The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Xie Qian'an's eyes gradually became sharper, and his hands under his clothes suddenly clenched into fists.

He actually admitted it. He was indeed tempted by the Shen family's money.

No wonder he suddenly came to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion on the day of the birthday banquet and offered to help.

If it weren't for him, how could the Shen family leave the Yongning Marquis Mansion?

After a long while, Xie Qianan finally calmed down and regained his gentle demeanor. "Third brother, you are still too young. Not everything you want in this world can be obtained. You should always leave yourself a way out when you act."

Xie Nanyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of disdain. A man who wanted to expand his power by marrying and swallowing up his wife's dowry actually had the nerve to teach him how to do things.

"Prince An, please do not worry about how I act. I heard that Prince An's palace has a new concubine. She is a beauty by his side. Prince An should focus his attention on her."

"After all, that's the beauty you couldn't wait to favor at your birthday party. It would be a shame if you just carried her back to be used as a decoration." Xie Nanyuan's tone was full of sarcasm.

"You!" Xie Qian'an gritted his teeth.

How dare this little bastard mock him!

It was just that he was lucky, being born in the womb of the late queen, and having the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, a foreign family with a large army, take him to the battlefield and give him all the military merits, otherwise how could he be so arrogant in front of him.

"Third brother, are you determined to go against me?"

Xie Nanyuan glanced at Xie Qian'an and said, "You think too much. I don't have the time to care about your affairs."

Xie Qi'an's brows relaxed, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Xie Nanyuan say, "Although this king disdains to pay attention to you, the Shen family is the one I must protect. If you insist on attacking the Shen family, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Xie Nanyuan finished speaking, he didn't even look at Xie Qian'an's ugly face, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Lin Ze paused for a moment, rolled his eyes at Xie Qian'an, and then followed Xie Nanyuan.

What the hell!

What they did really brought shame to the royal family!

The sky was dim, and a steady stream of rain fell from the dark clouds, splashing tiny drops of water on the bluestone slabs and wetting the moon-white brocade robe.

The attendant's face was filled with anger: "Your Highness, this Prince Rui is too much. You are his elder brother after all, but he actually speaks to you like this. He simply doesn't take you seriously!"

Xie Qian'an's face was expressionless, his voice icy cold, "He's always been like this. Relying on the favor of the emperor, his status as the legitimate son, and the military merits bestowed upon him by the Duke of Zhenguo, he looks down on everyone. How could he have ever taken us, his brothers born to concubines, seriously?"

The attendant sneered, "The late queen has been dead for so many years. Death is the end of all debts. If the current queen gave birth to a legitimate son, would Prince Rui still be so favored?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold gaze fell on him, and the follower's body stiffened.

How could he forget that the prince was most worried about the current queen giving birth to a legitimate son, and he also hated others saying that he was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son.

The attendant knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Highness, please calm down. It was I who spoke too much."

Xie Qianan snorted coldly, and after a while he said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The attendant stood up.

Xie Qian'an's gaze fell on the corner where Xie Nanyuan disappeared, his eyes flickering, "Go check what my good third brother did when he entered the palace today."

"Yes, I obey your command." The follower responded and left in a hurry.

The rain grew heavier, and as the last white figure left, the palace road returned to peace.

-

The spring rain was continuous, and a few drops of rain were carried into the house by the spring breeze. The magnolia flowers blooming on the windowsill trembled from time to time.

As soon as Shen Qionghua got up, she received a letter from Xie Nanyuan from An Yi.

She opened the letter and after reading its contents, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

Prince Rui actually persuaded the emperor to reinforce the river embankment in advance!

Shen Qionghua sat on the embroidery stool, placed her left hand on her chest, gently soothing her accelerated heartbeat.

She never thought that Prince Rui would actually tell the Emperor about this matter. She originally told Prince Rui about this matter just to let Prince Rui be prepared, so she made up an old farmer. However, she did not expect that Prince Rui would give her such a big surprise.

She considered herself a selfish person, and after being reborn, she did not have the courage to speak out about this matter directly.

Human nature is complicated, and the Shen family is not well-off, and she is a woman. If she tells it, what if the people don't believe her and burn her to death as a monster?

Even if she believed it, human life was insignificant in the face of disasters, and those who had lost their loved ones and lost their minds would not be grateful to her. They might even think that it was her lies that misled the people and caused the disaster, and then she would still not be able to escape death.

Shen Qionghua was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of the death of A Niang and A Yi. If she died, A Yi was still young, and with A Niang's weak character, she would definitely not be a match for the Yongning Marquisate and Prince An.

But if she were asked to pretend that she knew nothing and watch those people die, she would feel guilty.

Even if she finally protected the Shen family and avenged the Yongning Marquisate, she would probably live the rest of her life in fear and regret.

In the letter, Prince Rui mentioned that in order to avoid it being a false alarm and to better convince the emperor, he said that the person who met the old farmer was actually himself.

Shen Qionghua had no objection to this. She had only reminded Prince Rui implicitly because of her guilty conscience and did not want to draw any attention to this matter. The Shen family could not afford the consequences.

Even though there was a reward afterwards, Shen Qionghua was not jealous at all. She just hinted to King Rui, but the method of reinforcing the river embankment in advance was thought up by King Rui himself.

King Rui did not know what kind of disaster this was, but Shen Qionghua knew it because of her experience in the previous life.

In the previous life, the rain lasted for more than a month, and floods occurred in many places in Daiyue. The area south of the Yangtze River was the most severely affected, and many villages were flooded.

The people had no choice but to flee to the north with their remaining relatives. The capital is still peaceful now, but after a while, you can see ragged people begging on the streets everywhere, and even fighting over a dirty steamed bun.

Thinking back to the tragic scene of wailing everywhere in the capital in the previous life, Shen Qionghua now feels a chill.

She did not tell King Rui exactly what kind of disaster would happen, but King Rui chose to reinforce the river embankment. Isn't this a kind of fate?

There is still more than a month before the flood. If the construction starts as soon as the imperial edict is issued, it will be completely in time. Even if some places are too late, a large number of casualties can be reduced, and the court's disaster relief measures can be tilted towards those areas, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the national treasury.

The heavy stone in Shen Qionghua's heart fell, and the depression between his brows disappeared.

She placed the letter on a candle and lit it, watching it burn to ashes bit by bit.

Xie Qian'an, in your previous life, you pretended to be very concerned about the people in front of me. You used the empty treasury as an excuse to trick me into taking out a large sum of money for disaster relief, and you made a great contribution in front of the emperor.

In this life, you work in the Ministry of Revenue. Without the Shen family's money, can you still use this incident to make the emperor look at you differently?

I'm really looking forward to it...
