The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Cheng Jiuyuan came out of the cave and wrote a note.

He took out a jade whistle from his waist, put it to his lips and blew it gently. A clear sound like a bird's song resounded throughout Yunwu Mountain.

Soon, a carrier pigeon flew from a distance, circled over Cheng Jiuyuan's head, and then landed on her shoulder.

Cheng Jiuyuan put the note into its foot tube.

"Go."

After letting the pigeon go, she went down the mountain, had lunch at the market at the foot of the mountain, bought some cooked food and walked back.

She entered the cave carrying her things. When she saw the people inside the cave, her eyes widened instantly and she quickly turned her back.

Chu Heng didn't expect that she would come back suddenly, and walk without making any sound.

"Didn't you go to collect herbs? My clothes are soaked and stick to me. I..."

He took the clothes from the fire and put them on quickly.

Hearing his somewhat embarrassed voice, Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly felt less embarrassed.

She is a doctor, what hasn't she seen?

Chu Heng is her patient, just a good-looking patient.

Cheng Jiuyuan put down his things and left the cave without saying a word.

For three consecutive days, Cheng Jiuyuan came on time to change his dressings and bring him food.

On the fourth day, Cheng Jiuyuan came to the cave again, but there was no sign of Chu Heng. Only a letter was left.

Cheng Jiuyuan opened the envelope, and there was only a sentence and the crescent jade inside.

"Heng will definitely repay you for saving my life."

Cheng Jiuyuan touched the jade.

As fate would have it, the jade finally fell into her hands.

Cheng Jiuyuan put away the jade and turned to leave.

As soon as she returned to the Pei family, Mu Jin gave her the information.

"Miss, I was just about to send you to Yunwu Mountain."

Cheng Jiuyuan unfolds the intelligence.

It turned out to be the case.

There have been heavy rains in Loudong for several days, and the dike at the sea estuary has burst, affecting many people.

Disaster relief is the most difficult and risky job, but it is also the one that wins the hearts of the people.

Yes, Chu Ze and Prince Jing are now fighting each other, and it will be even more dangerous to leave the capital.

No wonder Chu Heng came.

Only after seeing the second half of the information did Cheng Jiuyuan frown.

The relief grain was stolen and Chu Heng was being hunted.

There is no doubt that the people chasing Chu Heng are either Prince Jing's men or Chu Ze's men.

They did not dare to leave the capital, nor did they want other princes to achieve merit.

Isn't this just leaving the people of Loudong to die?

Cheng Jiuyuan walked out of Cuizhu Garden.

Song Lan came in with some cakes and said, "Girl, would you like to have some snacks before you leave?"

"Leave it there. I'll come back and use it later."

When they arrived at the front hall and saw the housekeeper, Cheng Jiuyuan asked, "Uncle Pei, where is my uncle?"

"The master is in the study."

Cheng Jiuyuan went to the study again.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan coming in, Pei Xiu smiled and said, "Yuan'er is back? Look, this is the revenue from the capital last month..."

"Uncle, just take a look at this. Yuan'er wants to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"I need a batch of food."

"How difficult is this? How much does it cost?"

"As many as you want."

"What do you want so much food for?"

Over the years, her uncle has always trusted and supported her unconditionally. Except for the fact that he didn't know about her rebirth, she never hid anything else from him.

Cheng Jiuyuan told the truth and expressed his thoughts.

Pei Xiu frowned: "Yuan'er has a chivalrous heart and can't bear to see the people suffer."

"But in this way, the Pei family's actions will definitely attract the attention of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince."

"Uncle, prepare the food first and wait for my news. I have a way to keep the Pei family out of this."

"Well."

Cheng Jiuyuan returned to her own yard and asked Mu Jin to prepare some clothes for her.

"Girl, you just came back and you're going on a long journey again?" Song Lan asked.

"Well, I'm going back to Beijing soon. I'll have fewer days like this."

Cheng Jiuyuan ate two pieces of snacks, picked up his bag, rode a fast horse and set off.

She didn't tell her uncle that she was going to Loudong, because her uncle would definitely not allow it.

After leaving Gusu, we encountered several waves of refugees along the way.

The closer you get to Loudong, the more serious the disaster is.

On the way, Cheng Jiuyuan also dealt with a group of bandits who blocked the road and rescued a group of refugees.

Instead of fleeing, this group of refugees headed back.

"Auntie, the disaster in Loudong is serious. Why are we rushing to Loudong?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked.

"Miss, our ancestors have lived in Loudong for generations. Who would want to leave their hometown unless they had no choice? I heard that the court sent a prince to provide disaster relief. We are saved."

"Girl, are you hungry? I still have half a steamed bun here, you can have it."

This girl had just saved them all from the bandits, and they were very grateful to her.

Even if her own grandson was crying with hunger, she would give her remaining food to his savior.

Cheng Jiuyuan naturally didn't want it.

In fact, there was dry food and a lot of silver in her bag, but in such an environment, she would not take out the things.

She had learned thoroughly in her previous life that it was a crime to possess a treasure.

The human heart cannot stand the test.

"Auntie, I'll go first, you guys be careful."

Cheng Jiuyuan had left the horse in a small town. Although the famine had not yet reached the point where people had to eat their own children, the victims he had met before were eager to run up and eat the horse alive.

When we arrived in Loudong, the area hardest hit by the disaster, we realized that the disaster here was more serious than we had imagined.

The people are poor and penniless, the streets are filled with starving people, thieves are everywhere, and there is no way to beg for alms.

Many houses collapsed, and even for those that did not collapse, the food in the homes had been washed away by the flood, leaving only empty shells.

The flood receded, leaving the ground covered with mud.

Many elderly, weak, women, children, or people with limited mobility sat at the doorstep, waiting to die with lifeless eyes.

In the past few years, Cheng Jiuyuan has traveled to many places with his master and has seen life and death.

But at this moment, this scene still made her heart ache.

This city seems to be covered with mud, without any color at all.

It was still drizzling.

She was holding an umbrella, wearing a blue shirt and a white veil covering her face, and she walked slowly on this street full of despair.

……

Inside the Loudong government office, a group of people were sitting in a room with frowns on their faces.

“Fifth Prince, upon hearing that you are here, many victims who fled the famine are rushing back. But once they come back, they will find that they have no food and there will definitely be unrest. What should we do?” Zhuang Yumian, the magistrate of Loudong County, was only thirty years old, but his hair turned gray in just a few days.

Chu Heng tapped his slender fingers on the table. He looked at Zhuang Yumian and asked, "How much food is left in the city?"

"If we give out porridge, it will only last for three days."

Zhuang Yumian felt a little resentful towards the Fifth Prince. If he didn't have a fine steel drill, he shouldn't have taken on this porcelain job.

How can we provide disaster relief if we can’t even keep the food for disaster relief?

But even if he is not favored, he is still a prince.

What's more, he almost lost his life during this trip to Loudong.

Chu Heng didn't care about Zhuang Yumian's attitude.

He gave a wry smile.

How could a powerless man like him resist those two people from the capital?

The relief food was gone, but fortunately he let Chi Zhang go ahead with the relief funds.

But now the people have been hungry for many days, and it is too late to go out and look for food or buy food. Besides, there are not enough people.

At this time, Xuan Qing came in from outside and said with a bow, "Your Highness, there is a girl named Pei Yuan outside who wants to see you. She said she has a way to solve Loudong's predicament."
