The world is heavy and late

Chapter 71 False words
After buying some things, Xia Qing and Xu Zhong ate a bowl of wontons at the stall outside.

Xia Qing couldn't finish eating, so he scooped the remaining wontons into Xu Zhong's bowl.

Xu Zhong didn't even look at it, he just filled it up and ate it.

Xia Qing began to drink the soup slowly. There were shrimp skins in the soup, which was very delicious.

After eating, the two returned to Xu Zhong's house, which was very close to here.

After entering the house twice, Xia Qing and Xu Zhong walked around holding hands, and saw that many places had not been furnished yet.

Xia Qing pointed to the open space in the front and back yards and said, "Plant cherries in the front and apricot trees in the back."

Xu Zhong nodded and said, "How much?"

The two places are not small, but Xia Qing thought for a while and said, "Two trees are needed. We will grow vegetables or flowers in other places in the future."

Xu Zhong continued to nod.

After watching it, the two of them didn't talk any more. Today's scene really touched the two of them somewhat.

Before, one of them was numb and the other was stubborn. Even though they knew the suffering in the world, they still felt that it had nothing to do with them.

But it's different now, and this time the shock they brought was incomparably great.

Because this is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, it is not easy to resettle refugees, and the people are displaced, let alone other places.

The two of them leaned on the carriage, Xia Qing quietly leaned against Xu Zhong and stared at the void in a daze, Xu Zhong also looked very preoccupied.

The two of them sat until the palace gate was about to close before Xia Qing walked towards the palace gate step by step with the things in hand.

The gate of the palace is like the mouth of a gigantic beast. When it closes, it seems to swallow the people inside, no matter whether it is dead or alive, it is completely separated from the outside world.

She walked forward step by step. In fact, she thought that such a scene was no stranger to her. Why didn't she feel heartache before?
She prayed silently in her heart that the emperor's wheat seeds this time must be successful.

The emperor is also praying like this at this moment, and the refugees are pouring in. Of course, he, the emperor, knows it.

He said to Zhang Zhi, who was reporting the situation below: "Let the magistrate of Wannian County start resettlement. Don't pile up, or you may get an epidemic."

After Zhang Zhi went down, he looked at the void, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but felt that his face was getting uglier.

……

But at this moment, Xu Zhong was staring at the void, his face becoming more and more disappointed.

He is still different from Xia Qing, he is influenced by orthodox Confucianism, he has read books with his husband for seven years before entering the palace, and he has already learned the principles he should learn.

Looking at the miserable image of today, he closed his eyes in pain, unable to do anything.

in case……

After a long time.

Xu Zhong suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and turned over Liu Si's notebook.

The moonlight outside the window was very hazy, not clear at all.

A gust of wind ran in through the window, blowing up Xu Zhong's hanging belt, and also the paper that fell randomly on the ground.

Indistinctly, I can only see: I take a long breath to cover my tears, mourning the hardships of the people's lives.

……

Gu Weiyun saw that Xia Qing went out not very happy, and came back full of frustration and sadness.

He opened his mouth and asked in a somewhat uncomfortable tone: "But Xu Zhong isn't here?"

Xia Qing looked at Gu Weiyun and shook his head, then said softly, "Weiyun, I saw refugees outside the city."

Gu Weiyun also opened his eyes and said: "But I didn't hear that there was a natural disaster last year."

Xia Qing said: "Those who depend on the sky for their livelihood, even if things go a little bit wrong, the whole family may be hurt for a long time."

Gu Weiyun was also speechless.

She thought of the former tenants who couldn't do it and became long-term workers directly?

Or sell yourself into slavery, you have to live.

Xiang Cang heard it from the side and said, "It's actually normal to have refugees. In what year are there no refugees? Beauty and Aunt Xia Qing don't have to be so sad."

Then he said on the side: "These years are still good, if you look ahead, it's really a purgatory on earth."

Xia Qing was a little tired and went back to rest alone.

Leave behind two pairs of worried eyes.

Xia Qing didn't know how to explain to them that he was not frightened by this sight.

She just feels pity in her heart, but feels uncomfortable for doing nothing.

The next day, Xia Qing cheered up and got through every day.

She was going to send all the things for Sun Yu and Ji Ling, and asked Xiang Cang to distribute some gadgets to everyone.

Gu Weiyun also has it, a small gourd jade pendant.

Gu Weiyun was surprised: "Isn't this the same as the one you are carrying?"

Xia Qing said: "It's different, mine was given to me by my father-in-law to protect me."

Then he glanced at the one in Gu Weiyun's hand, held back a smile and said, "This is for you to beg for a child."

Gu Weiyun was a little surprised, what does sending gourds have to do with begging for a child?She didn't quite understand, but when she saw Xia Qing's eyes, she hummed lightly, but she put it on anyway.

Xia Qing straightened her face and said to the gourd with a straight face: "You have to come out as soon as possible, you know, otherwise your mother will be taken away by the snake spirit."

