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

The spring rain never stops. It was just a drizzle a few days ago, but after a while, it has become heavier.

Since Xie Nanyuan entered the palace that day, he has been paying attention to the movements everywhere. Now seeing that the rain shows no sign of stopping, he feels worried but also a little relieved.

Fortunately, he went to the palace and told the emperor about the method of reinforcing the river embankment, and he was also fortunate that the emperor adopted his suggestion to prevent the disaster from happening.

Not only were Prince Rui's people concerned about when the spring rain would stop, many families in the capital felt that the rain had been going on for too long.

Tai Chi Hall.

The emperor has been in a bad mood in recent days, and all the palace servants in Taiji Palace are trembling with fear. Even Li Shunquan, the chief eunuch and the emperor's most popular person, has been working in fear recently, for fear of angering the emperor.

Inside the palace.

Xie Rong looked at Envoy Wu in front of him with a look of surprise. "It's been raining for more than half a month. Is this what you call normal?"

Although the weather was exceptionally cool, beads of sweat appeared on Wu Zhengshi's forehead.

Wu Zhengshi secretly felt unlucky. Half a month later, the emperor summoned him to an audience and asked some questions about the climate. He confidently said that there was no problem.

Now half a month has passed and the rain has not stopped. While the emperor is worried and depressed, I have become the scapegoat.

But this... Although the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has the responsibility to observe celestial phenomena and predict good and bad luck, it is ultimately a human being, not a god. If there are abnormal celestial phenomena before a disaster strikes, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory naturally has no choice but to take responsibility.

But if the celestial phenomena remain unchanged, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory does not have the divine power to predict what will happen next.

Who would have thought that the spring rain, which falls every year, has not stopped for more than ten days this year.

But Envoy Wu could not say any of this, as he had sensed that the person on the dragon throne was displeased. If he dared to say so, he would probably be dead.

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and knelt on the ground with a thud. "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I observed the celestial phenomena last night and found nothing unusual. My colleagues in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory can all testify to this."

"Your Majesty, I know I bear some responsibility for this matter, but the most urgent task is to stop this spring rain as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid it will be the people of Dawn who will suffer!"

"Oh, do you have a way to stop the rain?" Xie Rong said lightly.

Wu Zhengshi choked. He really wanted to pat the emperor on the head and tell him that he was a human being, not a god.

If I had such ability, why would I be so humble here, afraid that he would chop off my head if he got angry?

Wu Zhengshi's face was filled with grief, and he banged his forehead against the ground with a loud thud. He said, "I am incompetent and cannot share the emperor's worries. I truly deserve death. I beg the emperor to spare my life for the time being, as I am still somewhat useful. After I return to the Imperial Observatory, I will fulfill my duties and leave you at your mercy once this matter is resolved!"

As he finished his last sentence, blood oozed from his forehead.

Li Shunquan's mouth twitched when he heard the kowtow. This Envoy Wu was really bold.

Xie Rong felt annoyed as he looked at Envoy Wu, who was constantly kowtowing and staggering.

He said that Envoy Wu came to find a solution, not to kowtow to him.

"Okay, since you have no other solution, then go back to the Imperial Observatory and observe closely. If there is anything abnormal, report to me immediately." Xie Rong said.

"Yes!" Wu Zhengshi felt as if he had been pardoned. He walked out of the Taiji Hall in the blink of an eye. His vigorous steps and upright figure did not show any trace of his weak appearance just now.

Xie Rong looked at Envoy Wu's back and snorted coldly.

If this man didn't have some abilities, I would definitely punish him for causing this situation.

Xie Rong summoned Wu Zhengshi today, originally intending to bring him to justice.

But when he actually saw Wu Zhengshi and thought about how he had helped him a lot in the past by observing celestial phenomena, his anger subsided a little.

Seeing him kowtow and begging for mercy, with blood flowing out, his score was reduced by another two points.

Then he thought that after Yuan'er's reminder, he had already issued an imperial decree to reinforce the river embankment. Construction should have been underway in various places by now. Even though it was raining and construction was a little difficult, speeding up the construction would reduce a lot of casualties if a flood really occurred. His anger subsided a bit.

Now there were only three points left. Considering that Wu Zhengshi was the most capable person in the entire Imperial Observatory, and even if he was killed, no one could solve the problem, Xie Rong felt that he could endure that three points of anger and spare his life.

Seeing that Xie Rong was in a good mood, Li Shunquan quickly brought a cup of tea to Xie Rong and said, "Your Majesty, this time it is all thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Rui. I used to think that His Royal Highness Prince Rui was making a big deal out of nothing, but now it seems that I was short-sighted."

"Your Highness is worthy of being the Emperor's son. He is truly far-sighted in his actions."

Hearing Li Shunquan's praise for Xie Nanyuan, Xie Rong felt relieved. He took the teacup and sipped the tea, saying, "Yuan'er has always been cautious in his work. He has indeed done a good job on this matter."

Li Shunquan immediately flattered him, saying, "It is because of the Emperor's wisdom and good teaching that he has taught the prince so well."

Xie Rong glanced at him sideways and said, "You old bastard, all you know is flattery."

Li Shunquan said with a smile: "This is all my ability. Fortunately, the emperor does not despise me."

"Okay, since the rain won't stop for a while, we have to be prepared for any emergency. Summon people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works." Xie Rong said.

Li Shunquan immediately put away his smile and said solemnly, "Yes, I will go right away."

When heavy rain continued for half a month in spring, most people in the capital did not take it seriously. Some people were still in the mood to laugh and chat, and to visit prostitutes.

After a month of spring rain, the atmosphere in the court became noticeably serious. The ministers' houses had banned their useless sons from going out to play with cats and dogs, so as to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

After a month and a half of spring rain, everyone in the capital was already feeling uneasy. They all knew that this spring rain was unusual and feared that something catastrophic was about to happen.

Shen Qionghua couldn't eat or sleep well in the Shen Mansion. Even though she knew that the court had reinforced the river embankment, she still felt uneasy.

As the days passed, the day when the news of the river embankment collapse in the previous life reached the capital was approaching, and Shen Qionghua's heart was lifted.

Fortunately, the day passed without incident.

Just when Shen Qionghua breathed a sigh of relief, news reached the capital the next day.

The riverbank finally collapsed!
