All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 276 Sanhe County

At this time, Wu Zhao also knew that what she just said was really serious, so she quickly changed her words.

"Your Majesty, didn't I mean to make Your Majesty sad just now?"

I saw Ling Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, Zhao'er, you are right. Now the queen and several concubines are going through the pain of pregnancy. They are working so hard. I shouldn't have said such a thing just now."

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears today, even Wu Zhao wouldn't believe that His Majesty would say such a thing.

Now in this harem, the concubines and empresses all know what kind of temperament His Majesty has.

Back then, the queen and Huo Chengjun hated His Majesty deeply, and hoped that they could get rid of such a faint king as soon as possible.

But now, in contrast, Wu Zhao was extremely smart. Now that he saw Ling Xiao like this, he was willing to stay with him for the rest of his life.

Wu Zhao took good care of Ling Xiao along the way, but the car became more and more bumpy as they drove south.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao frowned at this time, so he said to Li Dequan outside: "Li Dequan, what's going on? Why is this sedan chair dangling around?"

"Your Majesty, this mountain road is not easy to walk, please be patient for a while!"

Li Dequan's heart was almost in his throat during the journey, you must know that even if there is a stone on the road in the palace, it will be picked up by the little eunuchs who are attacking.

So now that the road is bumpy, Li Dequan is worried that Ling Xiao will get angry.

At this time, Ling Xiao lifted the car curtain and looked outside, and found that they were now in the wilderness.

This place seemed to be deserted, so all the anger in my heart just now was extinguished.

He looked at Lu Fengxian who was riding in the front and said loudly: "Fengxian, where are we now?"

"Your Majesty, we will arrive in Sanhe County in two hours."

Ling Xiao said in surprise when he heard about Sanhe County.

"Is this where we end up going?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, this time we are going to Sanhe County to have a look."

But what surprised Ling Xiao was that he didn't seem to see many refugees along the way. What's going on?

Seeing Ling Xiao's worried look, Wu Zhao quickly handed Ling Xiao the food box next to him.

"Your Majesty, please eat as much as you like. We still have two hours to arrive!"

Originally Ling Xiao had no intention of eating at all, but he knew that Wu Zhao would be worried about him, so he simply ate a few bites at will.

And along the way, he always had a bad premonition, which he couldn't describe.

I remember that when they went to Yuecheng, they saw refugees in twos and threes along the way.

However, Sanhe County is the place where the most refugees are written in the court memorial, and it stands to reason that this is the base camp of refugees.

But why were so few refugees fleeing to other villages along the way? Could it be that something happened?

About two hours later, they finally arrived at Sanhe County Magistrate before dark.

As a result, as soon as they arrived in Sanhe County, they were stunned by everything in front of them.

I saw that the refugees here are basically displaced, and the common people all over the street are now lying on the side of the street like this, without even a quilt covering them.

Wu Zhao had never seen such a situation before, and he followed Ling Xiao for a while, a little timidly.

And Ling Xiao also sensed it, and then held her hand in his palm.

When Wu Zhao felt the temperature, he felt more at ease.

Because of the intrusion of outsiders in Sanhe County, the people on the roadside looked at them one after another.

There was a trace of anticipation in their eyes, and they even looked at them with a little despondency.

"Fengxian, have you asked clearly? What is going on?"

Ling Xiao looked at Lu Fengxian who had rushed back at this time and asked him.

As soon as they arrived in Sanhe County, Ling Xiao hurriedly asked him to find a few people to find out what was going on here.

"My lord, I have heard that the people in Sanhe County have not eaten for several days!"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel chilled when he heard this, and he still vaguely remembered that he had asked the Minister of the Household Department to distribute all the silver taels to the people of Sanhe County a few days ago, and it seemed that the money was in their pockets again.

But now the servant of the household department is already in his brain, so it is useless to ask him about this matter, but he remembers that there is a county magistrate in Sanhe County.

"There is County Magistrate Zhang here, his name is Zhang Sanfang. Why don't we go ask him what's going on."

Looking at the people in the city now, Ling Xiao didn't know what to do for a while.

But right now, it is necessary to find someone who can explain it, and even have a deeper understanding of the current situation, otherwise this matter cannot be resolved.

"My lord, the county magistrate's mansion is just ahead. I've already inquired about it just now. We can find it along this road!"

Just as they were about to leave, a child who ran out suddenly hugged Ling Xiao's thigh.

Li Dequan saw this and said sternly to him: "Whose kid is so bold?"

Seeing this, Ling Xiao quickly stopped him.

"Forget it, it's just a child, it doesn't matter."

Li Dequan moved his lips, but finally closed his mouth.

Now that he is away from home, he is His Majesty's personal eunuch. If something goes wrong this time, how will he explain it to the ladies in the harem?

Besides, during this journey, he never put his heart in his stomach.

Although this is indeed a little boy, if he bumps into His Majesty, or even makes some excessive moves, then what will happen to him then?

And Wu Zhao couldn't help frowning when he saw that the child was wearing tattered clothes, even dirty.
After taking a look, the lady next to her who looked like her mother said, "Are you the child's mother?"

The woman nodded, and finally Wu Zhao said: "Why don't you wash Jiang's body, and the clothes are already so dirty, why don't you change them for him?"

After hearing this, the lady ignored what Wu Zhao said, but buried her head in her own way.

A man next to him should be the father of the child, so he quickly spoke up.

"Young lady, I don't know. The people in our Sanhe County don't even have food to eat. How can we care about these things? Let alone my children, the children of the people in the entire county are not the same as us."

"We are parents, so we naturally hope that our children will be healthy and healthy, but now we don't even have food to fill our stomachs, no matter how well we dress, it won't help."

When the lady heard this, her eyes turned red for a while, and then she began to sob.

Although Wu Zhao said that she was not a mother yet, she was able to empathize for a while, only to see her nose sore, and then retreated to the side.
