Shen Xihe had no idea how far Xiao Huayong was thinking. She held the cup in her hand, not knowing whether to put it down or use it, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
She had already discovered that the more she spent time with Xiao Huayong, the less restrained and more casual she became. She had thought that after getting married, she would be uncomfortable with having someone by her side all the time, but on the contrary, she was getting more and more integrated with him, and even around him, she gradually revealed her true nature, and was so comfortable that she could let down her guard at any time.
Xiao Huayong looked at Shen Xihe with great interest. Her slightly moving eyes revealed the struggle in her heart.
The room was completely silent. Baisui and Short-Ming, who used to be able to interrupt her at any time in the East Palace, were no longer there. The sound of rain hitting the floor seemed to have been forgotten by her since she entered the room, rapid and chaotic, just like her heart at the moment.
Shen Xihe managed to calm down, as if he hadn't heard what Xiao Huayong said. He put down the cup with a self-assured look, "Your Highness Prince Jing is very shrewd. He was busy with disaster relief and didn't have time to think about it. In order to make the plan go smoothly, I had to let Your Highness Prince Jing get busy. Do you have any suggestions?"
Do you have any suggestions
Hearing this dry question, Xiao Huayong almost couldn't help laughing out loud. It was only then that he realized that his sharp-tongued wife's way of changing the subject was so abrupt.
Obviously, she had already made a plan in her mind, but she had to ask him a question to change the subject.
"The heavy rain is an obstacle to the transportation of food, cloth, medicinal materials and other items. Someone needs to keep an eye on them at all times. Why don't you leave this matter to him? He will naturally have no time to take care of it." Holding back his smile, Xiao Huayong replied seriously.
Shen Xihe nodded. This coincided with her opinion. According to Xiao Huayong's plan, transporting these things to the county was not the most difficult thing. The most difficult part was how to transport them to the city in the heavy rain without getting damp.
This is a delicate job that requires constant watching in the heavy rain to ensure that Xiao Changyan has no time to think about other things.
The people in the city had been eating half-full food for two days, and many of them began to feel weak. They relied on sleeping to survive the hunger. Due to the heavy rain, the water was extremely turbid, and they had limited food to eat, so they couldn't even get enough water to fill their stomachs.
Just when they were in despair, the government finally notified them that the food had arrived. They led the strong laborers who had been selected earlier and ran all the way to the cliff outside the city, almost leaving the county. The cliff was guarded by soldiers who had been standing upright for a long time.
The wooden stakes were deeply buried underground, and were firmly rooted in the already soft ground under the constant erosion of the heavy rain. Xiao Changyan and Xiao Changqing, who followed them, looked at them with flickering eyes, curious about how these stakes were firmly rooted.
Along the wooden piles are slightly swaying iron chains. The fact that the iron chains can be erected indicates that they are connected to the other side of the river. The thick fog obscures the view of the end, and below is a rushing river, roaring like a trapped angry dragon, making people afraid to get close to the edge.
"Where is the food?"
"Where do we go to transport the food?"
"Could it be a trick? The current is so fast, if they push us in, we might not even make a splash..."
The people were in panic and could not help but whisper. These voices were drowned out by the heavy rain and the sound of the river, but their restlessness was still clearly seen by Shen Xihe and others.
