Chapter 201: Licking the dog, losing everything
"What!?" Shen Ruzhou was stunned.
Is Xiao Chenyan mentally ill? In order not to reconcile with her, he actually went to a showdown with the emperor!
Moreover, he must know that Liaodong is dangerous. Even if the epidemic has not started yet, he must know about the drought.
Although he was a prince, he had suffered a lot when he was young. He knew better than she did that people would go crazy without food and would do any extreme things, but he still dared to go, just to avoid it. Make peace with her?
Although Xiao Chenyan also went to Liaodong in his previous life, he was ordered to do so in a critical situation and there was a reward. If he didn't handle it well, the emperor would never blame him.
That time, he handled it well. After he came back, the emperor's attitude towards him changed a lot, and his status also increased, including his mother's concubine.
But if he goes this time, he won't get any benefits except not being able to reconcile with her. If he doesn't handle it well, he will definitely be punished.
Eunuch Xu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has taken on such a dangerous job in order to win back the Princess. Princess, please don't get angry with the Prince. Go back to the palace as soon as possible and wait for the Prince to come back."
Who wants to go back? How can the bad relationship between her and Xiao Chenyan be cut off!
It's all Xiao Chenyan's fault. If he hadn't always been in the way, she would have ended their relationship with him long ago!
Shen Ruzhou scolded Xiao Chenyan a thousand times in his heart, suppressed his anger and pulled his lips, "Thank you, father-in-law, I have to go on a trip."
She personally sent Eunuch Xu off and stood at the door to calm down for a while.
The emperor wanted to get rid of her so much that he had murderous intentions several times, wishing that she and Xiao Chenyan had never known each other, but nothing could be changed. It would not help if she entered the palace, so he could only wait for Xiao Chenyan to come back.
It's better to start with the famine now. She has a lot of grain on hand. If she gives the grain to Bei Xiuyan to help him solve the famine, Bei Xiuyan will win the hearts of the people and it should help him to rebel as soon as possible.
Although I couldn't figure out why Beixiu Yan rebelled in his previous life, his reputation was really bad. He was a cold-blooded and ruthless living king of hell in his previous life. If his reputation was not dealt with properly, many people would be dissatisfied with him after he came to power.
She immediately took a carriage and went to the Regent's Palace.
……
At this time, Hongxiang, the maid of Taishi Mansion, looked worried, "Miss, I have checked with all the grain stores in the capital, but there is no food. What should I do?"
Yu Yan'er opened the curtain of the carriage, frowned and glanced at the homeless people on the street outside, and said with disgust and annoyance: "Why are there so many beggars? It's disgusting to look at them."
No matter how Yu Yan'er tried to change the subject, Hongxiang still said: "Just now, my slaves and others beat up the owner of the rice shop, but they still couldn't buy anything. It shows that there is really no extra food in Beijing."
Yu Yan'er, "Think of another way! Dad has asked me to buy food. If I can't buy anything, what do you want me to do?"
Hongxiang pursed her lips and stopped talking. Suddenly, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a bullock cart pulling several bags of grain!
Hongxiang was surprised and said: "Miss, that man has food!"
Yu Yaner immediately ordered: "Hurry up and follow them!"
The carriage sped forward and stopped the ox cart carrying grain at the intersection.
When going out to the Grand Master's Mansion, the civilians on the street consciously ducked to one side and did not dare to provoke him.
Hongxiang got out of the carriage, walked over and shouted, "Which family do you belong to? Our lady wants to do your business."
Miaodong frowned and looked at the arrogant woman. She suddenly felt unhappy and said directly: "We won't sell it. You can find someone else to buy it."
Hongxiang pointed to the lantern on his carriage, "You see clearly, we are the Xu family of the Taishi Mansion. Doing business with you is to promote you!"
Miaodong said with a straight face: "I said I won't sell it anymore, so hurry up and leave!"
After that, Miaodong called to the driver to drive.
