After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Ye Qingyu was stunned for a moment. She actually knew that such winter-like days would not last long. Today was the coldest day. In five days, the temperature would rise suddenly and return to the temperature of early spring.

Ye Qingyu bit her lip, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

Seeing her hesitant look, Gu Huaizhi asked, "Qingqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Ye Qingyu looked at the Duke, who also seemed to be listening attentively. Then she spoke carefully, "Grandfather, Third Cousin, you know about the dream I had three days ago, right?"

When she said this, the Duke also remembered his granddaughter's dream of disaster and nodded. "I remember. Yes, Qingqing, did you dream about when this cold weather would warm up?"

Gu Huaizhi's eyes lit up when he heard the Duke ask this. His cousin's dream not only included a disaster but also a heavy snowfall in Kyoto. It was exactly like reality. Perhaps the next development would be the same?

"Yes, Qingqing, tell us what else was in your dream. Maybe we can find a solution."

Ye Qingyu said, "In my dream, I dreamed that today was the coldest day, but I forgot about it. But it will get warmer and warmer. In five days, the temperature will suddenly rise to the temperature of early spring without snow."

When the Duke heard her words, his eyes lit up like stars. "Will it get warmer in five days?"

Gu Huaizhi and Gu Yuanchen were also filled with surprise, "In that case, we just need to survive these five days."

Seeing that they had no doubts at all, Ye Qingyu couldn't help but say, "Grandfather, cousin, this is just a dream. Aren't you afraid of what would happen if it's not right?"

Gu Yuanchen said, "Cousin, the things in your dream match what is happening now. This means that the things in your dream will also be the same. What is there to doubt? Oh, if we had known that your dreams were so accurate, we would have been prepared earlier."

Gu Huaizhi glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. My cousin told us because she trusts us. If outsiders knew about this, I don't know what they would think of my cousin. It would bring her endless trouble."

The Duke looked at Gu Yuanchen with a serious expression, "You better watch your mouth. You can't say a word about this to anyone else, understand?"

Gu Yuanchen nodded, "Grandfather, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't worry. You're the only ones who believe my nonsense. If I tell others, they might think I'm crazy. Who would believe it?"

The Duke said solemnly, "Be careful, though. Your dream is too real. If someone gets to know about it, they might think you have some special abilities and use it against you. It's best to be cautious."

Ye Qingyu nodded obediently, "Yes, Qingqing always listens to grandpa."

Xu came in with servants carrying food, "Father, breakfast is ready, please come and have your meal."

Ye Qingyu smiled and stood up, "Grandfather, Qingqing will serve you some food."

"Okay, okay, my Qingqing loves grandpa the most." The Duke laughed heartily.

With the cold days in Ye Qingyu's dream, the Duke also knew that as long as he could get through these five days smoothly and the weather warmed up, everything would be fine.

After breakfast and a short rest for an hour, the Duke took Gu Huaizhi and Gu Yuanchen to the palace.

……

In the imperial study, His Majesty, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was angrily raging at the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue who were kneeling below him.

When Eunuch Wei saw the young eunuch who had a report walking in quickly and winking at him, he quietly left the imperial study.

Eunuch Wei immediately spotted the Duke standing at the door and hurriedly bowed, "Duke Shen."

The Duke returned the greeting, "Please inform Eunuch Wei that I have an important matter to present to Your Majesty."

Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Duke Shen, please wait a moment."

"Your Majesty, Duke Shen requests an audience."

His Majesty the Emperor's voice was still filled with anger. "Let him in."

"Yes."

Eunuch Wei came out of the imperial study and brought the Duke in.

As soon as the Duke entered the imperial study, he saw the Emperor throwing the memorial in his hand fiercely at the left and right ministers.

He shouted angrily, "I asked you to collect food for several days, and you only collected this little food for me. What can I do with it?!"

"If you can't keep the grain in the granary, you can lose the silver in the treasury. Why don't you lose your heads too?"

"Get out of here! If you don't gather enough food for me within two days, I'll chop off your heads!"

The left and right assistant ministers stood up tremblingly, their voices trembling, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

The Duke looked at the person who slipped away quickly and couldn't help but regret coming to the palace later. He came at a time when the Emperor was angry, and he didn't know if he would be scolded as well.

"I have met your Majesty."

"No gift."

His Majesty the Emperor took a sip of tea and suppressed his anger.

"Duke Shen, what brings you to see me? Is it because the refugee riot outside the city hasn't been dealt with properly?"

The Duke hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The refugees outside the city have been appeased."

"So, very good."

The Duke said, "I have come to see you to report something."

"explain."

"I believe that although the refugee riot outside the city was suppressed last night, if we don't find a way to properly accommodate them, something like what happened last night will happen again."

His Majesty the Emperor cast a long gaze, "My dear, how do you think we should arrange this?"

The Duke said in a deep voice, "I believe we should build warm tents to protect the refugees from the cold, provide charcoal fires throughout the day, and ensure they have two meals a day so they don't go hungry. With warm tents and food to eat, they will definitely not cause any more trouble."

The Emperor's face was stern, and his voice was cold. "Do you think I don't want to? We've given them all the tents. What are the soldiers going to do? Even the charcoal in the palace isn't enough. Where do you expect me to get enough charcoal to keep them warm?"

"If I had these things, would I still worry about how to control them?"

"You came back to the palace just to tell me this nonsense!"

The Duke remained calm. "Your Majesty, the weather can't stay this cold forever. All we need to do is allocate some tents from the army for the refugees to live in. As for food, my granddaughter owns a grain store. She told me that all the food in the store should be donated to the court to feed the refugees."

The Duke paused, as if contemplating. "As for the charcoal issue, I don't have anywhere to get it. Your Majesty, could you please ask the palace to step up and allocate some? I'll also share some of my charcoal, or have the ministers donate some. If we all pool our resources, there should always be enough."

"Your Majesty, we will only suffer for three to five days. After the weather warms up, we won't need charcoal anymore. As long as we appease the refugees outside the city and the disaster in the south is resolved, we can send them back to their homes."
