But she had no choice.

Feng Jinghuang closed her eyes, “I am tired.”

Feng Qianjue made a salute, then turned to leave without hesitation.

The riots grew worse and worse, yet no one was able to come up with a workable solution.

Or, the one who can offer a solution was unwilling to do so.

Finally Feng Jinghuang had to compromise and went to look for Su Bei.

She felt that whether Su Bei had already anticipated this and was waiting to see her joke.

But when she arrived, Su Bei just finished eating.

Seeing her, Su Bei said lightly, “My greetings.”

Although Feng Jinghuang felt mad, she didn’t show it.

She pretended to be concerned about Su Bei, “I heard that you are not feeling well recently and haven’t attended the court for a long time. So I specially come to check on you.”

Su Bei thought for a moment and said, “Can’t your Majesty see that I was absent? Why say you heard about it?”

Feng Jinghuang’s face went slightly stiff.

She took a deep breath and said, “I am very concerned about Lord Su. I wonder if you are feeling any better now.”

Su Bei replied, “No.”

Feng Jinghuang said, “Where are you feeling uncomfortable. How about invite an imperial doctor for you?”

Su Bei refused, “I won’t die.”

Feng Jinghuang almost cracked her fingernails, and then said her really purpose for coming to see him, “I don’t know if you have heard about the refugee riots.”

Su Bei just lied through his teeth, “No.”

Feng Jinghuang was shocked by Su Bei’s not playing by the rules. So she could only continue, “Do you have any better solution?”

Su Bei pondered a little and said, “What kind of solution does Your Majesty want?”

Feng Jinghuang asked, “What do you mean?”

Su Bei said, “Literally, does Your Majesty want to solve the riots or the refugees?”

Feng Jinghuang said without hesitation, “The refugees!”

Su Bei smiled, “that is easy, kill them all.”

Feng Jinghuang squeezed out a smile, “I’m afraid it’d cause public indignation.”

Su Bei replied, “But keeping giving them food will only make them feel that the court is weak and deceptable.”

Feng Jinghuang said with uncertainty, “Are you sure it’s feasible?”

Su Bei seemed to think of something, “A saying, destroy the leader and the gang will collapse.”

Feng Jinghuang asked, “How should I deal with these refugees then?”

Su Bei said a lot of places in succession, and then said, “They have been out of repair over so many years, need to be repaired.”

Feng Jinghuang was not silly, so she instantly understood what Su Bei was implying.

Under the name of repairing those places to hire those refugees and let them have a job with a pay.

But Feng Jinghuang was still a bit worried, “the number of refugees is huge, and more on the way here.”

Su Bei said inexplicitly, “because Your Majesty is too generous.”

Feng Jinghuang knew Su Bei was mocking her.

Only feeling that as the emperor, she dare not say anything after being mocked, instead, she had to beg the other side to lend her a hand.

She took a deep breath and squeezed those words through her teeth, “So there are so many refugees, and you still think your method is feasible?”

Su Bei said casually, “The superfluous ones, drive them to the east.”

Feng Jinghuang kind of regretted now. Why would she come to ask his advice?

She got up and said, “Sorry to bother you. I should go.”
