Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Village chief Zhou immediately rang the gong to inform everyone to get ready and leave early the next morning.

Yun Shanhu originally thought that if the villagers were unwilling to leave, she would pay Village Chief Zhou to take them away.

She really didn't want to stay in the mountains for even a day longer.

She couldn't wait to get down the mountain and return to her normal life.

Now that the villagers are willing to leave, it saves her a lot of trouble.

After receiving the news, the villagers started to make preparations, and Yun Fuling was no exception.

In the interval of her work, she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jingyi's position and found that he was gone.

Yun Fuling didn't take it to heart.

This person often disappears, but no one knows when he will come back.

It's mysterious and elusive.

The villagers of Linshan Village were preparing to embark on the road of fleeing the famine. At the same time, the atmosphere in the study of Jiangzhou Palace was extremely solemn.

The King of Jiangzhou sat at the head of the table in a gorgeous robe, anger condensed in his phoenix eyes.

He was obese and afraid of cold and heat. Even though there was an ice basin in the room, the hot weather still made him feel irritable and uneasy.

What's more, two major incidents happened one after another in his fiefdom, each one more upsetting to him than the other.

"A bunch of rubbish. When we were building the dam, I reminded them to be more careful."

"Now look what has happened. The Jiangling Weir has only been under construction for less than a year, and it has already burst due to a heavy rain!"

"The three prefectures of Jiangning, Nanxi and Pingzhang are full of disaster victims!"

The King of Jiangzhou was furious, but he did not consider that most of the money allocated by the court for building the dam was secretly withheld by him, and the rest was extorted by officials at all levels. In the end, there was very little money left for building the dam.

The dam was built so naturally that it looked like it was made of paper and would break if it was hit.

The King of Jiangzhou naturally did not think that he had done anything wrong. He just thought that it was the people below who were not doing their job well.

He turned his gaze to the elegant middle-aged scholar beside him, and said with a little more respect, "Mr. Wen, if His Majesty holds me accountable, what should I do?"

Mr. Wen looked calm and said in an unhurried voice, "Don't panic, Your Majesty. This rainstorm is rare in a century. The rain is too heavy and the dam can't bear it. It is normal for Jiangling Weir to burst its dam."

"I have prepared a memorial for Your Majesty, please review it."

King Jiangzhou took the memorial presented by Mr. Wen, and after reading it, his expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright.

It is indeed a good idea to blame everything on the heavy rain.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What if this trick doesn't work?"

Mr. Wen waved his folding fan and said, "Let's find a scapegoat and put the charge of embezzling the money for the dike repair work on him!"

"The prince is the Queen Mother's biological son, and he has the Jiang family behind him. No one dares to accuse the prince. He will keep his mouth shut and admit his guilt."

"Your Majesty, just submit a memorial to the court requesting disaster relief."

King Jiangzhou's brows relaxed instantly.

Mr. Wen is indeed resourceful and deserves to be his most trusted adviser.

If the imperial court really allocates funds for disaster relief, he will be able to make a fortune from it.

It's not that he is too greedy for money, but that he wants to do big things and needs to spend money everywhere.

Mr. Wen took a sip of tea and spoke again: "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is another matter."

"Prince Yi returned to the capital, but was attacked in Jiangzhou and his whereabouts are unknown. If your Majesty hears about this, what will you think?"

The King of Jiangzhou's expression changed, "Your Majesty, you won't suspect that I was the one who did it, right?"

Mr. Wen: "Among all the princes, His Majesty dotes on His Royal Highness Prince Yi the most. The incident happened in Jiangzhou, and His Majesty was furious, so he could not help but vent his anger on the prince."

"What's more, Jiangzhou is the prince's fiefdom, so the prince cannot escape the blame."

King Jiangzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that someone wants to plot against me?"

Family members know their own business, and the attack on Prince Yi really has nothing to do with him.

If he were asked to find out who did this, he would never let that person off.

Mr. Wen pondered and said, "The people who did this are none other than those few people."

Now that the crown prince is undecided, several adult princes are ready to make a move, eyeing the position of the Crown Prince.

Prince Yi is the most favored by His Majesty. He has made great military achievements in the northern border in recent years and has already earned the name of the God of War.

When His Majesty summoned Prince Yi back to the capital this time, many people were wondering in their hearts whether His Majesty was going to make Prince Yi the Crown Prince.

Naturally, the other princes could no longer sit still.

I just don't know whether that person took action in Jiangzhou to divert the trouble or for some other purpose?

Mr. Wen thought about it for a while, and suddenly heard the King of Jiangzhou say: "Mr. Wen, what do you think of me helping King Yi and letting them fight each other?"

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a very good plan!"

"If Prince Yi is rescued by Your Majesty and is safe, Your Majesty will not only be able to clear his suspicion, but also take the opportunity to make Prince Yi owe You a favor."

"Let the brothers fight each other. If both are defeated, Your Majesty will reap the benefits, which will be of great benefit to you in the future!"

King Jiangzhou raised his eyebrows proudly.

He is the Queen Mother's biological son. Your Majesty was merely born to a palace maid and raised by the Queen Mother.

The throne should have been his.

But because he was born ten years later, he had to be inferior to others.

He doesn't agree!

He must take back what belongs to him!

King Jiangzhou's eyes shone, as if he had thought of something, and he warned: "Push up the work at Fengluo Mountain, don't delay my important task."

Mr. Wen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. A few days ago, they reported that they were short of manpower. There are many disaster victims recently. I will select some of them and send them to Fengluo Mountain."

There was a look of satisfaction in the eyes of King Jiangzhou, and he looked at Mr. Wen with more appreciation.

"It is my honor to have Mr. Wen's help!"

"I am so honored by your majesty. I will work hard for you and never regret it even if I die!"

After the two men in the Jiangzhou Palace had discussed important matters, orders were issued from the Palace, and people in the Palace began to act in batches.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Early in the morning, the villagers on the top of Fengluo Mountain packed their luggage and set off.

Yun Fuling was still carrying the big bamboo basket with a lid, but there was an extra bamboo tube filled with water around her waist.

Boss Wu and his men had the same configuration, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs and bamboo tubes hanging around their waists.

These were all made by Zhang Sanmu yesterday according to Yun Fuling's request.

However, the backpacks of Boss Wu and his friends were filled with wild fruits and mushrooms they had picked in the past few days, as well as the herbs dug by Yun Fuling.

Yun Fuling was holding Yun Jingmo's hand and was about to set off when Yun Jingmo suddenly called out "Uncle Wang".

When Yun Fuling turned around, she saw Xiao Jingyi appearing from nowhere.

When she wasn't paying attention, Yun Jingmo broke free from her hand and ran towards Xiao Jingyi.

Yun Fuling couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead.

She also didn't understand why this little brat was so close to Xiao Jingyi, even though they were strangers who had only known each other for a few days.

Could it be that he was bribed by Xiao Jingyi's game?
