Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 689 Xi'er's Mother
Seeing Feng looking at her eagerly, wanting to know what happened to her son, Liu Yunxiang stopped talking and went back to Xi'er.

This girl was holding on to the fence, her eyes were rolling around, and she wanted to join in the fun.

"Sister Liu, do you know the sister in the cell next door?"

Liu Yunxiang said helplessly, "This is a death row."

"I know."

"You are not afraid?"

The little girl shook her head, "I'm not afraid, my mother will definitely save me."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Your mother?"

The little girl scratched her head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mother didn't let me talk nonsense outside, anyway, Sister Liu doesn't have to worry about me."

When leaving, Liu Yunxiang went to the next door to take a look at Feng Shi again, she opened the door and looked at her beggingly.

Liu Yunxiang still didn't say anything about her son's situation, but said: "Whether Xiao Wu was killed by you, and what happened that day, you should think about it. When I come over, you'd better tell the truth. Can you Reunite with your son, but let's see if you take the chance."

After leaving the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yunxiang went back to the alley, opened the door and went in, Jinyan saw her running out of the house.

"Girl, Miss Xi'er's mother is here."

Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled, and then followed Jinyan into the hall, and saw a woman in a purple cotton beige, a belt of the same color around her waist, her hair coiled up, and wrapped in a gray cloth scarf sitting on a chair.

There was a big burden at her feet, and the big knife beside her.Hearing the movement, the woman turned her head, and Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up.

This woman is very beautiful, not arrogant, but heroic and comfortable.Although there are wrinkles on his face, he looks very energetic, and his eyebrows are very similar to Xi'er.

The woman stood up, looked Liu Yunxiang up and down first, and then clasped her fists in salute.

"You are the princess of Zhenbei, right?"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly returned the gift, "Yes, you are Miss Xi'er's mother?"

The woman nodded, "My name is An."

"Aunt An."

Liu Yunxiang called out politely, then walked into the hall and sat down on the seat next to him.She glanced at the huge luggage at the woman's feet again, and asked, "Who is this?"

"I originally planned to take this girl, Xi'er, to go north to Beijin. Before leaving, she sneaked away and left me a letter, saying that she would give her half a month and she wanted to save some children. This Less than half a month later, I went to the city to find her."

"Then how did you know she was here?"

"Xi'er told me that the princess is a good person. He sold Yuchai to her at a loss and helped save a few children in the Shannian Camp. I thought you might have news about her, so I went to the Lingyun Grain Shop , your buddies sent me here."

So that was the case, Liu Yunxiang nodded clearly, "Then you probably don't know about her being imprisoned, do you?"

The woman frowned, "Is she in jail?"

Liu Yunxiang told Aunt An not to worry, and then told her in detail what happened before and after.

After hearing this, Aunt An slapped the table angrily, "Damn girl, tell her not to cause trouble during this time, she won't listen!"

This palm looked like it didn't use much force, and the movement was not big, but there was a crack in the corner of the table.

"It's really itchy, I'll give her a good beating later on!"

Liu Yunxiang swallowed, "She, she also wanted to help those children..."

"Help people only if you have the ability. Does she have that ability?"

"This……"

"Did she implicate you?"

"I can't say that. I also want to help those children."

Aunt An thought for a while, then turned her head and asked Liu Yunxiang: "What's the situation in the Shannian Camp, Princess Lao, please tell me."

The outside world really doesn't know what's going on in the Kindness Camp, but she told Aunt An, how can she help.

It's just that when she asked, Liu Yunxiang still said everything.

This Aunt An is dressed very plainly, like a peasant woman, but Liu Yunxiang always feels that she is like an expert who hides everything.

After listening to what Liu Yunxiang said, Aunt An frowned even tighter.

"Isn't the imperial court harming people's lives!"

Liu Yunxiang was taken aback by this bold statement, but fortunately, in her home, the partition wall should have no ears.

"Miss Xi'er has a chivalrous spirit. She wanted to save those dozen or so children, but she ended up like this."

Aunt An rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, "I have to let my mother save her!"

As she spoke, she actually raised the big knife that was placed beside her.

"You don't mean to go..."

Prison, right?
"You better think twice."

As soon as Liu Yunxiang said this, she saw Aunt An picking up the knife, and then bent down to pick up the big burden.

"Princess stay here."

After finishing speaking, Aunt An walked out briskly with the luggage that looked like a hill on her back.

Liu Yunxiang came back to her senses, and hurriedly chased her out to see her off, but Aunt An walked in a rush, so she only caught up with her back, and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.

Zijin looked adoring, "This Aunt An must be a master of martial arts!"

One day later, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire, but they only said that Xi'er had been released, and didn't say anything else.

After Liu Yunxiang heard this, although she couldn't guess the identity of Aunt An, she must be very important.

The fourth prince, Qin Shengrui, took over the Shannian camp. As soon as he took over, he ordered people to strengthen the wall, and sent additional people to arrest escaped people in the city. At that time, they twisted into a rope and rushed out.The officers and soldiers clashed with the people inside, and dozens of people were killed or injured on both sides.

The more sleepy and chaotic the city became, the more difficult it was to manage. The law and order in the city became worse and worse, and the people complained.

"He started out with tough tactics, but now he has turned to a soft strategy." The old prince poured a cup of tea first and then said.

When the old prince put down his teacup, Liu Yunxiang poured him another cup.

"How do you feel soft?"

"He set up a porridge shed outside the Shannian camp, boiled several large pots of fragrant and glutinous rice, steamed more than a dozen baskets of large white steamed buns, and promised those who escaped from the Shannian camp that as long as they come back, they will not be counted. Compared with what happened before, I can still eat as much as I want. In the future, I will be able to eat three meals a day in the Shannian camp." The old prince stroked his beard in satisfaction.

"so good?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"Can someone go back?"

"At present, the doors of the common people are closed, and the shops are also closed. These escaped people are also starving and freezing, and have no way to survive. Although they don't believe in the court, they are hungry, and they still go back. I The officers and soldiers did not make any trouble when they saw that they had received porridge and steamed buns, were full, and then went back. So within three days, the others who escaped would also go back."

Earlier, she had donated a hundred shi of grain, which was distributed to the people in the Shannian camp under the supervision of the old prince.But one hundred shi of grain is far from enough. If it is true what Qin Shengrui said, the imperial government will provide relief to the Shannian camp, and feed them three meals a day, then they will need tens of thousands of shi of grain to survive this winter.

Does the court have one?

The imperial court did not!

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a while, and said: "Could it be that this is a trap, just to catch those who escaped back? Once they are caught back, the relief will be cut off?"

The old prince stared wide-eyed, "He is a prince, representing the court, so he doesn't mean nothing, right?"

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, "In short, this matter must not be simple."
