Ye Qing guessed that he felt that he could not go to Mount Tai with him to Fengshan, and was a little angry.

She tried hard to squeeze the corners of her eyes, and finally squeezed out two tears, making herself look weaker and more pitiful, and said in a soft voice: "It's all my body that is not good. I'm going to set off for Mount Tai to Fengshan tomorrow, but I'm sick..."

Speaking of the latter, she felt a little sad and sad. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jue earnestly: "Your Majesty, I am not lucky in my illness. I am still not going to go to Mount Tai. I copied Buddhist scriptures in the palace and prayed to the Buddha to bless the Great Man."

Xiao Jue glanced at Ye Qing with a cold look: "Why is the queen so resistant to going to Mount Tai for the Fengshan?"

Ye Qing: Because I am afraid of dying on the road.

Ye Qing held his heart and looked uncomfortable: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's because I'm not willing to go, it's because I'm not good at it..."

Xiao Jue said quietly: "What are you doing when you have a stomachache and cover your chest?"

Ye Qing: "...I feel my chest is so stuffy."

Hearing Ye Qing's words, Xiao Jue's expression was faint on his face. He called out the door: "An Fu."

An Fu, who was waiting outside, immediately entered the hall, holding a bowl of black medicine in his hand.

After Xiao Jue took the medicine from An Fu, he let him go out.

Ye Qing still didn't understand what Xiao Jue was going to do, so she saw Xiao Jue walking over step by step with the medicine bowl, sitting by the bed, holding her with one hand, and stuffing a soft pad behind her. Then, he used his golden priest Yugui's finger to stir the bowl of medicine juice, scooped up a spoon and sent it to Ye Qing's mouth.

Ye Qing's first reaction was not that the dog emperor actually fed her medicine with his own hands, but that this black man should be poisonous, right?

Seeing her standing like a dumb goose, Xiao Jue said, "Open your mouth."

Ye Qing wanted to ask what this was, but when he spoke, he turned into a sentence: "I am..."

Before the word "come" was said, Xiao Jue's spoonful of medicine was already sent in the moment she opened her lips.

"If you drink this medicine, as long as you stop taking croton in the middle of the night, you will almost be cured tomorrow and you will not be able to give birth." Xiao Jue had no expression on his face when he said this.

Ye Qing was completely stunned. The dog emperor knew that she was pretending to be sick by eating croton?

Because he was cowardly, Ye Qing didn't dare to say a word. Xiao Jue fed her medicine, so she opened her mouth to drink it obediently.

The two finished feeding medicine in a strange atmosphere.

After feeding the medicine, Xiao Jue stared at Ye Qing for a while and said an answer in a positive tone: "The queen doesn't want to go to Mount Tai for Fengshan, are she afraid of something unexpected happening on the road?"

Ye Qing only felt that the dog emperor has become more and more strange recently, but her true feelings cannot be revealed. Ye Qing began to make a fuss: "I... I am afraid that this trip to Mount Tai is long and difficult..."

To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to follow the Dog Emperor and endure hardships.

Ye Qing felt that her labeling of herself as a spoiled and decent should make the dog emperor feel very frustrated with her.

After hearing this, Xiao Jue frowned and said, "Please."

Ye Qing: If you feel troubles, leave me behind quickly!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue's next sentence was: "I won't let you suffer, the queen will follow you with peace of mind."

The Dog Emperor's medicine was indeed effective, and she recovered the next day.

Ye Qing was pulled up by Zi Zhu to wash and dress up early in the morning, because she had to go from the entire capital from Huangji Gate in the morning, and she could not lose her dignity. The complicated phoenix robe at the bottom of the box was turned out to be replaced by Zi Zhu. She painted her face and put on a heavy makeup.

Ye Qing doesn't understand the heavy makeup aesthetic of this era very well. Her face was painted like a monkey's butt. I'm afraid her biological mother wouldn't recognize her.

