It was such a cold day, but the woman was only wearing a patched singlet.
"Mother...mother——" A sound like a cat meowing came from the street.
Wei Zi followed the sound and saw that it was a child, wrapped in a large coat with leaky cotton wool.
She suddenly understood the reason why the woman wore single clothes.
Wei Zi wanted to get off his horse and buy some food for the woman, but was stopped by a big hand.
"Feng Qing will handle it, you don't have to pay attention." Sensing her cold hands, Feng Danyuan couldn't help but frowned: "Come here."
With one effort, Wei Zi was brought to his horse and put directly into his arms.
Opening the cloak, he stuffed her whole body inside.
Suddenly, Wei Zi felt like she was wrapped in warmth. She couldn't help but put her hands around his waist and put her face against his chest to keep warm: "Why are there so many beggars in the imperial capital? Is it because of the plague?"
"Well, at this time in previous years, everyone in the palace and wealthy officials would give food and clothing. Now you can go from house to house without going out. No one does good deeds. The government doesn't allow people to gather, so the streets become crowded.
It’s what you see.”
Feng Danyuan didn't say much, but Wei Zi knew in his heart: It's not even thirty-nine days yet, and if this continues, many people will freeze to death this winter.
There is only one way to make the situation better: end the plague as soon as possible and let everyone's life return to normal.
Sighing silently in his heart, Wei Zi buried her head in Feng Danyuan's arms, thinking about her next plan.

Like other high-profile households in the imperial capital, the door of Prince Yan's Mansion is tightly closed.
Wei Zi looked at the painted red door and felt as if she was in another world.
I still remember the first time she entered Prince Yan's Mansion, she followed Feng Danyuan to break off the engagement. At that time, she had nothing, so even if she went alone, she could only press forward.
This time, it was a different state of mind.
She came as Feng Danyuan's fiancée and Feng Jiayu's mother.
"Why, are you nervous again?" Feng Danyuan saw Wei Zi standing motionless at the door and chuckled: "Don't be in the mood of 'the ugly daughter-in-law meets the parents-in-law'. You should be happy and shout 'Hello, King Yan' Princess"
Okay, if you don't like it, just pretend you didn't see it, and no one will dare to tell you anything."
Wei Zi sighed: "It would be a lie to say that I am happy to deal with King Yan and Princess Yan. But no matter what, they are also your father and your stepmother. You can at least set an example for Xiaoyu."
Feng Danyuan snorted: "Teach him how to be hypocritical? What kind of role model is this?"
Respecting elders is called hypocrisy? What kind of logic is this?
Wei Zi didn't want to talk anymore, she was tired.
However, maybe Feng Danyuan himself didn't realize it. Every time he came to Prince Yan's Mansion, he looked like a hedgehog with spikes all over his body. How could he look like a cold and aloof commander-in-chief of a country?
He said he didn't care about his family, but how could he really not care?
"How do we get in?" Wei Zi changed the subject.
"Go in." Feng Danyuan thought this was a stupid question.
He glanced at Feng Su, who immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door "bang bang bang".
Wei Zi: "..."
She is really stupid too.
"Who is it?" The servant guarding the door carefully opened a crack. When he saw it was Feng Danyuan, his expression changed. He immediately opened the door and saluted Feng Danyuan respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Wei Zi was stunned and didn't move, Feng Danyuan said: "Can't walk? Then I'll hug you..."
"I'll go by myself!" Wei Zi almost jumped into the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Feng Danyuan's red lips curled up into a loving smile.
The servant guarding the door just happened to raise his head and saw Feng Danyuan's smile. He was so surprised that he felt dazzled.
After being stunned for a long time, he rubbed his eyes and wanted to take a closer look, but Feng Danyuan had already stepped through the door, and he only saw a tall and slender figure.
