Yu Deliang took a breath and said in disbelief.

"How could it be, it can't be the emperor..."

"No, if the emperor knew about this, he would not have revealed it so easily. There is no movement in the palace now. I sent people to inquire but there is no news. It seems that someone is trying to hide something."

"Dad, do you think there might be some problem with the national treasury?"

Yu Zhongtian nodded. He also had such a guess. What kind of unspeakable secrets were there in the national treasury?

I heard that there are people taking turns guarding the treasury every day, and the number of guards has more than doubled, as if they are protecting something.

I really don't understand.

"Now you should calm down and wait and see what happens. Don't rush into anything!"

Yu Deliang nodded. This was the critical moment and he could not act rashly.

In a corner of the palace, Xia Qingqing asked the system in a low voice.

"Tongtong, when will it rain? We can't go on like this."

[According to the progress of the book's content, it will rain in a few days, host, don't worry. 】

"How many days are there if there are no days?"

【About two or three days.】

Xia Qingqing nodded. In that case, it would be soon. As long as it rained, everyone’s life would be a little better. Everyone could grow some vegetables, and slowly, everything would be back to normal.

After I stopped worrying about this problem, I started clicking on the tasks, but the tasks above still did not refresh.

[Task 2: Gain the favor of the royal brothers, progress is 7/]

[Task 42: Light up the plant illustration 50/]

For this plant atlas, she had touched all the wild vegetables in the palace. This task had been updated three times, and there was nothing left to touch.

In order to complete the task, she even touched all the dishes in the imperial kitchen.

I've been stuck at 42 for a month. What should I do?

There didn't seem to be as many plants in the palace as one might have imagined. Xia Qingqing brought Doudou here, planning to walk the dog in the imperial garden and see if there was anything else that could be picked.

"Doudou, let's go to the Imperial Garden!"

After hearing this, Doudou's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tail swung back and forth excitedly, raising the dust on the ground.

After seeing Xia Qingqing walking around, Doudou hurriedly followed her. The two of them arrived at the imperial garden. There was no one else there except the palace maids coming and going.

After all, it is midsummer now and it is dry, so no one would be idle and come out. She can do whatever she wants here.

Let Doudou play by herself and she will go to see if there is any grass she can touch.

But after touching it for a while there was still no change. He stood up angrily, called Doudou and was about to leave, but he heard Doudou's dog barking.

[You bad guys, you bully people! ! ]

This is Doudou’s voice. What happened? Is someone bullying him?

She immediately ran towards Doudou and saw Doudou barking at a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Xia Qingqing hurried over to comfort Doudou.

"What's wrong? Stop shouting."

The eunuchs and palace maids naturally knew the most favored princess in the palace. They did not expect to meet the princess and knelt down quickly.

"Meet Princess!"

Doudou whimpered a few times when he saw his master coming, "Master, master, they are bullying children, teach them a lesson! !"

After hearing what Doudou said, Xia Qingqing turned around and found a boy behind them with messy hair and wounds on his face. She must have been beaten by the eunuchs.

In this palace, if the eunuchs and palace maids have any grievances, they will bully those who are weaker than them.

This is very common in the palace.

The little boy in front of her looked over when he heard the sound. The indifference in his eyes was like that of a lifeless person, which made her heart tremble.

"What are you doing here? Are you bullying people?" Xia Qingqing had been staying with Xia Xuan for a long time, and had learned 70% of his scolding expression.

The eunuchs were sweating profusely at this moment. They didn't expect that someone would come to such a remote corner. It was all this dog's fault!

He stared at the dog fiercely, and if he had the chance, he would kill the dog and eat its meat!

When Xia Qingqing heard what they were thinking, she was truly frightened. Although her life in her previous life was not satisfactory, she had never been exposed to anything bloody.

After traveling through time, I am the baby that is cared for by my parents and brothers. It is really scary that they are so dark inside.

But she was also afraid that they would really kill Doudou, she said fiercely.

"If you dare to touch my dog, I'll call Daddy to deal with you!"

"Also, you are not allowed to bully him anymore. If I see you bullying him again, I will settle the score with you!"

The babyish words really didn't sound intimidating at all. When the boy opposite heard what Xia Qingqing said, he looked at her with a little light in his eyes.

But Xia Qingqing was a princess, and they knew that if they made the princess angry, their life or death would be in jeopardy, so they no longer had any other thoughts in their minds.

He buried his head so low that he wished he could bury it in the ground.

"Yes, yes, we will never do that again, Princess, please forgive us."

After hearing that they really didn't dare to do it anymore, he let them go.

Xia Qingqing watched the little boy stand up, brush off the dust on his body, and turn to leave. Xia Qingqing immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little boy.

Feeling the soft touch in the palm of his hand, the boy was obviously stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and said coldly.

"Does the princess have any further instructions?"

Xia Qingqing felt very strange. Why couldn't she hear what the little boy was thinking? Was it possible that her brain was malfunctioning?

Hearing the boy's words, Xia Qingqing came back to her senses and pointed at him and said.

"But you are injured, do you have medicine?"

I saw that he still had many old wounds on his body, all of which had not been treated. Some had turned into scars, and it was obvious that no medicine had been used.

Although Xia Qingqing didn't want to meddle in other people's business after saving him, a prompt sound suddenly came from the system.

[Trigger the hidden task, rescue the little boy, completed, the reward has been put into the space, waiting to be received. ]

This guy can actually go on a hidden mission. It seems he must be an important person. He must not be allowed to leave, so he grabbed his hand.

The boy was obviously stunned when he heard Xia Qingqing's words, "It doesn't matter, I will be fine anyway."

Unexpectedly, Xia Qingqing frowned after hearing this, "That won't do. You'll get sick if you do that. Come with me!"
