Chapter 1970 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

Gu Jinning temporarily resolved the disaster in some areas in the court last time, but now he has to find another solution.

However, the previous emperor was extravagant during his reign, and the treasury was indeed empty. It was extremely difficult to come up with enough money and grain to provide relief to the victims.

But if left unchecked, the situation may become more serious.

If the tragedy of cannibalism were to occur at that time, the situation would only become more out of control.

For this matter, all the ministers in the court gathered in the young emperor's study to think of a solution. They discussed one thing after another, but they could not come up with a useful solution until dusk.

Wait until everyone else has left, leaving only Gu Jinning.

The young emperor's tender face revealed deep sorrow.

"Teacher, are the disasters in various places now really that serious?" The young emperor raised his head, and his face, which had not yet been completely influenced by the world, showed his worry for the people.

Gu Jinning lowered his eyes and looked at him for a long time, then nodded heavily.

"The palace can cut back on expenses and save some money." The young emperor reached out and grabbed Gu Jinning's sleeve, his eyes shining slightly.

It was only when the lights were turned on that Gu Jinning walked out of the palace.

Instead of taking a carriage, he walked back home.

The capital city was not affected too greatly, but the prices of many foods went up. The people were in a panic, and the wealthy were eager to stockpile food for the next few years.

Shi Li had dinner at her aunt's house, and heard her complain about the hardships she was experiencing due to the rising prices. So she thoughtfully suggested not to make new clothes this year, which earned her a smile.

When he returned to his own courtyard, he saw the letter sent in by the shopkeeper outside and breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, under the reminder of the barrage, she asked the shopkeeper to notify shops in various places in advance and quietly stockpile some food, because she was worried that the disaster would further expand.

As the saying goes-

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Shi Li couldn't do anything else, but after running the business for a few years, he had saved a lot of money, so he could use it to do something within his ability.

Sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, Shi Li picked up a pen and wrote a letter. Without caring whether it was late or not, he urged the people in the yard to deliver the letter immediately.

Unknowingly, Gu Jinning walked to the vicinity of the Su Mansion.

When he realized where he was, Gu Jinning was stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked towards the high walls of the Su Mansion.

Under the bright moon, everything looks snowy.

He lowered his head and grasped the jade pendant worn around his waist, vaguely recalling the many experiences he had over the years.

Before he met Shi Li, he didn't feel anything when his mother mentioned child marriage. He just knew that there was such a person.

Six years ago, he followed his family's orders and went to Jiangnan Shijia to study. While talking to her father, he heard the sound of footsteps and turned to look over.

That was the first time I saw Shi Li.

She was so small, like a child who had not yet grown up, with a pair of bright and round eyes looking at him, and even he felt as if his heart was melting.

For the first time, I clearly realized that this was the person who would accompany me for the rest of my life.

It seems... not something difficult to accept.

But accidents always come so quickly.

He left the Shi family because he didn't want to be caught and didn't want to implicate the Shi family. He was sure that if he stayed, the Shi family would not hand him over, but would find ways to help him hide.

But in that case, the risk that the Shi family would have to bear would be too great.

He left home, but did not leave Jiangnan.

Not long after hiding, I heard that all the members of the Shi family were detained in the mansion and could not go out, but at least no one was hurt.

Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard that Shi Li fell ill.

Although it was so dangerous at that time, he still couldn't ignore it. He took the risk and pretended to be the doctor's medicine boy, followed him into the Shi Mansion, and took a look at the unconscious girl.

She was in a daze due to the fever and didn't know anything. She looked so pitiful.

Even now when he thinks back on it, Gu Jinning admires his own unclear mind at the time. If he was caught, he would have really let down the entire family.

Fortunately, God was merciful, and his crazy behavior was not discovered by anyone. After that, he dared not linger to inquire about the Shi family, and walked his own way step by step in the dark.

In these six years, he only met Shi Li once at the beginning.

She went to the teahouse to rest, and coincidentally he was there too, so he quietly went to serve her tea and glanced at her.

It seemed that she recognized him and delayed the searching officers and soldiers for a while.

Gu Jinning thought about these old memories and sighed softly.

I had already decided on Shi Li at some point in time, but there were too many things to do and too little attention to pay to her.

The moonlight fell on Gu Jinning, making her look particularly lonely.

But when I think of someone in my heart, I don’t seem so lonely.
