Chu Lixue followed Liuyue to King Chen's room, and saw him lying there, his head wrapped in a thick bandage, and there were blood stains on it, and the people affected by the disaster also stood at the door of the palace to pray for King Chen's safety.

Ding Guogong and Lord Xu organized people to set up five cauldrons, cooked white porridge for everyone to eat, and temporarily vacated the public hall and the rest place for the next officials to live in.

"Hey, the county lord is out." Some villagers saw Chu Lixue coming out of King Chen's room, and they all gathered around him to ask about King Chen's injuries.

"Rest assured, everyone, with the Young Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley, the prince will be fine." Chu Lixue said lightly. But she wasn't sure in her heart, Ling Yijun was administering needles in the house, and she didn't say anything, how could she not worry.

After about a stick of incense, Ling Yijun walked out of the room with a solemn face, "Zeng ......, what's wrong with him?" ”

Hearing this, Ling Yijun's face twitched slightly, "I thought you were going to call my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather again, he is fine for the time being, as long as he can drink the medicine, he can wake up tomorrow." ”

I think that at the beginning, when Chu Lixue was recuperating in the Medicine King Valley, shouting Ling Yijun as his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather all day long had already given him a headache, he was so young and handsome, who would believe that he was already someone else's great-grandfather? In the end, in order not to embarrass both parties, they can only call the young valley master.

That night, Chu Lixue came to the room where King Chen was, Liuyue was standing by the bed and crying quietly, Chu Lixue saw this, and comforted softly, "Liuyue, don't worry, Lord Wang, he will be fine." ”

"County Lord, but the prince can't even drink the medicine, how can he be good? Ling Shaogu Lord said that if he couldn't drink the medicine tonight, it wouldn't be fine. ”

"Don't worry, I have a solution." After speaking, Chu Lixue walked to the bedside, picked up King Chen's head with one hand, in a half-upturned position, picked up the medicine bowl with her right hand, took a sip and put it in her mouth, gently kissed King Chen's lips, and slowly put the medicine into the other party's mouth. It took nearly half an hour for a bowl of medicine to be completed.

Liuyue is very grateful in his eyes, the county lord can ignore his own name for the prince, perhaps, the county lord can heal the scars in the prince's heart, the most coincidental thing is that the county lord has a similar appearance to the princess, maybe God saw the sincerity of the prince, and he was reluctant to let the county lord appear by the prince's side because he suffered the pain of losing his lover.

Thinking of this, Liuyue quietly went out and stayed outside. There is a county lord in it, and he is not worried about it. "Lixue, don't leave me." King Chen muttered in a coma.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you, I'll always be by your side." Chu Lixue's fingers gently brushed King Chen's forehead and said softly.

In the early morning of the next day, King Chen slowly woke up from his coma, and saw Chu Lixue lying on the side of the bed, still holding his hand tightly, he couldn't help but smile faintly, and while not disturbing her, he put a cloak on Chu Lixue's body.

At this time, Liuyue walked in with hot water, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she was happy in her heart, and "Lord Wang......" just shouted, only to see King Chen's silent action stop him. Liuyue nodded slightly, put the hot water on the shelf, and tiptoed out.

"Is your prince awake?" Ling Yijun asked as he walked in the direction of King Chen's room.

"Young Valley Lord, don't go in now, my prince has woken up."

"Awake? That's right, I'll go in and take his pulse. With that, he was about to step forward, and Liuyue stretched out his arms to stop him.

Ling Yijun looked at Liuyue suspiciously, and said with a displeased face: "Liuyue, what do you mean by this?" Yesterday you begged me to cure your prince, and today you won't let me see your prince, are you going to unload the mill and kill the donkey? ”

"The young valley lord misunderstood, but now it's ......" Liuyue didn't know what to say, it can't be said that the county lord kept watch by his lord's side all night. Doesn't that ruin the reputation of the county lord? Of course, he couldn't do such a thing.

"Is the county lord of Qinghe inside?" Ling Yijun raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.

"No, no, no, the county lord is not in it." Liuyue hurriedly waved his hand.

"Liuyue, don't hide it, the county lord is inside, it's inside, I don't mind." Ling Yijun smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Liuyue was speechless for a moment, doesn't the young valley master mind? What does he have to mind, I heard that the county lord's surname is Ling, and he is also from the Medicine King Valley, so maybe they are brother and sister.

"Young Valley Lord, my prince is still sick, and the county lord is also kind......"

"Don't explain, I get it. Oh, by the way, it's convenient to wait for him for a while, remember to ask me to come back and check his pulse. After finishing speaking, Ling Yijun left with a smile.

In the room, Chu Lixue gradually opened her eyes, and when she saw that King Chen was looking at her, her face suddenly flushed slightly, "Are you awake?" ”

"Yes, I've been watching all night, I'm very tired, or go back to my room and have a good rest." King Chen said softly.

