Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

While he was still thinking, the queen came with the second prince, knelt down in front of the imperial study, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please make the decision and thoroughly investigate the unjust case in the second prince's mansion."

The prince coldly threw down the memorial and glanced at the emperor who had been staring at him without the slightest respect. He stood up and walked outside the imperial study. Looking at the kneeling woman in the queen's auspicious dress, he felt sick. The emperor also followed him out leisurely.

The Queen, the Second Prince and his wife knelt in front of the imperial study, with their heads pressed against the blue bricks. A sneer appeared on the corner of the Crown Prince's mouth. These mother and son are really hypocritical.

He walked up to the queen and looked down at this woman. When his mother was alive, she was still Concubine Lan. Less than a year after his mother passed away, she was a mere concubine, but because she blocked the emperor's sword at a banquet, she was named queen by the emperor. She was not satisfied with being the queen and kept causing trouble for him. Today, he could actually see this woman kneeling in front of him.

"What is the Queen doing? Are you threatening my father?"

When the queen saw the bright yellow corner of the clothes, her blood boiled instantly. She was already the queen and the nominal mother of the prince, and this bastard actually dared to accept her worship. The queen was so angry that she spoke out.

The Second Prince was naturally unwilling to be outdone, "Brother, the Queen Mother is also your elder. How dare you accept the Queen Mother's kneeling worship? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life? Father, look at my brother, you don't know the seriousness of the matter. You actually dare to accept the Queen Mother's kneeling worship directly."

The Crown Prince looked at the Second Prince sneerfully, this unlearned idiot was really a half-full bottle, and one day he used his cunning mind to scheme against others.

"I suggest that the second brother be careful with his words. I am the eldest son of the Empress Yuan, so even if I am bowed to by the Empress Dowager, it is acceptable. After all, when I became the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager was still Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan also bowed to me. You might as well ask my father whether I can accept the Empress Dowager's bow."

I didn't expect the prince to be so scheming. It's funny to say that although she is the queen in name only, she is still Concubine Lan in the Royal Jade Butterfly. According to the etiquette, she will be buried in the concubine's tomb after her death. That's why she always wanted her son to compete for the throne, so that she can be buried directly with the emperor as the empress dowager, instead of watching the emperor being buried with that bitch.

She also thought that when the second son became emperor, he would move the woman's coffin out of the imperial mausoleum and throw it directly into a mass grave. How could she be worthy of being buried with her?

The queen tried hard to suppress her anger. She knew that when the emperor made her the queen, he had said that if the prince was not satisfied with her as the queen, she would be deposed at any time. She had been keeping a low profile all these years, and it was only recently when the emperor changed his attitude towards the prince that she dared to take action against the prince's child.

In the end, her own grandson was implicated. How could she be willing to accept this? Anyway, the emperor had been treating the prince badly recently, so this was her chance.

The emperor didn't say anything, he just followed behind the prince and watched how he dealt with this matter. Anyway, he treated the queen as a toy. He had already found out that the rescue of the emperor was planned by the queen's family. The reason why he didn't take action against the queen was just because he was lazy.

It's just right for the prince to practice, since he is not an important person anyway. The queen could not help herself and crawled on her knees towards the emperor. When she reached the emperor, she pulled the corner of his clothes and her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, which did not affect the beauty of the queen's face at all.

"Your Majesty, someone in the Second Prince's mansion was bitten by a snake last night. You have to take care of our grandson. Someone was so cruel that he poisoned five children in the Second Prince's mansion to death!"

"What the Queen said is ridiculous. When my children got into trouble in the palace, didn't the Queen say it was an accident? How come when it comes to her own children, it becomes like someone harmed them? This season is like this, there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants. The children were not obedient and dared not speak after being bitten. If it was delayed for too long, they would die."

The prince coldly said what the queen had said to him yesterday, and the queen had no way to refute it. It was indeed she who said it, and she had been gloating over the prince's misfortune, but now she had no way to stop the prince from talking. She could only pin her hopes on the emperor, hoping that he would enforce the law impartially and punish the prince.

