She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 429 How could there be foreigners?

I feel a little weak. I guess I haven't had enough rest or food recently.

"Is there blood down there? Is there still a dull pain in your stomach?" Yu Yuanzheng asked.

"Well, a little. I just asked the doctor to see me and he prescribed some medicine. But the herbs are in short supply right now and I can't get all the ingredients in the prescription. I'm making the medicine right now." Hua Xiangling was very calm and not panicked at all.

Yu Yuanzheng saw a piece of paper on the bedside. She took it and took a look. It was a common pregnancy-preserving medicine, but the effect was not very good.

"Chaxiang, pour one of the pregnancy-preserving pills in my medicine box for the county lady to take." Yu Yuanzheng ordered.

She brought this specially for Hua Xiangling. It was a good thing from her shop.

I was just worried that something might happen to her, but I didn't expect it to really happen.

"I'll give you another injection to stop the bleeding and consolidate your condition.

It's not serious. You're in good health. Be careful next time. If you've had a miscarriage before, you might not be so lucky if you have another miscarriage.

That's the reason why any injury will leave some marks.

Do you remember it?"

Yu Yuanzheng explained warmly.

"Okay, now that you're here, I feel relieved. From now on, I'll just take care of the baby and not worry about anything else. With you, the princess who guards the country, here, there's no need for me to run around." Hua Xiangling was very obedient and smiled brightly.

She also cares about this child.

At the age of 23, other people’s children were already 6 or 7 years old, but she had just gotten pregnant.

Today was just an accident.

"Not only am I here, my husband is here too."

"That's even better, people can hopefully return to their normal lives soon.

Alas, so much good farmland has been destroyed by the flood. My husband sent people to the countryside to check, and except for a small area of ​​crops on higher ground that is still intact, most of the crops have been washed away by the flood.

Hua Xiangling sighed again.

Because of such a severe disaster, the people don’t know what to eat from this year to the beginning of next spring.

"Let's worry about these later. For now, just focus on taking good care of your baby. It's best to come back to the capital with us, otherwise your mother will be very worried."

"No, I won't go back to the capital. I want to supervise my husband and see how he governs Jiangqing County well."

"You are still so straightforward. Be careful that your children will follow your example."

"It's good to learn from me. Don't you think that my personality makes me live more freely and follow my heart?" Hua Xiangling didn't think there was anything wrong with herself.

"I can't argue with you. I'll keep this bottle of medicine for you. You can take it for three more days at most, just one pill a day. If you feel any discomfort, remember to come to me anytime. I have to go and get busy now."

"Ah."

The two chatted for a while, and then Yu Yuanzheng organized medical consultations for the people, just like at the previous stop.

Several guards became Yu Yuanzheng's biggest helpers.

Among the people here, more people have fallen ill due to the disaster.

In addition to colds, there is also dysentery.

The breeding of mosquitoes makes various diseases spread faster.

Yu Yuanzheng asked Zhuyue to call several disciples from the foot of the mountain to come here.

The medicinal herbs they brought were also gathered here.

An epidemic control is underway.

Shangguan Ziqi helped Miao Bingwen clean up the county town.

"Sir, the biggest problem facing the county is that the water won't recede."

"Have you observed where is the most suitable place to clear the water?" Shangguan Ziqi had just arrived and was not very familiar with the terrain.

“I know, but the project is so large that I can’t possibly mobilize all the people in the city to dig.

Moreover, people nowadays cannot even get enough food to eat. They try every possible way to survive every day and have no energy at all.

I don’t know when the imperial court’s aid will arrive, so I can only use up the little food in the granary, and eat porridge every day.”

Miao Bingwen also felt powerless.

Shangguan Ziqi also understood.

Even if the imperial court sends people to rescue now, it is impossible to solve all the problems. We still have to rely on the local people to work together.

"Then pick out some young and strong people, feed them, and give them some wages. First, drain the accumulated water in the county town and let the people return. They can't live on the exposed mountains forever." Shangguan Ziqi suggested.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

The two of them discussed it and started to work separately.

