Seeing that everyone was so determined, Queen Duan did not refuse and asked Nanny Cui to put away the jewelry and silver.

"Forget it. I will report this to the emperor and write your names on the donation list. Your money is hard-earned, and the people will remember you."

As they were talking, Ruyi had already brought in dishes and snacks with a group of palace maids.

"Since you are all here, I just haven't had a meal yet, why don't we eat together?"

No one refused, so they stayed for lunch.

After eating two pieces of cake, Concubine Wen hurried to the little princess' side and picked her up.

"Little princess, I made you some clothes, but I don't know if you like them."

After saying that, she took out another bundle. When Queen Duan saw the dress, she was a little surprised at Concubine Wen's craftsmanship. It was just a simple little skirt, but she made it very delicately.

Xiao Ruyu smiled at Concubine Wen with curved eyebrows.

[Pretty auntie, Yu'er likes you very much, auntie kiss me! ]

She twisted her little body, struggled to help the Queen stand up, and kissed Concubine Wen on the cheek.

Concubine Wen's cheeks flushed and her heart was filled with joy!

"It seems that the little princess likes it!"

Everyone was smiling and the atmosphere was pretty good. After all, Defei was older, so she asked Empress Duan about the disaster in the court. After getting the answer, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The banquet ended at dusk, and everyone left Fengyi Palace with smiles on their faces.

Empress Duan ordered people to count the silver and personally delivered it to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, informing the emperor that it was donated by the concubines.

Emperor Shangwen was handling official business, and was shocked to hear Empress Duan say this.

I originally thought that those concubines were arrogant, but I didn't expect that when something big happened in the capital, they would still choose to help.

He took note of the incident and decided to reward his concubines after the crisis was over.

There are so many things to deal with that Emperor Shangwen has not rested for a whole day and a night.

“They are really thoughtful.”

Empress Duan praised them, "They are all kind-hearted people. This silver may be half of their assets. It is not easy to come by. The emperor should think of them."

Emperor Shangwen understood what Empress Duan meant and nodded, "I understand."

Empress Duan was still thinking about praying for blessings, so she did not stay in the Yangxin Palace for long. She went to the Baohua Palace without permission and began to pray for the people.

No one knows how long this epidemic in the capital will last, but as long as it exists, the danger will increase.

The Buddha statues surrounding the Baohua Hall were solemn. Queen Duan knelt on the cushion in front of the Buddha statues and kowtowed heavily. She didn't care even though the tassels hit her face.

"I hope the people of Xuan Country can survive this disaster. I am willing to eat vegetarian food and pray for the people."

After saying this, Queen Duan kowtowed heavily, stood up and lit three incense sticks. Her eyes were compassionate and gentle, and she spoke silently in her heart.

"God, may my two children live a happy and carefree life. I don't ask them to be brilliant, as long as they are safe and healthy."

While the Queen was praying, the monks in the Baohua Hall rang the bell loudly.

When Empress Dowager Xiao learned that the empress and concubines had donated silver to the people, she did not want to be outdone. She sent people to collect some of the silver from Shou'an Palace and sent it to the Yangxin Palace.

Although everyone knew that Empress Dowager Xiao was not short of money, Emperor Shangwen was still surprised to see such a large amount of silver, three full boxes.

When Emperor Shangwen learned that the Empress Dowager had donated money, he was extremely shocked.

However, he did not say much and sent the silver directly to Lord Duan to be used to settle the refugees.

This time, the Queen Mother really put her heart into it.

After handing over the silver, Wei Ma Ma said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that the palace is donating silver for the people. This is her intention. I hope Your Majesty will not refuse it."

Emperor Shangwen was very touched. He knew that his mother was a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart. She had not gone to Fengyi Palace to cause trouble during this period. It seemed that she had thought many things through.

"Thank you, mother, for me."

Nanny Wei bowed and left.

However, things did not go as smoothly as imagined. The epidemic in the capital became more severe than ever before, and even the officials who were in charge of the refugees were infected with the disease.

Several officials were infected on the spot and fell ill, running a high fever and waiting for treatment.

Doctor Yang added spiritual spring water to the medicine. He inexplicably believed in the effect of the spiritual spring water. Amidst the complaints, the epidemic was finally brought under control.

When it was daybreak, Doctor Yang finally had time to rub his sore palms. He sighed in his heart, not knowing when this epidemic would end.

When he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

"Oh no! Doctor Yang has fainted. Someone come quickly!"

In Fengyi Palace, Xiao Ruyu suddenly woke up. The queen was not in the palace. The wet nurse heard the voice and hurried to comfort her.

"Little princess, are you hungry? Can I make you some egg custard?"

Normally, the little princess would calm down when she heard these words, but now she didn't stop crying.

"Oh my dear, please stop crying!"

The wet nurse looked worried. What should she do? She was a little hesitant and now even more panicked. She quickly sent someone to ask the queen to come back.

[Master is in trouble! Mother, Eleven! Take me to see Master! ]

However, the wet nurse could not hear what was going on in her heart and could only let the little princess' fat hands grab her randomly, feeling helpless.

Just then, Eleven came back and saw the wet nurse holding the princess, so he hurried over.

When the wet nurse saw Eleven, she felt relieved as if she had been pardoned and said with emotion.

"Master Eleven, our princess is crying for some reason. She has always liked you. Come and have a look!"

Hearing Xiao Ruyu crying, Eleven strode in. His appearance stopped the little princess from crying.

"Nurse, I will take care of the princess. You can go back and rest."

The nurse thanked Eleven and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll take my leave."

Eleven looked at Xiao Ruyu with his black and white eyes and asked in confusion.

"Little princess, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

[Master has contracted the plague, and the man behind Concubine Li is fanning the flames. He wants to destroy Xuan Country's destiny. I'm going to save Master! ]

For some reason, Xiao Ruyu's heart was beating wildly at this moment. Perhaps it was because after recognizing his master, he had a little more telepathy.

At this moment, she figured out that the person behind the scenes was secretly using magic, and it was not witchcraft, but more like magic from her previous life.

I don’t know why, but the master has not awakened the magic from his previous life. Otherwise, with his abilities, who could have plotted against him?

As mortals with flesh and blood, accidents are inevitable. I hope Master is safe.

Eleven was a little confused. "When I came back just now, I saw that Doctor Yang looked ruddy. Didn't he look like he was in trouble?"

[Eleven, do you believe me? ]

Eleven nodded without hesitation, "I believe the princess, I will take her there right away."