The emperor pulled the corner of his clothes out of the queen's hand.

"I remember you said the same thing yesterday. How can you do your job if you can't even figure out your own family? From today on, go back to the mansion and clean up your own house first."

After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the imperial study. The prince looked at the emperor's back, then glanced at the empress who had a look of unwillingness on her face and the second prince and his wife who dared not speak out, then followed the emperor into the imperial study and continued to work.

After a while, the three of them supported each other and left the imperial study. The second prince had to go back to preside over the funeral of his five children, and the queen returned to the palace to think about how to dethrone the crown prince.

The Queen also had to start fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures to pray for her grandson's soul to be reborn. At the same time, she arranged for people to sow discord between the Crown Princess and the Concubine. Speaking of Concubine Zhang's son, the Queen knew clearly that if all of her own sons were wiped out, then the Crown Prince could not have any children born to a noble lady of high status. They must all be killed.

After the Second Prince returned home, he looked at the five coffins in the mourning hall with hatred boiling in his heart. He now understood how the Crown Prince felt yesterday. He did not expect that the Crown Prince, who was always gentle, could be so cruel. He no longer believed that the Crown Prince was a kind and generous person. He was still young, and he would naturally have children in the future, so he was not that sad.

He was constantly thinking about how to avenge himself. The crown prince was also thinking about how to expose the fact that the second prince's family was infertile. Everyone must know about it, so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart.

Liu Wanjun's father, Prime Minister Liu, sent many people to Qiong Island after nightfall, hoping to find the child in advance and kill him directly. Although he was neutral on the surface, his daughter was the Crown Princess after all, and in the future only someone with Liu family blood could ascend the throne.

Otherwise, why would he stand in the court so fawningly? He might as well just retire and preserve his reputation after his death. Now his daughter and children are all in trouble, and he really wants to kill the second prince's family, which is even more excessive than digging up the Liu family's ancestral graves.

Therefore, Concubine Zhang's child must die, putting Zhou Qingyun, who had been escaping calmly, in danger at all times.

Prime Minister Liu thought that he had finally defeated the Zhang family and was about to reap the fruits of victory, but someone actually cut down all his trees. Could he tolerate this? Of course he couldn't tolerate this. He had to make the second prince and his family pay the price, and the queen in the palace couldn't escape either. They all had to die.

Wang Shiyu's family has now left the group of prisoners and is in the mountains. They are not far away from the Zhang family's group. They did not meet up with other people, but chose to take a more difficult mountain road. There is no food on the mountain now, so it is actually very easy to encounter wild animals.

But wild beasts are purer than human hearts. Now, no matter whether it is a small path or an official road, there are refugees walking on it, which makes the old man feel more and more heavy-hearted. They have no choice but to go into the mountains. These days, they have witnessed more than one stabbing in the back, which made their family more and more silent.

Walking in the mountains and forests is more difficult on shoes, and walking is slower than on the official road, but the road is shorter, so they walk faster than Zhang Tao and his group.

Even though we have walked deep into the mountains, there is no sense of coolness. The mountains are covered with fallen leaves. Now, if we look up, we can see the sun above our heads and the dead trees around us.

The situation is urgent. They must speed up and leave here quickly. Otherwise, even if they hide in the mountains, they will be caught by those people.

As Wang Shiyu and her family walked, if they saw a big tree that was easy to handle, they would just knock it down or chop it into pieces and let her put it away. Because the weather was unusually hot, they were worried about a sudden change in the weather later, so they had to keep some in reserve. This was decided by the old man, as the old saying goes, after a severe drought there will be a severe flood.

It is still necessary to make decisions in advance to prepare for a rainy day.

Their family was quite lucky and had never encountered any wild beasts. Wang Shiyu discussed with the old man and took out five hatchets and a machete that they had bought before, one for each of them. When something happened, Wang Shiyu and Wang Shiyi asked Xiaoyu to bring Xiaoyi to their center. No matter what, they had to protect the children at home. After all, they were the only child they had, and if anything happened to any of them, they would go crazy.

