"I order you to leave for the south region immediately. Handle all the problems related to the flood disaster with urgency and
return only after the condition returns to normalcy."
"I get it, Your Highness."
"Is the Minister of Revenue here?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Felix took a look at the minister, his heart aching. It was after some tiresome efforts that he was able to secure his people in the
Ministry of Revenue, and be successful in winning them over. But now, in the blink of an eye, they were about to go to help the
disaster relief. Felix felt heartbroken at the thought of this. He ordered, "Immediately arrange some officials to search and
purchase medicinal materials, look for folk medicine and physicians, and proceed to Stream County. Lucas will also be there to
rescue the survivors, and he will be in charge of all the relevant matters of Stream County."
All the officials were slightly surprised. Lucas had never participated in any state affairs, but now Felix asked him to leave the
imperial capital and provide disaster relief in Stream County. Was he trying to keep Lucas away from imperial capital? Was the
crown prince planning something big here?
"Your Highness, I'm afraid Prince Lucas may not be the right choice to bear such huge responsibility," the Minister of Revenue
said tentatively.
"Lucas is a prince, and our father is ill now. As a son of our father, he too must contribute to the state affairs. There are frequent
disasters around the country. What we can do is to try our best and minimize the impact of the natural disaster on the common

people. As a prince, how can he stay out of this matter? This is settled, and there would be no more discussion on this matter.
The Ministry of Revenue has to prepare everything in three days, and three days later, Lucas will go for disaster relief in Stream
County."
"Yes, Your Highness."

to supply their grains immediately. Lucas will go there with the imperial edict." Felix looked around and continued, "The officials of the Cabinet will stay for

relief, but the other officials had different opinions. Matthew had taken his wife to the Holy Chant Temple to pray and hadn't come back yet. Francis was put under house arrest. The empress dominated the imperial harem alone, but the emperor was ill. Felix and the empress controlled both the imperial court and the imperial harem. "Crown Prince Felix decided to send Prince Lucas to the disaster area for relief efforts. Do you think he is going to...?" one of the courtiers said in a low voice to his companion. "Shh, don't talk nonsense!" The other courtier looked around in suspicion. "Mind you, this is the Imperial Palace. Even the walls have ears here. Do you wish for an early death? Shut up now!" "I am just being curious.

courtier shared his worries.
The other courtier walking with him pulled his sleeve and said, "You're thinking too much. Don't talk nonsense and invite trouble!
If you are free, just go home, have some tea or go for some recreation. Don't think about such nonsense. You would fall sick if
you think so much."
The courtier who was reprimanded scratched his head. Although he did not fully understand the underlying meaning of his
fellows' words, he understood more or less that his worry was unreasonable. Whatever Felix or the empress intended to do was
none of his concern. All he needed to do was concentrating on his own job.
In the imperial harem, the empress was in charge of the emperor's residence and no one was allowed even to get close to him.

Monica was uneasy. The empress was domineering in the imperial harem, which made her restless. Felix was in charge of the imperial court, and the empress controlled the imperial harem. The mother-son duo had an iron hold over the imperial capital. Everyone knew what both of them were doing and what they would do. If the emperor didn't wake
