Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

As soon as Du Zheng left, Zhang Hong came to report.

"Your Majesty, Sima Bei is requesting an audience outside the palace!"

"Let him in!" Liu Yan was prepared.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Sima Bei trotted in quickly and was about to kneel down and kowtow.

"No need to be so polite!" Liu Yan simply waved his hand.

Sima Bei still performed the ceremony before standing up and sitting down.

"Sima Qing, is there something wrong?"

Liu Yan went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!" Sima Bei was not vague.

"Say it!"

Liu Yan took a sip of water.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yu has been idle at home with nothing to do. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow Jin Yu to accompany Lord Du to provide disaster relief!"

Having said this, Sima Bei paused.

Liu Yan didn't say anything.

"Is it your idea or Jin Yu's idea?" Liu Yan smiled.

"That's what I meant!" Sima Bei said!

Sima Jin was only fifteen years old, why would he take the initiative to provide disaster relief?

"I have asked the Crown Prince to go with him to provide disaster relief!" Liu Yan looked at Sima Bei.

"What? The prince went to provide disaster relief?"

Sima Bei was shocked. Why was the prince allowed to participate in such a hard task as disaster relief?

"Sima Qing, what's wrong?" Liu Yan smiled.

"I dare not!" Sima Bei's head buzzed. "Your Highness's personal participation in disaster relief is sufficient proof of our emperor's benevolence. The people of the world will surely be grateful for our emperor's kindness!"

"That's right!" Liu Yan nodded slightly. "The heavy rain has caused disasters. There are now more than 10,000 victims. They are displaced and unable to get enough food. I am deeply heartbroken!"

"Your Majesty's benevolence is a blessing to the people and the world!" Sima Bei had no choice but to follow Liu Yan's words.

"I believe that a ruler should share the joys and sorrows of his people. I also intend to go and see those poor disaster victims. Sima Qing, do you agree?"

"Your Majesty! Now that the Crown Prince is accompanying us in the disaster relief efforts, he is already extremely benevolent. Your Majesty, please do not go. The Dragon's health is the most important thing! You are the God of the Great Jing Dynasty!"

Sima Bei's mind raced, and he quickly stood up and knelt down.

"Alas! Sima Qing, you have a point! I was just anxious for the moment!"

"Your Majesty, please take the people's lives into consideration. I, a humble servant, would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the people in the world!" Sima Bei said, and kowtowed several more times.

"Get up!" Liu Yan said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sima Beicai got up and sat down again.

"Just now you said you wanted Jin Yu to follow Du Zheng to provide disaster relief. Have you made up your mind? This is not a joke!" Liu Yan asked again.

"Your Majesty! I was anxious at the moment. Disaster relief is a matter of great importance to the court. If I go with Jin Yu, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble!"

Sima Bei hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"You're right! Now is not the time for training!"

Liu Yan nodded.

"Your Majesty, I was reckless!"

Sima Bei had originally intended to let his son go out to gain experience, but the prince was there, so if he let his son go, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Sima Qing, I'm a little sleepy. If you have nothing else to do, please go back!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Sima Bei hurriedly took his leave.

At this time, Liu Zhao and Chu Lan had already walked out of Shangguan Mi's house.

There was water everywhere and many shouts.

Fortunately, the heavy rain has subsided by now, and the water should have receded a lot.

"Let's go and take a look!" Liu Zhao picked up a branch floating in the water, tried it in the water, and found that almost half of it was gone.

I stepped into the water, and it was just up to my knees.

This is the water after the rain stops. If it is during peak season, you can imagine how deep the water is.

Liu Zhao couldn't help but look back at Shangguan Mi's house, which happened to be a small hill.

Otherwise, it would probably float away!

Chu Lan entered the water cautiously and said, "I'm a little scared!"

His voice was trembling.

"fine!"

Liu Zhao understood very well. After all, she was a girl, and she really didn't dare to walk in the muddy water like this.

"Then hold me and don't let go!" Chu Lan grabbed Liu Zhao tightly.

"Of course not!" Liu Zhao pulled Chu Lan and walked forward cautiously.

Many houses on both sides of the road have been flooded, and a woman is sitting in the water crying loudly.

Liu Zhao pulled Chu Lan over to take a look. She was holding a small child in her arms.

It looks like there is no sign of life!

But at this time everyone was suffering, and no one went up to comfort them.

Liu Zhao pulled Chu Lan towards the gate. Along the way, there were pigs, cows, and some corpses floating by.

Liu Zhao's heart sank. The severity of the flood was probably far beyond his imagination.

After a great disaster comes a great epidemic!

What will the court do?

I can't just stand by and watch, I have to go back and see what's going on!

However, at this time, no one could find the direction of the imperial city!

What about those who protect themselves?

Nima, why hasn’t he appeared yet?

Looking around, I only saw disaster victims.

No one seemed to be protecting himself.

Is he gone?

Not so!

Thinking while walking.

Shangguan Mi is not here either, and no one knows where he went.

Suddenly, Yang Ke and Tang Dan rushed over on horseback with a few others, splashing huge water.

There was a carriage following behind.

The wheels of the carriage were one-third submerged in water.

"Greetings, sir!" Yang Ke jumped off the horse first and knelt on one knee in the water.

The rest of the staff also knelt on one knee.

Completely ignoring the water on the ground.

Two maids got off the carriage, obviously to serve Chu Lan.

Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. The security seemed okay.

There is someone protecting or monitoring you 24 hours a day.

Such a heavy rain couldn’t wash away the disaster?

Not bad.

But where are they hiding?

This is really a mystery!

"Everyone, get up! Will my family let me go back?"

Liu Zhao asked everyone to stand up.

"Yes, something happened at home, and the master asked you to go back quickly!"

Yang Ke said.

This specifically mentioned Liu Yan asking him to go back quickly.

The matter is so urgent, it must be related to the flood.

Liu Zhao nodded and looked at Chu Lan.

Chu Lan held Liu Zhao's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, go and take care of your important matters!"

Liu Zhao had left once before, but that time the matter did not seem urgent, and Liu Zhao came back soon.

The situation this time seems different from before, and I don’t know when I can come back after I go back.

But she didn't cry, she was very clear about her position and role.

Of course, Liu Zhao couldn't explain anything at this time, nor did he need to explain.

At any time, being soft-hearted towards women is a taboo.

"Sir, something happened at home, please return quickly!"

Yang Ke had already squatted down.

"Let's go!" Liu Zhao was a little hesitant because he really didn't know how to ride a horse.

But there was another strong man right there, who must be an expert in horse riding.

Liu Zhao stepped on Yang Ke's body and jumped onto the horse's back.

As for Chu Lan, someone will definitely be sent back to Liuxiang Villa.

"drive!"

Yang Ke waved the whip and the horse galloped away.

Chu Lan was suddenly alone.

"Miss, please get in the car!" The maid brought by Yang Ke came forward and greeted her.

"Yeah!" Chu Lan watched Liu Zhao's back disappear before she got into the car with the help of a maid.
