Chapter 1604 Starving
But Yun Dai didn't want to reveal her identity to the Zhou soldiers outside.
She thought about returning the same way and digging into the tunnel, but she received news from Wei Jintai that the tunnel had collapsed and was completely destroyed.
Now, the road out was completely blocked.
To get out, the only way is to take the city gate.
Baoxing was a little anxious and asked Wei Jintai to think of something.
At this time, several incidents of refugee robbery had occurred in the city.
Fortunately, they were suppressed in time by Xiao Ziye's army.
But continuing like this is not the way to go.
Not to mention the people, even the food in the palace became nervous.
On the third day of Yun Dai's arrival, there was almost no meat in the palace and very few vegetables. You can only eat rice, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables that have been stored for a long time.
Of course there is no shortage of money in the palace, but the problem is that if you have money now, there is nowhere to buy it.
The fish, meat, fruits and vegetables in the imperial kitchen are freshly transported to the palace from outside every day, and there is not much storage.
It’s not easy to persist until now.
This was even after many palace officials were dismissed.
Yun Dai didn't feel anything, but Xiao Ziye felt guilty, especially guilty.
He always frowned and looked sad: "It's hard for my sister to come here, but she can't have a good meal. This is the only thing for each meal."
There are porridge, steamed buns, and some pickles on the table.
Although simple, the quantity is sufficient.
She knew in her heart that Xiao Ziye saved his own portion and gave it to her.
Yun Dai only took one steamed bun and said with a smile: "I have a small appetite and can't eat anything. Brother, sister-in-law, you two eat with me."
"We have all eaten." Xiao Ziye smiled and said, "Sister, eat."
Yun Dai clearly saw her sister-in-law swallow her saliva.
She felt a little sour.
The majestic Crown Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
I can't even eat steamed buns or porridge.
She stood up, held back her sourness, and said with a smile: "The scenery in this palace is very beautiful. I'll go for a walk."
"younger sister……"
"Brother, I'll be back in a minute."
Yun Dai looked back and smiled, took a bite of the steamed bun, and walked out briskly.
She summoned Wei Jintai and others and asked them to take out all the meat they had brought with them.
When leaving Shiquan Town, Ji Wenyuan prepared a lot of cooked beef for them. They were all hard, and Yun Dai didn't like eating them, but she couldn't bear to throw them away, so she kept asking everyone to carry them.
Except for cooking it for the Xiaoyu siblings, the rest are still there.
Wei Jintai collected two full bags and gave them to Baoxing.
Yun Dai asked him: "Artai, do you still have enough dry food these days?"
"It can last for three or four days. I'm afraid it won't work after that."
"Three or four days..." Yun Dai pondered, "Let's think of a solution. I'll take the meat first."
She and Baoxing returned to the Northern Qi Palace with the meat, shocking many people.
Especially the two remaining royal chefs even had red eyes.
They are the royal chefs, but they have almost forgotten what meat tastes like.
"Take the meat and make more flavors so that everyone can be full." Yun Dai instructed.
When a large plate of beef was brought to Xiao Ziye, he looked at his sister's little face and his eyes turned red on the spot.
Yun Dai didn't want to hug him and cry because of a little meat.
She hurriedly changed the subject: "Brother, let's talk while eating. My father has passed away. It's time for you to ascend the throne and inherit the throne, right?"
Xiao Ziye shook his head: "In this current situation, it makes no difference whether he ascends the throne or not."
"Is this a stalemate? The Zhou army outside can have supplies, but the people in the city are starving to death."
"Don't worry, sister, I never wanted to sit back and wait for death." Xiao Ziye picked up a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth, biting it hard, "Tonight is the time to break through."
I feel very complicated today... I'm really sorry, I'll make up for it during the day tomorrow.
