Exorbitant taxes, bullies and bullies, bandits rampant, malicious fees... Anyway, the whole people are in dire straits, and the people complain a lot.

And the instigator of all this is actually the current emperor.

This is not what surprised Qiao Yuan the most. What surprised Qiao Yuan the most was that there was a shadow of the Bai family in everything that happened.

The sixth prince Suye sat in front of the table with a solemn expression, his expression was gloomy.

'Knock knock' There was a knock on the door.

Su Ye said impatiently, "Back off, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

After Su Ye finished speaking, she thought that the other party would retreat tactfully, after all, in this mansion, no one would dare to disobey his intentions.

But unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the knock on the door stopped, and the door was suddenly opened without warning.

"The sixth prince is so angry, I don't know if the matter of Bai Yuan is a big deal in the eyes of the sixth prince?"

Just as Suye was about to get angry, she heard a familiar voice, looked up, and saw a woman with an unfamiliar face standing at the door looking at him.

"Who are you and how did you get in, Qi Yi."

Suye was a little annoyed, what did he think of the Sixth Prince's Mansion as a person who came and left whenever he wanted?
However, his hidden guards, who usually boast that not a single mosquito can fly in, have not noticed it.

What's even worse is that when he calls them now, no one answers.

"Uh, sorry, I was careless."

Qiao Yuan ignored Suye's loud yelling, turned around and walked out, and walked in again in a few seconds, but it scared Suye enough.

"Joe, Qiao Yuan!!"

"Well, I was entrusted to come here this time. As for who entrusted me, I don't think I need to say more. What do you mean? If you can't find it or don't want to go, you can just give me an accurate statement. .”

After the initial shock, Suye's face was full of irritability again.

"Miss Qiao, it's not that I don't want to go to Yuan'er, I have reasons."

"Then tell me, I'm listening."

Everyone has a mouth under their nose. If you have a misunderstanding, explain it, if you make a mistake, apologize, if you have something to say, don't give her that kind of sadomasochism.

"Originally, if there were no accidents, Yuan'er and I should live a life that only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals, but almost a year ago, orders came out from the palace one after another, and each one was not inconceivable. I can't understand it, but it's really a genuine imperial decree with a jade seal on it."

Su Ye looked at Qiao Yuan and explained seriously.

"With the implementation of the order, the people complained a lot, and even many families had to sell their sons and daughters to make ends meet. There is no war and the treasury is abundant, but they have to pay heavy taxes to make life difficult for the people below. day."

"To say something irresponsible, this has nothing to do with me. Although I am a prince, I don't have real power in my hands. I can't do anything I want. But the strange thing is that since the day my father issued the decree, I have never I have never been to court, but I have appeared in front of everyone."

"Anyone who wants to see him is extremely difficult, including his most trusted prince and brother, who has met with him many times, but is still rejected."

"This is very abnormal, and the series of policy regulations promulgated by the father are not in line with his political philosophy at all."

"Nowadays, the world is peaceful and the people have enough food and clothing. Doing so will only destroy their own future and cause people to rebel. Such stupid things are not like what the father can do, so I conclude that the father must be born. What's the matter?"

Having said that, Suye paused.

"Since it's not clear, then I plan to come in the dark. I sent the most powerful secret guards under my command into the palace to find out. The result was quite unexpected. My father, the current emperor, was kidnapped."

"This is the news that those secret guards risked their lives to pass back. Since I know this news, how can I sit idly by? If the world is in chaos, I just want to live in seclusion with Yuan'er, how long can I be safe? So I will send someone to assassinate That person, but none of the hidden guards sent out came back."

"This is really terrifying. You know, the hidden guards I trained have few opponents in today's world. This is not my exaggeration, but the conclusion drawn after going through real drills. But even so, I still can't help that person .”

"For more than a year, I have been thinking about Yuan'er all the time, but after so many provocations, I have successfully annoyed that person. I didn't even dare to hand out the letter. I was afraid that he would catch Yuan'er's whereabouts. It would be bad for her."

"Miss Qiao, I know you are a capable person. Can I ask you to protect Yuan'er, Suye is very grateful."

Suye blah blah blah blah, blah blah, and finally said her request.

To be honest, the male protagonists in this kind of novels usually talk very little.

And now Suye said such a big deal to her, Balabala, Qiao Yuan was a little surprised, if she was not the mouthpiece between him and Bai Yuan.

Can Suye say so many words to her?Are you afraid you won't even talk to her?After all, this kind of hero is not close to women, only the heroine is an exception, and the others, go to the other side.

And he said so much and explained so much, just because he didn't want Bai Yuan to be misunderstood and cared about Bai Yuan.

"Of course, even if you don't ask me for this matter, I will do it. Now what you mean is that you can't join Bai Yuan for the time being, right?"

Su Ye pursed her lips and said nothing, Qiao Yuan understood what he meant, nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Miss Qiao, please explain to Yuan'er that I didn't break the appointment on purpose, but I had no choice but to wait until this matter is over, and I will let her beat and scold me day and night without any complaints."

Qiao Yuan waved his hand and left, not to mention how Suye questioned his hidden guards after Qiao Yuan left.

As for Qiao Yuan, she was not in a hurry to go back at the moment, but was wandering aimlessly on the street.

Looking at the sad faces of the people, even some children are often gathered on the side of the road to play and play. Their childish laughter represents their joy. Even some adults passing by can hear these innocent laughter. , and laughed involuntarily.

But now, not to mention the laughter, even the figures of the children were gone, and occasionally one or two would follow behind the adults.

Their immature shoulders were carrying things that exceeded their own body weight, but their faces were numb, as if they had grown up overnight.

Of course, these are not bad, there are still people selling their children on the street openly.

The bustling market in the past has seen a sharp decrease in the flow of people, and even some shops have closed down.

Even beggars seem to be in abundance all of a sudden, you know, this is at the feet of the emperor, some beggars can understand, but a large number of beggars appear, doesn't that mean that other regions...

Qiao Yuan could hardly think about it anymore.
