When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 156

Cheng Muqing said that he didn't give the medicine by himself, so He Qianyuan didn't ask any more questions.

Several people walked together, He Qianyuan did not go back to King Qi's camp with them, but returned to the camp where Golden Eagle Division was.

As soon as she returned to the camp, she heard that her eldest brother He Caijun had followed Si Wang to work.

She was not interested, so she returned to the account and went to rest.

Time passed quickly, and with the hot sun for several days, the weather became more and more sultry.

Cheng Muqing didn't like to go out in the first place, and now he doesn't like to go out even more.

It seems that the king is also in this sunny day, leading the victims to hoe the ground and build houses together.Tens of thousands of disaster victims respected and worshiped him even more.

Cheng Muqing and his wife had no interest in this, and stayed in the camp every day to read.Sometimes, Xiaohua or He Qianyuan would come to sit for a while.They also talked about things like kings.

What led the victims to sort out the wreckage after the disaster, reuse the waste, and rebuild a new shed.Or choose the most fertile land, raise mulberry seedlings, and wait for the next year to exchange for money...

Cheng Muqing often heard about these things, but in the end he couldn't hold back his curiosity. He put on dirty and torn clothes, tied up his beautiful hair with a scarf, touched two handfuls of dirt on his face, and walked out of the tent.

Beside her was Lin Heng who looked more like a disaster victim than her.

Although Lin Heng has gained some flesh now, he is still the weak type among his peers.

"No wonder you pretended to be a beggar before, Zhao Liangxu didn't even have any doubts." Cheng Muqing looked him up and down, "You really look like poor people..."

From top to bottom, there is no trace of wealth.

Lin Heng blinked his eyes, looked at her quietly, and then smiled silly at her.

"Now it's more like..." Cheng Muqing muttered silently.

"Huh?" Lin Heng didn't hear what she said clearly.

"Let's go." Cheng Muqing took his arm.

The two walked out of the tent, Jinxi and Mingchen who stood outside the tent stared at each other for a while, and chatted tacitly about the weather.

Jinxi: "The weather is really nice today."

Mingchen: "Yes."

……

After the disaster, Cao Da and his predecessor, the Minister of the Household Department, had almost rectified the matter.The arrival of the king seems to only stabilize all of this.

Now the disaster victims are no longer resting in the camp set up when Wang Gang arrived.They have each built their own small house.

The small house is a bit rudimentary, that is, the walls are built with stone bricks, and then the roof is sealed with wooden boards.

Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng were walking on the path in the field, and saw many houses like this.It's crude, but it's better than being crowded with a lot of people.

In the field, countless people bend down to plant mulberry seedlings.

With smiles on their faces, they seem to have walked out of the disaster.

Si Wang stood not far away, smiling and talking to the people transplanting rice seedlings.

His appearance is gentle and kind, like a bodhisattva who saves suffering.

"It's fake at first glance." Cheng Muqing couldn't help but said, "Look at him, there is no mud or dust all over his body. His jade crown is still standing upright."

As soon as he met Si Wang, Cheng Muqing couldn't stop himself from wanting to complain.

She also knew that it was not good to speak ill of people behind their backs.But she, in front of her, said these words as she should.

She hates Si Wang, Lin Heng knows it.

So, he followed in a low voice.

But it turns out that you can't speak ill of people behind their backs.

Before the two of them finished speaking, they noticed that Wang Ruo glanced at the two of them.

Cheng Muqing was not afraid of meeting by chance, even if he and Lin Heng were dressed in such rags, he would inevitably be ridiculed when he saw them.

"Ah Heng, don't look!" Cheng Muqing waved his long arms and directly hugged him into his arms.

Lin Heng fell into her arms unexpectedly, and subconsciously held her slender waist with both hands.

But because he is tall, his legs are half bent, and his posture is very strange.Just like the moment before he fainted, he grabbed Cheng Muqing's clothes, and then fell to his knees weakly on the ground...

"Ouch." Cheng Muqing also realized that she was a little overreacted, and she quickly supported Lin Heng, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Lin Heng got up silently and smiled at her.

"Oh... I am just too reckless."

"You are already much better." Lin Heng said softly, "Be a little more cautious every day, and everything will gradually get better."

Cheng Muqing didn't expect him to say such comforting words, if there was no one, she would probably jump up and kiss him.

