The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao looked at the two of them and said patiently, "Well, now you can tell me about your business, right?"

The brother and sister looked at each other, and the man bowed and said, "Your Highness, my name is Shangguan Wuji, and this is my sister Shangguan Wan'er."

"Shangguan Wan'er?" When Qin Hao heard the woman in front of him called Shangguan Wan'er, his eyes lit up, he looked at her straight, and immediately became energetic.

Because in the history of the previous life, there was also a woman named Shangguan Wan'er, especially the Shangguan Wan'er in the film and television dramas, who had fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, and was extremely beautiful, and also very talented. I just don't know if the woman in front of me is any more outstanding than the Wan'er in the film and television dramas of the previous life.

Shangguan Wan'er saw the prince staring at her, and she couldn't help wondering, what was the prince's intention in looking at her so nakedly? She was neither pretty nor outstanding in her current outfit, so how could the prince be so rude.

So, Shangguan Wan'er gently reminded: "Your Highness, what do you mean by looking at Wan'er like this? Are you doubting our identities?"

Qin Hao touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Miss Wan'er, you misunderstood. I was just interested in your name because I have an old friend whose name is exactly the same as yours. So I was distracted just now. Please forgive me."

Shangguan Wan'er was very sure that this was the first time she met the prince, so it was definitely not the old friend the prince was talking about.

So she continued to ask: "Your Highness, your old friend was also a woman! Where is she now?"

Qin Hao couldn't help but smile in his heart. This Shangguan Wan'er was too curious! The Shangguan Wan'er he was talking about was a person in the TV series in his previous life. He had never seen her in person. Would he believe her if he told her about it?

He had no choice but to lie and then began his performance.

He looked lonely, sighed deeply, and said in a pretentious manner, "I don't know where she is now. I also want to know where she is."

Shangguan Wan'er knew she had asked something she shouldn't have asked and quickly apologized.

Qin Hao forced a smile, not caring, and whispered, "No matter where you were in your previous life, you will always be in my heart now."

Shangguan Wan'er was instantly moved by the prince's deep affection. She guessed that since the prince was so affectionate towards that old friend, he must love that woman very much. Suddenly, a hint of jealousy inexplicably arose in her heart.

At this moment, Qin Hao saw that the topic had gone too far off track, so he quickly turned his head to Shangguan Wuji and asked him to continue.

Shangguan Wuji reorganized his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, my brother and I are from a family of scholars in Hedong. My father, Shangguan Yi, is the magistrate of Hedong Prefecture and a sixth-rank official."

"This year, there was a severe drought in Hedong. The ground in the area was dry and cracked. The cracks were several feet deep, and the land was barren for thousands of miles. The fertile fields and crops in the past all died due to the drought. The people had no harvest. In order to survive, everyone dug up grass roots, ate tree bark, and even ate Guanyin soil to fill their stomachs. Now the disaster is getting worse, and people have even started to eat their own children."

"My father was the magistrate of Hedong Prefecture. He repeatedly advised the prefect Wu Liang to open the granaries and release grain. At the beginning, Wu even called on local gentry and wealthy merchants to donate grain and distribute porridge. However, these gentry and wealthy merchants were rich but unkind. The porridge they distributed only contained water, not rice grains."

"Within two days, these wealthy merchants stopped giving out porridge and colluded with Magistrate Wu to drive up prices. Compared with the price before the disaster, the current price of grain has increased more than tenfold. Many people cannot afford to buy food and can only starve to death."

"Later, my father found out about this. He was disgusted by the ruthless behavior of the local gentry and merchants, and was also disappointed with the prefect Wu. He used his prestige and the money and grain in his family to help the people."

"My father's actions completely angered the prefect and the gentry and grain merchants. The prefect believed that my father's prestige had threatened his position as prefect, and the gentry and wealthy merchants believed that my father's actions blocked their way to wealth."

"So, Magistrate Wu colluded with the local gentry and wealthy merchants, first bribing my father and trying to force him to join them in corruption."

"However, my father is from a family of scholars and has been favored by the emperor for generations. Of course, he would not obey and directly refused."

"So, Magistrate Wu falsely accused my father of colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty and ordered the arrest of our entire family. Fortunately, my brother and I were out providing disaster relief at the time, so we avoided being arrested."

"Later, with the help of many disaster victims, my brother and I escaped from Hedong and headed north to the capital. But we didn't expect those people to chase us here."

Qin Hao was furious when he heard this. He shouted, "The victims are suffering so much. The local officials are colluding with the gentry and wealthy businessmen. They are rich but unkind. They are exploiting the people everywhere and making a fortune from the national disaster. The ministers in the court concealed the disaster for such a long time and lived a life of luxury every day. What do they want to do? Are they trying to rebel?"

boom! boom! boom!

The teacups on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The flying fragments flew onto Qin Hao's hand, leaving a streak of blood.

Seeing the prince's wounded hand, Ah Yue knelt on the ground and said in panic, "Your Highness, calm down. You are injured. Bandage it quickly!"

The Shangguan siblings were also frightened by the prince's behavior, and quickly knelt on the ground to persuade the prince to calm down.

Qin Hao was silent for a long time, and then his anger subsided. He slowly said, "Get up! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

After A Yue stood up, she quickly took out a pink handkerchief from her chest and bandaged the wound on the prince's hand.

Qin Hao then realized that his hand was indeed injured and he shouldn't be so angry with them.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao looked at them apologetically and continued to ask: "Shangguan Wuji, how is your father and your family doing now?"

Shangguan Wuji knew what the prince meant, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, when we escaped from Hedong, my father and his family were still imprisoned and had not been murdered by those people."

"However, it has been almost a month, and I don't know what their current situation is."

"I don't think those people will attack my family until they catch my brother and me."

Qin Hao nodded and said, "I hope so! Don't worry, as long as your family members are still alive, I will definitely rescue them all."

The Shangguan brother and sister quickly kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard from those officers and soldiers that they want to arrest the three of you, but there is still one person missing. Where is that person now?"

Shangguan Wan'er spoke frankly and said, "Your Highness, the person you are talking about is my sister Liang, her name is Liang Hongyu, we met on the way to escape, just now she attracted most of the officers and soldiers to help us escape, and we don't know where she is now."

After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er knelt on the ground and begged, "Your Highness, please save my sister Liang! As long as you can save her, Wan'er is willing to do anything for you."

When Qin Hao heard Liang Hongyu's name, he was delighted again. She was definitely a heroic woman, and she had the same name as the heroic female general in his previous life. Even if Shangguan Wan'er did not beg for mercy, Qin Hao would do his best to rescue her.

Qin Hao asked her to get up quickly, agreed to her request, and then asked A Yue to send someone to inquire about Liang Hongyu's whereabouts as soon as she returned.

Afterwards, Qin Hao asked A Yue to arrange for the Shangguan brothers and sisters to live here.

Shangguan Wan'er might be too concerned about Liang Hongyu's safety and was unwilling to live here, so she insisted on following Qin Hao.

What Shangguan Wan'er said made sense, and Qin Hao couldn't refuse the beauty's kindness, so he had to take her and Yue'er away from here.
