He wholeheartedly wanted nothing in return. However, he had never thought of the kind of energy that would erupt when a person's hope was suddenly cut off. Even if that retard was willing to give the refugees a silver coin, they would definitely not ask anything of her, a woman who had just become an imperial concubine.
But no matter what, Murong Yue was still very happy. Who wouldn't be happy about being able to take advantage of the situation?
Seventh Prince's Mansion was not too far away from Southern part of the city, and very quickly, the three of them arrived at the border of Southern part of the city. There was a stone tablet here with the word "Desolation" written on it. It was as if they were telling everyone that this place had been abandoned.
Once they entered this place, even if they were people of this place, they would be despised by the entire Ling-Yue Empire.
After Murong Yue and the others got off the carriage, what entered their sight was a dilapidated wall, and within the wall, the thatched cottages. There were even some people lying outside on the road with mats below them, which could be considered as their resting place.
Because of the current state of the south of the city, everyone was very nervous. Occasionally, they would meet two people who were better dressed, and they would all want to go up and ask them. What was she doing here? This time was no exception.
As the princess consort, Murong Yue's eating and dressing speed was naturally not bad. After all, she was the only true mistress of the manor. As a result, she was surrounded by a group of people the moment she appeared. In their eyes, there was an obvious greed.
Murong Yue was not flustered either, as he faintly glanced at Xiao Bai who was beside him. "Xiao Bai, is this what you meant by wanting to talk to me? "Why does it look like he's going to snatch me away?"
"How could that be? You misunderstand." Xiao Bai said, standing in front of them and angrily saying: "What are you doing? This lady is someone our Big Sister Ling Xi invited. If you act like this, aren't you afraid that Big Sister will blame you? "
The name Ling Xi had a lot of influence in this abandoned place. These people who were trying to keep Murong Yue here disappeared in an instant. Murong Yue glanced at Xiao Bai in surprise. When this girl was in front of her, she wanted to be subservient and submissive, but after coming here, she had become a bit more unyielding.
"Princess, you can only be a bit tough with us, or you'll be bullied." Xiao Bai said and made a gesture to invite her in.
Murong Yue deeply agreed as he followed Xiao Bai. Looking at Xing Er, who seemed to be somewhat afraid behind him, he lightly pulled her back: "An Xin, everything will be fine."
Xing Er nodded, but in his heart, there was an extremely deep shadow for this place. His young mistress had suffered a lot when she came here last time. She said that she would never come back, but ? In the end, he still came here.
Xing Er's heart ached a little.
Murong Yue was actually thinking about that Ling Xi fellow. I'm afraid that the south of the city is not as people think. Every place here has its own rules. And Xiao Bai, was the subordinate of the woman called Ling Xi who was just mentioned.
That Ling Xi person was the one who truly wanted to talk to her. Thinking about it this way, Murong Yue's lips hooked up into a playful smile. In this dynasty, it was truly rare for a woman to be able to make a decision.
However, it was also enough to see that this woman called Ling Xi was not easy to deal with.
Xiao Bai brought Murong Yue and walked for around fifteen minutes, and on the way, Murong Yue also met many refugees who were looking at her, and many people who were collecting land deeds. These people looked like they had gone mad and were on the verge of losing it.
I'm afraid this place is not far from being demolished.
Thinking about this, Murong Yue's anticipation grew even deeper.
The three people kept quiet until they arrived at the northern region of the southern part of the city. Xiao Bai then heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Murong Yue and said, "Esteemed wangfei, let's go in. She said that our North District is a mess and not suitable for nobles like you to talk to. "
"Oh? I must thank her for her understanding. " Murong Yue followed Xiao Bai into the entire northern and southern parts of the city, which was the only place that could be called a house. Walking in, it was very simple.
It was a room with only one hall, and a screen was placed at the front of the house. Behind the screen, one could vaguely see the figure of a person, and that person should be Ling Xi, right? As Murong Yue thought, he heard Xiao Bai say respectfully: "Sister Ling Xi, Xiao Bai has already invited the wangfei over."
Very soon, a pleasant voice was heard from inside. "I wonder if esteemed wangfei can come in for a chat?"
Go in?
Murong Yue raised his eyebrows, and walked in.
"Miss." Xing Er worriedly grabbed her sleeve.
"Don't worry, since this Miss Ling Xi has invited me here, she won't let anything happen to me." As Murong Yue said that, he pulled Xing Er's hand away and entered the screen.
When Murong Yue saw Ling Long, he was somewhat shocked. This was because this woman was not as beautiful as she thought. She looked ordinary, even a bit gentle.
Ling Xi bowed and said, "Ling Xi greets your consort."
"Miss, please get up. Since I've come today, it means that I don't care about these vulgar etiquette." Murong Yue said indifferently.
That was true. After all, no one in the Refugee areas would believe that a princess would be willing to go out here to beg a princess.
Ling Xi gratefully looked at Murong Yue, and then said, "Since the wangfei is willing to come, then can Ling Xi confirm that the wangfei has agreed to help us?"
"This will depend on whether Miss Ling Xi has prepared the things I want." As Murong Yue spoke, he found a place to sit. Negotiations were something that couldn't be rushed. At least, she didn't need to worry.
The one who was forced into a corner, was Ling Xi, not herself, Murong Yue.
Seeing Murong Yue's carefree look, Ling Xi sighed in his heart, and laughed somewhat helplessly: "Royal Concubine is truly a powerful person. Ling Xi admired him in his heart. Although Ling Xi couldn't represent the entire south side of the city, at least the north side of the south side of the city was under Ling Xi's jurisdiction. The people here have also entrusted their lives to me. "As long as Princess doesn't push it too far, we are naturally willing to give you the land deed."
"That's easy. What those people want are no more than deeds. The deeds are in my hands. If they don't dare to find me, that's fine, but if they do? " Murong Yue laughed.
She really hoped that retard would be willing to go and find her.
"Princess is such a straightforward person." As Ling Xi said this, he bowed again in gratitude. In the past few days, she'd thought of resisting, and even thought of selling the land deed. Available... Those people were like real bandits.
None of them wanted to take over, none of them wanted to pay. They could only watch helplessly as the people here were exploited. Gradually, she understood a principle. She was respected here, but to those in the south of the city, she was just a piece of trash left behind.
Those people outside, even standing with her, felt disgusted.
She was still inferior to him.
