"Mr. Wan, look! That shirt is from the palace!" The emperor was so excited that he pulled Prime Minister Wan and pointed at him to look.
Wan Cheng saw it earlier than him and was so shocked that he was speechless.
The blouse that the woman was wearing was the most common attire for palace maids. The palace had long been burned to ashes by the heavenly fire, so it was impossible for it to remain.
The emperor strode over, stopped the woman, and asked, "Where did you get this shirt?"
When the woman saw that it was a smelly beggar, she quickly covered her mouth and said, "Go away, go away."
The emperor frowned and shouted angrily, "Tell me where did you get this shirt?"
The woman was frightened by his fierce look and could only reply, "It was given by Lord Fu."
"Marquis Fu..." The emperor muttered, his heart full of doubts, "How could Marquis Fu have the clothes in our palace?"
When the woman saw that he was in a trance, she immediately turned around and left, thinking he was a madman.
The emperor looked up in the direction of Zi'an City with a confused look on his face, and couldn't figure out why, "How did the things in the palace end up in the hands of Marquis Fu?!"
Prime Minister Wan lowered his head and comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. It may just be a coincidence. When the sky fire broke out, many eunuchs and palace maids fled the capital. Maybe they took the shirt out with them, and then the Fu family accidentally picked it up."
After hearing what Prime Minister Wan said, the emperor looked much better.
The two finally stopped arguing about the skirt, but the emperor was always uneasy after that day, always thinking about the good things that were lost in the palace.
The next day, there was a strong wind and a light drizzle fell from the sky.
This is the first time it has rained in six months of drought.
The people were very excited, thinking that good days were coming.
The floods in the south were getting worse and worse, but in the end they couldn't persuade people to go south.
The villagers who stayed behind cried bitterly as they watched the rain. It was not easy for them to survive until now.
Lord Fu immediately sent people to collect the rain water.
Although Chu Chenyin knew that it was futile to do so, she still did it.
After placing all the wooden barrels in the yard to collect water, she immediately went to the fields and vegetable gardens and sent people to collect all the last of the food.
Not only that, she also ordered people to dig a cellar and store some fruits and vegetables in the cellar so that they could survive the six-month cold winter.
After the grain was collected, she sent people to each village to ask the villagers to prepare cellars in every household to store the grain in the future.
When Chu Chenyin returned, Qian Wan'er called her back and said, "Madam, I have finished the drawings you gave me before."
In order to test Qian Wan'er's blacksmithing skills, Chu Chenyin took out a blueprint of a modern fire stove and gave it to her.
