After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 590 The storm is coming
Yu Qingli stood by the window, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She always felt that this trip to Jiangnan might not be too smooth.
"Miss, Gang Leader Sha and his men have sent a letter by carrier pigeon." Xiluo knocked on the door and came in, holding a pigeon in his hand.
"What did you write?" Yu Qingli asked lightly, still looking up at the sky.
Xiluo opened the letter, his expression changed, and he handed it over, "Miss, you should read it yourself."
Yu Qingli's expression changed immediately after she took the letter. She did not come here to relieve the disaster, but mostly for her business in Jiangnan, so she sent Sha Qianli and others ahead.
Who would have thought that the disaster in Jiangnan had reached a point where it could not be contained? According to Sha Qianli's report, starting from tomorrow, the counties along the way would be filled with starving people.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only take it one step at a time."
"But are we just going to let this disease spread?"
"We don't know if this disease is the same as the last one. We can only make a conclusion after we get it."
"That's right, but I didn't expect the disaster in Jiangnan to be so serious. What on earth are those local officials doing?" Xiluo was angry.
Yu Qingli lit the letter in her hand, watched it burn to ashes, and then said lightly: "You will know from tomorrow."
A loud thunder rolled across the dome, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
Yu Qingli turned her head to look at the smoke and dust outside the window, and said calmly: "The storm is coming, I want to see, how can the eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned."
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure flashed in from the door. Yu Qingli just frowned slightly. At this moment, she really had no intention of talking to Murong Yanhui. What's more, Murong Feng and the others were right next door, so she naturally had to be more cautious.
Murong Yan looked back at Yu Qingli and saw that her expression was not right. She did not bother to keep her in suspense and just put the letter she had just received into Yu Qingli's hand. Along with the letter, there was also a unique pendant.
"what is this?"
Yu Qingli was puzzled, but she saw Murong Yanhui signaling her to read the letter first. After reading the expedited letter, Yu Qingli was surprised and happy, and even her previous worries were swept away.
"This is real?"
"When has this prince ever lied to you? Besides, it won't be long before this news gets here."
Yu Qingli tightly grasped the delicate jade pendant with her fingers, wanting only to laugh out loud. When she thought about the dungeon that Murong Feng regarded as his trump card being wiped out, she became so excited that she could hardly control herself.
I didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, the team would fall into my hands.
At the same time, a galloping horse hurriedly stopped at the gate of the Jiangnan Governor's government office. The rider was covered in dust and seemed to be a regular visitor. He entered the inner courtyard directly without being notified.
There was a dim light in the study. The governor was sitting at the table, reading a book, shaking his head. When the door was pushed open with a "bang", he was frightened and blushed. He hurriedly hid the book in his hand in the pile of books on the table. The cover of the book flashed and revealed three words: "New Edition of Spring Palace Picture".
The governor hid the book in his mouth and muttered, "Madam, madam, why don't you knock on the door again?"
Seeing that the visitor was silent, the fat governor raised his head and saw the knight's stiff face. This time, his face twitched more obviously.
The fat body suddenly stood up, and its greasy belly scraped over the teacups and books on the table, scattering them all over the floor.
"Why are you here, sir? Come, come, please take a seat." The governor smiled flatteringly.
The visitor said nothing, but took out a letter with a lacquer seal from his bosom and handed it out.
The governor-general hurriedly opened the letter and took a look. His expression immediately changed. "How did His Majesty know about this?"
The visitor remained silent, just staring at the letter in the governor's hand. He thought about it, read it again, and then put the letter on the candle to melt it.
The visitor then turned around and left with satisfaction, without saying a word from beginning to end.
After the visitor left, the governor slumped down in his chair. After a while, he jumped up and shouted, "Butler, butler, go and get the prefects here!"
The housekeeper went away in response. The governor was standing in the yard. Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a roar of thunder, which came with an overwhelming momentum.
The Governor-General shrank his neck, looking at the sky that seemed poised for rain, and couldn't help but ask, "Who on earth brought this to the attention of His Majesty?"
The person who caused the trouble must be caught, but now is not the time to catch him.
The governor walked back and forth in the mansion a few times, then stretched his neck and called out, "Butler, is anyone here?"
The old butler rushed in and said, "Master, it's only been half an incense stick, how can it be so fast?"
"Only half an incense stick?" The governor was stunned. Why did he suddenly feel like the days were passing by so slowly? He paced back and forth anxiously. Just then, a man walked in with a reluctant look on his face. "My dear brother, what are you doing so late at night? My pink butterfly is waiting for me."
