The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 178 I've seen him
Xiao Yu originally wanted to say no to eating, but she didn't eat much in the restaurant. After noon, she was indeed a little hungry now, so she was not polite to Hua Ye, and reached out to take it: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Hua Ye smiled and said nothing.

As soon as Xiao Yu took a bite, the person on the couch opened her eyes with a groan. For a moment, Xiao Yu suspected that she was awakened by the smell of steamed stuffed buns.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the beams above her head, obviously not yet recovered.

"Mom, you're awake!"

When He Qiu saw his mother woke up, he excitedly put down the steamed stuffed bun, and said to Hua Ye, "Brother, you really didn't lie to me! Mom really woke up!"

Hua Ye nodded, "Big brother won't lie."

Lin He on the side: "..."

He pursed his lower lip and lowered his head silently.

The woman's eyes slowly focused, and finally she was completely awake. She struggled to sit up, and leaned against the corner to look at Xiao Yu and the others: "Who are you?"

Xiao Yu and Hua Ye were sitting, they were not ordinary people in their attire, Lin He and Han Yi stood behind them, she reckoned that they were the attendants of the two nobles, their attitude was obviously respectful and cautious.

Xiao Yu explained: "You don't have to be nervous, just now you passed out on the street, he asked the guards to send you to the hospital, and he paid for it."

The woman looked at Hua Ye, she was so grateful that she wanted to get down to salute, Hua Ye hurriedly waved her hands: "Madam please sit down, you don't have to, you are still sick."

"This is the steamed stuffed bun that I asked my staff to buy. You need to pad your stomach first. The medicine will be ready in a while. You can drink it while it's hot. You'll be fine when the fever subsides."

"Thank you son, I am very grateful."

The woman kept thanking her, and reached out to take the bun, her eyes were red.

"Mother, don't cry, this bun is delicious, eat it quickly!"

He Qiu pushed the woman's hand and urged.

The woman looked at her sadly, tears streaming down her face.

Xiao Yu was puzzled: "Why is Madam so sad? There is nothing wrong with your health, but you are not full enough. In the future, it will not be a problem to find a handicraft job in the capital to support you mother and daughter."

The woman sighed, and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "Young master, I don't know. My family name is Lan, and my hometown is in the south. I used to live quite well. Unfortunately, there was a famine this year, and the heavy rain flooded the village. My family has nothing to do." I had nowhere to go, so I had to go to Beijing to join my distant cousins, but I didn’t know that they had already moved away, and my family was empty, and there was nowhere to stay in the capital, so I could only temporarily live in an inn.”

She sniffed: "The inns in Kyoto are not cheap. Seeing that the money is getting less and less, I have to go out to find work, and my purse was robbed..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't hold back her tears: "At that time, a kind-hearted man who passed by rescued me. Seeing that my family was crying pitifully, he gave the last bit of money I had on my body to my family. That benefactor is... …It’s the people in the alley just now!”

She couldn't cry and choked up several times, but Xiao Yu and Hua Ye still understood that she knew the beggar in the alley!
The two looked at each other, both a little surprised, they didn't expect that there would be unexpected rewards for saving people!
Xiao Yu handed her the handkerchief in his bosom, "My condolences, ma'am, the dead cannot be brought back to life, but you can avenge him. Tell me something about him, maybe you can help us catch the murderer."

"you……"

Madam Lan looked at Xiao Yu hesitantly, then at Hua Ye, "Who are you, can you really catch the murderer?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "I am the Prince Regent, Xiao Yu."

Mrs. Lan took a deep breath, then knelt on the couch and kowtowed to her, and kept saying: "My lord, the women have seen my lord, I beg my lord to learn from you, and give justice to my benefactor! He is such a good person, he doesn't deserve to die." I don’t know why! I beg the prince to forgive me!”

"mother……"

With Madam Lan's posture, He Qiu shrank away in fright, and looked at Xiao Yu anxiously.

Xiao Yu got up and helped Mrs. Lan: "Madam, there is no need to be like this. Since this king has encountered such a murder case, he will naturally not sit idly by. I also ask Madam to explain the matter clearly, which will also help my king investigate the case."

"Okay, I will definitely know everything!"

Madam Lan straightened up, and Xiao Yu stuffed the steamed stuffed bun: "Let's eat first, don't be in a hurry."

"Yes, my lord said so."

Mrs. Lan ate the buns bite by bite, and soon shared them with He Qiu.

After she was full, she couldn't wait to say: "That day when I was walking in the alley, a gangster robbed me of my purse. When I chased him out, the gangster had already disappeared. Engong happened to pass by, and he was out of breath when he saw me crying. Angry, I asked curiously..."

……

"Come back—give me back my purse! Please, it's all my net worth, and I still have a daughter who is less than five years old to raise! Please—"

Madam Lan leaned on the wall and cried so heartbroken. People passing by pointed and pointed at her, but no one helped her to stop the robber.

She watched the man disappear into the crowd, her eyes dimmed a little bit, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomore

She slipped a little bit and sat in the corner, hiccupping from crying.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? What made you so sad? It's freezing cold, you sit on the ground like this, the cold enters your body, be careful to fall ill."

Hearing the man's gentle voice, Mrs. Lan couldn't help but looked up. Through her teary eyes, she saw a man in white robe standing in front of her. He was tall and tall, with a cloth scarf wrapped around his head, dressed like a scholar.

As he spoke, the heat came out of his mouth, blurring his face, but Mrs. Lan could still see the smile on his lips.

She felt more and more wronged in her heart, and she couldn't help lamenting: "I went to Beijing to join relatives, but they couldn't find them, and I didn't have much money, so I had to come out to find a job to support my daughter, but I didn't expect that I just walked through this alley. The squatting beggar suddenly jumped up, snatched my purse, turned around and ran away, I couldn't catch up with him, the purse contained all my wealth..."

Madam Lan's eyes were already swollen badly. She looked at her hands and choked, "I haven't found a job, and I've lost all my money. What can my daughter do?"

The scholar paused, seeing how pitiful she was, he took out a washed and whitish money bag from his arms and handed it to her: "Don't cry, I'll give you my money, you take the child to find a place settle down."

Mrs. Lan was stunned, and looked up at him in disbelief: "How can that be done? You don't get paid for nothing, and your son's money belongs to your son. How can I get it?"

"Take it, I don't need it anymore."

"what?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, the scholar took her hand and put the purse in her palm, then took a step back, cupped his hands, and said modestly, "Madam, take care, and I will leave."

Madam Lan watched him go away, feeling the weight in her palm, her vision blurred again.
