Chapter 333

"But why don't you explain to your majesty? Your majesty will understand if she knows.

Now it's an extraordinary time. If there is a real rift between your majesty and your mother, I'm afraid that Princess Li will really be made queen... "Zhen'er was very worried and kept muttering.

Whenever she sees such a misunderstanding between Liu Ruyan and lianchengming, zhen'er is always sad. However, she is worried and can't say anything.

But in the twinkling of an eye, he saw that Liu Ruyan's hand exuded fine blood, and the wound seemed to be cut deeply, so he suddenly shouted in surprise: "empress, you..."

"Why are you so careless!" zhen'er said angrily. She quickly turned back and called the servant girl outside to come in. When she got the wound medicine, zhen'er helped Liu Ruyan sit down on the Kang and helped Liu Ruyan sprinkle some medicine powder on the wound.

Those powders seeped into the wound, and the fine pain was like someone cutting your heart. Liu Ruyan couldn't help biting his lower lip: "hiss" and took a breath of cold air.

Knowing that Liu Ruyan was worried about something just now, zhen'er couldn't help blaming her for being talkative.

Help Liu Ruyan to wrap up the wound, then get up and say to Liu Ruyan, "what else does your mother have to eat? Look, she hasn't eaten much just now. It's better for you to help her make a bowl of soup."

Liu Ruyan nodded. Without objection, zhen'er went down immediately.

When she came back, zhen'er saw a servant girl standing on Liu Ruyan's side and helping Liu Ruyan wear clothes.

"Empress, are you going to... Leave the palace?" zhen'er asked in surprise as she looked at Liu Ruyan and changed her concubines' clothes, which looked like ordinary people's clothes.

But Liu Ruyan quarreled with Lian Chengming just now. If he leaves the palace at this time, Lian Chengming will know. I'm afraid something will happen again.

Zhen'er moved her mouth and wanted to persuade her for a few words. Then she saw that Liu Ruyan was ready and turned back to zhen'er and said, "come with you."

"This..." zhen'er hung her head helplessly. What Liu Ruyan had decided could not be easily changed. Seeing Liu Ruyan's eyes, zhen'er knew that it was useless to say anything. She could not let Liu Ruyan go out of the palace alone.

Now countless refugees are pouring into the capital. It's a restless time outside. I'm afraid that zhen'er will be worried to death if Liu Ruyan goes out alone.

"Empress, wait for slaves!" zhen'er shouted quickly and raised her feet to keep up with Liu Ruyan.

They sat in a sedan chair all the way out of the palace. When they passed the palace gate, Liu Ruyan showed his waist token and easily left the palace.

The carriage bumped all the way out of the palace. Liu Yueyan raised the curtain on the carriage and poked out his head to look at the situation outside.

Seeing that Liu Ruyan was serious, zhen'er couldn't help looking out, and was frightened by the scene outside.

In the past, although there were beggars begging along the streets in the capital, they were always under the feet of talent. Although there were beggars, they were only a few, and most of them had no family and no skills.

There are many nobles in the capital. Only a little begging can make them meet their daily food and clothing. Therefore, these beggars are also fed by the nobles in the capital.

But now the number of beggars in the capital has more than doubled, and there are even women with children. These children are seven or eight years old, small ones are still in swaddling clothes, and one year old ones are all yellow and skinny, leaving only a pair of skin and bones.

Bony, it looks pathetic.

The number of these people is not a small number. The markets along the street were originally bustling, but now they are inevitably occupied. Many refugees go to the stalls to beg, ranging from being expelled to being beaten.

Even if a few men are beaten, what's more, they attack women, children and children.

Seeing Liu Ruyan's dignified face, zhen'er suddenly understood why Liu Ruyan would not let Liancheng Ming investigate the theft of the night pearl.

But then zhen'er wondered that Liu Ruyan had never been out of the palace. How did she know that the situation in the capital was so serious.

She couldn't help looking up at Liu Ruyan. Zhen'er sighed a little: "I finally understand why my mother doesn't want to tell her majesty about the theft of the night pearl. I hope your majesty can understand her pains."

Liu Ruyan looked back, put down the curtain and said, "it is said that the capital is at the foot of the son of heaven, prosperous and rich, and there are many nobles. That's why the refugees choose to come all the way to the capital. After all, a little charity from the nobles will be enough for them to eat and wear for a few days."

"But the palace is also worried that someone will deliberately put pressure on his Majesty in this matter of refugees and bandits."

After pondering for a long time, Liu Ruyan tightened his hands and looked worried: "the things your majesty sent to our palace are naturally cherished by our palace, but our palace is in the back palace all day, with good clothes and food.

The things your majesty sent to the palace are extremely precious. They are more than just a night pearl. "

"The night pearl in our palace is just a shining pearl, but in the hands of bandits, it can become silver money to benefit refugees.

The people are poor. We are in a deep palace. If we don't see it with our own eyes, how can we appreciate the hardships of the refugee people. "

With that, Liu Ruyan ordered the coachman to stop, took zhen'er out of the carriage and was in front of a medicine shop.

Zhen'er took a look and looked around. There are already refugees looking here. It seems that they are coming. Zhen'er is worried that there are so many refugees and there will be assassins among them. With the lesson of going up the mountain to pray for blessing and being stabbed last time, zhen'er really didn't dare to be careless. She said, "madam, let's go back to the horse car. There are so many people in the market at present. I'm afraid it's dangerous."

"No harm, let's go into the medicine shop." Liu Ruyan turned back and made a gesture to the coachman, then walked into the medicine shop.

The owner of the medicine shop is a man of about 30 years old. He doesn't have a beard. He looks younger.

He politely hugged his fist and bowed to Liu Ruyan, and asked, "does this lady want to make medicine?"

Liu Ruyan gently shook his head and said, "are you the owner of this medicine shop?"

The boss hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Liu Ruyan was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, but his temperament was not like that of ordinary people, he pondered a little and said, "yes, I don't know, madam?"

Liu Ruyan took the baggage from zhen'er's hand and went forward to open it on the counter. He saw that there were some silver jewelry in the baggage, which surprised the boss.

The boss pointed to the silver and jewelry of this burden and said in surprise, "madam, what does this mean?"

Perhaps because of the influx of refugees into the capital, the medicine shop is not very big. Now the medicine shop is empty. There is no one except Liu Ruyan, so Liu Ruyan has no scruples.
