Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 374 Princess Rouan 24

And Lingyi's opportunity to use people came very quickly.

Winter came early and was cold that year. Overnight, a blanket of white snow covered the world, making it impossible to see any other colors.

The cold wind howled outside the window, but fortunately, the princess's residence was connected to the floor with an underground heating system, and there was a small stove on the bed that kept the temperature high, allowing the princess to sleep soundly until dawn without being disturbed by the outside temperature.

However, she knew that in this country, very few people could live the same kind of life as her.

Most people shiver in the cold, and in areas with heavy snow, houses collapse under the weight of the snow, and entire families perish in the winter.

Ling Yi gazed at the vast expanse of white snow outside the window, her expression solemn.

Natural disasters are unavoidable. What the court can do now is to do its utmost to provide disaster relief and prevent man-made disasters from occurring.

Fortunately, before winter arrived, Princess Rou'an had the Imperial Observatory use human superstition to predict that there would be heavy snow this winter, and she also had various regions and the capital prepare some disaster relief materials.

These measures will certainly not make everyone better, but they can save as many lives as possible.

Human strength has its limits. Ling Yi is not naive enough to believe that no one will die this winter, but she will do her best to make the most of this human strength.

"I disagree!" Emperor Tianwu's expression changed drastically upon hearing his daughter's words.

Because his daughter, who had almost never left the capital, told him that she was going to Yan and Zhao to check on the snow disaster situation.

How can this be!

Putting aside the inherent danger of traveling in the dead of winter, how could his daughter, a relatively frail young woman, do such a thing...?

He had a thousand reasons to refuse, but when he saw Ling Yi's determined gaze, he was speechless.

Ling Yi looked at her father's furrowed brows and asked, "Besides me, who else can we send?"

"Is it the ailing Crown Prince, or one of the other brothers who lack ability?" Ling Yi's words were anything but polite: "What can they do besides cause trouble if they go?"

"Why do local officials have to deal with disaster relief while also dealing with their ancestors?"

His Highness the Crown Prince, standing to one side: "..."

I haven't offended you, so why do you keep stabbing your brother in the back?

The emperor frowned: "Then send out ministers!"

"All three are over seventy years old. Aren't you afraid they'll stay there forever?"

Ling Yi said without room for doubt, "I am young and capable, and no one is more suitable to be this imperial envoy than me."

She patted the folded document on the table: "Don't you believe me?"

How could Emperor Tianwu not trust his daughter?

Her actions over this period of time have been evident to all, and even the senior officials in the court show her more respect when they see her.

Except for the Imperial Censor.

The old man still doesn't quite like Ling Yi.

But Ling Yi didn't care. After a while, she would strip the prime minister of his power, and then even more people would dislike her.

The emperor gazed at his daughter, whose fiery gaze, burning brightly even in the winter heat, finally nodded after a long while: "Very well!"

"But you must bring enough soldiers and physicians, so as not to worry your father."

The arrival of royal family members was an extremely exciting event, and he would not allow other useless people to embarrass him, nor would he allow them to grow up and cause trouble for the stable court.

Ling Yi curled her lips into a smile: "I'm still young, and I'm terrified of dying, so I'll naturally bring everything I need."

The emperor sensed something was off about the tone of the words, his expression changed abruptly, and he turned to leave, but Ling Yi grabbed his sleeve.

"On the contrary, you are getting on in years and cannot stay up late or worry. You need to have the imperial physician by your side at all times so that my brother and I will not have to worry."

After cosplaying as an upright official and making the emperor beg for mercy, Ling Yi happily returned to her residence to prepare for her trip.

Yes, not only her personal belongings, but also the medicinal herbs, food, and cloth brought by the disaster relief team, all required her inspection.

Upon learning of this news, the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture sent his subordinates to cooperate with Ling Yi without hesitation, showing no intention of seizing power.

His predecessor was ousted by the princess, and he, at his advanced age, had worked so hard to reach this position; he certainly didn't want to be ousted again for offending the princess.

Being able to step down from the position of one of the Nine Ministers was an extremely important matter for him and his family.

Ling Yi was naturally happy to have someone delegate authority, and she significantly increased the value of what she was taking with her.

There are too many places in the capital where money should not be spent, so let's make things difficult for the officials!

As people came and went at the princess's residence, Wang Suizhi also hurriedly returned from the palace. Looking at the prince who was carefully writing down his plans, he asked, "The north is cold. Should I also bring a fox fur coat?"

Ling Yi paused, looked up at Wang Suizhi who was subtly inquiring about whether they could travel together, and smiled.

"Young Master Wang is delicate and frail, I suggest you bring two."

Wang Suizhi's tense expression instantly softened into a gentle smile, and she nodded: "Okay."

He paused, then asked, "This time, should we bring the other members of the Wang family along?"

With so many disaster-stricken areas, why did Lingyi choose to go there?

Isn't it because the Du family's headquarters are over there?

Whether it was the local garrison, the local officials, the gentry, or the wise men, they were all members of the Du family.

A major disaster is a calamity for the common people, but also an opportunity for powerful families. Wang Suizhi knew the temperament of these families well and naturally knew that they would take this opportunity to annex land and hide the population.

That's when the Wang family comes in handy, isn't it?

Using the children of their family, who are now their long-time allies and close relatives, to investigate them is truly the most appropriate thing to do!

With him, the hidden eldest son of the Wang family, leading the way, and with other members of the Wang family acting as vanguards, he can guarantee that the Du family will have a winter they will never forget!

This will also make the Du family extremely grateful to the Wang family's ancestors for eight generations.

Ling Yi had already included this matter in her plans, so when Wang Suizhi brought it up, she naturally had no objections.

but……

She raised her eyes, her gaze full of mockery: "This matter is of great importance. We should inform the head of the Wang family first to show that it is serious enough."

Wang Suizhi's lips curled slightly, his demeanor extremely respectful: "The Wang family makes all decisions under the patriarch's authority. How could we not inform you of such an important matter?"

That very evening, the head of the Wang family received a request for an audience from his eldest son. Upon hearing the news, his eyes slowly lit up: "Is this true?"

Wang Suizhi nodded coldly: "Your Highness has already agreed to take me with you, and I will certainly not allow the Wang family's allies to be wronged."

Upon hearing this, he paced around the hall twice, then suddenly turned to look at Wang Suizhi and said in a deep voice, "No!"

What's wrong with allies?

The ally doesn't have the surname Wang, and the Wang family doesn't do charity.
