Chapter 325: The Deeply Affectionate Man in the Sweet and Sadistic Story 2 (13)

Changning understood. After returning to the palace, she mentioned the late queen to her father, which brought back his memories.

Seeing him like this, Changning quietly called his fourth brother and asked him to appear in front of his father.

The fourth brother is the legitimate son but his life is not very happy and his clothes are not the best, which naturally makes the emperor feel distressed.

The emperor kept the fourth prince by his side, watching him and thinking about making it up to him.

But I didn't expect that the second prince would feel jealous and wary.

Changning came to the Yanxi Palace and saw her mother taking medicine.

She took over the maid's job and fed medicine to her mother.

After taking the medicine, Concubine Shu waved her hand to let the maids go, and then she said, "Changning, what do you want to do? Why don't you want to get married?"

Ever since the accident with the third child, she has become a sickly woman.

I am spending the whole day with medicine and my mouth is full of the taste of medicine.

The Yanx Palace reeked of medicine, and the emperor was unwilling to come, so she fell out of favor.

"Mother, I want that position."

This was the first time Changning told anyone other than Zhou Hui about this matter. She wanted the throne.

Concubine Shu looked at Changning in shock and said angrily, "I think you are crazy. Since ancient times, no woman has ever been emperor."

Hearing this, Chang Ning was not angry, but smiled and said, "Since ancient times? Since ancient times, it has been right? Third brother fell off the horse, was there no conspiracy by the crown prince?"

"If I am not an emperor, I am just prey and a gift."

"Even if the emperor likes me, what does it matter? If it comes to marriage, I will be the first choice."

Over the years, Changning not only tried to make her father happy, she also practiced martial arts and read military books.

She knew that if she wanted to truly take power, she must have an army.

"Changning, just choose someone to marry! Jiang Shaohuai is not bad! How about you choose him?"

A tear fell from Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes, and she looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes.

Becoming an empress is definitely not an easy path, and she doesn't want Changning to die on this road.

"Mother, I want to try. If I fail, I will die."

Changning's eyes were determined. Since she had embarked on this path, she would either die or reach the top.

"You...you are really..."

Seeing her determination, Concubine Shu could only suppress her unhappiness and think about how to help her.

*

When a war broke out on the border, the ministers all stood up and proposed a marriage alliance to quell the conflict.

Chang Ning came in from outside the palace, raised his head and looked directly at his father, and said sarcastically: "The whole court, both civil and military officials, are thinking of selling their daughters to seek peace."

"Changning requests permission to go to the border, to share life and death with the border soldiers, and to guard the country's border."

Changning knelt down and begged for mercy, and her words were like a slap in the face of the minister who asked for peace.

Zhou Hui also stood up and supported what Changning said. He said, "Your Majesty, I support Princess Changning's request. This move will not only inspire the soldiers on the border, but also appease the people. After all, everyone in the world knows that Princess Changning is favored."

This war also appeared in the plot, but they were defeated, ceded three cities, and sent a princess over as a marriage.

But now that Zhou Hui is here, it is also a good opportunity for Changning to take control of the military power.

The second prince also stood up and supported this matter.

In his eyes, Changning was favored and reminded his father of the fourth brother, so he would go to the battlefield and die!

The second prince supported it, and the ministers who stood on the second prince's side also supported it.

*

Before leaving the capital, Zhou Hui gave Changning a jade pendant in the shape of a white jade flower.

"what is this?"

Changning looked at the jade pendant in confusion. What on earth was it?

"Token! You can use this token to call upon a hundred Dark Spirit Guards."

The Dark Spirit Guards are an army formed by Zhou Hui's resentment, and they only obey Zhou Hui and the token's orders.

"Dark Spirit Guard."

Changning lowered his head, looking at the token in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he became wary of Zhou Hui.

However, she is still a princess who is favored but has no power, and she cannot turn against Zhou Hui.

"Princess, I hope you can return triumphantly."

"Thank you!"

Changning turned and left. Although she had someone in her hands, he was still too weak compared to Zhou Hui.

Changning rode away on his horse. No matter how powerful Zhou Hui was, they were now partners.

We’ll talk about the future later.

Sisha appeared behind his master and said respectfully, "Master, are you not afraid that the princess will be wary of you?"

"Fear? Be on guard?"

Zhou Hui chuckled. He now had money, troops and information. If he wanted to become emperor, he would have rebelled long ago.

