Xu Ruqing wanted to say something, but this girl moved too fast. Before she could speak, she was helped by her to the arhat bed and lay down.

Qiu Ju went to replace her with a pot of hot water, and after Xu Ruqing completely quenched her thirst, she began to wipe her.

Xu Ruqing looked outside, "Why didn't you see Zhiqu and them? Where did they go?" Usually at this time, Zhiqu would lead the sweeping women to serve. Although it was quiet outside, there were some noises. Why is it so quiet today? abnormal?

"Sister Zhiqu and Xuan Ye's guards went to the capital to give porridge to the suffering people, and went for disaster relief."

"Disaster relief?"

Qiu Ju nodded: "Well, princess, you are injured and unconscious. I don't know. It rained heavily three days ago. It lasted for three days and three nights. The water volume continued to rise to a height of 20 meters, submerging the river starting from the Yellow River. Buildings and crops, many people were displaced, and there were casualties and injuries..." As soon as she said this, Qiu Ju couldn't help but think of her parents who lived in the country, and she didn't know what happened to them.

Xu Ruqing frowned when she heard the words, natural disasters and man-made disasters really do not have warning signs, they come as soon as they are said.

The terrain of Dongyuan Kingdom belongs to the plateau and mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the central part gathers together, showing a "concave" shape.It’s okay if you live near the mountains, the terrain is high and the plant roots are well developed, and you won’t be in danger of losing water in a short period of time, but you may not be so lucky if you live in the flat area. If it cannot be cleared in time, it will only accumulate more and more...

She could imagine how helpless and terrified those people would be when the flood broke out!

"Shouldn't this matter be under the control of the imperial court? The prince is a general, and he is not an official of the Changping Division. How can he get it?"

Speaking of this, Qiu Ju sighed heavily: "When the flood just came, the emperor sent an urgent call to ask the ministers of the court to discuss the disaster relief strategy overnight, but it has been three days, and the disaster relief strategy has not been thought of yet. Come out. Seeing that more and more innocent people are being victimized, the lord has no choice but to personally lead troops to rescue them, and now anyone in the mansion who can do it will help."

Xu Ruqing nodded thoughtfully upon hearing the words, that's why.

"What about Chu Yu? She also followed?"

"Go, side concubine Chu went with the prince."

Xu Ruqing thought for a while, and then threw off the quilt on her body: "Find suitable clothes for my concubine, I want to go out and have a look."

Qiu Ju stepped forward to stop her movement: "No, the lord gave special instructions when he left, let the servants watch you not to move around, there is turmoil outside, it will be bad if you are hurt again."

"Stop talking nonsense. As long as you know, you can't stop me. Instead of wasting time with me here, why don't you think about how we'll get there for a while."

"This……"

Xu Ruqing frowned, pretending to be angry and said, "Why don't you go soon?"

Qiu Ju couldn't, just as Xu Ruqing said that he couldn't stop her. "Yes, princess, wait a moment."

Qiu Ju changed into a blue dress for Xu Ruqing, with narrow sleeves and a skirt, which was convenient for her to move around.

She first went to the field outside the city to inspect the situation. Most of the Luoyun City has medicine fields and water areas that she opened. Although fire and flood prevention facilities were built before the construction, after all, the technology is limited, and she is always worried.

"Ma'am." Wearing a brown robe, Wang Jiawei recognized Xu Ruqing from the crowd at a glance, and he went straight to greet her respectfully.

Xu Ruqing nodded: "Brother Wang must know why I came here, so I won't talk nonsense. Tell me about the situation in the field and the aquaculture area."

Wang Jiawei looked relaxed, and replied: "Madam, please rest assured that neither the medicine fields nor the waters have been affected."

"Not at all?"

Wong Kar Wai replied confidently: "No."

This was something Xu Ruqing didn't expect.

She guessed that with the previous preparations, the loss of the medicine field and the water area should not be too great, but there was nothing at all, which she never expected.

"The waterproof embankment you ordered to build has played a role in this flood. The flood water was kept out, so Luoyun City was not affected."

Luoyun City's terrain is relatively low, and it is near the sea, so it should be affected by disasters, and once a flood occurs, it will definitely become a hard-hit area.

But fortunately, Xu Ruqing built fire and flood protection facilities before the medicine fields were reclaimed to prevent accidents. She gave Wang Jiawei the blueprints and asked him to arrange workers to build waterproof dams and insulation walls in various places in Luoyun City. A complete fire protection system, so the herbs in the greenhouse and the aquaculture under construction have not been damaged in the slightest.

Xu Ruqing was thinking about other things while listening to Wang Jiawei's words.

Suddenly a group of people walked towards her mightily, led by Xu Laoqi and Zhou Qiangzi, they came in a menacing manner, with a large number of people, it seemed that the entire Luoyun City might have come.

"It's her, she is Princess Wei!"

Everyone looked this way in unison upon hearing the words, and Xu Ruqing frowned uncomfortably upon seeing this.

She thought they were here to make trouble for her, but she didn't expect these people to come to her and fell to the ground with a thud. "Thank you Princess Wei for saving my life. We rude people don't know etiquette, so we can only kowtow to show our gratitude!"

"Thank you Princess Wei for saving my life!!"

Seeing such a powerful scene, Xu Ruqing didn't react for a while.

Fortunately, Wang Jiawei explained: "Princess, don't be afraid, these people are here to thank you for saving them."

"Save them?" Xu Ruqing was puzzled, she obviously didn't do anything.

"Well, Madam should have noticed when she came. The flood affected a wide area, but Luoyun City was the only place where there was no panic, and the people were safe and sound. It was all thanks to your foresight that we built the dam, and Luoyun City was able to survived this disaster."

Because of Xu Ruqing's foresight, coupled with timely dredging when the flood came, most of Luoyun City was spared from the disaster, and the total number of casualties was zero.

Compared with other urban areas that were flooded, Luoyun City is considered to be a thriving city. How could they not be grateful to her?
Xu Ruqing smiled shyly after understanding, she never thought that her small actions would bring about such a big reaction: "Everyone get up, I just did what I should do, speaking of building the dam back then Everyone participated, and I am not the only one to thank, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

"Little people don't dare to claim credit. This is all due to you, the princess. If you hadn't built the dam, I'm afraid our home would have been washed away by the flood."

"That's right, and the floods are raging now, and the court has not seen relief for a long time. If you hadn't donated rice to us, we would have starved to death, even if we hadn't been drowned."

Xu Ruqing was puzzled again when she heard the words, she looked at Wang Jiawei at the side, "Why don't I remember when I donated rice?"
