Ordinary people have never seen a hot weapon as powerful as a pistol.

Everyone was shocked. They were a little afraid of Gu Lingshuang, but hunger forced them to bite the bullet and walk into the yamen.

It was the first time for the common people to enter the prefect's mansion. The vermilion gate outside was luxurious enough, but when they walked in and saw the pavilions and towers, they were all shocked by the beautiful scenery before them.

Inside the mansion and outside the mansion are simply two different worlds.

The outside world is a purgatory on earth, while the inside world is like a paradise on earth.

The common people were all pale and skinny, but the prefect was bloated and fat.

The common people all felt hatred towards the prefect.

The officials should consider the people first, but they had a corrupt official. If the queen had come a few days later, they would have starved to death.

Even if they don't starve to death, they will be infected and die of plague.

Although the Queen's methods were a bit overbearing, she really did consider them sincerely. She allowed them to enter the magnificent government office and even prepared food for them.

No one among the common people doubted Gu Lingshuang's words, because there was nothing left to exploit from them.

Gu Lingshuang gave Xia He a wink, and Xia He immediately understood. She went to the kitchen and ordered the cooks to cook quickly, the more the better.

Gu Lingshuang led the people to the main hall.

The banquet in the main hall was still going on, and the common people looked at the table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat and all began to swallow their saliva.

Gu Lingshuang said, "There is only one table of food here at the moment. It's because the prefect and his aunt were having dinner when I came in. With so many of you, one table of food is definitely not enough."

Hearing this, disappointment appeared in the eyes of the people.

Yes, there are more than a hundred people here, and one table is not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

Before they could get discouraged, Gu Lingshuang said, "But you don't need to worry. I have already rushed to the kitchen to cook. You just need to wait for a while. As for the food on this table, the weak, the elderly, women and children will eat it first. What do you think?"

Hope arises in the hearts of the people.

They have been hungry for two or three days, so it doesn't matter if they wait a little longer.

A man who was still relatively strong said, "We all support the Queen's arrangement."

"Yes, listen to the Queen."

Gu Lingshuang met their trusting eyes, nodded, and said, "Now, the elderly or children among you who are particularly weak, please come out."

After a while, an old man and a child who were skin and bones appeared. They were shaky even when they walked, their faces were as pale as paper, their lips were cracked, and they looked very sick.

Gu Lingshuang's eyes deepened. With so many people gathered together, there must be people infected with the plague among them.

Medical conditions were limited in ancient times, and it was not realistic to isolate them temporarily.

Gu Lingshuang thought about it, took out the detoxification pills she had developed from the space, crushed them and put them into the soup.

The common people looked at her actions with puzzlement on their faces.

Gu Lingshuang took the initiative to explain: "Some of you must have been infected with the plague. This medicine of mine can cure the plague. Each of you will drink a bowl of it later. It can cure the disease if you have it, and prevent it if you don't."

None of the common people doubted her. They were already like this, so there was no need for her to harm them.

If she really wanted to harm them, she could just not let them in and let them starve to death. There was no need to go to so much trouble.

After the old man and the child sat down, each of them drank a bowl of soup and then began to eat it with relish.

Looking at them wolfing down the food, Gu Lingshuang felt very uncomfortable.

She looked away, trying not to let herself cry.

Then she led the others out of the main hall.

The area outside was very spacious, and she ordered people to place tables and chairs in the yard. After waiting for about an incense stick of time, the food in the kitchen was ready and was brought up one by one.

Gu Lingshuang crushed the pill again and put it into the soup.

Seeing these delicious foods, the people trusted Gu Lingshuang even more.

The Queen is indeed a good person. They have never heard of the Queen personally coming to the epidemic area to calm the people.

The Queen of their Great Xia Kingdom is simply a living Bodhisattva and the true mother of the country.

Everyone enjoyed the meal with great relish.

After they finished their meal, Gu Lingshuang arranged accommodation for them.

They hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. When their bodies hit the bed, they fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

They slept for a whole day and night.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next day.

Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, as if they had never been hungry or sick.

This was because Gu Lingshuang's medicine worked and cured their illnesses overnight, and their healthy bodies also felt better.

After the common people had finished their meal and started to rebel, Gu Lingshuang held a meeting for them.

"There are many people sick in the epidemic area, and there are many homeless people. My strength alone is limited. I hope you can help me."

Seeing how sincere she was, the common people were all pleased and convinced.

"We are willing to obey the Queen's orders."

"Our lives were given by the Queen. As long as the Queen says the word, we can do anything you ask us to do."

"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen."

Gu Lingshuang looked at them with a smile. The people are always the most lovely people, no matter in ancient times or modern times. As long as the people support the government's work, then this work will become extremely simple and smooth.

"Thank you for your support. I will definitely not let you down."

"Now, I am going out to rescue the people. Is there anyone willing to go with me?"

"We do. We do."

Everyone expressed their willingness, whether they were old people, children or women, they all looked at Gu Lingshuang with eyes full of trust.

They followed Gu Lingshuang with an unstoppable courage and determination.

Xia He walked up to Gu Lingshuang and said, "My Lady, the porridge is ready."

"Well, send someone to transport it to the city gate."

Xia He went to make the arrangements, while Gu Lingshuang led the people to the city gate.

When they arrived, the porridge stall had already been set up.

She put the detoxification pills into the porridge and began to distribute the porridge.

The disaster-stricken people lined up in long queues, and those who had enough food and drink also began to provide relief to the people.

From that day on, Gu Lingshuang worked with the people to rescue the disaster-stricken people, and even isolated those infected with the plague and assigned special people to take care of them.

She worked on disaster relief during the day and developed medicines at night. In just seven days, Gu Lingshuang lost a lot of weight, and Xia He felt distressed when she saw it.

"My lady, it's getting late. You should go to bed."

Gu Lingshuang shook her head: "There are too many people who need help, and I have too little medicine. I will refine another furnace."

Xia He looked at her exhausted appearance for the people and felt helpless.

She wanted to help Gu Lingshuang, but she knew nothing about pharmacology and could not help at all.
