Hearing this, the county magistrate sighed deeply. Looking at Shen Wanqing's eyes, he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
[Everything will get better … This is such an extravagant hope and delusion …]
It had been two months since the flood. People were either dead or injured, but the flood showed no signs of subsiding. How could it be easy to cure the flood?
"Your Highness … You don't understand … The flood is a natural disaster. Ordinary people like us can't resist it …" the county magistrate said dispiritedly and helplessly.
Her Highness the Third Princess galloped on the battlefield and fought bloody battles. What she did was to protect the country. How could people with swords and spears deal with the flood?
The county magistrate didn't understand why the Empress would send Her Highness the Third Princess to cure the flood. Her Highness the Third Princess was the backbone of the Yingshang Dynasty. If she was injured here, the county magistrate couldn't atone for his crime.
Looking at the county magistrate's dispirited and helpless look, Shen Wanqing glanced at him and then said calmly, "Don't worry too much. Since I volunteered to come here, I must have the consciousness to cure the flood."
Along the way, Shen Wanqing and the county magistrate walked through the streets. They saw many people in ragged clothes huddling with children in their arms in the corners of the streets. Their faces were full of despair and pain. They had lost hope in life.
Shen Wanqing stopped in her tracks. She stood there and looked at the people in pain.
The county magistrate also stopped. Seeing this scene, he was full of pain. As a local official, the county magistrate's responsibility was to let his people live and work in peace. But he …
The county magistrate sighed in self-reproach. Shen Wanqing walked over and stood before the group of homeless people.
People there didn't know Shen Wanqing. When they saw her, they all subconsciously held the children in their arms and took a step back.
The county magistrate came over and introduced with a pale smile, "Don't be afraid. This is Her Highness the Third Princess sent by the imperial court. She is here to help you cure the flood."
"Her Highness the Third Princess?" They were surprised and respectful.
As people of the Yingshang Dynasty, who hadn't heard of the invincible Third Princess? She was the supreme god in their hearts!
Everyone suddenly knelt down with red eyes and begged humbly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you must save us. Please …"
Shen Wanqing lowered her eyes and looked at the pale faces of the crowd. Her heart was slightly moved.
She pursed her lips, "Well, I will."
Suddenly, Shen Wanqing saw a pair of eyes filled with fear. He was looking at her with fear.
It was a little boy, only about four or five years old. His clothes were tattered, and he was held in the arms of a middle-aged man.
Shen Wanqing walked over and squatted down. She lowered her eyes and looked at the little boy. Shen Wanqing suddenly took out a few sweets. She peeled one of them and handed it over.
The little boy was to take it to take to it.
The father holding him hesitated for a moment and took it, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The father fed the little boy the candy. The candy was sweet and sour, which was different from what the little boy had eaten before.
The sweetness of the candy seemed to dispel the fear of these days. The little boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at the little boy, Shen Wanqing smiled gently and said gently, "Is it sweet?"
