"Qing'er, no good, something big happened!"
When Risong came to the backyard with a gloomy expression and hurried steps, Yang Ruoqing, Sun and Xiaohua were picking up the radishes in the basket in front of them.
The famine has been going on for almost a year, and there is almost no output from the fields.
Almost all the wheat in early spring, later the rice, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden were eaten by locusts.
After finally surviving until the second half of the year, the first crop of radishes was finally ready to be eaten.
When the radishes had grown to the size of a child's fist, Mrs. Sun could not wait to shovel a basket back for the family to eat.
When Risong came over that day, Yang Ruoqing was squatting on the ground, picking out a few white radishes with white skin, green leaves, and roots still covered with soil.
I was wondering whether I should use the radish to roast pork this afternoon, or go to the fish pond to catch a fat-headed fish and cook a spicy fish-head radish hot pot.
Suddenly hearing Narisong's words, Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes and looked at him.
"The sky is falling and there is still a tall person holding it up. What are you doing in such a panic!" she said with a smile.
I felt a little unhappy, wondering what happened to Natsu Kon that day?
I didn’t see that my mother and several sisters and brothers-in-law were there. What should I do if I frightened them with my roar?
However, Risong didn't seem to understand the hint in her words today, and he seemed to be a little confused.
"The sky is really falling!" He said solemnly, then glanced at Sun and the others beside Yang Ruoqing, and then said to Yang Ruoqing: "I'll wait for you in the front yard first!"
"Don't leave. If you have anything to say, just say it here." Sun suddenly said.
Not giving Yang Ruoqing a chance to stop her, the woman then asked Narisong: "Is there something going on with my son and son-in-law? Tell me quickly, don't hide it from me!"
It was rare for Risong to see Mrs. Sun like this that day, and his inquiring eyes immediately turned to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing knew she couldn't avoid it, so she could only say to Narisong: "What is going on? Just tell it here!"
Narisong frowned and said, "Emperor Qi passed away!"
"What?"
Yang Ruoqing's decibel also suddenly increased, "Real death or fake death? Is the news reliable? If it was a death? How did it happen?"
Tang Yazi is now the number one escort and bodyguard around Emperor Qi.
If Emperor Qi really dies, his responsibility...
Narisong said: "The news came from Helanzhou and our own information network. The news should be true."
"I heard that Emperor Qi died of poisoning after eating a locust alive!"
"You won't die if you eat locusts!" Xiao Hua beside him couldn't help but said, "Our villagers also ate them last time. They are similar to cicada pupae. They are crunchy and will not be poisoned."
Yang Ruoqing said: "We fried it in a pan and sterilized it at high temperature."
"What we are going to discuss now is not how to eat locusts. Narisong, tell me, Tang Yazi helped select the locusts and presented them to Emperor Qi, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked again, her breathing quickened a bit. .
Risong's face was already very ugly that day, almost as cold as freezing point.
"Well, it was Brother Fengtang who presented it with his own hands!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing's pupils shrank for a while.
"It's over, now Tangyazi fell into the mud!" She said solemnly.
"Thinking about murdering the emperor is a sinner in the world. He wants to kill the nine tribes..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden 'bang' sound in his ears.
But it was the carrot in Sun's hand that fell to the ground.
"son in law……"
Mrs. Sun let out a low cry, her eyelids turned white, and she fainted...
…
"You, you, let me tell you, what are you good at? My son is so old, and he is still reckless when doing things by himself."
"Ms. Qing'er has been worried about Da'an and Fengtang during this period. Qing'er always reports good news to her but not bad news,"
"Look at the good thing you did? It scared Qing'er's mother to death!"
At the corner of the courtyard wall outside the house, Xiao Yaxue grabbed Na Risong's ears and scolded him in a low voice.
Risong also looked annoyed that day.
Xiao Yaxue looked up and saw Yang Ruoqing coming out of the house.
She hurriedly took back her hand and waved to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, how is your mother doing now? Are you awake?"
Yang Ruoqing saw the young couple here as soon as she came out, and naturally saw Xiao Yaxue teaching Narisong a lesson.
Arriving in front of the couple, Yang Ruoqing said: "My mother just woke up, and Uncle Fu said it was the blood that attacked her heart. As long as she is in a calm mood these past few days and doesn't let her be irritated, it should be fine."
Xiao Yaxue nodded repeatedly, then raised her hand and pinched Narisong again, "It's your turn to speak!"
Risong looked at Yang Ruoqing with an apologetic look on that day: "Qing'er, I'm really sorry. It's because I didn't think carefully..."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to interrupt him, "It's okay. Even if we don't talk about it today, we can't hide such a big thing. My parents will know sooner or later."
Narisong nodded, but his face was still full of shame.
Yang Ruoqing had no intention of comforting Nari Song, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Is there any follow-up news?"
Narisong said: "Yes."
"Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared," she said.
It was undeniable that when she heard that Emperor Qi's death was caused by eating a raw locust, and that the locust was provided by Luo Fengtang, she was shocked beyond words.
But now, after all the fuss, her mood gradually calmed down.
Anxiety and panic, worry and fear are the only ways to cope with adversity.
In adversity, we must seek for light, a way out, a turning point, even the slightest hope.
Yang Ruoqing looked around again and said, "Let's go and talk in my room."
When the three of them came to Yang Ruoqing's house, Risong said directly: "I heard that Emperor Qi's dragon body is still in the camp in Helanzhou, and Fengtang is also in Helanzhou, heavily guarded."
"Besides guarding it with heavy troops, what else did Tangyao do? Did he block the news or send news to the second prince? What about the capital? What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked repeatedly.
Narisong said: "The information is currently blocked, but it is obviously unsuccessful. Since I can know it, other parties will also know it."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, that was indeed the truth.
"Before the Emperor's personal expedition to Helanzhou, how did the other princes arrange it?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
She only knew that Qi Xingyun went to the border between the north and Daliao. He had always been assigned to guard the north.
Otherwise, he will go to the west. In short, unless Emperor Qi gives an order, Qi Xingyun will not be able to return to the capital without permission even if the sky falls.
Even if Emperor Qi ordered him to return to the capital, he could not bring any other troops with him except for a bodyguard of about a hundred people around him.
That Risong's voice sounded again: "The eldest prince Qi Xingming and the second prince Qi Xingchen stayed in the capital to handle government affairs together, and the three great bachelors in the cabinet assisted them."
Hearing the name of the second prince Qi Xingchen, Yang Ruoqing's heart twitched instinctively.
stars...
This is also the name of his son, Luo Xingchen. When the twins were born, the second prince Qi Xingchen gave his name to his son.
