Chapter 1170 The Empress will not abandon any of her subjects
Minglang ate the egg noodles that Xiang Ke had brought him; you could tell just by tasting them that they were freshly made by hand.
Of these people, only Jiang Jiaoyun's bodyguards had this skill.
The noodles were delicious, but she had something weighing on her mind and couldn't really enjoy them.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Xiang Ke collected the dishes almost at the last minute.
What is Li Xianqing doing?
Xiang Ke, holding a bowl and chopsticks, said, "I told her about what happened during the two days she was away. She must have rushed back day and night. Before I finished listening, she got sleepy while eating half of her noodles and fell asleep on the table."
Minglang understood, and Xiang Ke took the bowl and chopsticks and went out.
Minglang sat back in his chair, showing no signs of sleepiness.
Even though she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while.
The land of Daxia is vast, and what happens in this village may happen elsewhere.
If she can find one place now, there are countless others that she cannot see.
She wished she could uproot all these parasites and cancerous growths overnight.
But he also knew that this was just wishful thinking.
But sooner or later, she will make sure these parasites have nowhere to hide.
When she returns, she will revise the new laws.
To curb these people's evil thoughts at the root.
Just then, a small head peeked out from the doorway.
"What's the matter?"
Minglang adjusted his mindset and gently asked the little girl peeking out from outside.
The little girl huddled behind the door until Minglang beckoned to her before going inside.
"They say you're amazing, not just an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family. You managed to capture all those people and rescue all your older brothers and sisters."
The little girl's eyes were bright when she spoke, unlike when she first met her, when she seemed timid and hesitant.
It only took about a day and a half from start to finish.
Therefore, as long as people see the hope of life, they will not be afraid of the darkness they have seen before.
Minglang understood that they weren't talking about an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family, and perhaps they already had a guess.
"I will do my best to rescue them and send you home safely."
To protect you and ensure you live a peaceful life.
Minglang arrived here after leaving the capital.
With each step she took, she understood more and more why her mother had sent her out to travel.
In the capital, at the foot of the imperial city, under the wing of the Empress Dowager.
She may never see these demons in the darkness in her lifetime; who knows, as time goes by, she might become one of those civil officials who only know how to talk the talk but not walk the walk.
They've become like the proverb, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"
Without getting close to them, it's impossible to imagine the lives of ordinary people.
"If my parents don't want me to come home, can you take me away?"
The little girl's voice was timid, and her eyes became cautious.
The question she is asking now is the question that all those she rescued wanted to ask.
Minglang didn't ask why; she understood. She had learned so much along the way.
"Yes, I can send you to school."
We'll send you to a place where nobody knows you, to start over, to study, to learn a trade—any of that will do.
Minglang waved to the child, signaling the child to come closer.
When the little girl came close, Minglang gently hugged her in his arms.
Just like when her mother and grandmother held her when she was a child.
"His Majesty's policies are very good now. You are still young, so study hard. You can take the imperial examination in the future. If you encounter injustice in the world again, you can also bravely step forward to save children like you."
The little girl's eyes were blank, as if she couldn't fully understand what she meant.
At this moment, Minglang recalled his mother's words.
Both writing and learning have a time lag; you don't need to expect them to work immediately.
Everything you learn will stay with you throughout your life.
"Thank you, Miss. Thank you so much."
The little girl's innocent voice was like a boulder falling into a calm lake, the loud sound striking Minglang's heart.
Instead, it soothed her recent agitation.
"Alright, go and share what I just said with them. Tell them not to be afraid. Great Xia will not abandon any innocent people, and the Empress will not abandon any of her subjects."
Except for those beasts who have done all sorts of bad things!
"Ok!"
The little girl cautiously peeked in, then skipped and hopped away.
Watching her cheerful figure disappear into the distance, a smile finally appeared on his bright lips.
She figured some things out and stopped confining herself to the same place.
She slept soundly, and when she went out the next day...
When they saw the boys and girls she had rescued just two days ago, most of them had relieved smiles on their faces.
Perhaps they haven't completely let go of these nightmarish days, but they know they still have hope.
that's enough.
This little bit of hope is enough to sustain them for the rest of their lives.
"Miss, we're having braised goose in an iron pot today. Come on over, it smells amazing!"
Xiang Ke stood at the kitchen doorway, calling out, holding a rice scoop in his hand.
Minglang walked over helplessly.
"Isn't it a bit too extravagant to eat such meat so early in the morning?"
Xiang Ke looked at His Highness with confusion.
"Why would these bastards keep all the chickens, ducks, and fish they raise for their ancestors' sacrifices if they didn't eat them all?"
As he spoke, Xiang Ke took a sip.
"Even if these people go to hell, they won't receive this kind of treatment."
Minglang could understand her retaliatory decision.
More importantly, Jiang Jiaoyun's guard skills are really good; the stewed goose in an iron pot is indeed delicious.
"How is it, Miss? Is the braised goose in an iron pot delicious?"
Xiang Ke blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Minglang expectantly.
"It may be delicious, but why are you so excited?"
Xiang Ke gave a mysterious chuckle.
"I've taken stock, and there are still dozens of pigs on this farm. Shall we have roast suckling pig for lunch?"
Minglang smiled helplessly at her:
"Whatever you want, whatever you say."
Xiang Ke, as if he had won some great victory, let out a "Yay!" and turned to go into the kitchen.
"Sometimes I envy her; she's carefree and doesn't know any worries."
Jiang Jiaoyun sat down beside Minglang, listening to Xiang Ke's cheerful laughter from the kitchen, and the envy in her eyes was genuine.
"Would you be willing to switch places with Xiang Ke?"
The hint of envy in Jiang Jiaoyun's eyes vanished instantly.
Let's set aside the current prospects of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion for now.
She hadn't forgotten that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion also had a formidable Princess Chang Le.
In the Chiang family, from the time she came of age, she was recognized by the family as the next person in charge.
There's no need for any extra struggles; her grandparents, parents, and the elders of the family will pave a smooth road for her, just waiting for her to step onto it.
All she had to do was strive to become stronger so that she could protect the Jiang family.
Until the Jiang family produced another prodigy like her.
She will do her best, just like the elders of the Jiang family, to pave the way for future generations and ensure that the Jiang family will always stand tall in Daxia.
