"We are deeply saddened by this incident! But while natural disasters are ruthless, human kindness is compassionate. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to rebuild our home! Everyone should have confidence. With hard work, nothing is impossible!"
Although it was just a few simple words, it deeply touched the hearts of the people.
They have always lived at the bottom of society, living in fear and trepidation, even as humble as ants, and they just want to live a good life.
After the flood, they were constantly being hunted and had long lost hope in life, and were just living in numbness.
However, the appearance of Duan Qingxi gave them hope.
Her words moved many people deeply.
Those village women couldn't help but start wiping away their tears. Who knew what kind of grievances they had suffered during this period?
"Princess...you are such a good person!"
"If it weren't for the princess, we would have already become the souls under the knife of that corrupt official!"
"Princess, now that you're here, we don't have to be afraid anymore!"
"Princess, we believe in you. As long as you are here, we will definitely be able to rebuild our home!"
“…”
Duan Qingxi smiled and said to them, "It's not me you should thank, but the Emperor! If it weren't for the Emperor, the relief food wouldn't have been delivered here. If it weren't for the Emperor, the Ninth Prince and I wouldn't be here... So, it's the Emperor you should thank. Please always remember that the Emperor will never abandon his people, and the court will not ignore you..."
"Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!"
I don’t know who started shouting this, but everyone started shouting it. Everyone was filled with passion and seemed full of hope for the future.
Some people are so easily satisfied that any random words can arouse their desire to survive.
Duan Qingxi always had a gentle smile on her face. Even though these villagers had a strong odor but kept talking to her, she didn't think it was a big deal and patiently answered their questions.
Su He accompanied Helian Sheng and stood in front of the railing on the second floor, and saw the whole scene.
For some reason, looking at Duan Qingxi like this, Su He suddenly couldn't help but say, "Miss Duan is really an amazing woman! And I always feel that there is a kind of light from her that makes people feel... very want to worship her!"
The man glanced at him sideways, "What light?"
Su He thought for a moment before saying, "The demeanor of an empress! That's the kind... the demeanor of an empress who treats all the living beings in the world as their own children!"
The man didn't say anything else, but turned his head silently to look at Duan Qingxi.
Indeed, this woman has an aura that makes people want to get close to her.
After Duan Qingxi returned to the room, he was sweating all over again. His clothes were soaked with sweat, so he had to ask someone to prepare hot water for him to take a bath.
After coming out of the shower, I saw Helian Sheng sitting at the table outside the screen.
Duan Qingxi: ...
If she hadn't traveled through time from the 21st century, she might have been forced to hang herself to prove her innocence by this man.
"Why is the prince here?"
Helian Sheng glanced at her, originally just a casual glance, but at this moment he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The woman was only wearing a snow-white long robe, her hair was messy and even stained with water droplets. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower, and there was a faint fragrance on her body.
The man rolled his Adam's apple and forced himself to look away.
Duan Qingxi didn't notice his weirdness, but sat down next to him again and poured herself a cup of tea.
Putting down the teacup, he said, "By the way, there's something I need to tell you. The relief food and fodder the emperor sent doesn't seem to be here. Did you know?"
"Know."
After noticing something was wrong with the man's voice, Duan Qingxi approached him and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever or a cold?"