Hong Xiang's eyes rolled, and the next moment he rushed forward, grabbing a bag of grain, "We are willing to pay a high price, don't you know how to flatter us!"
Miaodong clenched his fists, "Why, you still want to snatch it away!"
Hongxiang sneered, rushed forward, grabbed a bag of grain, and dragged it out.
Miaodong was startled and hurriedly tried to stop him, "You are robbing me openly. Do you have any other methods?"
Hongxiang pushed Miaodong away, and Miaodong fell to the ground. A delicately crafted jade ring fell out of her arms. Miaodong was startled, picked it up in a hurry, and carefully put it into her arms.
Seeing that a bag of grain was about to be snatched away by Hong Xiang, Miao Dong was anxious and was about to do something. Suddenly, a stone flew over and hit Hong Xiang squarely on the forehead.
"Ah!" Hong Xiang cried out in pain and covered his head to look, "Who dares to hit me without eyes! I..."
When Hongxiang saw the visitor, he didn't dare to say anything.
"What are you? I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen such shameless people." Shen Ruzhou was dressed in red, and there was a bit of cold evil aura in her beauty. She walked over slowly, with a sarcastic expression on her beautiful face. .
"You guys, the Yu family, are really good at robbing people on the street!"
"Miss!" Miaodong stood up quickly and walked to Shen Ruzhou's side.
In another carriage, Yu Yan'er, who heard the commotion, also got down. When she saw Shen Ruzhou, she put on an arrogant look on her face and said arrogantly.
"It turns out it's your family's food. Please give me a price."
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Shen Ruzhou's lips, and two words came out from his red lips: "No, sell."
Yu Yan'er's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't buy food everywhere, she wouldn't be rushing to do business with Shen Ruzhou!What's more, at the palace banquet yesterday, she saw that Shen Ruzhou had offended many people, and she didn't want to talk to Shen Ruzhou!
She raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly, "You can pay whatever you want, my Yu family can afford it!"
Shen Ruzhou said calmly, "I just don't want to sell it to you."
"You!" Yu Yan'er raised her eyebrows and looked ugly, "Now there is no food in the capital. You own so much and refuse to sell it. You just want to starve others to death. For your own sake, you don't care about the lives of others, and you care about human lives. !You must sell it to me!”
Shen Ruzhou sneered and looked at Yu Yan'er's domineering look, "It's really eye-opening for a famous and talented girl in the capital to show her face and block the road to beg for food, just like a beggar."
Yu Yaner's face suddenly turned red and white, "Shen Ruzhou, you..."
"Okay." Shen Ruzhou said continuously, "If you really want it, I can give it to you."
Yu Yaner held back her anger and said, "You know what I mean!"
"But I can't sell it to you at a high price, lest anyone say it's hard for me to make a fortune for the country, so let's-"
Shen Ruzhou patted the food on the car and said loudly: "If you want a few bags, just kowtow to me a few times. If you kowtow loudly, I will show my kindness and give it to you for free."
The expression on Yu Yaner's pretty face suddenly changed, and she glared at Shen Ruzhou with blazing eyes, "Shen Ruzhou, you are going too far!"
Shen Ruzhou looked innocent, "I just asked you to kowtow, and I didn't even take any money. How could you go too far to bully someone? This is such a good deal, think about it carefully!"
Yu Yaner was shaking all over, "Even if I, Yu Yaner, starve to death, I will not suffer such humiliation!"
She looks quite arrogant. In her previous life, she sucked her cousin's blood and did things worse than animals.
Shen Ruzhou tangled his slender fingers in his hair and said with a smile: "Then there's nothing you can do, let's get out of the way, you're always blocking the road and making people laugh."
Yu Yan'er looked at the common people watching the theater on the roadside, clenched her hands tightly, looked at Shen Ruzhou, and suddenly sneered.
"You sent these to the Tutor's Mansion, right? Do you think Ji Feng will watch me suffer without food?"
"As long as I say something, believe it or not, he will immediately deliver the food to my door—"
