Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

Yan Siyuan didn't even look at him, his eyes were always on Qingyun.

Qingyun hesitated for a moment and looked at Qingxiao with questioning eyes. Qingxiao curled her lips and said, "Just tell me, it's okay."

Qingyun was a little surprised, when did these two things have such a good relationship.

Qingyun slowly spoke out what she had found out and her conjectures, and took a sip of water after finishing speaking.

There was a brief silence in the study.

Qing Xiao stared at Yan Siyuan and said in a bad tone: "Xue'er and His Highness Ninth Prince have thought of getting together. His Highness Ninth Prince came here just to discuss this matter."

Only Yan Siyuan knew whether it was just to discuss the flood.

Yan Siyuan was noncommittal about Qing Xiao's words, but was a little surprised by Qing Yun. He didn't expect her to discover the problem so quickly.

Qingyun was a little surprised by Qing Xiao's words, but she didn't expect that Yan Siyuan would discover it faster than she did.

For a moment, they looked at each other and saw appreciation in each other's eyes.

Qing Xiao was calm and composed on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. Now he wanted to beat Yan Siyuan again. He interrupted the eye contact between the two and said, "Xueer, do you have any good suggestions?".

Qing Xiao didn't feel at all that it was such a big deal to ask a twelve-year-old girl any questions.

Qingyun said: "Since we have expected it, we must make plans secretly. We must first observe the situation, store food secretly, and check the conditions of the moat's dam and the water level upstream. I hope we are wrong."

Qing Xiao nodded. He had no doubts about Qing Yun's words. He could only do this now. This kind of thing should not be publicized in a big way, as it would easily cause panic. It was better to do it secretly.

The capital's drainage system is perfect and there has been no flooding for a hundred years. I hope this time is just a false alarm.

Meng Zirou sat in front of the dressing table, admiring the makeup on her face in the mirror, and changed hairpins one after another.

A secret guard appeared silently. Meng Zirou said without stopping, "What's going on?".

Secret guard: "Qingyun's maid Qiuyue has left the house."

Meng Zirou was a little impatient, "Just leave the house when you leave the house. You don't need to report such small things."

Secret guard: "But she is asking about the moat."

Meng Zirou inserted a hairpin without looking away from the mirror.

"What did she ask about?".

"The water level in the moat rose half a foot."

Meng Zirou said disdainfully: "Oh, I really think that I am the savior, but I actually doubt that there will be a flood."

Meng Zi's soft white fingertips tapped the table and said: "Since she loves to be a hero so much, we can't let her achievements be buried. You go and help her publicize it."

"Yes", the secret guard left.

Meng Zirou started comparing earrings again. Today her mother was taking her to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, so she had to dress up properly.

Two days later, the news that the capital was about to flood spread instantly. The people in the capital were in chaos and panic.

Bang, Emperor Yan was very angry. He was the last one to know. He sat on the dragon chair and patted the table. All the civil and military officials below him knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The pressure from the emperor made them breathless. Emperor Yan said angrily: "Come on, Qing Xiao, explain to me how your sister knew there was going to be a flood? I'm not dead yet."

These words are serious. It is not a problem for His Majesty to notice the flood before, but it is a problem for him to disturb people's hearts without reporting it. His Majesty has doubted the loyalty of the Qing family.

The officials with the Meng family were waiting to watch the excitement, while the officials with the Qing family were nervous.

Qing Xiao stood up and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but it is just a joke made by my sister. I don't know who has spread it to this extent, and it has disturbed the people's hearts."

Lieutenant Ye retorted: "What Qing Shaoqing said is wrong. If Miss Qing hadn't deceived the public with her evil words, how could the people believe it?"

Qing Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Ye Xin, "Oh? Are you talking nonsense? Some people believe what a twelve-year-old child says. Do you believe it?"

Ye Xin's nephew is a student of Taishi Meng.

Ye Xin said quickly, "Of course I don't believe it, I...".

After saying this, he realized that he had been tricked and was so aggrieved that he could not speak.

Only then did Emperor Yan remember that Qingyun was only twelve years old. No one would believe her even if she shouted on the street. But now not only did they believe it, but they also said that it was Qingyun who said it. unusual.

"Okay, okay, Qing Xiao will take the people from the Criminal Department to investigate and find out who is spreading rumors." Emperor Yan waved his hand.

"The Ministry of Industry is going to investigate the problems with the various embankments of the moat, the Ministry of War is suppressing the rioters, and the Ministry of Punishment is assisting Qing Xiao in investigating people. I want to see if that short-sighted person is looking for trouble."

"I obey," the minister who was summoned replied.

Emperor Yan arranged the problem, and Emperor Yan threw up his sleeves and left.

The sharp voice of Zhongzhong sounded: "Retreat from the court."

Baiguan: "I would like to send you to your Majesty."

Qing Xiao walked towards the palace gate with a gloomy face and lowered his head in deep thought. He didn't even hear Shen Li calling him.

Until he was stopped by Song Heqing at the entrance of the palace, Song Heqing said: "My Highness has an invitation."

Qing Xiao followed the direction of Song Heqing's finger and saw a carriage. Next to the carriage stood Xizhu. Xizhu was a secret guard and usually did not appear in front of people.

Qing Xiao did not hesitate, followed Song Heqing into the car, and the car left Xuanwu Gate.

Qing Xiao's cold voice sounded, "Speak."

Yan Siyuan said calmly: "Tell me what you found out."

When the rumors first started, Yan Siyuan ordered Xizhu to investigate. Xizhu said respectfully: "It's Meng Zirou's man. That man gave a few beggars some money to spread the rumors, and then entered Meng Zirou's yard."

Qing Xiao sneered. He was indeed from the Meng family. Before he started to cause trouble for the Meng family, Meng Zirou started acting like a monster again. Killing intent flashed in Qing Xiao's eyes.

Yan Siyuan seemed to be aware of it, glanced at Qing Xiao, and said: "Don't be anxious, we have to find evidence first."

Qingyun stayed in Liangchen Garden and read the painting book.

Qiuyue hurriedly came in and said, "Miss, Miss is not well."

Chunhua hurriedly grabbed Qiuyue and said, "What are you saying to be depressing? The lady is fine."

"Oh no".

Qiuyue shook off Chunhua's hand and said anxiously to Qingyun: "Miss, there are rumors outside that you said there is a flood and the capital is in chaos."

Qing Yun was confused, how could this be possible? No one else knew about this except Qing Xiao and Yan Siyuan. She knew the people in her yard very well and would not talk nonsense, and it was even less possible for Qing Xiao and Yan Siyuan.

Qingyun was confused for a moment, but now she had to solve the problem at hand first. Qingyun said seriously: "Qiuyue, go outside first and see what the specific situation is."

"There's no need to check, Miss, there are many people outside now stocking up on food and medicine. Prices of food and medicine are rising very fast, and there are even people running away."

Qiuyue was very smart and immediately found out after hearing the news.
