Most of the people who were still panicking a second ago knelt down excitedly to Gu Sang after hearing the words of the princess.
But some people were still puzzled, muttering, wasn't it the emperor who sent the princess to rescue the people?
Shouldn't the royal family be the ones to save them?
"Princess, how is the situation under control?"
"Thanks to your antidote and isolation methods, the situation is now under control, with fewer than a thousand casualties."
In the past, when plague broke out, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people died!
Gu Sang and the eldest princess smiled at each other. They looked at the people kneeling on the ground to express their gratitude, and they both saw the burning ambition in each other's eyes.
From this moment on, the countdown to Pei Changying's throne begins!
Gu Sang asked everyone to stand up.
She heard the doubts and confusion from the crowd, so she pointed at the eldest princess in front of all the people.
Every word was sonorous and powerful, shocking: "I know you are all wondering why I saved you and not the emperor."
"Okay, I'll tell you now!"
"Half a month ago, I learned of a plague here and passed on the prescription and quarantine methods to the Emperor! But not only did the Emperor not take any action, he even threatened me with your lives, forcing me to appear as his concubine!"
"My ability to transmit the medicine through my shadow is already at its limit. I cannot descend upon the world in person. But the Emperor doesn't believe me and is becoming even more selfish, disregarding your lives."
"I didn't want to see the people displaced and the city littered with corpses, so I sent a message to the Princess, asking her to bring the plague prescription."
"You must remember that the eldest princess is your destined savior."
"And that supreme emperor, in order to force me to appear as his concubine, ruthlessly abandoned you! This matter is no secret. You can ask the imperial physician if it is true!"
"It was the eldest princess who disobeyed the emperor's order and came to save you regardless of the danger!"
"And yet this emperor, who treats human life like grass, clearly developed a remedy long ago, yet he's been hesitant to act! Do you still want to support such an emperor?"
These few short sentences shocked all the people.
They quickly turned to look at the imperial physician.
The imperial physicians bit their lips and lowered their heads in disappointment. In front of the people, they promised that the emperor knew about the plague and had a prescription, but he was slow to order the rescue.
turn out to be........
Is what the gods said true?
Is the emperor selfish and abandoning the people of the city?
In order to force the immortal to appear in the world and become a concubine, can the lives of hundreds of thousands of people be thrown away at will?
Everyone went from being shocked, disappointed, and heartbroken at first, to self-mockery.
They have survived life and death, so why are they still heartbroken? It is not uncommon for emperors of all dynasties to be ruthless!
Soon, the people accepted this fact and shouted loudly to the princess:
"The emperor has abandoned us. He clearly has a prescription but he won't order relief!"
"It was the eldest princess who saved our lives."
"If the princess hadn't disobeyed the emperor's orders and forcibly ordered the surrounding granaries to release food for disaster relief, we would have starved to death! From now on, we support the princess!"
"Support the Princess!"
The sad, angry and excited voices echoed throughout the city.
There was a rumbling sound coming from the distant sky, as if their shouts had been resounded through the clouds and responded by heaven and earth.
Gu Sang looked at these people whose blood was boiling with enthusiasm.
She knows.
This time.
Pei Changying's reputation is ruined!
Then let’s take the next step!
Gu Sang glanced at the eldest princess and said, "I know you need a lot of food after the disaster, so today I will bring you a good thing."
"In Fujian and Lingnan regions, there is a crop called sweet potato..."
While Gu Sang was talking about the benefits of sweet potatoes, he showed them the sweet potatoes and vines.
So that they can recognize this crop when the time comes.
When the people heard what Gu Sang said about sweet potatoes, their eyes lit up.
Once sweet potatoes are planted, they will produce so much that even pigs can’t eat them all?
There is such a good thing in this world! !
Seeing that the time was almost up, the princess immediately conscripted able-bodied men on the spot: "I will lead my men out in a few days to look for sweet potatoes in the two places the goddess mentioned."
"Fujian and Lingnan are vast and sparsely populated. This princess needs to recruit several hundred strong men to go with her in the search."
"The emperor also knew about sweet potatoes, but he strictly forbade his officials to look for them. The reason was that he believed sweet potatoes were from overseas and eating them was beneath one's dignity."
When the people heard this, they said: “…”
Soldiers in the city: ???
I'm about to die, and you're talking to us about dignity?
The emperor was full!
But what about the people?
Tens of thousands of people are freezing to death outside the city, while the palace is feasting and drinking, right? Without even food, how can there be dignity?
The princess successfully fanned the anger and discontent of the people and continued, "Only if the people can find the sweet potatoes the goddess mentioned will they have a chance of survival!"
"Only then will you have the chance to eat a full meal every day and never go hungry again!"
"Floods can't wash you away, plagues can't defeat you, so what about food? What are you going to do?"
Everyone's blood boiled, and they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Go find the sweet potato vines! Food can't defeat us!"
“We want to live!”
"The Emperor is ruthless and doesn't care about our lives, but we can't just sit there and wait to die. We want to live and eat! We all listen to the Goddess and the Princess!"
The eldest princess immediately arranged for the guards around her to register these people.
At that time, she will personally select hundreds of able-bodied men to go to Lingnan.
very good.
Things are going very smoothly.
"Then I wish you success in advance." Gu Sang smiled and ended the live broadcast.
