Chapter 162 An Urgent Message!

Seeing here, Chushi Youtian couldn't help shouting, "Well, well, well."

Then Chushi Youtian read again, and his brows frowned slightly. Due to a large number of victims in Jiandu, the food brought there before was not enough.

Chushi Youtian couldn't help thinking in his mind. After he knew the flood in Jiandu, he sent people to other regions to buy grain and prepared to transport it to the border fortress. The soldiers in the border fortress could not be hungry.

He didn't expect that the rations brought to Jiandu last time would be used up so quickly. And now there was still some time to fall after, so he decided to send some rations to Jiandu first. And the rations sent to the border fortress could be collected later.

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian called Eunuch Li, "Go and find the Third Prince."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li said and left the Imperial Study.

In the residence of the Third Prince.

At this time, Chushi Weiming was accompanying Liu Yiyi to enjoy the flowers. Liu Yiyi was pregnant for more than three months, and her belly was already bulging.

The imperial doctor had already diagnosed and said that it might be a boy according to the symptom.

For this purpose, imperial concubine Xiao asked Chushi Weiming to clear out all the wildflowers and weeds in the yard. She devoted herself to accompany Liu Yiyi so that Liu Yiyi could give birth to her eldest grandson as soon as possible.

At this moment, Li He walked over and whispered in Chushi Weiming's ear, "Eunuch Li is here, Your Highness."

Chushi Weiming nodded, "Got it."

On the side, Liu Yiyi asked Chushi Weiming, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Just a little thing. I have to leave for a while. You go back to the room to rest first. I will accompany you next time." Chushi Weiming nodded and then said. He parted the hair that the wind had blown into Liu Yiyi's face.

Liu Yiyi smiled, "Well, okay, go ahead."

"Zi, help the imperial concubine to the room." Chushi Weiming ordered Zi.

After hearing this, Zi quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, let's go back to the room." As she said, Zi supported Liu Yiyi's arm.

Liu Yiyi nodded and walked to her residence.

At this time, Chushi Weiming asked Li He, "What did Eunuch Li say?"

"He didn't say anything." Li He said, shaking his head.

After hearing this, Chushi Weiming said, "Let's go and take a look."

Then he walked to the front hall.

When Eunuch Li saw Chushi Weiming coming, he stood up from the chair, "Your Highness."

"What's the matter with Father, Eunuch Li?" Chushi Weiming asked.

Eunuch Li smiled, "Your Highness, it's the Emperor who is looking for you, but as for what the matter is, I don't know."

"It bothers Eunuch Li to come here. Let's hurry up, lest Father waits for a long time." Chushi Weiming said.

Eunuch Li smiled and nodded, "Let's go then."

Along the way, Chushi Weiming wondered why Father was looking for him, and he didn't seem to have done anything during this time.

When he arrived at the Imperial Study entrance, Eunuch Li stopped, "Your Highness, wait here first. Let me pass the news first."

Chushi Weiming smiled and nodded to Eunuch Li.

After a while, Eunuch Li walked out of the Imperial Study, "Your Highness, come in."

In Imperial Study, Chushi Youtian was reading the memorial.

After Chushi Weiming walked in, he knelt on one knee, "Father."

"Stand up." Chushi Youtian said and put down the memorial in his hand.

At this time, Chushi Weiming asked, "Father, what's the matter for looking for me?"

"Yes, the news comes from Jiandu says that there is not much grain left. I am going to send some grains to Jiandu. And you will be responsible for this trip." Chushi Youtian said.

After Chushi Weiming heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that Chushi Youtian knew his private actions, and it turned out to be this thing.

So Chushi Weiming said, "I will follow the order and surely deliver the grain safely."

"Okay, I will transport 5000 kilograms to Jiandu this time, so that the people in Jiandu can get out of hunger as soon as possible." Chushi Youtian said.

At this moment, Eunuch Li walked in and straight to Chushi Youtian, "Your Majesty, someone sent an urgent message from the frontier."

"Well, let him in." Chushi Youtian said quickly after listening.

At this time, Lan Huo walked in, knelt, and said, "Your Majesty."

"You don't need to be too polite. Please get up soon." Chushi Youtian stood up and said.

Lan Huo stood up and took out the letter written by General Li. Eunuch Li hurried forward to take it.

Then he brought it to Chushi Youtian, "Your Majesty."

After Chushi Youtian took it, he quickly opened it. After reading it, Chushi Youtian couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect what he was worried about still happened.

The letter said that there were signs that Xiling was dispatching soldiers to Dongling recently. The letter also asked him to dispatch troops to the frontier fortress and made a safe plan!

Seeing Chushi Youtian's expression changed slightly at this time, Chushi Weiming said, "Father, if there is nothing else, I will leave and prepare first."

"Wait a minute." Chushi Youtian said at this time.

Hearing Chushi Youtian's words, Chushi Weiming asked, "Father, what else is there?"

"The rations sent to Jiandu are reduced by half." Chushi Youtian said.