But he didn't want to.

Even if the job of emperor was offered to him, he would not want it.

"She won't. Especially after seeing how powerful the Dark Spirit Guards are, she would be even more afraid to do that."

"Let's go! We should go home. Xiaoman is waiting to eat crab cakes!"

Zhou Hui turned around and went back to the city, and took away the crab roe cake from Linyue Tower.

"Daddy."

Xiaoman was dancing with a sword. When she saw her father coming back with a food box, she put down her sword and ran to his side, opening her arms for him to hold her.

Zhou Hui handed the food box to Tianjiu, bent down and picked up Xiaoman, and said with a smile: "Xiaoman, are you good at home?"

"Xiao Man is very well behaved. He is also learning calligraphy and practicing martial arts. But mom is a little unhappy."

Xiaoman felt uncomfortable when she thought of herself wiping tears in the room, and her nose felt sore.

"Oh? Let's go see mom, okay?"

Zhou Hui was holding Xiao Man and preparing to go into the house. When he saw Ji Hao, he said, "Xiao Hao, uncle has something else to do. Can I ask Tian Shui to take you back?"

"Yes! Sister Xiaoman, I'm leaving first."

After Ji Hao bowed respectfully, he said something to Xiaoman and left.

"Brother Hao, goodbye!"

"Xiaoman, goodbye!"

*

They came to Shen Tang's room and saw her wiping tears.

Hua Chao and Meng Chun were trying to comfort her, their eyes filled with anxiety and anger.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Zhou Hui put his daughter down and saw her wiping her tears.

"Mom, why are you crying? Do you want to eat crab cakes?"

Xiaoman looked at her mother cutely, and her tears began to well up.

"Mom doesn't want to eat! You go out and play with Hua Chao first. Mom and Dad have something to talk about."

Shen Tang gently touched his daughter's head, his eyes kind and gentle.

"it is good!"

Xiaoman is a good girl. She knows her parents are busy and she can’t disturb them, so she can play with her sister Huachao.

After Hua Chao and Xiao Man left, Shen Tang handed the letter in her hand to her husband and said with a sob, "Take a look!"

Zhou Hui took the letter and read it carefully.

He couldn't help but clench his fingers, leaving fingerprints on the letter paper.

"These people are simply beasts. They left the children here to be torn apart by wild beasts."

Shen Tang was very angry. In the county town near the mountains in the south of the city, there was a tower for abandoned babies.

All seriously ill children are sent here.

Some people even sent their newborn daughters here, where they starved to death.

"The people in the county government don't care?"

Zhou Hui asked doubtfully, doesn't the county magistrate care?

"Manage? How can we manage? The emperor is far away. If the county magistrate doesn't report it, how can the court know about it?"

If Mu Qi hadn't gone there to investigate, he probably wouldn't have known about this.

Zhou Hui looked at the letter in his hand and whispered, "I do have a way to temporarily solve this problem."

Temporary solution.

It's not eradication, this kind of thing is difficult to eradicate.

Even in modern times with surveillance, children are still abandoned.

What's more, it is a remote and impoverished county town. They mainly rely on farming for a living. They can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they raise children?

However, the idea of ​​continuing the family line is deeply rooted in their souls, and they would give birth to sons even if they don't have enough to eat.

But how can one be sure about having a son or a daughter?

"What can we do? Just don't abandon them. Those children have suffered too much. They are abandoned at birth and wait for death."

Although Shen Tang is a girl, women in Jiangcheng have a high status, so she has never been abused even though she is a girl.

Later, she went to Yangcheng and witnessed the sufferings of women, not just the suffering of childbirth.

Names like Zhaodi, Laidi, Paner, Pannan, etc.

"Send someone to smuggle out those lost children."

"But this also has its downsides. If they know their child has been taken away, they might lose him even more."

If the children from the orphanage were taken away, it would only embolden them.

"What should we do? Should we just watch these children being fed to wild beasts? If you don't like them, you can give them away instead of feeding them to wild beasts."

Shen Tang's tears fell. Are these people's hearts made of stone?

That's a life, a living person.

"I'll let Sisha take care of it, don't worry."

"If you are really suffering, go to the Salesian Home and maybe you can help."

Zhou Hui handed Changning's letter to Shen Tang, and there was no indignation on his face.

Having traveled through so many worlds, he has seen too many things like this.

