"Since it's like this, I won't say much. However, I don't want to stay in this small broken house of yours." So please take a seat in the winter house. " There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with determination.

"Alright." Qi Wan County softly replied. Ruan Qing Yan glanced at Qi Shu County and remained silent.

The shadow of the official's office retracted its gaze and a bright smile appeared on its face. Looks like this Qi Hui county is also quite smart and bold.

"Then two ladies, please!"

The shadow of the official's house was half lying on the chair, his eyes shining brightly.

"I heard that this is only a minor outbreak in the imperial government. Looking at it today, it looks completely different. It's time for the imperial government to clean up."

"The prelude is enough." Qi Wan County was a bit impatient.

"Alright, I'd like to ask you two to describe the situation of the disaster zone. I'd like to request that the both of you play His Majesty."

"Oh ~" Qi Wan County thought for a bit, just relying on their voluntary contributions didn't help this disaster area much, she still had to rely on the government to help. Although she hated some people from the imperial family to the bone, she didn't want to kill them all. Moreover, this commoner's life was more important than her family's revenge. There was no need to delay the commoners for her sake.

"When we first arrived, the outbreak was very serious. The magistrate also said that it had already been reported to the imperial government, allowing the citizens to wait quietly. The commoners came to the county magistrate, and every time, the magistrate would have all sorts of excuses to send them off. In the end, the epidemic became even worse, and Qing Yan and I were on our own. All the rich who could run here had run away, while the county magistrate had simply closed the door. He had really done it to not hear a word of what was going on outside, and had wholeheartedly lived his days of comfort … " As he spoke up to here, Qi Wan couldn't help but tighten the cup in her hand, drink a mouthful of tea, and no longer speak.

"The materials we brought have been used up very quickly, that's why we came up with such a plan. I hope you don't mind." "Yes." Ruan Qingyan answered coldly. However, since young master is rich and imposing, I presume that you don't care too much about it! " Ruan Qingyan's words changed the subject as a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in Shangguan Siying's heart.

"The Shangguan family is an imperial merchant, they are wealthy in the world. It is said that the property of the family is no less than that of the treasury. Saving a life is just a small matter." Qi Wan County said leisurely.

The official also immediately understood the other party's intentions.

"Naturally, before the policy of the imperial court comes to an end, I will contribute money to the rescue of the people."

"Is it just for this period of time?" Ruan Qingyan's voice was ice-cold.

"Of course, the matter of the people is the matter of the Son of Heaven, so we can't interfere too much in it."

Ruan Qingyan's eyes instantly darkened. Qi Dian lightly coughed, and she finally reacted. Even though the emperor's merchant house was as wealthy as a kingdom, if they interfered too much in this matter, it would be filled with people trying to curry favor with the people. No matter what, the emperor's merchant house was just a rich people, there were many people who were jealous of the emperor's family. It was already good that the merchants were willing to support them during this period of time.

"Thank you very much." Qi Wan County got up and paid his respects to the magistrate.

"Please take care, both of you." The shadow of the official turned back into a frivolous face, completely devoid of the solemnity with which he had begun the conversation.

Seeing the two figures disappear at the door, the expression in the official's eyes deepened.

"Prepare some ink and pens for me." The official's voice was low.

"Recently, the grass citizens' goods have been robbed. Later on, we found out that there was someone doing it for disaster relief …" The official wrote down the details with great seriousness. He had actually perfectly revealed the details of the disaster area. He had also done his best to show his sincerity towards the emperor. No matter how much he loved his people, the emperor couldn't help but be suspicious.

"I hope His Majesty can send people to rescue the disaster as soon as possible." Putting down the brush, the servant hurriedly put away the letter and sent someone to deliver it to the capital.

The shadow of the government office stood by the window. A cool breeze blew past, bringing with it a faint smell of decay. He closed the window, turned around, and in the blink of an eye, was on the bed.

Even the sun had dimmed in the early morning of the disaster area.

As the official walked through the empty streets, the wailing patients were placed in their own rooms. However, the faint sounds of pain that came from within were equally heart-wrenching. He frowned and walked forward quickly.

The shadow of the government official was leaning on the door as he watched the two of them bustling about in Qi Wan County. He had a relaxed and carefree expression on his face, and didn't have the slightest intention of helping them.

"There are good houses here too, why do you have to stay in them …" The official was a bit depressed. This shabby house was too lacking in quality.

"Those big houses are all for the patients, so we can only stay here. Moreover, this place is located at the center of the ward, so it's more convenient to take care of the patients."

He did not look up as he squatted by the fire, fanning the wind as he spoke, but when he heard the patient's groans of pain, he quickly turned around to inspect it.

Ruan Qingyan turned around and looked at Shangguan Dian. She threw the white cloth in her hand towards him and the official store caught it. They could not help but smile, this woman had some skill, her strength was quite strong. Then, he imitated Ruan Qing Yan's action of covering his face with a white cloth, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes, which flowed with light.

