Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 116: Disaster Relief

The weather is clear and the air is fresh.

The magpies were chirping on the branches early in the morning.

Amidst all the compliments, Ali and the little wolf gradually lost themselves and climbed up the tallest ancient tree in the yard, hoping to have a close contact with the magpie.

All the servants in the Lu mansion wore new clothes and looked very happy.

The mansion was filled with festive red lanterns, and the draperies in the pavilion had all been changed to bright colors.

The kitchen purchased a large amount of ingredients from the market early in the morning to prepare for the banquet.

Originally, everyone thought that no one would come to congratulate her. After all, the girl had only been in Beijing for a short time and didn't know many women and girls in the capital.

But no one expected that visiting cards would pour into the Lu Mansion last night.

The Second Prince is not to be mentioned, and there is also the young princess of the Rong Palace, the Xie Shizi of the Marquis's Palace, the Meng Gongzi of the Minister of Revenue, and the Lou Gongzi of the HSBC Bank...

Although there were not many people coming, each of them was of distinguished status.

The servants of the Lu Mansion started cleaning before dawn. Even the flower petals in the garden were checked and all the dirty ones were wiped clean.

Everything is ready, just waiting for guests to arrive.

But, I never expected it.

The first thing that came was the emperor's oral order.

He ordered Lady Fuyao to follow the army to provide disaster relief.

……

Once the issue of the plague was raised, it became a top priority.

The newly conferred Princess Fuyao has no way to escape and must go with them, because she is a miracle doctor.

But a dispute arose among those who led the team.

The second prince was the first to request to lead the team, and some people in the court supported it while others opposed it.

Supporters say that the prince’s presence would be more convincing and would be more able to calm people’s hearts.

Those who opposed it directly said that the plague was too dangerous and that His Highness could not be put in danger.

Your Highness has just recovered and is standing to attend court for the first time today. You want to let Your Highness go to such a dangerous place to provide disaster relief. What is your intention?

Those who supported it were all confused. Didn’t His Highness ask for it himself?

They’re just used to the support.

Anyone can go, as long as you are not allowed to go.

Zhou Hongping, who raised the question, remained silent. He knew that it was impossible to take the Second Prince, who had just recovered, to such a dangerous place this time.

So he sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers, and after dropping a bomb, he started holding his breath.

As expected, Emperor Qing simply ignored the Second Prince's request and asked which beloved minister was willing to go on his behalf.

Everyone kept silent. This was not an easy job. There was almost no possibility of doing it well. The best outcome was that they would survive and return safely.

Needless to say, the consequences are terrible. Everyone in the city is gone, and you are the only one still here. How dare you?

Totally impossible.

This is almost a dead end.

After all, all beings are equal in the face of the epidemic.

"I am willing to go." A young voice sounded in the hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look to see who the hero was.

Then, Lord Xie, who was standing in the front, had an angry face and his eyes were as big as copper bells, staring in one direction.

I had the urge to tear the other person apart.

Ok?

Lord Xie also wanted to go, but was robbed?

No way?

Everyone turned their heads to follow Lord Xie's gaze.

They immediately took a deep breath. No wonder. If they were Lord Xie, they would have probably taken action directly and would not have been able to control themselves at all.

At this time, Prince Xie, who rarely spoke in the court, came out from the ranks of generals and slowly walked to the middle of the hall.

"I, your humble servant, am willing to go to provide disaster relief and quell the epidemic."

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped.

……

Li Jiaojiao was still confused when she just woke up o((⊙﹏⊙))o

"Stop! Say it one by one."

Li Jiaojiao was wearing a white nightgown, sitting on the bed, with a silk quilt lining covering her legs, and her face showed the confusion of having just woken up.

"I want to go to provide disaster relief? The emperor's order?" she asked word by word.

"Yes, girl. There is an epidemic in the drought-stricken area. The Right Prime Minister recommends that you follow the imperial envoy who is in charge of disaster relief."

