Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Doctor Zhou is a skilled doctor with great reputation in the city, so Gu Zhang brought him to treat his master.

"Doctor Zhou, how is the patient?"

Although Doctor Zhou did not know the patient's identity, he was very nervous that the prefect had come in person, and thought that the patient must be of very important status, so he was very careful in his response.

"Your body has been severely injured before, so your pulse should be disordered, but now it is stable. Rest well, there will be no serious problem."

"The patient is now unconscious. What's going on?"

"Oh, the noble man is asleep."

After hearing what Doctor Zhou said, Gu Zhang had no doubt at all. He knew that his master had rushed all the way here and had been trying to find a way to save the people, and had not taken care of his own health.

It must be that he had overworked during this period, which led to the health problem. So he did not suspect anything and sent Doctor Zhou away, and he also left in a hurry.

He had to leave. The government office had a lot of official business to do every day, and he couldn't stay here and wait for his master to wake up.

"Qingxuan, when the master wakes up, please have someone notify me. I have something to report to the master."

"OK, no problem."

After Gu Zhang left, Qingxuan motioned Qingxi to go out.

"The master is very tired during this period. Let's not disturb him and let him have a good sleep."

Xie Ruiyuan, who was lying on the bed, was not completely asleep at all. On the contrary, he was very sensitive to the outside world.

The reason why he pretended to sleep was because he found that his body was undergoing slow changes.

Every time the poison attacked, my body would feel a needle-like pain afterwards. At first it lasted for one day, and then gradually prolonged to two days, three days, five days, and even seven days.

This time he thought he would have to endure the pain for seven days, but unexpectedly, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, not only did the pain in his body disappear, he also felt lighter than ever before. He thought it was the water he drank that caused the trouble.

Thinking of the water bag, Xie Ruiyuan immediately stood up, walked to the table, and picked up the water bag on it.

Seeing the water filling up inside, Xie Ruiyuan fell into deep thought and said to himself, "Woman, what other surprises can you give me?"

Because of the extremely severe flood, many people in Guangping Prefecture had to make the painful decision to leave the homes where they had lived for generations in order to survive.

Some of the refugees went to nearby cities to seek refuge with their relatives, while others yearned for the prosperity of the capital and wanted to live under the emperor's feet. However, most people had peasant ideas and wanted to find a place where they could live in peace.

However, on the way north, Qingshan Prefecture is a must-pass place.

However, these refugees thought that the further north they went, the better people’s lives would be, and they would no longer have to live in despair with no food to eat.

Even if I can't settle down at that time, I can still survive by begging.

However, things went against one's wishes. The harvest in Qingshan Prefecture was poor in recent years and ordinary people had a hard time.

Especially this year, the entire city is dry, only some places are better, but only a little bit better.

With the crops in the fields facing a total crop failure, the people of Qingshan Prefecture had nothing to eat and could not fill their stomachs, let alone have extra food to give to the begging refugees.

Four hundred miles away from Wuning County, there was a group of several hundred people fleeing famine. Each of them brought their families with them, carrying their only belongings on their backs, and staggering along the road.

Whether adults or children, everyone's eyes were filled with fatigue and confusion due to long-term hunger and the physical and mental torture caused by constant traveling.

The team started their journey at dawn and walked for two hours. The adults were very tired and many of the children could not walk anymore.

The team leader, Village Chief Liu, then asked everyone to stop and rest.

I don’t know if it was because there was no hope for the road ahead, or because the food was almost gone and they hadn’t found a place to replenish it, but the people in the team didn’t react much when they heard about the need to rest.

The whole team gave people a lifeless feeling.

The head of Liujia Village was very anxious and angry when he saw how the villagers were doing. If he had not suggested fleeing to the north to escape the famine, perhaps everyone could have rebuilt their homes and continued to live in Liujia Village after the flood receded.

And based on their trust in themselves, everyone followed their family northward regardless of the consequences.

Before, he had thought that he must not let everyone down, and no matter what, he must try his best to bring the villagers to a place where they can survive, even if it cost him his life.

But reality slapped him hard in the face. It was extremely difficult to lead hundreds of people to a place where everyone could survive without enough food and clothing.

In addition, he clearly felt that the villagers were a little restless in the past few days. If this continued, something would happen sooner or later.

Just as Village Chief Liu was frowning and thinking about how to go next, a girl with pigtails walked towards him.

Village Chief Liu, who was squatting on the ground, saw the figure in front of him, looked up, stood up hurriedly, and said gently: "Miss Shen, why are you here?"

"Uncle Liu, are you worried about food?"

Hearing this, Village Chief Liu nodded, and two fine lines seemed to appear on his worried face.

"I know there is food there, I just need Uncle Liu to send someone to dig it up."

"What...what?" Village chief Liu, who hadn't had a full meal for many days, actually shouted with full energy, shocking everyone and they all looked over.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Village Chief Liu quickly fell silent, sat down pretending to be indifferent, and asked his wife to get a slightly cleaner piece of clothing to mend the ground.

"Miss Shen, please take a seat. I hope you don't mind."

Although Shen Yu was disgusted to death, he also knew that it was the old man's good intention, so he suppressed his impatience and sat down.

If it weren't for her big plan that required the use of these people, there would be no need for her to humble herself like this.

"Miss Shen, what you just said is true. You didn't lie to me."

"Uncle Liu, the food you eat now was not found by me."

When Village Chief Liu thought about what happened eight days ago, hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

Yes, if it weren’t for Miss Shen, hundreds of them would have been killed by the bandits long ago. They wouldn’t have survived until now, let alone have food to eat.

In fact, they had run out of food half a month ago and had to rely on digging wild vegetables, tree barks and leaves to fill their stomachs.

Unexpectedly, eight days ago, when I was traveling, I met a family of three, none other than Miss Shen and her grandparents.

At that time, I thought that we were all refugees, and meeting each other was fate, so it would be relatively safer to go together.

So he sent someone to inquire, and the result was as he expected, Miss Shen and the two old people were willing to go with them.

To him, it was just a small thing he did casually, but Miss Shen not only saved hundreds of people, but also helped them snatch a lot of food from the bandits, which is how they were able to hold on until now.

"Miss Shen, are there still bandits ahead? Should we still go and rob food?"
