"It stands to reason that there are not many sick refugees entering the city right now, so there shouldn't be a food grab happening so quickly!"
Xia Yunxian also received the news. She looked at the longer and longer queue in front of her with confusion. In addition to hope, they also had the fear of being refused diagnosis. In this case, who dares to cause trouble at the feet of the emperor?
"My slaves also find it strange. Shouldn't everyone with such a strange disease be so helpless? How can they have the strength to do such unscrupulous things! Aren't they afraid of being kicked out of Kyoto and not being treated?"
As soon as Chunxiao reminded him, Xia Yunxian's heart suddenly sounded alarm!
Mist bombs? !
At this time, several well-dressed men in the crowd attracted Xia Yunxian's attention. Their eyes were locked on the porridge shed, and then they looked at the palace guards with fear and refused to leave.
"Chunxiao, ask the kitchen immediately to make the porridge thinner and add some grit."
"Prince Concubine, why is this?!" Chunxiao couldn't help being surprised. Since she was going to give porridge, how could she let the patient eat such a thing?
Xia Yunxian's expression was extremely serious, "You will know soon!"
Seeing that there were more and more people in the back alley of the Hou Mansion, the patients who had drank porridge and received medicine were squatting in the corner as if they had been reborn. They were quiet and did not dare to cause trouble, which was completely contrary to the rumors.
Xia Yunxian still remembers that at that time, everyone said that the refugees from the plague were committing all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, robbing, and robbing them, and the government suppressed them for a long time before they were completely eliminated!
If her guess was true, then in the previous life these old, weak, sick and disabled people had obviously done nothing, yet they were treated as mobs and hacked to death with random swords, while the real people behind the scenes were at large!
They just want to survive, and they are even careful not to make a noise when they speak. What's wrong with them? !
A carriage stopped not far away, and two guards came to Xia Yunxian respectfully.
"Prince Concubine, my prince has heard about your charity. It is not good for so many patients to stay in the alley. Why not put them in the training ground in the western suburbs, and set up the porridge shed and medicine shed there? What do you think? ?”
Xia Yunxian raised her eyes and saw Prince Pingnan in the carriage nodding slightly at her to show his approval.
"In that case, Unzen would like to thank the prince on behalf of the refugees!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of angry curses from the team.
"Damn it, what kind of porridge is this? How can you, Yongding Marquis Mansion, feed people this kind of ghost stuff? Is it because you want to gain fame?"
The man suddenly threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, rushed into the shed, grabbed the maid's spoon and poured it into the pot, shouting angrily.
"Look! It's just a few grains of rice, but there's gravel underneath. Don't pretend to be a good person if you don't want to give up money!"
Someone immediately echoed, "Yes, if I get a bad stomach, can you afford to pay for it?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. They looked down at the porridge in their bowls, hesitating whether they should eat it or not.
The guards were about to take action, but were stopped by Xia Yunxian.
She faced the troublemakers expressionlessly, and then smiled softly.
"Brothers, my porridge shack is set up for patients. You have hands and feet and are well-dressed. You don't look like refugees. How dare you come to grab porridge?"
The eyes of those people flickered, and they quickly cursed, "We think you are deliberately feeding the patients like pigs? Even pigs won't eat this thing!"
However, Xia Yunxian is not annoyed, "Are you not used to it? Do you need to add some abalone, ginseng and wing tripe? I am here to treat illnesses and save people, not to raise moths!"
Now that everyone in Beijing is aware of the food grab, people with evil intentions will naturally focus on the porridge shacks here!
They are young, strong, and free from illness and disaster. If we really want them to be well fed, what's the point?
If we don't use some means, I'm afraid more scoundrels will come to snatch food. How can these real patients be able to rob them?
"I, we are refugees, we just haven't gotten sick yet. Who doesn't know that the Crown Princess of Yongding Marquis Mansion is very rich. She can obviously let us eat delicious rice porridge, but she insists on humiliating people like this!"
They began to encourage the patient next to them, "The child is still so young. If she chokes on the gravel in the porridge, she will be killing someone!"
The old woman looked at her young grandson in her arms and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Not yet sick? The first symptom of a person infected with the disease is hoarseness of the voice. You are so angry, and look at the clothes you are wearing. How many refugees here can afford to wear them?"
"This time, strange diseases occur frequently in various places. How long have they suffered and how long have they been hungry when they came to the capital? Who would be as picky as you? If you are not desperate, why bother to steal others' lives!"
Xia Yunxian spoke sternly. After hearing this, the refugees suddenly realized and their emotions immediately became excited.
"You are so shameless! You come here to grab our porridge even though you have something to eat!"
"The Crown Princess did the right thing, let alone gravel, even if it is just rice soup, we will be grateful!"
"There are so many dignitaries in the capital, but the Crown Princess is the only one who cares about our life and death. Why do you want to wrongly accuse her like this? Get out! Get out!"
For a moment, the refugees who were squatting in the corner stood up one after another, guarding Xia Yunxian behind them. Their eyes were filled with anger, and their expressions seemed like they wanted to eat people!
King Pingnan in the carriage watched this scene from a distance, and was extremely moved in his heart. She was so young, and faced with the questioning and provocation of those ruffians, she could still unite the people's hearts in the face of danger, which is really rare!
With a glance from him, the palace guards immediately stepped forward, "Take them away!"
The faces of the men changed, "Why are you arresting her? She is planning to harm others, so we should arrest her!"
The leading palace guard smiled contemptuously, "A few of the thugs who just robbed rice ran away. You must be accomplices. Stop talking nonsense, take them all away, and torture them severely!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, the troublemakers dared to stay any longer, but it was already too late to escape. Just as they were about to scatter, they were severely pressed to the ground!
"Sir, have mercy on me! My lord, please have mercy! We just want to have a bite to eat, and we really didn't rob the food store -"
The commotion here made the ordinary people in the crowd who had planned to eat porridge together immediately change their minds. These sick refugees were already going to die, so how could they eat sand porridge together?
And there is also the risk of going to jail, which is really not worth the gain!
Xia Yunxian looked at the backs of those who left angrily and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Today, my concubine is distributing medicine and serving porridge, not for the sake of good reputation, but because as a doctor, she cannot ignore death! It is impossible to estimate how many sick patients and refugees will come to Beijing in the future."
"In order to help one more person, I can only take this step. We all come from poor backgrounds. I believe we can overcome the current difficulties and get through it together!"
In the darkness, Bai Yujing wiped away the smoke stains on his face. Looking at Xia Yunxian in front of him who had stabilized the situation, he actually showed a slightly disappointed look.
"I seem to be late. You said Uncle Pingnan Wang is not a young man. Why are you joining in the fun?"
The secret guards beside him were speechless for a while. They were all disgraced. They had just finished putting out fires in several grain stores, and they immediately rushed over to help their master, the hero, save the beauty.
No idea, they won't be given a chance to play at all!
"My lord, you really want to impress the Crown Princess, so we can go and eat some porridge and then scold others. What do you think?"
"Can your idea be a little more bad?"
Bai Yujing glared at him with disdain, then leaned over and whispered instructions.
"..." The secret guard's expression froze. Sir, are you sure this idea is not bad?
