The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 156 The plague is under control, and the refugees are escorted back home
This is the third batch of vegetable seeds being sown, and two-thirds of Shen Jiarou's high-yield sweet potatoes, potatoes and white radishes have been consumed.
The princess's two mansions, the farm, and the refugees all relied on her farm for supplies, and she felt that she was completely unable to make ends meet.
Fortunately, Master Yun was not infected with the plague, but he had lost a lot of weight and no one dared to ask him for help.
"Teacher, you have a good rest and leave the rest to us."
Master Yun said with guilt, "It's all because of my body not being able to live up to expectations."
Li Lesong and Li Leping led people to escort the supplies. After going through many difficulties, they were finally about to enter Beijing.
The two brothers leaned against the tree and fanned themselves frantically.
"Brother, it's really hot today."
"Hey, who says it isn't?"
"I don't know what's going on in the capital."
"It has an impact on the prefectures and counties, and the capital is probably also annoyed."
Two hours later, the soldiers led by General Xinwu saw a group of people and quickly rode on horseback to report.
"Report."
General Xinwu asked quickly, "Tell me quickly."
"There is a group of people, estimated to be 20 people, with 10 carts, which seem to be carrying food."
General Xinwu was stunned: Food?
Thinking of Princess Yongkang, he quickly asked, "What's her name?"
"I haven't asked yet. I saw something was wrong and came to report it directly."
General Xinwu rode quickly over to check and arrived at his destination a quarter of an hour later.
"Whoever comes, please tell me your name."
Li Leping was stunned: Why are there still soldiers guarding here? What does this mean?
"Sir, we are the guards of Princess Yongkang's fiefdom and residence. We are following the orders of the stewards to transport supplies to the capital."
General Xinwu was shocked: It turned out to be Princess Yongkang's man.
"Let us go. Princess Yongkang is at the farm ahead. Are you going there?"
The two looked at each other in confusion.
"Brother, they only said to send her to the capital, but the princess is there, what should we do?"
"Find the princess first."
Shen Jiarou was woken up after just two quarters of an hour of deep sleep.
"Princess, the guards from the Princess Mansion in Qinghe County have arrived."
Shen Jiarou blinked her eyes and said, "Hmm?"
Zhen Luosang explained, "The supplies are coming."
Shen Jiarou suddenly woke up and said, "Quick, go and take a look."
Shen Jiarou was extremely excited when she saw the ten trucks full of supplies.
"Okay, that's good. These grains will last for a while."
Shen Jiarou looked at the twenty dusty guards and said, "You've worked hard. Sit down and take a rest. Let them handle these."
Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong came over, one holding a kettle of brown sugar and the other holding a bowl.
"Come, line up and drink some water."
Li Leping took the bowl and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was brown sugar water. "It tastes good and is sweet."
Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "It can replenish some blood. We have been walking for so long. It must be hard for everyone."
Elemental Frost led people to dig wild vegetables, and Yaer led people to dig medicinal herbs.
All the medicinal herbs in Princess Yongkang's mansion were used up, not even those freshly dug from the ground were left.
When Nanny Su saw the wild vegetables being sent back, she quickly arranged for people to fry them with lard so that everyone could have a taste of the oil.
When the refugees smelled the delicious stir-fried wild vegetables, they lined up consciously.
Everyone was excited when they ate the wild vegetables fried with oil.
"Lard, it's lard."
The crowd was restless, and the soldiers went into battle to suppress it.
Nanny He sorted out the dried vegetables that her own princess had asked her to cook.
These were the dried vegetables that she would eat from time to time on weekdays. Before the outbreak of refugees, she had them packed up and not taken out.
But right now, there aren't many dishes left in the house.
"Madame He, is this dish moving?"
Nanny He waved her hand and said, "Move. If you don't move, you'll starve to death. Only by living can there be hope."
The hollowed-out areas of the palace were quickly sown with seeds, and some of the seedlings were taken to the city gate, some were eaten in the palace, and some were made into pickles.
