Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1523

Since Wei Xingzhou had come, Emperor Mingde must have come as well.

He thought he would be able to see Tang Chujun in the princess's mansion as soon as he got off the carriage, but things did not go as he expected.

Upon asking, it turned out that Tang Chujun had been acting as his eyes and ears these days, helping him to see, hear and feel the sufferings of the people.

Tang Chujun returned to Chang'an County City with Xiyue Hongque on the second day after the earthquake. Apart from helping to look after Ye Baoer for a while, he wore men's clothes and followed the officials to walk around and check.

The officials didn't know who she was, they only knew that the princess respected her and the Minister of Revenue also protected her, so they didn't dare to neglect her.

She only said her last name was Chu.

Everyone called her Lady Chu.

Tang Chujun, a delicate girl from the inner chamber, managed to adapt to the environment in the earthquake ruins.

Lord Chu never complained or felt tired. He helped officials distribute porridge and warm clothes, helped the people save sick children, and corrected the arrogance and unreasonableness of dignitaries everywhere.

Wherever Lord Chu is, you can see the word "fairness". The seriously injured people can get treatment first, and the elderly and children can get care first.

In short, Lord Chu became famous. Everyone speculated that he might be an imperial envoy sent by the emperor.

Emperor Mingde didn't even have time to take a sip of tea before he went on a secret visit with Eunuch Qi to look for Lord Tang Chu.

In fact, he was in a very miserable state along the way.

For a long distance, he had to walk all the way on foot.

But he couldn't wait a moment and wanted to see her.

Especially when I heard that she was distributing porridge in the East Market, I couldn't stop.

With every step closer, my heart beat faster.

At the end of the long street, smoke rose from cooking fires and a long queue of disaster-stricken people was lined up.

The officials are short of manpower, so today Tang Chujun and Yu Sujun, together with Hongque Dongqi Xiyue, are responsible for distributing food in the East Market.

There is a shop that has not collapsed, which originally sold breakfast. Now it has been requisitioned by the government and used as a distribution point.

In addition to making porridge and steamed buns, Xiyue also brewed medicinal juice to dispel the cold and warm the stomach.

The wind is cold and the snow is flying.

Tang Chujun's voice was already hoarse, and there was no trace of the delicate and charming look that the woman once had. "Old man, take it. Come back tomorrow, we will continue to distribute food here."

The old man hunched his back and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Tang Chujun said, "Old man, we still have some cold-dispelling medicine here, would you like to drink some?"

The old man nodded and thanked him, then went over to take a bowl of medicine and drank it. He thanked him again and again before turning around and leaving.

Behind was an old woman holding a crying baby.

Tang Chujun took the old woman's bowl swiftly and even scooped out some more rice grains.

Yu Sujun wrapped the steamed bun in paper and put it in her arms.

Tang Chujun asked, "Where are the child's parents? Why didn't they come? Why did they ask you, an old man, to bring the child to get the porridge?"

The old woman replied with red eyes, "They were disobedient, disobedient, alas! They sneaked back home to sleep and were buried. Now my son is alive, but seriously injured. My daughter-in-law is dead... Alas!"

Tang Chujun scooped an extra ladle of porridge for the old woman and asked her to drink a bowl of medicine as usual. The child cried and refused to drink the bitter medicine.

Tang Chujun smiled and said, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. My dear child, you won't be cold after drinking it, and you won't cry if you are not cold."

The child actually stopped crying after hearing Tang Chujun's words. He was coaxed into drinking the medicine and pouted because it was so bitter.

Seeing that the old woman was too old to carry the child, Tang Chujun prepared to ask someone to give her a ride.
