Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

In just a few breaths, the flood had reached my feet.

At the end of the team, there were several people who were unwilling to give up their bags. They were carrying them on their backs, holding them in their arms, or hanging them on their arms, which seriously affected their own marching speed.

Until the flood reached their waists, they could no longer stand and were washed out of the team. In panic, they let go of the things in their hands without thinking, but it was too late.

An old lady was swimming upstream in thigh-deep water, crying and shouting, and trying to pull out a person who had been washed away and only his head was visible and hidden in the muddy water.

"Auntie! It's dangerous!" The soldiers pulled the person over, and the next moment, a piece of driftwood hit the place where the two of them had just stood.

The old lady was startled and looked back. There was no human figure in the rolling waves, only various ruins rising and falling.

"Old, Old Zhang..." The old lady collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

She lost her home, her family, everything! She was left alone as an old woman. How was she supposed to live?

"Don't worry, Auntie. The imperial court will help us, and Bian Lucheng will take us in!"

Lu Yanlin stumbled over, his official uniform wet under his straw raincoat, but he kept comforting the old lady and also said the same thing to the people around him.

The desperate faces of the people finally showed some hope.

Bianlu City is much better than the small village they stayed in before.

The old lady who was originally wailing gradually stopped crying and was supported by the officers and soldiers as she left the dangerous place step by step.

But she never looked up at the rolling waves again.

The heavy rain is still pouring down, and no one knows how long it will last.

The Ya'an City, 200 miles away, was also greatly affected. Fortunately, Feng Xili had warned them beforehand, and Emperor Qi Zhao had also made arrangements in advance. Although the water level of the Huaijing Canal had risen a lot, the river channel had not exceeded its limit.

However, the dangerous situation in Bianlu City continued. The signalmen rushed back and forth to deliver letters every day, but the latest news they received was only from the previous day.

Emperor Qi Zhao would throw memorials in the face of the Minister of Works during the morning court session every day. All the ministers dared not breathe, watching the Minister of Works trembling with his face covered in bruises from being hit by memorials.

"A mere official from the Ministry of Water Resources is so powerful! I'm so close to such a large project, and they only discovered the hidden dangers after so long after its completion. Is he planning a rebellion?!"

Emperor Qi Zhao was furious. Mu Lanxun had explained all the shoddy work in Chungai on the first day, and sent them to him word for word, including the confiscated account books that recorded every penny of project funds that went into private pockets.

These incidents stimulated Emperor Qi Zhao so much that he had to stay awake until dawn every day. He thought that because of his diligence and honesty, Shangli Kingdom would be prosperous. Unexpectedly, a small reservoir would tear off all his veils.

In the entire Ministry of Works, from the Minister of Works to the doctors and the principals, almost everyone was held accountable, and some were removed or replaced.

The people in the Ministry of Works were worried every day, wishing they could go to Bianlu City immediately to redeem themselves for their crimes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Eunuch Fude winked at the side, his eyes sparkling.

Emperor Qi Zhao's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately understood. He waved his hand and said, "Dismiss the court!"

So people were silent, their eyes full of disbelief. Is this the end?

"Are you awake? Are you really awake?" Emperor Qi Zhao hurried out of the court and headed straight for Chunhui Palace.

Ford followed closely behind, his old face relaxed, "The palace maid came to report that the princess has indeed woken up."

"Great, hurry up, hurry up!"

When Feng Xili opened her hazy eyes, she saw a row of imperial doctors kneeling beside her bed, each looking at her with tears of gratitude.

She knew that she had probably scared a lot of people this time.

"Li You!" Emperor Qi Zhao rushed to the bedside like a gust of wind, and met Feng Xili's guilty eyes.

Instantly, the emperor's eyes turned red and he waved his hand, "Everyone, get out!"

"Oh my God! My Grand Princess! Please don't scare me anymore. If you don't want to be a princess, just tell me. I will restore your status as Grand Princess even if it costs me my life."

Feng Xili looked embarrassed. She really didn't think so. It was just that the more she dreamed, the bigger her reaction became.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Li You really feels that things are fine now."

"What's going on?" Emperor Qi Zhao moved a stool and sat beside the bed, forgetting his imperial image.

Ford grimaced as he watched, carefully blocking the door.

She sat on the bed and smiled shyly at Emperor Qi Zhao. "The art of divination is considered to reveal the secrets of heaven. I am just receiving some punishment from heaven. I just need to take good care of myself from now on."

Emperor Qi Zhao did not expect to hear this reason. His expression froze slightly and he was speechless for a moment, his heart full of complex contradictions.

"Your Majesty, how is Concubine Yun?"
