I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Hu Bugui turned to look at Lu Jingsuo and said helplessly, "Old Lu, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the patient is incurable!"

Lu Jingshu looked deeply at Song Jingshu, his eyes as sharp as torches, trying to see through her heart.

This little girl must have some unspeakable secret. What made her want to give up her life?

He took a step forward, his eyes softening.

"Your foot needs treatment. If there's anything else, I'll take care of it for you!"

Song Jingshu lowered her head, said nothing, and clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.

She didn't dare to look Lu Jingsuo in the eye, for she was afraid that she would waver.

"Sir, you have helped me so much, but this is something only I can do. I cannot implicate you."

"Little girl, do you know what clothes I am wearing?"

Lu Jingsuo's tone changed.

As a Jinyiwei, he was keenly aware that this little girl was hiding many secrets. He seemed to have gradually understood them, but now the situation was urgent and he could only try to guide her quickly.

I hope this will get her attention and make her trust me.

Hearing Lu Jingsuo say this, Song Jingshu, who had just lowered her head, suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. That hope was like a ray of light seen in the darkness.

Lu Jingshu felt Song Jingshu's gaze and couldn't help but feel happy, feeling that he had more ways to guide her.

Song Jingshu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"The clothes I am wearing are called Flying Fish Robes. I am a sixth-rank commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, serving in Xianyang, and a member of the Heavenly Guard."

Lu Jingsuo puffed out his chest, pretending to be proud and showing off his identity.

"Execute first and report later. Do you understand this imperial privilege?"

Song Jingshu listened to Lu Jingshu's words and nodded as if she understood.

"Sir, I have a question. We are not related at all, so why are you so nice to me?"

This question has been on Song Jingshu's mind since the beginning. She really doesn't understand why this adult, whom she met by chance, is so caring towards her.

She looked at Lu Jingsuo with doubts in her eyes.

Lu Jingshu looked at Song Jingshu with a puzzled expression, as if she had asked a strange question.

He paused, his expression calm.

"Because, I am an official! You are the people! We officials should work for the people. It is only natural!"

"Any questions?"

Hearing Lu Jingsuo's answer, Song Jingshu felt like she was struck by lightning and her body trembled slightly.

She looked at Lu Jingsuo quietly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, and the painful memories that had been suppressed in her heart came flooding back like a tide.

"Then why! Why did the officials in my hometown kill my entire family?!"

Song Jingshu's voice was tearful, her eyes were filled with grief and indignation, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Why did the officials in my hometown steal all my food?"

“They killed my father and took my mother and sister away. When I went to find my mother and sister, they were left outside without any clothes on them!”

Her body trembled even more with excitement, and images of her family's suffering kept appearing in her mind.

"I don't understand! My father doesn't understand either! He asked them why they were taking our family's grain!"

"Tell him that official! It's His Majesty who wants to go to war, so he needs our food! If we have the guts, come to Chang'an and ask His Majesty!"

There was endless resentment in her eyes.

"He said that even if I went to Chang'an and met His Majesty, His Majesty wouldn't care! Because their surname is Wang, they are the Taiyuan Wang family! They were born to be superior to others!"

A raging fire of anger burned in her heart.

"Why? Why can they do whatever they want?"

Song Jingshu became increasingly agitated, shouting at Lu Jingshu at the top of her lungs, "I refuse to accept this! I'll keep walking, keep walking! I'll go all the way to Chang'an!"

"I just want to ask the emperor sitting in Chang'an! Does he know? My family relies on this little bit of food to survive for a year! I am the only one left in my family who died!"
