Ancient natural disasters, walking sideways in the maximum level space!

Watching countless precious gold and silver slip away before her eyes, she was heartbroken! !

I pounded my head and lowered my head to eat, and the meat in my mouth didn't taste good anymore.

Prince Shou sensitively noticed that she was in a low mood, so he asked Lu Bai to bring her the crab meat he had peeled.

This is brought by fishermen on the coast who chisel ice to catch fish every day. Every day, soldiers and civilians fish on the ice that is more than ten meters thick.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can not only catch fish, but also crabs and other seafood, adding another dish to every household's table.

A small plate of crab meat was placed in front of her. Jiang Yue looked up and saw that it was Lu Bai.

Lu Bai gave her a look and smiled slightly.

Jiang Yue turned to look at the King of Shou at the other table and nodded in thanks.

Looking at the clean crab meat being removed in front of me, I suddenly felt better.

Eat it slowly, spoonful by spoonful, it tastes delicious and has its own fresh fragrance.

The most important thing is that you don’t have to peel it yourself!

tasty! !

Prince Rong did not return, but took this opportunity to lead his army into the wilderness.

Emperor Mingde sent people to deliver supplies. With the support of the logistics department, the wilderness was under their control in just half a month.

Jiang Yue saw Prince Rong again a month later. He returned triumphantly with his army, and Prince Ying was still trapped in the wooden prison cart.

King Rong and his army were exhausted from the journey, their hair covered in snow.

Like a moving snowman, the military camp outside the city immediately became busy.

Boil water, cook food, and Emperor Mingde orders the soldiers to be rewarded well.

Prince Rong and the eldest prince of Liang pushed Prince Ying into the city to meet the emperor.

"Father, I have fulfilled my mission. My eldest cousin and I have successfully conquered the wilderness. These are the letters we found in the palace of the King of England, alleging treason between the King of England and Southern Xinjiang."

Emperor Mingde took the letter and became more and more angry.

The letter clearly stated that the King of England agreed to help Southern Xinjiang and how to divide the territory of Daxia after success.

Even the King of England was willing to cede two-thirds of his country's land area to southern Xinjiang!

"How dare you! You coward! You are a royal descendant after all, yet you ceded two-thirds of the territory to Southern Xinjiang.

You've ruined our ancestors' legacy like this. Aren't you afraid they'll come looking for you in the middle of the night?!"

Emperor Mingde was not angry that King Ying wanted to seize his throne. After all, there were few royal descendants who did not want to be emperor, and he was used to it.

What made him angry was that the King of England actually dared to cede territory and sell out his country for personal gain!

Now his cowardly look made him even more furious.

The man kneeling on the ground looked ashen. He had only two sons, one was dead and the other was imprisoned.

There is no hope.

His eyes were dull and he ignored people's calls.

He was thrown directly into prison and interrogated by people sent by King Rong. They would make him confess everything about the conspiracy between King Ying and Southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang is now under the control of Prince Rong, and there are still many things to be done there.

He returned a few days later and was stationed on the border between Lingnan and southern Xinjiang.

Jiang Yue couldn't sleep that night, so she took a telescope and looked at the dark sky on the roof.

She always felt that the darkness of the sky was very strange, and wondered if the polar night was like this.

How come there isn't even a single star here?

As I was watching, someone sat down next to me silently.

Jiang Yue subconsciously fell backwards and almost stepped on air.

Prince Rong grabbed his arm and supported him.

"Oh my god! Cousin Rong Wang, you asked? You scared me."

Jiang Yue wrapped her cloak tightly and stared at Prince Rong in shock.

After the man helped her sit down, he touched his nose and looked at the little face he had been thinking about so much.

The weather was too cold, and there was a constant cold wind blowing on the roof. Jiang Yue's face was covered with a cotton mask, and only a pair of wet eyes could be seen.

"I'm sorry, Yue'er. It's my fault. I scared you."

Jiang Yue raised her gloved hands and immediately waved them left to right.

"No need to apologize, cousin Rong Wang, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to go back to the border tomorrow? Why aren't you resting yet?"

Prince Rong looked at her and said nothing for a while.

He just turned around and looked into the distance, and was silent for a few seconds before a low and hoarse voice sounded.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. Yue'er, would you...would you like to go to the border with me?"

The man hesitated, thought about it, and asked.

If nothing unexpected happens, he may stay there until the polar night is over.

During this period, he could not see Jiang Yue.

In the past, Prince Rong would not have worried that there was no one better than him around Jiang Yue.

But now Prince Shou obviously has a good impression of her, and the two have plenty of opportunities to get along.

He felt a sense of crisis. He felt bad that he couldn't see her and that he was worried every day that there were other men around her.

So he wanted to take Jiang Yue away, even if it was just to deceive her temporarily.

Jiang Yue looked at Prince Rong's expectant eyes and was horrified.

Why did Prince Rong ask her if she wanted to go to the border defense?

Looking at the man's serious and affectionate eyes, Jiang Yue felt something strange in her heart.

he.

not.

Do you like yourself?

No way? ?

They are cousins!!!

Jiang Yue's brain was a little confused by this speculation. How could cousins ​​be together?

This is a close relative!!

Then I thought about it and realized that cousins ​​could get married in ancient times.

In addition to siblings, cousins ​​can also get married.

At that time, the ancients did not have the awareness that close relatives could not marry, nor did they have a clear understanding of giving birth to unhealthy children.

It’s not Prince Rong’s fault, but she can tell him.

"Brother Rong Wang, we are cousins."

A questioning look crossed the man's handsome face, and then he nodded, "Yes, I know."

"So, we are close relatives." Jiang Yue twisted her gloves, not knowing how to say it so as not to hurt this cousin who had always been nice to her.

The man's doubts deepened, "So?"

"That's right...close relatives can't get married." Jiang Yue hesitated for a while and said it in one go.

A look of astonishment appeared on the man's face. "Why? Since ancient times, there have been many cases of cousins ​​marrying each other. I've never heard of cousins ​​not being able to marry?"

"That's because you don't know. The dangers of consanguineous marriage are very serious. The children born will be exposed to many risks, such as congenital diseases, genetic abnormalities, facial defects, and even more serious ones, death."

Prince Rong looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief, thinking that it was something he had never heard of before and was extremely bizarre.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Jiang Yue asked him earnestly, "Cousin, think about it carefully. Since ancient times, the fertility rate in Daxia has been very low. Are many women prone to miscarriage when they get pregnant?"

Isn't the fertility rate recorded in the government office reported to the court every year? You should know this.

Furthermore, at least half of children born to close relatives will die young or suffer from various congenital diseases.”

The man remained silent. Of course he knew all this.

Every year, there is a department specifically responsible for counting the births of newborns, and the reports will be submitted before the end of the year.

But even the imperial physician said that this was caused by various reasons, and no one had ever thought about inbreeding.

is this real?

Seeing his expression change, Jiang Yue quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Cousin, if you don't believe me, you can have someone investigate later. Then you'll know whether what I said is true or not. It's best to inform the people about the dangers of inbreeding."

Prince Rong looked at her, feeling conflicted between his conscience and his desires.

Someone told him that Jiang Yue was looking for an excuse to reject him politely.

Someone calmly told him that what Jiang Yue said was true. She could make medicine and had a special identity, so it was not difficult for her to know some of the truth.

I decided to send someone to investigate cases of infant mortality and congenital diseases first.

We’ll talk about it later, but he doesn’t want to give up!
