The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 291 – I Will Never Let Them Go

Chapter 291: I Will Never Let Them Go

The shopkeeper thought he was quite good at comforting people. He smiled kindly at Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao was not as timid as he thought. Moreover, at that moment, she was only thinking of her childhood.

There were many jade mines in Yunjing. Once, the jade mine collapsed and buried hundreds of people.

During that time, she did not dare to go out because after the jade mine collapsed, the dark energy was heavy. Besides the dead souls, the ghouls in the surrounding dozens of kilometers also lingered in that area.

Other than that, in the Taoist temple, there were also many commoners who went up the mountain to beg and cry to the gods.

When her body was especially weak, and she was still young, there was nothing she could do. She could only be affected by the dark energy and almost died.

There was another time, a few years later, she suddenly realized something was off with the constellation one night.

After careful divination, she found that there was a faint sign of the heavenly bow of the guardian. This sign gave her quite a scare. It showed that the world was in chaos, and soldiers were rising up. The commoners were scared and worried about the country. However, the constellation was not obvious yet, and there were still signs that could be changed.

At that time, although the barbarians were on the move, their momentum was not strong.

Later on, the barbarians suddenly made a big move, and the soldiers were unable to fight them in time, causing the city gates to fall.

If they waited for reinforcements, many people would probably die at the border. That was why she had written a letter to Xie Niushan, asking him to bring the bandits out of the mountain stronghold.

During those days, she was panicking.

That was because she could always see the dark clouds pressing down on her. To her, it was like the end of the world.

Of course, she was not asking her father to seek death.

Before making that decision, she had calculated carefully. To the Xie family, it was a great fortune. That was why she dared to ask them to take action.

Now that she heard what the shopkeeper said, although she was moved, she was not afraid.

Xie Qiao walked out of the shop and then took a carriage to the outside of the city.

She sat quietly in the carriage and watched carefully.

Perhaps it was because the terrain outside the city was a little more spacious, but it was indeed much colder. She wore a thick cloak and held a small hand warmer in her hand. She was shivering from the cold, and her small face was blue and the tip of her nose was slightly red.

On the outskirts of the city, there seemed to be a daily porridge supply. There were several porridge stalls, and on top of each stall, there was a flag with a family name written on it.

There were no cotton-padded clothes being distributed yet.

The cotton-padded clothes could be distributed very quickly, unlike the porridge stalls, which could stand there all the time with a signboard.

“Our children are out of luck. There are so many children, why isn’t it our turn yet? It’s said that every day, a bowl of meat will be distributed, and clothes will be given…” someone passed by Xie Qiao’s carriage and said.

“It’s said that we’re all human, but we have different fate. Isn’t it? “Your kid is also in his teens. Look at him, he’s as thin as a monkey, and look at that rich young lady… Sigh, her hands are like jade. They’re fair and tender, and the clothes on her are even smoother than our skin…”

“Young Lady Xia is kind. I heard that she came from the Royal Academy.”

“Yes, I also heard that the academy will hire people to repair the shed in the next two days. I hope that we can work there and make some money at least…”

” …”

Xie Qiao got it. That young lady was most likely Xia Yayun.

She probably picked children or teenagers out of the fifty people that she would help. After all, people at this age were usually more simple-minded and easier to coax.

Xie Qiao was not in a hurry to do good. She stayed here for the whole afternoon before returning home.

It was the same for the next few days. In the morning, she would learn in the academy. In the afternoon, she would come to the city gate to keep an eye on them.

“It was them. They took my clothes and food. I didn’t want to. They even beat me. After I crawled back to the shed, I suddenly vomited blood and died,” Sitting next to Xie Qiao was a dark and thin male ghoul, “It’s these evil people’s fault. I will never let them go!”
