Disaster relief was different from other things. Disaster relief was very difficult.
She wanted to let Chu Xuanchen know that she wasn't that weak.
She didn't just rely on him to protect her. She could also help him and become his right-hand woman.
Chu Xuanchen placed his hands on her shoulders. "Yue'er, I'm willing to go through fire and water for the people, but I don't want you to put yourself in danger. There will be many dangers and difficulties along the way. I don't want you to suffer. "
Yun Ruoyue shook her head. "I'm not afraid. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of any difficulties or obstacles. Besides, I'll miss you when you're not by my side. I can't bear to let you go. "
As Yun Ruoyue spoke, she hugged him gently and leaned her head against his chest.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative. Chu Xuanchen was very touched.
How could he be willing to be separated from her?
Suddenly, he thought of the empress and the others.
If he wasn't by her side, they would definitely harm her again.
If they were outside and he was there to protect her, he wouldn't be afraid no matter how difficult the conditions were. As long as he could see her, he would feel at ease.
If he couldn't see her, his heart would be on tenterhooks.
When he thought of this, he said, "Okay, Yue'er, you'll come with me. When the time comes, you'll pretend to be a doctor. But you're pregnant, so we have to be careful and slow. "
"Okay, don't worry. I'll take care of my body."
She would only feel at ease if she stayed by Chu Xuanchen's side.

After Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue finished discussing, they began to prepare for the fundraising.
However, it wasn't easy to get money from the aristocrats.
Therefore, he sent out invitations and invited all the aristocrats, rich gentry, landlords, and merchants to Mingyue Restaurant for a meal.
At first, when everyone heard that The Emperor of Li was inviting them to a meal, they all thought it was a normal gathering, so they all came.
However, when they arrived and heard that Chu Xuanchen had invited everyone to raise money for the disaster victims, everyone regretted coming.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
At the table, Chu Xuanchen raised his wine cup and looked at the crowd indifferently. He said, "Everyone, the people of Jiangnan have lost their homes and are starving. The people are homeless and have no food to eat. They even trade their children for food. The Emperor ordered Wang to collect the disaster relief fund so that he could rush to Jiangnan to help the victims. You are all the pillars of the Chu State, so you all have a kind heart. Now that the Chu Country has reached its most critical moment, Wang hopes that everyone can contribute a bit of love to the Chu Country by donating money so that the people can have enough to eat and wear, rebuild their homes, and stabilize the situation of the Chu Country. "
When everyone heard this, their faces fell one by one. They were extremely unwilling.
Yun Ruoyue stood at the side. She was a little surprised when she saw the reluctant faces of these people.
In modern times, whenever there was a disaster, the whole nation would donate money and participate in the disaster relief.
But these nobles were so indifferent, as if the lives of the common people were not worth their lives at all.
She looked at this group of wealthy people with some disappointment. The money they earned by controlling the basic necessities of the people should be taken from the people and used for the people.
But now, they were unwilling.
Seeing that everyone was unwilling, Chu Xuanchen did not get angry. He said, "Everyone here is an aristocrat and a rich family. We have money, but the common people are the cornerstone of stability. Only when the society is stable and the common people are happy can you all live a carefree life. Otherwise, once the common people riot and start fighting, no one will be able to escape at that time! If you help others today, others will come to help you tomorrow. Wang will take the lead and donate one hundred thousand taels in the name of The Emperor of Li. "
