Seeing that Yu Qingli and the others had finally arrived, Murong Yanhui didn't care about the clean clothes on his body. He went forward to support Yu Qingli and brought her into Renhe Building.

The old doctor in Renhe Building had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Yu Qingli came, he went forward to treat her.

After a while, the old man raised his head.

"Sir, how are you injured?" Murong Yan asked with concern.

"It looks like you've injured some of your muscles and bones, but it's nothing serious. I'll give you a massage and then prescribe some medicine for you to go back and heal! Remember to get plenty of rest, and don't move around for the next seven days!"

"Thank you very much, sir!"

Murong Yanhui finally felt relieved and personally stuffed a set of clothes into Yu Qingli's hands, "Go change quickly, don't catch a cold."

Yu Qingli took the clothes, tiptoed, and hopped to the compartment in Renhe Building, looking very embarrassed.

Anyway, she was not killed by the rainstorm!

Thank goodness!

Afterwards, Murong Yanhui personally sent Yu Qingli back to the mansion. When Yu Zhengsha asked about Yu Qingli's injury, she just said that she accidentally sprained her ankle while trying to avoid the rain, and then she happened to meet Murong Yanhui, who sent her back.

Although Yu Zhengsha was a little bit unconvinced, he could only go along with it. After all, he really couldn't explain why Yu Qingli went out with Master Yu but was sent back by King Yan.

It really confused him.

When Mei Hong saw that Yu Qingli had injured her foot, her heart and eyes were filled with worry and concern, and she wished she could take her place.

Fortunately, the matters of the shop have been arranged for the time being, so Yu Qingli does not need to worry. She believes that with Master Yu taking over, the business of the shop will be very prosperous. Moreover, this heavy rain will continue to fall, so she can have some free time for the next half month.

Days of heavy rain caused the water level in Luoyang City to surge. Sure enough, on the third day of the heavy rain, a dam burst!

The news spread like wildfire, and Master Yu was even more shocked, because the place where the dam broke was exactly the same as the place Yu Qingli had described at the time. The slight doubt he had originally held disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, an urgent secret letter was delivered to His Majesty.

In the imperial study, the air was filled with the aroma of incense. The well-maintained face of the current emperor, Murong Shiling, was filled with confusion. On the large sandalwood desk lay a memorial with wet ink on it. The writer's anxiety could be seen from the sloppy handwriting.

A young man stood tall and straight, with a handsome face but no expression. He was wearing a long robe with dark cloud brocade patterns, with his brows lowered, standing respectfully in front of Murong Shileng.

This person is the current crown prince Murong Cheng!

"Cheng'er, this urgent memorial, sent over eight hundred miles, says there will be flooding in the south of the Yangtze River this year, and asks me to make early preparations. It also says that the Luoyang River is flooding and that some dams have already begun to breach. In your opinion, is this true or false?"

Murong Cheng thought for a moment and said seriously, "In the summer, it's common for the river to flood. But this year it's still early summer. If it's already bursting its banks, I'm afraid a flood is imminent. It's better to believe it than not!"

Murong Shiling nodded slightly in satisfaction. "That's what I meant. Fortunately, the imperial court allocates funds to Jiangnan every year for preparation. There haven't been any floods in the past two years, so I think the remaining funds are still there. We don't need to deal with anything special this year."

"Your Majesty, what you say makes sense. Besides, we don't understand the situation right now. If we rashly allocate funds, I'm afraid those greedy people will take the opportunity to enrich themselves, which will only delay the disaster."

Murong Shiling closed the memorial and said, "Well, let's just wait and see what happens! Instruct all government offices in Jiangnan to be prepared at all times. Being prepared is the best strategy."

"Yes, I will give the order right away."

What Murong Shileng didn't know was that his words of waiting and watching would result in tens of thousands more disaster victims in Luoyang City.

Murong Shiling leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes comfortably. Seeing that Murong Cheng had not left yet, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Anything else?"

"Officials in Jiangnan hope the imperial court will send someone to conduct an on-site survey of the disaster. I wonder who the Emperor has decided is the most suitable person to go?"

Murong Shiling's eyes widened. "Most of the officials in the court have lived in the north for years and are unfamiliar with floods. Oh, isn't Prime Minister Yu still in Beijing? Plus, he's from the south himself, making him the perfect fit for this position. Cheng'er, draft an imperial decree immediately, giving Yu Zhengsha full responsibility for this year's floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Yes!"

Murong Cheng walked out of the imperial study, and a man who looked like a eunuch quickly came up to him, "Your Highness, what's going on?!"

"The Emperor has already assigned Prime Minister Yu to take charge of the flooding in Jiangnan."

"Then what about Young Master Yu..."

Murong Cheng paused. "I'll write back to the young master immediately and ask him to continue to pay close attention to the flood situation in Jiangnan. I also heard that the young lady of the Yu family has purchased a large amount of food. Could it be that Prime Minister Yu has already started preparing for the flood in Jiangnan? Let Young Master Yu investigate!"

