Chapter 66: Drought
No matter how much I hate it in my heart. There was a gentle smile on his face.
Su Tang clasped his fists.
"Second sister, long time no see."
Su Yao also clasped her fists.
"Sister."
Su Lan looked at the two sisters and smiled with satisfaction.
"Yao Yao, we are all done."
"Well, it's all handed over."
Lidya Su's eyes flashed, she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke lightly.
"Well, your sister wants to go to the military camp for training. You can make arrangements accordingly."
A flash of sarcasm flashed in Su Yao's eyes.
This natural tone makes people feel really uncomfortable.
However, as a child, how could she refuse.
"Well, no problem, I'll arrange it in a few days."
"It's just that sister is preparing for the imperial examination now, so how can she have time to go to the military camp?"
"I'm almost ready for the imperial examination. I want to go to the military camp and exercise, so I'll bother my second sister."
"Sister, you're welcome."
After a while of greetings, Su Yao returned to Yao Meng Garden.
At this moment, Shangguan Yuxue was pacing back and forth in the Seventh Princess' Mansion impatiently.
It has been almost ten days since the Second Emperor's Sister's incident, and there is still no clue.
Who is it, hidden so deeply?
If this person is not removed, she will feel uneasy.
[System, what’s going on? I always have a feeling that things are getting out of control. 】
[Host, the data shows everything is normal. 】
Shangguan Yuxue frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but had no clue.
Half a month passed like this, and in the end, the person behind the scenes was still not found.
Emperor Ying Tian was furious, but before she could have anyone investigate further, drought suddenly occurred in various places.
There has been no rainfall in Beijing for more than a month.
It's time for a good harvest soon, but now that the drought has lasted so long, all the crops have shriveled up and there is no harvest.
The people were panicked and began to buy large quantities of grain. Grain merchants began to seize this opportunity and began to increase prices significantly.
Therefore, many people could not afford food, and they were panicked for a while.
Prince Su's Mansion.
Su Yao put down the brush in her hand, and Xiaolian handed over the wet handkerchief respectfully. She took it and wiped her hands slowly.
"You mean there are already a large number of refugees outside the city?"
"Yes, I heard that Qin Tianjian closed the sky at night and there has been no rain in the past two months. This drought is very serious."
Su Yao put down the wet handkerchief in her hand and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Xiaoxue's birthday is coming soon, and I have to prepare a good gift."
There was also a severe drought in the last life. At that time, he was still fighting on the battlefield. She couldn't remember the specific time. She didn't expect it to appear so soon.
However, it was not just a severe drought, because it didn’t take long for an epidemic to appear.
She worked hard to come up with a prescription to control the epidemic, and it turned out to be Shangguan Yuxue's wedding dress.
This is also the key to her being able to successfully sit in that position.
When Xiaolian saw the woman's expression now, she felt a chill run through her body. This woman was going to do something extremely harmful again.
Su Yao is in a happy mood and is ready to go to the little puppet.
She turned around and walked towards the red fox. She didn't expect that after two years of absence, this little guy had been taken care of so well. He should have become a fat ball.
Su Yao looked at it condescendingly and stretched out her arms.
"Come up."
Upon hearing this, the little fox hurriedly jumped on Su Yao's arm, went all the way up, and lay on her shoulder.
Su Yao narrowed her eyes, touched its fur, turned around and left Yao Meng Garden.
Outside the bamboo forest, she felt the soft touch under her hands. The fiery red fox fur looked really nice. If they were made into a cloak, the little puppet would definitely look good on it.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
When she walked to the hot spring, she saw the scene in front of her. The smile on her lips disappeared immediately, her face was cold, and there was a faint hint of madness in her eyes.
Next to the hot spring, two women.
To be precise, it was a woman, and a man disguised as a woman.
The woman wears a sky blue narrow-sleeved, cross-collared tunic.
She took a deep breath and gathered her courage.
"master."
Shangguan Yuli turned around, looked at the woman, frowned slightly, and subconsciously took a step back.
"What's the matter?"
The woman clenched her fists and continued.
"Master, the sky is clear and I am happy with you."
Shangguan Yuli's eyes instantly turned cold.
"It's sunny, I won't be lenient next time"
Leaving these cold words behind, he turned around and left.
The woman was anxious, gritted her teeth, rushed towards the man, and wanted to hug the man's waist.
"Master, just accept Tianqing. Tianqing really likes you."
Shangguan Yuli dodged almost instantly, but was still touched, and a feeling of nausea came from his stomach.
In the past, because of his outstanding appearance, both women and men had disgusted thoughts towards him.
Therefore, he hated contact with others. The reason why he allowed Su Yao to touch him was because his life was in the hands of the other party.
But the most important thing is because Su Yao is the only one who doesn't feel nauseated when in contact. Maybe it's because she always has a faint herbal smell on her body.
That smell was different from other herbal smells, and it always made him feel comfortable.
Shangguan Yuli drew out the ice-blue sword from his waist and pointed at the woman, his eyes cold.
"As soon as you take a step closer, don't take your hand."
Tianqing looked at Shangguan Yuli in disbelief and said in a trembling voice:
"You...point the sword in your hand at me."
"Is there a problem?"
Before Shangguan Yuli could speak, a cold female voice came.
There was anger in the words.
Su Yao walked up slowly. This time, there was no smile in her eyes when she looked at Shangguan Yuli. Instead, there was a hint of disgust.
When Shangguan Yuli noticed the disgust in the woman's eyes, his heart was suddenly clenched for some reason, and he pursed his lips.
Tian Qing frowned when he saw Su Yao.
Then he turned to Shangguan Yuli.
"Master, I will not give up."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Su Yao looked at the woman turning around, and a pit smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Quickly snatched the sword from Shangguan Yuli's hand.
A cold light flashed.
"Ah..."
A shrill scream sounded, and the woman's face was distorted with pain. She covered the right hand that was bleeding painfully.
Now I shouldn't say hand, because the right hand that just touched Shangguan Yuli is now lying in a pool of blood.
It was cut off by Su Yao's sword at the shoulder.
Su Yao was dressed in red, with a fiery red little fox at her feet, and the sword in her hand was still dripping with blood.
"Shangguan Yuli, kill her."
She spoke coldly, threw the sword over, and walked in, with the little fox following closely behind.
It seemed that she was afraid of being punished if she was a step slower.
"After cleaning up, roll over here."
Hearing this, Tian Qing endured the pain and looked at Su Yao's back with angry eyes.
"Master..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her chest. She slowly lowered her head and saw a blue sword piercing her chest.
She raised her head and looked at Shangguan Yuli in disbelief.
