Chapter 534 The Regent is not omnipotent
Shen Ruzhou took the rescued children back to the inn to take care of them. Two of the children had fever, so she took some medicine to treat wind and cold and set up a medicine stove in the room to cook it.
After Bei Xiuyan washed and changed clothes in the clean room, he heard the cry of a child coming from the guest room on the second floor, so he went up to check.
Pushing the door open and walking in, I saw Shen Ruzhou holding her child in one hand and holding a medicine bowl in the other, sweating profusely from her work. Bei Xiuyan was about to go up to help, but heard Shen Ruzhou say: "Go and check on the one on the bed first. He has been crying for a while."
How could Bei Xiuyan take care of the child? Standing by the bed and looking at the crying baby, he felt that he had no idea what to do.
He imitated Shen Ruzhou and bent down to pick up the child. It was also strange. As soon as Bei Xiuyan picked him up, the child stopped crying and stared at Bei Xiuyan with a pair of big black eyes. It was really cute.
Bei Xiuyan was walking around the room with the child in his arms. Suddenly, a stream of heat shot out, and he was caught off guard and was doused all over him.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ming quickly reached out and picked up the child.
This scene happened to be seen by Shen Ruzhou, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the regent, who had always looked so neat and tidy in the past, being peed all over by a child.
"It turns out that the prince is not omnipotent."
Bei Xiuyan's eyes moved slightly and he admitted generously, "I really don't know how to take care of children." Then, as if he thought of something, he leaned into Shen Ruzhou's ear and whispered, "But I will learn how to do it in the future. He will definitely take good care of our children.”
Shen Ruyi was stunned, remembering the previous scene where he and Bei Xiuyan were lingering on the bed, and his cheeks could not help but get hot.
There was a burst of noisy footsteps in the stairwell outside. Several village women stood at the door. The leading woman looked into the house. It was the aunt she met by the river during the day.
"Miss Shen, Li Zheng asked us to help take care of the children."
"Great, come in." Shen Ruzhou happily greeted everyone into the house. These women have all given birth and raised children, so they are good at taking care of children. Shen Ruzhou safely handed over this place to them, got up and took Bei Xiuyan to the next door to start again. Change clothes.
After taking off his clothes, Shen Ruzhou was surprised to see the dragon tattoo on Bei Xiuyan's back. Why hadn't he noticed it before? "Your Majesty, when was this tattoo tattooed?"
Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Beixiu Yan's eyes. He turned to look at the bronze mirror in the room and saw a green dragon tattoo on his back.
"When I was young, Taoist Master Xuanqing recognized me as a closed disciple and taught me martial arts. Although I was a lay disciple, I still had a tattoo on my back in gratitude for my master's kindness." Beixiu Yan recalled the past when he was a child, and a feeling surged in his heart. A complicated thought, "Later, when the dynasty changed, Master was afraid that I would bring trouble to the sect and removed me. In order to hide my identity, I used a secret potion to cover the tattoo. Maybe the potion failed over the years and the tattoo appeared again."
Hearing that this tattoo was related to the status of the royal family before the Beixiu Banquet, Shen Ruzhou was so shocked that he took a breath of cold air, "Yesterday I was busy saving the children and didn't pay attention to it. I wonder if this tattoo was looked at by anyone else? "
Her eyes were full of confusion, but then she thought about it, remembering that the people on the embankment yesterday were poor people, and wondered if she was worrying too much.
Bei Xiuyan stretched out his long arms, took Shen Ruzhou into his arms, and comforted him with a gentle voice, "Don't worry, not many people know about this, so it won't be discovered easily."
Shen Ruzhou nodded, brushed his fingertips over the tattoo, and felt the depth of the color, "Your Majesty, I can prepare a potion to completely clean this tattoo, but I wonder if Your Majesty is willing?"
This tattoo was the only evidence of Bei Xiuyan and his mentor. Shen Ruzhou knew that he missed his old friendship the most, so he asked carefully.
Bei Xiuyan stared at the tattoo in the bronze mirror for a long time, then he said lightly: "Wash it off, just keep some thoughts in your heart."
In Kyoto, Xiao Chenyan was immediately furious after learning that Shen Ruzhou rushed to Yongzhou overnight with supplies.
Jun Wu didn't dare to express his anger at the side. He raised his eyes and asked Mu Wanqing for help.
On the soft couch, Mu Wanqing had enough time to watch Xiao Chenyan lose his temper, with a trace of imperceptible sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
After Xiao Chenyan calmed down, Mu Wanqing said, "Your Highness, Miss Shen did too much this time. Your Highness should teach her a lesson."
"lesson?"
"If it weren't for His Highness's blind connivance, how could Shen Ruzhou be so bold and completely ignore His Highness?" Mu Wanqing pointed out the key point.
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan was thoughtful. He sat on the couch, clenched his hands into fists unconsciously, and said sternly: "That makes sense. Shen Ruzhou should know the consequences of angering me."
Mu Wanqing felt proud when she heard what he said, "Your Highness, since Shen Ruzhou brought so much food to Yongzhou, then we will release the news and let the victims grab it. When the time comes, you can come forward to calm the situation. You can not only gain a good reputation, but also You can take over things legitimately."
"Good idea." Xiao Chenyan tightened his knuckles on the cup again, exuding a fierce arrogance that he had everything under his control.
At noon the next day, the broken bridge had been repaired. Shen Ruzhou entrusted the children to the care of the villagers and continued to Yongzhou City with the convoy.
The further they walked, the muddy the road became. The journey that originally took more than two hours actually took the group a whole day.
When they arrived at the gate of Yongzhou City, the guards heard that they were here for disaster relief and quickly informed Yongzhou Magistrate Miao Hope.
Miao expected to arrive quickly. Looking at dozens of carts of supplies, he welcomed Shen Ruzhou into the government office with a smile on his face.
Shen Ruzhou rested briefly and asked Miao Youyou to take her to the disaster relief site.
Her feet were scratched by stones in the muddy water during the day, and she walked with a slight limp.
Next to him, Bei Xiuyan was dressed in an ordinary waiter's outfit. Seeing Shen Ruzhou's difficulty in walking, he didn't care much and took two steps quickly, holding her arm and walking alongside her.
Shen Ruzhou turned his face to smile at him and said softly, "Thank you."
The state capital has set up temporary straw shelters throughout the city for homeless victims to rest.
It was already evening, and the victims were all queuing up in front of the porridge shed.
Shen Ruzhou stepped forward and saw that there was not much rice in the large pot of porridge. The soup was so clear that people could be seen in it.
Miao hoped to say in embarrassment: "There is really no food."
Shen Ruzhou was moved, and immediately called for the attendants, "Go and carry a few loads of food, so that everyone can have a full meal tonight."
"Yes." The clerk left in response, and Miao Hope burst into tears of gratitude, "Miss Shen is truly a bodhisattva. I would like to thank Miss Shen for her great kindness on behalf of the people of Yongzhou."