"I don't have anything, as long as you're well, I'll be relieved." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

"Yes."

"Lord Wang, since this accident is a case of corruption, it will not be as simple as just one or two people, and I don't know how many high-ranking officials and lords are implicated." Chu Lixue frowned slightly.

"You don't have to worry about this, since they dare to embezzle in the livelihood of these people, then the king will naturally not let go of those despicable guys."

"Well, in this way, my father and I will leave for Cloud City immediately, the person who investigates and deals with this matter must be a righteous person, if it is handed over to someone else, I am afraid that I will eventually find a scapegoat." Chu Lixue said lightly.

"Indeed, then bother the lady, go and invite Dingguo Gong to come over in a while, I have something to discuss with him." King Chen said with a smile.

"you, who are you lady, I am now the lord of Qinghe, to be married, you call me like this, where do others dare to come to the door to propose." Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows and said.

"You are the king's person, don't think about escaping, when the disaster is alleviated, I will personally go to the Dingguo Mansion to ask for relatives."

"Asking for a kiss? It turns out that you don't love me very much, it's only been half a year, and you have changed your mind. Chu Lixue said angrily.

"Where? Doesn't that know it's you? If you were really gone, I'd probably be drunk to death. ”

In fact, she also knows some things about King Chen, especially when she jumped off the cliff and King Chen also jumped down, she was sad and happy in her heart, and the joy was that King Chen could not care about his own life for her, which shows that King Chen's heart for her is true, and the sad thing is that if King Chen really jumped off the cliff because of her, then the people will lose a good king.

After about a cup of tea, Chu Lixue invited Dingguo Gong over, and he went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for King Chen. In addition, it was in the disaster area, and there was nothing to replenish his body, so Chu Lixue had to ask someone to buy a chicken from the town more than ten miles away and come back to stew soup for King Chen.

After discussing with King Chen, Dingguo Gong took Chu Lixue and others back to Yuncheng together, although Chu Lixue is the real Princess Chen, but after all, she is now the identity of the county lord of Qinghe, and she is still a woman to be married.

Dingguo Gong returned to Yuncheng, directly into the palace to meet the emperor, and the situation in the disaster area according to the facts, the emperor was furious when he heard this, and now he was insulted by the people and fainted, it turned out that these bastards were doing their hands and feet, if there was no riverbank embankment, no washing away houses, and not so many casualties, how could anyone blame him.

"Dingguo Gong, what you said is true?" The emperor was surprised.

"Back to the emperor, every sentence is true, and it is what the old minister has seen and heard with his own eyes, and there will be absolutely no falsehood." Ding Guogong said solemnly.

"So what now? There's really not that much money in the treasury. ”

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Chenwang Mansion, the Dingnan Wangfu, the Jiang Guogong Mansion, and the Dingguo Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion have all transported all the food and some clothes at home to the disaster area, and also bought some food in other cities and sent it over, but it is a drop in the bucket, Qinghe said that the courtiers can raise donations from the people, and the court will come forward to borrow grain from some merchants, and return it with interest when the treasury is full."

"Okay, good, good way, this is what the county lord of Qinghe thinks?"

"Yes, it's Qinghe's way to think of it. It's just that this fundraising...... "Dingguo Gong is a little embarrassed."

Is fundraising a matter that you want to do, how can you force others to raise donations? If some people refuse to raise donations, you can't arrest them, right? Especially those royal relatives, they are even more iron roosters.

"Dingguo Gong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." The emperor softened his voice.

At present, there are only a few loyal ministers who are willing to help him tide over the difficulties, and these families have already tried their best to solve problems for him, so what about the maiden family of his harem concubine? How many people are willing to help?

"Your Majesty, there are the most relatives and high-ranking officials in Yuncheng, if it is fundraising, of course, it is best to have these people take the lead, and these mansions all have more than 100 acres of fertile land, and the harvest in the past two years is good, and there must be a lot of food saved, but if they can have a few willing to donate, it is difficult to say."

"Uncle, do you think there's any good way to do it?" The emperor lowered his posture again. Although Dingguo Gong is indeed the emperor's elder in terms of family relations, but the royal affairs are all about the monarch and the minister before the family, if the current situation does not lower his profile, I am afraid that a person who is willing to help himself will not have it.

"The queen is the mother of the world, and her mother's family has received a lot of rewards, if the queen's family is willing to ......" Dingguo Gong said half of the words in a timely manner, the Bai family is not only the queen's mother's family, but also the queen mother's mother's family, the reason why it is the queen's mother's family, it is only the property of the Bai family's second room, if it is the queen mother, it is the entire Bai family......

"Well, okay, I'm going to tell Bai Zhiming, what else?"

"Please ask the emperor to send someone to thoroughly investigate the corruption and malpractice case of the riverbank burst." Dingguo Gong knelt down.