When the young and strong heard that they would be fed and paid, even if the pay was only ten cents a day, many of them signed up.

In order to clean up the county as quickly as possible, Miao Bingwen hired all those who applied.

There are actually more than 2,000 people.

The county town was the main area affected by the disaster. In the rural areas, only the crops were washed away by the floods, and only a few of the people's houses that were not solid collapsed due to the rain, but most people were fine.

The rescue work officially began.

With the arrival of Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng, everything went on in an orderly manner.

As supplies continued to arrive, people gradually returned to normal life.

Yu Yuanzheng also brought the epidemic under control.

However, the Wei Dynasty’s food reserves were also exhausted, and the emperor had no choice but to seek help from Southern Shu.

A lot of food was bought from Southern Shu for emergency use.

The people brought by the imperial envoy were assigned to various places to assist local officials, as well as the imperial physician and disciples brought by Yu Yuanzheng.

It made things go a lot more smoothly.

The imperial envoys were Yu Yunzhi and his son, and all officials in the prefectures knew that the money for disaster relief was provided by Princess Zhenguo, so no one dared to act rashly.

The disaster was gradually brought under control.

In early September, Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi arrived in Hongchang County, which was only about a hundred miles away from the sea.

This place is close to the estuary and is not seriously affected by floods, but it is severely affected by wind disasters. Crops are blown down by the wind, and the harvest is reduced by at least half.

This year's weather has been the most ruthless in decades.

They came here just to investigate and then report to the emperor.

But when they just entered the county town, they saw a group of strange people being escorted to the county government office by a group of yamen runners.

These people are all tall, more than a head taller than ordinary people. When they walk on the road, they stand out from the crowd.

Their hair is of different colors. Some are brown, like dead leaves in autumn; some are red, like burning flames; and some are golden, reflecting light in the sun.

His eyes were particularly striking, a deep blue like the ocean, quite different from the dark eyes of the Wei people. His eyebrows were thick and long, and his eye sockets were deep.

The facial features are deep and three-dimensional, the nose bridge is as straight as a knife, the cheekbones are prominent, the jawline is clear, and the skin is fair.

They looked a little disheveled, but you could still tell the fabric was exquisite.

It was the first time Shangguan Ziqi had seen such a person and he was so shocked that his eyes widened.

He never thought that there were such strange people in the world.

The guards who followed were no less impressive.

Many people along the way stopped to watch, but did not dare to get close.

Staring intently at the group of people walking by, whispering to each other.

"Dad, are they human?" a little child asked his father who was holding his hand.

"It should be people." The child's father also looked curiously at these people he had never seen before walking past them.

"But why are they different from us? They look like the monsters in the theater."

"I don't know either. Maybe they really are ghosts from somewhere." Even his father had never seen one.

"Ah, will they eat people?" The child looked scared and leaned close to his father's legs.

Yu Yuanzheng was also very surprised. Why were there foreigners here?

"Madam, have you ever seen such a person?" Shangguan Ziqi was also curious.

Yu Yuanzheng pulled the reins of his horse and followed the team of foreigners being escorted.

Although they were dressed in rags, each of them had an excited look on their face. They kept looking around and were curious about everything around them.

"I have seen them. They should have come from the other side of the sea. Let's call them foreigners." Yu Yuanzheng was of course referring to having seen them in her previous life.

Shangguan Ziqi's eyes fixed when he heard this.

He had heard his wife talk a lot about the afterlife, and he also knew that there were many kinds of people in this world, but he had never seen one.

And today was the first time he had seen it in his life.

They are indeed completely different from the people of Wei.

Although these foreigners were escorted by yamen runners, they did not show any fear. Instead, they pointed at the shops and signs on the street as if they were on a tour, and exclaimed from time to time.

The most eye-catching person was the blond man in the lead. He was tall, wearing a tattered coat and carrying a bulging backpack.

His eyes were a rare deep blue, sparkling with excitement at the moment. He looked around and sometimes whistled at the onlookers.

"Madam, they seem very happy?" Shangguan Ziqi asked doubtfully.

Yu Yuanzheng nodded: "Okay, let's go and see."
