Sure enough, after the news of the porridge distribution spread, soon all the refugees in the jurisdiction knew about it.
After all, at this time, the most important thing is to solve the problem of food and clothing. Moreover, some of them have been hungry for many days, so they naturally couldn't wait to make trouble.
Zhang Xiao was forced to give out porridge under pressure.
Xiao Shengheng called over the secret guard again, "Black Seven."
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Can you go check out the flood site and see what the situation is like there?"
This disaster is not just because of the current riots. If the dam is not repaired, it will have a huge impact on the people in the future.
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Heiqi disappeared from their sight.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Su Lijin didn't ask the reason and followed Xiao Shengheng.
But she didn't expect to go hiking.
It has to be said that the mountain roads here are a bit steep. Even though Su Lijin had practiced martial arts before, it was still a bit difficult for her to walk on these roads.
Xiao Shengheng, who was walking in front of her, noticed that Su Lijin was walking a little slowly, so he turned around and asked.
"How's it going? Do you need a little rest?"
Before they knew it, they had both climbed halfway up the mountain, but it was getting late, and if they slowed down, they would probably waste a lot of time.
Su Lijin waved her hand: "No need to rest, I can still hold on."
"Then let's go."
However, during the subsequent climbing process, Xiao Shengheng deliberately slowed down his pace.
When they reached the top of the mountain, he stretched out his hand, but Su Lijin did not use his power to reach the top.
The mountain was not particularly high, but it still took them some time to climb up.
The two of them stood on the top of the mountain, and Su Lijin finally spoke up, "Why did we come here?"
Xiao Shengheng did not answer her question, but spoke out loud.
"Please sit down first."
Having said that, he sat down on the ground.
Su Lijin, who was standing next to him, also sat down. Although she felt a little strange, she still did as he said.
Xiao Shengheng first looked into the distance, then fixed his gaze on Su Lijin, and then he slowly spoke.
"I once loved a woman."
As he spoke, Xiao Shengheng began to recall the first time the two of them met.
He was only ten years old at that time, and he didn't have many opportunities to go out.
That time he was in a bad mood and sneaked out of the palace. Looking at the bustling streets, he was also infected by the lively atmosphere and his mood gradually improved. At this moment, a little girl stepped on his foot.
After being attracted by the little girl's behavior, Xiao Shengxing saw her eyes full of apology. She looked at him and apologized sincerely.
And that girl was Su Lijin.
After that, the two became good friends, often played together, and gradually became familiar with each other.
However, Su Lijin seemed to have forgotten all of this, and only Xiao Shengheng remembered it. Actually, this is a good thing.
Su Lijin, who was sitting next to him, felt a little uncomfortable when she heard what Xiao Shengheng said. She didn't expect that Xiao Shengheng still liked someone in his heart.
In fact, at this time she did not realize that the person in her heart had already changed.
She curled her lips under the mask and said, "If you like her, then go after her. I never knew you were such a love-struck person."
She also encouraged Xiao Shengheng to pursue her.
Hearing this, Xiao Shengheng lowered his head: "I wanted to chase her too, but I broke my promise."
At this point, he paused for a moment and continued, "I promised her that we would be together for the rest of our lives."
Yes, he had promised him at that time. The two of them were too naive at that time, but now, he has broken his promise.
After hearing what Xiao Shengheng said, Su Lijin secretly complained in her heart.
As an emperor, he has three thousand beauties in his harem. How could he be single for life? I don’t know which girl is so stupid to believe this. No, to be more precise, you shouldn’t believe what men say.
Anyone who can say these things is a liar and cannot be trusted at all.
"Since you're willing to break your promise, you shouldn't have made it to her in the first place. Otherwise, she'll be sad."
Su Lijin was really confused. Xiao Shengheng was born into an imperial family, so why would he say such things?
"You're right, I shouldn't have promised her at that time." Xiao Shengheng felt a little bitter in his heart.
"Actually, I'm also quite curious, who is that woman?" Su Lijin glanced at Xiao Shengheng.
Faced with this question, Xiao Shengheng chose to remain silent.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Lijin spoke again: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. It's better to keep it in your heart."
Then Su Lijin spoke again, changing the subject, "You said there are so many refugees here. If we don't come here this time, their situation will only get worse."
Su Lijin sighed in her heart. To be honest, it was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Xiao Shengheng nodded.
"So we need to resolve the famine here as soon as possible."
"Sure enough, no matter what time it is, the lives of ordinary people are always the hardest." Su Lijin looked into the distance.
What he said was the truth. If a war breaks out, ordinary people's families will be forced to conscript soldiers, and a good family will be torn apart.
"If I, as the emperor, do nothing to reduce the occurrence of this kind of situation, then wouldn't this position be in vain?" Xiao Shengheng said.
Su Lijin nodded in agreement with this statement.
We should find a way to get the Prime Minister to step down quickly. Su Lijin knew it wouldn't be that easy.
But if he continues to be in charge, the disaster here will only get worse, the people will suffer, and it will eventually become a hell on earth.
Xiao Shengheng nodded. This matter involved many people. If it weren't for this, he would have replaced the Prime Minister long ago.
Just like that, the two of them sat together and chatted about random things.
"Why are there Kongming lanterns there?" Su Lijin pointed to the distance and saw a lantern rising up, followed by the second and third lanterns rising up slowly, and then a sky full of Kongming lanterns appeared in Su Lijin's sight.
Countless sky lanterns slowly flew into the sky, and the scene looked very beautiful.
Looking from this angle, Su Lijin was stunned by the sky full of Kongming lanterns. Although she also released Kongming lanterns during the Lantern Festival, this was the first time she saw so many.
It seems to be able to light up the night.
Xiao Shengheng followed his gaze and explained.
"That's Kongming Festival over there."
"Kongming Festival, there is such a festival."
It was the first time that Su Lijin had heard of this. If she hadn't climbed to the top of the mountain, she probably wouldn't have seen such a shocking scene.
Xiao Shengheng nodded. Su Lijin looked at the Kongming lantern in front of her. Xiao Shengheng, who was sitting next to her, looked at her sideways.
