Although the idea is there, the method cannot be thought of in a short while, and the most important thing is to find a suitable time.
Just when Ling Ruo was thinking about Shu Mulu, Mrs. Liu also came to Shuiyixuan and said to Shu Mulu, who was half lying on the bed: "I am very happy to know that my wife is pregnant, so I specially brought some suitable for pregnant women.
Give the tonic to the lady."
"Thank you, Madam." Before Mrs. Shumulu could stand up, Madam Liu had already stopped her and said, "There's no need to be polite, Madam, just lie down."
After signaling Haitang to hand over the things to the servants of Shui Yixuan, Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "I originally thought that the lady must go to Yong'an Temple this time, but I didn't expect that the lady would be pregnant at this time. The crisis was resolved, which can be regarded as a blessing.
What a blessing among misfortunes. If not for this, I would not be able to sit and chat with my wife now.
Mrs. Shumulu looked down at her belly under the brocade quilt and said softly: "Yes, it is a coincidence that this child came, but I am afraid that I have no fate with this child."
Ms. Liu consoled her: "Why are you saying this for no reason? Who can predict what will happen in the future. The most important thing right now is to take good care of yourself."
"By the way, how is your brother? Has he ever turned a corner?" Shu Mulu's words immediately made Liu's face darken. She stroked the golden thread on her sleeve and said coldly: "Shuntian Prefecture Yin has sentenced
I have committed the death penalty for my brother, and I will only wait for the execution in the autumn!"
Shu Mulu exclaimed and said, "Does Shuntian Fu Yin really have no respect for the empress?"
"Concubine Xi threatened to expose the matter to heaven if he did not sentence my brother to death. Do you think Shuntian Prefecture Yin dared not to listen to her?" At this point, Mrs. Liu said bitterly: "No matter it is you.
Ma's matter and my brother's matter are all good things done by Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin. I will never let them go as long as I live."
Mr. Shumulu's face darkened and he said, "It's a pity that I can't help you."
"That's not necessarily the case. The emperor also said that you are not allowed to stay in the palace after giving birth to the child. Maybe the emperor will consider the child's kindness and absolve you of your sin. I will also help you find a way in this matter.
"
Mrs. Liu's words made Mrs. Shumulu's face full of gratitude, "If I can really save my concubine from leaving the palace, I will be my reborn parent. I will never forget your kindness as long as I live."
"Things of kindness are secondary. The most important thing is that you must not forget who caused you and me to lose our loved ones."
Shumulu bit her silver teeth lightly and said: "Don't worry, my concubine, I will never forget this in my life. Even if I risk my life, I will still pay with my blood."
"As long as you understand." After saying a few more words, Ms. Liu stood up and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. You just have a good rest. I'll come see you another day."
On the way back to Yongshou Palace, Jingu whispered: "Does the master really intend to find an opportunity to speak kindly for the Shumulu family in front of the emperor?"
Ms. Liu glanced at her and said, "Why, you feel bad?"
"I don't dare. This slave is just the master and there is no need to worry about the Shumulu family. She is inferior to others now, so the master pretends to be pitiful and sympathetic. If she is really allowed to stay or even be reset, she will become a hidden danger to the master.
It's better to give her another push now when she's on the verge of collapse."
Mrs. Liu supported the pearl flowers on her temples and said: "What you said makes some sense, but the first person I have to deal with now is not her, but the one from Cheng Qiangong. But to deal with her, it is too much for me to deal with her alone."
It's hard work, you must find it
As a helper, Shu Mulu is undoubtedly the most suitable. Besides, she has the same thoughts as me now, and even hates me more than me. Therefore, before the one from Chengqian Palace falls, you don’t need to worry about her falling.
Facing each other."
Jin Gu thought about it, so Zhu didn't say anything more and just helped Liu to move forward.
As for Yinzhen, after returning to the Hall of Yangxin, he discussed with the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs until very late, and finally decided to raise grain from Guangdong and Guangxi and transport it to Fuzhou as quickly as possible to avoid unstable public sentiment. In addition, with Fuzhou
Several nearby prefectures and counties also tried their best to allocate part of their grain to Fuzhou.
The Ministry of Household Affairs sent a message to Guangdong and Guangxi overnight, informing the governors and governors of Guangdong and Guangxi of Yinzhen's decree. They did not dare to delay. They raised 250,000 dan of grain from the government warehouse, county warehouse and the charity warehouse funded by large households, and immediately shipped it to them.
The grain transport ship was prepared and sailed to Fuzhou without stopping.
However, no one could have imagined that just as they were approaching Fuzhou, these ships suffered the same fate as last time. They hit the rocks and sank, and no one was spared.
When the news reached the capital, it was a heavy blow to both Yinzhen and Hubu. It had been more than a month since the last shipwreck. Although grain had been transported by land, the arrival of the nearby provinces
The county's grain reserves are not much, so land transportation is needed
Limited, for the whole of Fuzhou, it is just a drop in the bucket. It is often sold out as soon as it arrives. Under such circumstances, the price of rice in Fuzhou continues to rise. Later, it was as high as one tael of silver per bucket of rice, and one pound of rice.
A liter of rice costs ten taels of silver.
Such rice prices are even tight for the wealthy households, let alone ordinary people. They can't make so much money by selling rice, so they can only go hungry and dig things in the fields to eat. At first, they can even dig sweet potatoes.
For things like peanuts, even the roots of the sweet potatoes were eaten up later.
After even eating like a dog became a luxury, the situation began to get out of control. Some hungry and thin people began to pick up kitchen knives and hoes to stop and rob grain trucks. Although the Fuzhou government tried its best to control,
However, the situation is still getting worse step by step.
As a result of the robbery of the grain truck, the price of rice rose to a frightening level again, worth five taels of silver per bucket. This price prompted more people to take the road of robbing grain trucks, and in the midst of blood and death, they robbed
Food to keep them alive.
Because they couldn't get food, more people began to rob the rich households' food and... people ate people. For a while, Fuzhou turned into a hell on earth. Although the rich households did not have to worry about food for the time being, they could not live in it.
, asked someone to escort them out of Fuzhou.
Even though they paid a lot of money to hire people to escort them along the way, there were still people who robbed them along the way. Those who were more lucky escaped from Fuzhou, while those who were less lucky returned to the underworld.
But only the well-to-do wealthy households are able to leave. Thousands of people are trapped in Fuzhou, unable to leave, struggling in this hell-like land.
Urgent reports from Fuzhou Prefecture were sent to the capital one after another. The prefect of Fuzhou said that he was trapped in the government office and could not get out. Now the government office relies on the remaining grain in the granary to support it, but it cannot last long.
It's ridiculous that even when there is no famine, Fuzhou has become the most serious famine place, with tragedies happening every moment.
