The concubine is so charming

Chapter 293

Hearing Su Yao's words, Chu Feiyan's body stiffened slightly, he lowered his head to gently hold her cheek, and then touched her sweet lips.

Su Yao squinted his round eyes, and smiled like a thief, as if he was a little fox who stole a chicken.

The two got close for a moment, and couldn't help talking about what happened in Rongcheng today.

"Why did Master Xiang suddenly mobilize the defenders of Liangjiang?"

"Since you want to help the victims, you must do your best. Only in this way can you not leave any excuses, so that those people in the court can't find an excuse to attack, and let Mu Cixiu have no possibility of standing up and making sophistry."

"I've also heard the rumors in the city, is it the Master Xiang who asked people to spread it?"

"Well, you wrote to say that you want to speed up the disaster relief, so I let the famous officials spread the rumors overnight. The people in Rongcheng are not ignorant of their situation. The rumors spread quickly, and the hearts of the people appeared. turmoil."

In the face of natural disasters, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. Anxiety has long been buried in their hearts. Adding a little spark will suddenly detonate.

"Then the conflict yesterday afternoon was also guided by Master Xiang?"

"I just sent some people to say a few provocative words among the common people and the disaster victims." Chu Feiyan looked at Su Yao, and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, "You want to ask what happened just now, right? Didn't I deliberately let Yazi kidnap those two children, and then tortured and killed them, so as to completely break up the Rongcheng people and the disaster victims, and force Mu Cixiu to drive the disaster victims out of the city?"

Su Yao's mind was broken, and she nodded immediately: "Well, I really want to know."

"What would you do if I did it?"

"I said a long time ago that as long as the person I like, even if it is heinous, it is good in my heart. I just want to know what happened, and I don't mind what Xiangye has done." It's okay to say that she is cold-blooded and ruthless It doesn't matter if she doesn't know right from wrong, she just has no way to blame Chu Feiyan.

Chu Feiyan chuckled suddenly, raised his hand to touch the top of her hair, and then stroked it lightly twice: "After receiving your letter, I know you care about these victims, since you care about things , how could I make you feel uncomfortable?"

Back then, relying on the popular support, those common people forced his biological mother to be sent to the burning platform for offering sacrifices to heaven. Those ferocious faces and vicious curses were imprinted in his heart all the time, and he didn't care about the life and death of the common people. , but he cared about Su Yao's feelings.

Su Yao snuggled into his arms and gently rubbed against his chest: "Master Xiang, don't be sad."

"With you here, I won't be sad." Chu Feiyan kissed her forehead gently, and said softly, "After the accident yesterday afternoon, I rushed to the Liangjiang garrison overnight, and brought the Liangjiang garrison just now. When we rushed back to Rongcheng, the victims and the people confronted each other, so we took all the victims out of Rongcheng, and it can only be said that it was too coincidental."

Su Yao raised his hand to caress his brow bone, and then gently touched his eyelashes with his fingertips: "Well, when I fled with my parents, I also met many people along the way, it was my father and mother. You insisted in every possible way to keep me here."

"Your parents treated you very well."

Su Yao nodded, and a haze flashed in his eyes: "Yes, so even if I try my best, I will help them avenge, and my younger brother, he is only young and doesn't understand anything..."

Chu Feiyan gently raised his hand to brush her hair: "Princess Rong is still alive."

Su Yao raised his head in surprise: "He's still alive, doesn't it mean that he has been burned to sacrifice to heaven?"

"I had someone replace her with death row. She was the mastermind behind the murder of your family. I thought maybe you would rather kill her."

Su Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then a warm feeling flashed in his heart: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

"What you want to do, I will naturally do my best to help you achieve it."

News from the victims' side came back to Rongcheng one after another. Sitting in the hall, Mu Cixiu's breath became more and more condensed. In today's battle, he lost completely and terribly. I don't know how much time and effort it will take. It takes energy to make up for what is lost.

"My son, this time we were completely led by the nose by Prime Minister Chu. Back then, he threatened us with the gold medal bestowed by the emperor to open the city gate to accept the victims. Now he is also leading the Liangjiang defenders to pretend to be good people and lead the victims away. Bad things are good things. Let him do it all by himself, but let us Rongcheng bear the bad reputation, it is simply unreasonable."

"Prime Minister Chu has always been unpredictable in his actions. What needs to be done now is to appease the people as soon as possible and stabilize the people's hearts in Rongcheng."

Mu Cixiu raised his head, and the arguing official stopped immediately.

"How are the grain merchants investigating?"

"Reporting to my son, the investigation has made it clear that they have a large amount of food in their hands. If they can get their support, this disaster relief will definitely be completed smoothly."

A coldness flashed in Mu Cixiu's eyes: "I'm afraid it's impossible to get their support, so I can only use some tough methods to force them to take out the food."

Many officials were shocked: "My lord, the prince also ordered the grain merchants to be mobilized before, but their power is complicated and they are closely related to the Cao Gang in charge of water transportation. Rongcheng's business routes mostly rely on waterways. They, I am afraid, will be even more unfavorable to us."

"That's not right. Is it possible that our majestic Rongcheng is still afraid of a small Cao Gang?"

"It's not a matter of being afraid or not. With the prince sitting in town, he naturally has no fear of the Cao Gang, but what about the merchants who come and go? The Cao Gang controls the waterways. If they suffer a big loss this time, they will inevitably not play tricks on the waterways in the future. Intercepting merchants will be very detrimental to the development of Rongcheng, can we still send people to keep an eye on the waterway to prevent them from doing evil things?"

Many people fell silent, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it. If the Cao Gang thinks about it, it is really a tricky thing.

Mu Cixiu said: "The power of two evils is the lesser. Offending the Cao Gang and saving the people of Rongcheng, naturally the former can only be done. Send people to investigate the specific situation of the grain merchants. For those who are malicious and deliberately drive up grain prices, Record them one by one, and this time, let’s take them first.”

"Yes."

When the officials withdrew, Mu Cixiu felt bored and wandered aimlessly in the palace, and unknowingly came to the gate of Yushengju.

Hundreds of flowers are still in full bloom in the courtyard, and colorful butterflies fly up and down, bypassing the swing flower stand entwined with wisteria flowers, and gradually disappearing in the flower wall.

Mu Cixiu gently lowered his eyes, and took out a translucent glass bottle from his sleeve. Inside the glass bottle were two red pills the size of mung beans lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle. Back into the sleeves.
