The wives of several Princes dined with the two Madams. An Xiyuan arrived late and announced her pregnancy. Lady He was delighted and immediately ordered the greasy dishes removed and replaced with lighter fare. Li Wei, though happy, also felt a little guilty, not knowing An Xiyuan was pregnant and having prepared strong-flavored dishes. A sudden cold disaster struck the New Cang border. In court, Lord Xinchuan asked the ministers to speak freely and come up with a solution.

The Fourth Prince was the first to step forward, saying that the priority should be avoiding casualties and that the Household Department had prepared the funds. However, transporting supplies from the capital might take too long due to the mountainous terrain, so nearby aid was needed. Since northern Mochuan had experience dealing with the cold, he suggested seeking their help. Looking down at his memorial, Yin Zheng realized the Fourth Prince had voiced exactly what he had written.

He quickly spoke up, saying he had already written to Mochuan and secured their support. Lord Xinchuan pondered over his sons. Since taking charge of the Household Department, the Fourth Prince had shown signs of his former ambition. Though the Sixth Prince seemed sincere, at times he felt unfathomable. After a moment’s thought, he decided to send both sons to the northwest for disaster relief.

He gave them a strict military order: if anyone froze to death, they were not to return. As their husbands prepared to leave for a distant journey, their wives naturally worried. Each Princess prepared luggage for her husband, hoping for his safe return. The next day, the Fourth and Sixth Princes set off with their troops. After traveling for some time, they paused to rest in the mountains.

Yin Zheng thought they should hurry and asked the Fourth Prince for permission to proceed. But the Fourth Prince, not in a rush, wanted the soldiers to rest longer. Yin Zheng had no choice but to salute and take his leave, stating he would go ahead. At the border town of Canghe in New Cang, snow blanketed everything. Yin Zheng arrived with his troops through the wind and snow, seeing the townspeople in a miserable state.

His heart ached at the sight. Village chief Du stumbled over and saluted Yin Zheng. Not wanting to attract attention, Yin Zheng ordered the soldiers to distribute supplies right away. While checking on the people, Yin Zheng was stopped by a blind old woman. Her husband had passed away early, and her son was no longer around. She lived with her granddaughter, but they were starving and the windows had been blown out by the wind.

Her granddaughter was crying from the cold. Desperate, she came to beg Yin Zheng for help. Yin Zheng comforted her and ordered supplies to be sent to her home. He even took off his own cloak and gave it to her. The old woman wept and knelt in gratitude, but Yin Zheng quickly had her helped up and sent her home. Meanwhile, at Wuxiang County, also near New Cang, things were peaceful and lively.

Magistrate Chu led the Fourth Prince through the streets, reporting the county’s situation. Soon, the Fourth Prince received a letter from Yin Zheng detailing the situation in Canghe Town and requesting support. Upon reading it, the Fourth Prince immediately ordered supplies sent to Canghe. That night, the soldiers returning from Wuxiang with supplies arrived, but all had injuries on their faces. It turned out they had encountered mountain bandits on the road and lost many supplies.

Yin Zheng did not blame them; instead, he thanked them for their efforts. Yin Zheng had been away for many days, yet no letter arrived at home. For Li Wei, the days dragged by in worry. Unbeknownst to her, Yin Zheng had sent letters, but they had been intercepted by the Fourth Prince. Meanwhile, An Xiyuan went to Prince Liu’s residence and falsely claimed Yin Zheng had met with misfortune. Anxious, Li Wei hurried with Su Shen and others to Canghe, but Su Shen took the wrong road, leaving them lost in the mountains.
