Ruoshui immediately stepped forward and said, "Justice Princess said just now that it's a bit stuffy here, so you need to go out for some breath."

Nan Yan said: "Don't let her run around, hurry up and find her back."

"yes."

Ruoshui immediately asked someone to go out to take a look, but after looking at it, he found that the figure of His Royal Highness of the Princess could not be found around the side hall. When asked about the people around him, they all said that they had not seen His Royal Highness of the Princess.

Nan Yan immediately frowned.

At this time, when the monk Shikong heard what was happening here, he hurried over to serve him. He said, "Empress, my monk's disciple has disappeared. Someone just saw them gathered together, but I'm afraid that it's unknown where he took His Royal Highness the Princess to play."

After hearing what he said, Nan Yan breathed a little relieved.

In fact, she didn't think there would be any other accidents in this place. After all, with the previous one, Zhu Feng could not allow any traitors to appear in Dacien Temple. She was just too naughty and she didn't want this girl to make a fuss here.

So he said, "Let me find them back."

Shikong said: "Yes."

After saying that, he sent several monks under him to let them go and take a look.

On the other side, Monk Buji took Ming Xin and Xinping out of the back door of the kitchen. After walking along the path made of bluestone for a while, he arrived at the door of the second door in the backyard of Dacien Temple, but the small door was locked.

It is so quiet that there is no sound of birds.

Xinping looked around and said, "Where are the hungry people? You are not lying to this princess, are you?"

Monk Buji took out a bunch of keys from his waist and said with a smile: "Your Highness, how dare I coax you? But no matter what you see for a while, don't be scared, and don't yell loudly."

Xinping said, "I won't be scared!"

"That's good."

The monk Buji walked to the small door, opened the door lock, and creaked open the small door.

Then he waved to Xinping: "Princess, come and see."

He walked up in confusion.

This is a two-door gate in the northeast corner of Dacien Temple. There is also a long corridor outside, which is a shortcut to the backyard to the sutra hall. Ordinary pilgrims will not come here. Even monks in the temple usually walk here, so this place is always very quiet.

But at this moment, it was all over here!

These people were ragged, pale and thin, and even thin, with only bones left. Perhaps Monk Buji had just brought them steamed buns, some had one or two left in their hands, and some had finished eating them, but even so, their deep sunken eyes were filled with hunger.

This hunger seemed to swallow their reason and spirit.

When they looked at others, there was no human expression in their empty eyes, just like growing mouths.

The wooden look makes people shudder.

When they watched this, Xinping suddenly shivered and subconsciously took two steps back. Her heel hit the threshold and almost fell. Fortunately, Ming Xin quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.

"Your Highness, be careful."

After the heart stood firm, the person was still a little dazed. He looked back at Mingxin and then looked at those pale and thin people, especially some women still held dying babies in their arms. These babies were unable to eat steamed buns, but their mother's shriveled body had long lost milk, and they were so hungry that they could not even cry.

Although Xinping didn't know what was going on, his eyes subconsciously turned red and he said to Mingxin in a crying voice: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Monk Buji said, "Your Highness, they are hungry people."

“…”

"They couldn't afford to eat in their hometown, so they had to escape from famine. These people luckily entered Jinling City. The temple accommodated them, but there was no more food. It was the limit to give them an adult and a steamed bun every day."

Xinping couldn't believe his ears.

In her eyes, her father is omnipotent. As long as he is the emperor, everyone in the world will be happy and safe. How could he be like in front of him?

She covered her ears and said loudly, "You lied to me! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

At this time, the hungry people became a little turbulent.

They fled to Jinling City and were chased by the government everywhere. They wanted to expel them from the city. They had to escape to the Dacien Temple. The monks here cared for them. They had originally let them live in the backyard of the temple before, but in the past few days, when they heard that the emperor was coming, they drove them to the alley outside the second gate, so that they were not allowed to speak, let alone children cry. If the emperor saw them, they would definitely chop their heads.

Just now, they heard that Monk Buji actually called this girl "Little Prince" and immediately understood her identity.

Several of the adults walked up to the calm, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, you have pity for us, don't drive us away!"

Xinping was frightened by their appearance, and hurriedly retreated again, staggering under her feet and then fell to the ground.

She cried in fear.

"Father! Mother!"

At this moment, the person who was looking for her in the distance heard the sound here and hurried over.

The little eunuch Delu, who was beside the imperial concubine, walked the fastest. When she saw Xinping sitting on the ground and crying, she was still kneeling in front of her, and immediately rushed to Xinping.

"Protect the princess!"

The guards hurriedly pulled out the knife from their waists and pointed it at the hungry people.

At this time, the monk Shi Kong who followed him immediately saw this and immediately said, "Stop! Stop!"

He came over and said to Delu: "Dadfather-in-law, don't misunderstand. They are not bad people, they are just hungry people sheltered in this temple."

Delu frowned, but he ignored him and helped Princess Xinping up first and asked, "Your Highness Princess, are you okay?"

Xinping's eyes were still filled with tears.

While sobbing, she looked at the hungry people who were scared to death, then turned to Delu and said, "I want to see my mother, I want to see my father. I want to ask them, what's going on?"

Delu has been with the imperial concubine for many years. When he saw these hungry people with pale faces and thin skin, he actually knew something bad in his heart. He didn't expect that Monk Shi Kong was so bold that he actually hid hungry people in the Dacien Temple where the emperor sacrificed. Now the princess is going to the emperor and the imperial concubine to ask, isn't this obviously slapping the emperor?

So he said softly: "Your Highness, this is not possible."

"I don't care!"

Xinping was also confused at this time, and shook his hand away and said, "I must ask clearly!"
