Unknowingly, I strolled into the Jingfei Palace, where the shelves in the courtyard were covered with vines.

Lying on the reclining chair in the courtyard, I didn't seem like the emperor burdened with heavy responsibilities, but rather a farmer retiring in the mountains.

"Why has the Emperor come?"

"I didn't even know to announce it."

【Are you here to steal my vegetables too?】

An Ran pretended to scold the maidservant, and I raised my hand, "It was I who ordered it, you be quiet, I am comfortable here."

She brought tea to me, "Is the Emperor troubled?"

【You must be worried about the flooding in Qinghe River...】

【I have spiritual springs and tens of thousands of fertile fields, producing high-quality grains.】

【There are also many cultivation methods, but how can I leave the palace to go to Qinghe...】

My brow furrowed, the severity of the Qinghe incident was that the farmlands of the common people were all flooded, resulting in heavy losses.

With constant wars and the state treasury already depleted, even if the allocated silver was not embezzled layer by layer, it would not support for long.

At that time, the possibility of the refugees erupting into riots was extremely high.

Thinking of this, I quickly said,

"The farmlands in the Qinghe area have suffered heavy losses, and you are very skilled in agricultural matters. Would you be willing to accompany the Left Censor to Qinghe?"

Her eyes flickered, showing humility, "This humble woman fears she won't be of much help."

【Can those old dengs serve me?】

"...I trust you, you are naturally adept in the fields, this time consider it a homecoming."

I squeezed her hand to encourage her.

If I remember correctly, it was from that area that Father Emperor brought people back.

An Ran obediently said, "I will follow the Emperor's orders."

【Great~】

【...】

On the day of departure, I specifically had Hei Lian disguise herself as an ordinary maid next to An Ran, accompanying them on the journey.

Standing on the city wall, watching the departing team, I hoped she could help the people of Qinghe escape their suffering.