Gu Weiyun: It's very inexplicable.

But Xia Qing had already left, so Xia Qing went first to bring the colored thread and rouge to Sun Yu and the others.

Although Sun Yu didn't ask for anything, she also brought her some rouge, and Sun Yu was very happy to receive it. As for the two of them wanting to give her money, she waved her hand.

The two of them didn't insist on it. This kind of thing always came back and forth, and the division was so clear that they lost their friendship.

Xia Qing also stopped by to visit Lou Sizheng.

Maybe it was because the pictures I watched yesterday were too shocking, Xia Qing didn't want to see the dogs in the palace.

So He and Lou Sizheng said directly after seeing the ceremony: "Sizheng may tell me about that little maid."

Lou Si was a little surprised. Seeing the conversation between the two that day, she thought that Xia Qing was not the kind of person who would ask questions again, after all, she had spoken so clearly.

Seeing Lou Sizheng's expression, Xia Qing naturally knew what Lou Sizheng was thinking, so he said, "How long does Sizheng think the Sixth Division can exist?"

No matter how many times Lou Sizheng has seen it, he is still a little surprised at this moment. He dares to say such words, and he is not afraid of His Majesty...

She was a little angry in her heart, thinking that Xia Qing was really brave, and she didn't know the slightest bit of etiquette.

Xia Qing took the opportunity of Lou Sizheng to speak, and continued: "Lou Sizheng doesn't think that the Sixth Division is only established by His Majesty, as long as he doesn't get involved in the affairs of those concubines, he can keep safe?"

Lou Sizheng couldn't bear it any longer, sat up and said, "Presumptuous, I'm afraid you haven't woken up today..."

Xia Qing didn't care what she said at all, she had already figured out Lou Sizheng's character after the two meetings.

But she is a person who is wise and protects herself, so it depends on whether she can protect herself in the current situation.

Then he said: "Why didn't Lou Sizheng think about why His Majesty established the Sixth Division? Because he thinks women are more reliable? Haven't you ever thought about why the emperor gave the harem to the Sixth Division instead of Shu?" Concubine, Cui Jieyu and others, Si Zheng thinks that they are not well taken care of?"

This series of questions confused Lou Sizheng, she really wanted to reprimand Xia Qing for her outrageous words, and she really wanted to tell herself that these were just her bewitching words, so she couldn't listen carefully.

But she gradually remembered that when the emperor founded the Sixth Division, the court was full of voices from the queen, and most of the harem listened to Concubine Shu and Cui Jieyu...

These thoughts can't be eliminated once they are born, and they have been circling in my mind all the time.

Can I really avoid the fights of these concubines?
While she was still thinking about it, Xia Qing said in a bewitching voice: "Lou Sizheng, don't you want Liu Si to go further? Didn't your majesty say that Liu Si only obeys the queen? Don't you want to get rid of the shackles of other concubines? ?”

"When the time comes when Lou Si is in the palace, all he needs to do is look at the queen's face."

Lou Si was short of breath, she turned her head to look at Xia Qing, and found that Xia Qing was staring at her steadily, the light in his eyes could burn people, and his face was full of determination.

She slowly exhaled two breaths and said: "Followed to Zhongcui Palace, but it was too easy."

Xia Qing leaned back and said directly to Lou Sizheng, "Then it seems to be Cui Jieyu."

How many people in the palace dare to scheme against Concubine Shu?
At this point, Lou Si no longer wanted to hide anything, and said directly: "I don't know, I didn't see the shadow, either Concubine Shu is really dying, or Cui Jieyu is too deep."

Of course Xia Qing wanted to believe the former, but with such a clear fact in front of her, she could only believe the latter.

After getting the answer, she bid farewell to Lou Sizheng.

Lou Sizheng waved her hand tiredly, she felt that she must be bewitched, but seeing Xia Qing about to go out, she still asked: "Xia Qing, is what you just said true?"

Xia Qing didn't turn his head, but raised his head and glanced at Tiandao: "Si Zheng, Xia Qing never dares to speak half a lie."

Then he turned his head slowly, looked at Lou Sizheng with burning eyes, and said, "Our purpose has been the same from the very beginning."

"Lou Sizheng, in the palace, no one can protect only himself."

Lou Si was sitting on the couch blankly, watching Xia Qing walk away, she slightly raised her head and glanced at the sky.

Suddenly remembered the past a long time ago, what was he doing when he first entered the palace for a year?
Anyway, definitely not the case.

　I think the friends who can read this chapter should already know the identity of the hero, but because this question was the most asked by the cuties before, so I want to tell you for sure: Yes, our hero The Lord is a genuine father-in-law (Piercing the last trace of fantasy hahaha.)
　　As for why I want to explain in this chapter, although the protagonist of this chapter is not Xu Zhong, he has the most fundamental charm that I first gave to this character: taking a deep breath to cover up his tears, mourning the hardships of people's lives.
