The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

Song Yao and his companions met many refugees on the road, all of whom came from Zhaojiabao. Song Yao ignored the dishonest refugees, but gave two steamed buns to the kind ones.

No matter what, only by living can you have a chance.

After seven or eight days, they finally arrived at Zhaojiabao.

Song Yao originally wanted to replenish some supplies in Zhaojiabao, but when she saw the tragic situation in Zhaojiabao, she immediately gave up the idea.

There were corpses everywhere in the city, and all of them were starving to the point of being skin and bones.

The flesh on some of the corpses had even disappeared, leaving only a red skeleton lying on the ground.

This scene was unbearable for E Yu, Feng Yingying and the others, so they all went back to the carriage.

Only Song Yao, Song Zizhou, Xiao Chi, Xiao Heyu, Qi Mo and a few others were outside.

Qi Mo frowned, his eyes filled with disbelief, "This is simply like hell on earth!"

Xiao Heyu frowned, "How could there be such a severe famine in a place? Why didn't the imperial court send anyone to take care of it? Why didn't they take care of these poor people?"

Song Zizhou said, "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten about this place. How could he possibly come to take care of it?"

"It's so abominable!" Xiao Heyu clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.

Song Yao's brows were furrowed, her eyes filled with disbelief. "This place really is hell on earth! Look at those fleshless corpses. Their flesh must have been eaten by someone!"

The thought of these people being eaten made her get goosebumps all over her body.

Xiao Heyu looked at Song Yao in surprise, "Eating people?"

Song Yao glanced at Xiao Heyu and nodded. "Your Highness, you don't know that when there is a famine, some people do eat each other. It's just that no one can do anything about it. They just want to survive."

Xiao Heyu said: "Even if you want to live, you shouldn't eat people!"

Song Yao smiled bitterly. "If they don't eat humans, they won't be able to survive. I understand that. However, if it really comes to that, I will definitely not choose to eat humans."

Everyone is the same kind, and only animals eat humans. So, even if there comes a day when she would rather die, she will not choose to eat humans.

They just want to survive and eat each other. Song Yao does not judge or agree with them.

Seeing the phenomena around them, everyone frowned, and almost everyone watched with a frown.

There were emaciated corpses everywhere, red bones with the flesh peeled off. It was so creepy. This was not the human world, this was clearly purgatory.

The emperor, who was high above everyone else, would definitely not have imagined that the people here were so miserable.

Song Zizhou said, "It's not safe here. Let's set up camp farther away from Zhaojiabao."

"Yeah." Song Yao nodded.

Qi Mo asked, "Aren't we going to help them?"

Song Yao glanced at Qi Mo and said, "Master Qi, there must be a lot of refugees here. The supplies I bought are for our future. If we give them to them, we will starve in the future. There are so many poor people here, we can't help them all."

Qi Mo said, "But if we don't help them, they will continue to eat humans, and in the end they will not be able to escape death."

Song Zizhou glanced at Qi Mo and said, "Master Qi, we know you are a doctor and have good intentions, but sometimes this kindness can get you killed. I advise you not to bother with it."

Xiao Chi said with a sullen face: "Since they choose to eat people, then they are not good people. In that case, we can't help them."

Qi Mo was speechless.

Forget it, he didn’t buy those supplies, so he has no right to distribute them. Let’s just listen to Song Yao’s decision.

When they walked out of Zhaojiabao, they saw two people standing at the door of a house. They were as thin as sticks, their clothes were already tattered, and they looked pitifully at Song Yao and others who were passing by.

Seeing these two children, Song Yao's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

No matter what, they will die.

But even if she cared, she couldn't control so much.

"Ayao?"

Song Zizhou, who was in front, saw Song Yao standing there and called out to her.

Song Yao came to her senses and followed.

After walking for a while, she looked back and found that the two children were gone.

But what they didn't expect was that the two children went to look for the body, and they were holding a dagger in their hands.

When Song Yao and his companions were about to leave Zhaojiabao, they saw four more refugees.

Song Yao still ignored them because she knew that there were too many refugees and the supplies she bought were not enough for them to eat. If she gave them the food, they would be hungry in the future.

At this time, Song Yao was not stupid enough to give them all the food.

However, she still felt somewhat guilty.

After leaving Zhaojiabao, they were worried that the refugees would come and rob them if they saw them, so they walked a long way before stopping beside a ditch.

It is more convenient to use water here, and since it is a river, there is no problem of flooding.

Song Yao stood by the ditch, silent.

Seeing Song Yao standing by the river without saying anything, Song Zizhou walked over to her.

He glanced at her before asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Yao glanced at him, then looked across the ditch in front of them to the cliff opposite. "Seeing those bones and corpses, I feel a little depressed. I don't understand why people end up like this."

"That's the court's fault for being incompetent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fallen into this situation," Song Zizhou said. "There are so many people in need, and we can't help everyone. Our abilities are limited, so don't be sad."

"Damn it!" Song Yao said, "Every place has officials. When something like this happens, they can report it to the court so that the court can provide disaster relief. But I don't understand why no one is doing anything about this. Those are human beings, living people, who just starved to death and were eaten like this!"

Song Zizhou said, "It may have been reported, but the emperor ignored it. After all, there was drought and famine everywhere around him, and he certainly didn't want to empty the national treasury for disaster relief. Besides, if he really cared about the people, he wouldn't have put the mistakes of Song Shu and others on us, and he wouldn't have exiled us and confiscated our Song family's property. Maybe those refugees are cannibalistic today, but I don't blame them, I blame the court. If they had provided disaster relief, things wouldn't have developed like this. So blaming yourself is useless, don't you understand?"

"Ah." Song Yao sighed heavily, "This damn emperor, if I had the ability, I would definitely make him roll off the throne!"

Song Zizhou turned around and saw that no one else was around, so he turned back to look at Song Yao, "Ayao, don't say anything carelessly, otherwise it will bring disaster upon yourself, understand?"

"Brother, I know!"

Song Yao didn't think about the refugees anymore. She stretched her muscles and left.
