When the empress organized a medical team to go to Ruodu City in person, when the news spread, many people didn't believe it. People in Ruodu City didn't believe it either, and they couldn't believe it either.
Yuwen Zelan came to Ruodu City, but she was just a child after all. She came to Ruodu City to play and was accompanied by thousands of soldiers and horses. Although it was later confirmed that her abilities were not what a child could possess, she was the city lord of Ruodu City. She
Come on, there’s nothing wrong with that.
But now Ruodu City is in ruins due to the earthquake. To rebuild Ruodu City, it will cost the court a lot of manpower and financial resources. The Northern Tang court can give up on treating them and let them fend for themselves. After all, the city still belongs to them.
As long as the ownership of the land remains unchanged, to the Northern Tang court, they were just a bunch of white-eyed wolves, full of hostility to the court. Why would they want to save a group of people who hated the court?
Therefore, before the queen arrived, the people in Ruodu didn't believe it at all.
Because, even if the court wants to take care of them and save them, the queen does not need to take action herself.
A mere Ruodu city does not deserve the attention of the imperial court.
But on the tenth day after the earthquake, the medical team led by the queen arrived at Ruodu City. They were covered in dust and fatigue, and countless horses collapsed from running. They were covered in stars and moons, so they could arrive so quickly.
The people in Ruodu City were all excited and rushed to tell each other that the Queen was coming to Ruodu City in person.
People's thoughts often change only in an instant.
Before the earthquake, the people of Ruodu City, who had hated the imperial court and believed that the Northern Tang Dynasty was an enemy country, actually swarmed to greet Yuan Qingling. Naturally, Zelan's earthquake warning and efforts to provide disaster relief were indispensable.
Yuan Qingling did not expect that the people would be so enthusiastic. Sitting on the horse and looking over, people kept swarming over. Her eyes were a little wet. This was so unexpected.
"Mom!" Hearing her daughter's cry from the crowd, Yuan Qingling's eyes were precisely focused on the figure running towards her. She quickly dismounted and ran towards Zelan.
Zelan threw herself into her mother's arms and couldn't hold back her tears. What she had seen and experienced during these days was really shocking to her soul, and she still had a fragile heart.
When her mother came, she couldn't hold herself any longer.
"Mom, so many people have died, so many people have died!" Zelan cried.
Yuan Qingling had never heard her daughter cry so miserably, and her heart ached. She hugged her and comforted her, "Mom knows, mom is here to help everyone. Don't cry, don't cry. Where is my brother? Isn't he here?"
"Here we come!" Zeelan raised her little face and looked at her mother, with tears in her eyes and cheeks. "Brother, they are still rescuing people, but none of them who have been rescued in the past two days will survive."
Yuan Qingling was also very sad, "Well, mom knows. Let's go in and drink some water and go to treat the injured immediately. Let's go, we can't waste too much time."
"Okay, got it!" Zelan held her mother's hand and walked all the way back.
When King Wei and King An learned that she was coming, they saw the people swarming over. They were afraid that something would happen, so they hurried over to maintain order. However, they were relieved when they saw that the people were very polite and just looked at the queen silently.
The queen cast her eyes on the crowd, and the two of them immediately squatted down and couldn't see me, couldn't see me, couldn't see me!
Although Yuan Qingling thought it was funny, she couldn't laugh when she saw the helpless faces of the people. Her heart was very heavy. She took the medical team to the mansion to drink water and eat something, and then she started to work.
Along the way, they took as many breaks as possible, and everyone was exhausted.