After packing up, they took the phoenix chariot to Huangji Gate, and all the civil and military officials were waiting there.

This is the first time Ye Qing has seen such a grand scene as the royal family since he arrived in this world. I have to say that there are 5,000 guards accompanying this time.

She almost followed the dog emperor to make a formality in front of all civil and military officials, and then was fed into the carriage by the dog emperor.

On the way, she looked at the scenery of the capital through the carriage curtains. Since ancient times, Kyoto has been prosperous, and the same is true here.

I don’t know if it was a bad start, but the carriage broke down the next day on the way. The dog emperor thought it was too troublesome to repair the carriage, so he changed to a smaller one, but the comfort level was definitely no less than the previous carriage.

After changing the carriage, Ye Qing found that the guards they accompanied were missing, Xiao Jue was dressed like an ordinary young man, and the clothes Zi Zhu found for her were from folk women.

Ye Qing initially thought that the dog emperor was afraid of assassination and wanted to cover up his eyes and ears, but he didn't take it seriously.

Until their destination became Yangzhou, Ye Qing was not calm.

The Dog Emperor took a big turn. In fact, it was not for the purpose of Mount Tai, but for the place where the floods in Jiangnan occurred?

An Fu has always been with Xiao Jue. Perhaps in order to make the show more realistic, the dog emperor left An Fu directly in the convoy heading to Mount Tai.

The servant who accompanied him only brought a big man named Wang Jing, and only Zi Zhu served Ye Qing. The group of four went to Jiangnan, but they would not attract attention, but there was no guarantee of safety.

Ye Qing guessed that the Dog Emperor's secret guard might have followed him secretly.

He agreed to go to Mount Tai but came to Yangzhou. If she didn't ask, it would seem too strange. Ye Qing looked at the dog emperor sitting opposite the carriage: "Didn't Your Majesty say you go to Mount Tai for Fengshan?"

Xiao Jue leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest: "The queen doesn't want to go, so she won't go."

Ye Qing:...

Why is it her fault? She doesn’t want to go to Fengshan, Tai, because it has something to do with the dog emperor turning around and taking her to Jiangnan?

Suddenly an idea grew in Ye Qing's heart. Could it be that Fengshan, Taishan, was a cover at the beginning, and the dog emperor's real purpose was to go to Jiangnan! He insisted on bringing her with him to cover up his eyes and ears. After all, if he went to Fengshan alone, he might be suspected by the court officials, and taking her with him as a scoundrel would increase the credibility.

The Dog Emperor has worked so hard, this trip to Jiangnan is probably not easy.

Thinking of this, many suspicious points that she had overlooked before emerged. Xiao Jue is definitely not a foolish monarch. He knows better than anyone else about how much ability Ye Shangshu is. Even if he wants to suppress Yang Xiang, he has many people under his command. Why do he have to hand over this job to Ye Shangshu?

In the original work, the Dog Emperor did not go to Jiangnan in person, but now the Dog Emperor is obviously prepared and I don’t know how to solve the problem of Jiangnan floods.

"What is the queen thinking?" Xiao Jue suddenly spoke.

Ye Qing thought about the reaction he should have as a concubine at this moment, pretending to be moved: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding me and taking me to the south of Jiangnan to find my father."

Xiao Jue opened his eyelids lazyly, looked at her only, and closed it again.

Although the dog emperor didn't say a word, Ye Qing still felt his faint disgust.

Ye Qing was almost certain that if he spoke, he would definitely have another sarcastic word.

Is her acting skills not good enough? Ye Qing silently put away her face full of emotion.

The carriage is not very spacious. After she and the Dog Emperor were seated, Zi Zhu had to go out and squeeze into the guards who drove the Dog Emperor. Ye Qing wanted to talk to someone to relieve the embarrassment.

The carriage had been on the road for a while, and she didn't say a word to the dog emperor. Ye Qing was bored and opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out. His eyes were desolate.

