Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 88 Celestial Envoy

In the end, Mu Yuhe had someone carry the injured Mu Yulin over.

A dozen or so court officials had originally come to the palace to demand an explanation, but upon seeing the old emperor's coffin, they all pretended to be heartbroken and wept uncontrollably.

They were unaware that the palace was now poorer than they were, having nothing left but these immovable palaces.

After Mu Yuhe and Mu Yulin dismissed the officials who had originally intended to file a complaint, they began to deal with the theft within the palace.

The report took half an hour to arrive, revealing that almost everything, large and small, including the national treasury, the imperial study, the imperial kitchen, the imperial hospital, and the courtyards of various palaces, had been robbed.

Even the courtyards where the servants and maids lived were all burglarized.

Apart from the latrine, there was nothing left in the restroom.

Wait, there's more. At this moment, the palace where Mu Yuhe was located had not been stolen.

Enraged, Mu Yuhe swept the teacup off the table and onto the floor. Overwhelmed with rage, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Su Yue saw all of this clearly and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "So that's it? You little brat, trying to outsmart your grandma."

While the others carried Mu Yuhe away to rest, Su Yue opened the door to the secret room and swaggered out.

Because she had forgotten about one place she hadn't yet raided.

Of course, it's Mu Yuhe's residence.

Su Yue used her lightness skill to fly out of the palace and headed straight for the Second Prince's residence.

She didn't disturb anyone; she simply walked around the mansion and emptied all the items inside.

An old woman was cooking, stirring the soup in the pot with her spoon, when she realized the pot was gone. She looked around, and when she turned her head back, the spoon in her hand had also vanished.

The old woman cooking was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and screamed, drawing the attention of everyone around her who was chopping vegetables, tending the fire, kneading dough, and washing vegetables.

Then they all witnessed the most terrifying scene of their lives.

The kitchen items disappeared little by little, until finally even the cleaver they were using to chop vegetables, the firewood for the fire, the half-kneaded dough, and the washed vegetables all vanished.

The group of people were terrified; their faces turned pale, their limbs went limp, and they fell unconscious.

Su Yue was completely unaware that she was happily collecting these things.

Finally, she did the same thing to the Fourth Prince's residence and ransacked it as well.

She'd had her fill of the palace tour; since it wasn't snowing yet, she'd better head back early. She wondered if Dali was missing her.

Su Yue flew directly to the city wall, knocked out more than a dozen soldiers, and planned to fly down from the city wall.

But the scene before him made him feel sorry for the animals.

Having already witnessed the scene of corpses strewn across the land, one should have become numb long ago.

This year's snowfall is exceptionally heavy, and it seems to be nationwide. Coupled with drought and floods, refugees are fleeing everywhere, and many people have already died. Just look at how much snow has been falling for more than ten days; you can tell how many of the refugees can still survive.

The area beneath the city wall was a noisy, chaotic mass of people huddled together. Many refugees were dressed in rags, yet they dared not approach the heavy thorny fence.

These refugees pleaded and cried out, wanting to enter the city, but were blocked by tall, barbed iron fences. In the end, they could only huddle together for warmth and quench their thirst by picking at the clean snow on the ground.

Su Yue also saw many people lying in the snow around her, their chests no longer rising and falling. Many more were sitting stiffly on the ground, their clothes thin, their faces purple from the cold, and even their eyebrows and hair were covered with a thick layer of frost.

In this sub-zero weather, these refugees suffered hunger and cold in the cold wind, waiting for their body heat to slowly evaporate, and eventually they froze to death.

Those who froze to death were not completely free; their bodies were used by some people to feed themselves.

Su Yue listened to those people pleading with the guards on the city wall.

"My lord, please, open the city gates!"

"Please, please give me some food..."

"Please, please let us in! My child is freezing to death, please, please open the door..."

"..."

The refugees had long since run out of tears; their hands, feet, and faces were covered in frostbite, red, swollen, and festering sores.

Their bodies were thin and frail, and they pleaded desperately in the freezing cold for those who thought they could be accepted.

Su Yue didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She felt that human life was so insignificant at this moment, and there were starving corpses everywhere.

Meanwhile, the officials in the city who claimed to be doing what was best for the people, and the princes who only knew how to fight for power and profit, lived in warm houses and ate delicacies.

It was an indescribable luxury.

Su Yue used her mental energy to quickly categorize the items she had brought in that day within her spatial dimension.

All the clothes and blankets that other people had worn or used were gathered up.

Except for those reserved for royalty, everything else was piled up in the space, forming a small mountain.

Su Yue changed into a plain white dress, covered the lower half of her face with a handkerchief, and sat cross-legged on a snow-white rabbit fur cushion.

Su Yue used her mental power to support herself in the space, and then slowly moved above the refugees. With everything covered in white, she really looked like a goddess descending to earth from afar.

A hint of compassion appeared on Su Yue's elegant face, which was as delicate as an orchid. She slowly spoke, "I am the Jade Purity Immortal Envoy from Heaven. I happened to pass by this mortal realm and could not bear to see the suffering of all living beings. My heart was filled with compassion, so I bestowed this small blessing, hoping to alleviate your predicament a little."

With that, she gently waved her snow-white sleeve, and in an instant, pieces of clothing and bags of grain fell from the void.

To these refugees, these were their lives!

Those refugees who were on the verge of despair now stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

When they came to their senses, their eyes shone with gratitude and awe.

Looking at the hopeful faces below, Su Yue felt a surge of inexplicable satisfaction.

Then, she used her mental power to steadily lift herself up and fly into the distance, her figure becoming increasingly blurred until it completely disappeared at the edge of the sky.

The refugees clutched the soft, delicate clothes in their hands and touched the bags of grain, their hearts filled with indescribable emotion.

They all knelt down in the direction Su Yue had left, ignoring the cold ground and the fact that it was cold to the touch. They prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed heavily, their heartfelt thanks echoing across the land for a long time...

Among this group of refugees were a few capable individuals. They sorted out their clothes and gathered all their food together, having someone guard it to prevent it from being stolen.

Calculate how many people are still alive and ration food accordingly.

Su Yue didn't leave. She flew back to the city wall. If she left like this, she would have endless troubles to deal with if either Mu Yuhe or Mu Yulin became emperor.

Even if you have to leave, you should nip the trouble in the bud.
