"His Majesty sent them directly to training. After they came back, they have been following me for many years. Wang Yu usually stays by my side on standby. Leng Han is good at making medicine, but he will take turns with Wang Yu."
“I sent Shui Mei to the Star-Picking Tower. Lie Yan, who knows some Gu poison techniques, volunteered to go to the northern border. Hei Ling is in Qi, and Bai Teng is in Zhao.”
Li Xiaochen patiently explained his subordinates to him.
Lin Yuxin understood after hearing this and nodded.
[I didn't expect Li Xiaochen to have so many capable people around him. But it seems the book says that after Li Xiaochen's death, the Three Kingdoms were indeed in turmoil, but it didn't cause much of a stir. I guess it was just that Wang Yu and his group wanted revenge but failed.]
However, this time, Li Xiaochen's health has improved significantly. With her around, the events described in the book shouldn't happen.
A glimmer of light instantly appeared in Li Xiaochen's eyes as he looked tenderly at Lin Yuxin. His Yuxin was thinking of him!
"Alright, it's still early. I need to distribute the things they brought today. I'll be busy again tomorrow."
Lin Yuxin came to her senses and said to Li Xiaochen.
"Okay, take care of yourself. If there's anything you can't handle, just tell me."
Li Xiaochen nodded, knowing that now was not the time for romance. He then told Lin Yuxin and got up to go out and take care of his business.
As the regent, he had many things to deal with, including the protection of the northern city, security issues, the fate of the people, the situation and number of disaster victims, and the current disaster situation in the northern city.
Some time ago, he was on an inspection tour and he discovered a lot of problems that needed to be addressed and reported to the Emperor.
I was busy looking for Yuxin yesterday, and I've been busy ever since I got back.
Now he has to go and take care of his official duties.
When Li Xiaochen brought Wang Yu back to his room, he saw Shui Mei standing at the door waiting for him.
Li Xiaochen ignored him and went inside.
Shui Mei didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she said seriously:
"Your Highness, Consort Xiao has returned to the palace!"
Li Xiaochen finally looked up at him, his brows furrowed, and asked:
"Why did she come back?"
"He probably found out his son was penniless and came back to back him up!"
Wang Yu could only think of this possibility.
"Keep an eye on her and see what she's going to do."
Li Xiaochen thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Wang Yu responded.
...
After Li Xiaochen left, Lin Yuxin, along with Xueying and Dandao, led a group of people to take stock of the things they had brought from the capital.
The delivery included grains, seeds, and medicinal herbs, which greatly surprised Lin Yuxin.
Previously, the medicinal herbs she used were all grown in her space, which she lied about as being picked from the mountains, and were given to the people. Fortunately, they were all common medicines for colds and heatstroke.
The temperature in the northern part of the city is too high. If Lin Yuxin didn't have a spatial ability and spend every night working in it, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand it long ago.
Xiao Hao has been drinking the fairy dew water she mixed frequently during this period, which has improved his physical condition a lot, and he can still tolerate this amount of calories.
By the time the supplies were inventoried, it was already evening. My second brother and fourth uncle had all rested and got up.
Zhao Yi and Zhao Er also returned. Zhao Er was in the prefectural city, so he came back after distributing the grain.
Zhao Yi was quite far away. He and several adults and his men had already planted trees all the way to Quyan County. Quyan County was the closest to the north and the first place to experience water shortages. The terrain there was higher.
These past few days, they've been leaving early and returning late every day, spending more than an hour just on the road.
I got back after dinner.
However, they came back very late today, and everyone looked rather grim. Even the adults didn't have the same imposing manner they used to have when they came back, glaring at Lin Yuxin every time.
Lin Yuxin was surprised and asked Zhao Yi.
"Zhao Yi, why are you back so early today?"
"Your Highness, something has happened in Quyan County!"
Zhao Yi said with a serious expression.
"What happened? Tell me!"
Lin Yuxin immediately became serious and said.
"When I went to Quyan County to plant trees today, I found that many people in the villages under Quyan County were not right. Everyone was listless, had a bitter look on their face, and had an unpleasant smell. They walked with stiff bones, and their responses were slow when I spoke to them."
"I sensed something was wrong, so I returned to report shortly after planting today."
Zhao Yi reported the truth.
The adults around them also looked on with surprise and doubt. Those villages were eerie in every way. Looking back now, it was as if they were possessed by ghosts.
What was the situation when you went there yesterday?
Lin Yuxin frowned and asked:
"When I went there yesterday, nothing seemed amiss. Although the people received little food each day, they all had smiles on their faces and were full of hope for life. But today…!"
Zhao Yi was also puzzled. How could things have changed so much overnight? Was he poisoned? Or was he really possessed by a ghost?
Lin Yuxin lowered her eyes and pondered.
[The symptoms they just described sound so much like zombies? But how could that be? Could it be poisoning? This isn't in the book. It seems she's led us astray from the plot. I'll have to go to Quyan County myself to find out what's going on.]
"Alright, I understand. You may all leave now!"
Lin Yuxin looked up and told everyone to go and rest.
He was sitting there lost in thought when Li Xiaochen came in without him noticing.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Yuxin frowning, Li Xiaochen guessed that she must be troubled by something, so he asked her.