He once helped these people by opening girls' schools and technical workshops to provide women with a way out.

At that time, he wrote three letters in succession for this matter before he obtained the emperor's permission.

At that time, this law was only implemented within his sphere of influence.

"Princess Changning's handwritten letter. Didn't she...didn't she go to the border?"

Shen Tang admired Changning very much. Although she was a woman, she was braver and more courageous than men.

"Okay. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

"The Emperor will not blame us for establishing a salesman's home, especially when it is led by Princess Changning."

With the establishment of the Salesian Home, there are fewer beggars in the world.

It also proves that the emperor is a wise ruler who governs the country in a proper way.

Shen Tang looked down at the handwriting in her hand, and she felt a little moved.

After all, she is not short of money and can help these people.

*

Zhou Hui returned to his study and gave the letter to Si Sha.

After Sisha looked at it, he whispered, "Such things do exist. Not only in this place, but also in many remote areas."

In fact, Si Sha was not surprised, as many of his secret guards came from such families.

They were abandoned by their relatives, sold or drowned.

Why is there such a situation?

In addition to the preference for boys over girls, it is also because the people are poor and cannot afford to raise children.

Therefore, they prefer to keep the boy.

"Yes. I understand. So, I plan to let you lead the Dark Spirit Guards to deal with these people."

"Since they can't control their private parts, they should be punished."

Zhou Hui knew clearly that if these abandoned babies were taken away, it would definitely attract the attention of the villagers.

By then, I am afraid that the villagers will become even more reckless and abandon their children at will.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Si Sha looked up at Zhou Hui, a faint light flashed in his eyes. He understood what his master meant.

"In the end, we should send the children to the dark camp and then deal with those who abandoned them."

In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. Now that the people can't raise their children and can't control their lower bodies, they can only... perform manual sterilization.

"Yes!"

Si Sha took the order and left, he knew what his master meant.

*

In a remote mountainous area, a thirty-year-old woman placed her baby girl in the tower and left in tears.

"Child, don't blame your mother. If you want to blame someone, blame it on you being a girl. If you want to blame someone, blame it on this cannibalistic world. Our family is too poor. I can't afford to raise you."

The woman took two steps and turned back.

Looking at the sleeping baby in the tower, her tears fell.

She stretched out her hand to touch the child, but finally turned around and ran away quickly.

When she reached halfway up the mountain, she turned back and took the child back.

"Child, I will take you back home and will not feed you to wild beasts."

The woman took the child back home. She couldn't bear to abandon the child.

She returned home with the child in her arms. The man at home saw the child in her arms and angrily asked, "Didn't I tell you to go and throw the child away? Why are you back?"

"Master, she is only three days old. I can't bear to let her go."

The woman held the child and started crying. It was her fault that she failed to give birth to a boy.

The man snatched the child from her hands and tried to walk out with the child in his arms.

The woman hurriedly chased after him, saying excitedly, "No! Don't throw my child away!"

At this time, a fierce-looking old woman came out.

She pulled the woman back and angrily scolded her, "Why are you crying? You're just a little girl!"

"If we weren't so far from town and he wasn't a baby, I would have bought him long ago."

"Bah! That little girl is taking up my grandson's place. My grandson won't even come to our house."

"It's because your stomach is not holding up, otherwise you wouldn't have given birth to a little girl."

"I'm telling you, if you can't give birth to a son next time you get pregnant, I'll sell you and use the money to find someone to give birth to a grandson."

As she spoke, the old woman slapped her twice, and the woman's face became red and swollen.

She wanted to go out to find her daughter, but was forcibly taken away by the old woman.

*

The next day, shrill cries were heard in the village.

The man who threw the child away yesterday had his penis chopped off overnight and became a eunuch since then.

"Dayong is so pitiful. He hasn't even given birth to a son yet! He has already become a eunuch."

"Yeah! How pitiful! You won't be a man anymore from now on."

People who heard the cry came to Dayong's house, and they saw Dayong's descendants being fed to vultures.

Vultures? The villagers were puzzled. How could there be vultures?

【Zhao Dayong abandoned his own offspring and did not raise them, which angered the Goddess of Childbirth and she sentenced him to castration. From now on, anyone who abandons or abuses children will be punished by the Goddess of Childbirth.】

The vulture spoke in human language, spread its wings and flew away, completely uncaring about how panicked the people were.

The people present were all stunned. They could not believe their eyes. What did this mean?
