Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 637

"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."

"I will order the grain warehouse of Stream County 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 a meeting. Others can leave now."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Felix and the officials of the Cabinet continued to discuss the specific details of the disaster 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.
