I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 183: The monarch's incompetence doomed Beiqi to destruction

Song Jiaojiao looked at Xie Chuyue's figure walking away, the viciousness in her eyes could no longer be hidden. This Princess Chunyang was such a sad woman. She felt pity for these ancient women from the bottom of her heart.

In the world of novels, a lustful princess like her would eventually be killed by the male favorites around her.

However,

There is no rush. After all, Achen has asked someone to prepare today, and she will surely suffer.

I suffered such a great loss at her hands today, I must find an opportunity to get it back. Tomorrow is the welcoming banquet, I must let this woman know that no matter how noble her status is, she is the daughter of destiny and protected by heaven, and if he wants her to die, she must die.

Ye Beichen looked at Song Jiaojiao who had already gotten up and said coldly: "My brother and I are going back home, Miss Song, please do as you please."

After saying that, he pulled Ye Qiansu away.

When Ye Qiansu left, she looked at Song Jiaojiao with embarrassment. Today, she was the one who implicated Miss Song. She also didn't expect that Xie Chuyue would dare to be so arrogant in their Beiqi country. This was something she had not expected.

As he was thinking this, he heard his brother's cold voice: "Stay away from Song Jiaojiao in the future. If you don't listen, I won't help you next time something happens. You can take care of yourself."

After saying that, he left without paying any attention to Ye Qiansu.

Ye Qiansu just stood there and stamped his feet. What? Miss Song is so nice. His brother must have some misunderstanding about Miss Song.

Xie Chuyue walked a long way away and complained to the system: [We are both time travelers, why are we so anxious to fight each other? But this Song Jiaojiao has to make things difficult for me. ]

System: [Host, what are you afraid of? Just take action when it’s time, just like what happened just now. There’s no need for people to be too normal in this world. Going crazy is the norm.]

Hongye was also very upset today. He wanted to curse at them, but Chu Jinghong's eyes hinted that this was Beiqi Country after all, and they had just arrived, so they couldn't be too conspicuous, so he didn't take action.

Whether it was Chu Jinghong or Hongye, both of them felt very aggrieved today. If this happened in Nanyue Country, they would have to let these two women know what the rules are.

Xie Chuyue brought four people to Wangchuan Pavilion. She, Gu Qiancheng and Nan Zhiyue made an appointment here. After all, they were in their own territory and it was convenient for them to talk.

After entering Wangchuan Pavilion, Xie Chuyue asked for a private room and ordered food for the four of them. Then she said she had something to do and left first.

She came to the counter and took out her token. When the shopkeeper saw that it was the Pavilion Master's token, he almost knelt down.

Xie Chuyue didn't beat around the bush and directly said that she wanted to see Gu Qiancheng. The shopkeeper quickly took her to the third floor.

The door of Room No. Tian on the third floor slowly opened. Xie Chuyue walked in and saw two young men in white sitting at the table.

When the two saw Xie Chuyue coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted, "Subordinates Gu Qiancheng and Nanzhi, we pay our respects to the Pavilion Master!"

Xie Chuyue looked at the two of them before speaking calmly, "Get up, don't be so reserved, sit down!"

The two looked at each other, then sat down opposite Xie Chuyue obediently, waiting quietly for Xie Chuyue to speak.

Xie Chuyue was not familiar with the two people to begin with, so she did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Let's talk about the current situation of Beiqi Country."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Gu Qiancheng responded, cleared his throat, and spoke: "Pavilion Master, Beiqi Kingdom is in turmoil right now. Whether it is the emperor's harem or the ministers' backyard, all the families are in turmoil and chaos."

"Master, all of this was done by that girl of destiny." Nanzhi did not forget to interject.

Xie Chuyue nodded and motioned for the two to continue.

Gu Qiancheng brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Chuyue, answering: "The royal family of Beiqi Kingdom is not at peace at night. There are still remnants of the previous dynasty. The mother of the second prince, Concubine Shu, is a princess of the previous dynasty. The remnants of the previous dynasty intend to push the second prince to the throne. After all, the second prince is considered to be the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but the second prince has too many handles in his hands and is always controlled by the crown prince and the third prince. Everyone is disappointed with him."

Nan Zhi also started to take it seriously after hearing this: "It's strange, there should be only one princess from the previous dynasty, but the governor of Jiangcheng has a concubine who seems to be of the previous dynasty's bloodline, and the governor and several officials from the previous dynasty had sex with that girl and gave birth to a son. No one knows whose child that is, but what is certain is that it was born to one of them, and they wanted to support that kid to take the throne."

Xie Chuyue frowned after hearing this. She didn't expect that the royal family of Beiqi was even more chaotic than she imagined. "So which of these two people is the bloodline of the previous dynasty?"

"Master, according to our investigation, both of them are of the blood of the previous dynasty. Shufei is a legitimate, real princess of the previous dynasty, and the concubine in the prefectural governor's mansion is the daughter of the virtuous king of the previous dynasty." After Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.