The few of them have rehearsed several times. Wang Shiyi has always listened to her elder sister Wang Shiyu, who is even more effective than her second uncle and second aunt. Since entering the mountains, Wang Shiyu is no longer afraid to give Xiaoyi anything to eat. When she has nothing to do, she will stuff candies or cakes, as well as all kinds of delicious food, into Xiaoyi's mouth.

The adults in the family all pretended not to see anything. Sometimes it was difficult for them to pretend not to smell the fragrance coming from Xiaoyi's mouth. They also understood why she had not given Xiaoyi food some time ago. If this smell had come out of Xiaoyi's mouth some time ago, their whole family would have been skinned and eaten by those people.

On the fourth day of walking in the mountains, they encountered a skinny leopard. The old man drew out the big knife on his waist and confronted the leopard. The leopard looked quite miserable. Not only was it dirty, but it was also skinny. It was too miserable.

When the leopard saw this rare food, it naturally didn't want to let it go. Whether it could defeat these humans was no longer within its consideration.

The old man made a fancy move with his sword, looking like a martial artist. The two brothers protected their mother, wife and children and retreated to avoid delaying their father's performance. You know, his father could kill a tiger easily, so a hungry, skinny leopard was no match for the old man.

The old man really knows Kung Fu. In just two rounds, he chopped down the leopard with his sword. Mo Ruru and Zhou Guichun covered the eyes of the two children to prevent them from seeing such a bloody scene.

Because when the old man took action, he was careful not to scratch the leopard's skin, and just killed it with a direct blow at the neck.

The old man peeled off the leopard's skin with a knife. There was no way to nitrate it now, so he could only wipe off the blood stains with soil, wipe the dirt on the fur back and forth with dry leaves, and carefully scrape off the fat connected to the skin with a knife, and then put it aside, intending to put it in his granddaughter's treasure land later.

The leopard meat was not wasted. It was cut into pieces and then roasted in an open place. Fortunately, they had all the seasonings and the roasted meat was very fragrant.

Because of hunger and thirst, the leopard decomposed more than 20 kilograms of meat, and the remaining bones and internal organs were directly buried in the soil in a pit, as if to add nutrients to the tree.

The old man only asked Wang Shiyu to put away the leopard skin, but did not let her put away the roasted meat. He planned to cook for the next two days and eat it all directly. This thing cannot be stored.

Even though they had dried a lot of meat over charcoal last night, they couldn't keep it for too long. This stuff has a fragrance. Even if they were walking in the mountains now, they still had to pay attention to safety. If someone smelled the scent of meat on them, it would be like opening the door to the King of Hell at night, and the King of Hell would have arrived home.

In fact, leopard meat is not delicious. There are a lot of fibers in the leopard, and it is actually very difficult to chew when eating. What my aunt ate was not the meat in the buns, but the softer food that Wang Shiyu specially prepared for her.

The old man watched the bonfire at night, and on the fire was roasting the leopard meat they harvested yesterday. Although the leopard meat was very lean, it was also fatty. As the high temperature roasted, the fat in the meat began to sizzle and slowly come out.

The smell was so delicious that it made them, who hadn't eaten meat properly for nearly half a month, very hungry. After the family finished roasting the meat and put out the fire, they climbed up the tree and started to rest after eating.

Yes, they have now started sleeping on the trees. They no longer dare to sleep under the trees. Along the way, although they did not encounter any large wild beasts, there were many small wild beasts, not to mention snakes, insects, rats and ants, which attacked humans like crazy.

When the snake saw them, it bit them directly, as if it wanted to eat them whole. It was very scary. You should know that if you don't touch a snake, it usually won't bother with you, and may even avoid you.

But in the past two days they have been like crazy, not only attacking humans crazily, but also joining forces with birds. The birds peck people, the snakes bite people, and the rats can't wait to bite you directly to let you see how powerful they are.

Even the old man, who had some martial arts skills, was exhausted from dealing with them and it was better to avoid them for the time being. Only one day after killing the leopard, they encountered three little wild boars, seven poisonous snakes, a dozen non-poisonous snakes, and no less than fifty mice and sparrows, all of them acting like crazy.
