If you kneel down, your knees will definitely be seriously injured. If you kneel for a long time, it is hard to say whether you can walk normally in the future.

Suddenly, I felt relieved that she brought Xie Tingyu with her...

The hearts of people in this palace are complicated, and all kinds of treacherous methods are used. If you are not careful, you may be doomed and destroyed without leaving anything behind.

I don't know how Fu Jiuli survived in this palace, how he rose to power step by step, and how he still has such power over the government and the country...

He must have suffered a lot.

Shen Nanxing felt a little depressed for a moment.

Since her son said so, Concubine Duan had to give up for the time being even though she disliked Shen Nanxing.

She winked at the maid beside her, and someone immediately took away the yellow cushion in the hall.

Xie Tingyu naturally stepped forward and massaged Concubine Duan's shoulders. "Mother, you are always so magnanimous and understanding. How could you bully my son's princess? I just missed you because it's been a while. My father happened to summon me, and since I had enough time, I took this opportunity to come and see you."

These words touched Concubine Duan's heart. Her anger immediately disappeared, and she smiled sincerely: "You have a conscience and still think about my mother..."

"Your father summoned you today, is it because of the flood in Liang Province?"

Xie Tingyu nodded, his face full of satisfaction. "Indeed, after many days of deliberation, I have now worked out a good plan with my staff. We will surely be able to quickly quell this disaster in Liang Province."

"Today, I will report this good plan to Father. If nothing unexpected happens, I will set off for Liangzhou in three days."

Concubine Duan patted her son's hand with satisfaction and said, "Your father has entrusted you with such an important task as controlling the flood in Liang Province. This is a great trust in you. You must do your best and don't let your father down!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Okay, okay! Mother is waiting for your celebration banquet. When this is accomplished, your father will definitely look at you with admiration!" There was a sincere smile and pride in Concubine Duan's eyes.

Both of them were immersed in the joy of being about to make a great contribution, and no one noticed the strange expression on Shen Nanxing's face as he stood in the hall.

The best strategy Xie Tingyu mentioned was to build high embankments to block the surging river water, and then build many reservoirs throughout Liangzhou to manually transfer the excess water into the reservoirs.

Contempt flashed in Shen Nanxing's eyes.

This method is the dumbest one. Anyone can come up with it. Why would it take days to think about it? Is it worth proudly publicizing?

Moreover, this method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely expensive.

In the previous life, this matter was done by Xie Tingyu. He submitted a memorial requesting 100,000 taels of silver, which was allocated to him by His Majesty.

Before leaving, he said he was worried that there was not enough silver, so he took away another 50,000 taels of silver from her dowry!

She even remembered how he had tricked her.

He said that if this matter was accomplished, it would be a great achievement, not only saving the people of Liangzhou, but also gaining the emperor's appreciation. If he were to crown him crown prince in the future, she would be the crown princess, the future empress, and the mother of the country...

He said a lot of nice words.

Of course, she gave him the money in the end because she would have given it to him if he had asked her for it, even without any reason. It wasn't because of his high-sounding words...

And that silver was almost all of her dowry. She even sold all the shops, farms and valuable jewelry under her name to raise 50,000 taels of silver for him.

As a result, she lived in extreme poverty and had not bought any new clothes or jewelry since her marriage. She had already sold the more expensive jewelry she had brought from the Marquis' Mansion and used the money to pay for it to him.

Even so, she was in charge of the palace's finances, and the public treasury was not enough. She could only supplement her income from her meager dowry every month...
