Chapter 741: Life is at stake
Yun Yizhu became even more angry because Di Siyu had come to find her before. She planned to ignore Yan Zhou if Yan Zhou went to apologize to her, but unexpectedly, before she could do anything, Yan Zhou had never looked for her for a moment, as if it had just evaporated from the world. Except for seeing her once yesterday, she had not seen a single figure for the whole day.
Yun Yizhu poked the white rice in his bowl hard, treating the rice as Yan Zhou's glance, as if it could relieve his anger.
At this time, the servants of the inn suddenly hurriedly walked in and reported to Yun Yizhu, who was eating casually: "Report to Your Highness, a little boy came out of the inn to see Your Highness. If you have something to do, you should tell Your Highness that it is related to life."
The servant looked up at Yun Yizhu who was doing nothing, and felt that the princess's mood seemed to be something wrong today, and seemed a little angry. So she obediently lowered her head and thought in her heart who could still give the princess anger in this inn.
"Human life?"
Yun Yizhu put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and he didn't want to move the remaining food. He waved his hand and asked someone to remove the food, and then said to the rewarding servant: "Since he said so seriously, let him come in. I'll hear what this child is talking about, life-related matters."
Anyway, she has made no progress in research on the plague in the past two days, and she doesn't know when Sister Miao Ling's reply will arrive. It's better to take some time to find something else to do, so that she can relax her brain. Maybe she can have a flash of inspiration and think of a solution to the poison.
When Li Tiezhu was led into the inn, he was still a little surprised, because he originally thought that the princess's living place would have to live better than those in the Governor's Office. However, when he came in, he looked at the magnificent courtyard, and suddenly he felt that he was wrong again.
A person like His Highness is definitely different from those in the Governor's Office. Just looking at the clean and uncharacteristic appearance of the inn, you know that His Highness must have spent all his time on them and would rather live in such an ordinary courtyard than move to a wealthy courtyard like the Governor's Office.
Thinking of this, he admired Yun Yizhu even more, and even with his random look of gaze, he obediently followed the servant to the side hall.
"Your Highness, the princess, brought him."
"Well, you go down first, I'll ask first." Yun Yizhu waved his hand gently to the servant, and then looked at the boy in front of him. It seemed that he was an honest boy.
She nodded and asked Li Tiezhu: "You just told the doorman that you have something to tell me, and it is a life? Do you know that there are so many people in Tongzhou City who want to see me with various excuses every day, so you'd better not lie to me, otherwise it will bother me if I delay my time."
She just tentatively scared the young man to test whether his next words were true.
It is true that people try to see her all day long, but because she refused to develop the antidote before, and Yan Zhou went to cook for the rest of the matter. This young man was the first time she had dealt with someone she wanted to see.
"I...I don't have it, I won't lie. This time I came to see the princess. It was indeed because I suspected that the uncle next door was very suspicious, so I wanted to ask for help from the princess."
He explained in panic, as if he was hurrying to prove his purpose, his eyes were very real, and it didn't look like a lying material.
Yun Yizhu nodded at him and said, "Okay, then you can tell me carefully, what's going on with your uncle next door? Why do you think this matter is so serious that you have to tell me?"
"Yes." Li Tiezhu was very grateful to Yun Yizhu for this opportunity he gave him. He kowtowed to Yun Yizhu unexpectedly. Yun Yizhu pursed his lips. She wanted to stop it, but she still didn't expect this. She didn't stop it, so she would forget it.
The boy was in the voice change period and his voice was very unique. He sounded very rough, but it was not unpleasant.
"My name is Li Tiezhu, I live in a house in the disaster-stricken area. Originally, there was a house next to me that was empty, but a few days ago, when Lord Yang called the people outside the city into the city, people lived in the empty house next to me, which is now the uncle and aunt Zhang."
He licked his dry lips. Because Tongzhou had little water, how could he eat dry food every day? The boy's lips were cracked one after another. You could see several cracked wounds, and other wounds with scabbed, lying on his lips like crooked bugs.
Yun Yizhu poured him a glass of water on the table, handed it to him and said, "Drink a little water first, drink a little water and then continue."
The boy hesitated to look at the tea cup in her hand, and kowtowed to Yun Yizhu and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Princess." Then he went up to take the tea cup, drank it with two mouthfuls of "Guru Guru", and then smiled and said to Yun Yizhu, "Your Highness Princess, you are so nice."
As she said that, she was about to put the water cup back and kneel back, but Yun Yizhu called out, "Okay, stop kneeling, just sit there later and talk, don't be so restrained." Then she poured another glass of water for the boy and handed it over.
Li Tiezhu took the second cup of water in surprise, but he did not finish the second cup at once. Instead, he held it in his hand and drank it in small sips. He sat on one of the rows according to Yun Yizhu's request, not far and not close to Yun Yizhu.
"I originally heard that the uncle was a village where His Highness the Princess passed by on the way back to Tongzhou City. He came to Tongzhou City to help, so I thought he would work with us, but since he moved into me next door, the uncle has never left the house. Even when he resisted the siege yesterday, all the men went to the city gate to help, but I still didn't see the uncle next door."
He said hesitantly at this time: "I suspect...I suspect that the uncle next door abuses Aunt Zhang because he doesn't go out, but in order to have something to eat, the aunt must go out to do work every day, otherwise the food she received every day would not be enough for two people to eat. Now, the victims in the city, except for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, must do things for everyone if they want to eat."
"Well, I ordered this requirement. After all, no matter how much money I have, I can't afford to support people who eat for free. Those with hands and feet should not be raised by the court. After all, the silver from the court was not blown by the strong wind, but was collected from other people."
Yun Yizhu raised his hand and tapped the cup gently, explaining this matter to the boy very objectively.