"Are you all right, boy?"

Cheng Muqing was still silent in his fantasy, when he heard someone talking at the side, he quickly reacted and turned to look.

I saw that the person who came was an old woman.

The old woman seemed to be over sixty years old, and her face was covered with uneven wrinkles.There was a hint of worry in her cloudy eyes, "I just saw my little brother fell down..."

"It's okay." Lin Heng replied silently.

"It's also a poor child..." The old woman sighed heavily, bent down and patted the dust on his knees, "This skinny... Poor..."

"No..." Lin Heng didn't like her touching him, so he stepped back and shrank away from Cheng Muqing.

The old woman was not embarrassed, but hunched over, "Are you here looking for His Royal Highness to beg for land?"

"Mmmmmm." Cheng Muqing nodded, "His Royal Highness, do you really give it?"

"Of course it's true." The old woman smiled, "He will give according to the population... See if you are husband and wife? Husband and wife can get two acres of land. After making a profit next year, His Royal Highness will also distribute the money to you..."

"But now we are all planting mulberry seedlings, what about the food?" Cheng Muqing asked, "Will His Royal Highness always provide it?"

"It seems His Royal Highness has already said about this matter, we don't need to worry about it... After all, we are indispensable." The old woman laughed again, "It seems that His Royal Highness is a good person, as you have seen, the dam has been built , These houses were planned by him together... Now he is farming the land... How wonderful. We only need to guard this one-third of an acre of land, and live our next life in peace. To be honest, since Dilong turned around, My old lady feels that she is lucky if she spends her life peacefully and peacefully."

Cheng Muqing just smiled.

"Have you eaten yet?" The old woman turned her eyes to Lin Heng again, "The porridge shop is still open, brother, if you are hungry, go for a drink. His Royal Highness's guards are also good people, they saw you If you are so thin, I will definitely give you more..."

She stared at Lin Heng for a long time, then sighed again.

Cheng Muqing didn't understand what was going on, she stood silently for a moment, and then listened to——

"My grandson grew up on your side..." Thinking of the sad things, the old woman cried with tears in her eyes.

"You?" Lin Heng was taken aback.

"Mother-in-law, are you alright?"

"Grandson! Grandson! It's my old woman who hurt you!" The old woman seemed to have been stimulated by something, and her hands firmly grasped Lin Heng's forearm.

Her eyes were wide open, and her hand grasping his forearm was very hard,

"Grandson! I'm sorry!" The old woman put her head on him, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother-in-law?" Cheng Muqing stretched out his hand to pull her up, but found that the old woman's hand was extraordinarily strong.She was afraid that if she tried too hard, it would hurt her.

Just as she was trying to find a way, a middle-aged man and woman came up.

The middle-aged men and women supported the old woman and broke her hands away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the old man was a little bit stimulated after the disaster." The middle-aged man apologized to the two, "When Dilong turned over, the child protected the old man with his body. So the old man always felt that he had killed his grandson... "

His face is full of vicissitudes, and his chin is even more thick with a thick beard.

Losing a child is a scar for every parent.

Mentioning this, the middle-aged woman on the side also started to twitch.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, patted his wife on the shoulder, and left with her and the old man.

There was a moment of silence all around.

Cheng Muqing looked at Lin Heng, and found that he was also looking at herself.

"Heng."

"Ah."

"You are treated like a grandson." Cheng Muqing smiled, but the smile was fleeting and turned into sadness, "Everything is said to be fine...but the pain of losing a family member will never get better."

When she raised her eyes again to look at the hardworking people in the fields, she suddenly felt that they were all holding on to their smiles.

Those smiles are not low.

Even though life is improving, everything is thriving.But it is still an unspeakable sadness to lose the loved ones to share with.

Probably with time, this sadness will ease.But every time I think about it, I still feel some pain.

"Don't look." Lin Heng took her hand and led her away.

"Oh." Cheng Muqing followed him, letting him hold his hand tightly, and letting him take him to the ends of the earth.

"Ah Qing, you told me that no one can't do without someone." Lin Heng said, "They will come out full and have a happier future."

"Yeah." Cheng Muqing responded, "Don't worry, I'm fine... I just suddenly remembered something from the past."

Lin Heng paused, and he turned to look at her.

"what?"

