Xiao Mo's letter didn't arrive until half a month later, and that was only after Ye Jintang couldn't help but send him a carrier pigeon.

In the letter, Xiao Mo did not mention anything about the girl. The letter was all about the flood and his longing for her and the child.

Looking at the letter, Ye Jintang felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

He didn't even mention the girl, which showed that he wanted to hide it from her.

Ye Jintang, who was already annoyed, tightly held the small carrier pigeon, wishing he could throw it directly at Xiao Mo's face.

If there was really nothing going on between Xiao Mo and that girl, he could have mentioned it openly in his letter.

Now he didn't even mention it, which shows that there must be something fishy going on.

For a moment, even someone as powerful as Ye Jintang felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

She devoted her whole heart to Xiao Mo, but he wanted to be a treacherous person.

"Xiao Mo, I hope you can give me a perfect explanation and don't let me down."

After that, the two of them kept in regular correspondence, and Xiao Mo would send Ye Jintang a letter via carrier pigeon almost every three days.

At the same time, Ye Jintang's people will also keep an eye on Xiao Mo's every move.

Xiao Mo quickly healed the girl's injuries and kept her by his side.

Xiao Mo had only one queen, Ye Jintang, in his harem, and no other concubines. This trip to Tanquzhou was extremely hasty, and Xiao Mo only brought two senior palace maids with him, and no other women to serve him.

The sudden appearance of a young and pretty girl naturally made people think more.

There are even rumors that Xiao Mo met a confidante in Tanquzhou and loved her as if she were his own.

Tanquzhou is experiencing the biggest flood in decades, and people across the country are keeping their eyes on it.

When Xiao Mo came to Tanquzhou, naturally there were many people watching his every move.

Naturally, the common people also loved to hear about the emperor's romantic scandals.

Not long after, Liuli also received the news and knew that there was a new woman beside Xiao Mo.

She was very worried and rushed to the palace to see Ye Jintang.

In the warm room of Wutong Palace, Ye Jintang had just lit a stick of incense with a faint sweet-scented osmanthus scent when he saw Liuli rushing into the warm room.

As soon as she entered the room, Liuli almost bowed while asking, "Does the Queen know about Liang Zhiyun?"

"It seems you are well-informed."

"It seems that the queen has already received the news."

"Yes, I naturally received news of such a big thing a long time ago."

"Then why didn't the Queen stop it? It's obvious that Liang Zhiyun has bad intentions. The maids serving the Emperor are not there to eat for free, so why would he need her to serve him personally?"

"Why stop her? She's just a maidservant. If the emperor likes her, it's fine to bring her back to the palace."

Liuli looked at Ye Jintang in amazement. She didn't expect that she could say such nonchalant words.

The two have been together for so many years, and based on Liuli's understanding of Ye Jintang, she has already fallen madly in love with Xiao Mo.

Otherwise, she would not have said that they would be together for life. If Xiao Mo could not love only her, she would not even care about the position of queen.

How could Ye Jintang, who was so tough back then, tolerate a strange woman who suddenly came to share Xiao Mo's favor with her?

"It's just a rumor now. The emperor and I often exchange letters, but he never mentioned Liang Zhiyun to me. The only reason I know about her existence is that I heard about her from other places."

"Your Highness, you are confused. How can you tell the Emperor about this? If the Emperor really brings this person back to the palace and wants to give her a status, Your Highness, you should think about how to respond."

"I have already said that there can only be me in the harem. If the emperor breaks his promise, I will very readily give up the position of queen."

Liuli had long expected Ye Jintang to say this.

"Have you ever thought of driving Liang Zhiyun away from the Emperor?"

"Even if you drive away Liang Zhiyun, there are still Wang Zhiyun and Liu Zhiyun. As long as the emperor changes his mind, there will always be women around him."

If that day really comes, Ye Jintang will take the three children and leave immediately without hesitation, so that Xiao Mo will never see them again in this life.

Hearing her say this, Liuli secretly sighed in her heart that this was the Ye Jintang she knew.

"Hasn't the Empress confirmed this with the Emperor? What does the Emperor mean?"

"What's the point of asking? If the emperor has me in his heart, even if the fairies in the sky come, they can't take his heart away. If the emperor doesn't have me in his heart, why should I bother myself?"

Seeing Ye Jintang being so indifferent, Liuli didn't know how to persuade her for a moment.

Finally, the two of them chatted and talked about the Medical School for Girls.

The English school had been established for several years, and had trained several batches of female doctors.

It seems that the effect is still very good. Every larger city across the country has a clinic that specializes in treating women.

When there was a flood in Tanqu Prefecture, the female doctors were the first to go there to treat the women there.

"All the powders for preventing diseases have now been shipped to Tanquzhou, and various herbs have also been shipped there one after another. Judging from the pigeon message sent by the doctor, there will not be a large-scale outbreak of disease in Tanquzhou."

"That's good. In the past, when encountering natural disasters like this, women were at a disadvantage. Even if they were sick, they could only endure it."

"With the help of the female doctors this time, even if we can't help all the injured women, we can still save most of them from suffering from illness. In this way, our efforts to run the Medical School for Female Doctors will not be in vain."

Speaking of the Medical Girls' School, Liuli's face was filled with relief. She had experienced too many things in her life, but only the Medical Girls' School made her feel that her life was an extremely meaningful thing.

"We need to expand the scale of our Medical Girls' School. A lot of people died in the flood in Tanqu Prefecture."

"Of course there are quite a few orphans who survived. Send a few capable helpers over there to take in as many orphans as possible and have them study at the Medical Girls' School."

"Those orphan girls who have no talent can be trained to become apprentices of female doctors. They can learn how to prepare and identify medicines, bandage the wounds of the injured, and assist the female doctors in treating patients."

"This way they can have a skill to earn money and support themselves in the future."

This world is too demanding of women. It is extremely difficult for an orphan to survive after a disaster. If she is lucky, she may be able to find a relative and have something to eat.

Those who are unlucky will be forcibly taken away and sold to brothels, and their lives will be ruined.

"My lady, I will go and do this right away. I'm afraid there will be too many orphans who sign up. What if we can't place them all?"

"This is easy. Go find Qiao Yuan and ask him to help you find a place. You just need to recruit people."

"Yes, I will send a pigeon letter right now to inform the aunt in charge over there."
