Nangong Jiu explained calmly.
“The capital can only get about five million catties, and the rest will be distributed to other cities.
First, find a place for us to get the food out, and then find reliable people to distribute the food to the people.
Although the food is not much, it is our thoughtful gift, and I don’t want anything to go wrong.”
Zhao Zhengxiong stood up and saluted to several people.
"My dear friends, I promise you that I will do this seriously!"
After he finished speaking, he said to the eunuch, "Go, tell the Minister of Revenue to come to the Imperial Study immediately."
After an incense stick of time, the Minister of Revenue hurriedly followed the eunuch into the imperial study. After saluting Zhao Zhengxiong, he saluted Nangong Jiu.
Zhao Zhengxiong stared at the Minister of Revenue with a serious face.
"You will personally supervise the distribution of grain to the people. You must ensure that all grain reaches every household. If there is even the slightest mistake, you will be beheaded."
"I will do my best to make this happen and live up to the princess's kindness!"
Xiao Wang and his companions followed the Minister of Revenue away, while Taoist Qingchen stayed with Nangong Jiu and waited in the imperial study.
Zhao Zhengxiong took the initiative to bring up the matter of abdication.
"I have done something wrong and have lost the support of the people. Rather than continue to drag down Beiyue, it is better to abdicate as soon as possible and let the crown prince become the emperor.
The prince is kind and capable of both civil and military affairs. Although he enjoys playing, he cares about the people and should be a good king."
Nangong Jiu waved her little hand.
"We have no right to interfere in your national affairs. But as for the plague, I hope your method will be effective."
At this time, Zhao Chenyu, who had received the news, hurried to the imperial study.
He bowed solemnly to Nangong Jiuxing.
"The princess is so kindhearted. Not only did she travel thousands of miles to treat us, she also bought so much food to help the people. On behalf of the people of Beiyue, Chenyu bows to thank the princess for her great kindness!"
Nangong Jiulue was a little surprised by the humble attitude, and he hurriedly helped the man up.
"Please stand up, Prince! The people of the world are all one family. We are only doing our little bit to help the people. You don't have to be so polite."
Zhao Chenyu looked at Nangong Jiu with admiration.
"Chenyu sees how many people are following the princess. I wonder if Chenyu is lucky enough to be with the princess? Chenyu is willing to serve the princess at her beck and call."
"Your Highness is joking. You will soon be the ruler of a country!" Nangong Jiu refused with a smile.
Zhao Zhengxiong's eyes lit up.
"If my foolish son can catch the princess's eye, I will be happy to see it happen."
Nangong Jiu smiled and explained, "We got together temporarily. After the plague is over, I will return to Dongling and be my mother's good child."
Do this father and son think I'm a fool?
When Zhao Chenyu heard this, he knew there was no hope. He put away the disappointment in his eyes and praised with a smile: "Princess, you are a person with great love. Your father is so lucky!"
Not long after, Xiao Wang and his friends came back.
Nangong Jiu stood up and reminded again: "If you find anything, send someone to inform me as soon as possible."
Without waiting for Zhao Zhengxiong and his son to answer, he disappeared with a few people.
Not long after walking, he said to Xiao Wang, "Go back in stealth. I want to see what tricks they are up to."
Several people returned to the imperial study quietly.
At this time, Zhao Zhengxiong was saying to Zhao Chenyu, "You have a sharp mind. If you could stay with her, our Beiyue would rise. It's a pity that she refused."
However, it is normal for her to refuse. Everyone around her has supernatural powers and is no ordinary person.
You must try your best to have a good relationship with her. It will only benefit you and Beiyue.
Remember, don't play any tricks in front of Dong Ling or her. Father's lesson is already bloody and clear before us."
Zhao Chenyu sighed: "Father, I really want to practice with her, and I'm not very interested in being the emperor."
"Do you think everyone has that kind of wisdom and that everyone can practice? You are the Crown Prince of Beiyue, and you bear the heavy responsibility of Beiyue.
If she is willing to take you in, that's another matter, but she refused and said she wants to go back and be a good child. You'd better wake up.
You should think about how to solve the current situation and be more realistic."
"Father, Master Huiyuan is from Beiyue. I will ask him to intercede for me. Even if it doesn't work, at least for Master Huiyuan's sake, she will be on good terms with me."
Nangong Jiu, who was in the dark, winked at Master Huiyuan mischievously, and the group left the palace.
Xiaoxing teased Master Huiyuan: "Why don't you really speak up for him?"
Master Huiyuan said cheerfully, "Huiyuan also wants to find someone to plead for him. Please, Master Jiu, accept Huiyuan."
A few of them returned to the inn jokingly.
When he saw the bed, Nangong Jiu couldn't stop yawning.
"Jiu Jun, if you're tired, take a nap. You can deliver the food tomorrow morning."
"Well, I really need to sleep for a while. I'm so sleepy." Nangong Jiu fell asleep.
Nangong Jiu and a few others spent the next two days quietly delivering food and understanding the people's sentiments.
Zhao Zhengxiong's people never gained anything.
The people in various places no longer suffered from the plague, the number of pedestrians on the streets began to increase, and shops along the streets opened for business one after another.
While Nangong Jiu was relieved, his heart began to beat fast. An inexplicable uneasiness was quietly growing in his heart.
That night.
Perhaps it was because one dreams at night what he thought about during the day, Nangong Jiu dreamed of the plague in the past again.
In her dream, she looked at the piles of corpses of civilians and cried inconsolably.
The sobbing sound alarmed Taoist Qingchen.
Taoist Qingchen patted the little guy gently to comfort him.
"Jiujun is dreaming again. Don't be afraid. It's okay..."
After waking up, Nangong Jiu no longer tried to be stubborn. He wiped his tears and looked up at the sky and said, "Heaven, I wanted to find the source of the disease with my own ability.
But I haven't made any progress, and I don't want to see people suffer anymore. Please help me."
Not long after, Nangong Jiu fell into a drowsy sleep under the comfort of Taoist Qingchen.
Not long after he fell asleep, a voice sounded in Nangong Jiu's mind.
"Little girl, you have done a great job on the plague. To reward you, I will give you some pointers.
There is an independent courtyard at the end of Tingyu Lane. Go and take a look. There you will find the answers you seek."
As soon as the sun rose, Nangong Jiu woke up and sat up suddenly.
Pulling his hands through his messy hair, he said, "Qingchen, the Heavenly Dao sent me a dream! Tingyu Alley! Quick, let's go to Tingyu Alley!"
Wuwang hurried forward to help her wash and dress.
Taoist Qingchen brought some porridge and said, "Jiujun, fill your stomach first, then we can go."
"No, hurry up, find the source of the disease sooner, and feel relieved sooner!"
The group hurried out, asking questions as they walked.
In order to speed up, Wuwang carried Nangong Jiu in his arms and walked away. After half an hour, they finally found the remote Tingyu Lane.
"Hurry, to the independent courtyard at the end!"
Several people rushed straight into the courtyard.
The gate of the courtyard was ajar. After calling a few times and hearing no one answer, he went in decisively.
However, after searching the entire courtyard, no one was found.
The careful Wuwang came out of the kitchen.
"Master, the person must have left not long ago. The water in the pot is still hot."
Nangong Jiu nodded: "Everyone, search carefully. We must find the source of the disease that is causing this problem..."
