"Yes, Your Highness. However, Madam Wei doesn't seem to know about this. Today, I visited more than a dozen gruel dispensaries in the city and found that they were all giving out this kind of rotten rice. Even the mantou was made of rotten noodles! Your Highness, that Gao Yang actually used this kind of rice for disaster relief. What should we do now? "
Chu Xuanchen asked, "By the way, how long will it take for the grain that Wang asked Li San to buy from the neighboring country to arrive?"
Previously, when he was preparing to go to the disaster relief, he had asked Li San to buy grain from the streets.
However, the merchants hoarded it and were unwilling to sell it. They even sold it at a high price.
He found out from his spies that there was no famine in Tiansheng Nation this year and the grain production was relatively sufficient.
Thus, he paid one million taels of silver and sent Li San to disguise himself as a merchant to buy grain from the neighboring Tiansheng Nation.
He told Li San that he had to take advantage of the fact that Heaven Flourishing Nation had yet to react and sweep away all of their food.
As soon as he bought the grain, he would immediately transport it back to Chu.
This way, they could provide timely disaster relief.
Otherwise, it would be too late if they waited until the Emperor gave the order to buy the grain.
More than ten days had passed. Li San and the others should be back by now.
Mo Li cupped his hands and said, "I was just about to talk about this. I just received a messenger pigeon from Li San. He said that they have already bought the grain and are rushing to the imperial city. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to deliver the grain tomorrow morning. "
"Good, that's great! I hope Li San can deliver the grain on time. We will endure it for now. When the grain arrives tomorrow, we will go and slap Madam Wei's face and let the people see her and the Empress' true colors! "Chu Xuanchen shouted coldly.
Chu Xuanchen was filled with anger at the thought of them letting the people eat such food.
Those were his imperial father's people. How could they be treated like this?
Mo Li said, "Yes, now that our grain hasn't arrived, it's useless to make trouble for Madam Wei. For the disaster victims, they will listen to whoever can fill their stomachs. Although Madam Wei gave them rotten porridge, it's better than starving! Then Your Highness, let's endure it for now and wait until tomorrow. "
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Tomorrow is also the deadline for His Majesty to raise funds for Wang. Mo Li, go and prepare yourself. We have a big battle to fight tomorrow. "
"Yes, Your Highness."

The next morning, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue had just woken up when they heard Mo Li's joyful voice, "Wang ye, wang fei, that's great! Li San has already led the convoy and transported all the food he bought back! "
"Really?" Chu Xuanchen hurried out and looked at Mo Li in disbelief.
Mo Li said excitedly, "It's absolutely true. Your Highness, Li San and his entourage are still on the streets. This subordinate rushed here to report the good news."
"Good! Pass down the order. Everyone is to get ready to go out and welcome Li San. We'll hold a welcoming feast for him, "Chu Xuanchen said.
Li San had disregarded the dangers and bought food from Tian Sheng Nation. Of course, he deserved to be treated with respect.
"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Li quickly retreated after speaking.
Yun Ruoyue was puzzled. She looked curiously at Chu Xuanchen, "Li San transported food? Your Highness, what does this mean? "
Chu Xuanchen rubbed her head and smiled dotingly, "This is the surprise that Wang prepared for you. Come, you and Wang go out and see."
As he spoke, he held Yun Ruoyue's hand and the two of them walked towards the main entrance of The Emperor of Li's Estate.
Soon, they arrived at the main entrance of the estate.
