As soon as Qing Hui said this, everyone tensed up.
For some reason, today's scene gave some of the ladies present a sense of déjà vu.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
Only Mrs. Zheng was always in a trance.
Ever since Qing Hui came to beat Qi Mingyue that day, Mrs. Zheng had been in poor mental condition and had already closed the door to thank guests. However, this time it was the eldest princess of Xiangyang who sent her confidant to the door in person, so Qi Rongxuan agreed to Mrs. Zheng's going out and also found two
The capable grandma followed.
Qi Mingyue, on the other hand, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qing Hu invited the eldest princess of Xiangyang and several princesses from the clan to sit next to her. After arranging everyone, she spoke again.
"Everyone knows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the disaster in Yujing. He has ordered all ministers to hold a fundraiser in the city. This time, I and my aunt, Princess Xiangyang, jointly took the lead. The fundraiser mainly used medicinal materials, food, and winter supplies.
Mainly made of cotton-padded clothes, and with the money raised from donations, we established a nursery at the foot of Qiyue Mountain to take in baby girls and abandoned babies. I would like to thank you all here for the people affected by the disaster outside the city and the homeless children."
There are nursing homes not only in Xiliang, but also in the entire Siling Continent. However, after the war many years ago, there were too many homeless orphans, which made the nursing homes unable to operate for a long time, and later they gradually became ineffective.
Qing Hui brought it up again today because it was Song Tanxi's suggestion to her.
When disaster strikes, the most pitiful people are baby girls.
What awaits them is either starvation or being sold as soon as possible. If they are lucky, they can survive as slaves in a wealthy family. If they are unlucky, they will be sold into a land of fireworks or even dirtier places, with almost no chance of survival.
The damage outside Yujing City is not particularly serious now. If we give them a place to stay, we might be able to find a way out.
After Qing Hui finished speaking, the eldest princess of Xiangyang was the first to stand up: "I support your concubine's proposal. 10% of all the products produced under my name will be used to maintain the operation of the nursery."
With Princess Xiangyang's statement, others naturally did not dare to fall behind and rushed to say what they could donate.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious and warm.
Then Yin Mushang, the only daughter of Princess Xiangyang, and Song Tanxi, the aunt in charge of the Qingshan Palace, were responsible for recording the donated materials.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
When the fundraising was mostly going on, Song Tanxi nodded lightly at Qing Hui.
Qing Hui raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"First thing, I would like to thank you all again on behalf of those people."
"Now, what I want to say is the second thing."
"Everyone must have heard that the severe drought in Lingzhou was concealed for three years without reporting, resulting in a serious disaster and countless people starving to death. For this matter, I and Your Majesty personally interrogated the officials in charge of Lingzhou and found that
It was an extremely outrageous thing.”
"Everyone must have heard of Xumi Mountain and thought that the people living on Xumi Mountain are all gods."
"But as far as I know, the people who live on Mount Sumeru are not gods, but just a sect that plays tricks."
The whole hall was in an uproar, Qi Mingyue raised her head and looked at Qing Hua.
Qing Hu raised the corners of his lips at her and continued: "I caught a demon in Lingzhou, and he personally admitted to me that he used a kind of poison called the mind-obsessed Gu to bewitch the prefect of Lingzhou.
Let him conceal the severe drought in Lingzhou."
"And coincidentally, I also discovered the mind-obsessed poison in another person."
