Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Just then, Tianyi approached quietly and said a few words in a low voice.

After hearing this, Jun Feimo's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and left, leaving behind a series of heavy footsteps that echoed in the empty palace road.

At this moment, outside the palace gate, the cold wind was howling and snow was flying. The people were tortured by the severe cold and many people had fallen ill on the streets.

This tragic scene makes people feel pity.

The emperor was so gracious that upon hearing about this, he immediately issued an order to move these helpless people to West Street, and quickly built simple tents to provide them with a place to temporarily shelter from the wind and cold.

Chu Zixi was still refining the elixir. Yu San hurried into the room and reported to her what happened at the palace gate.

Chu Zixi stopped what she was doing, walked to the side and sat down, and said softly: "Yu Si, take these refined pills and go treat those sick people."

Yu Si responded respectfully, "Yes, Master."

Chu Zixi slowly stood up, stretched her muscles and bones that were stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time, and then lazily lay down on the small couch.

Seeing Chu Zixi's tired face, Xiaolu hurried forward and gently massaged her sore muscles, trying to relieve her fatigue. "Princess, you really put a lot of effort into refining medicinal materials." Xiaolu said distressedly.

Chu Zixi closed her eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she responded softly: "Be good."

A night passed, and the next morning, the sunlight poured into the room through the window, making the room bright.

When Yu San stepped into the room, her brows were furrowed tightly. She walked quickly to Chu Zixi's side and said in a low voice, "Master, the situation of the people in West Street is more serious than expected. They are already weak, and they knelt for a long time at the palace gate yesterday. Many of them are already terminally ill, with high fever and constant coughing. The emperor has sent imperial doctors, but there are still not enough people."

Chu Zixi frowned slightly, a surge of anger and worry in her heart. She stood up, her eyes sharp as a knife, "What on earth is going on? Why did this happen?"

Yu San looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he reported truthfully: "According to the information obtained, the King of Chu summoned the ministers yesterday and wanted to open the warehouses to provide relief food to the people. However, the Ministry of Revenue said that the treasury was empty and could not provide enough food and silver. Many people are still starving and freezing."

Chu Zixi sneered, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, "Humph! These court officials eat a lot of delicious food every day, and the money they spend is enough for the people to have several meals. Now they say there is no money in the treasury, it's ridiculous!"

Yu San nodded helplessly in agreement, "Yes, Master is right. But what should we do now? The people need food and medicine. If they don't get timely treatment, I'm afraid..." She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was already very clear.

"Master, the Emperor of Chu was furious at the morning court today and asked these ministers to donate silver or rice. These ministers made excuses, saying that they were short of money, so the Emperor of Chu was furious at the morning court." Yu San paused and continued, "Master, the rumors are getting more and more intense, and they are all bad remarks about you."

Chu Zixi muttered, "Where is Jun Feimo? Why didn't I see him today? It's strange. I haven't seen him since this guy left yesterday."

"Master, the prince said he had something important to do, and he hasn't returned since he left the palace yesterday."

Chu Zixi frowned, feeling a little confused, but she didn't think much about it. Instead, she shifted her attention to the current situation.

She thought of the gold in the space, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and then she turned and walked behind the screen, took out a box of gold from the space, and walked out.

"Yu San, there is a box of gold behind the screen. You can use this gold to buy some food and send it to those hungry people," Chu Zixi said lightly. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, and this gold is the key to solving the urgent problem.

Yu San said: "Master, you don't know that the snow and wind in Chu State are too severe this year. All roads are blocked by snow. Even if you have money, you can't buy food outside. The imperial city is so big that the grain shops of the royal merchants in the imperial city will naturally satisfy the palace first. Some shops have also been bought out by the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city. It is not the turn of ordinary people at all, let alone the victims of the disaster."

Chu Zixi frowned, "Yu San, do you know where the most food is in the Chu Kingdom's imperial city right now?"

"Uh... Master, according to the intelligence from the secret guards, a lot of grain is stored at the Chu State's National Master."

"National Master?" Chu Zixi repeated.

"Master, you don't know that the State Master of Chu is very mysterious, and few people have seen his true face. It is said that this State Master is very good at fortune-telling, and is very much loved and admired by the people of Chu."

Yu San frowned and continued, "Yesterday, the censor said that he wanted to ask the imperial teacher to take a look at the master to see if he is a disaster star and a scourge to the State of Chu. He was also beaten with a stick and thrown into prison by the King of Chu."

Chu Zixi narrowed her eyes slightly, "National Master? In that case, I will go meet this mysterious National Master!"

"Master, the Imperial Master is not in the Imperial City now."