In fact, they were also shocked when they found out about this matter.

Xie Chuyue: "Anything else?"

"Yes! There was a flood in Jiangcheng, with countless casualties and people displaced. The governor reported that the problem had been solved, but after our secret investigation, we found that it had not been solved at all. All the victims were driven into a cave, intending to starve them to death. In order to survive, the victims ate everything they could. Now..."

Gu Qiancheng couldn't continue talking after this point. It was really too bloody.

Seeing that Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything else, Xie Chuyue looked at Nanzhi and asked in confusion: "What now?"

Seeing that Gu Qiancheng couldn't say anything, Nan Zhi finally spoke up: "Master, they cut off the arms and legs of the old, weak, women and children and ate them raw, just to survive."

After Nan Zhi finished speaking, Xie Chuyue's face turned pale instantly, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. Even if all these disaster victims were killed, there was no need to let them live in such pain.

"Did you have a hand in this?" Xie Chuyue's voice trembled as she asked this.

The two men knelt on the ground and said, "Master, please understand. No matter how incompetent we are, we will not be so crazy. The Emperor of Beiqi is lustful and ignores the affairs of the court. The court officials are bent on seizing power. All the affairs of the court are handled by the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor. For things like the flood in Jiangcheng, the Emperor would let these two handle it. Many people have advised us not to deal with the flood, but the Emperor insisted on letting them handle it."

"I and the others are in a neutral position. Seeing that the emperor doesn't care, we didn't go to the prime minister and the tutor. After all, the prime minister is ambitious and wants to support the third prince to ascend the throne, and the tutor is the father of the concubine and the second prince's maternal grandfather. The two of them have their thoughts on the record. We have no choice but to secretly help the victims."

After Nan Zhi finished speaking, he also sighed deeply. Although they were ordered by their master to disrupt the entire Beiqi court, they had never thought of harming innocent people.

These officials in the court are all focused on their own interests and power, and don't care about the lives of the people at the bottom. What can they do?

Xie Chuyue had a frown on her face from beginning to end. She had originally hesitated and decided to kill only the male and female protagonists. But now, the Beiqi country was rotten from the inside out, and a group of people like them were the nightmare of the people.

"Does the Third Prince know about this? What's his opinion?" Suddenly, Xie Chuyue thought of the hero and the heroine being together. The heroine is from the 21st century after all, so she shouldn't be so cruel and should have a plan, so she asked.

"Master, how do you know that the Third Prince took action?" Nan Zhi looked at Xie Chuyue in surprise: "The Third Prince did take action and led people to quell the flood in Jiangcheng, but he only solved the problem superficially."

Xie Chuyue still held on to a little bit of luck at this time: "What about the heroine? Ah, no, that is, the girl of destiny. Didn't she give the third prince any good ideas?"

When Gu Qiancheng heard Xie Chuyue asking about this girl of destiny, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Master, don't mention it. What girl of destiny? She and the Third Prince did this. It was also the idea of ​​the girl of destiny to hide the people in the cave and let them starve to death."

"Fuck, &&¥@@〃*¥;〃!"

Xie Chuyue was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up, cursing.

As good teenagers of the 21st century, is it really okay for Song Jiaojiao to take human lives so lightly?

While enjoying the benefits brought by her status as the daughter of destiny, she also harmed the people.

Gu Qian and Cheng Nanzhi's expressions were not very happy either. How could this person be called the daughter of destiny? She was really a star doomed to fail. How could she, who totally disregarded the lives of the people, be worthy of being called the daughter of destiny?

Nan Zhi didn't quite understand either. Ever since he entered the court of Beiqi Kingdom, every time he told fortunes, the divination showed that Song Jiaojiao was the girl of destiny. He didn't believe it, and he told fortunes for a whole year, but the result was always the same. He even started to doubt whether he had lost his skills.

Xie Chuyue took a deep breath and calmed down the anger in her heart: "You can find a way to rescue those people, or send them food. Or you can ask for permission to investigate these things in Jiangcheng yourself."

The two shook their heads at the same time: "Master, it's useless. Unless the person sitting in that chair is replaced, this matter cannot be resolved. This Jiangcheng is not just a flood, there is also the matter of the remnants of the previous dynasty. They deliberately concealed this matter and will definitely not let too many officials investigate. If capable people go, they will die in their hands."

After hearing the two people's answers, Xie Chuyue felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of her heart, and she slumped in her chair. After a long time, she waved her hand and asked the two to leave.

After everyone left, Xie Chuyue looked at the bustling atmosphere in the capital city outside the window and fell into deep thought. The capital city was prosperous, and the monarch and officials were living a life of luxury and debauchery.

While the people in other places were suffering, they just pretended not to see it and wished such a dynasty did not exist.

In fact, the heroine's behavior disappointed Xie Chuyue even more. How could she be as cruel as these ancient people?

What kind of predicament would make people willingly eat their own flesh and blood in exchange for the hope of survival?

Xie Chuyue didn't dare to think about it any further.
