Chapter 103 The Coming Natural Disaster
The pain in her neck was so severe that Princess Beiyi looked painful and stared at the emperor in disbelief.
"You brought me into the palace and arranged for me to live in Linzhaoxuan. Aren't you going to marry me?"
The emperor smiled contemptuously, as if he had heard a joke.
"I brought you into the palace and kept you under my watch just to prevent you from being rescued. I have already written a letter to the King of Northern Barbarians, saying that as long as he agrees to withdraw his troops, I will let you go. Otherwise..."
The words were not finished yet, but the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Princess Beiyi looked grim, knowing that if her father did not withdraw his troops, she would die here.
The emperor released Princess Beiyi and summoned Eunuch Zhang to send her back to Linzhaoxuan.
Princess Beiyi touched her neck which was pinched and hurt, coughed a few times uncomfortably, and asked unwillingly: "Marrying Beiyi will benefit Xiling more than asking my father to withdraw his troops temporarily. Are you really not going to marry me?"
The emperor ignored her and sat at his desk, head buried in his thoughts, continuing to review memorials.
Eunuch Zhang knew that the emperor was tired of Princess Beiyi and didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he made a gesture of invitation, "Princess, please!"
Princess Beiyi had a sinister look in her eyes and a rage in her chest, but she didn't dare to vent it. She snorted coldly and left the Xuanzheng Hall angrily.
Lin Yuejiao was quite disappointed that the emperor did not teach Princess Beiyi a lesson, but she also understood the emperor.
The emperor wanted to use the Princess of Beiyi to exchange for a truce between the two countries, so he naturally had to ensure that the Princess of Beiyi was unharmed. Who knew if Beiyi would stop fighting for a princess...
At this time, Lin Yuejiao was still worried whether the Northern Barbarians would withdraw their troops for Sangzhi.
However, less than a month later, the emperor received a letter from the King of Beiyi, who agreed to withdraw his troops, but asked the emperor to send someone to escort his daughter back to Beiyi safely.
So, on the day he received the letter, the emperor sent people to escort the Princess of Beiyi back.
Before leaving, Princess Beiyi told the emperor that one day, she would come to Xiling again as a princess married to a foreign country, and at that time, the emperor must marry her.
The emperor did not take her words seriously at all. The truce with the Northern Barbarians was only a temporary measure. Sooner or later, he would eliminate the hidden danger of the Northern Barbarians.
After the two sides ceased fighting, the border has been peaceful ever since.
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the next spring. As the weather gradually warmed up, the rainy season arrived and heavy rains suddenly hit many places.
The system said that the moat in Bianzhou would burst due to rising water levels due to heavy rains, and all the people in the city would be killed.
Lin Yuejiao immediately told Xu Xiyue about this matter and asked Xu Xiyue to inform the emperor and make countermeasures in advance.
Xu Xiyue never doubted the fairy's words, so he hurried to the Xuanzheng Hall to meet the emperor and told him everything the fairy said without missing a word.
However, the emperor not only did not believe it, but also blamed Xu Xiyue, "Empress Xian, do you know the consequences of misleading the people with evil words?"
Seeing the emperor getting angry, Xu Xiyue knelt down hurriedly, "Your Majesty, how dare I play with the lives of tens of thousands of people? Everything I said is true. If I lied, I will be struck by lightning!"
In order to convince the emperor, Xu Xiyue swore an oath that even the eunuch Zhang who was standing next to him was shocked.
It seems that Empress Xian is not lying. Could it be that there will really be a natural disaster in Bianzhou?
Eunuch Zhang hesitated whether to say a few words for Concubine Xian, but the Emperor suddenly got angry, and he was so scared that he dared not say anything.
"Nonsense!"
The emperor threw the memorial in his hand onto the table with a bang and looked at Xu Xiyue with slight annoyance.
"I know it is the rainy season and many places have been raining for days. Bianzhou is your hometown, so you are bound to be worried. But you can't be so arrogant and ask me to send troops to Bianzhou for disaster relief. If nothing happens, how will you let the world see me?"
