When Qin Yining saw Yuchi Yan's expression, she knew that he had misunderstood.
She just wanted to persuade Yuchi Yan to get over it and not hurt his body. However, Yuchi Yan seemed to have thought of something else.
"Your majesty, this subject's daughter feels that nothing is more important than the emperor's health." Qin Yining could only kneel and say softly, "You are the true ruler of Dayan. Your existence is the reason why we continue to persevere."
Yuchi Yan focused his gaze on Qin Yining. His gaze gradually softened from suspicion, but then he gave a bitter laugh.
"How can zhen be worthy of being the ruler of a country in this state? How can I be worthy of being the reason why the people continue to persevere? It's because zhen is here that the people have to suffer like this. "
When he came out now, he didn't even dare to use the emperor's ceremonial guard. It wasn't just because everyone was too hungry to put on a show for him, it was also because he was afraid that if he came out in his dragon robe, he would be eaten alive by the people filled with hatred.
Yuchi Yan asked himself several times. Was it right or wrong for him to continue to fight against the people of Da Zhou?
Now that there was already the Southern Yan in the south, his country had already been divided into two. The reason why he was clenching his teeth and not relenting was because he didn't want to be the ruler of a fallen country and be recorded as a shameful event in the history books. He didn't want to be ashamed to meet his ancestors a hundred years later.
But when he saw the bark of the trees in the capital being stripped and the children curled up in a corner, he felt that he was the most selfish person in the world.
For his dignity and dignity, he was sacrificing the lives of countless innocent people.
"Stand up. Zhen knows how loyal your Family Qin is. "Yuchi Yan shook his head with a bitter smile," It's just that zhen is really confused right now. "
Qin Yining stood up and sat back down on the stone. She lowered her head and didn't say anything.
She understood that talking about court politics would cause one to burn oneself.
Yuchi Yan sat there in a daze for a long time. Qin Yining sat there with him in a daze. By the time Yuchi Yan came back to his senses, there were already sounds of men talking in the direction of Ning Garden.
Yuchi Yan looked at Qin Yining questioningly.
Qin Yining explained, "Perhaps the people who went into the mountains to hunt and dig for wild vegetables have returned."
The Yuchi Yan smiled and said, "You're smart. You're with so many people, living near the mountains and rivers. You can take care of each other."
He supported himself against the tree trunk and stood up. He patted the dust off his body and said, "Little Lu."
"Here." Eunuch Lu, who was standing in the distance, immediately came over. "Your Majesty."
"Give it to Fourth Young Miss."
"Yes."
Eunuch Lu immediately called for the imperial bodyguards who had just escorted them over. Only then did Qin Yining realize that the imperial bodyguards were all carrying baskets on their backs.
The two imperial bodyguards put down the baskets. Inside the baskets were a bag of fist-sized black biscuits that were commonly eaten in the army. There was also a bag of medicinal herbs that had already been packed.
Yuchi Yan was a bit embarrassed. He smiled self-mockingly and said, "This emperor is really … This emperor knows that you have a lot of people here. This emperor was afraid that you would have starved long ago. Unfortunately, this emperor has gold and silver, but cannot buy food. Don't be disdainful of these. There isn't much dried food, so you should eat with the people around you first. You can take the rest back. As for the medicinal herbs, this is the medicine that this emperor ordered people to prepare to nourish your blood and body. It seems that your body hasn't fully recovered yet … Don't be too foolish and give everything to others. In any case, you should at least eat a few meals. Look at how thin you've become. "
Yuchi Yan sighed and shook his head.
He was the emperor of a country, but he couldn't even let the woman he liked eat a full meal. No one could be in such a predicament.
Qin Yining very gratefully knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty's kindness in providing timely assistance, this subject's daughter will engrave it in her heart. Thank you, Your Majesty. "
"Quickly get up." Seeing that she looked so weak from hunger that she could be blown away by the wind, her small face was deathly pale, and her lips had no color, Yuchi Yan felt a wave of pain in his heart. "Stay here and eat a flatbread first."
Qin Yining looked at him with a bit of surprise.
Yuchi Yan continued, "Your servant girls are quite loyal to you. Even at this time, they didn't abandon you and leave. Call them over and eat a full meal together. This is an imperial edict. This emperor will watch you eat. You can only go back after you've finished eating."
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and thanked him emotionally. She then called Ji Yun, Bing Tang, and Qiu Lu over. The four of them each took a hard flatbread and began to eat.
Yuchi Yan looks at Qin Yining, who is like a little hamster. The mixed flour pancake, which is hard and cold, tastes like the imperial cuisine in her mouth. Yuchi Yan's nose twitches and tears almost fall down.
This couldn't continue!
If this continued, all the citizens of the capital would be buried with his selfishness!

When Qin Huaiyuan opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar room. When he looked out of the window, all he could see was darkness. It was probably nighttime.
He didn't immediately get up, but calmly recalled what had happened today.
After eating a bowl of thin porridge, he felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. Then, he fell asleep on the table. When he woke up, he was already here.
It seemed like the person who brought him here didn't want to kill him. At least, they didn't want to kill him yet.
"You're awake?"
Just as Qin Huaiyuan was letting his imagination run wild, he heard the door creak open. A tall figure carried a tray with a big bowl on it. The person who came in later carried a candlestick. Because the candlelight was behind him, Qin Huaiyuan didn't see who it was until the person behind him put the candlestick on the table.
Qin Huaiyuan sat up. His expression didn't change as he looked at the steaming hot Yang Chun noodles on the table. Then, he glanced at Pang Xiao, who was wearing patched clothes and dressed like a disaster victim. He suddenly sneered, "So it's you. What, did you bring this old man here to treat me to a meal?"
Pang Xiao didn't care about Qin Huaiyuan's sarcastic words. He still bowed properly and said, "Father-in-law, this son-in-law was rude. This time, I really acted rashly. But if I let you know in advance, it would be inconvenient for me to act. Secondly, I didn't want to frame you for being unfaithful. So, this son-in-law used the medicine rashly. Please forgive me."
Qin Huaiyuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. Father-in-law? Son-in-law? With the current situation of the two countries, how could the two families have such fate?
"This old man doesn't deserve it. Wang Ye, please be careful with your words. This old man's daughter is as pure as ice and as pure as jade. She has never been involved with anyone. What do you think of this old man's daughter by speaking like this? "
Pang Xiao wiped his sweat and said in his heart, "It's over. This time, I've offended my father-in-law. They are indeed father and daughter. When they are fierce, they are equally difficult to deal with."
"Father-in-law, please don't be angry. It's just that Sister Yi and I have already made a lifelong commitment. In this life, I will marry no one but her, and she will marry no one but me."
"Ridiculous. Where do you get the confidence that she will marry no one but you?" Qin Huaiyuan stood up angrily and flicked his sleeves. "If it were in the past, she might have been moved by your actions. But after she saw with her own eyes those people who swapped children for food and experienced hell, do you still expect her to still not care? My daughter is a human, not a saint! Where do you get the nerve to be so confident in yourself that you can do whatever you want?
