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

Liu Zhen scratched the back of his head shyly. "I knew our house was going to be raided, so I hid some in my shoes. And... ahem, my eldest brother hid some too. After he died, my father gave me the banknotes he hid in his shoes. A total of 500,000 taels of silver."

Song Yao was surprised and asked, "Did you know your house would be confiscated?"

Liu Zhen nodded. "Yes, I also had a dream. I dreamed that our family would be confiscated and exiled, so I hid some money in advance. However, my father and mother didn't believe me, so we didn't hide it. Only my eldest brother believed me, so the two of us hid the banknotes."

Liu Hu was a veteran of three dynasties and the most loyal minister. It was probably because God didn't want to see the Liu family end up in such a miserable state, so he gave them some advice in their dreams.

But they didn't believe it.

Fortunately, Liu Zhen and Liu Yan believed it and hid some banknotes on their bodies.

Song Zizhou asked, "Why didn't you hide more? Besides, I saw that you were all in a miserable state when you arrived in Fengzhou. Why didn't you use these banknotes to exchange for food?"

Song Qing said, "If you give these banknotes to the officers, maybe they will let you go. Even if they don't, you've given them so much money, and it will make your journey easier."

Liu Zhen said, "If we exchange the banknotes for silver, we won't be able to buy hundreds of taels of silver at once. We can only buy food worth a few dozen taels. We'll have to carry the rest of the silver on us, and sooner or later it will be discovered. Then the officials will definitely think we've hidden the silver and will only beat us up more. Besides, if we give the banknotes to the officials, they might treat us better. But if we give them all, we'll be penniless when we get to Fengzhou, and we'll still die."

Song Yao said, "You've been very thoughtful, but if you don't do anything, you'll suffer countless hardships along the way, and some people will even be beaten to death. The price will be very high!"

Liu Hu said, "We thought it would be better to stay here than to give them money. Once we get to Fengzhou and the officials leave, we can go to another capital and live in hiding. The suffering we endure is only temporary, not forever. So we didn't bribe them, but chose to keep the banknotes."

Song Mingxuan muttered, "Prime Minister Liu, aren't you an honest official and a veteran of three dynasties? Why do you have so many banknotes in your family?"

"Second brother!" Song Yao called him, with a fierce look in her eyes.

Song Zizhou said angrily: "How can you talk like that?"

Song Mingxuan pursed his lips and said, "I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else."

Liu Hu said, "Yuan Bo should know that my ancestors were merchants and left behind a lot of wealth. So during my years as an official, I didn't embezzle a single public fund, nor did I oppress the people. But I really can't understand why I served the emperor and the people wholeheartedly, but ended up like this!"

Song Yao said, "This is simply related to the emperor, but it doesn't matter, Uncle Liu. When we conquer the Great Dynasty, we will go to the emperor to seek justice for you!"

"Alas!" Liu Hu sighed, "My grievances are nothing. The most important thing is the people. Last year, there were constant natural disasters and man-made disasters, but the emperor ignored them and blindly listened to the words of the imperial preceptor. In the past year, countless people in the Great Dynasty were killed and injured!"

Song Yuanbai said: "He is the emperor, and we are his subjects. If he doesn't listen to us, there is nothing we can do."

Song Yao said: "This topic is too heavy, let's not talk about it."

Chef Zhao came over and said, "Miss, I cooked a bowl of noodles for you. Come and eat first."

"Okay!" Song Yao nodded. She stood up, called everyone and went to the dining hall together.

After going to the dining hall and eating a bowl of noodles, Song Yao came into the house with two bowls of noodles.

Xiao Chi was playing with the two children. Seeing Song Yao coming with noodles, he asked, "Want to eat noodles today?"

"Yes!" Song Yao said, "You eat first, I'll feed them noodles."

"Okay!" Xiao Chi was really hungry.

He took the noodles and started eating.

Song Yao fed the two little ones.

They were all playing on the bed, and the bed was in a mess. When you think about it carefully, these boys are really too naughty, and there are two boys at the time.

If we wait until they grow up, it will be a disaster.

After finishing the noodles, Song Yao said, "I'll go out with them to buy food and fodder. You stay and look after the children."

"Okay!" Xiao Chi nodded and handed the bowl in his hand to Song Yao.

Song Yao left with two empty bowls.

Arriving at the front yard, Song Yao called Song Zizhou, Song Qing, Liu Zhen, Liu Yin, Xiao Yan, Li Zhao, Xie Cheng, Song Jing and others and left Prince Jing's Mansion.

Arriving at the grain and oil shop in the market, Song Yao bought out all the rice in the shop, but it was not enough, so she went to other grain shops.

After buying all the food, he asked someone to send it back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

After sending them all away, Song Yao went to buy out the food from four grain stores. Since the rice was limited, Song Yao finally decided to buy some flour.

After buying almost everything, Song Yao was left with only Song Zizhou, Liu Zhen, and Li Zhao.

The others have already sent the food back.

Song Zizhou asked, "Do you need to buy anything else?"

Song Yao said, "That food isn't enough. Let's go buy some more."

"Okay!" Song Zizhou nodded, and went to buy food with Song Yao again.

All day long, they were either buying food or on their way to buy food. It was not until dark that they returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.

For the next six months, Song Yao and the others bought food.

In the end, I bought 300,000 stones.

After buying these, I started buying various grasses for the war horses.

It took another two or three months.

During the time of preparing food and fodder, every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Song Yao would think of her family being ransacked and of being harmed by treacherous officials, and she would feel a surge of anger in her heart.

Finally, she could no longer sit still and decided to rebel.

That day, Song Yao came to Yuchi Lan's room, "Master."

Yuchi Lan was wiping the sword in his hand. Seeing Song Yao coming, he asked, "Disciple, what's wrong?"

Song Yao walked over to him and sat down. "Master, please calculate the time. We have already prepared everything we need to prepare. We can directly attack the Great Dynasty."

Song Yao became very excited at the thought of attacking the Great Dynasty.

They were preparing food and fodder during this period, and Yuchi Lan knew it.

After hearing what Song Yao said, he put down the sword and rag in his hands and said, "Is that so? Then let me calculate it. Let's try to take down the Great Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

Song Yao nodded. "Yes, we have been preparing food and fodder for more than half a year. We must conquer the Great Dynasty during this time. Otherwise, I am worried that we will not have enough food and fodder."

"Okay, I'll do the math." Yuchi Lan went to get a gray cloth bag containing a book.

Yuchi Lan took out the book and started flipping through it. When he saw a date, he started counting on his fingers.

After making the calculation, Yuchi Lan looked at Song Yao and said, "The eighteenth of this month is a good day, so let's go to war on this day."

Song Yao said, "Eighteen, that means there are still four days left."

"Yes." Yuchi Lan nodded.

"Okay, I got it." Song Yao stood up, "I'll go inform everyone."

"Okay." Yuchi Lan looked at Song Yao. After she left, he put away the book in his hand.
