daughter in power

Chapter 243
Bing'er goes to the porridge every day, and the news she brings back is the freshest.

The weather is getting colder.

If there is no cotton-padded clothes for the winter, tens of thousands of refugees will freeze to death.

The imperial court had no way to provide cotton-padded clothes for so many people, so it could only send imperial physicians to station outside the city to treat the refugees for free.

But there are few imperial physicians after all.

The role that can be played is also a drop in the bucket.

Bing'er told all this to Qiqi, with a hint of worry in his words, but he was young after all, so he couldn't tell why.

"Queen, if you don't heal them, no matter how much porridge you drink, it's useless."

Yan Ruizhu nodded frequently from the side, also looking worried.

The relationship between these two children was not close in the past, but they have been giving porridge to save people in the past few days, and it can be seen that Yan Ruizhu's sense of Bing'er has soared.

Qi Qi smiled: "Actually, the effect of treatment is not as good as the effect of prevention. It is of course the best if we can provide these people with preventive measures to prevent them from getting sick."

"How to avoid it?" The two children asked together.

Qiqi thought for a while, then said lightly, "Let me try it."

She was the Queen after all, and she was always in power when she wanted to.

Seeing her leaving Yangxi Palace, Jiang Qiqi's Gong'e flew to Yufeng Pavilion to report.

She smiled coldly, and ordered: "Go, pull that unruly maid over here, and punish her with twenty sticks."

She raised her eyes to look at Gong'e's back: "Hit hard!"

Bing'er and Yan Ruizhu were right behind her, and they didn't feel any difference when they heard her words.

It's just that there was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the maids who followed behind.

Qi Qi has never been a cold-blooded person, she is peaceful most of the time, as if she has witnessed too many ups and downs, and seen all the glitz and glamour.

It was the first time to show such disdain and coldness.

Someone went to drag the maid, she didn't take a second look, and hurried out of the palace.

The scenery beside the road remains the same, as if she walked here for the first time many years ago.

She didn't have time to look at the scenery, and she didn't know how long she walked before she arrived at the palace gate.

Seeing her, the Imperial Army was extremely respectful, and she said, "Go pass some imperial physicians, imperial physicians, female physicians, and... He Xiaowen."

The Yulin Army blinked and hurriedly bowed: "Here."

But she didn't wait for the imperial doctors, and led Bing'er to go first.

Unfortunately, when he left the palace, he happened to meet Jiang Maoyou entering the palace.

The two carriages met head-on, Jiang Maoyou got out of the carriage and bowed to see him off.

But that demeanor was full of contempt, and there was no trace of respect at all.

It's ridiculous to think about it, the family members who were in love with each other at the beginning have become such enemies now.

Listening to all kinds of things in Fengge, it is ridiculous and sad when I think about it now.

She kept silent with a cold face, just looking at Jiang Maoyou through the curtain.

She is the queen, so she doesn't have to get out of the car, but Jiang Maoyou's respect for her is almost exhausted.

Jiang Qiqi competed with her for favor, and Jiang's family was afraid that she would die early.At that time, the deep love between father and daughter, mother and daughter, and even brother and sister had become a cloud of smoke.

She lowered her eyes and tapped on the door panel. The coachman drove the carriage at a fast speed, leaving Jiang Maoyou and the others behind.

After traveling like this for less than half an hour, they arrived at the gate of the city.

The gates of the city are closed, and there are many soldiers in the city, ready to stop the refugees from breaking through the gates at any time.

Under such a posture of being prepared, the scenery in Liuhuo City is still a little bustling.

Tea sellers, meat sellers, steamed stuffed bun sellers, hawkers are lively, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

There were not a small number of people watching the excitement, they were all sipping tea at the tea stand, talking about the war on the border, and the refugees outside the city.

It seems that they are not worried at all that the war will affect them, and they are not worried that the refugees will disturb the city.

Qiqi got out of the carriage and walked up the city wall, and some soldiers quickly came to greet her.

She didn't speak, and walked to the top of the city.

Standing in front of the city wall, there are tens of thousands of refugees.

These people have no clothes, no food to eat, and they are enduring the ravages of the severe winter.

Even on a cold winter's day, she could still smell their stench.

The water in the moat is still flowing slowly, but the water is too cold and the river is too deep.

