Shang Ruyi originally wanted to stay away from the name as if she was escaping, but when she heard this sentence, her steps suddenly stopped.

Cheng Qiao said, please be careful?

According to what she said just now, even if Cheng Qiao really wants to care about her, she should ask her to take care of herself. Why is it the word "careful"?

Be careful and take care of yourself. Although it sounds similar, there are huge differences at this time and here.

Shang Ruyi looked back at Cheng Qiao and originally wanted to ask questions, but after looking around, he changed his words and said, "By the way, yesterday the people from the Imperial Guard fought with your people and suffered a lot of casualties. Do you know this?"

Cheng Qiao's face darkened and she whispered: "Of course."

"Your Majesty is sending someone to investigate this matter. Do you know why the fight started?"

“…”

Cheng Qiao looked at him as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, "For a plate of green vegetables."

"What?"

Shang Ruyi thought she had heard it wrong, and Cheng Qiao also smiled bitterly and repeated: "It's just a plate of vegetables."

Shang Ruyi was confused - for a plate of vegetables?

How is that possible?!

It seemed that even Cheng Qiao, who knew the truth, found it ridiculous. He smiled bitterly and said, "Young lady, don't doubt it. In fact, as soon as the incident happened, we all went to ask clearly. Yesterday, our people went to the restaurant in the south of the city to have dinner. There was a plate of green vegetables in the dish they ordered. After that, the people from the Imperial Guard came and ordered the same dish, but the store only had the last bit left. The people from the Imperial Guard asked our people to give out the dish. Naturally, our people refused, so they started arguing, and they started a fight as they quarreled."

“…”

"And that's it."

Shang Ruyi was still speechless. Although she heard Eunuch Yu say that the people on both sides had a grudge, it was natural to quarrel like this, but when she thought that the cause was a plate of vegetables, she still felt incredible.

After a while, she said, "How could it be for a little vegetable?"

Cheng Qiao looked at him again, and then stopped talking a few times, and finally said, "Although it is just a little vegetable, it is of great value."

"What?"

Shang Ruyi heard the problem and immediately asked: "Why do you say that?"

Na Chengqiao said: "This time His Majesty's tour of Jiangdu Palace brought more than 400,000 people, and the food and drink of these people are all problems."

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "But I heard that His Majesty the Emperor brought food here."

"I did bring some food, but the food rations of 400,000 people were consumed too much, so I had to get some from the people, not to mention that fresh vegetables, poultry, meat and eggs cannot be brought, and I need to provide them with local people."

“…”

"Now it's the time when the young man is not in a favor. The people themselves can't eat enough, and suddenly there are more than 400,000 mouths. The young lady is afraid that she doesn't know that now even the eggs have increased to three cents of silver."

"What?"

This was no longer known how many times Shang Ruyi couldn't believe her ears. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Cheng Qiao, and suddenly looked back at Wo Xue, but saw Wo Xue look embarrassed. She hesitated for a while before nodding her head gently.

It's really true!

To put it this way, the plate of vegetables that caused a chaotic battle and killed and injured many people was afraid-

Cheng Qiao said worriedly: "I heard that people have begun to starve to death outside the city, and the situation in the city is not optimistic."

As he said that, he looked up at Shang Ruyi: "So please take care of your wife and be careful."

“…”

Shang Ruyi stopped talking, but only looked at him with a serious expression, and she also knew the profound meaning of the word "careful" in his words.

If the people cannot survive, there will be only one way to go, which is also the fundamental reason why the rebels have flocked to the country over the years.

Shang Ruyi said quietly: "I understand, you should take care of yourself too."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

But after just two steps, Cheng Qiao called her again. Shang Ruyi turned around and didn't know what he would say, but saw Cheng Qiao hesitating and asked softly: "Mrs. Young Master, isn't the second young master really coming?"

“…”

Shang Ruyi felt like she was punched hard in the chest.

She barely suppressed her disordered breathing, saw Cheng Qiao for a while, and smiled faintly: "He, he has his own thing to do, and there are also people who need his protection. I think he will not come."

After saying that, she stopped stopping and turned around and left.

Walking back, Shang Ruyi kept walking, until she almost returned to the palace where she lived, she stopped and barely took a breath. Wo Xue walked up quietly to support her, and said softly: "Mrs. Young Master, you must take care of yourself."

Shang Ruyi gasped for a while and looked back at her: "Wo Xue, is the situation outside really that bad?"

“…”

Wo Xue didn't say anything, but the posture of lowering her head seemed to be the default.

Shang Ruyi's brows frowned and she took a few more breaths before saying, "Since they are already like this, why is the kitchen so wasteful?"

Woxue still didn't speak.

