Lin Yuxin sat in the carriage and waited for a while. Zhao Yi came over and whispered:
"This group of refugees came from Quyan County. There was a water and food shortage there, and the government did not distribute food. The people were so hungry that they started to leave their homes. Those who did not leave their homes only had some stored food, but it was estimated that it was enough to hold on."
"Looks like we need to speed up. Go find the prince, and let's get going!"
Lin Yuxin frowned, and then asked Zhao Yi to go and say hello to Li Xiaochen before retiring.
Li Xiaochen left the carriage early in the morning and rode at the front to check the situation.
"yes!"
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he walked towards Li Xiaochen.
After a while, the carriage started to move at a faster speed.
She sat aside and fanned Xiaohao. Because it was too hot, Xiaohao was sweating all over and his clothes were soaked.
She had been fanning him all the way, but it was of no avail. There was no ice now, but she knew how to make ice, but now even water was scarce, let alone making ice, so she could only endure it for a while.
Lin Yuxin took out some summer medicine in advance and told everyone to drink it every day, but of course they would definitely get heatstroke in this kind of weather.
Lin Yuxin is also very hot now, but she still endures it because the child is suffering too much.
She looked at Xiaohao's miserable look and regretted bringing him out.
[Seeing how miserable Xiaohao is, it would be better to let him stay in the capital instead of coming out with her to suffer this time! ]
Lin Yuxin fanned herself with a fan, looking at Xiaohao, who was drowsy from the heat, with a painful look on her face.
Lin Yuxin hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke to Xiaohao:
"Xiao Hao, do you want me to take you back? It's so cold, you're suffering here."
"Sister, I'm going back! Now that I'm out, I'll stick with it."
When Xiaohao heard that his sister was going to send him back, he immediately perked up, sat up, and said seriously.
"Okay, I'll take you home, but if you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me."
Seeing his expression, Lin Yuxin nodded helplessly and reminded him that she was the one who brought the person out, and Xiaohao was now determined to go back, so she had to bring him back safely.
"Um!"
Xiaohao nodded with a smile, as long as he could send him back.
Because the journey was faster, the three or four-mile journey was only two miles away. It was really hard for the officials, who suffered a lot from this. Their bones were broken apart and they were dying from the heat along the way.
The gentleman named Liu Hongbo still couldn't hold on and got heatstroke. He is still lying in the carriage!
Lin Yuxin felt that the carriage stopped but did not enter the city. Lin Yuxin looked ahead in confusion. After a while, Li Xiaochen came over on horseback.
"What's going on ahead? Are we going into the city?"
Lin Yuxin looked at Li Xiaochen coming over and asked in confusion.
"The city gate in front is blocked by disaster victims. They want to enter the city, but the gate is not open."
Li Xiaochen spoke seriously about the previous situation, with a hint of hostility in his tone.
“How many victims are there?”
Lin Yuxin thought for a moment and asked.
"A lot, probably hundreds of people!"
Li Xiaochen thought about it and replied.
"So many! I'm afraid that everyone from the surrounding villages has come here. A few hundred people is not a small number! The governor of Jebuk City must have seen so many disaster victims and was afraid, so he hid."
Lin Yuxin was shocked when she heard the number of people. So many disaster victims showed that the disaster situation around them was not optimistic.
Along the way she saw rivers drying up, roads cracking, and even some flowers and plants dying.
Plus it's so hot, this environment is indeed suitable for living.
"Well, Yuxin, I want to send someone to check the situation around."
Li Xiaochen nodded and expressed his thoughts.
"Go ahead. If you go, I also want Zhao Yi and the others to check it out. Since you brought it up first, it's best for you to go."
Lin Yuxin heard what he said and agreed with him. It seemed that the two of them were in sync with each other!
"Okay, then I'll send you into the city to check it out!"
Li Xiaochen said this and prepared to lead the way.
"Wait! Go do your thing first. I'll take care of this. If they want to show off their power to me, it depends on whether there is any such thing."
Lin Yuxin stopped Li Xiaochen and snorted coldly.
"Then you little one! I'll leave Wang Yu to you!"
Li Xiaochen saw that Lin Yuxin looked determined, so he put it aside and gave her a warning.
"No need, I have enough manpower, just go ahead!"
Lin Yuxin shook her head and refused.
[She was given this by her grandfather and the emperor. Is that enough for her to show off? Li Xiaochen is looking down on her! Humph!]
"Okay, I'll go then, little one!"
Li Xiaochen looked at the girl with amusement, it seemed that the unlucky one must be someone!
Li Xiaochen led a group of people and quietly left from the back.
Lin Yuxin was afraid of being discovered, so she asked Xiaohao to wait in the car, and then she drove the carriage directly forward, while Zhao Yi followed behind her, holding the box containing the Imperial Sword.
"Sir, please let us in. We are good citizens! We are desperate, so please let us in and have something to drink!"
"That's right, sir, please be kind and let us in! My child needs to be released soon! Wuuuuuu!"
The city gates were crowded with disaster victims. The dying people were looking for a glimmer of hope, begging the soldiers guarding the city gates, hoping that they would show mercy and let them in.
The truth is, no matter how much you beg, it's no use.
"Get out of here! You can just go in through this city gate whenever you want? If you don't have ten taels of silver, don't even think about getting in."
The official was fed up with being begged, so he waved away the people kneeling in front of him, took a step back, and said in disgust.
"Ten taels!! Where is the one tael of silver I got yesterday? Are you trying to steal it?"
When the common people who were preparing to take money to go in heard that it would cost ten taels to go in today, they felt suddenly struck by thunder.
In this period of transition between harvest and harvest, with a shortage of water and food, who has so much money? Is this going to cost them their lives?
"That's right, ten taels of silver, who has that much silver now? This is obviously robbery!"
"Oh my god, they are asking them to die! Old Master, please open your eyes and take a look! This world is so unfair!"
The people around were wailing and the situation was extremely chaotic.
"Shut up! Whoever is howling, I'll chop him down with a knife!"
The official was annoyed by the crying around him, so he swung out his sword, pointed it at the people, and shouted loudly.
The people around were silent and started crying quietly.
This was the scene Lin Yuxin saw when she arrived. She sneered:
"What a majestic presence!"
The officer holding the sword looked at the sound and saw a very beautiful girl in a light green silk dress, looking at him with interest, as if he was looking at a fool. Behind her was a group of people, all of whom he knew and were very impressive.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that some important person has come? So he asked cautiously:
"Who is this girl?"
"Me! I came here with my father to visit relatives. This is my father."
Lin Yuxin started talking nonsense, and was afraid that he would not believe her, so she pointed at Gu Qing behind her and said.
Gu Qing: When will I become a father?
