After listening to Li Xiaochen's introduction, Lin Yuxin turned around and looked at them one by one, and finally her eyes fell on Wang Feng, who had just looked at her with ill intentions.

[You're Wang Feng, huh? The lecherous Wang who doesn't even spare his own sister-in-law? No wonder he looks familiar. I've seen him once before at a state banquet. It's like a drop of gold from the sky! He's delivered to my door, it would be a shame not to take a bite. 】

[But I don't know if the two pieces of flesh below this girl can hold back when she's out. If she does this, don't blame her for being ruthless! ]

Lin Yuxin thought about the way Wang Feng looked at her just now, and it was not difficult for her to guess what this pervert was thinking. However, if she had the courage to come, she would have to leave something for her.

The fierceness in Li Xiaochen's eyes was also obvious, "Whoever dares to dream of me, deserves to die."

Lin Yuxin retracted her gaze, took the pastry handed to her by Li Xiaochen and gave it to Xiao Hao.

"Eat something! Take a seat first."

께浩 took the snack and smiled at Lin Yuxin obediently:

"Thank you, sister!"

"Well, are you tired from the journey?"

Lin Yuxin raised her hand and touched 놛's head, and asked softly.

“Not tired!”

Xiao Hao said while eating that this little bit of hardship was not as bitter as the days under the cage before.

"The further north you go, the hotter it gets. Lenghan sent me news this morning that food prices in Jibei City have started to rise. The original price was 10 괗 文 per jin, but now it has risen to 50 文 per jin. In addition, many places have begun to lack water."

Li Xiaochen had a cold face and told Lin Yuxin seriously the news he had just received.

"What do the governors of Jeju City and Jebuk City say?"

After hearing this, Lin Yuxin frowned and asked.

"There has been no movement in Jeju City, but the prefect of Jebuk City issued several instructions yesterday. First, one tael of silver is required to enter the city. Second, food is collected. Third, the wells in every village have been requisitioned by the government. People are not allowed to draw water privately, otherwise they will be beaten."

Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin and finished his story.

"The prefect of Jibei City is really a black-hearted man. He is stepping on the lives of the people to make money! The higher-ups don't care? If this continues, there will be complaints in a few days. Isn't it a matter of time before they rebel? It seems that the higher-ups are involved!"

"It seems that some people just want to make the water more and more muddy so that they can reap the benefits."

Lin Yuxin sneered and said lightly.

"It should be more than that. Last time in the hall, I wanted to take over this task, but you intercepted me halfway. I guess I wanted to give you a little warning! So that you will be in a mess after you go there."

Li Xiaochen nodded in agreement with Lin Yuxin's words.

"Ha! Well done! Let's see who will win!"

A faint light flashed across Lin Yuxin's eyes, and her expression turned cold.

Seeing this, Li Xiaochen reached out and pinched her face, breaking Lin Yuxin's cold expression.

"What?"

Lin Yuxin frowned and raised her hand to knock away Li Xiaochen's hand that was pinching her cheek, and questioned unhappily.

"Haha, you don't fit the expression just now. You should smile more, right, Xiaohao?"

Li Xiaochen pursed his lips and smiled, but was afraid that Lin Yuxin would not believe him at the end, so he turned around and asked Xiao Hao who was watching the show on the side.

Lin Yuxin turned her head and looked at Xiao Hao, and saw that Xiao Hao was nodding frantically, while eating something and mumbling:

"Yeah, sister still looks better when she smiles."

Lin Yuxin reached out her hand and pinched 께浩's cheek, directly deforming his face. 꺳 withdrew her hand with satisfaction and said sourly:

"A few days ago, why are you and Li Xiaochen so angry now? Sister doesn't even mention who is the first in your heart?"

"No! My sister is the most important to me."

When Xiao Hao heard Lin Yuxin's words, he quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and started to explain.

If my sister didn't like this ice cube, 놛꺳 wouldn't be nice to 놛 and would be cold all day long.

When I become capable in the future, I will find many warm-hearted men for my sister to serve her.

Although I don’t know what a warm man means, what my sister said makes sense.

Lin Yuxin didn't know what her adopted brother was thinking, but she was quite happy to hear what 놛 said.

"That's good to know. It's worth it that your sister loves you. Did you hear what we just said?"

Lin Yuxin smiled with relief, then asked with a serious expression.

"I heard it!"

께 Hao nodded in response.

"Do you understand?"

Lin Yuxin asked.

"I understand, but I don't."

This time Xiao Hao did not act stubbornly and answered honestly.

"Xiaohao, the officialdom is like a battlefield, but the people are the foundation of a country. No matter how dirty the means are, they should not be used against the people. This time, I will take you out. You should take a good look at how the people of Xia country live and how the officials do nothing."

"You are still young. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just watch and learn. It will be good for you."

Lin Yuxin spoke her inner thoughts to Xiaohao seriously. This was also the reason why she brought Xiaohao out. Her identity did not allow her to be a flower in a greenhouse. She had to go out and see what her country would be like in the future and how its people would live in the future.

"Well, sister, Xiaohao must study hard."

Xiaohao also put away his joking heart and nodded his promise seriously. He knew that he was a born from his sister's voice, so he could more or less guess what his sister was thinking, so he would study hard what his sister taught him.

[Xiaohao, don't blame me for being cruel. I'm bringing you out here to gain experience. I don't know how long you can stay with me, but I hope that as long as you stay with me, I will teach you the correct worldview and values, so that you will no longer be a tyrant in the future and become a wise ruler.]

Lin Yuxin touched Xiaohao's head, looked at his face which had become thinner in the past few days, and tried hard to suppress the pain in her heart. She knew that she had taken it for granted. If she didn't try hard, how could she know whether this seedling would grow crooked?

Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin with tenderness in his eyes. He didn't care who the next emperor would be, but his girl had great ambitions and was optimistic about this girl. If this was what she wanted, he would accomplish it with her.

After resting for a while, everyone continued their journey.

It got hotter and hotter as they walked. After two days, Lin Yuxin could already see that the ground was starting to dry out and crack.

Water has become a scarce resource. Not only has it not rained in the north, but the temperature is also too high and the water evaporates too quickly, so the water in the river fields cannot last much longer. This month is already the limit.

Lin Yuxin watched as some of the refugees began to flee southward, and her heart sank. It seemed that the situation was worse than she had imagined.

"Zhao Yi!"

"Sister 께께?"

Zhao Yi appeared beside the carriage and asked with his head down.

“Go ask the disaster victims where they came from and what the situation is like there.”

Lin Yuxin lowered her head and gave the order.

"yes."

Ever since she assigned Xueying to Xiaohao, her grandfather asked her to bring Zhao Yi and Zhao Xiao with her. There were also more than ten Zhao family soldiers accompanying the team, all of whom she arranged in Li Xiaochen's team to avoid being discovered by Xiao.

In the open, there were only Zhao Yi and Zhao Xiao, while Xue Ying was hidden in the dark.

However, Li Xiaochen said that the emperor also sent someone to stay in the dark, so she was not afraid to comfort him.
