After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

The two maids turned pale and were dragged out before they could plead for mercy.

Haitanglou is the lowest-class brothel, frequented by all sorts of people; going there is worse than death.

"Your Majesty, I will prescribe some digestive medicine for the Fourth Prince. He should avoid meat and oily foods during this period, and it is best to eat a fixed amount at each meal. The symptoms should disappear after three days."

Upon hearing that it was just a stomach ache, Shi Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want to end up with such a tragic fate.

The Empress personally fed Shi Yuzhi his medicine.

"belch!"

He burped several times, his stomach rumbled, and he quickly got up to relieve himself.

After a while, she came out and said, "Mother, I feel refreshed now."

He walked over to the amusing younger sister and cautiously made his request.

"Mother, may I hug my little sister?"

She rolled her eyes every second.

"No, no, fourth brother is so filthy! He just pooped and didn't even wash his hands before coming out to hug me. He smells so bad!"

"Pfft..." The Empress chuckled, amused.

Shi Yuzhi was a little embarrassed: "Wait a minute, I forgot to wash my hands just now."

He ran out and washed his hands several times, even using incense to scent them, before running back over excitedly.

"Mother, I can hold my little sister now."

A chubby big baby is holding a small baby, and the two siblings are grinning at each other.

"My chubby older brother is actually quite cute, isn't he? He has a goofy look and good features. It's a pity he doesn't lose weight and doesn't like studying. He doesn't deserve such a cute little sister!"

Shi Yu's face turned bright red.

"Mother, I want to lose weight so I can study at the Imperial Academy. I will study hard and not bring shame to you and my sister in the future."

The Empress was overjoyed to see that he had made such a great decision.

"Good, good, good. I will support you if you are determined. Now that you are of school age, it is time to do something serious."

On the way back to Huayao Palace.

Qing Sui and Qian He were happy to see the Empress, and they were happy too.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince seems to have grown up. He used to be very naughty, locking himself in his room and refusing to see anyone, not even coming to Huayao Palace. I never expected him to have such a profound realization today."

"That's right. Perhaps it was Her Majesty's actions today that moved him. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager said that Her Majesty hadn't taught the princes well, but look at them now, how promising they are."

The Empress was very pleased.

The Crown Prince volunteered to go to Gui County, and the Fourth Prince also resolved to lose weight and study. Miao Miao was so sensible and well-behaved, and everything was developing in the direction she expected.

However, she was worried about the Crown Prince, wondering how he was doing over there.

Shi Youzhi was busy with official duties in Gui County, and had become so engrossed in them that he forgot to eat and sleep.

at night.

He had just finished his official duties when he heard that a village in Gui County had suffered a severe landslide, and Si Peian had already led a team there.

He was still worried and went to the disaster-stricken village overnight.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Si Pei'an, dressed in a raincoat and rain boots, was evacuating local villagers in the village.

"Quickly, save the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled first. Move faster." Si Bei'an stood in the rain, personally directing the operation.

The soldiers carried villagers from the farmers' homes, trudging through the mud, making countless trips back and forth.

Even Si Lingchen was soaking wet, carrying two small children in his arms and another on his back, struggling to walk through the mud.

"Hurry, we need to race against time to have any chance of successfully transferring them all!" Si Pei'an urged.

The village is covered with yellow clay soil, which has become loose due to long-term soaking by rainwater, and piles of soil are sliding down.

"Wow wow wow!"

A child's voice, crying incessantly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Youzhi hurriedly walked forward.

"Your Highness!" Before Si Pei'an could stop him, he saw him rushing towards the farmer's house.

A two-year-old boy was sitting in the dilapidated house, wailing loudly.

Large swaths of mud smashed through the roof tiles and flew down.

"boom!"

A large pile of soil fell down and collapsed the dilapidated house.

"Your Highness!" Si Pei'an panicked and hurriedly ordered the guards, "Quickly, go and save His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone was on tenterhooks.

Si Pei'an was extremely anxious. If something happened to the Crown Prince, he would have no face to face the Emperor!

"His Royal Highness!"

The guards searched and called out, but Shi Youzhi did not respond.

Si Pei'an also ran over, his frozen hands digging into the cold soil, digging and digging.

The night is getting darker.

The villagers were evacuated in time and everyone is safe, except for Shi Youzhi and the two-year-old child, who are still missing.

"Lord Si, His Highness the Crown Prince is probably..."

Si Pei'an's heart sank, and tears streamed down his face.

"Search! I must find him!"

He couldn't believe that the way of Heaven could be so unfair!

Since His Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Gui County, his heart has been filled with concern for his people. If Heaven has eyes, it will surely see this!

for a long time.

A man covered in mud stood up from the mud, holding a two-year-old child in his arms, and looked at the crowd in horror.

"Your Highness, it's Your Highness!" The soldiers exclaimed excitedly.

When Si Pei'an saw Shi Youzhi, he smiled through his tears.

He finally believed that the way of Heaven is fair!

Shi Youzhi was trembling all over, his steps unsteady, as he approached the crowd and handed the child in his arms to his parents.

This scene.

Not only did Si Pei'an shed tears, but all the people were wiping away tears.

Everyone says that the emperor of the Huayao Kingdom is a wise ruler, but isn't the crown prince of the Huayao Kingdom also a good crown prince?

He is worthy of respect and love!

Shi Youzhi smiled with relief, his left hand tightly gripping a talisman.

This amulet was secretly slipped into his clothes by his younger sister, and he has cherished it ever since he discovered it.

All this good luck comes from Miaomiao!

Recently, North Korea and China have been receiving frequent good news.

Under the leadership of the Crown Prince and Si Pei'an, the progress of returning to the county was rapid.

The prince's approachable nature led to active participation from the local people in building resettlement housing, greatly accelerating the process.

Si Lingchen went to Zhuocheng several times to negotiate, and Zhuocheng agreed to temporarily take in the people of Guixian and ensure sufficient supplies. The number of casualties in Guixian reached a record low.

"Good, good! I never expected that the Crown Prince's trip to Gui County would resolve a long-standing problem for the court. Excellent!"

The Emperor was overjoyed and proclaimed it loudly in the court.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's outstanding achievements this time are all thanks to Your Majesty's excellent guidance and cultivation!"

"A chosen one of heaven, the Crown Prince is destined for greatness!"

"Yes, the Crown Prince is truly commendable for his concern for the country and its people!"

The ministers praised it highly, and the emperor was overjoyed.

In the past, all we heard were the ministers gossiping about the Crown Prince. Even when he first went to Gui County, the ministers kept questioning his original intentions.

He never dreamed that his son... would one day bring him honor!

News from the previous dynasty reached the inner palace.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has rendered a great service, and the court officials are all praising him. You should be happy, so why are you crying?"