"Wait, tell her to wait for you to collect your body!" The governor's face changed. "You still have the leisure to visit brothels!"
The man was startled when he saw the governor's appearance. He moved closer to take a closer look. Feeling that he was not joking, he lowered his voice and asked, "What happened to make you like this?"
"Hmph," the Governor snorted coldly, "Wait until they come and tell me together, or I'll get too angry."
"Yes, yes." The visitor responded and ran out of the yard to greet people.
The governor leaned back in the huge chair, staring out the window with fierce eyes. Even if someone stabbed him in the back, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. Besides, there was someone watching over him, right?
The Governor-General sat up with a whirlwind. He had been in the political arena for many years and had seen all kinds of storms. He was just the Crown Prince, so what was he afraid of?!
The governor slowly walked to the door of the house. A thunder rumbled by. He looked up at the sky, and a rare determination suddenly bloomed on his fat face.
Burn your boats, the worst that can happen is that both you and your net will be destroyed!
Just when the governor was feeling anxious, Yu Qingli and his group, who were originally on their way to Jiangnan, were also not having a smooth journey. Just when the good news came, heavy rain collapsed the mountain road, blocking Yu Qingli and his group directly on the road.
The rain was pouring down, and the female relatives accompanying them were arranged on the carriages. Murong Cheng and others also got on the carriages and headed directly to the nearest post station.
It is definitely impossible to continue on the road with such heavy rain, and no one knows when the washed away road can be repaired.
Except for Murong Feng and his sister, everyone else in Yu Qingli's group was frowning. They were all worried that the longer the time dragged on, the more people would die. Especially now that it was summer, the plague spread very quickly. If the situation was as serious as reported, the entire Pei County area would probably be littered with corpses.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pouring rain almost submerged everything in the world.
In the hall of the post station, several people were discussing countermeasures, while Murong Feng found an excuse to stay in the room with Murong Yuan.
Murong Cheng's face was serious. "Little Uncle, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
Murong Yanhui also looked thoughtful. He really didn't expect the current situation. There was a landslide. If they wanted to leave here successfully, they might have to find someone to repair the mountain road. However, this would take at least ten days or half a month. They could wait, but the victims couldn't.
It's really distressing!
"I have an idea, but I wonder if it's feasible!"
Lin Yutang spoke hesitantly. Logically, he should be staying with Murong Feng now, but seeing the indifference under Murong Feng's gentle face, Lin Yutang seemed to understand why Yu Qingli was against him.
A prince who is so indifferent to the lives of the people will not care about the people of the world even if he ascends the throne. What kind of indifferent heart is hidden under that seemingly gentle face?
Almost instantly, Lin Yutang felt a surge of heartache. Could it be that Yu Qingli had seen this clearly, and was secretly opposing the Crown Prince? She even disregarded her own safety?
"What exactly does Lord Lin have in mind? Tell us!"
When he came to his senses, he saw Murong Yan looking at him with a half-smile. The warning in her eyes made his heart skip a beat, and he quickly shifted his gaze away from Yu Qingli, which had been unconsciously on him.
"Ahem..." Lin Yutang concealed his embarrassment, then said calmly, "I thought we could take the water route. Jiangnan has many waterways. Instead of being trapped here and waiting, it's better to take a detour by water."
"That's a good idea," Yu Qingli praised. "According to the map, if we take the water route, it will only take three days at most to get there."
Murong Cheng also nodded in satisfaction. Only Murong Yanhui seemed unhappy, but he did not raise any objections.
Lin Yutang was very happy that his suggestion was affirmed by Yu Qingli, and his handsome face was slightly flushed. However, this scene made Murong Yanhui even more upset.
At the same time, in Murong Feng's room, Murong Yuan was walking back and forth anxiously.
"Royal brother, why don't we participate in the discussion? If they come up with any good ideas, won't the crown prince take all the credit?"
Murong Feng was calm and composed. He took a sip of tea nonchalantly, then pushed the teacup aside with disgust.
"The tea at this post station is really bad."
"Brother Emperor!"
Murong Yuan was so angry that she couldn't help but raise her voice. She was so anxious that she was dying. If the credit went to Murong Cheng, wouldn't they be at a loss? What's more, Lin Yutang was still outside. Although he was not alone with Yu Qingli, it was enough to make her worried.
I really don’t know what these men are thinking. What’s so good about Yu Qingli? She is cold all day long, like a natural ice cube. What’s so attractive about her?
Humph! Men are really cheap. They don't like a passionate and cheerful woman like her, but they like an ice cube!
