Chapter 277 Life-saving grace

The man was also helpless: "It really doesn't work. I want to find a way to clear the snow around and go outside to see. The imperial city will definitely arrange people to save us. Thanks to the regent, the government sent half a bag of rice to every household a few days ago. If you save some, it will be enough for our family to eat for half a month."

The woman's originally desperate eyes were a little brighter.

"Yes, thanks to the regent, who saved our lives."

The firewood in the house was burning.

It was not particularly cold.

The child was also covered with a quilt, and the family could still have a mouthful of hot porridge.

The same thing happened in many families.

The heavy snow outside was more than half a person's height. In some places, if a person fell, he would disappear without a trace.

Fortunately, the space in the snow is not solid, so you can breathe.

It's a little cold at best, and with help, you can at least climb up.

It's hard to go further.

Beifeng City is not the only city in the north that suffered, but it's more serious here. The snow in other places can be cleared in three to five days.

Only in Beifeng City, the snow is so heavy that it may not be possible to clear the road for traffic in a month.

In other words, in this month, Beifeng City was completely sealed, and no one could enter or leave.

The news that the northern cities were covered by heavy snow spread everywhere like wings.

Even the Southern Qi State got the news.

Emperor Nanqi sat in a magnificent palace, with red curtains hanging all around him, and delicacies placed on the table in front of him.

He leaned lazily on the chair, opened a secret letter in his hand, and after reading the contents, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Opposite the table where he was sitting,

a mature and charming figure was sitting there.

The woman had a slender figure, graceful and charming, especially her face, which was extremely charming.

Her long hair was curled, and although she was a little older and had some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she still had a charming demeanor, and her every frown and smile was full of stunning style.

In those eyes, there was a breath of time that young women did not have.

She sat upright, her gestures were graceful and calm. Even when facing the emperor of a country, her expression did not change at all, and she even asked with a slight smile.

"What makes the emperor so happy?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Nanqi could not help but look up at the woman in front of him.

There were some different emotions hidden in his eyes.

His eyes fell on the other's bright red lips, and he smiled and said, "Beiling Country has suffered a rare snow disaster in many years. Now Beifeng City is blocked by snow. It is estimated that many people will die."

The beautiful woman is none other than Xu Meir's mother, Madam Xu.

Xu Meir's appearance is only three-tenths of hers.

When the mother and daughter stand together, most people will look at this mother with outstanding temperament.

Madam Xu did not change her expression when she heard this. She did not seem very happy. After drinking a sip of tea, she said, "I heard that half a month ago, Beiling State had already started to send food and supplies to Beifeng City. Although the snow disaster is coming, I am afraid it will not cause much damage to Beiling State."

As soon as these words came out, the originally happy expression on the face of Emperor Nanqi froze.

He did hear this news, but at that time it was just a joke.

Many, many people did not believe that the rumor was true.

They also thought that Lingfengxun was wasting the manpower and material resources of Beiling State in vain.

But after half a month, the snow disaster arrived on time.

Emperor Nanqi was also a little stunned. He could not help but touch his chin, and an extremely surprised emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that Qin Tianjian of Beiling Kingdom is so powerful that he could predict this disaster and calculate the time so accurately?"

Madam Xu raised her lips and said, "Even the Wei Chi family has such metaphysical abilities that they can steal Beiling's luck and bring about natural disasters. How can Beiling Kingdom not have such extraordinary people?"

These words made Emperor Nanqi's eyes become even more profound.

He drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, but his eyes were extremely clear.

"Madam, you are right. Qin Tianjian is really a great enemy to me. If such a powerful person hides among them, it will not be a good thing for Southern Qi. I will arrange someone to assassinate Qin Tianjian!"

Madam Xu raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't bother yourself. Arranging a killer may not be useful. I have a good idea."

"Madam, please speak."

Facing this beautiful woman in front of him, although the Emperor of Southern Qi wanted to take her for himself, he did not dare to move.

His attitude towards her was also polite.

Because he knew that this woman was not a good person.

Madam Xu raised her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were like the eyes of a poisonous snake, which made people tremble with fear.

"Mei'er is still in the Beiling Palace. If I ask her to do something, she will definitely do her best."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Nanqi immediately understood what the other party meant and couldn't help but laugh.

"Madam, you make sense. I'll trouble Mei'er with this matter. If you do a good job, I will definitely reward you greatly!"

Suddenly, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Madam Xu frowned and put down the teacup.

"It's getting late. I don't want to disturb you and your son, so I'll go back first."

After saying this, Madam Xu got up and left through another secret door.

The two met secretly, and no one knew except the emperor's confidants.

Emperor Nanqi asked someone to take away all the things that Madam Xu had used, and then asked someone to bring the crown prince in.

A moment later.

A slender figure appeared before the Emperor of Southern Qi.

The young man was wearing a moon-white robe with neatly embroidered cloud patterns on the cuffs. The bamboo leaves fluttering at the corners of his robe gave him an even more graceful demeanor.

That cold face was handsome and unparalleled, with a pair of extremely clear eyes and long hair tied neatly by a jade crown. He came to the front of Emperor Nanqi in a proper manner and bowed to salute.

"Greetings, father."

"Sit down."

Emperor Nanqi waved his hand and asked Baili Yunhe to sit down.

He immediately changed his attitude and his face was full of kindness.

"Did you feel uncomfortable in the palace during this period of time?"

Baili Yunhe shook his head.

"My son has lived very well during this period of time, and other people are also very kind to me."

Hearing him say this, Emperor Nanqi couldn't help but smile, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder across the table.

"That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't get used to it. If there's anything you want to eat that's not available here, I'll have someone bring some chefs from Beiling."

"No need. I don't have anything I miss about Beiling."

Only people who miss it .

However, when Emperor Nanqi heard his son say this, he was even happier, with a clear smile in his eyes.

"It's so late today. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Finally, he asked the main question.

His son had been back for so long, but he rarely took the initiative to look for him. He had always been placed in the newly built East Palace, and was canonized as the crown prince when he arrived.

But this crown prince was in name only, without any power.

He just wanted Baili Yunhe to taste the sweetness of being the crown prince, let him adapt to this place little by little, and develop feelings for him, so that he could hand over the kingdom he had conquered to him in the future. He wanted

to tell Baili Yunhe that his father was the best person in the world to him!

"I came here today for a very important matter."