"when are we leaving?"

"Let's set off immediately."

"I can't not go, right?"

Su Yue didn't say anything.

Li Jiaojiao understood that this was not possible.

"Miss, the Second Prince is coming down." Qingdai spoke at the door.

"I got it. I'll come. Su Yue, get dressed. Keep it simple." Li Jiaojiao sighed. In an era where imperial power was supreme, one could only accept one's fate.

She couldn't tell what she was thinking at the moment, it was a complete mess.

When Li Jiaojiao finished packing and arrived at the living room, she was stunned again.

At this moment in the reception room, Qi Yunyu was sitting on the left, and behind him was Qi Yuyi.

Sitting on the upper right is Xie Xiao, followed by Meng Siyuan.

Only one more person is missing, Lou Rong, and then all the people who want to come for dinner today will be complete.

But I can’t help but talk about it. Just when I mentioned Lou Rong, Lou Rong also arrived…

Li Jiaojiao's mouth twitched: "I can't have dinner with you today. I have to pack up and go with the envoy to provide disaster relief."

Li Jiaojiao walked to the main seat and sat down while talking. "You shouldn't have received the news, right? Are you here to see me off?"

Then, without waiting for anyone to speak, he turned to Qi Yunyu and said, "Remember to send my nanny to the villa as you promised. Also, please help me arrange a midwife and a wet nurse to be sent to the villa. Originally, this was my job, but now I can only ask Your Highness to do it."

"Okay. Don't worry." Qi Yunyu had a lot to say, but with so many people around, he didn't say it.

He just put a small box in his hand on the table next to him, paused and said: "I was not thoughtful this time and I have implicated you. This is my identity token, take it with you, it will be more convenient for you to act. Don't force yourself when you go, your own safety is the most important. If you can't make it, come back, I will send someone to follow you all the way."

Said in front of everyone, it can be said to be biased, this is clearly telling everyone that this person is being protected by him.

Qi Yuyi didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't understand why she rushed over when she knew Li Jiaojiao was going to provide disaster relief.

Lou Rong sat next to Qi Yuyi, without saying a word, listening quietly to the two people's questions and answers.

He vaguely felt that there was something strange between the two of them, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

It gives people a feeling of being close and trusting each other, but also open and frank.

Lou Rong’s brain was about to explode, and he didn’t understand why this happened.

Xie Xiao on the opposite side just lowered his head and listened quietly, taking a sip of tea from time to time, as if he was not the one who was eager to lead the team in the court this morning.

Meng Siyuan's expression was much more interesting, his eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief. He looked at Li Jiaojiao in the first place, and then at the second prince below, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Meng Siyuan mourned in his heart. It seemed that finding a wife who was too pretty or too capable was not a good thing.

What’s the use of passing the imperial examination and getting the top three places in the imperial examination?

It was because she was not careful that the prince poached her.

It’s a pity for Brother Lu.

Hey……

Lu Liang, who was rushing to the capital from a distance, felt strange when he was hit by Ha Qiu for no reason.

Li Jiaojiao took the box handed over by Su Yue and took out the jade pendant inside. It was a warm jade with very good water content, which was very suitable for Qi Yunyu.

"With this, will that useless imperial envoy no longer be able to embarrass or enslave me? Can I then take advantage of the power of the other party to bully others?"

Li Jiaojiao asked in a tone that seemed neither serious nor fake.

Qi Yunyu laughed softly, dispelling the gloom in the room: "Yes."

He should actually trust her the most, after all...

Thank you, Laoshizi, Qingcha Minister Xiao, and coughed lightly: "County Lady, the journey is long and it's hot ahead. You can ask someone to pack more things to take with you. Once you are outside, everything may not be very convenient. I'll send someone to inform you that His Majesty has ordered us to set off today."

Li Jiaojiao: ￣□￣｜｜Oh, she didn’t say anything she shouldn’t have, right?
