TVSWWD - Chapter 108 - Food Rations

 He thought that A'yun's previous thoughts were based on the thought that something would happen to Hua Yan, his nominal father. After all, she was raised in a noble family, so how could she really endure hardship?

Even if she did sneak out, there would be no royal chef to prepare meals for her outside, so she might not be able to survive a full meal.

Unfortunately, the current Murong Yun is no longer the original owner. She nodded obediently to the Emperor: "Thank you, Uncle. Then A'yun will go back home first."

"Go, go, little Ling, you take A'yun out of the palace."

Seeing that Murong Yun was no longer making trouble, the Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Eunuch Ling to send her off.

Murong Yun stepped back and turned around, reaching out to put on the cap of her cloak. There was already determination in her lowered eyes. 

Eunuch Ling knew that Murong Yun was always surrounded by Luan guards, so he stopped sending her off.

Murong Yun sat on the sedan chair and changed into her own carriage when she arrived at the palace gate, while Xiao Cui was waiting for her in the carriage.

"Xiao Cui, tomorrow, send someone to the Crafting Department to see if my bone staff is ready."

Murong Yun ordered, thinking that there were uncertainties in this trip. If there was no bone staff, she could not guarantee that if the plot was changed, the troublesome Heavenly Way would not hack her to death.

"Yes......"

Xiao Cui carefully observed Murong Yun's expression and rolled her eyes. She naturally knew the purpose of the princess's visit to the palace overnight to see the Emperor.

Just looking at the princess's face, is it successful or not?

After thinking about it, Xiao Cui finally asked: "Princess, what about the army provisions?"

Murong Yun was thinking with her eyes closed that it was useless for her to go alone. What Hua Yan needed was food or soldiers.

There is no harm in Xiao Cui's question, and she opens her eyes. In the plot of the original book, the original owner plus this Xiao Cui are complete villains, but the relationship between master and servant is also real.

Because in the end, Xiaocui fought tooth and nail to divert the pursuers away to allow the original owner to run away, which was praised by several readers.

To put it bluntly, she is really loyal.

Murong Yun still remembers that comment.

But now that she is in it, she naturally knows that whether it is the original owner, Xiao Cui, the cannon fodder mentioned in the book, or Baili Shuangxue and Li Su in the center of the world.

They have all become living human beings from the characters in the book. Although the plot is still ruthless, the world has given them humanity.

And Xiaocui also exists. Although she is a small person, she is also flesh and blood.

Because she can always feel the loyalty and care of the other party.

Therefore, she didn't want to hide anything from her, so she directly stated her plan: "Uncle said that there is currently no food and needs to be prepared, and reinforcements also need to be dispatched."

"But this princess is worried and wants to go to Liao province to see for herself." When Xiao Cui heard the bad news, she was stunned for a second and immediately hugged Murong Yun's thigh on the carriage, her little face full of pleading. 

"No, Princess, that place is not for people to go to. You might die if you go there."

Xiao Cui felt miserable at this moment. She would rather serve the original master who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun, and spend money on dressing up to compete with other noble ladies from time to time, rather than serve the current master who has been doing all sorts of desperate and confusing things on a whim these past three days. 

Murong Yun looked down at the loyal little maid, feeling inexplicably that she was worried that her good-for-nothing master would die directly in that chaos.

She gently picked up the other person and pressed her down gently, feeling a little tired: "Don't worry, I am only going to take Luan Yi with me. You can still enjoy the hot food in Liujing."

Hearing this, Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time shook her head firmly: "County Princess, don't go either. I heard that people there are so hungry that they eat grass. Princess, how can you eat grass with your golden branches and jade leaves?"

The corner of Murong Yun's mouth twitched. Should she tell the other party that in the plot of the book, Hua Yan never got food provisions, and the people there rioted, and later they started cannibalism!

Because the grass and tree roots and bark were all eaten up after being pulled...

"So, when I go there, I will bring some food with me. When I return, I have to ask Yunjin to arrange the transportation of the food that can be moved by the shopkeepers."

Although Murong Yun thought so, she was still worried. Liujing was not close to Liao Province. It would take a month just to get there.

The mountains are high and the water is long, and there are not enough guards on the road. The food may be robbed halfway.

The Emperor also estimated this and the consumption problem, so he was unable to gather enough grains and food.

What she is doing is a drop in the bucket, but it is better than nothing.

Seeing that Murong Yun had made up her mind, Xiao Cui started to worry about herself. When she arrived at the Princess Mansion and Murong Yun got out of the carriage she murmured:

"Then, Xiao Cui will go with the princess. Xiao Cui will definitely pull the freshest grass for the princess to eat!"

"......"

Murong Yun was embarrassed when she heard this. She was not moved at all, but thought about whether she should let Li Yunjin take care of this baby for a while. After all, with her own wisdom, she won't be infected by Xiao Cui's foolishness.

"No need, just stay in the house. Also, I really won't go there to eat grass."

Murong Yun thought for a while, but she still couldn't let Xiao Cui continue to think like this.

Because Murong Yun traveled secretly, the carriage entered the house through the back door. Li Yunjin, who had been waiting for Murong Yun for a long time, held a lantern and just reached out to help Murong Yun get out of the car when she heard Xiao Cui's heroic words... 

"What are you talking about, Xiao Cui? How could the princess eat grass?"

Li Yunjin had a look of astonishment on her face. After working together these days, she also understood Xiao Cui's IQ to some extent.

"Sister Yunjin, please persuade the princess quickly, she..."

When Xiao Cui saw Li Yunjin, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She quickly clung to her and told Murong Yun's plan. The two of them followed Murong Yun.

From Xiao Cui's repeated nonsense, Li Yunjin finally understood Murong Yun's plan.

After entering the house, Xiao Cui complained, but she did not forget to step forward to help Murong Yun take off her cloak, and did not delay anything while working.

Li Yunjin brought hot tea and snacks to Murong Yun.

It must be said that Murong Yun was extremely comfortable with this treatment. She half-slumped on the armchair and took a sip of tea.

Then she opened her mouth and looked at Li Yunjin: "How much food can be displaced with the financial resources of the princess's mansion?"
