Chapter 40

The Elder Princess immediately ordered everyone to withdraw.

Afterwards, she returned to the main hall and sat down, instructing servants to bring paper, brushes, and ink.

After making all the preparations, the connection was opened.

Gu Sang's serene countenance reflected in the Elder Princess's pupils!

"How is the situation?"

Hearing Gu Sang's inquiry, the Elder Princess's mind was filled with the desperate gazes of the people: "I have arrived at the plague area. The plague has been temporarily contained, but the condition of the disaster victims is not good."

"The flood combined with the plague has left corpses scattered everywhere."

"That useless Pei Changying neither procures food supplies nor controls the disaster situation! When I passed the city gates with the imperial physicians just now, the way those people looked at me..."

At this point.

A glimmer of pity flashed in the Elder Princess's eyes as she said in a solemn voice: "Food is scarce, some people might become so desperate as to resort to cannibalism."

"I have already sent people with my token to nearby towns to gather food supplies. No matter what, ensuring the safety of the people must come first."

"I only hope we can make it in time. If this drags on further, the people may lose their sanity."

Gu Sang listened quietly as the Elder Princess outlined her clear and precise plans for the current situation.

Lacking food? Then procure food!

Lacking medicinal herbs? Then gather medicinal herbs!

As long as everyone works together wholeheartedly, they will surely overcome this plague.

Moreover, with the Elder Princess taking charge here, those officials will also be more committed and not recklessly massacre the city for their own advancement.

And the people will temporarily stabilize their emotions!

"I have come today to deliver food supplies to you."

"It's because he is greedier than you, crueler than you, and more ruthless than you!"

"If you had greedily sought the throne from the Former Emperor, if the Former Emperor did not give it to you and you could be as ruthless as Pei Changying in killing your father, if you could mercilessly sever all bonds! Then how could the throne not be yours?"

Upon hearing this.

The Elder Princess suddenly laughed out loud.

Her eyes seemed to mist over, as if she finally understood where she had lost!

That's right!

She was not cruel enough!

Not greedy enough!

And not ruthless enough!

Women are inherently kind and virtuous. Even a shred of greed for power would induce a sense of guilt. When faced with familial bonds, they would become soft-hearted and bind themselves.

"You are right. Before today, I also wanted that position, but I felt a sense of guilt. I bound and blamed myself, believing that seizing what did not belong to me was a sin."

"But thinking about it now, not being greedy is the real sin!"

"Not being cruel is the sin!"

"Being soft-hearted is the sin!"

"If women are not cruel, not greedy, not ruthless, in the end, don't all rights go to men? Because they are crueler, greedier, and more ruthless!"

"So--"

"Gu Sang."

"Help me. I want that position!"

"Let me overturn this dynasty! I want the Former Emperor to witness it, for everyone to see that I was born noble! The noblest of nobility, the revered one before whom all officials kneel!!"
