Seeing that everyone was craning their necks to look at him, Chu Ren deliberately paused and refused to continue speaking.

He laughed, turned around to look at Chu Heyi beside him, and said to her in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot come to Yanzhou City to guard you, so he sent someone to deliver a surprise."

"What surprise?" Chu Heyi asked. She was really curious. The people were begging her to die, but her fourth brother still had the mind to tell her a surprise.

Chu Ren stretched his neck, looked towards the long road, and waved his arms to greet people in the distance.

A group of people led by Wangshan, riding on tall horses and leading a caravan, were rushing towards this side. The wheels were rolling, the carriages were rumbling, and the sound was so loud that it was shocking.

How is this going?

Not only the common people, but even the soldiers stretched their necks to look.

The convoy arrived.

Wangshan immediately dismounted and knelt before Chu Heyi to pay his respects, and the people behind him did the same.

"Wangshan, don't be polite, hurry up." Chu Heyi said. Seeing that they were making a big scene, he immediately asked, "What are you bringing?"

Wang Shan said loudly: "The Crown Princess fought hard on the front line, and everyone respected her. Thanks to the Crown Princess, the dignitaries in the capital knew that Yan, Lan and Yizhou City were seriously short of food and clothing after the war, so they donated a lot of food and clothing. The Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to bring people to deliver them, and everything will be arranged by the Crown Princess."

Chu Ren looked at Chu Heyi with a smile. This was the surprise that Xie Lin gave to Chu Heyi. He took the opportunity to establish her prestige, clear her of the rumors about the twin flowers, and tell the people that she was not an evil ghost but the lucky star of Da Qi.

"Everyone heard clearly, right? Because of the Crown Princess, the nobles are willing to donate food and clothing! Because of the Crown Princess, only after your fake prosperous bubble is burst, you can have food and clothing to survive this cold winter!"

Chu Ren's cold eyes swept over the crowd, murderous intent in his eyes, "From now on, if anyone says that the Crown Princess and Princess Cheng are twins or evil spirits, I will execute them on the spot and will not show any mercy!"

Wangshan and Baihua immediately repeated Chu Ren's words in loud and resounding voices.

The soldiers behind Wangshan and Baihua immediately followed them and repeated Chu Ren's words. Their voices were as powerful as a tidal wave, spreading Chu Heyi's reputation.

Hearing that Chu Ren and Baihua were in tears, even Chu Heyi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

She thought that Xie Lin must have forcibly suppressed the urge to come to Yanzhou City to guard her, suppressed a broken heart, collected the most food and clothing in the shortest time, and immediately asked Wangshan to bring soldiers to deliver them over.

Chu Ren held her hand, choking and saying excitedly: "Don't cry, if His Royal Highness knew that you woke up, he would definitely be glad that he didn't rush to Yanzhou City. He guarded the way home for you."

It would have been better if Fourth Brother didn't say anything. After he said that, Chu Heyi couldn't control her tears and burst out.

Wangshan stepped forward and handed over a letter: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that although the Crown Princess is busy and has no time to write to him, he is still willing to write to you."

Wangshan learned the news that Chu Heyi had escaped danger and woke up when he entered the territory of Yanzhou City. He had already shed tears at that time, so he could remain so calm at this moment.

He knew that as long as the Crown Princess was good, his Crown Prince would be good too.

As the prince's follower, this is all he asked for.

Chu Heyi took the letter with both hands, her tears fell on the envelope, and she wiped them away carefully.

She wanted to read the letter immediately, but she didn't want to read it in such a chaotic scene, as if she couldn't carefully appreciate every emotion of Xie Lin, so she put the letter into her lapel, flattened it carefully, and dealt with the things in front of her first.

The grain was stored in granaries and heavily guarded.

The people who came to cause trouble were released.

Chu Heyi sent a message: "Count the number of local people and the food. From now on, until the spring ploughing time next year, arrange for people to cook porridge and steamed buns every day. Each person can get a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun every day, and it will be distributed according to the number of people."

Word spread quickly.

Chu Heyi continued, "The food distributed is indeed not much. It can only ensure that everyone will not starve to death during this difficult special period. But the court will soon deliver affordable food. I can assure you that the price of food is the same as that in Shengjing City. At that time, everyone can buy it according to the number of people in each household.

"Anyone who dares to drive up the price will be punished by the imperial court, so don't worry!"

When the people received a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun according to their names on the first day, they completely believed Chu Heyi's words.

There wasn't a lot of porridge, but it wasn't too little either, it was the size of a bowl that ordinary people would use to drink porridge from. The steamed buns were the same, not too big, but not too small either, just the size of a man's fist.

"It seems that the story about the twin flowers is really a rumor. The Crown Princess does not have an evil ghost in her body at all, but a kind soul, and she is also the lucky star of our Daqi."

"Yes, I also think she is a lucky star. Miss Cai Ning was saved because she woke up. Miss Xu, who was already an old maid, found her true love because of her. If she is not a lucky star, what is she?"

"It is also because of her that the nobles in Shengjing City are willing to donate a large amount of food and clothing to us. I don't know if she is a lucky star for others, but she is definitely a lucky star for us!"

"The Crown Princess also said that she would send us affordable food. This must be true. We just need to wait."

The haze over Yan, Lan and Yizhou city was swept away, replaced by the people's expectations for the future.

As long as you have hope, you can survive, and the talk of ghosts and gods will disappear one day!

The tasks of registering the number of people and distributing porridge and food were carried out in an orderly manner. During this period, Chu Heyi only needed to give orders and did not need to do anything except taking good care of his health.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Chu Heyi could finally read carefully again the letter that Xie Lin wrote to her.

He wrote: "My wife agrees. Maybe you are still angry with me for stopping you from going to the war. That is why you have not written to me during this period. I do blame you, but I am more concerned about you.

"New Year is coming soon. The weather has suddenly turned cold and snow is falling. The plum blossoms in the corner are blooming beautifully. I want you to come back and give you a whole spring.

"If you still want to stay in Yanzhou City, remember to tell me in your dream how many bowls of rice you can eat now, what kind of vegetables you eat, and whether the medicine is bitter? What kind of medicine do you take? I asked Wangshan to bring you some candied fruit. If the medicine is bitter, eat one.

"I don't know when you will return. I really want to hear your voice. I have sent my thoughts to you in this letter. It will always be with you. I hope you will keep it carefully. I hope my Crown Princess will return soon. I wish my wife good health."

Signed: Xie Lin.

Chu Heyi's eyes fell on every word and he read very slowly, wishing that the letter could be longer.

What he wrote was "I wish you good health"!

I wish her good health.

Someone was walking up behind him, but Chu Heyi didn't notice until Baihua spoke up, "How many times have you read this letter? Isn't the Crown Princess tired of it?"

"Many times?" Chu Heyi blushed, but was confident.

"Not that many times. Including the one just now, it's only about fifty times."

Has it been so many times? Chu Heyi didn't notice it, but he really missed Xie Lin. When he was marching and fighting, he suppressed himself from thinking about him, fearing that he would become sick with longing. But now that the war is over, he really wants to go back to him now.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she can go back to him now. There is nothing wrong with leaving Yanzhou City to her fourth brother, Wangshan and others!
