Princess Zhao looked at the electric shock device curiously, "Sister, this thing is really amazing, I haven't seen it before.
Are you saying that there is electricity in here that can electrocute people?"
"Yes, there is electricity in it, and it is very powerful, so you can't just use it to electrocute people.
But if anyone dares to bully you, she will be in danger!"
Yun Ruoyue handed the electric shock device to Princess Zhao.
Princess 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 will keep it well.
I will return it to you when you come back from the disaster relief work."
"Okay, I hope you give birth to the baby safely and never need it."

The auction held by the Queen actually brought in a total of 1.5 million taels of silver.
Including the fifty taels she had raised before, she actually raised two million taels of silver in just two days.
She raised two million taels at once, and she didn't stop.
She asked Mrs. Wei to use the prestige of her queen to continue raising funds among the people, striving to raise three million taels of silver.
Sure enough, as soon as the people in the capital heard that there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, even the Queen Mother personally came out to raise money to save people.
They were so moved that a family with only five pennies and ten pennies and fifty liang began to donate.
An old man who was sweeping the floors even donated three taels of silver that he had saved for many years into Mrs. Wei's box.
Some people who were already living in difficulty donated more than half of their rice to Mrs. Wei's carriage.
For the sake of their families, the common people worked together and united with each other. In just three days, they donated more than one million taels of silver!
So on the night of the third day, when Mrs. Wei sent someone to count the money, she found that the queen had 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 have made a fortune. It seems that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are really serious this time, and the people are really pitiful.
In the past, when we raised funds, we could raise up to several hundred thousand taels, but this time we raised a total of three million taels, which is one-tenth of our national treasury!"
"What?
So much has been raised?"
The queen was eating watermelon. After hearing this, she stood up happily.
"Really, the donations from the concubines, plus the money raised from the auction, and the donations from the common people, add up to a total of 3.05 million taels of silver! Sister, the momentum is so good now, you said we should
Do you want to continue raising funds?”
Mrs. Wei asked.
The queen thought for a moment, then waved her hand and said: "I don't think we can raise more money.
Everything must have a limit. When the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow. We have enough! If we continue to raise money, we will rob Chu Xuanchen of all his money, and he will not be able to raise a penny. I am afraid that he will
Will jump over the wall in a hurry and cause trouble.
Tomorrow we will stop fundraising and instead focus on disaster relief!”
"My sister is right, we have raised three million taels, so we can stop.
What kind of disaster relief will my sister prepare tomorrow?"
The queen smiled and said, "Just like before, just take tens of thousands of taels of silver, build a shop, buy some rice, cook some porridge and give it to the poor.
Too many people have starved to death this time, so you have given me porridge for seven consecutive days to show your benevolence.
The remaining silver should be placed in your villa as before.
When this storm passes, we can divide the accounts again!"
"But sister, we have raised so much money this time, even if we distribute porridge for seven days, we will only spend tens of thousands of taels of silver at most.
Will it arouse suspicion by then?
Will people say that we have raised so much before spending so little money to provide disaster relief?"
