After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 129 Disaster
The butler responded immediately, "This old slave understands, master don't worry."

Afterwards, Mr. Sheng stayed in the study for the whole afternoon, and ordered people outside not to enter, saying that he wanted to be quiet.

When no one was there, he opened the box hidden deep in the shelf, took it out and opened it, took out a painting from inside, opened it, and the dead woman seemed to come back to life in the painting, her face was like jade.

It is especially similar to Sheng Baoling and Sheng Lang, and Sheng Gong's eyebrows are somewhat similar to them.

Looking at the woman in the portrait, he seems to have returned to the youthful years.

This is the eldest lady of the Sheng family, the younger sister of the first emperor, and the biological mother of Sheng Baoling and others.

The eldest princess, who was as gentle as water back then, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but her temper was getting tougher than the other.

The eldest son is stubborn, the daughter has her own opinions, and the younger son is most like his biological mother. His temper looks docile and docile, but his words and deeds are not like a Sheng family.

It seemed that he was just visiting Sheng's mansion, so alienated from his father.

Mr. Sheng sat at the table and looked at the portrait. After looking at it, it took an hour. He waited until someone knocked on the door and said that someone had come to the door. Then he put away the portrait.

...

At this time, the group of people heading south finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

The disaster here is serious, and the victims are all over the city, even on the streets, there are those who died of starvation, cold, and disease.

Looking at this scene, Sheng Baoling frowned, the capital Bianjing is prosperous, and the people of Song Dynasty are all blessed people.

But now, what she saw with her eyes was telling her how ridiculous her previous cognition was.

Living in Bianjing City, those high-ranking officials who are in high positions and enjoy the anointing of the people, have they ever thought about suffering in these invisible places.

Seeing this, Sheng Baoling felt uncomfortable, unable to speak, and felt distressed.

The little emperor and those people who want to get rid of Pei Ci, have they ever thought that if Pei Ci died on the way to rescue and investigate the case, and delay the disaster, how many people would die because of it...

In the face of public opinion, even if it is a personal grievance, let it go.

So, definitely not Mingjun.

Sheng Baoling was once again disappointed, and she couldn't even figure out why the self in her dream would put the little emperor in her heart like that because of what the late emperor said, and bothered to cultivate her.

In the end, Pei Ci was killed, and he was charged with rebellion, and there was no body left.

The light in Sheng Baoling's eyes dimmed instantly.

Aware of this, Pei Ci stretched out his hand, pulled the curtain out of her hand, put it away, and cut off everything outside, said in a deep voice, "Don't be uncomfortable, if you want to save, the most important thing is what is in front of you."

Arrangements for disaster relief are far more important than grieving for the victims.

First of all, it is to resettle the victims, second is to arrange the daily porridge distribution, and finally, it is related to the medical center.

After a catastrophe, people are most afraid of epidemics, especially when the corpses that can be seen everywhere are exposed on the street, so we must pay more attention.

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, "I understand."

Pei Ci and his party stayed in the posthouse in the city. The local county magistrate was so busy that he heard that the imperial envoy was coming, but he didn't even bother to meet him.

After hearing this, Sheng Baoling was quite comforted. This county magistrate is a conscientious parental officer.

The most feared thing in this disaster is to meet unscrupulous and corrupt officials, which will make the situation worse.

Fortunately, this one is not disappointing.

After waiting for no one for a long time, Pei Ci changed into clean clothes, and led the people out, talking with Sheng Baoling, and inspecting the people's conditions.

Sheng Baoling wanted to follow, but was stopped by Pei Ci, who only said to let her rest in the posthouse for a while.

The boat and the car are exhausted, and the body is tight.

Pei Ci was considerate, and Sheng Baoling didn't refuse, so he took advantage of the opportunity to stay in the post house.

The people below brought the food, which looked like meat and vegetables, but Sheng Baoling's face was gloomy and there was anger in his eyes, and Li Sheng who was on the side was also shocked when he saw it.

The disaster outside is like this, but in this post house for the officials of the DPRK and China, there are meat, vegetables and fine wine.

How to make people not think too much?
Sheng Baoling suddenly lost his appetite, couldn't eat a mouthful of food, only drank a few glasses of water, talked about headaches and feeling unwell, so he closed the door and fell asleep.

The food was also eaten by the subordinates who had been on the road for a few days.

Li Sheng was worried, but now that Pei Ci was inspecting outside, he was a subordinate, so what could he say, he could only watch outside the room.

When it was almost evening, Pei Ci and the two guards came back, and the footsteps approached.

Pei Ci glanced at the closed door, then at Li Sheng, "Inside?"

Li Sheng responded, and told about today's events again, the people below had prepared sumptuous dishes, when Sheng Baoling saw him, he lost his appetite and only drank a few glasses of water.

After that, I fell asleep in the house, and have not eaten until now.

It has been several hours, if I continue to be hungry, I am afraid that something will go wrong.

Pei Ci frowned, probably knowing where the problem was, so he ordered the people under him to cook a bowl of clear porridge with some side dishes.

When the porridge was served, Pei Ci had already changed into clean clothes. He had been busy outside all day and looked a little tired when he came back. Now that he had changed into clothes, he looked better.

Pei Ci ordered the people below to watch outside, and he brought the porridge and knocked on the door himself.

Sheng Baoling inside did not sleep as expected, and replied twice, "What's wrong?"

Pei Ci's voice was low, and he sounded a little tired, "I heard from the people below that you haven't eaten today, so I have someone prepare some porridge for you to share."

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Sheng Baoling was standing at the door, but at this time there were not so many people guarding the door, at this moment, apart from Li Sheng, there was only Pei Ci alone.

Pei Ci was holding porridge in his hand, two bowls of porridge, and a dish of side dishes. Although it looked light, it gave people some appetite.

Sheng Baoling turned sideways slightly, giving way to Pei Ci.

She never thought that one day, she would see Pei Ci standing in front of her with a meal, like an ordinary husband, standing at the door of his wife with a meal, coaxing loudly...

It wasn't until Pei Ci called her twice in the room that she realized that she had been thinking too much, and was immediately annoyed.

His fingers subconsciously rubbed his forehead.

Seeing Pei Ci, there was a look of worry in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have a headache?"

"May I invite the doctor to take a look?"

Could it be that you have been rushing all the way and haven't had a good rest, which is why you have a headache?
Or is it because you haven't eaten all day and your body is sick, that's why you have a headache?

Sheng Baoling shook his head, and sat down beside him, "It's an old problem, it will be fine after a while, it's okay."

Ever since she started having these dreams frequently, she has had frequent headaches.

After a long time, sometimes I feel used to it.

On the contrary, Jian Jia was so nervous that she called the imperial physician every time.

But at this moment, Pei Ci's expression looked a bit like Jian Jia.

Sheng Baoling thought to himself.
