Chu Heng looked at Xie Chaochao with complicated eyes, and his heart was filled with indescribable emotions. He knew that this queen who fought side by side with him was not only gentle as a mother of the country, but also tenacious and brave as a person who cared about the country. He secretly vowed that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would work hand in hand with Xie Chaochao to jointly protect every life on this land.

As the sun sets, everyone looks up.

Looking into the distance made me feel even more miserable.

This snow is not good.

The rescue operation of Queen Xie Chaochao and Emperor Chu Heng is still going on. Their figures stretch out in the afterglow, as if they have become the most solid support on this land.

A village woman, with ragged clothes and messy hair, and tears and dust on her face, held a pale, dying child tightly in her arms. The child's eyes were closed, and his small body was shaking constantly, as if he would disappear from this cruel world at any time. She stumbled into the gate of the palace, shouting: "Queen, save my child! Please, save him!"

The guards were stunned by the sudden scene, but then they reacted and tried to stop the dusty woman. However, the woman's eyes were full of determination in despair, and she rushed forward desperately, as if no force could stop her determination to save her son.

At this moment, a gentle but unquestionable voice was heard: "Let her in." It was the voice of Queen Xie Chaochao. She was standing at the gate of the palace not far away, her eyes as sharp as torches, seeing through everything.

The village woman seemed to have heard the sound of nature. She immediately quickened her pace and threw herself in front of Xie Chaochao, crying, "Empress, my child is dying. Please have mercy on him and save him!"

Xie Chaochao didn't hesitate for a moment. She quickly glanced at the child and understood a little. She immediately turned around and ordered the maid beside her: "Go, call the doctor, quickly!"

The maid took the order and left. After a while, the imperial physician came in hastily. He knelt beside the child and examined him carefully, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Xie Chaochao stood aside, her eyes fixed on the doctor's face, afraid of missing any details. She could feel her heartbeat speeding up and her palms sweating slightly, but she forced herself to stay calm because she knew that she couldn't fall down at this time.

The imperial physician finally raised his head, his voice solemn: "Your Majesty, the child is in critical condition and needs immediate treatment."

Xie Chaochao nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, we must save him. Imperial physician, you are in full charge. If you need any herbs, just go get them."

The imperial physician received the order and immediately began to get busy. He ordered the maids to prepare the herbs, while he concentrated on treating the child. The tense atmosphere in the palace reached its peak, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would disturb the imperial physician's treatment.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second was filled with endless torment. Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the imperial physician, the child's face gradually regained its color and his breathing became stable.

Seeing this, the village woman was so excited that she burst into tears. She knelt in front of Xie Chaochao and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you, Queen, thank you, Imperial Physician, you are my lifesavers!"

Xie Chaochao helped her up with a smile, a gentle light flashing in his eyes: "Get up quickly, I'm glad the child is okay. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up hope."

Empress Xie Chaochao frowned, her eyes revealing an unquestionable determination. She gently waved her hand, signaling the eunuch chief eunuch Li to come forward. Seeing this, Eunuch Li hurriedly bowed and waited carefully for the Empress's instructions.

"Eunuch Li," the queen said in a deep and powerful voice, "you should quickly go to the city gate and carefully check if there are any civilians who are unwell due to the recent natural disasters. If there are any, no matter how serious their illness is, bring them to the palace. I will personally inquire about their safety."

Eunuch Li was shocked when he heard this, knowing that this matter was of great importance. He hurriedly responded and turned to leave, but was stopped by the Queen.

"Wait a minute!" The Queen took out an exquisite jade pendant from her sleeve and gently placed it in Eunuch Li's hand. "This is my personal belonging. Take it to show the people and tell them that I am with them and will never abandon them."

Eunuch Li took the jade pendant and felt it was heavy, as if it carried the Queen's love and trust. He did not dare to neglect it, and hurried out of the hall and headed straight for the city gate.

At this time, the city gate was already a busy scene. The people affected by the disaster were sitting or lying down, their faces full of fatigue and helplessness. When Eunuch Li arrived, he immediately directed his eunuchs to carefully help those people who could still move and prepare to take them to the palace.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid coughing broke the noise. An elderly woman, in ragged clothes and pale, was lying on the ground with difficulty, and it seemed that she didn't even have the strength to get up. Seeing this, Eunuch Li hurried forward, personally helped the old woman up, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, old lady, the Queen has ordered that you be taken to the palace for treatment."

A trace of tears flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she thanked him weakly: "Thank you, eunuch, thank you, Queen..."

Led by Eunuch Li, a group of dishevelled civilians, some holding crutches, some supported by young eunuchs, slowly walked towards the palace. Although they still looked tired and worried, their eyes were shining with gratitude and expectation for the queen.

Meanwhile, Empress Xie Chaochao was waiting anxiously in the palace. She stood up from time to time, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, as if she could see the people approaching her through the palace walls. Her heart was filled with a sense of urgency and responsibility, and she knew that her every move was related to the life and death of these innocent people.

With a burst of hurried footsteps, Eunuch Li and a group of people finally appeared at the door of the hall. Queen Xie Chaochao immediately went to greet them, her eyes swept over everyone, as if she was cheering them up with her eyes.

"I'm here, you don't have to panic." The queen's voice was firm and gentle, like a warm current that warmed everyone's heart.

Xie Chaochao looked at them expectantly, hoping that everyone would survive.

If something really happened, I would be really upset. Thinking of this, I sighed.

I feel very unhappy, and I can’t express this feeling in words.
