Then under the guidance of the officers and soldiers, he personally went to the ancestral hall.

A large number of refugees gathered inside, and when they saw Xiao Jingheng, several young men were a little unconvinced, rushed to him, and were stopped by the surrounding officers and soldiers.

"What are you doing with us here?"

Everyone began to echo and quarrel for a while.

"Be honest."

One of the officers and soldiers raised the wooden stick in his hand, and Xiao Jingheng stretched out his hand to stop the behavior of the officers and soldiers.

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to what I said, I promise everyone has food to eat."

When the crowd heard about the food, they fell silent, and one of the leading men asked, "Why do you believe it?" ”

Xiao Jingheng took out the prince's token from his waist, held it high in his hand, and then said: "I am the prince of the court, and Xu County has sent troops to the court to ask for support, and food will be allocated in three days." ”

"Three days?"

"Then I still have to wait for death for these three days."

Everyone bowed their heads and talked about it.

Xiao Jingheng was self-evident, clapped his hands, and several officers and soldiers behind him appeared in front of everyone with small porridge that had already been boiled and a basket of white-flour steamed buns.

The fragrance attracted everyone's attention, and the refugees kept swallowing their saliva and staring at the steamed buns tightly.

"Don't worry, we will provide you with enough food for the next three days, but please also cooperate."

"Is this really for us?"

Xiao Jingheng nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Of course, but it depends on our arrangement." ”

"As long as the food is enough, we are willing to do anything, don't you say?"

"Yes."

Looking at everyone's echoes, Xiao Jingheng was very satisfied.

"Shi Fei, distribute food to everyone."

Shi Fei nodded,

"Everyone line up and proceed in an orderly manner."

took the steamed bun and devoured it, and a bowl of porridge changed before it was overlooked.

A few days of turbulence and wandering have made them hungry, and now these white-flour steamed buns are comparable to a variety of delicacies in their eyes.

"Everyone also knows that this flood is a natural disaster, and if you want to eradicate it, you must rebuild the embankment.

"Your Highness has given us a bowl of rice, and we will follow Your Highness and be willing to serve the whole horse."

"Yes, I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

The crowd chimed in.

"Okay, the young man with good physical strength will follow me to rebuild the embankment."

After walking for half an hour, Xiao Jingheng and his party arrived.

The scene in front of you can be described as miserable, as far as the eye can see, there are no people within a hundred miles.

Above the fertile fields, there was indeed an above-ground river, and at this time, the flood had dispersed, and the water level of the underground river was shallow.

Surrounded by the wasteland of the destroyed embankment, a large hole in the middle of the embankment, and the flow of water was faintly visible.

"The current solution is to fill up this hole and build this embankment a little higher."

There are about 100 young men, and together with the officers and soldiers of the prefectural government, there are 200 people in total.

Under the command of Xiao Jingheng, everyone began to transport stones, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Xiao Jingheng rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, Shi Fei's eyes were sharp, he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Your Highness, just do these rough jobs under your subordinates, and you don't have to bother you to do it yourself." ”

Xiao Jingheng did not listen to the dissuasion, he knew in his heart that this was his only chance to enter the palace, if he missed it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

He's got to behave.

Xufu.

"Sss

Xiao Jingheng clenched his teeth, his face twitched, Shi Fei picked up the medicine bottle on the side, sighed and said, "Your Highness, why are you so troubled?" ”

After a day of hard work, the hole in the embankment was finally repaired, and Xiao Jingheng, who was dressed in fine clothes and fine flesh, had done this kind of rough work.

At the end of the day, the skin of his palms was worn out, and blood blisters appeared on his feet.

Xiao Jingheng's eyes were full of hatred, if it weren't for Gu Nuan and Xiao Jingyi, how could he suffer like this, all of this was harmed by the two of them, and when he returned to the palace, he would have to make the two of them look good.

Shi Fei carefully sprinkled the powder on the wound, and then wrapped it in gauze.

"Your Highness, it's better not to go tomorrow."

"No."

He had to go, and he had to go with this wound.

"Queen Mother, here's a letter for you."

The queen was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, and beckoned, "Quickly bring it over." ”

The maid handed over the envelope, and the queen's eyes were eager, and she hurriedly opened the envelope.

A gazebo!

It's Wang Zhan.

At night, under the cover of the maidservant, the queen changed into a maid's dress and hurried out of the palace.

Liang Heng.

Wang Zhan had been waiting for a long time, and the queen took off the veil on her face, and said in a somewhat hurried tone: "But there is news from Heng'er?" ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness is now in Xuzhou for disaster relief."

Disaster relief, the queen looked puzzled, Wang Zhan then explained: "Xuzhou County will enter the palace in the near future, and at that time will definitely mention the good deeds of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that Niangniang and I should cooperate inside and outside, and there will be many good words around Your Majesty, and His Royal Highness will be able to return to the palace." ”

"I don't know how the prince needs this palace to cooperate?"

"Mother, lean over here."

When the queen heard the voice, the Buddha listened, Wang Zhan whispered a few words, the queen's face changed, she had some doubts in her heart, and asked rhetorically: "Can this work?" ”

"Mother, you might as well give it a try."

Wang Zhan looked into the distance, and now he only hoped that everything would go well on the prince's side.

Three days later.

Xuzhou County ordered the court to report.

When the emperor heard this, he was deeply saddened and decided to pull out more than 1,000 stones of grain to bring back to Xu Hui to help the victims.

During this period, Xu Hui knelt on top of the court and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the old minister also has to thank the prince." ”

The prince, the faces of the ministers changed, and they immediately discussed.

Xiao Min was also very surprised, the prince is now studying in Qingquan Temple, how can he be grateful?

"What did Xu Aiqing say about this?"

"Three days ago, the prince arrived at Xu's Mansion to help plan disaster relief, and the old minister had time to report."

"That's true."

"It's true, Your Majesty might as well send someone to go back with the old minister to check."

"Okay."

After three days of overnight travel, the embankment of the above-ground river was repaired, and not only that, but it was half a foot higher than the previous low dam, which was enough to withstand the flood.

After the dam was repaired, the villagers were helped to rebuild their houses.

"Mother, do you really want to do this?"

The queen gritted her teeth, took the basin in the maid's hand, and poured it towards herself, in order for Heng'er to return to the palace as soon as possible, she could still bear these hardships.

The weather was already cold, and the biting water splashed on her body, making her shiver.

That night, the queen developed a high fever.

Xiao Min, who was reviewing the folds in the study, heard the news and hurried to the queen's bedroom.

The queen was lying on the hospital bed, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, her eyes were dull, and the imperial doctor on the side was taking her pulse.

"Imperial Doctor Wen, how is the queen?"

"Back to the emperor, Niangniang is afraid that the fever is caused by heart disease, and the weather is cold and cold."