"Actually, I have witnessed many deaths." Cheng Muqing said, "When I was young, I saw my big dog die. When I grew up, I saw my comrades die in front of me... In Qiguo, I also saw... I The death of a friend."

"Your...friend?" Lin Heng asked hesitantly.

"Well... she is a little concubine. I met you when I was looking for you in the Leng Palace." Cheng Muqing lowered his eyes, "She is very beautiful, but Emperor Qiguo is a beast... always paint her make-up, let her wear tulle in the winter, and didn’t give her food. I felt sorry for her at first, so I often hid some food for her..."

"She was a taciturn person, and she didn't say anything to me at first. Even if I got close to her, she would be offended. But she is a very patient listener, and she will listen to what I said in the palace. What a terrible thing. I have always regarded her as a confidant, and she probably regards me as the only person in the cold palace who can keep her from being lonely?"

"Until one time, she was wearing thin clothes again, and was sent back to the cold palace by the eunuch from Emperor Qi. She was sick, I guess it was frozen... I took care of her in the cold palace for a night. She was quite shy. Girl, don't let me touch it."

"I just wanted to touch her head to see if it was hot, but she threw it away." Cheng Muqing said, the corners of his lips curled, "Although she is stubborn, she knows that I mean it well. Since then After that, she stopped being cold-faced towards me...but although she wasn't cold-faced, she was still a little awkward. I could tell that she liked me going to her place. But she was too embarrassed to show it."

"She is very kind to me... She doesn't say anything, but she often brings me fruits and clothes she brought from Emperor Qiguo...Even though Emperor Qiguo treated her badly, he didn't intend to let her give birth to her own child." Self-destruction. Sometimes, I will show kindness and reward something. I remember that the most rewarded is rouge and gouache..."

"I thought at the time, when everything settles down, I must take her back to Marquis Wu'an's Mansion. Then...find her a good husband and let her live the life that a normal person should have. But..." As he spoke, Her eyes were dim, "She died in that winter. Natural disasters and man-made disasters arose in Qiguo, and a plague broke out in the imperial city, and she also died in that plague."

The warm sun shone on her body, but she felt cold in her hands and feet.

"I have always regarded her as my only consolation in Qiguo. I never thought she would die like that..." Cheng Muqing sighed, "I was very sad at the time, so I never stepped into the cold palace again."

"You..." Lin Heng said hesitantly, "Did you see her dead body?"

"No." Cheng Muqing smiled, but she didn't dare to look.

"Then how do you know it's her?"

"In the cold palace, there are three concubines. The one I know is the same age as the dead concubine... both are fourteen." Cheng Muqing said, "Besides, I also took a look from afar. The concubine was carried out to be buried. I looked, and the figure is indeed her."

Lin Heng pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Everything seemed absurd to him.

He always guessed that she didn't come to him because she was too busy and forgot about him, or she was restricted to enter the cold palace.Unexpectedly, it was because he regarded himself as the concubine of the dog emperor and thought he was dead?

Heh~ What a surprise.

Where does he look like a woman?

It's just... a little thinner...

"Heng?" Seeing his complex expression, Cheng Muqing couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"No." Lin Heng pulled the corners of his lips and smiled at her, "It's nothing..."

Thinking of how he was tortured by Emperor Qiguo back then, he felt that he should make mistakes.

She didn't like her appearance in the first place, if she knew that she was once emaciated, slaughtered, and like a woman, she would definitely mind, right?

"Speaking of which, where are you in the cold palace? I searched around several times, but I haven't seen you yet." Cheng Muqing changed his sad expression and looked at him with a smile.

"I..." Lin Heng hesitated a little, he pursed his lips, his voice was a little rough, "I'm locked up, you can't find me."

"Hmm..." Cheng Muqing nodded thoughtfully, "Emperor Qi's hiding is deep enough... I went in and out of the cold palace several times, but I didn't find you."

At that time, Qi Kingdom was already on the verge of decline, people in the imperial city were panicked, and the palace rules were not as strict as they were at the beginning.

……

Due to the torrential rain in the past few days, the ground on the field path was very wet and muddy.

The two walked for a while, came to a stone pier, and did it for a while.

There are other disaster victims sitting here. They have just planted mulberry seedlings and are resting.

The sun was hot, and several women gathered under the tree to enjoy the shade.

Cheng Muqing heard them discussing that crazy old woman, and also heard them talking about how handsome and unrestrained Wang looked.
