Chapter 206 I'll Only Ask You This Once

Even without Biwu, Su Mianyue did not avoid contact with Wanyan Lin. Along the way, there was only one woman, Su Mianyue. Let Han Zezhong and his people confirm that Wanyan Lin and Su Mianyue had an impure relationship. Su Mianyue noticed Han Zezhong's disdain for her, but she was too lazy to care. There was no intention of avoiding suspicion.

As a woman from a civilized era, Su Mianyue did not feel that there was anything wrong with her actions. Her relationship with Wanyan Lin was more like a buddy, but Wanyan Lin Prince Xiang had a dream.

Since Han Zezhong had avoided the court's eyes and ears to find Wanyan Lin, he naturally could not pretend to go back to Imperial Capital, so a group of people in the name of a caravan was the most suitable. As for the guards, they were subordinates of Wanyan Lin. With all their effort, they were not afraid to meet those who wanted to rob the property.

It was only when the procession reached tongxian, Guangling, that Su Mianyue's heart was stabbed.

This county, which was said to have reached the level of a well-off society, was now a barren, treeless, withered tree, and people digging for grass roots everywhere.

Many places were dug up to half a meter deep, but there was still not a single crop that could satisfy the hunger. Some children were so hungry that they cried and could even see some poor people burying the starving people in the pits.

At the gate of the city, there were many old and weak people, but the gate was tightly closed. There were archers on the wall ready, but the tip of the arrow was aimed at these innocent people.

There were so many carriages in the procession that the starving people would be tempted to move, but the people brought by Wanyan Lin were full of murderous spirit. The number of people was more than 50 and equipped with swords. No one wanted to come and die.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that the food for the disaster relief has been distributed?" Su Mianyue looked at Wanyan Lin with a frown. Seeing that he was frowning too, he shifted his gaze to Han Zezhong. If he could come to Wanyan Lin from Imperial Capital, he would have passed by, but there was no unusual emotion along the way.

Han Zezhong sighed, knowing that this little trick could not be hidden from these two, but Su Mianyue's reaction gave him a high look, a woman who could truly worry about the common people, even if there was some dark history, it was still possible to reward a concubine. When someone objected, he would definitely mediate.

Fortunately, Su Mianyue didn't know what Han Zezhong was thinking, or he would have laughed three times and knocked him out with one punch.

Would Su Mianyue value the status of a concubine if she didn't even do it with the real queen? Even if she did not marry in this life, Su Mianyue would never be willing to be a concubine.

"Guangling had been plagued by drought for many years, and the people lived on grass and trees. Before this, the rioters had risen. Fourth Prince wanyan lei had conquered the area and ordered the local rich gentry to donate food to relieve the people's anxiety. However, Fourth Prince suddenly withdrew from several central prefectures before the end of the month, and the people living in the refugee camps were driven out of the city. However, it was difficult to find a place for grass and trees during the rest of the month. No one in these states dares to pass by now." At this point, Han Zezhong could not hide the pain in his eyes.

Although Han Zezhong did not say anything more, su mianyue understood what he meant. The court did not care whether these people were alive or dead.

But Su Mianyue's people were all in the border area, so she didn't know much about the situation here, at least the truth was much more serious than she knew.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mianyue sneered and said, "When old han went to Nanyu Town, he must have suffered a lot, right?"

Han Zezhong looked up, not understanding why Su Mianyue suddenly asked this question, but feeling that Su Mianyue's mocking expression left him speechless, he could only nod.

"The emperor was confused and did not care about the lives and deaths of the people. Even if there was no invasion from other places, such a river and mountain could not be Changzhi. And Fourth Prince's withdrawal indicated that he was unwilling to take over, or could not take over such a mess, so old man han would go out of the mountain and ask Seventh Prince to go back to beijing, but this?" Su Mianyue sneered and was ashamed of Han Zezhong's little thought.

At the same time, he also felt unworthy for Wanyan Lin. He was the legitimate prince of the royal family. He should have been the glory of his life, but he had suffered from hardships since he was young.

Wanyan Lin pursed her lips and let Su Mianyue say something that was not suitable for him.

Naturally, he was unhappy with Han Zezhong's plan, but it was also one of his plans. He couldn't say anything to Su Mianyue and didn't want her to know the hard side of his heart.

"Why does Elder Han think Seventh Prince should shoulder so much for your country? Just because he's Seventh Prince? Even though he had enjoyed the glory and wealth of the royal family, he had almost died because of his royal identity and had been humiliated for more than a decade. When did the people of the Hengyuan think about the prince who was in a foreign country to protect the country, how did the child who was only a few years old survive? Did someone think about saving the innocent him? Elder Han did not put all the blame on Prince Regent. Could it be that without Prince Regent, no one among the ministers and the people would have responded to such a request and asked him to sacrifice? After years of enjoyment, he had already paid back when he silently donated so much material to the Hengyuan. He was now just a businessman. What did the rise and fall of the Hengyuan have to do with him?" Su Mianyue questioned sternly.

Han Zezhong looked at Su Mianyue with a complicated expression. She had just thought that she was a kind woman who could not bear the suffering of the common people, but now it seemed that she only cared about Seventh Prince, who in the end thought highly of the woman's heart.

Glaring at Han Zezhong, Su Mianyue turned to Wanyan Lin and asked unhappily, "I will only ask you this once. Are you willing to devote your life to a country that has never seen your life and death in its eyes?"

Pursing her lips tightly, Wanyan Lin only looked deeply at Su Mianyue, but did not answer her question.

With a cold snort, Su Mianyue said angrily, "Since I promised to be your right hand, I will not slip my tongue. Since you are willing to be a fool, I will accompany you to be a fool."

With that said, Su Mianyue lifted the curtain to stop the coachman and quickly jumped out of the carriage.

Staring at Su Mianyue's straight and slender back, Wanyan Lin had a flash of inspiration.

After spending so much time with Su Mianyue, Wanyan Lin knew that Su Mianyue had a kind heart. At least she had always been kind to the innocent people, and she was willing to do her part for them even if she lost her family.

However, in order to make han zezhong more supportive of him, Su Mianyue did not hesitate to say those words in a disgraceful manner. How could Wanyan Lin not be moved?

The heart, like a dusty guqin, could no longer be kept in a corner after being plucked open, and Su Mianyue was the one who played it.

After getting off the carriage, Su Mianyue felt much more relaxed, but his heart became heavier.

Su Mianyue found himself slacking off in the past few years as he looked at himself with numb eyes at the people who had been emaciated because they had been unable to satiate for a long time. What he had done in the past was the tip of the iceberg. Helping people was purposeful, but he ignored so many disadvantaged people who depended on heaven for food.

"Listen, everyone. Seventh Prince knows that your days are hard. Today, we have prepared rice and porridge for everyone in an hour. Everyone has a share. Those who have the strength should hurry up and inform your family and friends. Not only today, but as long as Seventh Prince has a silver or two in his hand, he won't let everyone go hungry." Su Mianyue used his inner strength to shout to ensure that the people could hear him and officially announce Wanyan Lin's identity to the public.

Simple and high-profile, Su Mianyue saved the lives of the people and shouted to the two men in charge of the Hengyuan, Wanyan Lin is back!
