The peerless and dark princess

When Agui arrived at the city gate, there were few people alive there. He saw a young man unilaterally killing those people. However, Agui did not care that Lord Qin had said to kill them, so he quickly took his men to open the city gate.

After Du Yuanhuai saw the city gates open, he ordered his men to enter the city, urging his attendants and those who were escorting the food to be vigilant, fearing that the long-starved people would rush in to grab the food. Two days ago, while resting at the post station, he received news that Yuecheng was already running out of food. This was already ten days after the flood. The fact that they had managed to hold out until a few days before running out of food was a feat for the prefect. With so many people, even those who had some surplus food would have struggled to find it. Furthermore, the flood had already destroyed the surrounding crops and houses...

"Excuse me, are you Prince Zuo and Lord Du coming from the capital to rescue Yuecheng?"

"Yes, I'm Du Yuanhuai. We won't exchange pleasantries here; the people of this city are our top priority. Excuse me, where is the prefect?"

"Our Lord Qin is organizing the people in the city to wait for the food that Lord Qin will bring, so he asked his subordinates to receive Lord Du and the prince. Please come."

Ah Gui looked at the luxurious carriage behind him with a somewhat unhappy look in his eyes. Yuecheng was in such a bad state, yet this man was riding in such a luxurious carriage. This must be a fortune that many farmers could never earn in their entire lives. However, Ah Gui also knew that it was important for him to come here to help them at this time, so even though he was unhappy, he didn't say anything.

At this time, Zuo Qi had already dealt with those people and flew to sit next to the coachman of Zuo Ci's carriage. Because he was stained with the smell of blood, he didn't want to enter the carriage and smoke Zuo Ci.

Chu Moxuan and Zuo Yunxin, who were treating patients near the government office, breathed a sigh of relief. While the patients had medicine to treat them promptly, the lack of food was a bigger problem. Many people with minor illnesses hurriedly left and went to the government office to wait for food.

Zuo Ci glanced out the carriage window at the current situation inside Yuecheng and couldn't help but frown. Those people had been detained in the city, not allowed to leave, and left on the streets, with no proper arrangements. As a result, the city's official roads were packed with people rushing towards the government office. Zuo Ci wasn't angry at Tan Zhishu for not making proper arrangements; he knew that relying solely on his own government staff was simply not enough to handle the situation. Most of the guards were in the hands of the men Zuo Qi had just killed. Fortunately, Tan Zhishu had managed to contact his own people.

Du Yuanhuai was also a man of great efficiency. Upon arriving at the government office and seeing that everything was well arranged, he ordered his men to move the rice to the storage area and cook porridge for the people. He then distributed food to every household, giving them a meal first. He also issued a policy for the city's young and middle-aged to build simple houses outside the city for the people whose houses had been destroyed by the flood.

Du Yuanhuai knew that this 'dandy' prince was incapable of doing anything, so he simply went straight to work without going through Zuo Ci. Zuo Ci was also happy with this, so he pretended to follow the people who were surveying the terrain and repairing houses for the homeless people before leaving the city.

Because Chu Moxuan and Zuo Yunxin did not have enough medicinal materials, they went out of the city together to look for herbs. Because of the floods, too many people fell ill. Although they brought a lot of medicinal materials, it was far from enough.

"Sir, it seems Miss Chu and Miss Yunxin are picking herbs over there."

"Yun Xin and Chu Moxuan?"

"Yes."

"Go over and take a look."

With Zuo Ci's permission, Zuo Qi left directly in that direction. Zuo Ci originally wanted to go there as well, but it was better for him to do something else in front of everyone. Otherwise, it would be bad if people found out about his relationship with Zuo Yunxin. It would also be better for him and Chu Moxuan not to have any contact. Both families were thorns in the eyes of that person, so it was better not to cause trouble and anger him.

"My Lord, your servant?"

"Oh, I just saw an interesting thing over there, so I asked him to get it for me."

After Zuo Ci answered like this, those who came with Du Yuanhuai immediately stopped talking and remembered what Du Yuanhuai said. As long as Prince Heng did not cause trouble, they would not care about other matters and let him do whatever he wanted.

"Are you going with us, then?"

"You guys are going so far, I'd better wait here for my follower to come back with the fun stuff."

Those people were relieved to hear that Zuo Ci would not follow them. They were not afraid of this person following them, but they were afraid that he would not be able to walk and delay things, so they all said and left quickly.

"Left Seven???"

Chu Moxuan practiced martial arts and was sensitive to the presence of someone behind him, so he turned around and saw Zuo Qi.

"Miss Chu!"

"Brother Zuo Qi."

"Yun Xin, is this your brother?"

"Miss, you can't do that."

"That's not the case. Brother Zuo Qi, is it my brother who came here?"

"Well, the young master is here. Do you want to go and meet him?"

Zuo Qi just caught a glimpse that those people had left, leaving only his young master alone, so he invited Zuo Yunxin and Chu Moxuan to come and meet him.

"Yun Xin, so, your brother is Prince Heng Zuo Ci?"

"What Prince Heng? However, my brother's name is indeed Zuo Ci."

Chu Moxuan suddenly didn't want to talk. In the whole Dali, there was only one person called Zuo Ci, Prince Heng. Was this girl trying to trick her?

"Miss, she doesn't know that my young master is Prince Heng. As for those things, there are reasons. Miss Chu, please don't..." Zuo Qi saw that Chu Moxuan was a little angry, so he explained, "By the way, Miss Chu, Miss Mu asked the young master to bring you something."

"elegy?"

"Yes, Miss Mu Wange."

"Then take us there quickly."

As soon as Zuo Qi mentioned Mu Wange, Chu Moxuan became impatient to get the things Mu Wange had prepared and no longer cared about anything else.

So, Zuo Qi brought the two girls to Zuo Ci.

"Brother. Why are you here? Brother Zuo Qi just said you were a prince?"

"I won't tell you about that for now. I was appointed by the imperial court this time. By the way, why did you come to Yuecheng instead of staying in Southern Xinjiang and following Master Yan? Don't you know what this is like?"

"Brother, I learned medicine from my master. Medicine is for saving lives, and here..."

"never mind."

"Prince Heng."

"Ms. Chu, Wange asked me to bring you something, but I don't have it with me right now. Just tell me where it is and I'll have Zuo Qi deliver it to you later."

"Brother, what about Miss Elegy?"

"Ok?"

"Did you bring it to me, brother?"

"Miss, of course we have it. I'll bring it to you and Miss Chu later."
