The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful
Chapter 185: Transporting Food
This time, the entire mansion was turned upside down, and everyone was in danger, fearing that the disease would be transmitted to them.
Moreover, because the Marquis's wife had to take a large amount of medicine every day, the whole mansion was filled with a strong and pungent smell of medicine, which made people feel nauseous.
The one who suffered the most was the master of the Marquisate, Meng Qingwen.
During this period, he felt dizzy and drowsy all day long, as if he would faint at any time.
After much difficulty, he finally invited a doctor to prescribe some medicine. After taking the medicine, his condition improved slightly. This guy could not control his temper and hurried to the backyard to look for his beloved concubine.
He thought he could have some tender time with his concubine to relieve the pain of missing her for days, but no matter how hard he tried, his body didn't respond at all.
The concubine was very understanding and kept comforting him in a soft voice.
But as a tall and strong man, this kind of thing was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Meng Qingwen's self-esteem.
So, he had to sneak out of the mansion in the dead of night and go outside to find a famous doctor for treatment.
Unfortunately, after a lot of trouble, including taking medicine and acupuncture, his condition still did not improve at all.
Even the second young master Meng Qiaoming was not spared.
Because of the series of changes in his family, he was so busy that he had no time to spare, and the number of times he visited his sister Meng Hewan was getting less and less.
There are very few servants in the mansion now. The figures who used to busily shuttle between the courtyards and serve have become sparse, and the whole mansion seems particularly deserted and lonely.
As for Meng Hewan, she returned to the capital secretly this time. She had to be very careful and dared not make any ostentatious moves, for fear that her whereabouts would be exposed if she took even a step out of the house.
Whenever she recalled the various injustices she had suffered at the hands of the Third Prince, the resentment was like a thorn in her throat, making it impossible for her to let it go.
What's worse is that she is already pregnant with Meng Qiaoming's child!
She had no love for this unexpected little life, but due to the situation, she had no choice but to abort it.
Helplessly, she could only endure the physical and mental discomfort for the time being, silently waiting for the storm to subside before planning a countermeasure.
Meng Hewan couldn't understand it at all. She was a person who traveled through time from the modern era. She should have been able to thrive in this ancient time and space with her knowledge and wisdom that transcended her time.
However, the reality is so cruel and merciless that it makes her live in such a miserable state in this strange world!
Even though she was full of regret at this moment, things had come to this point and there was no way to turn things around.
Especially when she heard that Gu Fanchu had once again received the grace of His Majesty, the resentment in her heart was like a prairie fire, burning her teeth and almost making her lose her mind.
……
The affairs of the South are urgent. Every moment of delay will worsen the difficulties faced by the people.
For this reason, after careful consideration, Your Majesty resolutely decided to send the Crown Prince to lead a team to transport important supplies such as food to the south.
This decision not only showed the court's high attention to the disaster in the south, but also gave the people peace of mind and hope.
In the capital, merchants who held large amounts of grain were keenly aware of the current tense situation.
When the imperial court called on everyone to donate supplies to aid the disaster-stricken areas in the south, they stepped forward and expressed their willingness to contribute to the best of their ability.
These businessmen knew very well that when the country was in crisis, only by working together could they overcome the difficulties, and only then could His Majesty look up to them more highly.
As a result, all kinds of food, clothing and other necessities of life came in an endless stream, and the quantity was astonishing.
In just five days, all the food and supplies were sorted and fully prepared to be shipped south.
In addition to Shi Jinyan, there were two other highly respected ministers accompanying the prince on this expedition.
It is worth mentioning that Gu Fanchu actually volunteered to follow the team to the south.
His request was granted by His Majesty, who also specially dispatched a large number of elite guards to accompany and protect him.
However, to be on the safe side and avoid encountering bad intentions from others on the way, Gu Fanchu secretly made arrangements - he carefully selected a team of seemingly ordinary "family guards" from his own general's mansion to accompany him.
But in fact, these so-called "family guards" are all top masters secretly transferred from the mysterious Xuanyue Pavilion. Each of them has unique skills and high martial arts skills, enough to deal with any possible dangerous situation.
In this way, this team shouldering an important mission can be said to be strong and confident as they embark on the journey south.
She had already carefully planned and made proper arrangements for all matters in the capital.
Gu Fanchu estimates that it will take about half a month to handle related matters for this trip.
Once everything is settled, she will rush back to the capital without stopping.
Because my second aunt is about to give birth, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to make it to this important moment in time.
The reason why she insisted on following him actually had another deeper meaning - to take this opportunity to transport many supplies and items in the manor out of the city.
After all, if they were to operate in the capital or its surrounding areas, their targets would be too conspicuous and easily attract attention. Since it was difficult to find a reasonable and convincing excuse, it would be better to simply change their thinking and strategy.
In this way, time passed quickly, and just two days later, this team with a special mission finally set out on the journey.
However, when they were actually on the road, the severity of the disaster they witnessed far exceeded everyone's initial imagination.
Looking around, both sides of the road were lined with groups of disaster victims, carrying their children.
These people had haggard faces and tattered clothes, and they walked slowly forward with difficulty.
When they saw the team led by Gu Fanchu and others who were responsible for transporting life-saving food, their eyes immediately revealed an irrepressible joy.
At first, these disaster victims believed that the imperial court had completely abandoned them and left them to fend for themselves, so they went through untold hardships and traveled long distances to the vicinity of the capital, just to seek that slim hope of survival.
Who would have thought that when they were almost in despair, they would still be lucky enough to receive rescue forces sent by the imperial court.
When people saw with their own eyes that the person who personally escorted the large amount of food was actually the extremely noble Crown Prince, they couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion and gratitude in their hearts.
For a moment, cheers and words of thanks erupted from the crowd, as if they wanted to convey their deep respect to this prince who cared about the people of the world.
