Chapter 301: Procurement of Surplus Food



Seeing Qian Ruoyu's attitude made Li Zhiyi extremely unhappy, and she even spoke hysterically at this moment.

"Don't worry about her. Go on. This princess is going out today. She is going out!"

After seeing her like this, Qian Ruoyu walked forward without hesitation, stepped on the pedal of the carriage and came directly in front of Li Zhiyi.

Before Li Zhiyi could react, Qian Ruoyu raised her hand.

“Bang!”

With a crisp sound, Qian Ruoyu slapped Li Zhiyi in the face, catching Li Zhiyi off guard.

Li Zhiyi didn't dare to believe herself at all. She was slapped by Qian Ruoyu at this time. Why did Qian Ruoyu hit her?

Before she could understand, Qian Ruoyu had already ordered the coachman in the carriage.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to go back? You want to get out of the palace, right?"

After hearing this, the coachman didn't dare to say anything more. Qian Ruoyu got off the carriage, and the coachman hurriedly pulled the carriage back to the palace.

After that, Qian Ruoyu hurriedly found the housekeeper of the palace.

"From today on, the gates of the palace are strictly closed! Without my and the prince's orders, no one can open the gates of the palace, let alone receive any guests at will!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly ordered several servants to start closing the main door and other doors.

But Qian Ruoyu knew that if the disease really spread, the entire capital city might be in danger. In addition, in order to avoid any accidents in the palace, some supplies had to be collected in advance.

Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu immediately prepared to take Jin Lianhua to the kitchen and ask them to deal with the supplies and prepare nearly a month's worth of meals in advance.

But when Qian Ruoyu was about to leave the door, Li Zhiyi came over with Dan'er, and Li Zhiyi directly blocked Qian Ruoyu.

"Why did you hit me just now?"

Li Zhiyi asked without hesitation.

She felt extremely uncomfortable and painful at this moment, because she never expected that Qian Ruoyu would suddenly slap her in the face at that time, and in front of the gate of the palace.

Therefore, Li Zhiyi felt extremely aggrieved in her heart.

But Qian Ruoyu still had a calm expression.

"You feel wronged, don't you? Who told you to be disobedient? Now I asked you to come back to save your life. Do you think I don't want to let you go out and play?"

"You can go wherever you want, but the premise is that you can't bring the disease back to the palace. There is a very serious infectious disease outside. If you go out and get the infectious disease, you can forget about coming back, and you might die outside!"

After suddenly hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Li Zhiyi was instantly shocked!

Because she never thought that Qian Ruoyu would describe such a matter so seriously, she was speechless for a moment.

Daner on the side said.

"My queen, you can't be kidding. You've even made up such an excuse to prevent us from leaving!"

"Besides, this is the capital. How could there be an infectious disease here? The capital is the most prosperous and magnificent place in the entire imperial court. There is no way there would be an infectious disease!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled lightly, came to Dan'er and slapped her again.

Qian Ruoyu had no intention of trying to reason with the two of them, because in such an emergency the more she tried to reason the more panicked they would become. She could only ask someone to take them both back to the yard.

Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"I'm giving you a chance now. Either get back to your own yard before I get angry, or I'll have someone take you back!"

"During this period of time, I have to prepare more vegetables and more meat so that everyone in our palace can eat. If you delay, not only will there be no meat cart, I'm afraid I can only give you some white rice and a cabbage!"

Upon hearing these words, both Dan'er and Li Zhiyi were silent.

After all, for them, if they don’t have enough food, it would be difficult for them to survive. What’s more, the prince is not in the palace at all now, so Qian Ruoyu has the final say in everything.

So Mudan had no idea when this happened. Before this, when the prince was not around, she was the person whose words counted the most in the palace.

Now this person has turned into Qian Ruoyu.

Although she was angry, Li Zhiyi had no choice but to return with Dan'er.

It was at this time that Qian Ruoyu brought Jin Lianhua back to the kitchen and found Zhang Ma and Wang Po.

"Auntie Zhang and Auntie Wang, take these veils now, and go to the vegetable market and the meat stall outside with the other 20 people to buy a lot of things!"

"At least make sure that everyone in the palace has nearly a month's worth of contributions to eat. Even if it's something that's inconvenient to store, you have to preserve it for me!"

After saying that, Qian Ruoyu took out nearly two thousand taels of silver directly from his laboratory.

All this silver was prepared for the palace, and Qian Ruoyu paid for it herself.

Seeing Qian Ruoyu's attitude, Zhang Ma and Wang Po didn't dare to say anything more. They quickly put the veil that Qian Ruoyu took out on her face, and called more than 20 people at the same time.

The twenty or so people also put on veils on their faces, and then left with Zhang Ma and Wang Po, each holding dozens of taels of silver in their hands.

After seeing them leave, Qian Ruoyu immediately went to the backyard of the palace, wanting to see what the situation was like. He thought that nothing bad should have happened near the palace.

After Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang and more than 20 people left, Qian Ruoyu also came to the backyard of the palace. She saw that the backyard was very quiet, and there were still many vegetable farmers selling vegetables on the street corner far away from the backyard.

After seeing this, Qian Ruoyu felt a little more relieved, thinking that this matter might not have spread so quickly, and at least he would have some time to make guarantees.

Qian Ruoyu then returned to the palace and called for the housekeeper.

Qian Ruoyu wrote a letter by hand, signed it with her own hand, and handed it to the butler in front of her.

"Take this letter to the prince outside the capital and tell him to be careful during this period and not let anyone from outside or inside the capital enter his military camp!"

"Run to the prince as fast as you can, hurry up!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the butler nodded quickly.
