Zhou Zhizhi felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Many people also climbed out from beside those bonfires.
The fire had burned their entire home to the ground, and the only thing they were thankful for was that they had managed to crawl out; they had truly escaped death.
Zhou Zhizhi and Xiao Xiyou have already separated.
She quickly ran over and picked up a child. These were some people they had rescued; if Ru Feng came over soon, he would take them all over.
The number of injured people here is significantly higher than before.
The screams and groans of agony, the pain of people writhing on the ground, had stained the ground crimson.
Zhou Zhizhi is now numb, like a lifeless machine. She knows in her heart that she might sometimes cheat or use her intelligence to trick others.
But these things were indeed a first for her.
The imperial court quickly dispatched troops, a large number of them, and they extinguished the fire very quickly.
However, the remaining burned ruins were also about several tens of meters long.
Zhou Zhizhi struggled to pull a man who was almost burning in the fire out of the blaze.
She was quite strong, but after all that struggling, she collapsed onto the ground after dragging someone out.
Fortunately, these were the last few people left, and they finally managed to rescue everyone.
The group of people had messy hair, dirty faces, and their clothes were stained with plant ash.
But at this moment, the eldest prince, dressed in white, walked over with a handsome face.
"Why would the Imperial Advisor personally intervene in something as simple as saving lives?"
After saying this, the eldest prince covered his nose with some disgust, because there was indeed an unpleasant smell.
Zhou Zhizhi's face was flushed red from the heat, making her look particularly pitiful.
Her hair was also a bit messy, and there was a patient next to her whose leg had been broken and was still bleeding.
"Your Highness, this matter is more urgent. Could you please fetch a royal physician?"
Zhou Zhizhi was so tired that her legs were so sore that she couldn't even stand up.
However, after hearing these words, the eldest prince's expression showed even more disdain, and there was also a hint of impatience.
"Grand Preceptor, perhaps you can call him that yourself."
After saying this, the eldest prince walked a bit further away, to a table on the opposite bank of the river.
A grand armchair was placed next to the table. After the eldest prince went over, he lazily sat down in the armchair.
The stark contrast between the human tragedy here and the peaceful life he enjoys there is striking.
Zhou Zhizhi was so angry that she couldn't stand up, so she just kept crawling forward.
Once they were a little closer, he spoke: "Imperial Physician Zhao!"
"Physician Zhao, come here quickly!"
Although her voice was clear, it had taken a lot of effort, so it wasn't very loud.
Xiao Xiyou was still searching for people among the bonfires when he heard something and said something to the physician Zhao beside him.
Physician Zhao quickly glanced over and, upon seeing the patient lying on the ground in great pain, grabbed his medical kit and ran over.
"Your Excellency, are you feeling unwell?"
It was clear that Physician Zhao was genuinely concerned about her, but after a whole night of work, Zhou Zhizhi was exhausted.
"I'm just a little tired..."
"Sir, please save my child!"
A woman with disheveled hair ran over and knelt down on the ground.
Zhou Zhizhi felt like her back was about to break, but she still sat up and asked very seriously, "Don't rush, speak slowly!"
The woman was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, as if she were in extreme pain.
"After my son was burned, his body was as hot as a furnace."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi quickly picked up a stick from the side and used it to support her as she stood up.
"Come on, take me there to have a look."
It's really impossible to postpone it now, and after all, he's just a child. If he gets a fever and develops any problems, it could be a lifelong issue.
Zhou Zhizhi was led forward a bit and saw a house that was rather messy.
But there were also many people here, and the sky had become gloomy.
It looks like a torrential downpour is about to engulf it.
"You can't escape the rain here either. Why don't you go to that privately-run camp?"
“The child is fine,” Zhou Zhizhi said, taking out a small porcelain bottle from the system and putting the pills inside into the child’s mouth.
She handed the small porcelain bottle to the woman: "Give him these pills three times a day. He'll feel a little better in a while, but if he catches a cold again, things will probably get worse."
She was very serious; this place simply couldn't withstand a storm.
The sky is overcast now, and it looks extremely frightening.
"Get up quickly and prepare everything to go to the refugee camp, or rest at the inn ahead. Those places haven't been burned, so they can at least withstand a bit of wind and rain."
Those people clearly didn't want to go to the refugee camp, and upon hearing this, they immediately got up and headed towards the inns ahead.
Now that things have come to this, those inns will definitely not stop these people from going in.
The eldest prince, who had left sometime earlier, came over looking like he was watching the spectacle.
"Grand Master Zhou, don't you think you're meddling in some things far too much?"
The eldest prince was quite annoyed that Zhou Zhizhi and Xiao Xiyou had gotten ahead of him this time.
The credit and all that would go to the two of them, so even though he was sent out by his father this time, he didn't plan to do anything too significant.
If those two are so capable, then let them save everyone.
But when I saw that these two people actually rescued everyone, the sense of imbalance in my mind became even stronger.
His face was contorted with rage as he looked at the person in front of him, as if he could rush over and crush Zhou Zhizhi to death at any moment.
Zhou Zhizhi paused for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness misunderstands. All the people under heaven are your subjects. Even if I encountered these things, it was for the sake of your people. Does Your Highness think I did something wrong?"
After hearing this, the eldest prince snorted coldly, but his expression softened slightly.
He was clearly pleased with Zhou Zhizhi's flattery.
