Chapter 146, is it really that hard?!
Bai Xiaoxiao was not angry at Mei Xingyue's overstepping of her bounds.
She even instructed with a smile in her eyes: "This must be the goddess that Lord Li An mentioned, the one who lives in the Eastern Palace?"
"His Majesty ordered me to teach the Goddess, but I haven't met you yet!"
A palace maid pushed Mei Xingyue in and helped her kneel on the ground.
Mei Xingyue's kneecaps had been shattered by Zhou Wei, and now, kneeling on the ground, she was experiencing waves of excruciating pain.
But she had no choice but to do it for the sake of the Crown Prince!
"This humble woman pays her respects to the Imperial Noble Consort."
"Alright, get up," Bai Xiaoxiao waved her hand. "Look at you, you pitiful thing. If you don't get up, the Crown Prince will hold a grudge against me."
The Crown Prince personally helped Mei Xingyue up, his eyes filled with heartache.
If it weren't for the court officials watching, he would have loved to grab Mei Xingyue and carry her back to her wheelchair.
He thought that helping Mei Xingyue was no big deal, but little did he know that many court officials frowned when they saw him do so.
The Crown Prince is so concerned about a commoner woman.
It's really...
All eyes turned to Bai Xiaoxiao on the dragon throne.
Never mind, there's nothing more to say.
Father and son are exactly the same, utterly disrespectful!
"If I heard correctly, the goddess seemed to be opposing my decision to depose the crown prince, didn't she?"
“Tell me your reasons. If they are valid, I will not punish you for treason.”
"If you can't answer, trespassing into the Fengtian Hall will result in the extermination of your entire family!"
Bai Xiaoxiao spoke casually, but Mei Xingyue couldn't help but shudder.
She immediately said respectfully, "Your Highness, I oppose the removal of the Crown Prince because I am not some kind of demon, but rather an auspicious omen."
Upon hearing Mei Xingyue's words, Jiang Yueli couldn't help but look at Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei gave her a sweet smile, and Jiang Yueli immediately understood that Mei Xingyue's appearance was Zhou Wei's doing.
She just hadn't figured out what the point of bringing Mei Xingyue to Fengtian Hall was.
Could she possibly stop Bai Xiaoxiao from deposing the crown prince?
Zhou Wei remained silent, only gesturing for the princess to continue watching.
"Really? An auspicious omen?" Bai Xiaoxiao smiled gently. "If she is truly a goddess, then it is naturally an auspicious omen. But how will the goddess prove herself?"
Mei Xingyue glanced at the Crown Prince, pursed her lips, and replied firmly, "This humble woman can solve the problem of the snowstorm disaster in the capital."
Upon hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
Even Li An, who hated Mei Xingyue to the bone, changed his expression.
"Witch, don't spout nonsense! Do you even know what it means to solve a blizzard disaster?"
Mei Xingyue responded humbly and politely to Ang Lee's questions.
"Lord Li, the capital is suffering from severe snow disaster, and the people are in dire straits. There is a shortage of food and charcoal in the market."
“The women can provide enough food and charcoal to ensure that the people do not freeze or starve to death.”
Li An looked at Mei Xingyue with surprise and uncertainty, somewhat confused.
Can this enchantress really solve these problems?
It's important to know that the heavy snow has blocked the roads, and all roads leading to the outside world are covered with thick snow.
Even with the corvée laborers conscripted by the Prefect of the Capital constantly clearing the snow, they couldn't keep up with the rate at which the snow was accumulating.
Over the past ten days or so, counties and townships near the capital have done their utmost to transport supplies.
But that's not enough to compensate for the population loss in the capital!
For the next closest state capital, it would take at least half a month to deliver supplies.
If the blizzard continues, large numbers of people will begin to die in the capital within just half a month.
Moreover, the blizzard is showing signs of spreading; a few days ago, it also started snowing in the counties and townships that had transported supplies to the capital!
Panic gradually spread from the capital to the entire country!
Everyone knew that waiting for relief from the Zhou government in various regions was merely an ideal scenario.
These two weeks are too short for things to change.
If the blizzard continues to spread, even the ministers in the imperial court cannot guarantee that the various prefectures will obediently transport supplies to the capital.
In a life-or-death situation, one's own life is naturally the most important!
Even if the imperial court were to hold someone accountable, the provincial governors would have their own explanations.
Shouldn't we take the people under our rule into consideration?
Are the people of the capital human beings, but the people of the local areas are not?
Now that Mei Xingyue claims she can solve the most difficult problems, how can this not shock everyone!
Jiang Yueli was also a bit confused. Although there was no snow disaster in the capital in the previous life, Mei Xingyue did not have any special abilities!
Could it be the bewitching power of a fox spirit?
The idea had barely formed when it was rejected by the eldest princess.
The fox demon's charm is a mental attack; it cannot conjure food or charcoal.
Mei Xingyue must have other trump cards up her sleeve!
As expected of a heroine with great luck, even in such dire straits, she can still launch a counterattack.
However, the eldest princess will not interfere with Mei Xingyue's initiative to take responsibility.
The people are now waiting for food and charcoal to save their lives.
Even if Jiang Yueli hates Mei Xingyue, she will put aside her hatred for the time being.
After all, human life is at stake!
Ang Lee shared the same idea as Jiang Yueli.
When he saw Mei Xingyue appear, he wanted nothing more than to strangle her.
But after hearing that she could provide food and charcoal.
Ang Lee sighed silently in his heart: Daughter, I am sorry, but... how innocent the people are!
Mei Xingyue took in everyone's reactions.
She smiled humbly on the surface, but her heart was breaking.
She vividly remembers the despair she felt after her legs were crippled!
The eldest princess, in the name of the Grand Clan Court, forbade her from being listed in the Imperial Jade Tablet, effectively cutting off her path to becoming the Crown Princess.
Jiang Yueli's reason was that she was ugly and had crippled legs.
Mei Xingyue could not change any of these things, so she lay in the East Palace, heartbroken and disheartened.
Unexpectedly, her beloved youngest son, Jiang Nianyue, told her that her legs and face could be cured.
“Mother, I have a secret medicine given to me by my master that can make your legs and face completely healed.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Xingyue was overjoyed!
She wished Jiang Nianyue would bring out the secret medicine immediately.
Yuanxing, who had taken over Jiang Nianyue's body, was also heartbroken.
She used her own points!
If Mei Xingyue didn't need to restore her appearance and legs, even if he killed Yuan Xing, he would never have given her the points!
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
This necessary investment is essential.
I simply asked the system for the points required for the two drugs.
The circle almost collapsed!
"A medicine that can treat leg ailments and restore appearance costs me a total of 99,990 points?"
Yes, host, that's the pricing.
The center of the circle is bleeding!
He finally got 99,999 points, but he only has a fraction left?
No matter how uncomfortable it is, the medicine still needs to be exchanged.
Just as Yuanxing was about to make up her mind and click to redeem, Wang Wu summoned Donggong.
"Is Madam Mei here? Quickly come with me to Fengtian Hall! The Imperial Noble Consort wants to depose the Crown Prince!"
Mei Xingyue nearly fainted upon hearing this.
Yuanxing was so startled that his hand trembled, and the exchange failed immediately!
After learning about the Crown Prince's predicament from Wang Wu, the mother and her two children were dumbfounded!
Mei Xingyue was completely lost. If the Crown Prince were deposed, what hope would she have left?
Yuanxing almost died on the spot!
What on earth is going on here?
All he wants is a Marrow Cleansing Pill, is that so damn hard to get?