Seeing so many things in the mansion gone, Nanny He felt so sad, as they were all the hard-earned food of the mansion.
The imperial court had opened its granaries to release grain more than half a month ago, but it was no match for the number of refugees.
People in the palace also started cooking porridge, and the queen was stunned when she saw the thin porridge in front of her.
“When will this end?”
Bai Yuechu sighed, "My queen, the imperial granary is running out of food. I'm afraid the granary in the harem will also need to be moved."
The Queen sighed, "That can't be helped."
"By the way, how are the Princess's Mansion and the farm?"
"I heard that Master Yun was ill and can't help right now. He is resting in his room. The princess has become so thin that her face looks like an oval. The food in the princess's mansion is almost gone. I heard that Nanny He has moved all the dried and pickled vegetables she had stored."
The queen held her forehead and said, "Ah..."
The prince was also keeping an eye on his sister's situation. When he heard the report from the secret guard, he frowned.
"Is the princess really okay?"
"Master, he is fine now, but his round face has become oval-shaped."
The prince sighed distressedly, "He was just healed in the capital, and now he's gone again."
Aunt Zhenhua arranged for the palace servants to sow seeds and harvest many vegetable seedlings.
Xie Youmu sighed as he ate his cucumber with garlic paste, "I wonder how the princess is doing and if she has any food to eat."
Their palace has also begun to reduce the number of dishes, but fortunately they can have fresh rice seedlings from time to time.
An Yiyin sighed, "I don't know. I heard there are a lot of refugees there. With so many refugees, they need a lot of food."
Suningde sighed deeply, "No matter how much food we have, it's not enough to make it."
Everyone was silent. Seeing that everyone was listless, Aunt Zhenhua said, "We in the palace all know about sowing seeds and eating vegetable seedlings. The princesses will also think of it."
Everyone felt much more relaxed after hearing what Aunt Zhenhua said.
"That's good, but we can't let our princess starve."
After a few more days, the situation in the capital city became better day by day.
The plague was effectively prevented, with only a few thousand people killed. The bodies were buried in time, and wormwood water was boiled and sprinkled around the area, which further prevented the disease.
The prince saw that the daily condition had improved significantly, and his brows finally relaxed.
Prince Rong was responsible for arranging to send some people back to their hometowns. He took silver and escorting soldiers and thousands of refugees out of the capital.
Prince Su took over the daily disinfection work of the capital, and he went out early and returned late every day.
The fifth and ninth princes also escorted a group of refugees out of the capital, and even the thirteen-year-old tenth prince was arranged by Emperor Shun of Yuan to be in charge of horse work.
Thanks to Prince Su's words, the family that had previously asked Shen Jiarou for help in collecting grain was able to keep more than 70% of the grain.
In a flash, a month passed. Shen Jiarou arranged everything and finally set off back to Beijing with Master Yun.
When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty learned that his daughter had returned to Beijing, he personally went to the palace gate to greet her.
Listening to the noise outside, Shen Jiarou frowned.
"What's going on outside?"
Nanny Wang explained softly, "Princess, the Emperor is here to pick you up at the palace gate."
Shen Jiarou was stunned and startled. She quickly lifted the curtain and saw her father and the crown prince standing in front of her.
Shen Jiarou hurried out of the carriage, and Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty walked straight over to her when he saw her.
"Yi Yi, father will hold you."
Hearing this, Shen Jiarou had no choice but to reach out to him, but before she could touch him, her eyes went dark and she passed out.
Nanny Wang was horrified. "Princess..."
The prince was also shocked, "One by one..."
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty quickly hugged his daughter's small body to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Yi Yi, what's wrong with you? Look at father."
Li Jiang was anxious, "Oh, Your Majesty, quickly bring the princess back to the palace and call the imperial physician to take a look."
At Li Jiang's reminder, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty directly carried Shen Jiarou back to the Dragon Bedroom and laid her on his bed.
All the imperial doctors were brought by Liu Xu to treat Shen Jiarou.
