Chapter 1432: Granary
Yesterday, her son came home with a particularly pale face, which frightened her so much that she almost called a doctor. After knowing the reason, she was speechless. It was just over thirty taels of rice. Her son had saved a lot of money!
Liu Yuanbo, "Yeah."
He particularly regretted his act of sending himself to the door, but it was too late to regret it now.
After seeing that there was more than one uncle, Liu Yuanbo looked up at the sky. There were not only uncles, but also brothers-in-law. The Zhou family had quite a few brothers-in-law.
At Zhou's house, Ling'er finally arrived in the capital. Zhulan held her grandson in her arms. "This child has suffered a lot along the way. Look how thin he is."
They had been waiting since they received the letter. Later, a flood broke out and Zhulan was worried so she sent someone to pick up Ling'er. A few days later, a letter was sent back to the capital. Only then did she feel relieved to know that Ling'er was safe.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong sent her child away early and did not encounter the flood. The reason it took so long to reach the capital was because the child was still young.
Ming Ling didn't feel that he had lost weight. "Grandma, I eat well every day."
Zhulan, "Mingling is so good."
Yuyi also feels sorry for her younger brother. Yujiao has not been naughty these days, and the two sisters miss their younger brother very much.
Mrs. Li couldn't stand a skinny child. She wanted a plump and healthy child. "I'll give Mingling some nourishment. He must be plump and white before autumn."
Zhao smiled and said, "Then my third brother's wife will definitely be grateful to my eldest sister-in-law."
She and her third brother's wife corresponded frequently. Their sons were about the same age, and her third brother's wife always complained that Ming Ling ate a lot but was not fat.
Li, "Mom, if you feel comfortable, let Ming Ling live in the main house for a while. I will definitely give you a fat grandson."
Zhulan looked down at Mingling, "He should live in the main courtyard first, and wait for Mingling to get familiar with the house first."
Mingling is a child. He was still young when he came back last time. Now he is unfamiliar with everything and needs some time to get familiar with home.
Li, "Mother is still very thoughtful."
Zhulan said to Mingling, "You still have a few brothers in the academy. You will be able to meet them after school. I will let the sisters take you to get familiar with the house later."
Ming Ling nodded, "Yeah."
Zhulan smiled. Although the child was small and thin, he adapted quite quickly.
Yuyi took her younger brother out for a walk. The little guy was curious about everything. Yuyi felt soft inside as she listened to her brother's questions.
Zhulan and other daughters-in-law left and wrote back to Mrs. Dong. After writing the letter, she sighed and said that she didn't know what was happening in Qizhou. There had been no news from Qizhou recently.
In Qizhou, Mrs. Dong saw her husband frowning, "Aren't there enough herbs? Why are you still worried?"
Chang Lian rubbed his legs. "Due to the flood, many livestock died in the water because they didn't have time to escape. Recently, the soldiers have been collecting corpses and dealing with them. But the soldiers are also human beings. The non-stop work has made them very tired. Now people are needed everywhere, and there are not enough people in the city."
"If you don't have enough manpower, why don't you use refugees?"
Chang Lian, "Some of the refugees were already sick, and the prefect was afraid that the animal carcasses would infect the refugees, so he didn't use the refugees."
Floods mean disease, and the people in the city are afraid and unwilling to help, which is really worrying.
Mrs. Dong helped her husband to feel his forehead, "When the time comes, things will be fine. We will find a way."
Chang Lian nodded, "Yes."
Dong said, "According to the date, my son should arrive in the capital soon."
Speaking of her son, she was thankful that she sent him off quickly, otherwise if floods hit states one after another, she would have gone crazy if her son had stayed in a state hit by the flood.
Chang Lian's brows relaxed a lot. Without the child to worry about, he and his wife could rest assured. "It should be here."
At this time, a servant from the government office came in and said, "Sir, the prefect wants to see you urgently."
Chang Lian stood up and said to his wife, "I will go to the government office first. You don't have to worry at home."
Dong said, "You should also pay attention to your legs."
Chang Lian indicated that he knew, and only when he arrived at the prefecture did he know what had happened. He asked in disbelief, "The granary was burned?"
He was wondering why he saw thick smoke in the sky, and it turned out to be a granary.
The prefect held his brow and said, "Someone deliberately set fire to the granary."
Chang Lian cursed inwardly, "Damn it, who is so brave? And isn't the granary heavily guarded?"
The refugees in the state capital rely on granaries for food. Now that the granaries have been burned, what will happen to the refugees' food?
The prefect frowned and said, "We have already sent people to grab food. I didn't go to watch. No matter how much food we can grab now, the news that the granary was burned will spread throughout the city tomorrow. We have to think about how to suppress the panic of the refugees."
Chang Lian felt that the situation was very difficult. "We need to gather the soldiers to defend the city now to prevent any injuries from tomorrow's chaos."
The prefect said, "I have sent people to look for General Liu."
In the mountain village, Xue Han woke up at night. Her stomach hurt when she moved. She felt that the child was still there, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Xue Han turned her head and saw Rong Chuan beside her, and couldn't help but shed tears. Their family of three was fine and no one had left.
The female guard at the door heard the noise in the room and rushed in, "Princess, you are awake."
Xue Han's voice was a little hoarse, "Well, how is the King of Qin's injury?"
The female assassin replied while taking the patient's pulse, "Your Highness's condition has stabilized. He needs to recuperate for a few days before continuing on his journey."
Xue Han touched her belly and felt it cramping. "How's the baby?"
The female assassin said, "The child is saved, but the princess will have to lie down for a few days before she can get up."
Xue Han felt a little hungry, her brain was bleeding, and her stomach was churning. In the end, she forced herself to drink some soup for the sake of the child. Not long after she drank the medicine, her eyelids started to droop.
The leader of the assassination squad was worried. The journey back to the capital was not easy. They would not stop killing the King of Qin until he was dead. The King of Qin and his wife could not stand the fast pace. The leader looked at the small mountain village and thought this was not a place to stay for long.
The news that Rongchuan was stabbed and seriously injured was sent to the capital through special channels at the fastest speed. Rongchuan had already left the small mountain village.
The emperor looked at the news in his hand and said, "Damn it."
Rongchuan went to the southernmost part and it took him some time to get back to Beijing. However, it was still very far away from the capital, and the news took too long to reach the capital.
The emperor has the information. These people are very good. He has memorized every detail of them and will slaughter them sooner or later.
The prince was relieved to know that his uncle was fine, and he said hesitantly, "The emperor is still waiting for news from my uncle."
Recently, the Empress Dowager has been ill because she was worried about her uncle.
The emperor wanted to keep the news secret, but he didn't dare to. Don't think that your father won't punish him if he doesn't care. If he dares to keep the news secret, your father will definitely punish him.
The Emperor passed the message to the Crown Prince, "Your Grandpa loves you the most besides your uncle, so you can deliver it to him!"
Prince, "!!"
He is truly my father. I didn’t dare to send it myself and asked him to deliver the message. He also didn’t want to face the furious emperor!
"I need to think about how to safely bring your uncle back to Beijing. You go ahead."
The prince said, "...No, Father, I think so."
"Um?"
"It's okay, son will deliver the message now."
The emperor was satisfied, "Spend more time with your grandpa recently."
Prince, "......"
