Consort King Of Zhao looked at the electric shock device curiously. "Sister, this thing is really magical. I haven't seen it before. Are you saying that there's electricity in it that can electrocute people? "
"Yes, there's electricity in it. It's very powerful, so it can't be used to electrocute people. However, if anyone dares to bully you, they'll be in danger! "Yun Ruoyue handed the electric shock device to Consort King Of Zhao.
Consort King Of Zhao immediately felt that this thing was very powerful.
She took it in her hand and looked at it before saying, "Thank you, sister. Don't worry, I'll take good care of it. I'll return it to you when you come back from the disaster relief. "
"Alright, I hope that you'll give birth to the child safely and that you'll never need it," Yun Ruoyue said.

The auction held by the empress actually earned a total of 1.5 million taels of silver.
In addition to the 50 taels she had previously raised, she actually raised two million taels of silver in just two days.
She didn't stop after raising two million taels of silver.
She asked Consort Wei to use her prestige as the empress to continue raising money among the people and strive to raise three million taels of silver.
Sure enough, when the people in the capital heard that there was a flood in Jiangnan, even the empress personally came out to raise money to save people.
They were moved and started to donate five copper coins, ten copper coins, five taels, or ten taels of silver.
There was an old man who swept the floor and even donated three taels of silver that he had saved for many years to Consort Wei's box.
There were also some people who already had difficulties in life who donated more than half of their rice to Consort Wei's carriage.
The people worked together for their families and were united. In just three days, they had donated more than one million taels of silver!
Therefore, on the night of the third day, when Consort Wei sent someone to count the money, she discovered that the empress had actually raised three million taels of silver in three days!
She couldn't believe it.
She hurriedly entered the palace and came to Ronghua Palace. "Sister, we're rich. It seems that the flood in Jiangnan is really serious this time. The people are really pitiful. In the past, we could only raise a few hundred thousand taels of silver at most, but this time, we actually raised three million taels of silver. That's a tenth of our national treasury! "
"What? The Empress was eating watermelon. Hearing this, she stood up with joy. "You've raised so much?"
"It's true. The concubines and concubines donated, plus the money raised from the auction, and the commoners donated one copper coin at a time. In total, it's 3,050,000 taels of silver! Sister, the momentum is so good now. Do you think we should continue to raise funds? "Madam Wei asked.
The Empress thought for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "I don't think we can raise anymore. There must be a limit to everything. When the moon is full, it will suffer losses. When the water is full, it will overflow. What we have is enough! If we continue to raise money and rob all of Chu Xuanchen's money, causing him to be unable to raise a single cent, I'm afraid that he'll act out of desperation and cause trouble. Tomorrow, we'll stop fundraising and focus on disaster relief instead! "
"Elder Sister is right. We've already raised three million taels, so we can stop now. Sister, what kind of disaster relief method are you going to use tomorrow? "
The Empress smiled, "Just like before, just take a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, set up a shop, buy some rice, cook some porridge, and give it to the poor. This time, too many commoners have starved to death. You've given out porridge for seven days in a row to show bengong's benevolence. As for the rest of the money, just like before, you can keep it in your estate. When this storm blows over, we'll split the money! "
"But Sister, we've raised so much money this time. Even if we give out porridge for seven days, we'll only spend a few tens of thousands of taels of silver at most. When the time comes, won't it arouse suspicion? Won't people say that we've raised so much money for disaster relief? "Madam Wei asked worriedly.
