Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

................

"At the critical moment, the ferocious beast sealed in my body blocked the attack for me, but Xiao Ci, Lu Jiu, Chu Xiaoyi, A Li and the others were not so lucky."

When Yue Yuan said these words, his expression was filled with guilt, as if he was a banished immortal from heaven who had fallen to earth.

Yaoyao nodded, her soft and tender cheeks trembled, her brows slightly furrowed, and her chubby face showed an unprecedented seriousness.

"We have to go to the ruins to find the antidote."

Yue Yuan frowned and asked, "What kind of poison did they get? What antidote do they need?"

"I don't know what kind of poison it is. Only by going to the ruins and finding the person you mentioned can we know what poison they were infected with." Yaoyao glanced back at Xiao Ci, whose face was gradually turning red and his breathing was steady, and said, "I have temporarily suppressed the poison in Xiao Ci Guoguo's body. We only have ten days."

The Emperor then walked up to Yaoyao and asked with a frown, "Didn't you say that your coming here could cure Ci'er's poison?"

This is questioning Yaoyao's ability.

Yaoyao's round, star-like eyes kept staring at the emperor. After looking at him for a long time, she slowly said, "As the ruler of a country, how much do you know about the affairs of the world?"

Throw the question back.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a very confident tone, "Of course. Although I am not as knowledgeable about astronomy and geography as the Imperial Master, I do know about the affairs of my people."

When he said this, he had a confident expression on his face......................

It was not at all as unkind as the scolding of the imperial physician just now.

Yaoyao's round, pink face had a dimple, and she smiled sweetly, though the smile didn't reach her eyes. She tilted her head and said in a baby voice, "Then let me ask you, how much money and grain did you allocate to the north for the drought?"

"I am naturally distressed by the drought in the north. I have transferred grain from the south to the north and allocated another 1,667 dan of grain from the national treasury to the north. This will not only reduce the number of people who die from starvation in the north, but also ensure that the south is well fed..."

The drought in the north lasted for three years, and the emperor naturally took countermeasures. When he talked about this, he was quite proud and talked about it endlessly.

The passionate speech was interrupted by an excited voice.

"You're lying! We've been starving for so long and so many people have died. We haven't received any food at all. Other villages are even exchanging their own children for food!

We fled all the way to the south, hoping to settle down there. But just as we were settling down, we were faced with forced conscription. In our village, many families lost their sons to the battlefield and never returned. There are many elderly widows and widowers, and disabled soldiers at home. Now, with forced conscription again, there's no one left who can work!

"You say you know the affairs of the people of the world, but do you know these things? Do you know how many people starved to death in the north? You know nothing, what kind of emperor are you?"

Guoan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his words were sharp and harsh, and his speech was so fast that people had no time to cover his mouth.

At the end he even cursed the emperor.

The emperor stood there in a daze, his face red for the first time. When he heard what Guoan said, he looked at him in disbelief.

"Haha, judging from your expression, you have no idea what's going on. Your ministers have been kept in the dark about this, and they must be secretly laughing at you, the foolish emperor!"

Seeing the emperor's expression, Guoan became even angrier and couldn't help but curse again.

If the emperor had paid more attention to these matters, they would not have starved for three years, nor would they have almost lost their lives on the way to the south.

He still remembers the scene when the bandits surrounded their family. He was trembling as he held his little sister in his arms, with his grandmother and mother standing in front of them.

The way grandpa, dad, uncle and others fought hard.

Although the bandits were dealt with by Xiao Hei, if they had not been hungry, they would have stayed in the village in peace.

My uncle didn't have to be forced into conscription.

The emperor came to his senses and looked at the imperial teacher, seeking an answer.

"We originally planned to wait until we found out about this matter before telling the emperor. They said it was indeed true. The northern part of the disaster relief grain did not receive a single grain of rice at that time."

Yue Yuan's words hit the emperor's heart hard, and he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

After a long pause, he finally came to his senses, then said with a face full of anger and gnashing teeth: "Well, well, it seems that no minister in the court is sincere to me, and everyone is deceiving me!"

"I will investigate this matter right now and settle accounts with them!"

Having said that, he left without even caring about his own child.

But Yue Yuan stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to protect Ci'er. What if...?"

Yue Yuan did not continue speaking.

The emperor understood Yue Yuan's words.

Yes, when I went to the south, I was chased all the way by the person behind the scenes and was seriously injured. I was able to escape only after faking my death.

Now he was inexplicably driven to the ruins and returned seriously injured.

Each of these incidents is very likely related to the person who killed the former queen.

"The emperor's words just now really chilled the Lu family's heart. If they knew what the emperor just said, they would be very sad." Yue Yuan reminded them.

The emperor had an unnatural expression on his face and said, "I was just excited.

Yaoyao stood up, tucked the quilt for Xiao Ci, confirmed his condition again, and then turned around to look at Yue Yuan.

"Where are the others? Take me over to see how they're doing."

What happened in the past is already past tense for Yaoyao, but it does not mean that it is past tense for the common people. They must be made to know that their emperor has not given up on them and has allocated relief grain to them. However, they are greedy and have been exploited at all levels, making a fortune with this life-saving grain.

As for how the emperor would resolve this matter, Yaoyao didn't care.

Yue Yuan nodded to the emperor and took Yaoyao and Guoan to Lu Jiu and the others.

After hearing these things, Xiao Hei shook his body.

He sighed deeply...

Human beings are so complicated, not at all as simple as the lives of animals.

For example, a tuft of white hair, a green snake, a gold-seeking tree, and a giant centipede are all very simple.

One pill can drown their mouths.

Only the emperor was left there, deep in thought.

..............

Yaoyao followed Yueyuan to Lu Jiu.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled a pungent and unpleasant smell of medicine.

Lu Jiu, Chu Xiaoyi, and A Li lay on the bed with pale faces. Yaoyao went forward to check their bodies.

Confirmed that the poison they were infected with was the same as Xiao Ci's.

He first suppressed the poison in their bodies, set up a barrier on them, and told the Lu family not to let anyone enter the room without permission.

He went into the palace again and set up a barrier on Xiao Ci.

This barrier is different from the previous ones. This time, when someone wants to hurt them, Yaoyao can know in advance and fight back.

Finish these things.

Yaoyao and Yueyuan prepared to set off for the ruins.

Before leaving, Yaoyao gave the emperor a jade pendant. When she looked at the emperor, her eyes seemed as if the emperor would not live long.

This made the emperor scratch his head and feel anxious.

Finally, after listening to Yue Yuan’s explanation, I understood the function of the jade pendant.

It turns out it was used to protect him.

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth, feeling comforted.

But, I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't figure out what it is.

Guoan sat aside and rolled his eyes.

In his pocket were a stack of blasting talismans and a dozen jade pendants.

If the blasting talisman could be thrown at will, the first person he would want to hit would be him.

Yaoyao and Yueyuan were worried about Old Lady Liu, so they went to the east of the city.

When I was lying on the roof looking at Old Lady Liu, I found that Nanny Nan was there too. I was extremely happy, especially when I saw Nanny Nan's bulging belly, my eyes narrowed.

From her eyes, one could clearly see a blue lotus and a pink lotus leaning against each other, and the endless spiritual energy was nourishing Nan Ma who was connected to them.
