“Indeed, and it looks like he might wake up at any time. That’s why the imperial physicians said he might just be exhausted and fine after a good sleep.” Zhou Ying smiled and nodded.

Lord He was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at her thoughtfully. He found that she did not look tired at all, nor did she look worried.

He immediately started to mutter inwardly. Could they be overthinking, and Gu Chengrui was simply so tired that he fell asleep?

After checking again and confirming there were no flaws, he turned around and walked out. Then, he said a few polite words and left.

“Thankyou for your trouble. Uncle Niu, send Lord He off for me.” Zhou Ying said.

“Lord He, please.” Niu Fugui nodded and respectfully led Lord He out.

“I won’t disturb you further, Madam.” Lord He cupped his fists at Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying nodded and sent him out of the main room. Then, she turned around and returned to the room.

After dinner, Gu Chengxi retook Gu Chengrui’s pulse. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, he reported them to the Emperor.

After everyone left, Zhou Ying drank a pot of tea and rested momentarily. Only after that did she wash Gu Chengrui up and bring him into her interspace.

She tried her best to enter his dream again a few times, but failed.

Looking at him lying on the bed like a living dead, Zhou Ying felt as if a knife was cutting her heart.

She knew something was wrong with his soul, but she could not do anything about it. She could only watch as he struggled alone in the sea of consciousness.

She was so worried that she shed tears at the thought of this.

She grabbed his hand and crawled to the edge of the bed to cry.

She only stopped when she was done venting.

Later, she forced himself to focus and deal with the matters in the Mother God Temples.

At this time, it was still raining heavily on the Western Continent. Not only did the flood level not drop, but it was also getting higher and higher.

Zhou Ying had no choice but to try to dig through some rivers to let the flood flow down, easing the momentum of the flood.

At the same time, she checked and found that the disaster victims from all over had been given some grains, dry wood, and the like.

Finally, she swept her gaze across the three prefectures at the border of the Great Ming Dynasty, noticing some low-lying areas had already been flooded.

Fortunately, a magistrate had already acted according to her instructions.

However, there was still one who did not take it seriously and was instead fooling around with his concubine in the residence.

Zhou Ying was already angry, seeing how he didn’t take human lives seriously.

A bolt of lightning struck the table in front of him. Because the wine was spilled, the table caught fire.

The magistrate and his concubine were so frightened that they immediately screamed.

At the same time, it attracted many servants. When they saw the situation in the room, they immediately started to put out the fire.

Fortunately, the fire wasn’t serious, and it went out after a while.

However, the magistrate was scared out of his wits. His life would have been over if the lightning bolt had not been a little off.

Zhou Ying looked at him as if he had just survived a disaster, and the anger in her heart grew even greater.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was afraid that his death would cause the local people more trouble and make them unable to survive the disaster, she would have struck him long ago.

At the thought of this, she struck three more lightning bolts at him in a row, blocking all his escape routes and leaving him nowhere to escape even if he wanted to.

At the same time, the magistrate was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly.

However, when his concubine saw this, she kneeled down and said, “Mother God, please calm down. If you have any instructions, please tell me.”

When the magistrate heard the concubine’s words, he immediately thought of the dream he had last night.

He did not take it to heart at first, but…

Thinking of the few bolts of lightning specifically aimed at him, he immediately kneeled down and begged, “Mother God, please calm down! I will follow your instructions and immediately move the people in the low-lying areas!”