Now, the border fortress was in an emergency, and rations must be provided in time. So Chushi Youtian decided to reduce the rations sent to Jiandu.

The frontier fortress should be provided first.

After Chushi Weiming heard this, he was puzzled, but he didn't ask more. He just obeyed the order and then said, "I'll leave first to prepare."

Chushi Youtian waved his hand.

After Chushi Weiming left, Chushi Youtian said to Lan Huo, "Go back and tell General Li that I will dispatch troops as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll return to report now." Lan Huo said and walked out of the Imperial Study.

After Lan Huo left, Chushi Youtian said to Eunuch Li, "Go and find General Cheng."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li replied and left Imperial Study.

At this moment, Chushi Youtian folded the letter. He hoped that they could save the day this time.

In the mansion of General Cheng, General Cheng was practicing swords. Although he was not young now, his posture was still brave.

When Eunuch Li arrived in the courtyard, he couldn't help clapping his hands and applauded, "General Cheng really has a good sword skill."

Hearing the sound, General Cheng put the sword away, "How come Eunuch Li has time to come here?"

"Today, the Emperor received an urgent message from the frontier fortress, so he asked me to come and invite General Cheng to the palace." Eunuch Li said.

After hearing this, General Cheng couldn't help frowning, "An urgent message? Eunuch Li, please wait for a moment. Let me change my clothes and then go to the palace with you."

"Well. Okay." Eunuch Li nodded.

In Imperial Study.

General Cheng hurriedly walked into Imperial Study, "Your Majesty, what happened to the border fortress?"

"General Cheng, calm down. Today, the letter from General Li states that Xiling had dispatched soldiers to Dongling. And, Jiandu was flooded this year. I'm afraid that Xiling will avail himself of the opportunity to get in!" Chushi Youtian said to General Cheng.

After hearing this, General Cheng nodded, "What do I need to do, Your Majesty?"

"I want to deploy three thousand guards from Jing City to the frontier fortress. We couldn't let Xiling take advantage of it!" Chushi Youtian said.

After hearing this, General Cheng asked, "Then... when will we leave for the border, Your Majesty?"

"You're going to make preparations today. And tomorrow morning, we will leave and bring the grain to the border fortress with the army." Chushi Youtian thought for a while.

It was the only way to bring the rations prepared over time to the frontier first. And then we find a way to purchase rations.

After hearing this, General Cheng nodded, "Your Majesty, I'm going to prepare now."

"Okay." Chushi Youtian responded.

Chushi Weiming returned to the mansion and walked to Liu Yiyi's residence.

"Husband, are you back?" Liu Yiyi saw Chushi Weiming and stood up.

Chushi Weiming nodded and then walked to Liu Yiyi. He supported Liu Yiyi to sit down, "Tomorrow, I will go to Jiandu to send rations. It is estimated that it will take some time to come back. You have to take care of yourself and let our children grow up safely."

Chushi Weiming said and touched Liu Yiyi's belly with his hand.

If it were in the past, Liu Yiyi would be shy when she heard these love words. While when she heard that Chushi Weiming was going to Jiandu, she immediately looked at Chushi Weiming with a worried expression, "Husband, I heard that the plague in Jiandu is very serious. Why did Father send you there? Let us ask mother to talk to him?"

"No, the plague in Jiandu has been brought under control. Besides, I am strong, so I won't contract the plague. You worried too much. Just take good care of yourself and wait for me." Chushi Weiming smiled at Liu Yiyi.

Listening to Chushi Weiming's words, Liu Yiyi had to say, "Ok, please take care of yourself."

"I know. And then I'm going to prepare." Chushi Weiming patted Liu Yiyi's hand and said.

Early the next morning, General Cheng took three thousand soldiers and horses, walking towards the border. The Third Prince Chushi Weiming took 2500-kilogram rations and two thousand taels of silver to Jiandu.

Now the treasury was empty, Chushi Youtian really didn't have too much silver to repair the dam in Jiandu.

But he didn't want to be discussed by the public, so he thought about it and decided to go to Jiandu.

In Jiandu.

Since the water source had been changed, the plague had been brought under control. Even people who were lying on the bed and unable to move could walk and move around now.

For the people in Jiandu, this was a good sign. It was the beginning that they escaped from bad luck!

During this period, Shuo Ling led the victims of Jiandu to rebuild the less damaged houses. After a few days, some people moved into their homes.

Every time Qiao Shu decocted medicinal herbs for Shuo Ling, Yang Zijin would intentionally watch from the side. She had suffered the losses from Qiao Shu before, but she would not fall twice on the same thing.

Yang Zijin could see that even though Qiao Shu was only the daughter of an imperial doctor, and her status was not noble, before she knew Shuo Ling, Qiao Shu could freely enter the mansion of Marquis.

Marquis Shuo used to keep away from women. Even the guards in the mansion were all male. Qiao Shu was the only woman he didn't guard against, but she never saw Shuo Ling had any feelings for Qiao Shu.

What happened to Qiao Shu and Shuo Ling before? It seemed that she should find a chance to ask Shuo Ling.
