Due to her previous shyness, Hu Xiao had returned to her own room early.

His actions just now were too rash, even the arrogant and despotic Hu Xiao did not know how to face the imperial court officials. Although the people had already retreated, she still felt embarrassed after thinking about it.

At this time, Hu Xiao could not stand to watch the screen, and blankly stared at the screen behind him for a long time. Hu Xiao pushed it to the ground, and really wanted to jump up and stomp on it a few more times.

In the end, the empress was the one who stopped him.

"Zhi Lan, where did His Majesty go?"

Thinking for a while, Hu Xiao asked.

Just now when the officials had already left, Qin Shuo would not be going to see Xue Mier, right? What a fickle monarch!

"Reporting to the Empress, His Majesty has gone out. She said that she wants to see the people who have suffered from disasters and see just what happens."

Thinking about what he had said to Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao's heart became anxious, and he anxiously ran out the door. Qin Shuo could not go see the victims, the citizens were extremely unsettled, if they knew that Qin Shuo was the emperor of the East Court, they would definitely attack Qin Shuo!

Qin Shuo had only learned a few moves from Zhao Qiyan, against so many people, he would definitely suffer! He was extremely worried, and even his footsteps were extremely fast, causing Zhi Lan to be unable to catch up.

Before she even stepped out of the door, she saw a familiar figure. Hu Xiao thought for a bit, then jumped onto the wall, her eyes looking at the small pavilion in the center of the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, what the Minister Wen said is extremely true. Your Majesty should retreat, the emotions of the people affected by the Sui City are very unstable, what if Your Majesty were to ruin the safety of the dragon's body here?"

The one who spoke was Yin Fufeng, but Yin Fufeng's words did not please him at all.

With a crisis looming, how could Qin Shuo, as the ruler of a nation, leave?

When she could not continue listening, she originally thought that Yin Fufeng should not be like this. Hu Xiao did not think further as she turned and flew down the pavilion.

When sensed something, he was already standing in front of the two of them.

"I had thought that the Master Yin was a good official who worried about the nation, but who would have thought that at this time, the Master Yin would ignore the title of Master Gu, and actually think of evacuating. It really disappointed me."

He originally wanted to greet Hu Xiao, but who knew that Hu Xiao would actually say these words with an embarrassed face!

Yin Fufeng immediately retracted the smile on his face, Hu Xiao's words were too rude!

"What do you mean, Queen? Don't the Empress know my way of doing things? Empress heard a few words just now? What did you know? "You want to insult me like this?"

Hu Xiao was overbearing, naturally, she was also unwilling to retreat, the battle of saliva on the verge of breaking out.

"Impudent!" Yin Fufeng is an official under the imperial government, how can you, a harem woman, have the time to lower yourself to such a level! "

Just as he was about to speak, Hu Xiao, who was dragged behind by him a moment ago, suddenly shouted loudly.

It was not that Hu Xiao did not know how much Yin Fufeng had helped his, but it was bad for her. He was too excited to say anything, and immediately regretted it.

"Yes, mine is a woman's benevolence. Is your action of abandoning the people benevolence and righteousness? Laughable! "

The more excited they became, the more Hu Xiao felt the same way. Yes, if not for her insistence on making a trip to Sui City, even if they knew that the people of Sui City were suffering, they would have remained indifferent!

"Empress, you are wrong. I believe the two of us have already seen how unstable the emotions of the citizens of Sui City are today. After the citizens found out that you were the Empress, did they become more and more irritable? If the Empress was so unpopular with the commoners, then why would they say that His Majesty is the son of the heavens of East Court? If it were not for the fact that Empress is powerful, the two of us might have died in the hands of the commoners. "

Looking at Hu Xiao, Yin Fufeng slowly said. You and I are both people with such insignificant East Court, but Your Majesty is different. If there were no His Majesty in this world, wouldn't it be a huge mess? Empress, it is not wrong for you to speak from the point of view of a commoner, but the fault is that you, being too considerate of the commoners, do not care about the safety of His Majesty at all! "

As to why he said that, Yin Fufeng also had a grudge in his heart. Although Yin Fufeng was a little harsh on his words, every single word he said made sense and Hu Xiao was actually unable to refute him.

Living in this modern age, one must pay with their life, so basically no one dared to take the lives of others, but it was different now. Although there were officials controlling it, the commoners who had suffered for over a month couldn't care so much!

No one replied for a long time. Originally, no one wanted Hu Xiao to say anything more to make the two of them refute his words. However, Hu Xiao's next words truly stunned the two of them.

"Do we have to abandon the people like this?"

His voice was not as angry as before, but it was filled with helplessness, and the heartache he had was actually causing Qin Shuo and Yin Fufeng to not know how to reply.

How could he not care? Sui City was also a part of the East Court, and they were Qin Shuo's citizens, but how should he care!

Just now, the two of them were thinking about how to handle this matter, but were interrupted by Hu Xiao, even if they did not interrupt, they would not be able to come to a conclusion.

In the morning, Hu Xiao let the soldiers build the simple shed, and the royal doctors already sat down inside. The purpose of it was to treat the people who were affected with the virus for free, each of them had a yellow and skinny face, and would inevitably bring with them illnesses, the most important part being that the refugees were afraid that someone might have an infectious disease, because if that happened, the citizens would be killed.

"The empress is right, I shouldn't have left now. Even if I had to leave now, I would have had to wait until the commoners were settled. But how should I settle the commoners? What are the empress's views?"

Looking at the Hu Xiao who was deep in thought, Qin Shuo said lightly.

His expression was still as cold as before, but when he looked at Hu Xiao, it hid a hint of gentleness.

"Actually, I do have a method. Your majesty and Master Yin, why don't you listen for a bit."

The two of them heard and looked at Hu Xiao, they thought for a long time, but did not know what to do, for Hu Xiao had a way? Qin Shuo could not help but recall what Hu Xiao had told him not long ago, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

This time, the natural disaster is mainly a drought, causing the citizens to be unable to harvest any crops, there is a river 500 kilometers away from the inner Sui City, but the water source is just there. If we were to draw in a river from the river to the Sui City, wouldn't that solve the problem of the drought? Furthermore, it seems that there are some problems with the people's agriculture in the Sui City. It just so happens that I know a little about it. "
