"Open the door!"
At King Kang's command, the servants opened the heavy door of the mansion.
The huge crowds of people standing outside suddenly made King Kang's eyes a little dazzled.
There are more than a hundred or eighty people!
"I heard that you came to see me?"
King Kang raised his voice and asked with an expressionless face. The oppressive feeling emanating from his body made the people who were noisy just now afraid to speak.
Everyone looked at each other and knelt down to pay their respects to King Kang.
Then the middle-aged man in the lead spoke weakly.
"Your Majesty, we are here to see you. During this snowstorm, our families have survived the cold and starvation thanks to the food and clothing you sent us. We are still alive and well.
I saw that the snow had stopped and the sky had cleared up today, so I came to thank you!"
King Kang, who was trying hard to keep a straight face and look fierce and difficult to mess with, was stunned when he heard the middle-aged man's words out of the blue.
“???”
"Aren't you here to cause trouble?"
King Kang asked back in disbelief.
When the people heard King Kang's question, they guessed why he asked that.
"Your Majesty, we are not here to cause trouble. You have helped the people of our outer city out of your own pocket.
We are not ungrateful. We know who is good and who is bad, and we also know what is true and what is a rumor.
Regarding the rumors about your daughter, we can guarantee that we will not allow them to continue spreading in the outer city!
Although there are a few ungrateful people among the common people, Your Highness can rest assured that everyone will take good care of them.
I won’t let ungrateful people talk nonsense and do bad things!”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the other people followed suit in twos and threes.
"That's right! Don't worry, Your Highness! We common people are all grateful and repay our kindness!"
"Your Majesty, you saved our lives! Very few people in the outer city suffered casualties in this snowstorm!"
"Yes, the elders also said that if it weren't for the prince's kindness, not to mention the young people, many children and the elderly would have frozen to death during this year's snowstorm!"
"It was the prince who saved our lives! Thank you so much for your kindness!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
........
The people thanked him in unison, and the sound was so deafening that it shook the snow off the big trees nearby.
King Kang stared blankly at every grateful face in front of him, his throat feeling a little sore.
So this is what it feels like to be thanked by the people...
His original intention in doing this was that he didn't want his daughter to become the disaster star who brought the snow disaster in the eyes of everyone.
That's all.
Doing good deeds and sending cold-weather supplies to the people is all for my daughter.
He never thought that he would be thanked by the people.
Never thought about it.
King Kang pursed his lips, adjusted his mood, and smiled at everyone, "You're welcome, I'm glad everyone is okay!
Although the snow stopped today and the sky cleared up, we still don’t know if it will snow again in the future.
Everyone please be careful on the roads and at home, and clear the snow on the ground and on the roofs in a timely manner..."
As soon as King Kang opened his mouth, he couldn't help but nag a few more words of advice.
But the people were not impatient, but listened to King Kang's instructions with great emotion.
Not far away, at Prince An's Mansion, the servants quietly opened the door a crack and looked in the direction of Prince Kang's Mansion.
After watching for a while, the servant quietly closed the door and ran back to report to Prince An.
Prince An was still curled up on the couch holding the hot water bottle. He looked sick and his skin was abnormally pale.
However, after taking the medicine for two days, he looked much better than the previous two days.
"Your Highness, many people have come to the gate of Prince Kang's mansion to express their gratitude to Prince Kang!"
The servant recounted what he had seen.
Upon hearing this, Prince An coughed a few times and said, "It seems that the number of deaths among the people in the outer city in this snow disaster is not that high, otherwise they would not come to follow, cough cough cough, thank you to my third brother.
The emperor is really blessed by the third prince. If the third prince had not done these good deeds, many people would have been frozen to death in the snow disaster.
My father is an emperor, and this is a difficult situation to deal with.
My father is really, cough cough cough, really getting old and confused. No matter what the matter is, he would rather believe it than not!
He actually didn't believe the nightmare that the Third Emperor said! It's fine if he doesn't believe it, cough cough cough, he even laughed at the Third Emperor!
I can imagine, cough cough cough, how ugly father’s old face is!
He must be furious, cough cough cough......"
The guard Alin at the side helplessly reached out and patted Prince An on the back, signaling the servants to bring water.
"Your Highness, you're coughing so hard, stop talking and drink some water."
Prince An took a few sips of water from Alin's hand to moisten his throat.
His voice was still nasal and hoarse, "I feel much better now. When the snowstorm is completely over, my cold should be gone too.
Then I will go to Prince Kang’s Mansion to visit my little niece.
Ahem, A-Lin, how's your investigation going?"
Ah Lin was helpless. "Your Highness, although I am a highly skilled guard, I am also a human being. It has been snowing outside for two days, and I cannot go outside to investigate besides serving you."
Prince An: “…Oh, that’s right.”
"Then when the snow melts and stops snowing, remember to go investigate."
Prince An did not forget to give instructions to Alin.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please drink the medicine."
Prince An: “???”
"No, you're drinking medicine again? Didn't you just drink it?!"
"...Prince, you just drank it. It happened last night."
At the gate of Prince Kang’s Mansion.
King Kang talked for a long time before he realized that he was being too long-winded again.
He made a few final remarks and watched the people leave one after another.
When the father and his two sons returned home, Song Le'an gave his fourth brother a thumbs up.
"Fourth brother is amazing! He really came right!"
Song Zixuan curled the corners of his lips and smiled.
King Kang patted his fourth son's head with satisfaction, "It seems that Zixian's maturity is not a bad thing at all. When encountering problems, you are much calmer than your father. Not bad!
Xiaowu, learn from your fourth brother."
Song Le'an nodded vigorously, "Yes, Fourth Brother, do you still have your Buddhist beads? Why don't you give me one..."
When King Kang saw Xiaowu was pestering his fourth brother, he went back to Qingzhu Courtyard first.
"Your Highness! You're finally back! Where are Zixian and An'er? What did those people do to you?"
As soon as Ye Peizhu heard the noise outside, she hurriedly came up to Song Jiujiu, who was also worried, and asked him questions repeatedly.
"Ma'am, don't worry, we're fine. Don't come out. It's cold outside. You and your daughter should be careful not to catch a cold."
King Kang spoke loudly, and after the coldness in his body dissipated, he went into the inner room and told everyone what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Ye Peizhu and Song Jiujiu both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, the nightmare did not become real!"
