Nangong Jiu explained calmly.

“The capital can only get about 5 million catties, and the rest will be distributed to other cities.

First, find a place for us to get the food out, and then find reliable people to distribute the food to the people.

Although the food is not much, it is our intention and I don’t want anything to go wrong.”

Zhao Zhengxiong stood up and saluted to them.

"My dear friends, I promise you that I will do this seriously!"

After he finished speaking, he said to the eunuch, "Go, ask the Minister of Revenue to come to the Imperial Study Room immediately."

After an incense stick of time, the Minister of Revenue hurriedly followed the eunuch into the imperial study. After saluting to Zhao Zhengxiong, he saluted to Nangong Jiu.

Zhao Zhengxiong stared at the Minister of Revenue with a serious face.

"You will personally supervise the distribution of grain to the people. You must ensure that all grain reaches every household. If there is any mistake, you will be beheaded."

"I will do my best to handle this matter and live up to the princess's kindness!"

Xiao Wang and a few others followed the Minister of Revenue away, while Taoist Qingchen stayed with Nangong Jiu and waited in the imperial study.

Zhao Zhengxiong took the initiative to talk about abdication.

"I have done something wrong and have lost the support of the people. Rather than continue to drag down Beiyue, it is better to abdicate as soon as possible and let the prince become the emperor.

The prince is kind, capable of both civil and military affairs, and although he likes to play, he cares about the people. He should be a good king."

Nangong Jiu waved her little hand.

"We have no right to interfere in your national affairs. But as for the plague, I hope your method will work."

At this time, Zhao Chenyu, who had received the news, hurried to the imperial study.

He bowed solemnly to Nangong Jiuxing.

"The princess is so kindhearted. Not only did she come from afar to treat us, she also bought so much food to help the people. On behalf of the people of Beiyue, Chenyu would like to thank the princess for her great kindness!"

Nangong Jiulue was a little surprised by the respectful attitude, and he hurriedly helped the man up.

"Please stand up, Prince! The people of the world are all one family. We are only trying to do our best for the people. You don't have to be so polite."

Zhao Chenyu looked at Nangong Jiu with admiration.

"Chenyu sees that there are several people following the princess. I wonder if Chenyu is lucky enough to be with the princess? Chenyu is willing to serve the princess at her side."

"Your Highness, you are joking. You will soon be the ruler of a country!" Nangong Jiu refused with a smile.

Zhao Zhengxiong's eyes lit up.

"If my foolish son can catch the princess's eye, I will be happy to see it happen."

Nangong Jiu smiled and explained: "We got together temporarily. When the plague is over, I will go back to Dongling and be my mother's good child."

Do this father and son think I’m a fool?

When Zhao Chenyu heard this, he knew there was no hope, so he put away the disappointment in his eyes and praised with a smile: "Princess, you are a person with great love. Your father is so lucky!"

Not long after, Xiao Wang and his friends came back.

Nangong Jiu stood up and reminded again: "If you find anything, send someone to inform me as soon as possible."

Without waiting for Zhao Zhengxiong and his son to answer, he disappeared with a few people.

Not long after walking, he said to Xiao Wang, "Go back in stealth mode. I want to see what tricks they are up to."

The few of them returned to the imperial study quietly.

At this time, Zhao Zhengxiong was saying to Zhao Chenyu: "You have a flexible mind. If you can stay with her, our Beiyue will rise. It's a pity that she refused.

However, it is normal for her to refuse. Everyone around her has supernatural powers and is no ordinary person.

You must try your best to have a good relationship with her. It will only benefit both you and Beiyue and not harm them.

Remember, don't play any tricks in front of Dong Ling and her. Your father's lesson is already in front of you."

Zhao Chenyu sighed: "Father, I really want to practice with her, and I am not very interested in being the emperor."

"Do you think that everyone has that wisdom and that everyone can practice? You are the Crown Prince of Beiyue, and you have the responsibility of Beiyue on your shoulders.

If she is willing to take you in, that's another matter, but if she refuses and says she wants to go back and be a good child, you'd better wake up.

You should think about how to solve the current situation and be more realistic. "

"Father, Master Huiyuan is from Beiyue. I will ask him to intercede for me. Even if it doesn't work, at least for Master Huiyuan's sake, she will be on good terms with me."

Nangong Jiu, who was in the dark, winked at Master Huiyuan mischievously, and the group left the palace.

Xiao Xing teased Master Hui Yuan: "Would you really like to speak up for him?"

Master Huiyuan said cheerfully, "Huiyuan also wants to find someone to plead for him. Please, Master Jiu, accept Huiyuan."

A few of them returned to the inn jokingly.

When he saw the bed, Nangong Jiu couldn't stop yawning.

"Jiu Jun, if you are tired, take a nap. You can deliver the food tomorrow morning."

"Well, I really need to sleep for a while. I'm so sleepy." Nangong Jiu fell asleep.

Nangong Jiu and a few others spent the next two days quietly delivering food and observing the people's sentiments.

Zhao Zhengxiong's people never gained anything.

The people in various places no longer suffered from the plague, the number of pedestrians on the streets began to increase, and shops along the streets opened for business one after another.

While Nangong Jiu was relieved, his heart began to beat fast. An inexplicable uneasiness quietly grew in his heart.

This evening.

Perhaps what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night, Nangong Jiu dreamed of the plague that happened in the past again.

In her dream, she looked at the piles of corpses of the people and cried with sorrow.

The sobbing sound alarmed Taoist Qingchen.

Taoist Qingchen patted the little guy gently to comfort him.

"Jiujun is dreaming again, don't be afraid, it's okay..."

After waking up, Nangong Jiu no longer tried to be brave, he wiped his tears and looked up and said, "Heaven, I wanted to find the source of the disease with my own ability.

But I have made no progress, and I don't want to see people suffer anymore, please help me."

Not long after, Nangong Jiu fell into a drowsy sleep under the comfort of Taoist Qingchen.

Not long after he fell asleep, a voice sounded in Nangong Jiu's mind.

"Little girl, you have done a great job on the plague. To reward you, I will give you some pointers.

There is an independent courtyard at the end of Tingyu Lane. Go and have a look. There you will find the answers you want.”

As soon as the sun rose, Nangong Jiu woke up and sat up abruptly.

He pulled his messy hair with both hands: "Qingchen, the heavens sent me a dream! Tingyu Alley! Quick, let's go to Tingyu Alley!"

Wuwang hurried forward to help her wash and dress.

Taoist Qingchen brought some porridge and said, "Jiu Jun, fill your stomach first, then we can go."

"No, hurry up, find the source of the disease sooner, and feel relieved sooner!"

The group hurried out, asking questions as they walked.

In order to speed up the process, Wuwang carried Nangong Jiu in his arms and walked away. After half an hour, they finally found the remote Tingyu Lane.

"Hurry, to the independent courtyard at the end!"

Several people rushed straight to the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was ajar. After calling a few times and hearing no one answer, he went in decisively.

However, after searching the entire courtyard, no one was found.

The careful Wuwang came out from the kitchen.

"Master, the person must have left not long ago. The water in the pot is still hot."

Nangong Jiu nodded: "Everyone, search carefully and find the source of the disease that is causing harm to people..."