There was no way for them to jump in and take a shower, nor could they fetch water to drink.

The flower-like porridge shed in the refugee center is all they have.

All water and all food.

Some people are dissatisfied with the status quo and secretly pick wild vegetables and hunt animals nearby.

However, Floating Fire City was built in a plain, where did the many wild vegetables come from, and where did the many prey come from?
On the contrary, farmers living outside the city have already suffered serious losses.

Bing'er said: "My queen, my son opened a porridge shed there."

She looked at it from a distance, the porridge shed was ocher yellow, the newest and cleanest, even the refugees outside the porridge shed seemed to be cleaner than those elsewhere.

She nodded. "Let's start there."

Under the city wall, He Xiaowen hurried up and bowed his head respectfully: "The empress made an atonement, and my minister was a step late."

He was panting and sweating profusely as he ran, and the few imperial physicians hadn't kept up.

Qi Qi glanced at him: "No problem, let's go."

The soldiers opened the city gate respectfully for her, and the soldiers followed quickly, escorting her out of the city gate and walking towards the porridge shed.

The refugees who wanted to rush up, seeing such a big battle, immediately shrank back and did not dare to go forward.

A smart refugee suddenly saw Qiqi, and suddenly said loudly: "Queen, that's Empress..."

Immediately, someone echoed in surprise: "Yes...the empress empress has come to see us..."

The excitement of the crowd was unparalleled, and they all blushed and loudly delivered the news.

It seems that when the queen arrives, their hard life will come to an end.

It is necessary to completely get rid of the stench, eating porridge every day, and suffering from hunger and cold.

Qi Qi didn't respond, but continued to walk forward with a smile.

The refugees dispersed automatically, making way for her.

It was as if a huge dark carpet had been torn apart among the huge crowd of refugees.

After the yelling of the refugees, there was subservience and silence.

The four fields were silent.

She still didn't respond much, and walked into the porridge shed set up by Bing'er.

Bing'er and Yan Ruizhu walked over very naturally and began to serve porridge for the refugees.

Qiqi stood behind the two of them, and said calmly: "Build another work shed. This Palace will treat everyone's illnesses."

There are also imperial physicians in these dozens of congee sheds, but after all, there are too many monks and too few congee.

At this moment, she is willing to open a shed to save people, which is naturally a good thing.

When the refugees outside the shed heard the news, they rejoiced and rushed to tell each other.

Qiqi turned to look at He Xiaowen: "Start with the children."

Yi decreed that there were quite a few babies who came for treatment.

Seeing this, the imperial physician who came after him didn't know what to do for a moment.

She said: "Let's find a pediatrician again, and send the medicinal materials."

Xia Xi has changed her mind now, but she thought that ordering some medicinal materials and dispatching a few imperial physicians would probably not hinder him.

Sure enough, the imperial physician went directly to the imperial medical office to get the medicinal materials, and was not stopped by anyone.

Moreover, Xia Xi seems to have known her whereabouts.

By the time of You, as many as a hundred babies had been treated, and the herbal medicines prescribed were worth thousands of gold.

Of course, there are many babies among the refugees, and it may take time to get them all treated.

He Xiaowen's medical skills are undeniable, and the refugees greatly appreciated them, and they are very grateful.

Seeing this, Qiqi was extremely pleased.

It was getting dark, and He Xiaowen was tired all day, so Qiqi closed the medical shed and led everyone back to the city.

For the first time, the refugees did not come to stop them.

Not only that, but many people spontaneously knelt beside the road to give way.

They were silent, but wept silently.

Qiqi's life experience is actually well known throughout the world.

She was despised by these refugees.

But now, everyone had no choice but to kneel in front of her.

At this moment of kneeling, it is obvious that all prejudices have been discarded.

She is now their queen, their savior.

But she was unable to treat these many people.

She stood coldly in front of the carriage, watching the sea of ​​people kneeling on the ground, but silently lowered her eyes.

She wanted to leave, but the refugees refused.

The crying intensified.

They didn't struggle, they didn't argue, they didn't fight, they didn't attack anyone as usual.

But their cries are more likely to retain people's hearts than violence.

Qiqi's face darkened, and she said calmly: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, I will think of a way first."

The crowd raised their heads with a "wow" and looked at her in disbelief.

