I still remember the king's heart

After winter, the weather became colder and colder. The snow in Shengjing fell one after another, covering the sky and the earth. At first, people thought that the auspicious snow would herald a good year, until the news that someone was frozen to death gradually spread in the capital. I feel serious.

This is the case at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not to mention the towns of Youzhou in the far north, where memorials for disaster relief are piled up like snowflakes.

The two factions in the court have been fighting for a long time, you come and I go, each side will not give in. Even though King Qi is temporarily out of power, he has a long history of deep foundation in the court. His biological mother is the second-rank imperial concubine Xiao Shu. Not yet known.

On the other hand, on the prince's side, most of the good words are generals, but they are good at marching and fighting, but when it comes to disaster relief, few can really come up with ideas.

Over the years, in all natural and man-made disasters, the candidates for disaster relief are all fat jobs. Not only can they profit from it, but they can also accept bribes from local officials.

The emperor is no longer young, and there are silver threads on his temples, but his eyes are still piercing. It's not that he doesn't understand what these people are doing, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Everything in the world pays attention to balance, especially in court. Now it seems that this situation has been virtually broken.

He spoke slowly, with a majestic and stern voice, "You don't need to fight any more, I already have a candidate."

"Where is Shen Mu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?" The emperor raised his eyes and glanced around, Shen Mu hurriedly stood out from the crowd and kowtowed.

"I am here"

"I remember that your essay was very well written during the imperial examination. I will give you a chance this time. Come and draw up an order, and order Shen Mu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to lead the disaster relief. The three provinces and six departments will fully assist you."

"Yes, the minister waits for the order"

Shen Mu took the lead to kowtow to thank him, his palms were sweating a little, but his heart was extremely excited.

Only then did Ning Yuan stretch his brows, and when his eyes occasionally met with Rong You's, they both nodded secretly.

"This stewed chicken with osmanthus dates and ginseng, added with longan, red dates, ginseng and wolfberry, is very nourishing and nourishing in winter." Sang Yu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and put a bowl respectfully in front of Mrs. Ning Guohou, "Mother-in-law, please use it."

She took a sip and nodded, "Not bad."

Then Sang Yu filled another bowl for Ning Yuan, looking quite docile with lowered eyebrows, Ning Yuan took it and asked casually, "Where's Ze'er?"

"My son..." Sang Yu hesitated to speak.

"What happened to this traitor?!"

"Recently, the prince is often not in the mansion... Concubine... I don't know why I went..." Sang Yu blushed, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her robe.

Ning Yuan snorted coldly, what else could he do, either go out to fight eagles or fight dogs or linger around Huajie Liuxiang.

There is a flowery one at home, but he just doesn't want it.

Mrs. Ning Guohou put down the teacup in her hand, and looked down on her submissive appearance, "How can a man stay in the mansion all day, you have to take care of what your husband is doing."

"Yes..." Sang Yu's eyes were red, "I understand that if my husband takes his fancy and brings him back to the mansion, it's better than the cold outside, and it's better if he hurts his body."

"Nonsense!" Ning Yuan yelled angrily, "What kind of family does he think our Ning Guohou Mansion is, and any unclear woman can be brought back?!"

Sang Yu took two steps back, her eyes were flushed, and I felt pity for her, "Master Hou, calm down... I don't know who I am"

Ning Yuan froze, the eyes of the girl in red were flooded with water, and there was an amazing charm in the flash of light, which made people feel pity.

"None of your business, sit down and eat"

"Master Hou!" Mrs. Ning Guohou frowned secretly. It has been a rule since ancient times that concubines do not come to the table.

"Shut up, you are a good son, eat!"

Ning Yuan always kept his word, so she could only hold back her anger and watched Sang Yu take her seat, lowering her eyebrows and smiling slightly.

"Thank you Lord"

"Fox spirit, just looking at that alluring look makes me angry!" Mrs. Ningguo Hou no longer needed to hold back when she returned to her yard, she just yelled at her.

"Madam calm down, I'm just a concubine, so I can't make much trouble." Nanny Yu has been by her side for a long time, and she gently patted her shoulder and said in a low voice.

"I think the master means he's taken a fancy to her. Ze'er is also worthless, and can't even control a woman."

"As far as I know, the prince has gone to her place several times, but every time she refused because of her menstruation, but the maid next to her served him a few times."

Mrs. Ning Guohou sneered, with a stern look on her face, "I didn't see it, she still has such abilities. It seems that this house has been peaceful for too long."

"Madam, what are your plans?" Nanny Yu listened to her.

Mrs. Ning Guohou didn't speak, her fair and rich face was covered with gloom, Sang Yu, if you keep yourself safe, you can be tolerated, but if your eyes are higher than the top, you have to come in vertically and go out horizontally in this Marquis' mansion.

