The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Does she want Jiujiu to continue disguising herself as a man? Misunderstood by everyone?

After arriving at Qingya Courtyard of Li Mansion.

Emperor Zhaoning first asked the eldest prince, who had been kneeling all night, to get up and follow him in to have breakfast together.

When entering the door, Emperor Zhaoning suddenly stopped moving forward because he heard the conversation between Concubine Li and Jiujiu.

"What, Jiujiu, did Aunt Liu who was with the emperor take you to take a bath last night?" After Concubine Li learned about this from the girl, she was a little panicked. She hurriedly asked: "...then, what is your true gender? Not exposed?"

Concubine Li's breathing was a little rapid: "There are many bad people hiding in the harem who eat people without spitting out their bones. If you are exposed, you will be in danger."

"My mother is incompetent and I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you. My mother's family has just returned from the place of exile and has not returned to its previous power. What should we do if someone harms us again?"

Concubine Li cried anxiously, her tears falling down and onto the back of Jiujiu's hand.

Jiujiu felt burned by her tears. She wiped away Concubine Li's tears and said, "Mom, don't worry. Aunt Liu just brought Jiujiu to the hot spring pool. In the end, Aunt Gui helped Jiujiu wash her. The girl’s gender was not revealed.”

Concubine Li looked at Aunt Gui next to her for explanation. Aunt Gui nodded, and Concubine Li finally felt relieved.

"That's good." Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After Emperor Zhaoning heard these words, he felt a lot of shame in his heart. It was because he was not good and failed to protect Concubine Li and his daughter that they suffered the unreasonable disaster before, so that he was afraid of being like this.

He will protect their mother and daughter well in the future.

As for those questions.

He wasn't going to ask.

He already knew the answer.

It's fine now.

He knew the identity of little girl Jiujiu, and knew that he really had a precious daughter. His life was complete, he had no regrets, that was enough.

Concubine Li was wrong to conceal it deliberately, but it was excusable and worthy of forgiveness.

Emperor Zhaoning stopped pursuing the matter, but he was worried that the eldest prince would go out and talk nonsense and cause trouble for Concubine Li and Jiujiu, so he gave the eldest prince a warning look.

The eldest prince was surprised that Jiujiu was really a little girl. When he saw the warning look in his father's eyes, he nodded and said, "I won't talk nonsense."

"That's pretty much it."

After saying that, the group of people entered the house with smiles.

Emperor Zhaoning said: "Jiujiu, look what my father brought you?"

"Baozi, Baozi." Jiujiu smelled the fragrance and she was very excited, "Let Jiujiu try one quickly?"

"it is good."

Fu'an took out the buns from the food box and handed one to Jiujiu first, then laid out the rest for everyone to eat together.

The buns are really fragrant!

After the family ate it, they all praised it.

Especially the eldest prince, he was still a little unsatisfied and wanted to continue eating, but it was gone.

After eating, Emperor Zhaoning was going to take Concubine Li and Jiujiu out for a walk and make an unannounced visit to the public.

They all dressed up like ordinary people and went walking on the street.

The eldest prince and the thirteenth prince also followed, and the two brothers tried various tricks to please Jiujiu, who felt that there was something wrong with them.

It’s never been like this before!

what is it today?

They all knew that Jiujiu was a girl and felt happy, that's why they were like this.

After taking to the street, the group listened to the vendors shouting on the street, felt the hustle and bustle of the market, and watched people coming and going. They were very happy.

This is something that is not available in the palace and is a rare experience.

Jiujiu is curious about everything she sees. Her two brothers bought her a lot of gadgets and even held them for her.

Jiujiu didn't need to take anything herself. She nestled in Emperor Zhaoning's arms and ate a sweet and sour candied haws.

After being tired from shopping, everyone rested at the tea stall while drinking tea.

Emperor Zhaoning saw that the public security in the capital was good and the people were living and working in peace and contentment. He was in a good mood and praised several officials until he heard a burst of discussion.

"Have you heard? Many refugees have poured into the city recently."

"The city patrol guards are driving people away every day, and they can't finish them all."

"Refugees?" Emperor Zhaoning frowned, "I...why didn't I know about this?"

The eldest prince said: "Someone must have deliberately blocked the news, and we didn't know about it."

Emperor Zhaoning: "I don't know where the refugees came from? If they are driven away for a long time, I'm afraid the people will talk about tyranny!"

"How about bringing them in? Place them properly?"

As Emperor Zhaoning said this, he was already thinking about who would be more appropriate to send to handle this matter.

【impossible. 】

[These refugees cannot enter the city. 】

[Cheap Dad’s starting point of not wanting to be talked about tyranny is correct, but these refugees are not ordinary refugees. They come from the South. 】

[It is written in the book that a plague broke out in the Southern Kingdom recently. In order not to be affected by the plague, the Southern Kingdom expelled all people infected with the plague from the city and left them to fend for themselves. 】

[These people diverted to Xichu, which is very dangerous. 】

[Once they enter the city, they will inevitably spread the plague to other people in the city. 】

[In the book, a plague was raging in the Western Chu Kingdom. Because of this, many people died, and the economic strength also plummeted a lot. 】

After Jiujiu muttered in his heart, he thought about how to persuade Emperor Zhaoning to take back his mind.

Emperor Zhaoning said: "It's better not to take in refugees, otherwise it will affect the appearance of the city."

The eldest prince agreed: "Yes, it will affect the appearance of the city."

Jiujiu was shocked.

Can you do this?

But that's fine, it saves her the trouble of trying to persuade her.

"Fu'an." Emperor Zhaoning whispered to Fu'an: "Go and deliver the edict, order the city guards to drive all the refugees out, and wear a face scarf to drive them away. They are not allowed to have direct contact with the refugees to avoid being infected with the plague."

"Yes."

Fu'an went to deliver the order.

Emperor Zhaoning was still thinking about which imperial physician would be good at treating the refugees.

Otherwise, the plague issue will never be solved. The people of Xichu may still be infected, and these problems must be solved from the root cause.

·

After receiving this order, the city patrol guards immediately drove away the refugees, but they did not wear hijab.

There are two reasons.

At first, they thought it looked unsightly and girly for a grown-up man to wear a hijab, so they didn’t wear it.

Secondly, for good reason, they felt that there was no need to wear face coverings. The emperor's words to avoid being infected with the plague were completely unfounded worries.

Where is the plague?

Not at all!

What's there to be afraid of?

While driving away the refugees, the city patrol guards gathered together to discuss the matter. They all looked very concerned and did not take it seriously, as if they did not care.

"Our emperor is too careful, he is just a refugee, what is there to be afraid of?"

"They all look healthy. They can eat and drink. There may not be any plague. Don't worry. You don't have to wear a face mask. There's no need to be afraid."

"Yes, that's it, just drive them away!"

"Let's work together, be quick with our hands and feet, and drive these people away quickly, so that we can do business."
