Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"My lord, Master Qingfeng is here." At this moment, Feng'er's voice came from outside.

"Please come in quickly." After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he went up to greet Taoist Qingfeng himself.

This time he was able to detoxify, thanks to Grandmaster.

As soon as Master Qingfeng walked in, he saw Chu Xuanchen who seemed to have been reborn, and he immediately smiled with his beard tucked away.

"Master is here, please sit down." Chu Xuanchen said to Feng'er, "Come here, serve tea."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. I came here because I want to know whether my lord's poison has been cured. Seeing what my lord looks like, I know that it must be cured. In this way, I can feel at ease." Taoist Qingfeng said with a smile.

Chu Xuanchen said: "Master is really insightful. Indeed, my king's poison was cured by Yue'er. This time, my king's poison can be cured, thanks to the detoxification method provided by the master. This king has written down the friendship of the master. Looking back, this king will send people to Qingfeng Temple to light ten more ever-burning lanterns."

Taoist Qingfeng smiled and said: "My lord has a kind heart. It seems that I can adopt a few more homeless children. I would like to thank the lord for them first. It's just my lord, what I want is not just a few lamps, but I hope there will be no more homeless children in this world. I want the people of Chu to have houses and clothes to live in, so that they don’t have to be displaced and have nowhere to go.”

Chu Xuanchen's pupils shrank coldly, "What does Master mean?"

"My lord has lived in the capital for a long time, and it's very prosperous here, which is very different from the outside. Doesn't your lord know that the world is not peaceful anymore?" Taoist Qingfeng said seriously.

"The king has recently heard some rumors that the south of the Yangtze River has suffered a flood that has never happened in a century, and the northwest has also suffered from a drought. Because of the disaster, the people have been displaced, their livelihoods have withered, and there is no food to eat. Some people are even so poor that they have to change their children. I was poisoned recently, and I feel very unwell, and I have not had the energy to investigate these things. Now that the master is here, please tell the king what he saw and heard on the road."

Speaking of this, he said again, "Now that the king's poison has been cured, he has the energy to help them. Moreover, the people are the people of the Chu family. As the Chu family, this king will never stand by and watch death. Save, this king has to shoulder the responsibility of saving the country and the people!" Chu Xuanchen said seriously.

Hearing what he said, Taoist Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Chu Xuanchen appreciatively. It seemed that he was not mistaken. His Royal Highness Prince Li was indeed different from others.

Under Li Wang's indifference and arrogance, there is a fiery benevolence.

He also knew that King Li could be relied on by the people, so he traveled thousands of miles to offer detoxification methods, and at the same time told King Li what he encountered on the road.

He said: "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River this time are much more serious than in previous years. And according to the old man's estimate, the floods will be even more serious when the big flood season arrives in June or July. When the old man came, there were many Farmlands and houses have been flooded, and the roads are full of fleeing victims."

"This is not the most heart-wrenching thing. The most heart-wrenching thing is that the imperial court clearly sent people to control the water, and also distributed some relief food. As a result, all the relief food was embezzled by corrupt officials! Officials protect each other, Embezzling disaster relief funds and food, the only thing left in the hands of the people is rice porridge soaked in sand and rotten vegetable leaves."

"The people couldn't eat enough, so they had to rely on picking wild fruits and digging weeds to satisfy their hunger. When the wild fruits and weeds were exhausted, they gnawed on bark, ate Guanyin soil, or Yizi. Some people were still alive and hungry. Some died, and some were drowned by the flood. The emperor didn’t care about this matter, he and the court officials only cared about the people, so this is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.”
