This won’t work

Wei Zhongming felt that his flattery towards Su Ying was a bit too natural.

He kept telling himself that this was just a fake and there was no need to be afraid of her!

"Wei Zhongming."

"Yes, Madam, what are your orders?" Wei Zhongming bowed in front of Su Ying. He was so flattering, just to paralyze Su Ying and prevent her from discovering the flaw!

"Being good these days."

Wei Zhongming grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears, "Your Majesty, you are so ridiculous. It is the duty of a lower official to think about the people."

Su Ying raised her eyelids and glanced at him. Wei Zhongming looked like an upright official. He had a thin and small figure. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few ounces of flesh on his cheeks, he would really look like a human-shaped skeleton.

Just looking at this look, he really doesn't look like someone who dared to hack into the imperial granary.

What she just said was not a lie. Wei Zhongming's work ability is indeed good. Otherwise, given his humble background, he would not have been able to climb to this position without some ability.

Looking at Su Ying's running back, Wei Zhongming became more and more sure that Su Ying was a fake. Which queen was as hands-on as her?

"Well, let's serve it."

"Back off."

Su Ying rode a horse and led people to the foot of the mountains thirty miles away.

"yes."

She felt that maybe she was overthinking it. Why did some of the words and actions of the palace in front of her look similar to the young master?

Furthermore, since the Queen appeared, she has never seen the Young Master again.

This dish looks simple and unpretentious, but the bean sprout soup uses thick chicken soup, and the eggs are filled with meat. The last stir-fried meat is made of boneless fish. At this juncture, you can still eat fish.

, even for wealthy people, it is difficult to have a mouthful of fresh fish in this current situation, but Wei Zhongming got it for Su Ying.

Zhou Qing lowered the bed curtain, blew out the lights in the room, and left.

Su Ying took out her telescope and looked at the mountains, her brows furrowed.

A bowl of bean sprouts and egg drop soup, as well as a scrambled egg and a radish stewed with meat.

"Your Majesty, you've been tired for a long day, why don't you have dinner first?" Zhou Qing stepped forward and asked softly.

Wei Zhongming took out a map from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table. He reached out and pointed at a mountain range outside Luocheng.

"This Master Wei is really a quick thinker."

"But even half a month is still better than not having a drop of water at all. There will be a lot of people fleeing the disaster going there, so at least there will be a glimmer of hope."

The mountains on the map are about thirty miles away from Luo City. As soon as they left the city, they found that many victims had arrived outside the city. If this continued, there would be no room for resettlement outside Luo City.

"That area, that area has the official road, which is to go around the foot of the mountains."

"Go back to your Majesty, I have lived in this village at the foot of the mountain since I was a child and I am very familiar with this place. Madam, where do you want to go? I will take you there."

"There are many of us, don't be afraid, hurry up and go up the mountain."

Early the next morning, Su Ying left the city after having breakfast.

"If it goes quickly, it will take five days or seven days. If it goes slowly, it will probably take half a month."

"Nanjiang is behind these mountains?"

Su Ying saw that Wei Zhongming's words were pertinent and imagined that if this was an easy move, he would have no reason to refuse. After all, the political achievements were his.

"It's right at the junction of Lincheng and Luocheng. It's actually not that far away."

"Your Majesty, please take your time to enjoy your meal. I will retire now."

Zhou Qing stood on the side and watched Su Ying's eating movements, which became more and more familiar to her.

"Empress, let's have something to eat." Zhou Qing handed the hot steamed buns and dried meat to Su Ying.

Zhou Qing put the food on the table, including two dishes and one soup.

"Take me around from the mountains to Nanjiang."

"yes."

"First find an open space to settle the victims who came here today, and don't let them cause trouble."

She looked at the mountains on the map and suddenly thought of a good way to provide disaster relief, but she needed further confirmation to know whether this method would work.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Ying slowly opened her eyes and asked the guards to get some wet soil and put it around the fire to prevent it from being blown by the mountain wind at night and causing a mountain fire.

"Then if you want to get to Nanjiang, which way do you usually take?"

"Yes, empress."

"Oh? Why?"

It was already dark when Su Ying finished asking about the detailed geological conditions of that area.

Su Ying turned the horse's head and walked towards the official road, "How long does it take to reach Nanjiang via the official road?"

"I heard that when the disaster first started, some people went to the government to suggest to you that you should introduce water from the south to relieve the disaster. Is this possible?"

After eating, Su Ying simply washed up and lay down on the bed. She would get up early tomorrow to go to the mountains to check the situation.

Wei Zhongming's face froze, and he said with a helpless expression: "Go back to my wife, there is something like this, but it just won't work at all."

Su Ying will not have trouble with food, Wei Zhongming will just teach him a lesson afterwards.

After Wei Zhongming left, Zhou Qing walked into the house carrying the food box.

Su Ying sat under a tree and adjusted her breathing, while Zhou Qing was waiting aside with a water bag and dry food.

"Where is this place?"

"Mother, I'm afraid there will be ferocious beasts in this mountain. It's too dangerous." Zhou Qing said worriedly. There is a drought around Luo City now. Not only people are short of water, but animals are also short of water. They will also find ways to go to places with water.

Go, there is a high possibility of encountering wild beasts while walking on mountain roads at this time.

Fortunately, the mountains in this area were not too steep and one could still walk on horseback. However, the walking speed was still much slower. They did not reach the mountainside until dark. The road was not easy to walk at night, so they could only find a place to stay temporarily.

We'll continue our journey tomorrow morning.

"There are mountains connecting Luocheng and the Nanjiang River. If you want to divert the water from the Nanjiang River, you have to bypass these mountains. How much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent? Luocheng has been able to withstand the impact of the disaster. If

Luo City cannot afford to spend so much money to dig mountains and channels."

Su Ying took a deep breath, letting the breath travel throughout the body, opening up blocked meridians, thereby relieving fatigue and enhancing Yang Qi.

Su Ying ate some dry food in the afternoon after leaving the city today. Zhou Qing couldn't imagine that someone as delicate as the Queen could still keep her face from blushing and her heart not beating when she was so tired that she was riding horses and climbing mountains.

She sincerely admired the queen, who really cared about the people.

Su Ying took it and ate it directly into her mouth.

Su Ying nodded slightly, reined in her horse, stopped, and said to the officer leading the way: "Are you familiar with this mountain?"

Zhou Qing thought of a possibility, but she didn't dare to think about it because it wasn't something she should know.

She made the fire bigger to prevent any wild animals from attacking.

The clerk who guided Su Ying responded: "Yes, it is behind these mountains. This is why it is so difficult to bring water from the Nanjiang River."

The night on the mountain was colder. As soon as she was full, Su Ying leaned against the tree trunk and felt sleepy. She yawned and slowly closed her eyes.

Within a moment, all the accompanying guards fell asleep, and Zhou Qing also slept at Su Ying's feet.

The only sound left in my ears was the crackling of branches in the fire.

At this time, a sleeping figure stood up in the darkness.