Shang Ruyi frowned and looked at her, and recalled every time she met Chu Yang, his life was indeed luxurious. He took the first time he met her and accompanied her to see the scenery. The gorgeous pair of woven feathered fairy shoes on her feet were only a bit mud, and she was replaced and discarded on the side of the road.

The pearls and jade inlaid on the shoes are enough for several families to eat and drink for a year.

Thinking of this, she sighed and said, "What I said is also redundant."

After saying that, she shook her head, looked up and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, she returned to the palace door. But as soon as she pushed open the door, Shang Ruyi's breathing immediately tensed up again, because she saw Chu Yang sitting inside, her slender phoenix eyes slowly looking at her when she heard the sound of the door opening, her eyes were impatient.

When did he come? How long have he been waiting?

Shang Ruyi and Wo Xue were both startled and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Greetings to the Emperor."

Chu Yang slowly stood up and walked to her. When the hem of her clothes was whirling, Shang Ruyi once again saw the luxurious and exquisite feather-woven immortal shoes on his feet. However, now she saw that she was completely gone from the amazement of beauty at the beginning.

Just feel dazzling.

At this moment, Chu Yang's voice sounded above his head—

“Where have you gone?”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not refuse me to go out..."

"I'm asking you where you are."

"Ruyi-I stayed in the house for several days and was a little bored. Today I wanted to go out for a walk, so I let Woxue accompany me to take a walk outside for a while."

“…”

Chu Yang looked at her for a while and said, "Next time, don't let me wait that long."

Shang Ruyi didn't take a breath until this time: "Yes."

Then, a smile appeared on Chu Yang's face. He bent down and grabbed Shang Ruyi's wrist and helped her up, saying, "Actually, I came here to see you. Although you were not familiar with Jianwu you accompanied me yesterday, you are very talented, and Jianwu is also good for your body. So, I plan to take you there again-"

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment and said, "But Your Majesty, I have just walked for a while and I am a little tired."

Chu Yang said: "Is that so? Then you rest immediately."

After saying that, he grabbed her hand and walked back to the table to sit down, looked at her carefully for a while, and then said, "You are tired and your face is not very good. You can't go too far when you go for a walk in the future."

“…”

Shang Ruyi looked up at him.

At this time, she couldn't close her eyes and remembered the first time when the two met. At that time, she was a hundred times more infatuated than she is now, and he just took herself to an abandoned post pavilion to see the scenery, without any more comfort.

Unlike now, I even care about my own face.

For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder which side is the real face of this Jiuwu Supreme, but immediately, she told herself that in fact, both sides are.

Because the court officials' advice was harsh, he was the one who was exiled and killed directly; he was the one who harsh government orders and regarded the people of the world as a must; he was the one who swept the floor and turned into soldiers, and buried hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Daye Dynasty on the battlefield of Gouli Kingdom.

Even - he is the one who cares about Queen Jiang at all, and he is the one who cares very much about herself.

People are inherently multifaceted.

Thinking about this, isn’t Yuwen Ye the same?

However, the two of them have different hearts from what they expect, and in essence, there is no difference.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile.

As soon as he saw her smile, Chu Yang immediately said: "What are you laughing at?"

"I--"

Shang Ruyi was stunned and didn't know how to answer. At this moment, Eunuch Yu walked in from outside and bowed to Chu Yang and said, "Your Majesty."

Chu Yang frowned: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Yu said justice: "The battle between the old palace guards and the imperial guards that happened in the city yesterday has been found out. I will report to Your Majesty now."

Shang Ruyi immediately looked at him.

As soon as Chu Yang stretched out his hand, the Yu Eunuch hurriedly presented the document. Chu Yang took the document and opened it to look at it for a few times, and his face immediately became dark.

After a while, he said, "Just for a dish?"

Shang Ruyi's breathing couldn't help but sink.

really.

Although she knew that Cheng Qiao would not deceive herself, she still felt absurd and uncomfortable when she saw the truth from Chu Yang's mouth when she saw it from the investigation documents.

It's just for a plate of vegetables.

Chu Yang's face turned pale, his eyes were full of anger and read the document again, then closed it with a snap, saying, "Since the matter has been found out, there is no need to say more. The Imperial Guards, the two who were leading the trouble, will be executed immediately; the remaining thirteen will be confiscated and exiled. The people who participated in the fight in Jiangdu Palace each had seventy military sticks, and all of them were fined for one year."

After saying that, he threw the document to the ground.

Eunuch Yu hurriedly knelt down and picked it up, saying, "I will go and pass the order now."

Chu Yang let out a deep breath, raised his head, and just met Shang Ruyi's gaze that was about to speak but stopped, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"

Shang Ruyi had no objection to his rewards and punishments.

However, only killing a few people, beating a few people, punishing a few people, is just a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. She thought for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty, actually that dish--"

Before she could finish her words, Eunuch Yu, who was crossing the threshold, suddenly tripped.
