Chapter 64 Breaking the situation
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes widened, she covered her face tightly and saluted quickly: "Hello, big brother."
She didn't dare to look up, feeling very guilty.
Fortunately, Ye Yunchu didn't focus too much on her, but on Li Ruanruan: "Why are you running? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
Li Runrun was just talking about Ye Qiaoqiao, and now her face was also red. She was really confused when she suddenly saw Ye Yunchu and thought of last night.
She was a little slow to react to what he asked, and her eyes widened slightly before she shook her head: "Really, I didn't listen."
Li Ruanruan lowered her head, then raised her eyes again: "Did the prince call me? Is there anything you want me to do?"
"Seeing you running so fast, I thought something happened to you, so I came to take a look."
He said so.
Li Runrun felt warm in her heart, because she knew that he was a caring person.
She took two steps closer to him before whispering, "It's okay, I didn't hear you shouting. I'll be more careful next time."
When Ye Yunchu saw her like this, the depression in his heart from losing the handkerchief dissipated a little, and he reached out and grabbed her hand.
Because she had just run, Li Runrun's hands were warm at this time.
The shop owner and his staff had already knelt on the ground: "Greetings, Master."
Ye Yunchu didn't let them get up. He pulled Li Ruanruan and rubbed her hand: "Are you done?"
Li Ruanruan hasn't spoken yet.
Ye Qiaoqiao said hurriedly: "It's all done."
Ye Yunchu nodded and pulled Li Ruanruan away.
Li Runrun got on the carriage parked in front of the shop. This carriage was simpler than the last one, more suitable for travel and less conspicuous.
But in comparison, the space inside the carriage is not that big.
Ye Yunchu sat down, and Li Runrun sat beside him with a blushing face.
The carriage also shook a little. As it moved, Li Ruanruan swayed. She was already sitting next to him and was a little nervous, so she didn't sit still and fell forward.
He grabbed her waist and held her in his arms: "You can't even sit still, what else can you do?"
Li Runrun thought about how he had said the same thing to her last night.
Her face flushed, and she felt her whole body stiff as she was held in his arms, unable to move.
With my ear pressed against his chest, I could hear his strong heartbeat, and my nose was filled with his fragrance.
She felt like she couldn't breathe and felt dizzy all over.
I feel like if this continues, I'm going to get carsick.
So Li Runrun stretched out her hand, but there was nowhere to press, so she could only touch the air and press on Ye Yunchu's leg.
She sat up straight.
Seeing that she had a lot on her mind but couldn't figure anything out, Ye Yunchu shook his head.
Li Runrun folded her hands in front of her, thinking that the prince probably didn't see her embarrassing look.
The main thing was that she felt the air and then put her hand on his leg, which was really stupid.
This is so embarrassing. Is there a crack in the ground that I can crawl into?
The next moment, her wrist was pinched, and then her finger was bitten by the prince: "Behave yourself."
He said she.
Li Runrun looked at the circle of teeth marks on her finger and pursed her lips. The prince should not have a hobby of eating people.
Li Ruanruan thought she would go back to the Marquis' Mansion. When the carriage stopped, she heard Ye Yunchu tell her, "Don't get off."
He went down.
Li Runrun sat for a while. Ye Yunchu was not there and she was the only one in the carriage. Li Runrun became bolder.
She stretched her numb body and sat next to Ye Yunchu, still feeling a little nervous and uneasy. Her back would become numb if it was too tense.
Li Ruanruan covered her arms, moved them a little, and then sat down near the carriage window. She quietly opened a gap in the carriage curtain.
Looking outside, I saw many disaster victims fleeing.
This is.......
Outside the city.
It was the first time that Li Runrun had seen such a scene: ragged old people, half-naked children, skinny young people, and mothers who were desperately protecting their babies.
Li Runrun's eyes turned red instantly. She lifted the curtain a little wider and saw the head of the secret guard, who should be the one left by Ye Yunchu to protect her.
Li Runrun also saw the porridge stalls and the officers and soldiers who were providing shelter for the refugees.
When Ye Yunchu arrived at the porridge stall, he saw the clear porridge in the pot so thick that you could see your reflection in it. He became extremely angry and immediately hacked two people to death. Blood was all over the ground.
After Ye Yunchu got angry and killed a chicken to scare the monkeys, he had only one request: the chopsticks must be able to stand upright in the porridge.
Just as Li Runrun smelled the smell of blood in the air, she became a little worried about Ye Yunchu, so she lifted the curtain a little more and subconsciously looked for the familiar figure.
The next second, everything went dark. It was the secret guard who held the curtain down. "It's dirty in here. It's better not to pollute the eyes of the maid."
There was nothing to look at for Li Ruanruan, but she felt a dull pain in her heart when she heard what the secret guard said.
How can it be dirty? These are human lives.
She is too soft-hearted after all.
Little did he know that outside the carriage, officers and soldiers were cleaning up the corpses and bloodstains.
Ye Yunchu checked the distribution of supplies and did not expect that even under the emperor's feet, there were still people who embezzled and hid the supplies. He also encountered refugees making trouble and attempting to assassinate.
I didn't want to get blood on my clothes, but when I returned to the carriage, there were still some drops of blood on my clothes.
Li Runrun was very uneasy. She couldn't see anything, but she could smell the increasingly strong smell of blood and hear the noise outside.
Her face turned pale. When she saw someone lifting the curtain, she shuddered with fear and clenched the hairpin hidden in her hand tightly. Her palm hurt without her realizing it.
Ye Yunchu's eyes darkened, and then he said, "I shouldn't have brought you here. I scared you."
He just came to take a look and wanted to leave if there was no problem, but all he saw were problems. He became very angry, killed someone, and was stabbed.
I regret bringing my concubine here. I should let her be busy with the shop happily. Why let her see all this?
Li Ruanruan loosened the hairpin, shook her head, and hurriedly stood up to support him: "Master, are you hurt?"
She was still afraid that he would get hurt, so she touched him up and down.
Ye Yunchu grabbed her hand and held her in his arms. After a while, he said, "Nothing."
The carriage began to sway again, this time heading back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Ye Yunchu was not as relaxed as before he came. He leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes, but his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.
Li Ruanruan had never seen a prince like this before, so she went over and gently rubbed his temples.
Ye Yunchu opened his eyes, looked at her, and closed them again.
Li Ruanruan continued to massage him gently, and then said, "The prince is worried about the victims. The weather is getting colder day by day."
How can we not worry? The victims have all fled here. If a large number of them starve to death or freeze to death, the emperor will be embarrassed, and the people working below will be in trouble.
Ye Yunchu opened his eyes, but he didn't expect that Li Runrun, a girl in the backyard, could see that what he was worried about was that the weather was getting colder day by day, and the victims had not been resettled yet, and what to do.
He grabbed Li's soft wrist and said, "Yes."
After waiting for a while and seeing Li Ruanruan still didn't say anything, Ye Yunchu spoke again: "What do you think? Tell me about it. I have never heard of a woman's thoughts. Maybe it can help me break the deadlock."