It will take more than a month for 3 people to come here, but Xia Xi has never seen them.

Courtiers never visited them either.

Now, the queen opened a medical shed to treat them for free, and even promised to find a way for them because of their cries.

It has been said since ancient times that officials are parents, but the common people have never felt that they are parents.

About, and only at this moment, they had such an idea.

"Empress Empress..." Someone couldn't hold back and began to cry softly.

More and more people wailed loudly.

In everyone's mouth is the vague "Empress Empress..."

It's not real enough, but the feelings are sincere.

Qiqi let out a breath, ignored the crowd, boarded the car and left.

After entering the city gate, the imperial physicians went back to their homes and rested.

Even He Xiaowen was sent away by her.

After a day of exhaustion, everyone saw how generous and useful she was, so they retired respectfully.

Back to the palace, only Bing'er, Yan Ruizhu and her were left.

The gate of the palace was stopped by someone.

An unfamiliar Gong'e said loudly: "It's past the lock-up time, empress, let's enter the palace tomorrow."

There is indeed a rule in the palace that the door is closed at Xushi and locked at Haishi.

But rules are dead, people are alive.

What's more, she is the queen, and what's more, she came out of the palace to save people.

Gong'e of Yangxi Palace stood there, almost trembling with anger: "Where did you come from, you lowly servant girl, hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the empress back to the palace!"

Across the curtain of the car, Qiqi's face was also ashen.

The Imperial Army was about to open the city gate, but the palace maid shouted: "Who dares to open the door! Isn't the Queen going out of the palace to save people? She has a deep mind and careful planning. Could it be that the lock in the palace is not accurate? To save people To save face, I'm afraid I won't be able to return home!"

Every sentence punishes the heart, but every sentence smells of jealousy.

Bing'er suddenly raised the curtain of the car, jumped down in one step, pointed at Gong'e on the wall, and scolded: "Go away, you dare to block the way of the prince, you don't want to live!"

Although only 11 years old, he is already extraordinary.

Gong'e was shocked, she covered her mouth and was dumbfounded.

"Slave..." She faltered and couldn't speak anymore, as if she never expected that the prince and Miss Ruizhu would be accompanying Qi Qi.

Qiqi didn't say a word, but a smile hung on the corner of her lips.

The Yulin Army no longer dared to pretend to be confused, and quickly opened the city gate.

But was kicked on the leg by Bing'er.

The Imperial Forest Army was not stupid either, he immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed, not daring to call out.

Bing'er was still angry, so she was about to go to the city gate to arrest people.

Qiqi said: "Let the palace servants go. Break the legs of that lowly maidservant, and make her a slave in the violent room."

"Here." Gong'e agreed, hurried up the tower, grabbed the lapel of that Gong'e's clothes, and slapped the young Gong'e more than a dozen times, until the young Gong'e fell to her knees with stars in her eyes.

Blood and tears flowed down, Gong'e said with blood in her mouth, trembling with fear: "The empress is happy and angry, the empress is happy and angry... I don't dare anymore..."

Kowtow like pounding garlic, for fear that I would really break my legs.

Qiqi's face was indifferent, she raised the curtain of the car to look over, and said in a low voice: "Wei Dao chose a maidservant who was unfamiliar, so she came here specially to send her to death. It's just to make things difficult for the palace, why waste her life?"

She threw the car curtain, and said quietly: "I have changed my mind, there is no need to send her to the violence room. Just break her legs and throw her to the Bailu Garden to feed the birds."

The Bailu Garden has never raised birds, but has always kept Xia Xi's vultures.

Those vultures were originally headed by Ling'er, but later Ling'er strayed into evil ways and disappeared.

Today's vultures are carrion-eating, unthinking fowls.

The carriage passed through the city gate and went straight to Yangxi Palace.

The maid on the city wall was already paralyzed with fright.

Live people feeding vultures, this scene also happened in the plum garden when the Nine Yin Saints ascended to heaven.

Gong'e screamed: "No... Empress Empress..."

It's still audible even though it's far away.

Xia Xi found out on the second day that she was sitting outside the city and treating refugees.

He also heard about Qiqi's confrontation with the people of Yufengge Palace at the gate of the city.

As soon as the court came up, some ministers tried their best to impeach him.

Among them, Jiang's father and son are the most.
