Chapter 563 Chapter 563

He also said that her childbirth was so dangerous that she should stay in bed for two months.

How could Gu Ruoxi bear being locked in the room for two months without being allowed to go out?

If she hadn't had her children and everyone around her, she wouldn't have been able to endure these twenty days.

When she was pestering Nangong Yu to take her to the tree house again, Nangong Yu received this distressed letter from the emperor.

Gu Ruoxi came forward and saw that the emperor had money but couldn't buy food. It was said that there was another flood in the south this year.

Nangong Yu had been to a disaster relief mission one year, so he naturally knew how much damage a flood could cause.

Originally, the south was the granary of the imperial court, but now this granary is almost gone. The imperial court has to take grain to help the people.

Gu Ruoxi read the letter and then looked at Nangong Yu, who was frowning as he tried to find a solution for the emperor.

Gu Ruoxi said:

"Why don't you take me with you to help with the disaster relief last year? Maybe I can help you. Also, you don't have any food. That's not easy to do. Don't we have thousands of acres of food planted here?"

"I know, but it will take another month for us to harvest the grain here, and then we have to dry it before we can ship it to the south. In this case, it will take two months to go back and forth, and the people would have starved to death long ago."

Gu Ruoxi snorted and looked up at the roof. Nangong Yu didn't take this little tsundere look seriously at first. He was just thinking about how to help the emperor minimize the losses.

Gu Ruoxi snorted and looked back but there was no response. She squeezed into Nangong Yu's arms again and snorted again, still looking that little arrogant.

Nangong Yu mistakenly thought that she was tired:

"Are you a little tired today? Come, go to sleep first, and I'll take a look at these letters."

Gu Ruoxi cried out, reached out to snatch the emperor's letter, and pointed at the one about having money but no food:

"We have this. Think about it, what do I do? I can ripen the rice."

Nangong Yu paused for a moment, and suddenly looked at Gu Ruoxi with shining eyes:

"You mean, you can ripen it?"

"can."

"A month?"

"One month."

Nangong Yu was extremely happy that he had figured out a solution.

He reached out, picked up Gu Ruoxi and kissed her twice.

"Wife, you are truly my lucky spirit, and the lucky star of our Daliang Dynasty."

Gu Ruoxi smiled and said:

"So, do you want to take me with you to provide disaster relief? If I go, I can collect some food."

Nangong Yu shook his head seriously and said:

"It's just that my wife, how can we tell the emperor that the rice here is ripe ahead of time?"

Gu Ruoxi smiled and said:

"Pray to the mountain god and the land god again."

Uh...is this how the mountain god and the land god are used?

However, when there is no other way, this is the best way.

So, after Gu Ruoxi said so, Nangong Yu immediately asked people to prepare for the sacrifice to the mountain god.

When Butler Qin heard this, he immediately went to make preparations.

Nangong Yu, along with Gu Jingchun and a group of officials of all ranks, offered sacrifices to the land and the forest.

Then, during the sacrifice, they said that they were in urgent need of a batch of food and asked the God of Land to give them some food.

As a result, around three o'clock in the afternoon, when they were removing the altar, they saw a shocking scene.

In the fields over there, the originally green rice fields turned yellow before everyone's eyes.

The rice will be ripe immediately after the offering to the sky!

This is very surprising, but also very magical. No one did anything, but right in front of everyone's eyes, the rice matured!
