There were pointing voices all around, and Liu Chengyu felt his face was dull. He increasingly suspected that Xia Yunxian was doing it on purpose, deliberately embarrassing him in front of everyone!
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a figure suddenly blocking his way.
"Sister has misunderstood the prince. He was also worried that you would contract the plague, so he almost implicated innocent people in his desperation!"
Jiang Ruyan looked aggrieved, and Liu Chengyu's eyes flashed, "What are you doing here?!"
She turned around and looked at him affectionately. She exuded a sense of resignation, and replied in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Ruyan said that she is willing to do anything for the Crown Prince. Even if she is reviled by thousands of people, Ruyan will not let the Crown Prince suffer!"
Liu Chengyu could not describe his mood at the moment, and most of his original dissatisfaction with Jiang Ruyan disappeared immediately.
The way their eyes intertwined caused various speculations to be heard all around again, "When did Prince Liu take a concubine? He is so rampant that even a concubine dares to challenge his legitimate mother!"
"I remember, she seems to be the adopted daughter of the Xia family. Isn't this just eating the inside out?"
"What is this adopted daughter thinking about protecting her brother-in-law so much that she wants to retaliate against her sister and poach her sister? She doesn't even look at what she is!"
Jiang Ruyan's face stiffened, and Xia Yunxian looked at her increasingly panicked eyes with a half-smile, and even Liu Chengyu lost the arrogance he had before.
It turns out that this pair of adulterers and adulterers actually have a sense of shame!
Seeing all kinds of unpleasant humiliations, Jiang Ruyan's legs felt a little weak. She wanted to seize this opportunity to regain Liu Chengyu's favor, but she never thought that everyone would turn to Xia Yunxian!
She had never seen such a battle before, and she began to regret her recklessness. The curses made her face burn so hard that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
At this moment, Xia Yunxian finally stood up slowly, lowering his eyes and looking extremely guilty.
"Sister is right, maybe I really misunderstood the Crown Prince."
Liu Chengyu and Jiang Ruyan both looked over in surprise, and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly the people became even more indignant.
"The Crown Princess is really magnanimous. She is doing this to save face for others and the prince's mansion!"
"The old Marquis is watching from the spirit of heaven. Don't go too far as a human being. Just give up when you see fit!"
What? !
What's going on with these people? Didn't Xia Yunxian admit his mistake? They are still insisting on it. It's simply unreasonable!
This time, Liu Chengyu couldn't stay any longer, so he pulled Jiang Ruyan and quickly returned to the yard. Looking at the two people who fled, Chunxiao felt unwilling to do so.
"With such a good opportunity, why didn't the Crown Princess expose their adultery in person?"
Xia Yunxian was silent.
expose?
It was nothing more than forcing the dog to jump over the wall, and she had already seen it. During this period, Liu Chengyu clearly had a prejudice against Jiang Ruyan, otherwise her good sister would not have to risk being accused by thousands of people today to defend him.
If their love, which is so unparalleled in the world, is easily defeated, it will make her disappointed and boring.
"So, the Crown Princess can really cure strange diseases?" While everyone was still fighting for Xia Yunxian, an old woman tremblingly squeezed out with a child.
Shen Ping, who was protected in Chunxiao's arms, nodded immediately, "It's true, the Crown Princess saved my life and even cleaned my wounds!"
The hope of birth finally bloomed in the old woman's cloudy eyes. She tremblingly took off the shawl that was tightly wrapped around herself, as well as the thick coat on her grandson. The sight in front of her made people take a breath. gas.
The abscesses on Shen Ping's body have been treated, so they are not so shocking.
However, none of the grandparents and grandchildren had any intact skin, and the wounds that were already red, swollen and ulcerated still exuded a stench.
"I beg the Crown Princess to save my grandson..." The old woman was about to kneel down, but Xia Yunxian reached out to stop her.
She didn't have the slightest dislike or fear, but asked with concern, "Old madam, how many days have you been sick? Are there other sick people rushing to Kyoto on the way?"
"It's the fifth day. We originally went to Kancheng next door to join our relatives, but our relatives didn't dare to stay when they saw us like this."
"Then I heard from several officials that the Crown Princess of Yongdinghou Mansion in the capital could cure this disease, so I took a small road and came here. There were many people behind me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures who were ready to move bravely came forward from behind. Like the old woman, they were all tightly wrapped, and their eyes were full of fear and worry, for fear of being expelled.
Xia Yunxian calmed down, and then ordered Chunxiao, "Let all the servants in the yard come out to help immediately. Some people will set up a porridge shed, and some people will prepare medicine and distribute it!"
Porridge shed? !
There were actually many people who were sick who cried with joy. They all came from poor backgrounds, and like Shen Ping, they were kicked out by their employers after getting sick.
After receiving the news that someone in the capital could save them, they rushed over with all their might. Who was not starving?
The scene was a little restless for a while, everyone wanted to get the first bite, for fear that it would be gone if it was too late.
Seeing this, the palace guards took the initiative to protect Xia Yunxian behind her, but she had already expected it and said in a very calm voice, "Everyone, please rest assured, the medicine and porridge are enough. As long as there is no trouble or chaos, I, my concubine, will I guarantee that everyone will be safe and sound!"
…
On the other side, Jiang Ruyan, who returned to the house, suddenly collapsed in Liu Chengyu's arms and raised her head pitifully.
"Is the prince still weird like Ru Yan?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Douda's tears immediately fell down, "Even if I give Ruyan another chance to come back, I will do the same thing."
"When Ruyan saw the prince for the first time, she knew that she would not marry anyone in this life, even if she did it by any means! It was Ruyan who disappointed the prince. They were right, Ruyan had no qualifications to expect to get the prince's love. .”
"Ruyan has no regrets. At least God has given me a pair of flesh and blood that belongs to the prince. Even if Ruyan suffered retribution and was beaten to death just now, he would not complain at all!"
Recalling the way she protected him just now and mentioned the two children, Liu Chengyu's heart finally softened.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I let you be beaten to death..."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, there was a sudden commotion in the house, and soon the old lady, Grandma Lei and a group of servants were seen rushing over in a panic.
"Quickly, open the treasury and see how much food is left in it!"
The two of them didn't know what was going on. Mrs. Liu was so angry that she stepped forward and pulled them away. "It's now like this, and you're still arguing! Several rice and grain shops in Beijing were robbed. It was said that the mob was causing trouble, and there were also gifts. Mi’s caravan was also robbed on the road!”
Aunt Lei was also sweating profusely, "Yes, Your Majesty, please think of a way. Right now, all the mansions are busy stocking up on food. Even if you have money, you won't be able to buy it!"
