravagant hope for the prince in her heart was ruthlessly crushed by the princess, and a sense of shame and grief filled her heart, making Zhou Zhilan want to die immediately, but when she thought of her mother, who was full of expectations and looking forward to her return, Zhou Zhilan had to endure her grief and anger and cheer up and leave the palace.

"The princess just let her go?" Chunya looked at Zhou Zhilan's back and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I actually dare to have bad intentions towards the prince, and I also spoke against the princess, I think it is light to let her hit fifty boards." ”

"These people don't need our help, the taste of falling from the clouds into the mire has made her uncomfortable, let her go. Xiahou Shuang didn't care.

"Princess, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, blame slaves and maids for not being able to recognize people clearly, which makes the princess angry. Green Lake knelt down uneasily and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, your eye sees that this princess is angry?" Xiahou Shuang shook his head.

"Please also ask the princess to punish her, otherwise the slave and maid will be uneasy. "Green Lake can't get up alive, just waiting for Xiahou Shuang's punishment.

"In this case, I will punish you to go to the refugee camp in the south of the city tomorrow to give porridge, and if you do this well, you will offset your mistakes today. How?"

"Thank you princess, thank you princess, the slave will definitely do a good job, and will not disgrace the princess. Green Lake kowtowed a few times.

"Get up, go to the kitchen and get some food first, this princess is hungry. ”

When Green Lake heard Xiahou Shuang's words, he understood that the princess was really not angry with herself, so she immediately got up and happily exited the door to prepare a meal.