I heard that Yangzhou City in Jiangnan should have been a wealthy place, but now it is impossible to see it at all. The official road is muddy, the trees on both sides are crooked, and some are uprooted.

It is not difficult to imagine what a horrible scene it was when it was flooded.

On the road, refugees who fled were occasionally seen, dressed in rags, cheeks were concave, and there was almost no glory in their eyes. Some were with their families and some were alone, and everyone's faces were numb and tired.

The closer you get to Yangzhou City, the more refugees you see on the road.

When they saw their carriage approaching, the refugees on the road automatically moved away. They may be tired of begging, or they may have been rejected on the road and just watched the carriage pass by numbly.

Ye Qing knew that the floods in Jiangnan would bring suffering to the local people, but what she saw with her own eyes was different. Before that, she had always regarded this place as a false world, so even if she knew about the floods, she didn't feel much in her heart. But at this moment, she seemed to suddenly realize that everything in this world was real, and that helplessness and sadness were a little lingering.

The air seems to be depressed.

A shrill cry was like a sharp knife that pierced the depression into a big hole, but more sadness and despair came in.

On the curve ahead, a ragged woman knelt on the ground, holding the child in her arms and crying heart-wrenchingly. When Ye Qing saw the child's hands hanging down beside her, she knew that her child was probably gone.

The woman's crying only attracted a few refugees to look at her, but no one went to comfort her, and everyone couldn't take care of herself.

Ye Qing suddenly felt suffocated.

Putting down the curtain, she closed her eyes hard, but the sourness and depression in her heart still couldn't get rid of it.

There are dry food on the truck, but it cannot be given. There are already many refugees here, and the dry food on their trucks is not enough. Some refugees have obtained dry food, while others have not. No one can guarantee what these refugees who are now dominated by instinct will do.

Xiao Jue opened his eyes at some point. Seeing Ye Qing like this, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. This woman didn't cause him any trouble.

"Your Majesty, has the imperial court's disaster relief food not been released yet?" Ye Qing couldn't help asking when he opened his eyes again.

They rushed to Yangzhou after a long journey. The Ye family’s rice and grain shop was handed over to the emperor before that, and the imperial court’s disaster relief food should not have arrived yet.

Xiao Jue's eyes were a little cold: "The memorandum of food and disaster relief banks arrived in Yangzhou has been sent back to the capital long ago."

The disaster relief grain and disaster relief silver have arrived in Yangzhou, so why do these refugees still seem to have not filled their stomachs for a few days?

If the people in the government still want to be greedy at this critical moment, they will really be blind.

But since they did this, there must be someone behind them. If you have this ability in the court, the only thing Ye Qing can think of is Yang Xiang.

It is still half a day to get to Lujiang, but it is already dark. The inns and restaurants along the way have already closed. It is estimated that the shopkeeper has also fled with his family.

They are planning to find a family to stay in the local area for one night.

When I passed by a high-gate mansion, I found a long queue of refugees outside the mansion. The mansion was closed, but the refugees had no intention of leaving. Some were lying under the eaves of other people's roofs, and some even lying directly on the street.

Xiao Jue sent Wang Jing to ask, and found out that the owner of the house was Liu Yuanwai, a famous charity in the town. Since the flood, Liu Yuanwai's mansion would open the door to serve porridge in the morning and evening, so in order to grab the porridge, these refugees lined up here sooner or later.

"Let's rest here tonight." Xiao Jue said.

Wang Jing responded and went to knock on the door.

The refugees blocked the door automatically gave in to him when they saw that he was dressed in decent clothes.

Wang Jing knocked twice, and the Zhuqi door opened. A servant looked at Wang Jinghe's carriage parked in front of the mansion. After hearing Wang Jing explain his purpose, he said, "Wait, I'll report to the master."

Soon, the servant brought a rich middle-aged man over, and it seemed that he was Mr. Liu.
