Chapter 81
But Shang Chengyuan made a silent gesture to him, glared at him and said: "What kind of place do you think this is, how can you say anything? Silly boy, just like your mother, you can't keep your mouth shut !"

When Shang Kelin was told by him, he quickly covered his mouth, and then stared back unwillingly: "This is the reason why you told me to travel around the world without telling mother?"

Shang Chengyuan chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.

Shang Kelin also felt sorry for his father, so he couldn't help but said to Shang Chengyuan: "Father, the refugees we met a few days ago said that the plague has started to break out in the Sichuan area, and I don't know how many people will die. Let my son go alone tomorrow, and you can just wait for me at the Yuzhou station."

"Guest officer, your bun!"

The waiter smiled and brought buns to the two of them. As if to prove his words, Shang Kelin stopped the waiter, gave him a copper coin, and asked, "Little brother, ask me something. We need to take refuge in Chongqing. I don’t know if there is a plague in Yuzhou? I heard that the plague in Shu is terrible!”

Hearing this, the waiter in the store said with regret: "Isn't it? My good fellow, there was a famine in Shu, and many people died, but the officials didn't deal with it. Once the corpses rotted, the plague spread, and more than 1 people died. people!"

Shang Chengyuan paused while drinking tea, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Shang Kelin was also surprised: "When I came here, I only heard that people died, but I didn't expect that more than 1 people died! What about Yuzhou? Has it been affected?"

The waiter in the shop sighed and said: "Yuzhou doesn't take in refugees, so it hasn't been affected much. I heard that Yuzhou is rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I plan to close this teahouse with my boss in two days and get a pass to go to Yuzhou." .”

After communicating with the waiter, Shang Kelin let him go.

But when he looked at Shang Chengyuan again, his eyes were stained with a layer of deep worry.

Plague, famine, starvation everywhere...

It's no wonder that there are so many people complaining, and there are still people who want to rebel against the banner. This situation is much more serious than what they saw in the court!

Shang Chengyuan lowered his head and drank the tea, then put the steamed stuffed bun into his arms, and said loudly to Shang Kelin, "Son, hurry up!"

Shang Kelin hurriedly swallowed a bun, wiped his hands and helped him to head towards Yuzhou.

Not long after they left, these guards pretending to be refugees got up one after another and left the teahouse.

On the way, Shang Kelin was helping Shang Chengyuan to go on the road, but Shang Chengyuan whispered in his ear, and said calmly: "Go back and report this matter to Your Majesty, please make a decision. The note to His Majesty has been tampered with, otherwise His Majesty would not have sent us the letter!"

Boom!
Shang Kelin's heart sank suddenly, and the panic in his eyes flashed, but he quickly calmed down.

"Father, you go back to the palace, and I'm going to Shu. The disaster money is in the guards' parcels. Believe me, I will solve the disaster in Shu."

Seeing Shang Kelin's stubbornness with him, Shang Chengyuan's calculating eyes showed a touch of contempt for his own son: "Where do you have the confidence to say this in front of this old man?"

Shang Kelin smiled and said, "It's because I'm Zuo Xiang's son."

He laughed just like Shang Kelan, for a moment, the all-powerful Zuo Xiang in the court felt that he might have misjudged his son.

Shang Kelin, perhaps different from Shang Kelan's wisdom and introversion, he knows it, maybe it's because he hides his ingenuity!
The two of them didn't talk anymore, they walked all the way south, but what they didn't notice was that there were more refugees with strange eyes around them...

The capital, the imperial palace.

Wushi, in the guest room of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Holding the gift, Yue'er followed Concubine Hua and entered Zhao Kehan's guest room.

After watching tea for the two empresses, Hongxiu retreated behind Zhao Kehan.

Zhao Kehan ​​smiled slightly at Concubine Hua, and said, "Concubine Hua, you are here to talk to me about family matters, right? I guess you are not so boring."

Zhao Kehan's self-proclaimed "I" to Concubine Hua became "I", with a condescending meaning in his tone, and that familiar gesture almost subconsciously humbled him in front of her.

Concubine Hua knew that Zhao Kehan ​​was the former princess, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she smiled at her in a friendly manner: "Miss Zhao, I'm just here to congratulate you on becoming a noble concubine. This is my congratulatory gift."

Her self-proclaiming has also become "I", and the two talk with each other as equals.

As soon as Concubine Hua finished speaking, Yue'er respectfully presented the gift box in front of Zhao Kehan.

Hongxiu bowed to Concubine Hua on Zhao Kehan's behalf, and took the gift box.

Without even looking at the contents of the gift box, Zhao Kehan ​​took a sip of tea lightly and said, "Tell me, what is your business here? If the Empress Dowager knows that you stay with me for a long time, it will be bad for both of us. "

Concubine Hua clenched her hands, beat the table angrily, and said, "Miss Zhao, to be honest, I came here to join hands with you to deal with that concubine Chen. She relied on His Majesty's favor to act recklessly in the palace." , The last time I put Sister Ning Concubine into the cold palace, this palace is really hard to swallow!"

"Besides, if you are favored by His Majesty, this Concubine Chen will not let you go, she will definitely repeat the old tricks and make you the second Concubine Ning!"

If Zhao Kehan ​​was a coward with a weak mind, I'm afraid he would really be bluffed by Concubine Hua's words.

It's just that she is too familiar with this imperial palace. If she really has no tricks and only relies on the late emperor's favor, how could she have survived until now?
It seems that Concubine Hua really fooled her like a fool.

As soon as her words fell, Zhao Kehan ​​put down the teacup, and said with a faint smile to Concubine Hua: "It turns out that this is the case, and I don't like people standing in my way as stumbling blocks. Listen, let me see if it works."

Although Zhao Kehan's tone was calm, he agreed to cooperate with Concubine Hua so easily.

Concubine Hua was overjoyed at first, then a little suspicious, but after careful observation, she found that Zhao Kehan's eyes were very calm, and it didn't seem like he was pretending to cater to her.

So Concubine Hua approached Zhao Kehan's ear with confidence, and whispered the matter to her.

As for the strategy to deal with Concubine Chen, Concubine Hua conceived another plan after the witchcraft failed last time. Today, she happened to talk to Zhao Kehan, so that Zhao Kehan ​​could act with her.

After all, Zhao Kehan ​​is supported by the Queen Mother, so even if something happens, he will not be afraid.

Dozens of seconds passed, Concubine Hua sat back in her original position, Zhao Kehan's lips slowly curled into a smile: "Okay, just follow Concubine Hua's words."

The matter was easily settled, Concubine Hua was in a good mood, bid farewell to Zhao Kehan ​​with a flowery smile on her face, and helped Yue'er back to her water fiber palace.

What both parties didn't notice was that as soon as Concubine Hua left, a black figure appeared from behind the pillars of the palace. The man stared at Concubine Hua and walked out of the stone arch, then quietly came to Zhao Kehan's back door to eavesdrop...

At this time, Zhao Kehan ​​was in the room.

As soon as Concubine Hua left, Hong Xiu closed the door, then frowned and said, "Princess, Concubine Hua really uses you as a fool? Using a plan full of loopholes to get you to deal with Concubine Chen is not the idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone." Why? Why did you agree to cooperate with her?"