"Your Majesty, I really did not deceive you. I had a dream last night. I dreamed that the gods reminded Xiyue and said..."
"Alright, I still have some government affairs to attend to. I don't have time to fool around with you. Leave!"
Xu Xiyue tried to persuade the emperor by saying that she had a dream in which a god warned her that there would be a disaster in Bianzhou, but the emperor didn't want to listen to her at all and scolded her to leave.
"Empress Xian..." Eunuch Zhang hurriedly signaled Xu Xiyue to go out so as not to anger the emperor.
Xu Xiyue had no choice but to go back to Changle Palace to find the fairy to find another way to save the people of Bianzhou.
Lin Yuejiao was furious when she learned that the emperor did not believe what Xu Xiyue said, but after calming down and thinking about it, she realized that words were not enough, and it would be difficult to convince the emperor with just a few words from Xu Xiyue.
"Fairy, what should we do now?" Xu Xiyue was worried. Her parents and brothers were all in Bianzhou, and she was concerned about their safety.
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, then we can only rely on ourselves to deal with the natural disaster..."
But how to avoid disaster?
Lin Yuejiao was thinking, the system said: [Host, you forgot that Xu Xiyue's father is the county magistrate of Bianzhou. You can ask him for help. ]
Yes, with the help of County Magistrate Xu, disaster can be avoided. Even if it cannot be avoided, everyone’s life can be saved as much as possible.
After the system reminded her, Lin Yuejiao had a solution, "Xiyue, write a letter to your father quickly!"
"Write a letter?" Xu Xiyue was stunned, a little confused.
After Lin Yuejiao's explanation, Xu Xiyue couldn't wait to write the letter. After she finished writing the letter, Lin Yuejiao took the letter to find Xu Zhiyu.
The Xu brothers and sisters all believed in her, so when she found Xu Zhiyu and explained her purpose, Xu Zhiyu did not hesitate at all and took the letter to the government office to find his father.
After reading his daughter's letter, County Magistrate Xu remained silent. Lin Yuejiao and Xu Zhiyu were both getting anxious.
"Dad, just trust me and Ayue for once. We dare not fool you about such a big matter!"
Hearing this, County Magistrate Xu glared at his son and said unhappily, "When has Dad never believed in you?"
Xu Zhiyu was speechless and muttered, "Then why don't you send someone to notify the people to evacuate?"
County Magistrate Xu slapped his son on the head and said, "You are stupid. I asked you to study more, but you were not willing to do so. For such a big matter, your father believes in you, but can others believe in you?"
Xu Zhiyu covered his head which was hurt by his old father's slap and grimaced. Lin Yuejiao couldn't help laughing when watching the interaction between the father and son.
County Magistrate Xu looked stern, but he was extremely trusting and caring towards his children, which really made her envious.
County Magistrate Xu did not blindly spread the news that the moat would burst, but first sent people to investigate the safety hazards of the moat.
The officials originally thought that they were worrying too much, as the moat in Bianzhou had a history of a hundred years and had never had any problems.
But when they went to check, they were shocked to find that the water level of the moat had risen a lot compared to previous years, and there were signs of cracks in several parts of the city wall.
The official immediately reported the matter to County Magistrate Xu. After learning about it, County Magistrate Xu sent people to reinforce the moat wall. At the same time, he issued a notice saying that the moat had fallen into disrepair and was in danger of collapse. He asked the people to evacuate the city and move back after the moat wall was repaired and reinforced.
As soon as the notice came out, people all over the city were talking about it, and they didn't believe that the moat would collapse.
At this time, Lin Yuejiao came to the Chu family's ancestral home and told Chu Qingyue that there would be a flood in Bianzhou City soon, and asked him to take his mother and sister back to the dilapidated temple on the mountain first.
She thought Chu Qingyue would not believe it easily, so she was ready to persuade him. Unexpectedly, he did not ask any questions and just said "OK".
Lin Yuejiao stared at him blankly and asked in surprise: "Do you trust me so much?"
