I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 880 His White Moonlight 13
Valley Water City was the most severely affected city, and several neighboring cities were also impacted.

More than half of the residents in the area affected by the flooding of the Qingyuan River were impacted. Although only a few days had passed since the river breached its banks, the matter immediately drew the attention of the imperial court.

Although the current emperor is a pleasure-seeking person, he has always paid considerable attention to the people's livelihood.

While one may enjoy having fun, one still needs to be concerned about national affairs. One cannot allow the legacy of one's ancestors to be ruined in one's own hands, leaving behind a legacy of infamy.

However, his past indulgences had accumulated into serious illnesses in his later years.

The Emperor is now too weak. He is out of breath even when he walks to the court in the morning. He has limited energy to devote to national affairs. He is willing but unable to do so.

He is now gradually delegating authority, entrusting many matters to Lou Yunsheng.

The reason why Lou Yunsheng was chosen to go on this disaster relief mission was firstly to test his son's abilities.

Secondly, it was to allow Lou Yunsheng to build up his reputation among the people through this disaster relief effort.

Ability and prestige are essential qualities for a monarch.

Lou Yunsheng, of course, understood his father's good intentions and was very excited on his way back to the palace.

Because he understood what it meant that the Emperor had entrusted him with this task without hesitation.

If he can successfully complete his disaster relief mission, it will likely not be long before the Kingdom of Lanting reinstates a crown prince.

Although the current emperor indulges in debauchery and has countless beauties in his harem, it is unclear whether this has caused some damage to certain aspects of his health, resulting in a relatively small number of his offspring.

He had two daughters and six sons.

Two of his sons died shortly after birth.

The eldest son was the former crown prince, who had been imprisoned for treason and later committed suicide in prison.

However, Yu Muhuai knew that the former crown prince did not actually commit suicide, but was murdered by people sent by Lou Yunsheng and then staged as a suicide scene.

Because the emperor was extremely disappointed in his eldest son, believing that he wanted to kill him and seize the throne, he hated him very much and therefore did not investigate the real reason for his eldest son's death.

Besides the youngest son, the sixth prince Lou Yunsheng, the remaining princes were the third and fifth princes.

The third prince was playful, and the fifth prince was cowardly; neither of them was fit to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

The situation in the court and among the people is becoming increasingly clear. Everyone has generally agreed that Lou Yunsheng is the one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince.

There are also things that people dare to think but not to say.
His Majesty is in poor health and finds even attending court sessions extremely difficult. Lou Yunsheng may have to assume not only the position of Crown Prince, but also the supreme throne.

The emperor had no choice but to accept that of his three remaining sons, only Lou Yunsheng had the ability to govern the country.

However, Lou Yunsheng's background is his biggest weakness. His mother's humble origins may become a handle for some people to attack him in the future.

Therefore, Lou Yunsheng must do as many things as possible that are good for people's livelihood and do more practical things in government affairs, so as to help him consolidate his position in the future.

Lou Yunsheng had always been quite dissatisfied with his father, the emperor.

Growing up in the palace, he suffered endless humiliation because he was not favored by the emperor.

His other older brothers and sisters all disliked him, and any prince or minister's descendant could bully him.

The palace wasn't particularly large or small, but it was, after all, the emperor's territory. Lou Yunsheng simply couldn't believe he didn't know about this matter.

However, the emperor knew but did not react, which was tantamount to condoning it.

The fact that the emperor later sent him to the State of Chen as a hostage shows that he actually had no regard for his youngest son.

It's impossible for Lou Yunsheng not to harbor resentment towards his father.

However, since the death of the former crown prince, the emperor seems to have aged more than ten years overnight.

I've lost many of the fun activities I used to enjoy.

The emperor began to pay attention to self-cultivation and conditioning his body.

But it was too late. Many of his bodily functions had already suffered irreversible damage. He had too many bad habits from the past, including excessive indulgence in sex, alcoholism, staying up all night, overeating, and taking elixirs.
The elixirs of this era are all deceptive tricks.

It's nothing more than adding some chemicals with extremely high mercury content, baking them in a furnace, and making a small poison pill with a high toxicity level.

The emperor ignored the toxicity of the elixir, believing only that it could grant him a long life.

But instead of living to a ripe old age, he became terminally ill.

Perhaps because he sensed that his lifespan was coming to an end, the emperor became much more accepting of many things.

The most obvious change was his attitude towards Lou Yunsheng.

Lou Yunsheng originally thought he would resent the emperor for the rest of his life, and even kill him to seize the throne.

However, after receiving the emperor's overtures, Lou Yunsheng's resentment lessened considerably.

He would not completely forgive his father for his past indifference, but he had also given up the idea of ​​murdering his father.

Human emotions are truly one of the most complex things in the world.

This applies not only to family relationships but also to romantic relationships.

Lou Yunsheng finally managed to understand family relationships to some extent, but then he couldn't understand love anymore.

The last time I went away for a month, both women changed when I came back.

We don't know how long this disaster relief trip to Gushui City will take.

So Lou Yunsheng decided to bring both women along.

Yuwen Xue remained somewhat bewildered until she boarded the carriage to Gushui City.

In the past, no matter where Lou Yunsheng went, he would at most send someone to inform him, and sometimes he wouldn't even say anything.

At that time, she could only wait in the courtyard like a lonely woman confined to her chambers.

This was the first time Lou Yunsheng had taken her with him when he went out on official business.

Moreover, the reasons given by Prince Duan were quite compelling.

Deeply saddened by the plight of the disaster-stricken people, the Queen decided to lead by example and volunteered to personally travel to Gushui City to do her part in helping them.

The Emperor agreed.

Since the Emperor has spoken, Yuwen Xue will definitely follow suit.

Although she never brought up any of these nonsensical ideas.

She didn't even know where Gushui City was or what the flood looked like.

Thus, this princess, who had been pampered since childhood and knew nothing of the world, was tricked by Lou Yunsheng into going to the disaster area.

As for Yu Muhuai.

Her current identity is Lou Yunsheng's subordinate; wherever her master tells her to go, she can only obey.

In their previous life, Zhong Ci and Yuwen Xue also went to Gushui City with Lou Yunsheng.

At that time, the three of them were already in a state of torturing each other every day.

Yuwen Xue wanted to escape, but Lou Yunsheng wouldn't allow it, so he simply forced her to go to Gushui City with him.

What should have been an official mission to control floods and provide disaster relief was turned into a greasy and abusive love story by the three of them.
