Shen Yuerong didn't expect to see Chi Mu here.
She looked a little flustered and opened her mouth to explain, but she felt that she had been caught, which meant that he had already rushed to the Shen family and knew what she wanted to do?
He did not speak, but untied his own cloak and put it on the woman, "It's cold today, and you don't even know to wear more clothes when you go out."
He took the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Fang Mu, "Go tell the soldiers guarding the city that I am leaving the city under the order of the king, and ask them to open the gate and let us pass."
"yes."
"Follow me back to the carriage."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Shen Yuerong, and the two walked to the carriage nearby.
Whether it was his waist badge, or the palace's carriage, it soon passed through the city gate. Shen Yuerong watched the doorplate getting farther and farther away from her. Stopped the carriage.
"Thank you for helping me and sending me out, but it's very dangerous outside right now, please go back quickly, don't..."
“There’s no going back.”
He reached out and touched Shen Yuerong's forehead. "I didn't allow anyone else to tell you about this matter at the beginning. I didn't want you to put yourself in danger, but I know... you will never stand by and watch."
"Chi Mu."
"I have asked His Majesty for an order. I will take care of these refugees from the south of the Yangtze River outside the city. I will never let them cause trouble. As for these people, whether it is illness, disaster or misfortune, you and I will bear it together."
"You can just ignore me..."
“Chen Yuerong, what nonsense are you talking about!”
He reached out and grabbed her arm, his eyes dark, "Everyone in this capital knows that you have long been my chosen wife. If it weren't for you, there would have always been a worldly barrier between us. I would have taken you into my palace long ago and made you my legitimate princess."
Even with royal rules, their relationship may still have a long way to go.
But he had already regarded the person in front of him as his wife.
"In my heart, you have long been my wife. No matter whether the people in this world agree or not, at least I will not abandon you."
Shen Yuerong was somewhat moved. She had indeed never thought that he would do this for her.
"Why bother? If you don't take the initiative to talk about this matter, the emperor will definitely want to hand it over to the prince. After all, if the prince can properly settle these farmers in Jiangnan, it will be a great achievement."
The prince now really wants something beneficial to happen.
And the vagrants from Jiangnan suddenly appeared in large numbers outside the capital, and nine out of ten times it was the prince's doing.
Regardless of whether any of these people were carrying the disease, they would be placed in the suburbs of the capital.
Whether these people can be finally subdued is the test of those in higher positions.
But if the person in power is the prince.
They would naturally follow your wishes, but now that Chi Mu has become like this, I'm afraid that his future days will be difficult.
"Are you worried about me? Or do you think... my ability is not enough to convince them?"
"You know clearly that I didn't mean that. I was just afraid..."
He held her in his arms, holding the back of her head tightly.
"Rongrong, I am much stronger than you think, and I can do more than you think."
Shen Yuerong also snuggled into his arms, relishing the tenderness of this moment.
Half an hour later.
The carriage slowly stopped and Fang Mu's voice was heard outside.
“My Lord, Miss Shen, we are here.”
With Fang Mu's support, Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu. Slowly got down from the carriage.
Then he saw a very chaotic scene in front of him.
These homeless vagrants from the south of the Yangtze River were driven together like animals.
The surroundings were temporarily fixed with iron bead nets to prevent them from moving around at will. They were covered with barbs, and if they were touched casually, they would leave a deep wound on their bodies.
At this moment, those innocent refugees from the south of the Yangtze River could only huddle together, relying on the small fire in front of them to absorb warmth.
There was no decent food in the few pots, but only tree bark and plants collected locally.
Is this what those people in the capital mean by being treated well?
Shen Yuerong was a little angry, but she didn't dare to make too much noise at this moment.
There should have been someone guarding this place, but the commander of the garrison was nowhere to be seen.
Just when she was getting impatient and wanted to urge him again, she saw the garrison commander running towards her in disheveled clothes.
"I didn't know the prince was here. Please forgive me, prince."
They had all heard of this prince.
"I was ordered by heaven to take charge of these refugees from Jiangnan. From now on, you will have nothing to do here."
The commander looked troubled, as if he had something to say that he dared not say.
"Your Highness, all the prisoners here are refugees from Jiangnan. They are all dirty and have diseases. I dare not let Your Highness take care of them... It would be better if I take care of them for you."
It seemed that he didn't want to hand them over easily.
While Chi Mu was still thinking of a countermeasure, Shen Yuerong could no longer bear it and directly refuted, "The current emperor personally issued an order, do you dare to refuse? Or... do you think that the emperor's decision is wrong, and these things cannot be handed over to the prince, and can only educate ordinary soldiers like you?"
"What are you talking about!"
The commander obviously did not expect that the woman next to the prince would be so eloquent, and he could not think of any words to refute for a moment.
"Then get out of here."
Shen Yuerong felt more and more distressed when she looked at those people, and she wished she could break in at this moment.
The commander was insulted by a woman in the street, so he was naturally angry and turned away.
While they were loosening the wire mesh, Shen Yuerong immediately walked into the crowd. Looking at those pale and thin people, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She turned around and looked at Chi Mu for help.
“Do what you want to do.”
Shen Yuerong nodded. Although her voice was not loud, she tried her best to reach everyone's ears.
"Everyone, I am the doctor sent by His Majesty. If you feel unwell, please tell me immediately. No matter what the disease is, even if it is just that your legs and feet are not good at walking, you can tell me."
Although Shen Yuerong revealed her identity, they had already become disheartened and naturally would never seek help from the court.
After fleeing thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, he thought he would be able to meet the emperor and express all his grievances.
But in the end, they were put in this cage just because they were carrying the so-called disease.
"Who are you? Why are you yelling here?"
Not knowing who stood up first, they looked at Shen Yuerong with some caution.
"The old emperor imprisoned us here without showing any concern for us. I'm afraid he has forgotten us a long time ago."