Qi Wan County had always disregarded his attitude. Even though she knew that he was not a bad person, her first impression of him had made her unable to bring up any good feelings towards him.

"Let me help …" Because of the white cloth, the voice of the official became even more magnetic. When the two girls heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. It was very abnormal for a noble young master dressed in luxurious clothing to help with the treatment of a patient.

However, the next thing he did was to make the patient's actions even more surprising. It was all done fluently and quickly. He felt their gazes on him, and the white cloth on his face lifted up slightly as he said, "I've grown up in this kind of thing, it's just that to me, it's all my own."

Qi Wan County felt that the officer's disdainful tone was filled with bitterness. Thus, she felt a little better towards him.

However, not long after, the shadow official pulled the white cloth away, clamoring to leave, saying, "It's easy to take care of yourself, but it's not hard to take care of others. I'm leaving, you guys can continue."

The two girls rolled their eyes in unison. On the surface, he didn't even raise his head. The shadow of the official gave two whistles and then left.

Not long after, over twenty people stood in a neat row in front of the house they were staying in. In order to keep the fresh air in the house, the door was not closed. Qi Wan's eyebrows twitched as she looked at the row of people wearing the same uniform … He found it hilarious.

"The Young Master said to wait for the young ladies' orders." The unified voice of over twenty people caused Ruan Qingyan to be stunned. This unscrupulous official must have had his own intentions.

Qi Wanxian took out a piece of white cloth and gave it to them, explaining all the things they needed to pay attention to. Thus, he asked most of them to take care of those who were slightly lighter, leaving a few who looked much older to follow him and Ruan Qingyan in the other rooms to take care of those who were seriously sick. Everything had suddenly sped up. However, there were many things that needed them to do personally. After all, Guan Yuanzhong did not have the habit of bringing doctors with him.

The official looked at the deep sky. There were only a few stars, and as time passed, everything would dissipate. The good and the bad, without exception.

Qi Wanxian laid on the bed, the weak moonlight shining on her face, pale and powerless. She suddenly thought of her marriage contract and felt a headache coming on. She wondered how that prince was doing in the capital. However, a person like him shouldn't be so easily tricked by others … Thinking of this … She couldn't help but think of her dead family members. Even if he was tricked, there would still be people supporting him … Hehe … Qi Dian felt a bit awkward at the corner of her eyes. She would definitely avenge her family. She definitely had to kill that dog Crown Prince with her own hands. Thinking like this, Qi Lun couldn't help but clench her fists.

Ruan Qingyan felt that the person beside her was trembling slightly. She immediately turned around and embraced her.

"Xiao Prefecture, don't worry. No matter what choice you make, I will accompany you. No matter what, I will be by your side." Who would have thought that the rumored vicious Poison Saint would actually be as gentle as water in front of his good friend?

Qi Wan County leaned against Ruan Qing Yan, and the tears that had yet to fall slowly dried up from the corners of her eyes. She did not want her friends to worry about her, and also did not want them to see her tears.

Within the imperial study.

The candles in the room were brightly lit, and the Emperor was flipping through the imperial records with his white hair slightly frosted over and over. It was nothing more than a matter of indifference, but was the world really so peaceful?

He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired. He went to the bed and looked at the flickering candle. It seemed that he was just like this candle …

"Your majesty, the young master of the Shangguan family played it …" You haven't seen it yet. " The chief eunuch, upon seeing this, reminded them.

"Truly, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the overseer is. What's so good about a rich family? Are you being bribed again? " Right now, His Majesty's tone was a bit of a joke. He closed his eyes and looked like he was preparing to take a nap.

"What if there's something urgent? The last time the Shangguan Family played was three years ago …" The eunuch smiled awkwardly. He'd been by the emperor's side for more than ten years and couldn't hide such a thing from him. But luckily, His Majesty was lenient, and his control over the situation was good as well. After all, there were some papers that the Emperor wouldn't be able to see without some special methods. The government was like a battlefield. This was just a method.

"Then help This Emperor take the paper roll and have a look at it." The Emperor slowly opened his eyes. The tiredness in his eyes was slightly lessened.

"How preposterous." Emperor Yan was furious and threw the paper on the chopping board.

"Your Majesty …" The eunuch spoke probingly.

"To think that such a disastrous situation would occur in my world that I would never know of." "What have those officials been doing, or have they eaten the heart of a bear to deceive me for the sake of a compliment from our court?"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger …" The eunuch was confused, and could only say these words.

"Never mind, you can leave now." His Majesty sighed, then relaxed his brows slightly and waved his hands. Disappointment and exhaustion could be seen in his eyes, but more importantly, pity for the common people. One had to say, this sort of emperor was indeed an enlightened ruler.

My people are really suffering. I don't know how many things these so-called officials have hidden from me. It seems that the court needs to be reorganized.
