Upon hearing this, the people below were no longer calm.
They are all discussing it to varying degrees.
At this moment, one of the common people stood up, expressing his dissatisfaction, and asked, "Why?"
"We will bury our loved ones ourselves. If we leave it to you, we don't know how you will treat our deceased relatives!!!"
Qin Jingyu felt a terrible headache upon hearing this.
"Xi'er, let's put this matter aside for now."
"No, what if these dead corpses can also spread the plague?"
Qin Jingyi frowned upon hearing this and began to waver, but seeing the reaction of the people below, he paused.
"Sigh, tomorrow."
"Let's treat them today, I'll explain everything to them one by one."
Qin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Can you smell something that smells so good?"
"Inhale—inhale—" (sniffing through the nose)
"I smell it! I smell it!"
"It's meat!!!"
"Meat???"
"Really?!?"
Someone said it smelled like meat, and everyone was in an uproar.
For the past few days, everyone has been eating mostly rice porridge, and it's gotten increasingly thinner and thinner.
Since the rains, floods, and plagues, the people of Ancheng have not smelled the aroma of meat, let alone eaten it.
The crowd slowly began to stir.
"Don't make a fuss, everyone can eat after the doctors and imperial physicians have examined everyone."
The people immediately shut their mouths and nodded repeatedly. Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Qin Jingyi continued speaking.
"The princess wants you to eat better, so she added a chicken to a pot of rice porridge. When you eat later, don't fight over it; everyone will get some."
"Furthermore, His Highness does not wish for any troublemakers."
"Princess, Fifth Prince, and I will stand with Ancheng to face this plague and flood."
Upon hearing Qin Jingyao's words, the people looked eagerly at Qin Ruoxi, who was standing beside him.
Everyone spontaneously knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Long live the princess!"
At the corner of a house
"Brother, is this the princess you were talking about?"
"Yes, she came on her own initiative this time too."
An Zhuo patted the shoulder of the young boy beside him, "Brother, how could His Majesty agree to this, since she's a woman?"
An Zhuo smiled but didn't speak. An Yi continued, "Brother, do you know, this princess arrived just in time this time?"
An Zhuo turned to look at his younger brother and asked, puzzled.
Why do you say that?
An Yi lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Because Ancheng ran out of food this afternoon!!!"
It's been gone since the day before yesterday!!!
"The day before yesterday and yesterday, His Highness and all the soldiers only drank one bowl of rice soup a day, and it was very thin."
They didn't eat anything today!!!
"And this afternoon, the last of the grain was given to the people."
An Zhuo became serious and looked at An Yi, "How did you know?"
"Today, I overheard a soldier telling His Highness something I overheard with some friends."
"His Highness also said that if there really isn't enough food, then the horses should be killed."
An Zhuo was shocked and quickly asked, "Do many people know about this?"
"It's not much. I've already told my friends not to tell anyone."
An Zhuo nodded, patted An Yi's shoulder again, and rubbed An Yi's head.
"You did a great job on this."
"if……
If the common people found out, who knows what kind of trouble would ensue, and then the princess wouldn't be able to come."
An Yi looked at her brother's expression and asked in confusion, "Brother, why does your expression always seem off when you talk about that princess?"
An Zhuo patted An Yi on the head, "An Yi, are you even flirting with your brother now?"
"I didn't!!!"
After saying that, An Yi ran off into the distance. An Zhuo watched twelve-year-old An Yi run away and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Father, Mother, Xiao Yi is doing well."
"Xiao Yi will do even better in the future."

Meanwhile, Qin Jingke and a group of doctors and imperial physicians began treating all the common people.
Meanwhile, Qingye and Niu Yi and Niu Er, who were beside Qin Jingyi, were serving rice and distributing it to every commoner.
Just as Qin Ruoxi and Qin Jingyao were doing ideological work with the people, Luo Niu walked up to Qin Jingyao.
"Master, there are men at the city gate."
Who is it?
"I don't know, but he said she was with... the princess."
When Luo Niu mentioned Qin Ruoxi, he hesitated and glanced at her.
Qin Ruoxi was also confused.
"Big brother, you stay here and talk to the people. Luo Niu and I will go take a look."
"good"
After seeing Qin Ruoxi leave with Luo Niu, Qin Jingyi turned back to talk to the person in front of him.
Once on the city wall, Qin Ruoxi saw Jun Qingzhi riding a horse and frowned.
Qin Ruoxi was surprised that Jun Qingzhi had actually come to Ancheng, and lowered her eyelids.
"Young Master Jun, Ancheng is now... you should go back."
"Then why can you go in, but I can't?"
"I brought medicine and food. My purpose in coming to Ancheng is the same as yours."
Jun Qingzhi slightly raised her head and met Qin Ruoxi's gaze as she looked down from the city wall.
Qin Ruoxi was momentarily stunned when she saw Jun Qingzhi, who still had a faint smile on her face. After realizing what was happening, she immediately turned her head away from Jun Qingzhi.
"Young Master Jun, please leave."
After saying that, Qin Ruoxi turned and left. Jun Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qin Ruoxi fleeing in a somewhat flustered manner.
Luo Niu glanced down at Jun Qingzhi, who was riding on horseback, and then left.
Yu Feng rode up to Jun Qingzhi's side, looked at the tightly closed gate, and asked, "Young Master, what should we do now?"
"wait"
"wait?"
Jun Qingzhi ignored Yu Feng and continued to sit on her horse.
In Anseong
"Princess, we're running out of medicinal herbs."
Qingye walked up to Qin Ruoxi with a hint of anxiety and asked, "How much is left?"
A portion for ten people.
Qin Ruoxi frowned and exhaled.
Looking at the city wall he had just come down from, he turned around and walked back up the city wall.
This time, Luo Niu and Qing Ye both followed behind Qin Ruoxi.
Qin Ruoxi stood on the city wall and looked at Jun Qingzhi.
Qin Ruoxi noticed Jun Qingzhi looking at her with a smile in his eyes, and gritted her teeth.
"How many medicinal herbs did Young Master Jun bring?"
Jun Qingzhi glanced at her horse, then looked at the people behind her.
Qin Ruoxi followed Jun Qingzhi's gaze and instantly understood. She then looked at Jun Niu.
"Open the city gates!"
"Yes, Princess."
After saying this, Qin Ruoxi turned her head and glanced at Jun Qingzhi, who was still sitting on horseback with a smile in her eyes, before dismounting from the city wall.
At the foot of the city wall, Jun Qingzhi rode up to Qin Ruoxi.
