Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 204 Princess Wan'an 14

The officials sent to provide disaster relief were on their way at a leisurely pace. They also understood the Queen's intention, which was to let Princess Chaohua die in Qingjiang City.

So they deliberately slowed down their pace along the way. As long as they arrived within the last day acceptable to the emperor, it would not be considered dereliction of duty.

I don’t know what the situation is like in Qingjiang City now. I’m afraid there are corpses everywhere and many people have died.

The officials felt a little guilty, but what else could they do? They were just following orders.

Shen Lingruo stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed into the distance.

"The imperial carriages arrived too late. If it weren't for the cold-repelling and warming supplies donated by brother Yu, I'm afraid many people would have died in addition to the epidemic." Governor Lin stroked his beard.

Shen Lingruo just listened and didn't answer.

In the original plot, the emperor sent the eldest prince over, but the eldest prince was still afraid of this plague-stricken city. Although the queen had told him the pros and cons, he still tried to be slow.

It would be best if all the people in that city died so that he wouldn't have to go there.

By the time the eldest prince arrived in the original plot, most of the people in the city had died, and the batch of supplies was naturally not used.

The emperor was furious. He punished not the eldest prince, but the original owner's maternal family, the Lin family.

Governor Lin was stripped of his official title and demoted several levels.

In fact, most of the Lin family died in the fight against the epidemic. Mrs. Lin even gave her warm bedding to the little girls who were victims of the disaster.

Now that Shen Lingruo is here, things will naturally not be the same as before.

Governor Lin went to deal with important matters, leaving only Shen Lingruo and Yu Rong on the city wall.

On the eaves of the city wall, huge icicles were loose and on the verge of crumbling.

Shen Lingruo was gazing into the distance, her red cloak made of soft fur brocade protecting her from the wind and snow. Yu Rong glanced at her picturesque profile and his heart skipped a beat inaudibly.

In an instant, the icicles on the city wall fell at a very fast speed. Shen Lingruo was standing below, and Yu Rong, who had been watching him, naturally noticed it.

In a flash, he pounced forward and protected Shen Lingruo, but a huge bloody gash was left on his back.

Shen Lingruo also noticed the moment the ice cone fell. Just as she was about to dodge it quickly, she saw Yu Rong rushing towards her and holding her in his arms.

The blood on his back was gushing out, but Yu Rong seemed to be calm and smiled at her gently, "Princess, I am rude."

Even at this time, I am still thinking about whether it is impolite or not.

Shen Lingruo was a little speechless, and Yu Rong's back was covered in blood.

His face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. "Your Highness, you're okay. That's great." Then he fainted.

The winter sun shone on the city when disaster relief officials finally arrived. They thought they would see a purgatory-like scene, but who knew that everyone in the city had rosy faces.

It didn't look like the ground was eroded by epidemic or snowstorm at all. The leading official was a little surprised. While he was still thinking about it, he met Governor Lin.

"Mr. Governor, you have done a great job in governing. The city has overcome both the epidemic and the snowstorm." The official rolled his eyes. He thought that Governor Lin could not escape this disaster, but now it seems that the emperor will reward him.

"It's not your humble servant, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess who governs well. Qingjiang City was able to survive this disaster thanks to the Princess." Governor Lin shook his head in denial.

The officials were a little stunned. The emperor had handed the matter over to the princess, but no one could believe that Shen Lingruo had solved it alone.

It seems that the Queen will be disappointed. Not only did the princess not die in Qingjiang City, but she also made great contributions.

They had tried to come as slowly as possible, but they didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly.

When they saw the princess, they hurriedly bowed to her respectfully. Shen Lingruo looked at them with a cold gaze. These officials did not care about the lives of the people.

Because of the queen's selfishness, they delayed the delivery of supplies to save the people. She will not let any of these people go.

The disaster relief officials inexplicably felt a little cold. This didn't make sense. There was a heating system in the house and they were wearing warm clothes, so why was they so cold?

Although Qingjiang City did not suffer as heavy casualties as in the original plot, some civilians still died, and their lives were more or less affected.

Because of the measures ordered by the princess, and the fact that the antidote was developed by women in the clinic, the atmosphere in Qingjiang City has changed a lot, and many women have come out to work.

During previous epidemics, many civilian women came out to distribute porridge and supplies, treat the sick, and do all kinds of work.

Some pedantic ones cursed and said it was against the rules, while others sneered and said, "What's the point of following rules when your life is about to end? Since you are so rule-abiding, don't take the medicine that Miss Lianyi gives you later."

This antidote was developed by a woman, and it's not as if they didn't drink any less. Now that they're better, they start to make irresponsible remarks. It's really annoying.

When Shen Lingruo returned to Beijing, the people in the city were reluctant to see her leave.

Since then, the atmosphere in Qingjiang City has been slowly changing. After Ren Wenshu recovered from her illness, she became a female teacher in the city and always had to find something for herself to do.

To Ren Wenshu's surprise, there were quite a lot of girls who came to study. Looking at the girls in the audience, Ren Wenshu was in a very happy mood. She wanted to do as her sister said. Her eyes gradually became firm and she began to lecture.

When Shen Lingruo left, she didn't see Yu Rong either.

After he was injured and fell unconscious that day, Yu Rong's subordinates took him away for treatment, and Yu Rong left her a letter saying that he was going back to continue his business and hoped that the princess would be well in Beijing.

Ren Jiu was beside her, "Your Highness, we are almost at the Princess's residence."

"Yeah." Shen Lingruo nodded lightly. After staying in Qingjiang City for a few months, she was finally going back to the princess's mansion.

She has been busy dealing with Qingjiang City's affairs these days, and she doesn't know whether Mo Shushan is fooling around or not.

Shen Lingruo yawned. She was indeed a little sleepy. She leaned her head on Ren Jiu's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Ren Jiu's body froze, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing her sweet dream.

Mo Shushan had been waiting at the door early. To be honest, he didn't want Shen Lingruo to die in Qingjiang City. After all, he would have no help if she died. So when he learned that Shen Lingruo was entrusted with an important task by the emperor and that Haoyuanman had handled the matter, he was ecstatic.

After all, they are husband and wife, so how can the credit for Shen Lingruo's handling of these matters not be attributed to him?

He hoped that the emperor would quickly promote him to a higher rank. He felt that his abilities were declining as he spent all day doing menial tasks.

Mo Shushan does have the ability, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pass the imperial examination and become a powerful official in the original plot.

He was just waiting, and the princess returned home, but a group of guards escorted the princess into the mansion, and he couldn't even squeeze in, let alone see her.