"Slave, you obey!"

The eunuch quickly disappeared into the lush imperial garden, as if he had never appeared.

The disaster in the south of the Yangtze River could not be delayed any longer. The continuous heavy rain had already washed away the dikes that had not been built in those years. When Yu Zhengsha received the order, the water in the Luo River had drowned most of the crops in the farmland.

Yu Zhengsha respectfully took the imperial edict, feeling heavy in his heart. It seemed that this time, he was in big trouble.

For seven consecutive days, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River has not subsided at all, but has instead shown a tendency to intensify. The heavy rains in recent days have made people afraid to go out, and even the vegetables on the street have become much more expensive.

Yu Qingli has been very free these days. Her foot injury has not healed yet, so she can't go anywhere. She simply stays at home and reads medical books. It's not that she is heartless, but she is just a little girl. Even if she knows that the flood will happen in Jiangnan, she can't stop it, right? What's more,

With her omnipotent father at her disposal, if she acted rashly, it would only cause unnecessary trouble.

Although she was resting at home, Yu Qingli didn't feel bored. Master Yu and Murong Yan would take turns to come to see her every day, but their purposes were different.

Young Master Yu often came here for the flood and business, and as for Murong Yanhui, it seemed that he was just bored.

Yu Qingli sighed inwardly, picked up the fine tea in her hand and took a sip, then glanced sideways at Murong Yanhui who was sitting next to her.

Yu Zhengsha has been busy with disaster relief these two days, so the task of entertaining guests naturally fell on her.

It is said that one should not bully guests. No matter how good his temper is, he cannot stand Murong Yan coming three times a day. Does he realize that his legs and feet are still injured?

Murong Yanhui was quite contented, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and after taking a sip of tea, he sighed, "Lili, although this Queshe tea is good, it's not as good as the Dahongpao. I'll bring some for you to try tomorrow."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. If you have so much free time, why not go and help the disaster victims? At least you can accumulate some merit, right?"

"I didn't expect Lili to be so compassionate. Even sitting at home, she still cares about national affairs. This year's floods are really severe. It seems that the Prime Minister has had a difficult time these days, right?"

"I don't need to worry about whether it's okay or not, Your Highness. I just don't know why Your Highness came here today?"

These past few days, Murong Yanhui would come over from time to time, bringing along some precious items. He would stuff them into her hands regardless of whether she wanted them or not, leaving her speechless. She really didn't know what this person wanted to do.

The morning of the day before yesterday, they received two thousand-year-old ginsengs, in the afternoon, they received top-quality Ganoderma lucidum, and yesterday, they received a priceless red coral pendant and a huge night-shining pearl from the deep sea. Not to mention all the miscellaneous valuables he had received the day before yesterday and before, from food to clothing to toys, almost everything was sent back by Murong Yanhui.

Even Mei Hong noticed something and asked Yu Qingli in a low voice, "Could it be that Murong Yanhui has taken a fancy to her?"

Seeing Yu Qingli asking indifferently what he had brought today, Murong Yanhui suddenly became energetic.

He took out a somewhat tattered book from his arms and handed it to Yu Qingli.

"what is this?"

Yu Qingli was a little surprised. In the past, the books were filled with priceless jewels and the like, but today was different. She looked down and saw two big words written on the book - "Medical Book".

I was stunned. How did this person know that I had been studying medical books these past few days? And what exactly was this tattered thing? It looked very old.

"This is?!"

"How is it? Do you like this gift? This is something I painstakingly obtained from the palace library. It contains records of various rare and difficult diseases and their treatments. It was probably written down by the imperial physicians when they had nothing better to do. Although it's a bit damaged, after so many years of accumulation, it should be of some use!"

Yu Qingli was slightly moved when she heard this. This was more than just useful. It was the painstaking work of the imperial physicians. Those who could become imperial physicians must have accumulated experience over many years and learned from the strengths of hundreds of schools. Only then did they have these superb medical skills that they could use at will.

This person can really give her a surprise!

Looking at Yu Qingli's complicated face, Murong Yanhui somehow understood her mood at the moment. She should be very happy, but she just didn't show it. This girl, who was only sixteen years old, often showed a maturity that was not in line with her age.

I really don't know where this indifference and apathy comes from. Could it be that her childhood was extremely miserable?

Seeing Murong Yanhui staring at her face, Yu Qingli turned her head away awkwardly, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a hint of dissatisfaction in the eyes of Mei Hong who had been standing next to her.

That look seemed to be expressing injustice for someone, and also seemed to carry a sense of unwillingness, which made Yu Qingli a little frightened!

Mei Hong was truly disgruntled. Ever since this inexplicable prince had been coming to see her for the past few days, she had been feeling deeply unhappy. She was the eldest prince's daughter, so what right did this man have to snatch her away?!
