Chapter 455 Acting with her
Zhou Qing walked to the front of the team and knelt down, "Your servant Zhou Qing pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
The people outside the carriage had already noticed Zhou Qing, and when she approached, they all looked at her warily.
The team was blocked by Zhou Qing, and a cold voice came from the carriage, "Get up."
"Thank you, Madam."
After Zhou Qing stood up, he heard the Queen say, "You should stay with me for the time being."
"Yes, madam."
Zhou Qing'an suppressed his excitement, got on the horse and walked beside the carriage.
The team soon arrived outside the city gate.
The disaster victims waiting outside the city looked around curiously when they saw such a well-dressed team approaching, hoping that the people on the car could bring them some food.
The team stopped outside the city gate. The guards in front looked at the victims and said, "The Queen has arrived. Why don't you come forward and kowtow?"
The guards' voices were like a loud bell, and the victims not far away could hear them.
The victims looked in the direction of the carriage in astonishment, and got up from the ground and came forward to kowtow to Su Ying.
"Please, Queen, save us. We are starving to death."
"Empress, help me..."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a slender hand, and Su Ying, dressed in a long green dress, stood out from the sedan chair. Her cold eyes were filled with convincing determination. She stood in the carriage and her eyes swept across the faces of the victims one by one.
"I heard that there was a drought in Luocheng, making the people of Luocheng miserable. It is really hateful that the government did nothing to resettle you. But don't worry, now that I am here, I will definitely make sure everyone is resettled." After saying that, Su Ying returned to the carriage and took out bags of dry food from the carriage.
"There's not much dry food here. Everyone will line up in a while. The guards will distribute half a cake according to the order in which they line up. If you don't get any, don't worry. At the latest in two days, I will send people to the outside of the city to distribute porridge to you."
The victims were so frightened when they saw the dry food in their bags, but they did not dare to act rashly as the queen was there.
"You stay and distribute dry food to the people." Su Ying said to the two guards.
The guards responded and took the bags from Su Ying one after another. There was also a carriage behind, which was loaded with dry food. These dry food were prepared by Su Ying's people in the nearby city.
Although it’s not much, it can at least pull many victims back from the brink of death.
After everything here was explained clearly, a guard came forward and knocked on the door.
The soldiers guarding the city had just heard the noise outside the door, but they did not go out to check. After hearing someone knocking on the door, they opened the small door and walked out. They were also confused when they saw Su Ying, who looked very imposing, standing on the carriage.
"Who are you?"
"How dare you! You don't even kneel down to salute the Queen when you see her." The guard scolded in a deep voice.
The officers and soldiers looked at Su Ying in shock. The Queen, why did the Queen come to them? Didn't they hear from the government officials that the Queen fell into the flood and drowned a few months ago?
Now another queen has come to Los Angeles, what is going on?
But impersonating the queen is a serious crime. Who would be so stupid at this critical moment?
The officer was undecided for a moment and winked at the person behind him, indicating that he should hurry to the mansion to inform Lord Wei of the situation.
The officer still felt that the person in front of him was most likely fake. "You said it was the queen, do you have anything to prove your identity?"
The guard took out Su Ying's phoenix token from his body.
The officers and soldiers were not capable of telling whether the Phoenix Medal was real or not, but the fire phoenix carved on the gold medal made him feel that it was real!
The soldier's knees softened and he knelt down before Su Ying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know you were coming. Please don't blame me."
Su Ying looked down at the soldiers kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Open the city gate."
The officers and soldiers were unable to confirm Su Ying's identity and hesitated whether to open the door.
"How dare you, Queen, stop us outside the city!"
The officers and soldiers were frightened and trembled as they quickly got up and opened the city gate.
On the other side, the officers and soldiers also arrived at the government office and reported the situation to Lord Wei.
Upon hearing this, Lord Wei sat up from his chair and asked, "What did you say? The Queen is here?"
"Yes, he came with a team of people."
Lord Wei was stunned for a moment and then laughed sarcastically, "Good fellow, this liar has even come to me." Ordinary people might not know that the queen has seen a ghost, but how could he, a city defender, not know?
Although the Emperor has sent people to look for her, is it possible to find her? Not to mention a living person, they can't even find a corpse. Now someone actually comes to them and says that she is the Queen. It's ridiculous!
"I need to meet this 'queen'. Go, let the person in for me."
"yes."
As soon as the soldiers left, the butler said, "Sir, what do you think this man wants to do by pretending to be the queen?"
"No matter what she does, if she dares to offend me, I will let her know why the flowers are so red!"
Wei Daren had just finished speaking when a servant came to say that the Queen's carriage had arrived outside the door.
Lord Wei thought about it and decided to stand up and walk out, intending to put on a show with this fake guy.
Lord Wei walked out of the gate with the intention of watching a good show.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
Lord Wei raised his eyes slightly and saw a figure getting off the carriage. His gaze followed the toes straight up, and when he met the pair of phoenix eyes that sank into the deep sea, his eyebrows twitched suddenly.
Su Ying just glanced at him calmly and said, "Get up."
Lord Wei subconsciously straightened up, but when he met Su Ying's gaze, he bowed his body reflexively and acted submissive. When he reacted, he couldn't help but be surprised. How could he be afraid of a woman who was just pretending to be the queen?
Lord Wei quickly stood up, but Su Ying had already entered the government office, so he could only follow in.
Lord Wei trotted up behind Su Ying and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."
Su Ying was invited to the main hall. As soon as she sat down, Lord Wei stepped forward and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the queen had come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope the queen can forgive me."
Su Ying's eyes fell on Lord Wei calmly, "I heard that there was a drought in Luocheng. I was worried about the situation of the victims, so I turned back on my way to Beijing. I saw a large number of victims stranded outside the city waiting. Lord Wei, do you want to give me a reasonable explanation?"
Lord Wei sneered in his heart, he was just playing along with her, but she really thought she was a dish and the queen, and she even dared to question him.
"I heard that the queen fell from the Cangjiang Dam and her whereabouts are unknown. I wonder how the queen escaped from the rolling torrent?"