"I have already approached Ning Yuan as you said, what benefits can I get if it works?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Rong Chu's lips, but there was thought in his eyes, he knew that he had made a deal, and a child could be taught.

"The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. At that time, no one will stop you from going or staying. You can remain anonymous or remarry. No one will know your past." Rong Chu paused, and then said: "If If you want to work under this king, this king can also give you a brand new identity."

This condition is not unreasonable. Sang Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes became firm.

"Can the prince promise one more condition to the little girl?"

"You said, I will do my best"

"If things come to pass, I beg the prince to spare Shen Mu's life."

"He treats you like that, but you are so affectionate and righteous, it's rare and rare." Rong Chu smiled lightly and nodded in response.

When I came out, the sun was thinning on the western mountains, the snow was clear and the breeze was blowing, shaking the thin snow off the branches.

Su Ming quietly appeared beside her, and Sang Yu had long been used to her elusiveness, and showed her a smile as light as a breeze and thin snow.

"Is the ointment I gave you useful last time? If it works, I will..."

Su Ming frowned, "No, let's go."

Sang Yu took two steps back and muttered: "No... no... I went out of the government to buy it today... I can go back in a fair manner"

Su Ming nodded, didn't say much, and disappeared into the night like a Tathagata when he turned around.

... She left just like that, and Sang Yu felt inexplicably disappointed in her heart, and patted her cheek again after a while to wake herself up.

It doesn't matter if you don't give it away, she really can't stand the speed of chasing stars and moon every time.

When she was approaching Hou's mansion, she suddenly remembered something, and turned to an alley at the corner of the street, where there was a pharmacy.

Huanhua has been getting thinner and thinner recently, she is depressed, throwing up whatever she eats, and she is haggard a lot, why don't you take some medicine and go back and try to see if it can help.

As soon as she stepped into the alley, a few tall and thick men walked up to her. Sang Yu hurriedly lowered her head and held the basket in her hand tightly.

She didn't continue to walk until those people passed by. She was in a hurry, it was getting late, so she should grab the medicine and go back early.

"You can see clearly, isn't it her?"

The man nodded, "I see it clearly, I'm sure."

Sang Yu always felt that someone was following her, and she became suspicious. She slowed down her pace, and then sped it up suddenly. Those people behind her really showed their feet.

A thin layer of cold sweat oozes from the palm of your hand, and many thoughts flash through your mind, asking for help from passers-by?She quickly denied that these people had been with her for an unknown amount of time, and it would be very bad if people knew that she was working for King Qi.

In the end, a bright light flashed in his eyes, he bit his lip and went into another alley.

As dusk fell, the pedestrians on the street became thinner, and Sang Yu walked faster and faster, with a thin layer of sweat oozing from her forehead, she was almost running.

"Where are you going, little lady? It's getting dark, why don't you play with me?"

A few figures flashed out of the alley and blocked the way, they were the men who just passed by her.

Sang Yu was startled, and then stopped, her heart beating like a drum, but her face was calm, "The little girl lives in front, it's getting late, please help me."

"Convenience? Why don't you make it convenient for me, my little lady?" There was a wretched laugh from behind, and Sang Yu calmly avoided the person who came to grab her hand.

Even though he tried his best to endure, his complexion inevitably showed disgust, "You are all men of seven feet, so why make things difficult for me, a little girl?"

"Hey, you little lady can speak quite well, I don't know if you will be able to scream after a while"

"Second, don't talk nonsense, someone will come later"

The cold wind blows, and Sang Yu's heart is also chilly. She has never expected that person who is always silent and cold to appear.

But no, a few young and strong men grabbed her easily. Sang Yu didn't resist, slipped a small self-defense knife from her cuff and held it in her hand.

"Brother, be careful, this little girl is cheating!"

Before she could stab her, she was snatched away by someone, and then a loud slap hit her face, the burning pain made Sang Yu's eyes stare.

Several people came up to tear her clothes, and Sang Yu gritted her teeth and struggled, and was stabbed again during the tearing, and the moon-white clothes were smudged with a large amount of blood.

"Brother! Why don't you just do it and keep going—" Someone had a stern look on his face, and made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Anyway, the superiors also said..."

Sang Yu took two steps back, clutching her wound in cold sweat, her vision began to blur, "You... who... sent you..."

"I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but you don't know what's good and what's wrong, no wonder the brothers are so cruel!"

Not without disappointment, it is said that Huamanlou is not far away, but that person still hasn't come.

Feeling lost in her heart, she stumbled to her feet and said, "Everyone...all gentlemen...have something to say...why do you have to make things difficult for the little girl..."

She is not a pedantic woman, the reason why she has been refusing to have sex with Ning Ze is because she only wants to leave the best things to the one she loves the most, and if she loses her life now, there is no talk of chastity.
