Chapter 339 Xiao Muyu’s way of survival

The emperor glanced at Concubine Xiao in front of him.

He felt that she was still the innocent woman he saw that day.

Greedy, fun-loving, and devoid of scheming.

I couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

"Don't you want to ask me for permission to move back to your palace?"

Xiao Muyu's expression became melancholy: "I think so, but will the emperor be right? What's more important now is to solve the problem of the victims. Your Majesty, Xiao Yu is just a loser who only knows how to eat and drink in the palace, so why don't you let me?"

How about I go take a look?"

The emperor pretended to be angry and snorted: "When I looked at you, I didn't want to solve the problem of the victims, nor did I want to share my worries. You are just greedy and want to look for food in restaurants everywhere, right?"

Xiao Muyu seemed to have been guessed about the central issue, but she still said stubbornly: "No, how can I be so greedy? I can guarantee that I really want to help look at the restaurant, and by the way, see if the adjustment should be lowered in the year of famine.

Regarding the price of food, try the new dishes again to see if the taste is suitable. If it is suitable, bring it back to the emperor for a taste."

"That's pretty much it."

In the emperor's opinion, he had already figured out Xiao Muyu's thoughts.

"Then the emperor..."

Xiao Muyu looked at the emperor and blinked. The emperor coughed lightly and said with a serious look: "That's it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I love you the most."

After saying that, he did not forget to give the emperor a sip on his face.

The emperor suddenly felt a little dizzy.

On the day he left the palace, Xiao Muyu packed a lot of banknotes.

By the time the queen knew the situation, Xiao Muyu had already left.

The queen was so angry that she was not willing to let that woman go so easily.

So he said hypocritically: "Your Majesty, you just let Concubine Xiao leave the palace. What if she doesn't come back?"

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "It's not like she has never gone out before. Besides, the world is as big as the king's land. Where can she go if she doesn't come back?"

"Have you forgotten Bian Cheng? The regent is there, I'm afraid..."

The emperor glanced over, and the queen immediately shut her mouth.

But soon he spoke softly: "Queen, if you are pregnant, you should rest in the palace more often. Didn't the imperial doctor say that? Queen, you have a delicate body and should stay in bed more. Come, I will send you back right now."

"

After hearing this, the queen smiled again. She finally understood that this matter could not be mentioned again.

After Xiao Muyu left the palace, she went straight to the restaurant in the capital.

She knew that since she gave the emperor the impression of being a glutton, she must keep this image to the end.

However, the capital city was still prosperous. If Qin Zhiyi hadn't told her everything, if she hadn't already known the plot, she wouldn't have believed that there was a famine.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I ordered a few high-quality wines and dishes. Xiao Muyu's eyes widened as she watched the dishes she liked being served.

Husband and wife's lung slices, mapo tofu, boiled fish, sweet and sour pork loin, and short crispy pork made her mouth water.

After devouring the meal, she didn't leave the rest of the meal behind, but packed it up and took it away.

After all, there is no such store after passing through this village. Who knows if there is food elsewhere.

Sure enough, after leaving the capital, she felt the desolation outside.

But the strange thing is that there is no sign of a refugee dozens of kilometers outside the capital. The peaceful and prosperous times are so peaceful that even she doubts whether the famine is real.

It's no wonder that the emperor didn't take these things to heart. It was really because the officials in the capital protected this place so well.

After the carriage traveled for a day and a night, she arrived at another pool city.

There were no soldiers guarding the city gate, or there were soldiers guarding it, but they were already so hungry that they were as thin as firewood and sat down to rest.

Even the soldiers are so hungry, let alone the people of Ming Dynasty.

She asked people to drive the carriage into the city, and saw that the ground was full of hungry people.

Many people can hardly even moan.

What she saw was far more shocking than what she heard.

She opened the car curtain and looked out, and many people with innocent faces looked numbly at her.

At this time, the guard driving the carriage whispered: "Madam, I'm afraid something is wrong. I'm worried that there will be an ambush."

"The way you look at them, you see something is wrong with us."

Xiao Muyu also noticed that those people looked at them one by one, as if they were looking at a cow or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"Well, let's leave the city first."

The guard received the order, tightened the reins of the horse and turned around.

The horse neighed at this moment, then turned around and rushed towards the city gate quickly.

The people who were originally numb seemed to come to life at this time. They couldn't care so much and rushed towards this direction with their teeth and claws. The people in front did not care about life and death and rushed out to block the carriage.

The guards couldn't bear to let their horses hit the civilians, so they tightened their reins and braked in time.

But the moment the carriage stopped, all those people rushed forward. The guard was startled and kicked him away, but more people rushed forward.

They stretched out their hands one by one, trying to pull them off, and some even rushed to hug the horses and bite them directly.

Their hands were covered in brown blood, and their eyes were also bloodshot.

They have eaten people!

This was the first thing the guard reacted to.

At this moment, one of them grabbed Xiao Muyu's leg and pulled her out frantically.

Another one opened his mouth wide and was about to bite Xiao Muyu's leg.

Did he see this situation and have to take out his knife and behead him directly?

The rest of the people who saw this scene rushed towards the killed man.

Seeing this, the guards quickly broke out of the siege and rushed out of the city.

After running for more than ten miles in one breath, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Muyu was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"What did they want to do just now? Eat us? Also, did the other people eat the person who was killed?"

The scene just now was like the end of the world.

It was when she was bored and watching zombie movies that appeared on the screen.

Now that it was really happening before her eyes, it was far more shocking than the movie.

"It's my subordinate's fault that the empress was frightened."

Xiao Muyu waved her hands, not wanting to say anything more, and then she saw a blood mark on her leg and couldn't help but hissed.

The guard also saw that she had been bitten on her thigh.

"Empress!"

The guard frowned and immediately put the sword aside.

"Mother, are you okay?"

"It should be fine."

Xiao Muyu endured the pain, she didn't even notice when she was bitten just now.

At this time, he carefully lifted up his skirt to check his injuries.

When the guard saw that the imperial concubine had exposed her beautiful legs, he was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away.

Xiao Muyu started to cry at this moment: "Those people are too bad, I got such a big bite on my leg..."
