Duan Jiling couldn't help laughing when he heard what Wen Zhimiao said.

"Your mother is right." The corners of her mouth rose slightly and the doubts in her eyes dissipated a lot.

"Oh, don't worry about it. My mother said that if I want to live alone for the rest of my life, that's fine. She doesn't object anyway." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

"Then Miaomiao has a type of man she likes?" Duan Jiling asked curiously.

Wen Zhimiao took a bite of horse hoof: "No, I don't like men"

The people on the pleasure boat have already prepared five boats in total, one for the search and rescue personnel, one for Chu Qiu and another guard, and one for Duan Jiling's guards, a total of five boats.

After all, they were going to a strange island, so Chu Qiu brought along another guard whose martial arts were only second to her and Chu An.

It was Wen Zhimiao’s first time rowing and he wasn’t very good at it. Sitting in the boat, he felt it swaying and was a little nervous.

"It's so small, it really won't fall over?" Wen Zhimiao asked nervously.

"No, just do what I say. Don't be nervous." Duan Jiling looked at Wen Zhimiao's nervous look and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, okay, then you keep an eye on me, I'm a landlubber." Wen Zhimiao muttered softly.

"Miao Miao, you are so cute." Duan Jiling couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't laugh, the boat is shaking, be careful." Wen Zhimiao expressed the feeling of nervousness to the extreme.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh." Duan Jiling tried hard to hold back her laughter, and then began to teach Wen Zhimiao how to row a boat.

Wen Zhimiao had a tense face and looked particularly serious and nervous.

Duan Jiling was talking to her, and Wen Zhimiao listened obediently, looking like a good baby.

Occasionally, he looked up at Duan Jiling with some confusion. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist because of excessive nervousness, which made him look strangely alluring.

Duan Jiling met those eyes and felt inexplicably hot on his face.

"Is that so? Why is it so slow?" Wen Zhimiao muttered softly, trying hard to imitate the rowing movements of Duan Jiling and others.

Looking at Wen Zhimiao's clumsy movements, Duan Jiling taught him patiently.

After paddling for a while, Wen Zhimiao became a little impatient.

"I'm not rowing anymore. I'm so tired. What's the fun in going out to play and having to do all this? " There were already beads of sweat on her forehead.

Her face didn't look very good, and it was obvious at first glance that she was in a bad mood.

Duan Jiling looked at the sour face, but he was not too angry. He just put down the oar in his hand and said, "Okay, Miaomiao, don't be angry. If you don't want to row, then don't row. I'll call the boat over, but you need to wait a while, okay?"

Wen Zhimiao still had a sour face, but finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay."

"Then I'll play a song for you, don't be angry~" Duan Jiling coaxed her gently.

He took out some cakes and fruit drinks from the box behind him, arranged the wooden board in the middle, and placed the things on it: "Take a break."

Wen Zhimiao's expression eased a little when he saw this.

Duan Jiling took out a very small white flute, and Wen Zhimiao couldn't tell what it was made of for a moment.

I just felt that the tune played was very beautiful, and very different from the music of Yunjing. On this empty lake, it seemed as if it was playing in harmony with the wind.

Wen Zhimiao relaxed unconsciously and took a few sips of fruit drink, as if all his fatigue had disappeared.

When Shi Wanyue learned from Chu An that Wen Zhimiao said she was going to a small island outside Nanshao City tonight, and Wen Ke also said that the island was a mixed crowd and was a den of debauchery for the wealthy and powerful in Nanshao City, her face suddenly changed.

Although they heard the hint in Wen Zhimiao's words, the two of them had said on the way here that if Wen Zhimiao wanted to investigate something secretly, he could use shadow puppets as a code.

But even if she knew, Shi Wanyue couldn't help but worry, what if Wen Ke and Duan Jiling teamed up to set up an ambush on the island? How could she dare to take the risk alone?

Shi Wanyue still hurried over and wanted to stop Wen Zhimiao.

But when she arrived, Wen Zhimiao and Duan Jiling had already rowed a long distance away. After all, when Wen Zhimiao asked Chu Qiu to send someone to deliver the message, they were almost about to set off.

Chu Qiu's people sent a message to Shi Wanyue, and Shi Wanyue rushed over. The round trip took a lot of time.

Shi Wanyue stood on the shore, looked angrily for a while, and then saw the two people's boat parked in the middle of the lake.

When they stopped, Shi Wanyue couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, although Wen Zhimiao could swim, she was definitely not as good as Duan Jiling and others who often lived in the south. What's more, she was a newcomer and didn't know the conditions in this area.

just in case...

Shi Wanyue stood on the shore with her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched.

"If Wanyue is really worried, I will send a boat and you and I will go together to bring Miaomiao back." Wen Ke said in a gentle voice beside him.

Shi Wanyue pursed her lips and almost agreed to Wen Ke.

But Wen Ke's words immediately brought her back to her senses. Today was a sunny day and the lake was calm. Duan Jiling would never let Wen Zhimiao sink to the bottom of the lake.

The clenched hands loosened slightly, and Shi Wanyue said coldly: "No need, Your Highness is too spoiled to care about disaster relief and only cares about having fun. After returning to the capital, I will report this to His Majesty and also inform my mother."

Just as I was about to leave, I heard the sound of a flute coming from the lake.

Shi Wanyue snorted in her heart, she was actually leisurely.

He simply waited for Duan Jiling to finish playing the entire piece of music. It was a very unique tune that Shi Wanyue had never heard before.

But it’s undeniably nice to listen to.

"Is this a southern song?" Shi Wanyue asked Wen Ke.

Wen Ke shook his head and said, "I've never heard of him, but the young master of the Duan family is good at music. Everyone in Yunshang City, where the Duan family is, knows him. I heard that at the age of three, he could play pleasant tunes with leaves, attracting birds to sing in harmony."

Shi Wanyue watched Wen Zhimiao applauding Duan Jiling, snorted coldly, and turned away.

"Please send someone to watch over His Highness. Don't let His Highness fall into danger. Otherwise, we can't afford it. Disaster relief is urgent and we need to go back to deal with it. Let's go back."

Today, we still received many requests for help from various cities in the south. Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu are still discussing the routes for evacuating disaster victims and the plan for relieving congestion with Linghu Feng, officials from the Ministry of Works, and officials from the Nanshao Water Conservancy Department.

A major epidemic is likely to occur after a flood, and the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau who accompanied the delegation were also urgently discussing prevention plans with local doctors.

The disaster-stricken area this time is too large. No matter what conspiracies or tricks the Wen, Duan, and Su families have, disaster relief cannot be put on hold.

Wen Zhimiao and the others had been on the boat for three days, and it rained for two days. However, they had been lucky during the two days in Nanshao. It did not rain yesterday, and there was even a little sunshine today.

According to Wen Ke, it had been raining continuously before, and it is still raining in many places in the south.

Such continuous heavy rain will not only cause flooding, but also bring many dangers such as landslides and mud-rock flows.

But Shi Wanyue and Wen Zhimiao had discussed this before. The Wen family and the Su family would not allow Wen Zhimiao to successfully provide disaster relief.

Although Duan wanted to, she did not want the credit to fall on the little prince Wen Zhimiao.

On the first night in Nanshao, the two of them had an agreement that Shi Wanyue would be responsible for arranging disaster relief, and Wen Zhimiao would be responsible for dealing with those guys who had ill intentions in secret.

Shi Wanyue knew that Wen Zhimiao was not really playing, but she was still upset.
